A vehicle door unit comprises a rotating lever supported rotatably about a first shaft at a first end, a door mounting coupled rotatably about a second shaft to a second end of the rotating lever, a door attached to the door mounting and being configured to cover an opening in a vehicle and to close off a vehicle interior, and a drive unit configured to rotate the rotating lever about the first shaft between a closed position and an open position. The rotating lever is configured to move the second shaft, on a movement from the closed position to the open position, on a circular path, due to which the door mounting is first moved into the vehicle interior and, on further rotation of the rotating lever, out of the vehicle interior.

Disclosed is a new compact clamp for sliding glass doors, which includes two jaws, left jaw and right jaw. One of the jaws has a damper formed by a double-effect damper with gas and oil technology, using a cylinder containing a front gas chamber and a rear gas chamber which are located at the ends of the cylinder, and a central oil tank, the gas chambers and the oil tank being separated by a blind piston and an annular piston, which are both leak tight. In the central oil tank is disposed a non-leak tight damping piston that is connected to a rod of the damper and divides the tank into two oil chambers.

The invention relates to a drive arrangement for the motorized movement of a tailgate (2) of a motor vehicle, wherein at least one drive unit (3, 4) is provided, having two drive connections (3a, 3b; 4a, 4b) for channeling out drive unit power, wherein a first drive unit (3) is motor and spring-operated and has a drive unit motor (5) as well as a drive unit spring (6), respectively acting on the two drive connections (3a, 3b) associated with the first drive unit (3), wherein the first drive unit (3) comprises a movement sensor (7) for generating a sensor signal, representing movement information regarding a movement between the drive connections (3a, 3b) of the first drive unit (3), wherein a second drive unit (4) is solely spring-operated and has a drive unit spring (8), acting on the two drive connections (4a, 4b) associated with the second drive unit (4), wherein a drive unit controller (9) is provided, which detects a predetermined deviation of the sensor signal (S) of the movement sensor (7) from a predetermined normal signal corresponding to the normal condition as an error condition and upon detecting an error condition carries out an error routine.

A parcel receptacle includes a bottom member, an exterior wall that extends upward from the bottom member and that defines an interior space, and a top member that is coupled with the exterior wall and configured to cover an opening of the receptacle to enclose the parcel within the interior space. The parcel receptacle also includes a lock mechanism that is operably coupled with the top member and the exterior wall. The lock mechanism is lockable to prevent user access to the interior space and is unlockable to enable the top member to be opened to allow user access to the interior space. A vertical lip of the top member overlaps at least a portion of the exterior wall so that a seam between the top member and the exterior wall is covered by the vertical lip.

A stop position damping device (13) for a sliding element (11) that is slidably arranged in a sliding direction (R) relative to a stationary element (12) includes a structural unit (14) and an activating part (15) that are connected to one of the two elements (11), (12) respectively. The structural unit (14) has a base carrier (21) at which a damping cylinder supporting arrangement (23) is pivotably mounted with one and around a first pivot axis (S1). At the opposite free end (24), the damping cylinder supporting arrangement (23) is supported without guidance at the base carrier (21) via a biasing element (25), wherein the biasing element (25) creates a torque around the first pivot axis (S1). In an area that is closer to the free end (24) as to the first pivot axis (S1), a catch part (45) can move in a length direction (L) relative to the damping cylinder supporting arrangement (23). If an unintended collision occurs between the activating part (15) and the catch part (45), the damping cylinder supporting arrangement (23) with the catch part (45) can pivot away from the activating part (15).

The invention discloses a folding and unfolding mechanism. The folding and unfolding mechanism is mounted between an upper panel and a lower panel which are hinged, and is used for folding and unfolding the upper panel and the lower panel, and for overturning for 0-180 degrees between the upper panel and the lower panel; wherein the folding and unfolding mechanism comprises a four-connecting-rod assembly, a pushrod assembly and an auxiliary connecting rod assembly; the auxiliary connecting rod assembly comprises a first auxiliary connecting rod and a second auxiliary connecting rod, wherein one end of the first auxiliary connecting rod is hinged to one end of the second auxiliary connecting rod; the other end of the first auxiliary connecting rod is hinged to the lower panel; and the other end of the second auxiliary connecting rod is fixedly connected with a fourth connecting rod. The invention provides a mechanism, mounted between an upper panel and a lower panel which are hinged together, for folding and unfolding the upper panel and the lower panel, and for overturning for 0-180 degrees between the upper panel and the lower panel.

A gas strut active monitoring system for a gas strut includes a gas strut wear monitor connected to a base end of the gas strut and a strut end. The gas strut wear monitor is removable from the gas strut such that the gas strut is replaceable without replacing the gas strut wear monitor. The gas strut wear monitor is configured to monitor an output force of the gas strut, and output a signal indicative of a maintenance recommendation for the gas strut based on the output force.

A window frame comprising a plurality of elongate frame members defining a frame opening for receiving a window for closing the frame opening. At least one of the elongate frame members having a longitudinally extending recess; and a slide mechanism received within the recess, wherein the slide mechanism comprises a first track fixed within the recess and a second track movable within and along the recess and coupled to the first track via a rotary coupling member such that movement of second track along the recess causes the rotary coupling member to rotate, wherein the second track is arranged to be coupled to the window when the window is received within the frame opening to enable the window to slide relative to the frame.

Provided are a fireproof door apparatus, a fireproof structure, and a substrate treating facility.

The fireproof door apparatus includes a fireproof shutter opening and closing a passage connecting two spaces, a release unit installed on one side of the passage and in the fireproof shutter and fixing the fireproof shutter in an open state using magnetic force or releasing the fireproof shutter that is fixed, and a gas spring connected to the fireproof shutter and moving the fireproof shutter toward the passage by heat of the fire to close the passage.
