A driver for a vehicle window regulator, having a pane holder for fastening to a window pane, and a rail slider with a guide region and a sliding insert lying therein. The pane holder has an approximately cylindrical connecting section which is inserted along an axial direction into a holder section of the rail slider and is surrounded by said holder section at least in sections along a circumferential direction, and the connecting section has a receptacle and the holder section has a passage opening, which receptacle and passage opening are arranged aligned with each other along a radial direction, and a joining pin is inserted into the passage opening and the receptacle.

A method for producing a wall for a piece of furniture involves providing two panel-form core halves, of which at least one has at least one aperture extending only along a portion of a side surface of the core half. A fitting or fitting housing is inserted into the at least one aperture and the two core halves are joining together to form a composite element enclosing the fitting or fitting housing. Side surfaces of the two core halves are located one upon the other. A narrow-surface coating is applied to at least one end surface of the composite element, the end surface being oriented transversely to the side surface. An opening is formed in a portion of the at least one end surface. The opening extends as far as the fitting, or the fitting housing.

The present disclosure is directed to overhead door assemblies and operating systems. Disclosed herein is a drive drum that is compatible across a variety of overhead door types, including, for example, standard lift doors, vertical lift doors, and high lift doors. The drive drum of the present disclosure comprises a first cable groove section and a second cable groove section, opposite the first cable groove section, wherein at least one of the first cable groove section or the second cable groove section is in a non-linear graduated arrangement.

A sliding door roller assembly includes a roller housing being at least partially disposed within an outer housing moveable relative to the roller housing and at least one roller wheel in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the at least one roller wheel. At least one resilient member is positioned at an end of the outer housing, and includes a fixed termination section coupled to an end member of the outer housing, a compliant section extending from the fixed termination section, a curved engagement section, and a resilient section between the compliant section and the curved engagement section and pivotable about the compliant section. The at least one resilient member is flexible from a first position to a second position when the curved engagement section mates with an inner surface of a slot defining a bottom edge of a panel secured to the outer housing to provide a holding force between the resilient member and the inner surface of the slot.

The invention consists of a novel cooler hinge construction that allows for the cooler's lid to be removed and reattached easily. One benefit of such an assembly is that either side of the lid may be used facing upwards, depending on what the user is doing at the time. The lid is attached to the hinge by a clamp assembly that pinches the lid and holds it in place. The jaws of the clamp are housed within identical grooves on the top and bottom of the lid, allowing the lid to be pulled out of the clamp when the cooler is open and to be subsequently reattached by sliding the lid back into the clamp. This functionality allows for the lid to be removed and reattached easily, but also holds it securely in place when the cooler is closed because the lid is unable to move laterally. The clamp also serves as a controlled fail point for the invention, allowing the lid to break away before the hinge or clamp are damaged.

A method for constructing an extension mechanism for a closure panel of a vehicle, the extension mechanism including an extension member housed in a body housing, such that the extension member extends and retracts with respect to the body housing as the closure panel is opened and closed, the extension mechanism having a first connection at one end for connecting the extension member to the vehicle and a second connection at the other end for connecting the body housing to the vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: overlapping a tube wall of the body housing with an end portion of the body housing, the end portion having a receiving indentation; receiving a deformed portion of the tube wall into the receiving indentation in order to form a crimp connection between the tube wall and the end portion; and positioning a clamping member having a body by at least a portion of the body over the tube wall, such that the deformed portion is sandwiched between the portion of the body and the receiving indentation.

A guide system for guiding a furniture door, in particular a folding door or folding-sliding door, relative to a fixed furniture part includes a first guide rail and a running carriage which can be connected to the furniture door and which has a rolling body via which the running carriage is movably mounted on the first guide rail. The first guide rail has a running surface for the rolling body of the running carriage, and the first guide rail is assembled in the longitudinal direction from a first rail piece and one second rail piece. The two rail pieces can be releasably connected via a connecting piece on which there is formed a portion of the running surface for the rolling body of the running carriage.

A hinge bracket assembly includes an anchor plate. A retention member extends perpendicular to the anchor plate. The anchor plate defines a first receiving aperture. A hinge plate is aligned with the anchor plate and includes a hinge arm and a protrusion. The protrusion extends from an edge of the hinge plate opposite the hinge arm. The hinge plate defines a second receiving aperture aligned with the first receiving aperture when the protrusion is received by a space defined by the retention member. A locking arm is rotatable between an unlocked position and a locked position and is configured to be at least partially received by the first and second receiving apertures to couple the anchor plate and the hinge plate.

A holder-equipped window glass includes a window glass having a holder and formed in a curved shape having a first radius of curvature in section in a sliding movement direction in a state where the window glass is mounted on a vehicle. The holder includes a connecting portion and a holder body. The connecting portion extends in a direction away from a lower edge of the holder body, and the connecting portion at least partly includes a circular arcuate portion having a second radius of curvature in section in the sliding movement direction.

A mainframe door assembly for a frame is provided. The mainframe door assembly includes a door having opposed first and second sides and first and second mount assemblies. The first and second mount assemblies are configured to mount the first and second sides of the door to the frame, respectively, such that the door can occupy and move between an installed position and a loading position. In the installed position, the door is flush with the frame. In the loading position, the first mount assemblies support and the second mount assemblies permit a swinging of the door about the first side or the second mount assemblies support and the first mount assemblies permit a swinging of the door about the second side.
