The one-way braking hinge (10) includes a first leaf (1), a shaft (3) rotatably supported by the first leaf (1), at least one resistance part (4) that resists rotation of the shaft (3), a second leaf (2) rotatably coupled to the shaft (3), a one-way clutch (12) into which the shaft (3) is inserted, and a position adjusting member (11) to which the one-way clutch (12) is fixed. The position adjusting member (11) is position-adjustably coupled to the second leaf (2).

A cursor assembly for a window regulator of a vehicle door, including: a main body portion; a clamping member secured to the main body portion; a cable securement feature that is moveably secured to the main body portion by an adjustment screw, wherein rotation of the adjustment screw about an axis will cause the cable securement feature to move along the axis with respect to the main body portion; and a gear train operably coupled to the adjustment screw.

A door opener includes a driving device having a first transmission member driven by a motor. A push rod is connected to the first transmission member to move therewith. A pressing rod unit is pivotably coupled to the push rod and includes a coupling sleeve, first and second end pieces coupled to the coupling sleeve, and an adjusting screw rod in threading connection with the second end piece. The first end piece is coupled with a first pivotal member coupled with a door. An end of the adjusting screw rod is located outside of the coupling sleeve and is coupled with a second pivotal member pivotably connected to the push rod. When the adjusting screw rod rotates, the adjusting screw rod moves in an axial direction of the coupling sleeve to change a length of a portion of the adjusting screw rod outside of the coupling sleeve.

A gate hinge apparatus and method adapted to be fastened to a vertical gate and to a post, comprising: a L-bolt having an elongated horizontal portion formed with thread and a transition into a vertical male member; a first bracket having a female mounting flange mounted to either the gate or the post disposed adjacent to the gate as elected by said user; a second bracket having a plate having one or more threaded means for holding and retaining said L-bolt, which is mounted to the gate or the post disposed adjacent to the gate; said L-bolt uses its vertical male member to connect to said female mounting flange; and said L-bolt has one or more nuts that are positioned on said thread on said elongated horizontal portion of said L-bolt to adjust said hinge. The method comprising: rotating the nut in a first angular direction to increase the gap width; and rotating the bolt in a second angular direction, to decrease the gap width.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a swing-in type of door structure of a vehicle that includes a door disposed in parallel at both sides of an entrance of a vehicle, and a door arm mounted on one side of the door to open or close the door by rotation, including: a center door bracket of which one end is fixed to one surface of an upper center of the door and that extends in a direction perpendicular to the door; a roller bracket of which one end is coupled to the other end of the center door bracket in a direction perpendicular to the center door bracket; and a roller mounted on the other end of the roller bracket and coupled to be rolled and rotated while in contact with a rail formed on a vehicle body of an upper side of the door.

An apparatus (14) for adjusting a location of a rail of a window regulator (12) with respect to a vehicle door panel (10), the apparatus including: a jack-screw (24) secured to a gear (26), the gear (26) and the jack-screw (24) being rotatably secured to the vehicle door panel (10); a worm (28) rotatably secured to the vehicle door panel (10), the worm (28) being configured to meshingly engage the gear (26); and a nut (30) secured to the rail (16), the jack-screw (24) threadingly engaging the nut (30), wherein when the worm (28) is rotated the jack-screw (24) will rotate in either a clockwise or counter clockwise direction which will cause the rail (16) to move in a direction with respect to the vehicle door panel (10).

A housing for mounting a motorized actuator on or in a fixed portion of a window that allows the actuator to be adjusted in the housing to facilitate alignment of a linkage on the actuator with a linkage on the moveable portion of a window.

In at least some implementations, a hinge for a vehicle door includes a door hinge adapted to be mounted to a vehicle door and a body hinge adapted to be mounted to a vehicle body. Either the door hinge or the body hinge includes a hinge pin, a void is defined by the other one of the door hinge or the body hinge that does not include the hinge pin, and a retainer is movable relative to the void. The hinge pin is received in the void in an assembled state of the hinge, and the retainer overlaps a retaining surface in an advanced position of the retainer to inhibit removal of the hinge pin from the void. In this way, the vehicle door may be releasably retained on the vehicle body.

PROBLEM: To provide a retaining device for which the magnitude of resistance when an engaging protrusion moves between elastic pieces can be adjusted. SOLUTION: The retaining device 4 is provided with: a receiving member 5 that is attached to a main body 1, and an engagement member 6 that is attached to a movable body 2. The receiving member 5 has: a base part 10 attached to the main body 1, a first elastic piece 11 supported by the base part 10, and a second elastic piece 12 supported by the base part 10. The engagement member 6 has an engaging protrusion 8 that passes between the first elastic piece 11 and the second elastic piece 12 and is retained at a retaining position P. An interval between the first elastic piece 11 and the second elastic piece 12 becomes narrower than the engaging protrusion 8 at a more forward side than the retaining position P. The first elastic piece 11 bends more easily than the second elastic piece 12 at a more forward side than the retaining position P.
