An exemplary apparatus includes a modular, self-contained spring cage and a spindle. The spring cage includes a housing and a clock spring mounted in the housing, and the clock spring includes a first leg and a second leg. The spindle extends through the spring cage, and is rotatable from a home position about a longitudinal axis in each of a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction. Rotation of the spindle from the home position in the first rotational direction causes pivoting of the first leg while the second leg remains stationary, thereby causing the clock spring to urge the spindle to return to the home position. Rotation of the spindle from the home position in the second rotational direction causes pivoting of the second leg while the first leg remains stationary, thereby causing the clock spring to urge the spindle to return to the home position.

A sliding door structure in which a position where a door side end-section of a vehicle body rail support member is coupled to a door main body being further to a door closing direction side than a center-of-gravity position of a door, and a position of a door side end-section of a door rail support member in a fully open state being further to a door closing direction side than the center-of-gravity position of the door and further to a door opening direction side than a position where the door side end-section of the vehicle body rail support member is coupled to the door main body, and that further includes: an inclination suppressing wall provided at a vehicle body and configured so as to be abutted, from a vehicle lower side, by a reaction force generating section at least in the fully open state.

A thermal door release system is provided that includes a plurality of temperature sensors arranged within multiple environments; a controller; and a release apparatus; wherein the controller, using data from the temperature sensors, monitors the temperatures of the individual environments and when a temperature for an environment reaches a set temperature threshold for that environment, causes an action such as the release apparatus to operate a door to a specified position. The set points and actions to be taken can be set per environment by a user, such that different environments will have different set points. In an embodiment, the system can support staged logic such that at various different user-defined set point temperatures for an environment, specified actions can be taken, for example, sending an email to the facilities manager when the temperature is significantly above normal and closing the door when it reaches a higher set point value.

A locking device for a top of a convertible vehicle is proposed, comprising a locking support (22), a locking hook (28), which can be shifted in a translational and rotational manner so as to be displaced between a release position and a locked position, and a driving mechanism for the locking hook (28), said driving mechanism comprising a driving motor (64) and driving a slide (36) movable on the locking support (22). The slide (36) is connected to a driving section of the locking hook (28) via a pull-link arrangement (46) in such a manner that the locking hook (28) undergoes a pivoting movement when the slide (36) is moved. The locking support (22) has an insert having a guiding track for a guiding element which is arranged on the pull-link arrangement (46) or on the locking hook (28), and the guiding track defines a pivot position of the locking hook (28) with respect to the locking support (22).

A sliding door structure in which a position where a door side end-section of a vehicle body rail support member is coupled to a door main body being further to a door closing direction side than a center-of-gravity position of a door, and a position of a door side end-section of a door rail support member in a fully open state being further to a door closing direction side than the center-of-gravity position of the door and further to a door opening direction side than a position where the door side end-section of the vehicle body rail support member is coupled to the door main body, and that further includes: an inclination suppressing wall provided at a vehicle body and configured so as to be abutted, from a vehicle lower side, by a reaction force generating section at least in the fully open state.

Disclosed is a motor unit including: an electric motor; a motor housing (6) configured to accommodate the electric motor; and a control substrate (70) including a sensor element (72S) to detect a position of an inner rotor of the electric motor in a rotational direction. The motor housing (6) includes a substrate accommodating portion (80) configured to accommodate at least a portion of the control substrate (70); a positioning portion (81) that is formed in the substrate accommodating portion (80), and positions the control substrate (70); and a screw configured to fix a stator of the electric motor to the positioning portion (81).

A device for moving at least one door leaf, includes a fixed beam that is fixed to the frame, a moving beam that is connected to the fixed beam by swinging rails which allow it to move transversely with respect to the axes of elongation of the fixed and moving beams, a motor which drives the leaf in a movement parallel to the axis of elongation of the moving beam and which, during the swinging of the leaf, also drives a drive cam which is provided with a slot in which there is engaged a pin that is fixed to the fixed beam, and a central roller which is connected to the moving beam and circulates in a groove in the fixed beam during the movement of the leaf.

In at least some implementations, a cable control system includes a spool on which a portion of a cable may be taken up and released, an input shaft coupled to the spool, and a motor coupled to the input shaft to drive the input shaft and spool in a first direction to take up cable on the spool and in a second direction to release cable from the spool. The control system also has two clutches that allow rotation of the spool without corresponding rotation of the motor. Each clutch may have a first member coupled to the input shaft and a second member coupled to the spool and relative rotation between the first and second members of the clutch allows rotation of the spool relative to the motor or input shaft.

A personnel access door assembly of an opposing wing of a mine ventilation door. The personnel access door includes a frame including a top portion, a bottom portion, a first post portion and a second post portion, the top frame portion and the bottom frame portion coupled to respective top and bottom ends of the first post and second post portions. The personnel access door further includes sets of trolley wheels affixed to the top or bottom of the frame to engage a top rail or bottom rail affixed on the opposing wing.

An assembly includes a drive device, a component to be displaced relative to a wall element for closing an opening of the wall element, and a guide device with which the component can be displaced relative to the wall element. A switch and/or a sensor system, preferably a metal detector, allows a partially open position of the component to be detected and/or allows the drive device to be activated, preferably based on a detection of the partially open position starting from a fully open position, and/or allows the drive device to be deactivated, preferably based on a detection of the partially open position starting from a closed position.
