ARRESTING SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE DOOR
Disclosed is an arresting system for arresting a swivel motion between two swivel-mounted elements, including a brake rod connected to the first element, an arresting device on the second element with a housing, through which the brake rod extends, in which case the arresting device has a drive and at least one brake-shoe element that can be moved via the drive relative to the brake rod. The brake-shoe element is inside the housing and engageable with the brake rod upon exertion of a braking force. Included are a sensor, and an electronic device controlling braking force exerted by the brake-shoe element on the brake rod depending on the signals from the sensor. The drive is an electric motor driving in rotation an actuation element that, to produce the relative motion between the brake-shoe element and the brake rod, has an actuation cam acting on the brake-shoe element.
Door stop mechanism
A door stop mechanism having a) a bracket housing configured to be mounted to a frame; and b) a swivel stop rotationally affixed to the bracket housing and able to rotate between a retracted position and an extended position; wherein in the extended position, the swivel stop is configured to be partially wedged between the frame and a door stile to maintain a door in an open position; and wherein in the retracted position, the swivel stop is configured to retract into the bracket housing and allow the door to be in a closed position.
Vehicle with a device for manually and/or electromotively adjusting a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body
A vehicle door arranged on a vehicle body and a device for manually and/or electromotively adjusting the vehicle door relative to the vehicle body including an output element moved on adjustment of the vehicle door and a switching device configured to switch between a coupling state and a freewheeling state, and a control device. The switching device configured to couple the output element to a further assembly in the coupling state and to disengage it from the further assembly in the freewheeling state such that the output element is movable with respect to the further assembly. At least one sensor device configured to detect a signal indicating an occupant's wish to get out of the vehicle, and configured to evaluate the signal for detecting an exit wish and actuate the switching device to switch into the coupling state.
Door control device
A door control device stops a door such that the door does not come into contact with an obstacle existing in a rotation range of the door. The door control device includes: a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance from the door to the obstacle; a speed calculation unit configured to calculate an actual speed of the door; a braking force setting unit configured to set a braking condition indicating transition of a braking force applied to the door; a speed estimation unit configured to estimate transition of an estimated speed of the door from start of braking until the door stops; and a braking force correction unit configured, during braking, to correct a braking force such that the braking force is increased, or reduced, when a time gradient of the actual speed is gentler than, or steeper than, that of the estimated speed.
Vehicle door device
A vehicle door device includes: a braking control unit applying a braking force to a swing door of a vehicle by controlling an operation of a braking device; and an action position detection unit detecting an action position of the swing door. The braking control unit sets a strong opening prevention boundary on a closing direction side from a fully open position as a mechanical opening action limit of the swing door and applies a braking force to the swing door that opens on an opening direction side from the strong opening prevention boundary.
OVEN
An oven includes an oven body, a heating element, a frame, and an oven door. The oven body has an inner space inside and includes a front plate, wherein the front plate has an entrance that communicates with the inner space. The heating element is adapted to heat the inner space. The frame is engaged with the oven body and has an abutted portion. The oven door is pivotally connected to the oven body and is located at the entrance. The oven door could pivot to a close position to close the entrance and could pivot downward to an open position from the close position to open the entrance. When the oven door is located at the open position, the second surface abuts against the abutted portion of the frame, thereby forming a platform outside the entrance for placing objects.
Vehicle door apparatus to restrict opening of a door
A vehicle door apparatus includes: a moving object detector configured to detect a moving object approaching a door of a vehicle; a door opening operation detector configured to detect a door opening operation performed by an occupant in the vehicle; a door opening restriction unit configured to restrict opening of the door by the door opening operation when detecting approach of the moving object; and a door opening permission unit configured to permit opening of the door by the door opening operation when the door opening operation is detected a predetermined number of times in a state in which the opening of the door is restricted.
ROTARY DOOR STOP
The present disclosure provides a rotary door stop. The rotary door stop includes a door stop rotation base and a door stop body. The door stop body rotates about the door stop rotation base to define a locked state or an unlocked state. By engagement between a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the rotary door stop is retained in the locked state for ease of door closing; and when the rotary door stop approaches a door frame, retention of the unlocked state may also be released while the door is closed.
Apparatus and method for controlling door opening
A door opening control apparatus and a door opening control method thereof are provided. The door opening control apparatus includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding obstacle based on sensor recognition information received from a plurality of sensors, a determiner configured to calculate a maximum opening angle of a door for preventing collision with the recognized surrounding obstacle and to determine a risk of collision between the door and the surrounding obstacle based on the calculated maximum opening angle, and a controller configured to control an opening angle of the door to prevent the door from colliding with the surrounding obstacle when determining that the risk of collision is present.
Hinge locking device
A hinge locking device for a door includes a mounting plate defining an upper plate end and a lower plate end, a plate slot extending into the mounting plate at the lower plate end, the plate slot configured to receive a hinge plate of a door hinge assembly therethrough; a reinforcement gusset affixed to the mounting plate and defining a gusset recess aligned with the plate slot; and a barrel channel defined between the gusset recess and the mounting plate, the plate slot allowing lateral access to the barrel channel, the barrel channel configured to receive a hinge barrel of the door hinge assembly.
