Abstract: A counterbalance mechanism includes a first attachment strap that is fixedly attached to a body structure. An intermediate link is rotatably attached to the first attachment strap and rotatable about a winding axis relative to the first attachment strap. A first end of a second attachment strap is rotatably attached to a moveable panel. A second end of the second attachment strap is rotatably attached to the intermediate link, with the second attachment strap and the intermediate link rotatable relative to each other about a link axis. A spiral spring interconnects the first attachment strap and the intermediate link. The spiral spring biases the intermediate link about the winding axis to rotate the intermediate link and the second attachment strap relative to each other about the link axis, in a scissor-like motion, to rotate the panel relative to the body structure.

Abstract: A window balance assembly may include a carrier, a spring element, and a mounting bracket. The spring element may include first and second portions. The first portion may be coupled to the carrier. The mounting bracket may engage the second portion of the spring element and may selectively engage the carrier. The mounting bracket may include a first mounting surface disposed at a non-perpendicular angle relative to an exterior surface of carrier when the window balance assembly is in an uninstalled configuration. The first mounting surface may be substantially parallel to the exterior surface of the carrier when the window balance assembly is in an installed configuration and the mounting bracket is disengaged from the carrier.

Abstract: A hinge mechanism for motor vehicle includes a base having two parallelly extended brackets; a supporting arm having a proximal end located between the two brackets and provided with a shaft hole having a diametrically extended stop rib; a pivot shaft extended through the two brackets with a longitudinally slotted end engaged with the stop rib on the supporting arm; a restoring spring located outside one of the two brackets to connect at two ends to the base and the pivot shaft to deform when the pivot shaft is rotated and thereby produces an elastic restoring force; and a damper located outside the other bracket to connect to the slotted end of the pivot shaft and form a resistance to the rotating pivot shaft, so that a saddle or a trunk lid connected to the supporting arm may be pivotally lifted and closed at a moderate speed.

Abstract: A door closer includes a housing having one or more bulges, a shaft rotatably received in the housing and having an axle, and one or more resilient rings engaged between the shaft and the housing. The bulges of the housing may be engaged with the resilient rings for preventing the shaft from moving axially relative to the housing. An adjustable spring biasing device may apply a spring biasing force between the housing and the shaft for recovering the shaft relative to the housing. One or more spring biased projections may limit the movement between the shaft and the housing.

Abstract: One end of a connection wire is connected to a rear vehicle door which can be popped up by an urging force from a user. An apparatus for maintaining the position of the upwardly swinging rear door once it is opened at a desired angle includes a pulley for receiving the other end of the connection wire wound around it. A power spring urges the pulley in a connection wire-winding direction. A one-way clutch includes a rotatable outer ring with an input shaft at the center thereof. The input shaft is connected to the pulley. The input shaft is also connected to the outer ring through multiple rollers interposed between the outer ring and the input shaft so that the pulley is allowed to rotate in the connection wire-winding direction. In maintaining the upwardly swinging rear door at a desired angle once it is opened, a solenoid is energized to move a stopper into an engaging groove on the periphery of the outer ring. When the stopper engages the engaging groove, the rotation of the outer ring is restricted. In opening or closing the rear door, the solenoid is de-energized to disengage the stopper from the engaging groove. Consequently, the outer ring is allowed to rotate freely.

Abstract: For self-closing a sliding door, e.g. of a showcase, combinations of belts and sprockets, cables and pulleys, rods and springs and the like, which have proved difficult to construct, service and replace are replaced by one or more constant force springs associated with a spring-retention cavity or other spring retainer. This permits the doors to be easily removed for servicing and for improved access to the interior of the showcase. Upon door removal, no self-closing apparatus still links the door to the case. The parts are simple and easy to replace, few moving parts are involved and the system is applicable both for new construction and for retrofitting to existing cases.

Abstract: 1,234,990. Door operating mechanism. G. SMAL. 25 July, 1968 [9 Aug., 1967], No. 35486/68. Heading E2M. A door (e.g. an up-and-over door 1 of the type having rollers 2 which run in horizontal guide rails 3 and 4, and rollers 5 which run in vertical guide rails 6 and 7) is joined by a connecting member 10 to a slide 9 which is slidable in a guide rail 8. A motor 18 drives an endless screw 16 (Fig. 5a not shown) which winds a band 14 on to a drum 19. Rigidly attached to the band is a block 13 having a projection 12 which engages with the projection 28 of resilient stop means 11 mounted on the slide 9, continued winding in of the band 14 thus opening the door. When the door is fully opened, the slide 9 abuts against a stop (29, not shown), the projection 12 depresses the projection 28 and the band moves on until the block 13 contacts a lever 31 (Fig. 5a, not shown) which stops the motor. A lock 34 is provided to hold the door closed.
