A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.

A control device and method for a vehicle having an automatically opening and/or automatically closing flap includes an operating switch which can be operated contactlessly in the form of a proximity sensor and a programmable functional module. The method includes the following steps: firstly, an operating requirement signal is generated upon recognition of a predetermined proximity pattern consisting of the raw sensor signal of the proximity sensor for output of a resulting control signal to an unlocking and locking mechanism for the actual automatic opening or closing the valve, secondly, it is determined whether a predetermined absolute limit value of the raw sensor signal is exceeded, and thirdly, when the predetermined limiting value is exceeded, the output of the control signal is also suppressed when the operating requirement signal is generated, wherein this provision is also designated in short below as suppression mode.

A pocket slide opening door assembly including a door leaf having a top edge, a door frame assembly, and a sliding assembly for slideable translation of the door leaf in relation to the door frame assembly between a closed position and an open position, wherein the assembly is provided in a plurality of parts for assembly in situ, including in a first part the door leaf, in a second part the door frame assembly with bay or pocket configured to receive the door leaf, or in second and third parts the door frame assembly and separate bay or pocket configured to receive the door leaf, and wherein the door assembly is disposed and configured in manner which prevents ligature about the door leaf top edge and in manner which prevents access to the sliding assembly for tamper purpose or for ligature purpose.

The invention relates to a hinge (1) for connecting a movable part (T) to another part (R), wherein the hinge (1) has four levers (2, 3, 4, 5) with seven points of rotation (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31), and six (25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31) of the seven points of rotation (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31) are arranged axially symmetrically in relation to a mirror axis (S), which runs through one (29) of the seven points of rotation (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31), and two (25, 26) of the six symmetrically arranged points of rotation (25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31) can be fixed on the movable part, and two (27, 28) of the six symmetrically arranged points of rotation (25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31) can be fixed on the other part, in each case by means of an attachment (6), and the attachments (6) secure the relative position of the in each case two points of rotation (25, 26; 27, 28) in relation to one another, and one (25) of the two points of rotation (25, 26) secured by means of a first of the two attachments (6) is connected, by means of one lever (3) of the four levers (2, 3, 4, 5), to one (30) of the two symmetrically arranged points of rotation (30, 31) which are present outside the attachment (6), and the other (26) of the two points of rotation (25, 26) secured by means of the first attachment (6) is connected, by means of a further lever (5) of the four levers (2, 3, 4, 5), to the other one (31) of the two symmetrically arranged points of rotation (30, 31) which are present outside the attachments (6), wherein the further lever (5) also incorporates the point of rotation (29), through which the mirror axis (S) runs, wherein, in the closed state, there is an enclosed angle of less than 155 between a connecting line between the point of rotation (29) having the mirror axis (S) and a point of rotation (31) outside the attachments (6) and a connecting line between the point of rotation (29) having the mirror axis and the point of rotation (26) at the attachment (6) for a lever (5).

A hinge device includes a fixed element, a movable element and a slider housed in a working chamber and coupled to a pivot, so that a rotation of the movable element corresponds to the sliding of the slider. The working chamber includes an end cap and a working fluid and is divided into first and second variable volume compartment by a plunger member of the slider. A hydraulic circuit includes a first duct passing through an end cap that is in fluid communication with the first and second compartments and has an elongated tubular wall extending within the working chamber, and the interspace between the working chamber and the elongated tubular wall. The plunger member is tightly inserted in the elongated tubular wall, which includes a first peripheral conduit having a first and a second port in fluid communication with the first and respectively second compartment through the first duct.

A movable barrier operator transmits a message to a remote peripheral platform and, upon determining that the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out a given functionality, responsively permits a particular function to be carried out by the movable barrier operator. Conversely, upon determining that it cannot be ascertained whether the remote peripheral platform is presently able to carry out the given functionality, the movable barrier operator responsively prevents the movable barrier operator from carrying out the particular function. Also, upon detecting that a targeted remote platform does not acknowledge a previously re-transmitted message and further upon detecting that this same remote platform has also not acknowledged a subsequent wirelessly-transmitted second message, the system can switch to automatically retransmitting that second message a lesser number of times than would otherwise be required.
