Abstract:
A carrier for connection of a window pane to a window lift of a motor vehicle comprises guiding claws spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of a guide rail of the window lift for guiding the carrier on the guide rail. The carrier includes a window pane holder for connecting the window pane with the carrier and an adjusting device for adjusting the position and/or orientation of the window pane with respect to the guide rail. To ensure an exact bearing of the window pane on an associated sealing contour on a motor vehicle body with simple constructive means, little mounting effort and few components, at least one guiding claw is adjustable in a direction vertical to the longitudinal extension of the guide rail or in longitudinal extension of the guide rail and vertical to the longitudinal extension of the guide rail.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a supporting element which takes the form of an angle bar. Suitable means are used to provide the bar with a cable guide sheave and the supporting element and the sheave, together with the aforementioned means, are mounted on a guide section of the type used in window regulators. Preferably, a supporting element and a sheave are provided close to each of the ends of the above-mentioned section.

Abstract:
A door opening-and-closing apparatus for a vehicle, includes a driving unit fixed at a vehicle door for opening and closing a door opening of a vehicle body and having a driving source, a drum and a cable, a rotating shaft fixed at the vehicle door and extending in a vehicle width direction, a first pulley rotatably supported by the rotating shaft and having a first guide groove, within which one of the first and second end portions of the cable Is engaged so as to be guided to the vehicle body, and a second pulley rotatably supported by the rotating shaft so as to be arranged in parallel with the first pulley in the vehicle width direction, and having a second guide groove, within which the other one of the first and second end portions of the cable is engaged so as to be guided to the vehicle body.
Abstract:
An unlock mechanism for a rotary door operator of a transit vehicle includes a pivotally disposed lock member adapted for rotating into an unlock position and activating a valve for discharging the fluid pressure from a drive cylinder to enable a manual opening of the door. A spring is provided for biasing the lock member into a lock position. The lock member may be moved into the unlock position either with a cable or a lever handle.
Abstract:
A drum which receives a cable of a counterbalancing system of a cable-operated door, the cable having an extremity provided with a stopper. The drum includes a substantially cylindrical body, a cable entry groove and a securing slot. The drum further includes an embossment configured about the drum and its components in order to prevent that the cable from coming off its normal position in the drum when there is a “slack” condition in the cable.
Abstract:
A drive unit is arranged in a side of one side surface of a panel constituting a part of a door, and a drum case of a driven unit is fixed to a side of another side surface of the panel. The side of another side surface of the panel is provided with a plurality of engagement portions, which are engaged respectively with a plurality of to be engaged portions provided in the drum case, thereby positioning the drum case.
Abstract:
A powered sliding device includes a wire drum (16) connected to a vehicle sliding door (11) through wire cables (18, 19), a motor (14) for rotating the wire drum, a clutch mechanism (25) provided between the motor and the wire drum, a rotational member (85) rotated integrally with the wire drum, detection apparatus (86) for detecting the rotation of the rotational member, and a housing (74). The housing includes a first space (76) accommodating the wire drum and communicating with the outside of the housing through the wire cables and a second space accommodating the rotational member and the detection apparatus, and a housing body (73) provided between the first space and the second space which separates the first space and the second space.
Abstract:
A door actuating system has a fractional horsepower motor mounted on the door adjacent its free edge, driving a clutch connected to a duplex capstan pulley that is wrapped by two tensioned flexible static lines, for opening/closing movement ‘along the line’. The motor also drives a gear that engages a rack projecting from the door frame, to displace the door relative to its frame. Rotation of the gear is read by a rotary encoder, which feeds a microprocessor, to continuously monitor the location, speed and direction of motion of the door, for both the ‘on’ and the ‘off’ condition of the electric motor. A latching clip over-rides action of the original door latch.
Abstract:
An opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle, which has a door-lock mechanism, is provided. An output of a motor unit is transmitted to a drum having a planetary gear mechanism, and the slide door of the vehicle is driven by an open-side cable and a close-side cable wound around the drum. A closer cable of the door-lock mechanism is coupled to a carrier of the planetary gear mechanism, and coupled to a latch of the door-lock mechanism via a coupling link. The coupling link is constituted as a toggle mechanism so as to regulate the rotation of the latch by the traction force of the closer cable until the latch is rotated toward a full latch direction from an unlatch position. When the regulation of the latch by the toggle mechanism is released, the latch is rotationally driven toward the full latch direction due to the rotation of the carrier.
