Abstract:
An opening and closing device for lift-up sliding doors and windows is disclosed. The opening and closing device includes a roller unit (10), which removably contacts a rail (203b) of a support frame (203), a pane frame support unit (20), which is provided in a pane frame (205) and moves away from and approaches the roller unit, a handle (5), which is rotatably provided on a leading end of the pane frame, and a lift operating unit (7), which moves the pane frame support unit with respect to the roller unit. The lift operating unit (7) includes a lift operating bar (40), which is movably provided in the leading end of the pane frame and is coupled to the roller unit, and a lift operating gear unit (60). The lift operating gear unit has a drive gear (61), which is coupled to the handle, a driven gear (65), which increases the rotating force of the drive gear, and a rack gear (67), which engages with the driven gear.
Abstract:
A window lift system, especially for the side window of a motor vehicle, includes (i) a pulling device and (ii) a catch for a window pane, which can be moved up and down using the pulling device. The catch has a first fastening point for an upward pulling end of the pulling device and a second fastening point for a downward pulling end of the pulling device, which point is horizontally off-set from the first fastening point in the window pane plane when the window pane is fitted. The window lift system also includes (iii) an arrangement positioning and fixating the catch in terms of at least three degrees of freedom so that the catch can be maintained in a position that is defined in terms of the degrees of freedom even when the window pane is not yet fitted.
Abstract:
A carriage (1) which serves to hold a panel (4), in particular a glass panel, comprises at least one running element (12) such as a magnet (1200), a wheel (12) and/or a sliding element (120) which is held by at least one corresponding magnetic element (1201) or supported on a running surface (3111) of an at least approximately U-profile or L-profile-shaped rail (3). The rail comprises a central part (32) and one or two lateral parts (31a, 31b), possibly with a foot element (311), on the upper side of which the running surface (3111) is provided. The carriage (3111) comprises one or two carriage parts (1a, 1b; 1c) which can be anchored to the panel (4) by mounting elements (2; 114, 1140; 93, 111), such that the two carriage parts (1a and 1b) can be anchored on the opposing sides (4a, 4b) of the panel (4) in each case by the mounting elements (2; 114, 1140; 93, 111). A one carriage part (1c) is further contemplated, which can be introduced into a groove (45) arranged on the upper side of the panel (4) between the sides (4a, 4b) and anchored there by the mounting elements (2; 114a, 114b, 1140; 93, 111). Further provided is a carriage (1) and a mounting device (2) which can be coupled to the carriage (1) and to the glass panel (4), with two assembly parts (21a; 21b) which are each formed or mounted on one side (4a or 4b) on the upper side of the panel (4) or within a groove (44) of the panel (4).
Abstract:
A horizontal wall is formed with a notch groove. The notch groove is formed by cutting a tip end of the horizontal wall on the side of the vehicle body substantially along an approaching/separating direction between a vehicle body and a slide door. A connecting unit which turnably connects a plate and a roller holder of a connection assembly to each other is movably inserted into the notch groove. The plate and the horizontal wall of the bracket are fastened to each other in a state where they are superposed on each other.
Abstract:
An adhesive system including a structural component to be mounted to a base structure, the structural component having a first bonding location and a second bonding location. The adhesive system also includes a primary bonding applied to the first bonding location of the structural component to bond the structural component to the base structure, the primary bonding comprising an adhesive of a sufficient strength to securely bond the structural component to the base structure; and a secondary bonding applied to the second bonding location of the structural component to bond the structural component to the base structure, the secondary bonding comprising an elastically stretchable adhesive.
Abstract:
A locking arrangement for a door system of a transit vehicle includes a combination of a lock mechanism and an electromagnetic brake. The lock mechanism enables positive locking of at least one door but does not require substantial contact between moving and stationary lock elements. The lock mechanism is connected with the manual release means for door opening during an emergency. The electromagnetic brake maintains door seal compression in the closed and locked condition which improves sealing capabilities and provides for reliable lock mechanism operation. Such combination provides locking redundancy and meets various requirements regarding annunciation and manual release operation.
Abstract:
A spring wiper for curl springs contained within curl spring mounts, holders or shoes operatively engaged with window sashes that are located in window shoe channels. The spring wiper is deployed on the curl spring holder or mount and contains a wiper blade that is transverse to the curl spring, spanning its width, in order to wipe or scrape debris clinging to and/or accumulated on the surface of the curl spring exposed to airborne particulate matter when the curl spring is extended prior to its being retracted into the curl spring mount or holder, thereby keeping such debris from entering the inside of the curl spring mount or holder and interfering with the continued fluid operation of the sash.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pivoting sliding door for vehicles, comprising a door wing (3), drive devices (2), transversal guiding devices (4, 5), and longitudinal guiding devices (7), which enable the at least one door wing (3) to move transversal to the vehicle wall and along the vehicle wall. The longitudinal guiding devices move in a transverse direction by means of the transversal guiding devices. When closed, the door is locked by a pivot part (10), which engages inside a guide (12) whereby preventing the door from being unintentionally opened. The invention is characterized in that the pivot part (10) has a guide part (11) that interacts with a guide (12) and that the guide, in the area in which the pivot part (10) interacts with the guide when the door is closed, has a circular arc section (12b) around the actual position of the rotation axis (9) of the pivot part (10).
Abstract:
A support system for mounting a door, such as a pocket door, on an overhead track is disclosed. The system cooperates with carriage that includes a support rod having a discontinuity at a lower end. The system uses bracket that is adapted for mounting along the upper edge of the door, and an engagement bar that is adapted for engaging the discontinuity on the support rod, so that the door is suspended from the track through the carriage by inserting the discontinuity through the bracket and engaging the discontinuity with the engagement bar, trapping the lower end of the support rod through the aperture in the bracket.
Abstract:
A movable door mounting assembly includes a stud assembly and a trolley assembly having a spring-biased cam piece that pivots between a normal position, which allows the trolley assembly to move freely on the track, and a locked position, which causes a locking surface on the cam piece to frictionally engage with a top surface of the track and hold the trolley assembly in place while the door is being hung. A catch in the stud assembly engages with the cam piece when the mounting assembly is fully assembled. Inserting the stud assembly into the trolley assembly, releases the cam piece from its locked position and, at the same time, positions the catch so that it engages with the cam piece when the door is hung.
