Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for a modular wall system. The modular wall system may include a panel frame; a sliding door including a first vertical side, a second vertical side, an upper surface, and a lower surface; sliding door hardware coupled to the upper surface of the sliding door configured to translate the sliding door within the panel frame; and a sliding track seal arranged with the header including a substantially linear portion extending from the header and a curved portion configured to maintain contact with the sliding door in a closed configuration, an open configuration, and in transitioning between the open configuration and the closed configuration.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for use with a bifold door for a modular wall panel system. The bifold door may include sliding door hardware coupled to a top portion of the bifold door configured to translate the bifold door within the door frame; a first plurality of hinges spaced apart vertically; and a second plurality of hinges spaced apart vertically between a first leaf and a second leaf.

A drive device for use in an adjusting apparatus configured to adjust a vehicle part, including a drive housing provided with a housing pot, a drive gear disposed in the housing pot and rotatable about an axis of rotation, an output element operatively connected to the drive gear, and a gear cover, connected to the housing pot and annularly extending about the axis of rotation, and including a cover body provided with a first edge portion connected to the housing pot and a second edge portion protruding radially inwards relative to the first edge portion. A height measured axially between the first edge portion and the second edge portion varies with respect to a circumferential direction about the axis of rotation.

Systems and methods for providing a door seal system for top-hanging sliding doors. In some implementations, two angled mating surfaces are used, one angled surface on a fixed frame and one reversed angled surface on the slideable door panel. The slideable door panel slides directly parallel to the fixed door frame. A mating seal surface is created that is only in frictional contact for a small portion of the linear slide distance of the door panel. In some implementations, rather than placing two opposing angled seal surfaces, the sealing system has one angled surface on the fixed door frame. In such implementations, the sliding door panel is adjusted to be in a reverse angled orientation relative to the angled surface of the fixed door frame. Seal designs for the rear vertical edge of the slideable door panel are also provided herein.

The present invention provides a cover structure, which includes a body, a first cover and a second cover. The body is provided with a first opening and a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are adjacent and are configured at an interval from each other so as to form a frame between the first opening and the second opening. The first cover includes a first cover plate and a first seat plate. The second cover includes a second cover plate and a second seat plate. The first and second seat plates are disposed in a protruding manner on side edges of the first and second cover plates, and are fixedly connected to the frame. The first and second cover plates cover the first and second openings, and are turnable relative to the first and second seat plates so as to open the first and second openings.

A device for protection against entrapment for a door for a vehicle includes an extruded profile extruded from an elastomer material, wherein the extruded profile includes a door leaf wall, which faces a contact edge of a door leaf of a door when the device is mounted on the door, a sealing wall arranged in an opposing position relative to the door leaf wall and a plunger for transferring a compression force into the extruded profile. The plunger is mounted on the sealing wall and extends along a transverse axis of the extruded profile away from the door leaf wall. The device also includes at least one switching element for detecting a compression of the extruded profile, wherein the at least one switching element is arranged in the region of the plunger between the door leaf wall and the plunger.

A cylinder-piston unit with load-dependent damping includes a piston longitudinally displaceable in a cylinder. The piston has a first piston channel and a second piston channel, which each connect a compensation space on one side of the piston to a displacement space side on an opposite side of the piston. On the displacement space side a throttle channel connects one first piston channel to the piston lateral surface. On its displacement space side the piston has a piston journal, which carries a resiliently deformable piston disc. The piston disc is displaceable and covers the throttle channel at least partially. The displacement space side has at least one relief portion deviating from a piston end face plane. The relief portion is delimited on a number of sides by a plurality of boundary lines running concentrically with respect to the central axis. Each of these boundary lines can be differentiated continuously.

An automatic hatch assembly for bulk material containers includes a hatch cover which covers a fill opening of the container, and may be retrofitted to existing containers equipped with a conventional hatch cover. A drive unit is operable to open and close the hatch cover, and a locking assembly actuates an extendable lock member. Optionally, a pneumatic seal is provided within the cover for sealing the container from the outside environment. The locking assembly is adapted to resist opening forces applied to the cover, such as when the container is pressurized, and a sequencing controller may be provided to facilitate automated operation of the opening/closing, locking/unlocking, and/or sealing/unsealing of the hatch cover.

A liftable hinge mechanism includes a base, a connecting component and a pin. The base has a narrow slot. The connecting component has an axle hole. The pin slidably passes through the narrow slot and rotatably inserts into the axle hole. The connecting component can be rotated and/or shifted relative to the base via the pin. A reciprocating engaging mechanism includes a shaft, a rotary plate, a first engaging component and a linkage module. The rotary plate is rotatably disposed on the shaft. The linkage module is connected between the rotary plate and the first engaging component. Rotation of the rotary plate drives the linkage module to move the first engaging component into a locking mode or an unlocking mode. The liftable hinge mechanism and the reciprocating engaging mechanism are applied to an airtight device with a housing and a cover capable of being folded and unfolded.
