Abstract:
An engagement element is provided on the inside of the door leaf or of the door at a defined distance from the inside of the door. A spring-loaded locking hasp lies horizontally opposite the engagement element on the inside of the door frame. The locking hasp has a semicircular or claw-shaped recess and a laterally projecting locking section. A locking element is movably guided inside the door frame and connected to a vertically movable rod. During the closing movement of the door, the engagement element engages with the recess of the locking hasp, which swings with its locking section in the direction of the center of the door opening and assumes a position parallel to the door and is locked in this position by a movement of the locking element which is triggered in the vertical direction.
Abstract:
A sliding door for a motor vehicle, the sliding door being movable by a sliding motion into an opened and into a closed position, and having a fixing arrangement (2). The fixing arrangement (2) has an engagement module (3) and an engagement element (4), the engagement module (3) engaging the engagement element (4) when the sliding door is moved into the opened position and in this way fixing the sliding door in the opened position. It is proposed that the engagement module (3), when the sliding door has been fixed in the opened position, can be actuated by a drive in a motorized manner so that, in this way, the engagement element (4) is released and the sliding door can then be moved in the closing direction.
Abstract:
A motor-driven wall element of a dividing wall is secured and sealed in an end position by at least one motor-driven closure profile. The voltage applied to the wall element for moving the element is switched in an end position of the element by a switching apparatus in such a way that the at least one closure profile is moved out after the end position is reached and is moved in before the end position is exited.
Abstract:
A method and a control apparatus for controlling the movement of a sliding door in its end closing area by always permitting movement of the door leaf in a closing direction by providing a free wheel, only permitting movement of the door leaf in an opening direction when a brake, coupling or other fixation for a fixed part of the free wheel remote from the door leaf is disengaged, determining door position, deactivating any present safety devices against pinching in the predetermined end closing area, reducing a current supply of the door drive and thus a closing force acting on the door leaf to a lower value as long as the door leaf is within the end closing area, and disengaging the brake, coupling or other fixation which acts on the part of the free wheel remote from the door leaf.
Abstract:
A door actuator, in particular the door lock, for rail vehicles, comprising a spindle drive, the spindle of which is connected to a freewheel, permitting rotation in the direction corresponding to the closing of the door and preventing rotation in the direction corresponding to the opening of the door. The part of the freewheel furthest from the spindle is mounted such as to rotate, but with a releasable fixing relative to a release device, achieved by a coupling which may be released by solenoid. The brake, clutch or similar coupling is or may be fixed in the open position and a closing magnet is provided. In a first version, the coupling, is operated by a bar, and between the released position of the bar and the locked position of the bar there is a dead-point. In a second version, the open position is maintained by a permanent magnet.
Abstract:
An upwardly acting sectional door (24), including a plurality of panels (40), body portions (50) of the panels constructed of a flexible polymeric material and having a front surface (55), a cladding (80) covering the front surface of the body portions and having hooks (83, 84) at the upper and lower edges thereof, a hinge member (51) at an edge of the body portion operatively engaging the hooks of adjacent of the panels to provide relative pivotal motion between adjacent panels. Another embodiment is an upwardly acting sectional pan door (224) including, a plurality of panels (240), facers (250) of the panels defining a front surface of the door and having cooperatively engaging couplers (270) at the upper and lower edges thereof; stiles (280) at the ends of the facers receiving and attached to the facers, and hinge assemblies (290) located at the end stiles to provide relative pivotal motion between the stiles and the couplers of adjacent panels.
Abstract:
A side sliding door device is provided for a vehicle that opens and closes an entrance on a side of the vehicle by a sliding door movably supported on a horizontal door rail. The sliding door device includes an automatic locking mechanism that is interlocked with a closing operation of the sliding door, and locks the sliding door in a closed state, and a manual locking mechanism that locks the sliding door in the closed state by a manual operation. The automatic locking mechanism and the manual locking mechanism are secured on a common base plate on a vehicle body and integrated into one unit, so that the manual locking mechanism prevents an unlocking operation of the automatic locking mechanism in a locked state and holds the sliding door in the locked state.
Abstract:
A hinge assembly includes a central shaft (20), including an outer screw thread (221); a turning element (30), including a central hole (322) and a holding pin (314), an inner screw thread (323) formed at an inner surface of the central hole; a elastic means (40); a blocking element (50), defining a first through hole (51) and a second through hole (52); and a button (71), including a supporting pin (72). The central shaft extends through the central hole of the turning element, the first elastic element, and the first through hole of the blocking element in that order, the outer screw thread engages with the inner screw thread, and the holding pin of the turning element is received in the second through hole of the blocking element. The present invention enables a foldable electronic device to be opened simply by pressing the button.
Abstract:
A tilt-latch (10) adapted for releasably securing a pivotable sash window (12) disposed within opposed guide rails (16) on a master frame (14) of a window sash assembly (11) is disclosed. The sash window (12) comprises a top sash rail (20), a base (22) and two stiles (24,26) connected together at their extremities. The tilt-latch (10) comprises a housing (42) adapted to be supported by the top rail (20). The housing (42) has an outward end opening (44) and a cover (51). A latch bolt (46) is disposed within the housing (42) and has a nose (47) adapted for engaging a respective one of the guide rails (16). The latch bolt (46) also has a slot (66). The tilt-latch (10) further has an actuator (48) having a post (90). The post (90) is received by the slot (66). The tilt-latch (10) also has a spring (50) for biasing the latch bolt (46) through the outward end opening (44). The actuator (48) is connected to the latch bolt (46) and is sized to be positioned over the entire cover (51) of the housing (42). The housing (42) and latch bolt (46) are made of plastic and the actuator (48) is made from zinc.
Abstract:
A device for opening and closing a movable furniture part, in particular a drawer, door or shutter includes two trigger and drive units which each have a trigger member controllable by the action of an external force and a drive member coupled to the trigger member for moving the furniture part and one or more locking members for locking the furniture part in the closed position and release of the furniture part as a function of the action of an external force on one or more trigger members. The two trigger and drive units are coupled to one another synchronously and substantially without play by a path- and force-transmitting means.
