Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a Cabinet (1) for a recreational vehicle having a main housing with an interior space, a front opening, a left side (5) and a right side (6); and a door (7) configured to seal the front opening. The cabinet (1) further comprises a left hinge mechanism (8) with a left hinge axis (9) and a right hinge mechanism (10) with a right hinge axis (11) to selectively couple the door (7) hinge-wise to the left side (5) or the right side (6) so that the door (7) can either be rotated about the left hinge axis (9) or the right hinge axis (11). The door (7) comprises a left handle (12) which is operably coupled to the left hinge mechanism (8) and the right hinge mechanism (10) so that operating the left handle (12) allows to rotate the door about the right hinge axis (11). The door (7) further comprises a right handle (13) which is operable coupled to the left hinge mechanism (8) and the right hinge mechanism (10) so that operating the right handle (13) allows to rotate the door about the left hinge axis (9). The left hinge mechanism (8) comprises a left locking member (14) separate from the left hinge axis (9) and the right hinge mechanism comprises (10) a right locking member (15) separate from the right hinge axis (11); and the left locking member (14) and the right locking member (15) are in engagement with a blocking element (16). Operating the left handle (12) displaces the blocking element (16) so that the left locking member (14) is disengaged from the blocking element (16), and operating the right handle (13) displaces the blocking element (16) so that the right locking member (15) is disengaged from the blocking element (16).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an alarm siren detector and a method of actuating a locking mechanism on detecting the alarm siren. The alarm detector (10) comprises a locking mechanism (22, 24, 26) comprising a locking arm (26) which is moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position and movement of the locking arm between an unlocking position and a locking position is user operated. The method comprises detecting and sampling environmental sounds with a microphone; comparing the sampled sound with a reference pattern using fuzzy logic to determine whether an alarm is sounding; and if it is determined that an alarm is sounding, releasing the locking mechanism so that the locking arm automatically moves from its locking position to its unlocking position. An application of the invention to a fire door enables it to be held open legally, since the door will close automatically as soon as a fire alarm is triggered.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a window lift arrangement with a lifter (104) for a window pane (106), a door panel (102), positioning means (118, 120) for positioning the lifter (104) relative to the door panel (106) in an installation position for installation of the window pane, wherein the positioning instruments (120) can assume a first and a second position, wherein the positioning instruments (120) in the first position define the installation position and wherein the positioning instruments (120) in the second position release a movement of the lifter (104) for opening and closing the installed window pane (106).
Abstract:
Möbel (4) mit einer Stellarmanordnung (2) für eine Klappe (3) des Möbels (4), wobei die Stellarmanordnung (2) eine Hebelanordnung (5) zum Bewegen der Klappe (3) und eine in Schließrichtung (SR), zum Zuhalten der Klappe (3) wirkende Hauptfeder (7) umfasst und einer am Möbel (4) oder an der Stellarmanordnung (2) angeordneten Ausstoßvorrichtung (6) zum Ausstoßen der Klappe (3) in Öffnungsrichtung (OR) durch Überdrücken der Klappe (3) in Schließrichtung (SR), wobei wenigstens eine in Öffnungsrichtung (OR) wirkende, von der Ausstoßvorrichtung (6) gesonderte Unterstützungsfeder (12) zum Unterstützen der Ausstoßbewegung der Ausstoßvorrichtung (6), wobei zumindest in überdrückter Schließstellung (ÜS) die in Öffnungsrichtung (OR) auf die Klappe (3) wirkenden Federkräfte (A, U) der Ausstoßvorrichtung (6) und der Unterstützungsfeder (12) zusammen größer sind als die auf die Klappe (3) wirkende Zuhaltekraft (Z) der in Schließrichtung (SR) wirkenden Hauptfeder (7).
Abstract:
A vehicle slide door temporary setting jig (10) includes a door position holding mechanism (80) for holding a slide door (70) in a desired angular position relative to a vehicle body (20). The door position holding mechanism has an end extension (81) of one link lever (52) of a linkage (50) projecting beyond an associated link pin (51), an arcuate guide member (83) pivoted to the free end of an attachment frame (30) and configured to define a path of movement of a tip end portion of the end extension as the link lever turns about the link pin, and a resilient member (86) acting between the free end of the attachment frame and the arcuate guide member and resiliently urging the arcuate guide member against the tip end portion of the end extension.
Abstract:
Hinge motion check friction device for incorporating into a hinge assembly useful for holding a hinge open at an selected position. The hinge motion check friction device is useful for incorporating into vehicle door hinges, particularly when the vehicle is being painting during manufacturing.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Getriebeanordnung zum Betätigen, insbesondere zum Öffnen / Schliessen einer Tür, einer Klappe oder eines anderen beweglichen Teiles an einem Kraftfahrzeug, mit einem bezüglich der Karosserie oder dem beweglichen Teil gestellfesten Antriebsmotor (1), dessen Abtrieb (5) mit einer ersten Welle (6) eines Getriebes (2) verbunden ist, deren Drehung auf eine zweite Welle (4) des Getriebes (2) übertragen wird, die mit einem Betätigungsgetriebe (9) verbunden ist, um das bewegliche Teil motorisch zu betätigen, wobei Mittel (10, 11, 13, 20) vorgesehen sind, um das bewegliche Teil auch unabhängig vom Antriebsmotor (1), insbesondere manuell zu betätigen. Wesentlich ist, dass das Getriebe (2) ein Umlaufrädergetriebe (3, 4, 6, 7) ist, dessen dritte Welle (3) gesteuert / geregelt mit dem Gestell (19) gekoppelt ist.
Abstract:
Door closure apparatus comprising a hinge having a first hinge plate for attachment to one upstanding side edge of a door, a second hinge plate for attachment to an upstanding side edge of a doorpost and means for enabling relative rotation between the two hinge plates; and magnetic means comprising a first element which includes a magnet and a second element which includes a keeper plate to which the magnet is attracted; one of the elements of the magnetic means being supported from the second hinge plate and the other of the elements being supported by the first hinge plate or the door, the arrangement being such that the elements of the magnetic means co-operate to or control movement of the door between its open and closed position.
