Abstract:
A guide rail for a window regulator which is light in weight and is high in rigidity, being formed from a hoop plate and having a double-bending portion which is raised at almost right angle with the hoop plate and in the longitudinal direction of the hoop plate. Furthermore, a slide-guide mechanism for a window regulator which is light and in which play is small when it is slidably moved, comprising the guide rail and a bracket which is slidably guided along the guide rail. The bracket has slide shoes arranged zigzag along the double-bending portion of the guide rail and provided with an oil groove on a side face coming into contact with the double-bending portion, and a guide shoe having a face to guide both side edges of the guide rail secondarily and a fitting member for securing a wire.
Abstract:
A guide assembly for sliding doors oriented over a carpeted area and including a guide member and a shim or shims in which the guide member has spaced, upstanding and integral side walls and a center partition forming channels for guiding overlapping sliding doors and the shim is the same shape as the guide and constructed of various thicknesses for positioning under the guide so that a solid base is provided for the guide and for raising the guide to the level of the carpet.
Abstract:
Device for operating a sliding door comprising an endless chain guided over at least two wheels in a plane parallel to the plane of the door, said chain being provided with at least one catch which can co-operate with at least one abutment connected to the door for opening and/or closing said door. The guiding wheels of the chain being positioned such that the direction of movement of the catch has a relatively large vertical component at the beginning of the movement of the door.
Abstract:
A guide track is divided into upper and lower sections, the lower section having a radius of curvature equal to that of a curved window pane to be guided along the guide track, and the upper section having a radius of curvature which is substantially greater than that of the window pane.
Abstract:
Two or more guide following members fastened to a vehicle body window panel each comprises a plurality of projected slide surfaces in constant sliding engagement with the inner wall of a vertically elongate guide channel mounted on a vehicle body. The window panel is connected to the guide following member by means of a shaft carrying a ball joint.
Abstract:
A door with electro-mechanical operating means has a height substantially equal to half the height of the opening to be closed. Two elbowed guide rails are situated on either side of the opening and made fast with the door frame, and two pairs of guide devices are provided on either side and quite close to the lower and upper extremities of the lower panel. A winding device constituted by a winding drum is driven by a motor and reduction gearing or a hydraulic or pneumatic element, and a strap or linkage connects the lower extremity of the lower panel, on each side of the opening, to the winding element. A device for couples the two panels of the door, and the operating means are controlled by a tumbler change-over switch.
Abstract:
A TRACK SUSPENDED SLIDING DOOR ASSEMBLY COMPRISING AN OVERHEAD TRACK HAVING A PLURALITY OF RECESSES ALONG ONE MEMBER THEREOF FOR SLIDABLY RECEIVING A LIKE NUMBER OF BEVELED WHEELS AS THE DOOR MOVES INWARDLY AND DOWNWARDLY SO AS TO SEAL THE MARGINALLY ADHERED DOOR GASKET AGAINST THE WALL AND FLOOR SURFACES ADJACENT THE DOOR OPENING. THE DOOR INCLUDES AN ELONGATED INVERTED V COEXTENDING WITH THE BOTTOM EDGE THEREOF TO SLIDABLY ENGAGE A PLURALITY OF SUBJACENT GUIDES WHICH AID IN MOVING THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DORR DOWNWARDLY AND INWARDLY, OBVIATING THE CLOSED DOOR FROM SWINGING AWAY FROM THE WALL.
