Abstract:
An operating mechanism, particularly for the windows of motor vehicles, includes a flexible threaded cable which is mounted in a tubular portion formed by two housing parts which are interconnected. The cable is engaged by a driving gear which is driven from a pinion gear which is affixed to a shaft for rotation therewith. The shaft is driven through a spline gear, for example, by a manually operated crank handle or by a driving motor. The pinion gear also meshes with a gear formed on the exterior of a spring pulley. The spring pulley houses at its interior a coil spring which is tensioned or wound during the driving of the motor to move the window operating cable in an opening direction. During the driving of the cable in an opposite closing direction the spring therefore unwinds and aids in the driving operation.
Abstract:
A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier.

A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier. The mounting bracket may include a first mounting surface disposed at a non-perpendicular angle relative to an exterior surface of carrier when the window balance assembly is in an uninstalled configuration. The first mounting surface may be substantially parallel to the exterior surface of the carrier when the window balance assembly is in an installed configuration and the mounting bracket is disengaged from the carrier.
Abstract:
Support and operating device for sliding doors, in particular for wardrobe cabinets, wherein the doors (6) are moved from a closed and lowered position, to an open and raised position, shifted forward in relation to the closed doors, and vice versa. The device comprising one upper group of component parts and one lower group of component parts for each door (6), suitable for determining the movement of the door in such a way that it is always kept in its correct parallel and orthogonal position in all the shifted positions thereof.
