Abstract: A door apparatus includes a door having a hole and configured to be slidable with respect to a vehicle body, a member configured to open and close the hole, a first detector configured to detect a position of the member relative to the hole to determine an openness of the hole, a second detector configured to detect a position of the door relative to the body, and a unit configured to be activated to project from one to another of the body and the door, so as to abut on the another such that the door is stopped from sliding in an opening direction, when the openness is greater than a threshold, and the position is between a full-closed position and a midway position.

Abstract: A mechanism and method for operating a track-mounted door is disclosed. The mechanism includes a pair of side drums that are connected by first cables to the bottom of the door. The side drums are coaxially mounted on a shaft for simultaneous rotation with a pair of cable drums. The cable drums are connected to high pressure gas struts by second cables. Each second cable is carried around a shiv wheel that slides along a guide track as the second cable moves. Each shiv wheel is operatively connected to one of the gas struts. As the shiv wheel moves along the guide track toward the cable drum, the gas strut is charged. As the shiv wheel moves away from the cable drum, the gas strut is discharged. A standard electric motor and screw driven lift-arm is used to initiate the opening and closing of the door. The charged gas strut stores sufficient energy to overcome friction and gravity to assist the electric motor and lift-arm to open the door.

Abstract: A reel drum is rotatably supported on a board, and a tensioner case is detachably mounted to the board in the vicinity of the reel drum. Wires are extended from the reel drum in directions opposite to each other. A pair of tension rollers pressed onto the respective wires and roller holders rotatably supporting the respective tension rollers are attached to the tensioner case to be allowed to move in directions substantially orthogonal to the respective wires when the wires are tensioned. Moreover, the tensioner case is provided with biasing means to bias the roller holders in directions that the tension rollers are pressed onto the respective wires. The biasing means is a torsion spring. A contact portion of each roller holder which a wire end extended portion of the torsion spring is in contact with has an angle shape with a ridge aligned in a direction orthogonal to the wire end extended portion of the torsion spring.

Abstract: In the present control method, by measuring the sliding quantity of a sliding door until the sliding door reaches a door-open end DOE after passing a holder check point HCP, a distance Y from the HCP to the DOE is found. A distance Znull from the HCP to the opening speed final decelerating position FDP is found from the relation between the distance Y and a specified distance Z by calculation. By the next door opening operation, when the sliding door has passed the HCP and the sliding quantity from the HCP becomes equal to the distance Znull, the controller 32 judges that the sliding door has reached the final decelerating position FDP, and decelerates the sliding door.

Abstract: A drive device for opening and closing a slide body includes: a drum mating with a secondary cable end portion of a first cable and a secondary cable end portion of a second cable. The drum includes; a main drum mating with the secondary cable end portion of one of the first cable and the second cable, and a sub-drum mating with the secondary cable end portion of the other of the first cable and the second cable. An inner gear is formed on an inner face of one of the main drum and the sub-drum. An outer gear is formed on an outer face of the other of the main drum and the sub-drum. The inner gear meshing with the outer gear defines a position for adjusting a cable length of the first cable and a cable length of the second cable.

Abstract: A door assembly includes a simple and compact mount for attaching a power or manual window drive mechanism within a door module. The drive mechanism can be removed from a door panel without having to remove the driven mechanism that lowers and raises the window. The drive mechanism is positioned on one side of the panel and the driven mechanism is positioned on an opposite side of the panel from the drive mechanism. A retaining assembly retains the driven and drive mechanisms to the panel such that the drive mechanism can be selectively detached from the panel without detaching the driven mechanism from the panel.
