An open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening in a roof part, comprising a panel, and a first device for moving the rear side of the panel towards a raised position relative to the closed position and above an adjoining roof part. The control slide and the lifting member are guided by a guide rail having grooves and extending in longitudinal direction alongside the opening and below the adjoining roof part. A support lever cooperates with the control slide and supports the panel in positions in which it is above the adjoining roof part. The support lever is guided in the guide rail and is adapted to also pass through the passage opening. The support lever takes over support of the panel from an intermediate guide connection of the lifting lever and the intermediate guide connection is then disengaged from the guide curve in the control slide.

The invention relates to an automatic door system including a first door leaf of a first door leaf arrangement that can be displaced in the longitudinal direction. A floor-side guide rail arrangement extends in the longitudinal direction and includes a first floor rail arrangement. The at least one first door leaf includes an engagement element which is arranged on an underside of the at least one first door leaf. The at least one first floor rail arrangement includes at least one first floor rail and at least one connection and/or functional element, wherein the at least one connection and/or functional element is arranged on an end side of the at least one first floor rail. The at least one first floor rail includes at least one first guide groove extending in the longitudinal direction. The at least one engagement element of the at least one first door leaf of the at least one first door leaf arrangement is inserted into the at least one first guide groove and is guided in the longitudinal direction by the at least one first guide groove.

A vehicle door opening and closing apparatus includes a vehicle door, a rail mounted on a vehicle body having a door aperture, a roller unit mounted on the vehicle door and configured to move along the rail and to allow the vehicle door to open and close in a sliding mode and in a swing mode, a sliding guide extending from a rear edge of the door aperture and extending straightly in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, a swing guide bent from the sliding guide toward an interior of the vehicle body, a center roller unit mounted on the vehicle door and guided along the sliding guide and the swing guide, and a variable stopper mechanism covering an exterior-side opening of the swing guide in the sliding mode and uncovering the exterior-side opening of the swing guide in the swing mode.

The present invention relates to a floor pit covering system comprising a cover plate (1) and a pivoting system (2). The pivoting system (2) is adapted for arranging the cover plate (1) in a first end position (P1) or in a second end position (P2) in response to an internal force (FI), or an internal force (FI) and an external force (FE), being applied onto the cover plate (1). The cover plate (1) is arranged in the first end position (P1) when force FE≤FI and in the second end position (P2) when force FE>FI. The present invention further relates to a method of operating such a system.

Apparatuses, such as shower door frame kits, for installing sliding shower door assemblies are provided. The apparatuses enable secure and convenient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies, while keeping water that may escape a shower area to a minimum. The apparatuses of the present disclosure also provide for efficient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies that can be completed with a single tool and/or in a single step. The apparatuses for installing sliding shower door assemblies may include one or more of a shower door header, a wall jamb, a shower header retainer, a shower door catcher, a roller assembly, a corner bracket, and a shower threshold.
