A window actuator linkage assembly that includes barrel brackets, a mounting bracket, and a clamping plate for fastening to a moveable portion of a window that facilitates adjustment of the alignment of a chain extending from an actuator positioned on or within a fixed portion of a window to the window actuator linkage assembly. A window actuator linkage assembly can also include elements such as barrel brackets that have openings to receive a fastener, a T-shaped base, and a slotted base bracket having an inner surface that slidably engages with the T-shaped base, and is configured to fix the T-shaped base in a desired position along the length of the slotted base bracket.

An arrangement for closing an access member rotatable relative to a frame about a hinge axis, the arrangement comprising a primary element for fixation to either the frame or the access member; a secondary element for fixation to the other of the frame and the access member; a connection device arranged between the primary element and the secondary element and engaging the secondary element; and a force device comprising a drive element rotatable about a pivot axis and engaging the connection device, the force device being arranged to force rotation of the connection device relative to the primary element about the pivot axis, wherein a position of the force device relative to the primary element is adjustable after fixation of the primary element and the secondary element to adjust a distance between the pivot axis and the hinge axis. An access member system and a method are also provided.

A synchronization device includes at least two drive devices for moving a movable furniture part and a synchronization rod for synchronizing a movement of the drive devices. A first end region of the synchronization rod is connected to a first pivoting member of the first drive device, and a second end region of the synchronization rod is connected to a second pivoting member of the second drive device. A length compensating device is configured to at least partially compensate for a play between the drive devices and the synchronization rod along a longitudinal direction of the synchronization rod in a mounted condition of the synchronization rod. At least one of the drive devices includes a housing, and the length compensating device is at least partially integrated into the housing and/or the length compensating device is at least partially integrated into the synchronization rod.

A gate opening apparatus for a door gate includes a housing, a motor, and a gear assembly. The gear assembly includes a gear rod and a driven member. The gear rod has one end connected to the motor without connecting through any clutching device, and another end extending toward a mounting portion of the housing. The driven member engages with the gear rod, in such a manner that when the gear rod is driven to rotate, the driven member is arranged to move along a longitudinal direction of the housing. The gate opening apparatus is arranged to be selectively operated between a power mode and a manual mode, wherein in the manual mode, the motor is cut off from electricity and is arranged to exert minimal mechanical resistance so that a user is able to manually move the door gate for opening or closing thereof.

A hinge assembly comprising a first hinge leaf assembly and a second hinge leaf assembly, each having their respective hinge leaf. The hinge assembly further comprises at least one mounting member fixable to a moveable barrier through a fixing arrangement. The first and/or second hinge leaf is connectable to the at least one mounting member so as to be adjustable relative thereto. A locking arrangement is also included to releasably lock the first and/or second hinge leaf to the at least one mounting member. The locking arrangement is operative to adopt a hold condition where relative movement between the first and/or second hinge leaf and the at least one mounting member is prevented, and a released condition where the first and/or second hinge leaf is able to be adjusted relative to the at least one mounting member.

A gate operator has one or more vertically adjustable idler sprockets that allow to correct for a vertical offset between a gate bracket and the idler sprockets. In preferred aspects, the idler sprockets and a motor of the gate operator are movably coupled to a mounting structure via respective mounting interfaces.

An assembly for mounting a door to a rail to move between open and closed positions, the assembly including a carriage, a mounting plate configured to be mounted to the top of the door, a pin extending between the carriage and the mounting plate, a connection member attached to or formed with the pin to connect the pin to the mounting plate, the connection member comprising a head and a neck, wherein the mounting plate has a slot, the slot including a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion dimensioned to receive the neck and the lower portion dimensioned to receive the head, and wherein the head is too wide to be received in or pass through the upper portion so that in use the door hangs from the mounting assembly with the mounting plate bearing on the head of the connection member.

A drive of a sliding door of a motor vehicle, comprising an electric drive unit, a drive cable, a guide for the drive cable, the sliding door being movable relative to a body by operation of the drive cable, and a cable deflection having a deflection wheel which is rotatably mounted in the cable deflection, wherein the cable deflection is adjustable to adjust a position of the deflection wheel to adjust a tensile stress in the drive cable.

A tensioner for a window regulator for raising and lowering a window of a vehicle, including: a first tensioner support; a second tensioner support; a spring disposed between the first tensioner support and the second tensioner support; and an adjusting sleeve configured to engage features of the first tensioner support as the second tensioner support is moved away from the first tensioner support due to a biasing force of the spring.

A two-step hinge assembly for a door cover that provides access to an opening defined by a body panel includes a hinge inlet attached to the door cover, a hinge neck rotatably mounted to the body panel about a main axis of rotation, a retaining member actuated between an engaged position and a disengaged position, and a biasing member. The biasing member exerts a biasing force upon the retaining member to maintain the retaining member in the engaged position, where the retaining member is urged from the engaged position into the disengaged position when an actuation force that opposes the biasing force is exerted upon the retaining member. The retaining member disengages with a mating feature of the hinge inlet when urged into the disengaged position to allow the hinge inlet to rotate independently about a local axis of rotation.
