A system for managing opening and closing a pocket door includes a spindle, an actuator, and brackets. The spindle extends along a longitudinal axis between first and second ends, and is configured to be coupled to the pocket door. The actuator is coupled to the spindle and is configured to cause the spindle to move axially along the longitudinal axis. The brackets are connected to the spindle at each end and are constrained from longitudinal motion relative to the spindle. The brackets are configured to affix the spindle to the pocket door. A bushing system couples each bracket to the spindle and is configured to dampen impact between the spindle and the brackets. For example, the bushing system may include lobed elements, made of a rubber material, that engage each other to transmit azimuthal forces. In some embodiments, another actuator is included to improve cycle like and redundancy.

A harvesting machine includes a chassis, a ground-engaging mechanism for supporting the chassis, and a tank assembly mounted to the chassis for storing a crop material. The tank assembly includes a retractable door for at least partially covering an opening formed in a top of the tank assembly. A mobile sensor assembly includes a rod and a sensor for detecting a weather condition, such that the rod includes a first end coupled to the retractable door and a second end to which the sensor is coupled. The retractable door is operably moved between an open position and a closed position, and the mobile sensor assembly is rotatably moved between a deployed position and a stowed position as the door is moved between the open and closed positions, respectively.

A non-contact, automatic door hinge operator system that allows a common door to be opened and closed automatically through use of a voice-activated sensor, optical switch or mobile app.

The present invention relates to a sectional door operator system (1) for opening and closing an opening (2), comprising a door frame (3) comprising a first frame section (4) at a first side (5) of the opening (2) and a second frame section (6) at a second side (7) of the opening (2), a door (8) arranged to be moved between an open (0) and closed (C) position and comprising a plurality of horizontal and interconnected sections (9) connected to the door frame (3) at least a drive unit (10) mounted on a first section (9) of the plurality of sections (9), wherein the drive unit (10) is moveably connected to the first frame section (4) and the drive unit (10) is moveably connected to the second frame section (6), the drive unit (10) comprise at least one motor (11) connected to at least one battery (12) arranged to power the at least one motor (11), and the drive unit (10) is arranged to move the door (8) from the closed position (C) to the open position (0).

A door operator and a method for set-up of the door operator to operate a door leaf of a door set, with the door operator including a control unit, a drive unit, and a user interface, include the steps of receiving a set of set-up parameters for the door operator, installing the set of set-up parameters in the control unit, controlling the drive unit based on the set of set-up parameters installed in the control unit, and sending the set of set-up parameters to a remote server via a communication network for storing a backup of the set of set-up parameters on the remote server.

A vehicle door system includes a vehicle door and electrically-powered linear and rotary actuators. The vehicle door system also includes a pinch sensor. Upon receiving an open door command, a controller actuates the linear actuator and then actuates the rotary actuator to open the door. The controller also actuates the linear actuator to prevent closing of the door if the pinch-sensor detects an object in a door opening. The controller actuates the rotary actuator to close the door upon receiving a close door command.

This application provides a vertical sliding window, including horizontal frame side edges, vertical frame side edges, and an opening sash, wherein the opening sash slides up and down along a guide rail on the vertical frame side edge. In addition, the vertical sliding window further includes a balance weight device and a balance weight traction cable. The balance weight device includes an enclosure, a rotating shaft partially disposed within the enclosure, a spiral spring whose two ends are respectively fixedly connected to an inner wall of the enclosure and the rotating shaft, and a cone pulley fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, wherein a tapered surface of the cone pulley is provided with a spiral groove. A lower end of the balance weight traction cable is fixedly connected to the opening sash, and an upper end thereof is fixedly connected to the cone pulley. When the opening sash moves from bottom to top, an elastic deformational force generated by the spiral spring enables the balance weight traction cable to be gradually wound into the spiral groove, and the elastic deformational force of the spiral spring is gradually reduced. Due to a mutual conversion between elastic potential energy of the spiral spring and gravitational potential energy of the opening sash, in the vertical sliding window provided in this application, an external acting force for dragging the opening sash to move up and down as well as energy consumption may be reduced.

An apparatus comprising a baseplate configured to be coupled to a door configured to be positioned in an open door position, a closed door position, and a plurality of door positions in between the open position and closed position; a motor; a circuitry electrically coupled to the motor and configured to be in communication with a remote computing device; at least one proximity sensor electrically coupled to the circuitry and configured to determine the door position with respect to a door frame; a drive wheel coupled to the motor and the circuitry, the drive wheel comprising an external surface, the external surface of the drive wheel configured to rotatably contact a ground surface; and wherein the motor is configured to be remotely activated by the remote computing device to engage the drive wheel to rotatably contact the ground surface to reposition the door responsive to receipt of a signal.

A sliding golf cart windshield assembly includes a first elongated rail having a top end and a bottom end, and a second elongated rail spaced apart from the first elongated rail and having a top end and a bottom end. An upper windshield pane has a first longitudinal edge and an opposing second longitudinal edge, where the upper windshield pane is positioned between the first and second elongated rails. In addition, the assembly includes a first upper plate secured to the first longitudinal edge of the upper windshield pane and being slidable within the first elongated rail, a first lower hub coupled to the bottom end of the first elongated rail, and a first belt having a first end first end fixed to the top end of the first elongated rail and passes around the first lower hub to the second end that is fixed to the first upper plate.

A large diameter portion is provided on one side of a closing side drum in an axial direction, a small diameter portion having a diameter gradually decreasing from the large diameter portion to the other side of the closing side drum is provided on the other side of the closing side drum, a partition wall disposed between adjacent small diameter cable grooves in the axial direction of the closing side drum to prevent a closing side cable from slipping out of the small diameter cable grooves is provided in the small diameter portion. Accordingly, the thick partition wall provided in the small diameter portion can reliably prevent the closing side cable from slipping out (derailing) from the small diameter cable grooves even when a winding position of the closing side cable on the closing side drum is changed and transferred from the large diameter portion to the small diameter portion.
