A dual-voltage door operator control system comprises a contactor, a high-voltage connector, a low-voltage connector, a rectifier and a brake. When a door operator motor is electrically coupled to the low-voltage connector, the rectifier full-wave rectifies an external power source and then electrically energizes the brake. When the door operator motor is electrically coupled to the high-voltage connector, the rectifier half-wave rectifies the external power source and then electrically energizes the brake. Accordingly, the door operator motor can be connected to the high-voltage connector or the low-voltage connector according to the specification of the external power source provided at the site. Moreover, the invention is also further integrated with the brake of a single specification, and no matter whether the external power source is a high-voltage power source or a low-voltage power source, it can electrically energize the brake through the rectifier.

The invention is based on a closure device for a charging or tank flap of an automotive vehicle, comprising a flap element, comprising a drive unit including an electrical actuator for traversing the flap element between a closed position and an open position and a guide unit disposed within a body of the automotive vehicle, wherein the guide unit includes two guide rails extending in parallel to one another and two carriages arranged to be traversable on the guide rails, on which the flap element is arranged.

The drive unit may include at least one gear unit for the synchronous transmission, to both carriages, of a drive movement generated by the actuator.

A pneumatically actuated gate assembly, and a kit for making the assembly are provided. The assembly comprising: a gate with an at least one hinge; a battery; a compressed gas cylinder; a first support pivotally supporting the gate with the hinges; a second support; a latch movably mounted on the gate; a keeper for releasable engagement with the latch, the keeper mounted on the second support; a compressed gas system in fluid communication with the compressed gas cylinder; a gate pneumatic system in fluid communication with the compressed gas system, and including a gate pneumatic ram pivotally attached to the first support at a proximal end and attached to the gate at a distal end; a latch pneumatic system in fluid communication with the compressed gas system, and including a latch pneumatic ram attached to the gate and the latch; and a controller, wherein the compressed gas system is configured to provide a controllable pressure of gas to the gate pneumatic system and the latch pneumatic system under control of the controller. A method of using the assembly is also provided.

A storage compartment including a roll top, which is trapezoidal from the front, and pivotable panels disposed next to the roll top. The panels are driven mechanically by way of radial cams, which are rotationally fixed to drive wheels around which the roll top runs.

Door operator systems include the use of an adaptor. The adaptor may be utilized to operatively couple separate door operator assemblies together in a double door operator system. The adaptor includes control components (e.g., switches, buttons, toggles, or levers) that are used to turn the door operator system on and off. While the adaptor may be used to operatively couple two separate door operator assemblies together to form a double door operator system, the adaptor may also be used within a single door operator system. Furthermore, with respect to double door operator systems, the system may also utilize a back plate assembly formed from two or more separate back plates (e.g., two or more back plate portions).

A motor vehicle device includes a movable windowpane, which can be moved into a first end position, and an actuation mechanism having a touch-sensitive surface and by which a sliding movement of an operating element on the surface can be detected. The actuation mechanism cooperates with a drive of the windowpane in such a way that the windowpane is moved into the first end position when a sliding movement occurring at least in part in a predetermined first movement direction is detected.
