Abstract:
The device (2), which is used to lock running gear (1) guided in a rail (5) and is or can be connected to the latter, has a body (21, 22) in which a locking pin (23) is displaceably mounted and, by means of a resilient element (24), is held resiliently in a first position, so that the locking pin (23) can be brought by the action of a force from the first position, in which it can engage in a locking element (36, 53) provided in the rail (5) or connected to the rail (5), into a second position, in which it is released from the engagement in the locking element (36, 53). The locking device (2), which is constructed simply and cost-effectively, therefore permits dividing elements (90), such as sliding doors, sliding counters or folding walls, which are guided by the running gear (1), to be closed off securely.
Abstract:
A vehicle door window-lift comprises a guide rail for a slider supporting a window capable of being driven by a cable and a dowel pin for automatically fixing the slider on the window. The dowel pin is adapted to slide in a bore in the slider and in a hole in the window. Two ramps on the guide rail cause the dowel pin to slide automatically from a delivery position wherein it is not inserted in the hole, into an operative position wherein it penetrates in the window hole and locks the slider on the window. The two ramps are inclined relative to an axis of the dowel pin such that when the slider moves along the rail, the slider causes the dowel pin to be thrust by one of the ramps from its delivery position towards its operative position wherein it penetrates into the window hole and locks the slider on the window. The arrangement avoids providing locking by deformation of a plastic part.
Abstract:
The suspension device which serves to connect a door element (2) to a running mechanism (6) guided in a rail (4) has a securing means (30) which can be connected to the door element (2), and a connecting screw (10) which is provided with a screw head (11) and a shank (12-15), can be fitted into the securing means (30) and screwed into a threaded drill-hole (9) provided in the running mechanism (6). The securing means (30) has two wing elements (32a, 32b) which can be connected to the door element (2) and which are connected by a central piece (33) which is provided with a recess (34) and is bent upward relative to the wing elements (32a, 32b) in such a manner that, after the securing means (30) is installed, the screw head (11) can be guided through under the central piece (33), so that the shank (12-15) can be introduced into the recess (34), which is adjoined by a collar (35) serving to hold the screw head (11). The suspension device, which can be produced cost-effectively and fitted and adjusted with little outlay, only requires a little space, so that the door element (2) can be fitted at a small distance from the running mechanism (6) and rail (4).
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. Rubber stoppers 184 are mounted on the pulley shafts 182, to limit the falling distance of the glass rising and falling body 162.
Abstract:
A running carriage (1) includes a support piece (27) connected to the roller carrier (25) in an articulated manner. The support piece (27) is preferably injection molded as a single piece. Using an adjusting and displacing bolt (41) screwed into the support piece (27), the mutual angular position of the support piece (27) and the roller carrier (25) can be adjusted and displaced.
Abstract:
A combined sliding and pivot window assembly including a plurality of sashes separately pivotally mounted on substantially C-shaped sash support frames that are slidably fixed on rails provided on an outer window frame. The window assembly includes combined sliding and locking mechanisms that allow the C-shaped sash support frames to slide on the rails when the sashes are pivotally closed, or to be locked on the rails when the sashes are pivotally opened, or to be pushed to one side in the outer window frame while allowing all the sashes to be pivotally opened; pivot mechanisms that allow the sashes to be pivotally opened and stay at any desired open position relative to the sash support frames; and elastic two-end locking mechanisms that are mounted in a vertical member of the sashes to lock the sashes at upper and lower ends to the sash support frames simply by laterally shifting an external adjusting key of the two-end locking mechanism. The combined sliding and pivot window assembly is therefore safer and more convenient for use.
Abstract:
A running carriage arrangement (1) includes a housing receptacle (5) and a housing (9) embedded in it. The running carriage (7) can be vertically shifted within the housing (9). The shifting of the running carriage (7) is accomplished by an adjusting wheel (39), which can be rotated by hand and by which the running carriage (7) can be adjusted relative to the housing (9) and the sliding door (3).
Abstract:
Apparatus for use in mounting a door on an overhead track comprising a carriage assembly constructed and arranged to be moved horizontally along the track in such a way as to limit upward movement thereof, and a door mounted assembly constructed and arranged to be mounted on an upper edge of the door so as to be moved with the door. The door mounted assembly is movable with the door (1) into an initial position wherein a locking member on the carriage assembly is in an initial vertically aligned position with respect to a locking member receiving opening on the door mounted assembly and (2) from the initial position upwardly with a snap action into a locking position wherein the locking member is in a locking position within the opening. A releasing member on the door mounted assembly is operable when the locking member is in locked relation within the opening to be moved from a normal operative position into a releasing position thereof to enable the door mounted assembly to move downwardly with the door into released relation with respect to the carriage assembly.
Abstract:
A lock assembly, for a door panel of a transit vehicle, has its locking action directly driven by the door operator into which it is incorporated. The locking assembly holds the door panel in a closed position through direct contact with the door panel, providing improved reliability by bypassing intermediate components of the door operator.
Abstract:
An adjustable roller assembly for sliding doors including a housing adapted to be snap-fit into a recess provided in the upper or lower surface of a door frame, the housing defining a cavity which is open at the lower end. A roller carrier is mounted in the housing cavity and is vertically biased outwardly by one or more coil springs. Rotatably mounted within the roller carrier is a roller adopted to travel along a track. A base plate is disposed within the housing and is connected to a rack member. The rack member is provided with teeth which engage and cooperate with the gear teeth of an adjustment gear extending laterally through both sides of the housing. An engagement slot, adapted to receive a screwdriver or similar tool, is provided in at least one end of the adjustment gear. Vertical adjustment of the base plate may be achieved by rotating the adjustment gear, which vertically moves the rack member and its connected base plate. The position of the base plate within the housing limits the upward vertical movement of the roller carrier and roller. In the lower position, the base plate is located so as to virtually eliminate any travel or upward movement of the roller carrier and roller. In the upper position, the location of the base plate allows for maximum travel of the roller carrier and roller. The roller assembly can be adjusted after the sliding door is positioned on the track to eliminate or reduce slack and prevent door derailment.
