Abstract:
A door glass raising and falling apparatus has a carrier plate 71 mounted onto a door glass 70. The door glass 70 is movable along sashes 41, 42 disposed on a door. The carrier plate 71 includes securing portions that are fixed to moving portions 67a, 67b of a wire-rope body 67. The carrier plate 71 also has a glass support portion 74 for supporting the door glass 70, and a pair of front and rear glass fixing portions 77, 78 each including a screw member 75. The door glass 70 has mounting holes supported by the glass fixing portions 77, 78, respectively. The dimension of the mounting holes is larger than the outside diameter of the shaft portion of each of the screw members 75 so that the door glass 70 is moveable with respect to the carrier plate 71. Also, a wire-rope body 150 extends over a plurality of pulleys. Some of the pulleys 142, 143 are rotatably mounted on frame members 136, 137 by pulley shafts 182 respectively. stoppers 184 are mounted on the pulley shafts 182, to limit the falling distance of the glass rising and falling body 162.
Abstract:
An automatic sliding door cable mechanism with a take up guide member (46) mounted in a drum (14) for taking up slack of a cable during installation of the cable. A second drum (16) has an elliptical profile drum helix (96) for increasing durability of the operating cable for the automatic door.
Abstract:
A device for a window lifter of a vehicle door includes a cable winding drum disposed inside a housing of a casing and a seal attached to the casing. The seal includes a stop portion that prevents translational movement of the drum along its rotational axis while still allowing the drum to rotate freely about the axis. The inventive device allows the drum to be held in the housing before the casing is mounted on a dividing panel without requiring auxiliary parts to hold the drum in place and without compromising the seal when the casing is fastened to or removed from the dividing panel.
Abstract:
The door glass raising and falling apparatus comprises a carrier plate 71 to be mounted onto the lower end portion 70b of a door glass 70. The door glass 70 is capable of rising and falling along sashes 41, 42 respectively disposed in the front and rear portions of a door. The carrier plate 71 extends in the back-and-forth direction of the door glass 70 along the lower end of the door glass 70 and includes securing portions respectively formed in the given portions of the carrier plate 71, while the moving portions 67a, 67b of a wire-rope body 67 can be respectively fixed to the securing portions of the carrier plate 71. The carrier plate 71 further comprises a glass support portion 74 for supporting the middle portion of the lower end of the door glass 70 in the back-and-forth direction thereof, and a pair of front and rear glass fixing portions 77, 78 each including a screw member 75. In the door glass 70, there are formed mounting holes which can be supported by the glass fixing portions 77, 78, respectively. The dimension of each of the mounting holes is set sufficiently larger than the outside diameter of the shaft portion of each of the screw members 75 so that, when the screw members 75 are loosened, the door glass 70 can be moved with respect to the carrier plate 71. Also, the door glass raising and falling apparatus further comprises a wire-rope body 150 for raising and falling a glass rising and falling body 162. The wire-rope body 150 is wired over and between a plurality of pulleys. Of these pulleys, pulleys 142, 143, which are situated on the lower side, are rotatably mounted on frame members 136, 137 by pulley shafts 182 respectively. Rubber stoppers 184 are mounted on the pulley shafts 182, respectively. The rubber stoppers 184 are structured such that, when the glass rising and falling body 162 reaches its falling limit, the lower end face of the glass rising and falling body 162 can be contacted with the rubber stoppers 184.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a window lifter comprising a window connecting element; a cable drive motor element, offset from the travel of the connecting element, a first and a second cable return which returns are arranged at one end of the travel of the connecting element and superposed, a third cable return arranged at another end of the travel of the connecting element, a cable secured to the window connecting element. This window lifter has, in particular, greater compactness.
Abstract:
A motorized sliding door mechanism for a motor vehicle having a body structure having a door opening and door. The mechanism includes a motor and drum assembly mounted on the door and a cable system including cable runs anchored to spaced points on the body structure. One cable run is wrapped in one direction around the drum and extends to an anchor point proximate the rear edge of the door opening of the body structure and a second run is wrapped around the drum in an opposite direction and extends to a point at the rear end of a rear guide track for the door which is mounted to the body structure. The cable runs extend from the drum to the anchor points via a pivotal hinge and a guide block at the rear of the door for guiding the sliding movement of the door.
Abstract:
An electrically operated actuator (10) for a slideable door (8) of a motor vehicle (6) includes a planetary gear set (12) having a sun gear (22), a number of pinion gears (24) rotatably mounted on a planet carrier (26) and interengaging with the sun gear, and a ring gear (28) interengaging with the pinion gears, the sun gear, planet carrier and ring gear being rotatable about an axis (A). An electrical motor (14) is connected to the ring gear to rotate the ring gear about the axis and an electrically actuated brake (16) is connected to the sun gear to brake rotation of the sun gear about the axis. A cable drum (18) is rotatably driven by the planet carrier (26). A cable (20) is wound around the cable drum and connected to the slidable door.
Abstract:
A control method of sliding a vehicle door by a powered sliding device with a clutch mechanism comprises the steps of stopping a motor in a state that a rotation of a wire drum is restricted by an auxiliary brake when the slide door reaches at a desired semi-open position; displacing the clutch mechanism into a second coupled state by the motor while the auxiliary brake is actuated; releasing the restriction by the auxiliary brake when a predetermined time has elapsed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for assembling and holding a mobile element of a system driving a mobile closure, in a housing made in a pre-formed plate. The mobile element is assembled and held in the housing by means of at least one pliable tongue.
Abstract:
A cable drive assembly in a closed-loop cable closure system for opening and closing a sliding door on a vehicle includes helical front and rear cable grooves supported on the vehicle frame for rotation about a helix axis. A front cable extends from the front cable groove to the sliding door in a position to be wound into and unwound from the front cable groove in response to front cable groove rotation about the helix axis. A rear cable extends from the rear cable groove to the sliding door in a position to be wound into and unwound from the rear cable groove in response to rear cable groove rotation about the helix axis. A single cable drive spool is supported on the vehicle frame for rotation about the helix axis and includes both the front and the rear cable grooves. A motor rotates the spool in one direction about the helix axis to open the sliding door and in an opposite direction about the helix axis to close the sliding door.
