Abstract:
A method for producing a spindle drive for an adjustable element of a vehicle, wherein the spindle drive has a substantially tubular spindle drive housing and two connections for diverting driving movements, wherein at least one connection of the spindle drive has a connection head which is connected to the spindle drive via a connection neck which is thinner than the connection head. A sealing cap for the spindle drive housing is provided with a sealing opening, in order to install the sealing cap, the sealing cap is pulled with the sealing opening thereof over the connection head of a connection of the spindle drive, and the peripheral region of the sealing opening is elastically deformed by the engagement with the connection head and is therefore widened, and that the peripheral region of the sealing opening is subsequently deformed back elastically in frictionally sealing engagement with the connection neck.
Abstract:
A door assembly is provided which comprises a stationary frame and a movable frame, wherein the door assembly further comprises an adjusting assembly for fixing and adjusting the movable frame. The adjusting assembly comprises a fixing element disposed at one end of the fixing frame and including an engagement element on which a first groove is formed, an adjusting element disposed at one end of the movable frame and including a first through hole corresponding to the first groove and a cavity for receiving the engagement element, and a locking member comprising a handle portion and a rotation portion which can go through the first through hole such that at least one part of the rotation portion can reach in the first groove.
Abstract:
A sliding door with reversible hand configurations can include a plurality of mounting locations along a top and a bottom edge thereof. The plurality of mounting locations can be configured to allow the sliding door to selectively hang and operate according to multiple orientations in order to satisfy site-specific handedness requirements. In one implementation, the sliding door includes a door frame and mounting hardware for selectively mounting the sliding door to a roller track affixed near the upper portion of a doorway.

Abstract:
An operating assembly for use with a door is disclosed. The operating assembly has a motor housed in an enclosure that is positioned in a floor cavity. The motor rotates a drive spindle. An actuator assembly is attached to the floor. An actuator track is attached to the enclosure and has a slot configured to receive at least a portion of the drive spindle. A first converter is positioned at one end of the actuator track and is coupled to the drive spindle. A second converter is positioned at the other end of the actuator track. A drive element attached to a bottom surface of the door is positioned in the track. A transfer device couples the first and second converters to the drive element. During operation, the motor rotates the drive spindle and the first converter to move the transfer device to move the drive element and the door.
Abstract:
A motor driven door assembly is provided, the motor driven door assembly includes a door frame, a motor assembly connected to the door frame and having a motor directly connected to a first portion of a door hinge, and a door connected to the door hinge. The door hinge includes a second portion supported by a bearing assembly that carries substantially all of the door's weight, and the motor directly drives the door hinge to open or close the door.
Abstract:
Housing for at least partially accommodating a furniture fitting, wherein the housing is designed such that it can be changed in length along a longitudinal axis (L) of the housing.
Abstract:
An opening, through which a connection section between a drive arm and a rod of a power back door enters and exits, is covered with cover members to improve external appearance, and interference between the connection section and the cover members is eliminated when the connection section passes through the opening to prevent abnormal noise and damage to the cover members during the passage of the connection section. A pair of cover members 6a and 6b are provided along right and left vertical edges of a vertically long opening 50 that is formed in a side edge defining a door opening 1, through which a connection section S between a drive arm 3 and a rod 4 of a power back door for automatically driving a back door 2 adapted to close and open the door opening 1 can enter and exit, such that lip-shaped end edges thereof face and contact each other. The cover members 6a and 6b are gradually expanded in width so that they have a greater width on the lower side thereof, and a contacting position is shifted downwardly and inwardly of the opening 50, thereby forming an entrance/exit opening 64 surrounded by lower edges of expanded sections of the cover members 6a and 6b, through which the connection section S enters and exits.
Abstract:
A sliding door drive assembly for a motor vehicle having a sliding door includes a transmission operatively connected to a motor for transmitting a rotating force to an output shaft. A cable drum is fixedly secured to the output shaft and rotates therewith. First and second cables are wound about the cable drum in opposite directions. The first cable extends from the cable drum forward along the sliding door. The second cable extends from the cable drum rearward along the sliding door. Support guides extend tangentially out from the cable drum to guide the first and second cables outwardly and away from the cable drum along a path minimizing frictional forces. Front and rear pulley assemblies are mounted to the motor vehicle and are operatively coupled to the first and second cables between the sliding door drive assembly and the sliding door for tensioning the first and second cables.
Abstract:
An actuating device is provided for moving a closure panel between an open position spaced apart from a vehicle body and a closed position abutting the vehicle body to close an access opening thereof. The actuating device includes a telescopic arm having a first member coupled to one of the closure panel and the vehicle body and a second member coupled to the other of the closure panel and the vehicle body. The first and second members are slidable relative to one another to move the actuating device between a retracted position corresponding with the closed position and an extended position corresponding with the open position. A screw is rotatable relative to the first member. The screw includes a cavity formed therewithin. A nut is secured to the second member and threadingly engages the screw such that rotation of the screw moves the second member towards and away from the first member to move the actuating device between the respective retracted and extended positions. A gas spring is at least partially disposed within the cavity of the screw for urging the actuating device into the extended position to move the closure panel into the open position.
