Abstract:
An actuator device is disclosed for opening a sliding door comprises a casing or box in which a driven shaft is rotatably carried, wherewith are in rigid rotatory relationship a pinion gear meshing with a rack mounted on the sliding door and a helical gear wheel meshing with a worm screw keyed to a driveshaft driven by an electric motor housed in the casing and including a rotor carried on the driveshaft and arranged between a pair of plates one whereof is rigid with the driveshaft and the other whereof is rotatively coupled to but axially movable with respect to the driveshaft by means of a torque limiter.
Abstract:
A device for controlling the movement of the two doors is housed in a tile-shaped elongate support which is disposed above the doorway and is pivoted about a horizontal axis extending longitudinally of the roof of the car. The tile-shaped support carries centrally an electric motor for rotating two screws which are situated on respective sides of the motor and are threaded in opposite directions. A nut is mounted on each screw to run longitudinally, and has a forked part which engages a draw-bolt carried by the respective door of the doorway. When the tile-shaped support is pivoted upwardly by hand from outside the car, each fork is disengaged from its respective bolt to allow the emergency opening of the doors.
Abstract:
A door roller provided with an engagement arm which is capable of being engaged with, by an engaging member attached to an upwardly bent end of the engaging arm, a guide groove formed with a downward opening longitudinally along a lower frame of a window structure for preventing a sliding door from an accidental removal. An inner housing retaining a tire shaft is rotatably pivoted to an outer housing of the door roller via another axis parallel to the tire shaft. The engagement arm which is engaged with the inner housing by way of an engaging mechanism is disposed freely movable upwards and downwards in relation to the outer housing. The engaging mechanism is located at a further position than the tire shaft from the another axis such that the engagement arm may be moved vertically, when the tire has been ascended or descended by a predetermined amount, by a larger amount than or an approx. equal amount to the predetermined amount in relation to the outer housing.
Abstract:
A sliding door roller assembly comprising a unitary press-formed L-shaped corner bracket having a pivotal roller carriage with an outwardly biased detent engageable in a groove in a flange of the corner bracket.
Abstract:
A SUPPORTING ROLLER ASSEMBLY FOR A SLIDING PANEL, SUCH AS A SLIDING SCREEN DOOR, MOVABLE ALONG A TRACK AND HAVING AN EDGE SURFACE FACING THE TRACK. THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY INCLUDES A SPRING BIASED ROCKER ARM HAVING A ROUNDED SEATING EDGE SEATING AGAINST THE PANEL EDGE SURFACE, A TRACK ENGAGING ROLLER ON THE ARM ADJACENT ONE END OF ITS SEATING EDGE, AND ATTACHMENT MEANS PIVOTALLY SECURED TO THE ARM ADJACENT THE OTHER END OF THE SEATING EDGE FOR SECURING THE ARM TO THE PANEL AND ADJUSTING THE ARM TO SHIFT THE POINT OF CONTACT OF ITS SEATING EDGE WITH THE PANEL EDGE SURFACE IN A DIRECTION ALONG THE SEATING EDGE, THUS TO ADJUST THE ROLLER TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE PANEL EDGE SURFACE.
