A sliding door assembly (200) comprising at least one sliding door leaf (121, 122), a sliding door rail (110), a door operating assembly (100) for operating the at least one sliding door leaf (121, 122), comprising a drive unit (112) being configured to drive the at least one sliding door leaf (121, 122) along the sliding door rail (110), at least one wagon member (130) movable along the sliding door rail (110), each sliding door leaf (121, 122) having one of the at least one wagon member (130) attached thereto, said one of the at least one wagon member (130) being in driving connection with the drive unit (112), an electric component (61, 62) mounted to the sliding door leaf (121, 122) and a cable arrangement (70) for transferring power and/or communication signals between the door operating assembly (100) and the electric component (61, 62). The cable arrangement (70) is routed to the electric component (61, 62) from the door operating assembly (100). The cable arrangement (70) comprises a flexible portion (73, 74) having an end section which is fix in relation to the sliding door leaf (121, 122) to allow for extension of the flexible portion (73, 74) to compensate for the movement of said sliding door leaf (121, 122).

A cable drive device of an adjustment system of a motor vehicle has an actuating drive and a cable drive housing in which a cable drum that is rotatably coupled to the actuating drive and has a traction cable wound thereon is received. The cable drum, for receiving a cable nipple fastened to the traction cable, on at least one end side has a nipple chamber having a chamber opening and mutually spaced apart chamber walls. The nipple chamber on at least one of the chamber walls has a delimiting element. The cable nipple when introduced into the nipple chamber by way of the chamber opening engaging below the delimiting element.

An isolated fixing system for attaching an actuator to a vehicle door including an actuator fixing clip having a head portion, an engagement portion, and a guide portion, an isolation grommet with a flange and a receiving portion configured to engage the fixing clip, and a receiver integrated with the actuator to secure the actuator to a vehicle. The system may include an actuator fixing clip, a head portion, an engagement portion, and a guide portion of the actuator fixing clip that may be configured to engage an opening in a vehicle door and that, when inserted into the vehicle door, may be rotatable via the head portion from an unlocked position to a locked position, fixing the actuator to the vehicle door.

A home appliance includes a door coupled with a cabinet of the home appliance and moveable about a vertical axis between open and closed positions. A lower hinge assembly moveably couples a lower portion of the door with the cabinet. A mounting assembly is configured to support an upper portion of the door relative to the cabinet until the upper portion of the door is coupled with the cabinet and includes a first bracket supporting a pivot pin and a second bracket including a slot configured to receive the pivot pin therein. When the lower portion of the door is coupled to the cabinet by the lower hinge assembly and the pivot pin is received within the slot, the mounting assembly is configured to maintain the upper portion of the door in vertical alignment with the lower portion along the vertical axis.

A hinge is provided with two elements pivotally connected together for relative rotational movement about a hinge axis. The hinge has a spring formed of bent wire. The spring is mounted on one of the elements and a mechanism causes it to apply a biassing force between the two elements over at least part of their relative rotational movement. The biassing force is transmitted via a finger on the spring. A spreader is arranged to fit over the finger for engagement with the other element. The spreader extends continuously over the finger and engages substantially the whole of the finger.

A furniture fitting includes at least one rotatably mounted screw for fixing the furniture fitting to a furniture part. The furniture fitting further includes at least one drive element separate from the screw, and the drive element is movement-coupled to the screw and has a tool receiving device. The at least one screw is configured to be driven by rotating the tool receiving device with the aid of a tool.

Vehicle assemblies are provided that include movable door assemblies. Examples of vehicle assemblies with movable door assemblies include charge port housing assemblies and fuel fill housing assemblies. An exemplary vehicle assembly may include an override retainer. The override retainer may include a flexible flap or clip that is configured to deflect or otherwise distort to release a latching assembly from the door assembly when a manual override force is applied to the door assembly.

This disclosure is directed to vehicle assemblies that include movable door assemblies. Examples of vehicle assemblies with movable door assemblies include charge port housing assemblies and fuel fill housing assemblies. An exemplary vehicle assembly may include an override retainer. The override retainer may include a flexible flap or clip that is configured to deflect or otherwise distort to release a latching assembly from the door assembly when a manual override force is applied to the door assembly.

A concealed door hinge is disclosed having a high security that cannot be accessed from outside a cabinet on which the hinge is used. The door hinge is capable of being mounted to a thin (0.056 to 0.25 inches thick) metal door of a cabinet without using any additional fastening means.

The invention relates to a drive assembly of a motor vehicle (2) for the motorized adjustment of a hatch (3), in particular a side door, of the motor vehicle (2) by means of linear drive movements, wherein the drive assembly (1) for generating the linear drive movements has a drive unit (4) which is assigned a drive (5) having at least one drive motor (6) and a thrust gearbox (7), in particular a spindle/spindle nut gearbox (8), that in terms of drive technology is coupled to the drive (5), It is proposed that the drive assembly (1) has a support structure (9) which receives the drive unit (4) so as to be pivotable about a geometric supporting pivot axis (10), and that the drive unit (4) and the support structure (9) are connected so as to form a preassembled unit (13) which per se, by way of the support structure (9), is able to be assembled on an assembly location (14) on the motor vehicle (2), in particular on the hatch (3), or on the motor vehicle body (15).
