A window regulator includes: a carrier piece attached to a window glass; a drive wire connected to the carrier piece and configured to lift/lower the carrier piece; and a wire end connected to an end portion of the drive wire. The carrier piece has a wire end housing portion configured to house the wire end, a wire insertion groove communicating with the wire end housing portion, and a first wire retaining portion extending at an upper end of the wire insertion groove. The wire insertion groove is configured such that the drive wire is routed in the wire insertion groove, and is configured such that an upper side of the wire insertion groove opens when a direction crossing a routing direction of the drive wire is an upper-to-lower direction.

A window regulator includes a guide rail fixed to a vehicle door panel and a slider base that supports a window glass and is slidably supported in a longitudinal direction of the guide rail along sliding surfaces on a front and a back of the guide rail. The guide rail includes a sliding portion that has a first sliding surface and a second sliding surface that face one direction and another direction in a vehicle inner-outer direction. The slider base includes a grease injection portion that includes an injection space and a grease receiving portion. The injection space opens to the vehicle inner-outer direction. The first sliding surface of the guide rail is positioned inside the injection space. The grease receiving portion is positioned opposed to the second sliding surface of the guide rail. The grease receiving portion receives a grease injected in the injection space.

A closure apparatus for openings for access to industrial machines includes a door which can move, by virtue of the action of a respective actuator which includes a motorized shaft which supports at least two mutually opposite pulleys for winding flexible elements connected to respective substantially upper and external portions of the door. The actuator includes substantially at an intermediate section of the shaft, at least one third idle pulley for winding at least one third flexible element connected to a substantially upper and central portion of the door. The third pulley is provided with at least one position sensor for detecting an unrolling of the third flexible element.

An object of the present invention is to enhance stiffness of a cable end without increasing the size of the cable end. A first retaining protrusion (35b) is provided on the tip side of a second roller pin (35) so as to protrude from the second roller pin (35) in a radially outward direction of the second roller pin (35), a cable end (40) is formed with an insertion hole (43) including an arc-shaped second inner wall (43b), the first retaining protrusion (35b) being allowed to pass through the insertion hole (43). A bush (50) is provided with: a notch (51a) which exposes the second inner wall (43b) to the outside, the first retaining protrusion (35b) being allowed to pass through the notch (51a); and a cylindrical main body (51) which covers a first inner wall (43a), the first retaining protrusion (35b) abutting on the main body (51) in a radial direction of the second roller pin (35).

An assembly for guiding a movable furniture part includes a guide system to be fastened to a stationary furniture part, a support on which a movable furniture part can be pivotably mounted, and a compensation device for compensating for a tilting moment of the support, or of the movable furniture part positioned thereon, about a tilting axis by a restoring force, and the compensation device includes a cable pull device having a cable. A cable tensioning device is also provided for tensioning the cable, and the cable tensioning device includes a display device for displaying a cable tension.
