A vehicle window regulator includes a slider base supported on a guide rail; a drive wire connected to the slider base; a wire guide supported at one end of the guide rail and having a winding part, onto which the drive wire is wound, at a position offset from the guide rail in a vehicle width direction; and a driver which raises and lowers the slider base via the drive wire. The wire guide is supported by the guide rail by a retainer and a pressing portion, the retainer engaged with the guide rail, and the pressing portion being engaged with the guide rail to press the guide rail toward the other end of the guide rail. The pressing portion is formed at a position toward the other end and formed at a position offset from the retainer toward the winding part.

A vehicle barrier gate system which is positioned above a roadway through which vehicles pass. Some of the various embodiments of the present disclosure include a gate comprised of an arm and barrier which is adjustable between a raised position in which a vehicle may pass and a lowered position in which a vehicle is prevented from passing. The gate may be movably connected to a ceiling or an overhead support structure positioned above the roadway. Various types of actuators may be utilized to adjust the gate along a linear and/or angular path between the raised and lowered positions. A control unit may be in communication with one or more sensors and/or an authorization system to control the actuator. The gate may include a breakaway mechanism which allows the gate to be manually raised or lowered in the event of actuator failure or a vehicle ramming through the gate.

Disclosed is a long arm quick release hinge comprised of a hinge cup pivotally connected to a hinge body with a hinge pin via a hinge arm and a link in a four-bar linkage arrangement. The link is a collection of plates with interlocking projections and indentions arranged adjacent to each other and separated by resilient shock absorbing spacers. The hinge body is adjustably connected to a connecting plate with an overlay screw and an adjustment screw.

A synchronization rod for furniture drives for the synchronous moving of movable furniture parts, includes a coupling portion for connection to a furniture drive and a synchronization portion along a length of the synchronization rod, more particularly arranged between two opposite coupling portions. The synchronization portion, as seen in a cross-section taken orthogonally to the length, has a first outer contour portion in the form of a circular segment and a further outer contour portion, preferably adjacent to the first outer contour portion, having a geometry in a form that is not a circular segment. The circular segment comprises an angular range of between 250 and 330 and/or an angular range of between 180 and 350, and the further outer contour portion is arranged exclusively on one side of the synchronization rod.

A garage door roller system for preventing damage to a vehicle or a garage door when the garage door is opening or closing. The garage door roller system generally includes a garage door arm which is connected at an upper end thereof to a carriage of a garage door opener. A first end of a connector is connected to the garage door arm, and a second end of the connector is connected to the garage door. One or more rollers are connected to a lower end of the garage door arm, with a portion of the rollers being positioned lower than the lower end of the garage door arm. The rollers are adapted to roll across an obstruction when the garage door is opening or closing to prevent damage to the obstruction as well as the garage door arm.

Drive device includes first housing, second housing configured to move relatively with respect to first housing, drive section, spindle member, nut member, moving member, coil spring, and spring guide member. First housing includes inner peripheral surface, housing portion housing drive section, and protruding portion protruding toward the center from inner peripheral surface. Spring guide member includes spring support portion and flange portion protruding outward in the radial direction of spring support portion. Flange portion of spring guide member is held between protruding portion and drive section in the axis X direction of spindle member.

A method and system for securing or buttressing buildings having sectional garage doors against lateral forces as experienced in seismic events or high winds, by releasably securing the panels of the sectional garage door to each other and securing them in a closed position against buttressing columns when the garage door is in its closed configuration, thereby allowing the door to act as a shear wall assembly when closed.

In example implementations, a door monitoring sensor is provided. The door monitoring sensor includes a communication interface to transmit an alarm when a door operates outside of operational parameters of the door, an angular sensor to measure rotational movement of the a door, a movement sensor to detect movement along an x-y-z coordinate plane, a radar sensor to detect an object, a rechargeable power supply to provide power to the angular sensor, the movement sensor, and the radar sensor, and a processor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the communication interface, the angular sensor, the movement sensor, and the radar sensor. The processor is to determine that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door and generate the alarm that is transmitted by the communication interface in response to determination that the door is moving outside of the operational parameters of the door.
