Abstract:
A push-out style window assembly including window hardware for frictionally retaining an open position of the window under typical loading conditions. A push-out style window assembly generally includes a friction hinge assembly including a track, a sash arm, a support arm, and a friction arm. The friction arm can include an adjustable and/or detachable slide enabling adjustment of a frictional resistance between the friction slider and the support arm. Using the friction arm, frictional resistance is provided so as to provide control both during opening of the window and in retaining the position of an open window.
Abstract:
A hinge having the function of auto-shutting, it is formed on a rotation axle thereof a pair of engaging structures being of different sizes, being composed of a pair of protrusions and a pair of detents as well as being at mutual symmetrical positions separated 180° away on contact surfaces of a positioning device including a positioning block and a positioning piece, in order that a foldable electronic product connected with the hinge is able to shut automatically when in folding. And a pair of protruding stubs and recess holes are provided at the two lateral sides of the smaller protrusion and the smaller detent of the engaging structures, in order to prevent the smaller protrusion from falling into the larger detent when the foldable electronic product is opened.

A drive connection (3) is provided for producing the driving force or driving torque of the drive motor (1) and a brake connection (4) is provided for producing the braking force or braking torque of the braking means (2).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a buffer hinge. More particularly, the return spring is used to automatically open and close the door, and one end of the axis with a corresponding rotation is affixed with the buffer component with multiple convexes. The buffer component is positioned into the buffer container of the positioning component at one end of the positioning return spring. Moreover, the buffer container has multiple concaves for embedding the convexes of the buffer component. Therefore, when the angle for opening the door is larger, the return torque produced from the return spring has a greater increase. However, when the embedding number between the convexes and the concaves is relatively increased, the buffer resistance between the two is also larger. On the contrary, when the angle for closing the door is smaller, the return torque produced from the return spring has a smaller decrease. When the embedding number between the convexes and the concaves is relatively decreased, the buffer resistance between the two is also smaller. Therefore, the door does not act fast or slowly while opening and closing, and the impact between the door and the door socket will be minimized.
Abstract:
A magneto-rheological clutch assembly for use in an electromechanical system. The clutch assembly includes a motor having a shaft that is coupled to a magneto-rheological clutch. There is also included a gear plate that is attached to the clutch, as well as being connected to a contact plate and pinion gear. The pinion gear engages a corresponding connection of a power operator system. The magneto-rheological clutch prevents damage to the motor power operator system and panel by simulating a slipping condition when a load exceeding a specified tolerance is applied to the panel.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door brake which has an opening end stop and which is integrated in a hinge. The hinge is comprised of two hinge halves which are interconnected in a jointed manner by means of a hinge pin. Said hinge halves can alternately engage with one of both door assembly parts, the door, or the door pillar. The hinge pin is connected to the first hinge half in a rotationally fixed manner and is accommodated in the hinge eye of the first hinge half in a rotational manner. In addition, the door brake comprises at least one engaging part which is supported against one of the hinge halves, and has at least one braking or stopping part. Said braking or stopping part is assigned to the engaging part and is supported against the other hinge half. The aim of the invention is to produce a door brake having a reduced number of individual parts and to obtain a smallest possible construction in which the application of high brake forces rise in an increasing manner over the door opening angle. To this end, the door brake is collectively comprised of at least one engaging part and of at least one braking surface. Said engaging part is radially aligned in relation to the hinge axis, is connected to one of the hinge halves in a rotationally fixed manner, and can be elastically deformed in a plane which is parallel to the hinge axis. Said braking surface is configured on the hinge pin and is limited by an end stop. The at least one braking surface which is configured on the hinge pin and which interacts with the engaging part slopes upward in the direction of the hinge axis.
Abstract:
A vehicle sliding door opening/closing control device comprises a control unit for outputting a standby signal and shifting into a standby mode when for a predetermined time there has been no user-operation input for causing a vehicle sliding door driven by a motor to be open/close-driven and shifting into an operating mode and performing control of the motor when there has been a user-operation input and a switch unit for shorting power input terminals of the motor on the basis of the standby signal. When there has been no user-operation input for causing the sliding door to be open/close-driven for a predetermined time, by shifting into a standby mode the power consumption of the control unit can be kept small and as a result it is possible to suppress the battery power consumption of the control unit. Also, in the standby mode, by shorting the power input terminals of the motor it is possible to keep the motor in a locked state and thereby apply braking to the sliding door. Therefore, when the vehicle has been stopped or parked on sloping ground such as an upward slope or a downward slope, it is possible to prevent the sliding door from starting to move under its own weight when it is half-open.
Abstract:
A closing control and opening free assembly for a hinge connection is mounted within various articles of furniture or implements. The assembly has a mounting element having a circular hole, a pivot member or rotor disk connected therewith, the circumference of which gets into contact with the inside surface of the circular hole, one or more pair of spring and roller positioned in each of recess formed on the periphery of the circular hole or the pivot member, and a brake component. When opening a rotatable section upward, the pivot can rotate together with the brake component, and thus it is possible to open freely the rotatable section. When closing the rotatable section downward, the pivot can not rotate with the brake component. Consequently, the rotatable section is rested at a desired turning position.
Abstract:
An adjustable speed gas spring primarily adapted for use has a part of a door closing mechanism. The gas spring includes a piston assembly which is disposed within an elongated fluid chamber and which upon relative rotation of the shaft with respect to the tubular body, permits the user to adjust the shaft extension velocity. The gas spring is fully functional in any shaft orientation.
