A fitting frame having improved prefabricated rails, the fitting frame being implemented so as providable on an interior wall surface and the like, and includes: an upper frame body and a lower frame body which have facing surfaces respectively facing the upper end portion and the lower end portion of a door frame, and which are extrusion-molded in a longitudinal direction; and rail assemblies which are respectively fastened to the facing surfaces of the upper frame body and the lower frame body, and which guide the door frame so that same is mounted and slides thereon.

An example door closer includes a casing and a pinion rotatably mounted to the casing. The pinion is operable to rotate through a plurality of movement zones, and the door closer is configured to exert forces on the pinion as the pinion moves through the plurality of movement zones. The door closer further includes a plurality of adjustment mechanisms, each operable to adjust the force exerted on the pinion as the pinion travels through a corresponding movement zone. The casing is provided with indicia that correlate each of the adjustment mechanisms to the corresponding movement zone.

The present invention relates to a device capable of guiding a stable rotational actuation between a first support bracket fixedly connected to a supporting frame side of a door frame and a second support bracket fixedly connected to the door side in a gear hinge unit constituting a rotating door, specifically, in a door hinge in which a gear hinge unit is provided between the first support bracket fixedly connected to the support frame side of the door frame and the second support bracket fixedly connected to the door side, by minimizing the compressive stress generated in the lower gear hinge unit under a neutral axis of the door and the tensile stress generated in the upper gear hinge unit above the neutral axis of the door by the rotational moment applied to the gear hinge unit due to the load of the door, it is possible not only to secure and maintain the correct opening/closing performance of the door, but also to minimize damage to parts caused by friction or friction noise in the door hinge.

The present invention relates to a retractable housing assembly for a payment device comprising a housing defining an internal volume, a frame connected to the housing, a carriage operatively connected to the frame, wherein the carriage is adapted to receive a payment device, wherein the carriage is in slidable engagement with the frame. The present invention alleviates one or more issues associated with tampering, vandalism and/or robberies.

An opening and closing device couples a vehicle body having an opening to a body that opens and closes the opening, at least one of the vehicle body and the body including a ball stud including a ball, the opening and closing device including: a shaft member; a socket fixed to an end of the shaft member, including a housing portion that houses the ball, and constituting a ball joint together with the ball; an elastic body supported by the socket and holding the ball with the socket; and a cover mounted at a restricting position where displacement of the elastic body relative to the socket is restricted. The cover includes two side walls sandwiching the housing portion, one of the housing portion and the side walls has a recess, and the other has a protrusion fitted into the recess when the cover is at the restricting position.

A sliding window for a building includes a stationary frame, an opening leaf, a motorized drive device, a fittings system and a locking control device. The motorized drive device includes an electromechanical actuator, a flexible element and a drive arm. The flexible element drives movement of the opening leaf with respect to the stationary frame when the actuator is electrically activated. The arm is connected both to a frame of the opening leaf and to the flexible element. The locking control device is configured to collaborate with a lock of the fittings system and to be actuated by the flexible element when the actuator is electrically activated. The drive arm supports the locking control device. The fittings system also includes an errorproofing system. The locking control device is configured to actuate the lock following activation of the errorproofing system and when the actuator is electrically activated.

A chain support mechanism for use with an openable frame component and a method of using such a chain support is provided, where a chain actuator is provided in a housing, the chain actuator including a push-pull chain which chain can bend in one direction only, the housing mounted with its longitudinal extent along one frame component with the chain attached to the openable frame component where the chain actuator may be manipulated to extend or withdraw the chain from the housing, thereby moving the openable frame component, and where the chain support mechanism includes a first arm pivotably fastened to the housing and a second arm pivotably fastened to the openable frame component, where the distal end of the first arm and the distal end of the second arm are pivotably connected by a sliding member, against which sliding member the chain may slide.

An embodiment swing door mounting structure for a vehicle includes a roof side reinforcement member coupled to an inner side of a cross section of a roof side of a side structure in a vehicle body front and rear direction and a door mounting member coupled to the roof side reinforcement member to define an open cross section for mounting a swing door on the roof side.

A trim assembly securable in a window frame includes a track on which a sliding window is supportable, a latch insert including a plurality of latch openings, and a latch mechanism securable to the sliding window adjacent the latch insert. The latch mechanism is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position and includes a lever connected with a latch tab. In the extended position, the latch tab is positioned in a selected one of the latch openings. The latch mechanism is biased toward the extended position. The spacing of the latch openings provides for essentially infinite open/close positions.

A door closer with a doorjamb mounting plate is a screen door closer or a closer for a similar purposes that has an enlarged door jamb bracket that is attached with at least eight fasteners and has an integrally attached extension that allows for pivotally connecting the extendable arm of a spring loaded or gas tube closer. The closer attaches to the door or the lid and the extension on the enlarged door jamb bracket is optimally designed and angled to reduce stress on the door jamb.
