Abstract: A method and system for controlling the descent of a moveable element pivotally attached to a rigid structure. The moveable element is pivotally attached to the rigid structure, and is then pivotally connected to a compressible strut, which is attached to a linkage pivotally connected to the rigid structure. The descent of the moveable element is pivotally controlled using a microcontroller and a motor attached to the linkage, and the control path for the linkage is selected based on a comparison of the angle between the linkage and the rigid structure and the angle between the moveable element and the rigid structure.

Abstract: A power-operated system for actuating the rear doors or liftgates of motor vehicles is disclosed. The system includes a strut assembly having two struts, each strut mounted on one side of the door between the door and the vehicle's door frame. One end of each strut is connected to a powered rotating arm. To open the door, the rotating arms change the angular orientation of the struts such that they have a substantial mechanical advantage. In this position, the force provided by the struts overcomes the weight bias of the door, thus opening the door. To close the door, the rotating arms change the angular orientation of the struts such that the struts have a decreased mechanical advantage, reducing the force provided by the struts, and therefore causing the door to fall closed under its own weight bias. A control system for controlling the power-operated system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A four bar link is provided between a walled cargo area of a truck and a rigid rear cargo door. The effective length of the lower link of the four bar linkage is longer than that of the upper link such that the motion of the door is generally up and over the top of the truck body. An eccentric cam is joined to the upper link with a tensioned spring extending around the cam such that the spring slackens as the door opens. The cam is configured so that, as the door is opened, the spring slackens more slowly initially then more quickly. This allows the door to be moved initially mostly outwardly before moving significantly upwardly and still be effectively counterbalanced throughout its motion.

Abstract: A driving motor (1) for an actuating drive having improved jamming protection of a closing part, e.g., a window pane (2) of a motor vehicle. The closing part is adjusted via a transmission, e.g., a cable drive drum (3, 4). To avoid over-dimensioning of the driving motor (1), a variable transmission is provided that delivers a substantially constant load on the driving motor (1) over the entire adjustment path of the window pane (2). Thereby, a design of the driving motor (1) to cope with an increased load, which would otherwise be caused when the closing part slides into a closed position, is avoided. In addition, since the closing part approaches the closed position with a lower speed, the closing part is able to brake rapidly, if necessary. This results, e.g., in an improved jamming protection function of the closing part.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pivot-hung door drive system with an electro-mechanical device that supplies the closing moment required for the opening and closing of the door, comprising a transmission which varies its translation ratio over the angle of rotation of the door, a guide that is connected with an output shaft and a driver roller that can execute a translation movement relative to the guide and in the guide, which driver roller is connected with a pinion that is engaged with a toothed rack that is connected with the spring system, whereby the axis of rotation of the output shaft is at a defined distance from the axis of rotation of the pinion, and the axis of rotation of the driver roller is at a defined distance from the axis of rotation of the pinion, such that when the output shaft and pinion are rotated, the translation ratio changes as a result of the changing axial distance between the output shaft and the driver roller.

Abstract: A door closer includes a casing-like body enclosing a piston member, which is movable back and forth according to the movements of a door and is in cooperation with at least one closer spring, and a closer shaft and a pinion member connected thereto for transmitting the force of the movement of the door to the piston member. The pinion member is mounted on the closer shaft eccentrically with respect to its rolling curve. The piston member is casing-like and is provided with a toothing arranged at its inner surface. The rolling curve of the piston's toothing is at least substantially linear and is inclined relative to the axis of movement of the piston member. The pinion member is located inside the piston member in cooperation with the toothing of the piston member so that the force transmission moment of the pinion member is at its maximum in a position corresponding to the closed position of the door.

Abstract: An overhead door system employs counterweights which operate through cables connected to a drum which tapers from one end to the other so that the effective force acting on the door in the opening direction is reduced as the proportion of the weight of the door to be supported reduces. The system is adjustable readily to accommodate different types of doors having different opening characteristics in terms of the proportion of the doors weight that must be counterbalanced at different stages of the door opening movement. The drum has a pair of continuous grooves extending side-by-side throughout its length, the counterweight being independently supported by each of a pair of cables laid in these grooves.

The system may further comprise one or both of a second biasing force transmission connected intermediately of the variable rate of movement transmission part and the window sash and the like, for increasing the effective range of movement of the biasing spring; and, an adjuster for changing the effective magnitude of the biasing force throughout the operating range.
