Abstract:
An aircraft structural panel (10) of the skin-stiffener type such as is commonly used in aircraft construction, has a skin (15) supported by uniformly spaced stiffeners or frames (39). Stiffeners (39) are secured to skin (15) and extend outwardly from the associated skin (15). Each stiffener (39) has a horizontal body (38), an inner mounting flange (41), and an outer bowed flange (42). Mounting flange (41) and bowed flange (42) have free edges and respective inturned beads or curls (44, 46) are formed thereon for stiffening of flanges (41) and (42).
Abstract:
A sliding door structure for a vehicle having a continuous door opening consisting of a side opening formed in a side body panel and a roof opening formed un a roof panel comprises a generally reverse L-shaped sliding door having a side portion in conformity with the side opening and a roof portion in conformity with the roof opening and a door guide structure operative to guide the sliding door in a lengthwise direction between a closed position and an open position, the door guide structure consisting of an upper guide rail for supporting a middle portion of the sliding door and a lower base guide rail slidably support a lower end of the sliding door.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a curved vehicle door having a correspondingly curved windowpane and a correspondingly curved function carrier on which all of the add-on parts and door coverings are held and which can be used as protection for the occupant in the nulllacunanull or in a militant assault, the function carrier being provided in each case along lines at least in two parallel planes with intersecting stiffening sections and advantageously being constructed in a sandwich-like manner from at least two shell bodies with longitudinal and transverse stiffening sections within a continuously closed frame, the outer shell body of which has at least two parallel grooves for accommodating a window lifting and lowering device which is matched to the curvature of the vehicle door.
Abstract:
The fixing device which serves for retaining a rail (1), in particular a running or guide rail, has a strip (2) which is provided with an angular profile and can be connected with little outlay on one side to a wall (9) and on the other side to a rail (1). The strip (2) has two limbs (21; 22) which are provided for holding the rail (1), the first limb (21) of which is provided with openings (23) for the passing through of fixing screws (24) which can be connected to the wall (9), and the second limb (22) of which is provided with a T-profile-shaped longitudinal slot (25) which is open towards the rail (1) and serves for holding and for retaining a locking element (3) which preferably has a thread (31) for a mounting screw (32) which can be connected to the rail (1), or is connected fixedly to said mounting screw.
Abstract:
In a sliding element system with at least one sliding element (2), at least one supporting element (4) extending in displacement direction, and with at least one sliding element fitting (6,8) displaceable along the supporting element (4) and holding the sliding element (2), it is provided that the sliding element (2) consists at least partially of transparent material and comprises at least two transparent conducting current paths (10,12) in the transparent part, which invisibly supply a power consumer (14) on or in the sliding element (2) with power, and that the transparent current paths (10,12) of the transparent part of the sliding element (2) are adapted to be supplied with power via the at least one sliding element fitting (6,8).
Abstract:
An automotive vehicle door has a glass window that is raised and lowered by a window regulator that includes a roller cable assembly (15). The roller cable assembly (15) has a rolled section guide rail (18) and a bracket assembly (16) at the lower end portion of the glass window that runs on an L-shaped flange (36) of the guide rail (18). The roller cable assembly (15) includes upper and lower roller assemblies (28 and 30) at the respective upper and lower ends of guide rail (18) and a cable (20) that is trained on rollers (22 and 24) of the roller assemblies and on a drive roller (26) that is driven by an electric motor (32). Each roller assembly includes a base (42) that is slideably attached to the guide rail (16) and a detachable cap pin (44) that attaches the guide roller to the base (42).
Abstract:
A window lifter comprises a cable, a window linkage driven by the cable, a fixed device and a cable redirecting device. The cable redirecting device is rotatably mounted on the fixed device and adapted to automatically lock onto the fixed device upon reaching a predetermined angular position. In addition, the cable redirecting device has a cable guiding portion which is not a figure of revolution about the axis of rotation relative to the fixed device. This window lifting mechanism provides a simple structure with few elements. Its assembly is also simple: the cable-redirecting device is rotatably mounted on the fixed device; it is thereafter rotated for tensioning the cable and then locked in a position where the cable is tensioned.
Abstract:
A double walled vehicle door having an inside door panel and an outside door panel forming a space therebetween. The inside door panel having at least one cutout therein. A module carrier is attached to the inside door panel such that the module carrier covers and peripherally seals the at least one cutout. A dual cable window lift having guide bars each having a lower end with an associated pulley mounted thereon and an upper end with an associated pulley mounted thereon. The dual cable window lift being mounted on the module carrier such that the lower ends of the guide bars extend beyond a periphery of the module carrier and the upper ends of the guide bars are positioned within the periphery of the module carrier. The upper ends of the guide bars are mounted on a side of the inside door panel adapted to face an interior of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A door sash guides a glass pane into a panel body of a vehicular door is provided in the panel body. The door sash includes an upper door sash and a lower door sash provided in a vertically spaced relation to the upper door sash. A guide portion bent to extend outward is provided at an upper end of the lower door sash.
Abstract:
Guide track assemblies for upward acting doors include substantially linear vertical and horizontal track sections and curvilinear transition sections formed as portions of each of the vertical and horizontal linear sections. The track assemblies are supported, respectively, by mounting brackets which also support a counterbalance mechanism for the door. The curvilinear transition track sections are formed integral with the vertical and horizontal track sections and may have a constant or elliptical radius of curvature, the latter to provide clearance for the guide track assemblies in low headroom installations. The mounting brackets are formed of stamped metal plates which are folded to provide a first flange for attaching the mounting bracket to a structural wall, a support part including a flag portion for connection to the guide track sections and a second flange for connection to a door counterbalance mechanism.
