Abstract:
An automatic revolving door drive is described, with a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit with a closing spring and an opener motor, consisting of an electric motor and hydraulic pump. It is a so-called servo closer, with which the door is opened with motor support and automatically closes with hydraulic damping under the influence of the closing spring. In order to be able to use even low-powered opener motors and to produce a relatively compact design, provision is made such that during the motorized opening process the pressure of the hydraulic medium is regulated with adjustment to the prevailing force of the closing spring, in which the closing spring that cooperates with the piston abuts the piston at one end and a hydraulic pressure cushion at the other end, with the same hydraulic pressure being set and regulated by a special pressure-regulating valve in the pressure chamber and in the hydraulic pressure cushion.
Abstract:
A rotary damper, in particular for actuated parts in automotive vehicles, comprising a housing including a cylindrical damper chamber, a liquid in the chamber, a rotatably supported shaft in the chamber having at least one vane such that upon rotation of the shaft displaced liquid flows through a flow constriction between the vane and the wall of the chamber, characterized in that the vane is inclined relative to the shaft in the circumferential direction of the shaft and relative to a diameter extending through the base of the vane, and that the vane is adapted to swing relative to the shaft such that upon a rotation of the shaft in one sense the vane is moved towards the chamber wall and upon rotation in the opposite sense the vane is moved towards the shaft.
Abstract:
A door closer having a slide rail linkage and capable of being essentially fully concealed upon installation in either a door panel or door frame, has a housing in which is mounted a closer shaft. The closer shaft has a first end projecting from the housing to be attached to the slide rail linkage, a cam for providing the closing movement of the door, and a second end which is mounted in a journal bearing disposed within the housing.
Abstract:
A rotation deceleration device used for a sanitary cleaning device which includes a toilet seat and a toilet cover and is attached to a toilet bowl, thereby injecting warm water in the toilet bowl. The rotation deceleration device includes a cylinder having a hydraulic chamber filled with a control oil; a rotation shaft inserted through the cylinder; a control wall radially projected from the rotation shaft to divide the hydraulic chamber into at least two sub chambers; a control valve provided between the control wall and an inner surface of the cylinder. The control valve has a closing wall opposed to a side surface of the control wall so as to be attachable thereto and also has an engaging member opposed to the other side of the control wall so as to be engageable therewith in accordance with the rotation of the rotation shaft. The control valve is formed of a material which has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than that of a material forming the control wall and the cylinder.
Abstract:
A rotating-piston type rotary damper includes a rotor of substantially triangular prism shape, a rotor housing having an operation chamber provided with a stationary gear with external teeth, a main shaft having an operation shaft portion and an eccentric, and a lid having a through hole for permitting passage therethrough of the operation shaft portion. The rotor has a central circular through hole formed normal to its end faces so that one open side thereof serves as a fitting hole for the eccentric and the other open side thereof is provided therein with a gear with internal teeth for engagement with the external teeth and is accommodated in the operation chamber to define volume-variable compartments containing viscous liquid. The rotor has communication holes for transferring the viscous liquid in a volume-variable compartment of decreasing volume when the rotor is rotated into adjacent volume-variable compartments.
Abstract:
An improved vending machine having an enclosure for storage of articles and an access door is provided with an arm affixed to the door and which has a free end, with a hydraulic door closer connected between the free end and the machine. A stop element is affixed to the machine enclosure and projects into the door opening of the access door for stopping movement of the arm thereby to limit the opening movement of the door and thus prevent application of excessive force to the hydraulic door closer. The vending machine also includes a latch hook releasably engageable with the stop element for restraining the door in an open position against return to a closed position.
Abstract:
A one-way damper has a rotor which is provided with a braking disc at one of its ends. The braking disc is received in a housing of the damper and the housing is filled with oil. The other end of the rotor extends outward from the housing and has a gear loosely mounted thereon. The gear is engaged with a coil spring. When the gear rotates in one direction, the coil spring is reduced in diameter so that it grips the rotor, making it possible for the torque of the gear to be transmitted to the rotor through the coil spring. When the gear rotates in the other direction, the coil spring is expanded in diameter so that it does not grip the rotor, making it possible for the gear to turn freely. The one-way damper is used in association with a lid or door to damp one but not the other of the opening and closing operations.
Abstract:
A delayed action door closer that delays a portion of the closing of a door for an adjustably determined period of time after the door has been moved to its fully open position. An interdependent hydraulic speed control system utilizes a delayed action speed control regulating valve which controls the closing speed of the door in the delayed action zone only, and whose speed cannot be adjusted faster than the main closing speed, but can be adjusted to provide a desired delay time prior to the door closing under normal regulation. The placement of the interdependent hydraulic system in the checking end of the closer allows the closer to have a fully adjustable independent backcheck.
