Abstract:
An operator cab for heavy equipment is disclosed to prevent a sliding door mounted on the cab from rocking or rattling in X, Y, and Z-axis directions due to a shock or vibration applied to the cab in a state that the sliding door is fully opened or closed. The operator cab includes an outer sidewall having a doorway formed thereon; upper and lower rails provided on upper and lower portions of the outer sidewall; a sliding door being slid by upper and lower rollers engaged with the upper and lower rails; an upper stopper of an opened position, installed in the opened position of the outer sidewall, for being in contact with the upper roller when the sliding door is fully opened, to prevent the sliding door from rocking when the upper stopper becomes in contact with the upper roller; and a lower stopper of an opened position, installed in the opened position of the outer sidewall, for being in contact with the lower roller when the sliding door is fully opened, to prevent the sliding door from rocking when the lower stopper becomes in contact with the lower roller.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an automatic moving panel includes: a panel housing; a power source contained within the panel housing; a first motor contained within the panel housing and coupled to the power source; a second motor contained within the panel housing and coupled to the power source; a control circuit contained within the panel housing and coupled to the power source for controlling operation of the first and second motors; at least one first wheel extending downwardly from a bottom surface of the panel housing and coupled to the first motor, wherein the at least one first wheel is configured to be raised and lowered with respect to the bottom surface of the panel housing in response to mechanical forces generated by the first motor; and at least one second wheel extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the panel housing and coupled to the second motor, wherein the at least one second wheel automatically rotated in response to mechanical forces generated by the second motor, thereby moving the panel housing in a desired direction.
Abstract:
A brake assembly for locking a vertical or horizontal slidable sash window or door within a track of a frame is disclosed. The track has an elongated base and a pair of spaced apart, opposed sidewalls extending perpendicular from the base. Each sidewall has an inner shoulder spaced from and parallel to the base. The assembly has a slider body having a central opening extending from a front face of the body to a rear face of the body. The slider body has a side opening in each side of the slider body and being in communication with the central opening. A pair of brake members are provided wherein one brake member is slidably positioned within a respective one of the side openings. A cam has a rear face and a front face, and is adapted to receive a pivot member mounted on either the sash window or door. The cam is positioned in the central opening and is adapted to be rotatable within the opening by the pivot member. The cam, slider body and brake members include cooperative structure for converting rotary motion of the cam into radial movement of the brake members through the side openings and axial movement of the cam and slider body to lock the brake assembly within the track.
Abstract:
A window regulator for raising and lowering a window glass in a motor vehicle. The regulator includes at least one rail defining at least one track, at least one glass carrier for receiving the window glass and mounted for movement along the at least one track, at least one cable where the at least one cable is attached to the at least one glass carrier generally parallel to the at least one track, and a drive unit for operably engaging the at least one cable to move the at least one glass carrier along the at least one track. The cable attachment includes at least one aperture of the glass carrier for receiving an end of the at least one cable and at least one elongated aperture of the glass carrier for receiving a length of the at least one cable generally parallel to the at least one track. The glass carrier additionally includes a cushioned support member for supporting the lower edge of the window glass. The cushioned support member includes a horizontally extending member, which includes a retaining member, and a cushion received by the horizontally extending member and secured by the retaining member. The cushion is formed from a polypropylene material, which is a different material than the horizontally extending member.
Abstract:
A slider for a guide rail of a window lifter includes a guide section configured to be disposed in the guide rail, a sliding section configured to be disposed in the interior of a holding track for a windowpane and a connecting section linking the guide section and the sliding section. The guide section, sliding section, and connecting section are integrated together into a single unitary piece.
Abstract:
Opening and closing system for motor vehicle sliding door, which can be displaced along guide rails between an open position and a closed position, with a brake device for braking the sliding door. The brake device is designed in such that it is activated automatically during displacement of the sliding door when a collision state is indicated or signaled or exists during opening and/or when a jamming state is indicated or signaled or exists during closing (pre-crash situation). The opening and closing system can thus react without any time delay to a jamming or collision state and can rapidly brake the displacement of the relatively heavy sliding door. At the same time or with a time offset, a drive motor for the motorized movement of the sliding door can be braked and/or reversed. The opening and closing system can be used both for manually operated and automatic sliding doors.
Abstract:
A lock latch mechanism disposed within a powered locking device of a transit vehicle door system for maintaining a lock lever in an unlock position without the aid of the lock actuator. The lock latch mechanism includes a lock latch lever biased for engagement with an unlock cam through the use of a bias spring. The lock latch mechanism further includes a reset lever assembly engaging such lock latch lever during the door closing motion to allow movement of the lock lever form such unlocking position into such locking position to maintain at least one door of the transit vehicle in the fully closed and lock position. A manual release lever is provided to move the lock lever from such locking position into such unlocking position enabling the lock latch mechanism to maintain the lock lever in such unlocked position.
Abstract:
A supporting structure for glass comprises a carrier plate 14 attached to a curved glass 11 elastically guided at a side edge by a glass run 22, and cables 16a and 16b stretched in parallel to the glass run 22 and engaged with the carrier plate 14, and a guide plate 37 sliding in the glass run 22 is disposed to the carrier plate 14. The guide plate 37 is of synthetic resin, has the same thickness as the glass 11 and is increasingly thinner toward below.
