A vehicle opening and closing body control device includes a drive control unit that opens and closes an opening and closing body of a vehicle using a motor as a drive source, wherein the opening and closing body performs the opening and closing operation based on an operation of a link mechanism formed by first and second link arms having a first rotation connection point with respect to a vehicle body and a second rotation connection point with respect to the opening and closing body, wherein an opening and closing body engagement portion is provided at a closed-side end of the opening and closing body, and an engagement failure detector that detects a failure in engagement of the opening and closing body engagement portion with the vehicle body engagement portion based on a change in a motor current value in the specific operation section at a time of full-closing control of the opening and closing body.

A dishwasher includes a tub, a base in a lower side of the tub, a door, a cover panel that covers the door and the base, and a link module connected to the door and the cover panel and configured to move the cover panel in a length direction of the door. The link module includes a first link having a first link-bracket connection portion connected to the door and spaced apart from a door rotating shaft, a second link disposed in a rear of the first link and rotatably connected to the first link and the tub, and a third link disposed in front of the first link and rotatably connected to the first link and the cover panel. When the door is opened, the first link-bracket connection portion moves from a rear of the door rotating shaft to a front upper side of the door rotating shaft.

A dishwasher includes a tub, a base below the tub, and a door, a door bracket fastened to the door and rotatably connected to the tub, a cover panel that covers the door and the base and is movably disposed in the door, a link module that moves the cover panel in a length direction of the door, an upper holder fastened to the cover panel and movably mounted in the door, and a lower holder spaced apart from the upper holder, fastened to the cover panel, and movably mounted in the door. The door includes an upper guider that supports the upper holder guides movement of the cover panel, and a lower guider that supports the lower holder and guides movement of the cover panel. The door bracket is fastened to the door at a rear of the lower guider in which the lower holder is mounted.

A striker assembly comprising: (a) a latch that releasably engages a tonneau cover or a truck cap; and (b) an actuator in communication with the latch to actuate the latch between an open position and a closed position, wherein the actuation causes the tonneau cover or the truck cap to move between the open position and the closed position; wherein actuation is initiated wirelessly based on an input signal received by the actuator.

A domestic appliance may include a cabinet, a door, and a linear hinge coupling the door to the cabinet. The linear hinge may include a bearing assembly, an elongated shaft, a door linkage, and a cabinet linkage. The bearing assembly may be mounted to the cabinet. The elongated shaft may be received within the bearing assembly and slidable along a translation axis on the bearing assembly. The elongated shaft may define a first shaft pivot axis perpendicular to the translation axis and a second shaft pivot axis parallel to the first shaft pivot axis. The door linkage may couple the door to the elongated shaft. The door linkage may be pivotally connected to the elongated shaft at the first shaft pivot axis. The cabinet linkage may couple the cabinet to the elongated shaft. The cabinet linkage may be pivotally connected to the elongated shaft at the second shaft pivot axis.

Exemplary closure member systems for motor vehicles may include one or more power hinge assemblies, non-powered hinge assemblies, or both and are configured to displace a closure member to a fully open position of at least 100 degrees relative to its closed position. The hinge assemblies may embody a multi-axis design for moving the closure member between the closed and fully open positions. The closure member systems may be further configured to move the closure member along different swing paths during an opening sequence and a closing sequence.

A truck is provided that includes a bed section located rear of a cab section. The bed section is bounded on each side by opposing first and second upward-extending sidewalls, respectively. The truck also includes a truck bed cover that sits over the bed section on at least the first and second upward-extending sidewalls, and includes a door portion to create selective accessibility to the bed section of the pickup truck. The door portion is movable with respect to the first and second upward-extending sidewalls between open and closed positons via an automatic bed cover drive assembly that moves the door portion between open and closed positons according to a plurality of velocities within a predetermined variance.

An electric lock includes a housing, a clutch mechanism and a manual control member. The housing is formed with a driving structure having a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a bottom surface. The clutch mechanism includes a driving member having a pushing structure, an elastic member arranged on the driving member for abutting against the driving structure, a rotating member having a pushed structure, and a motor for driving the driving member to rotate. The manual control member is connected to the rotating member. When the motor drives the driving member to rotate relative to the driving structure, the elastic member abuts against the first or second inclined surface to push the driving member to move toward the rotating member, so as to allow the pushing structure to abut against the pushed structure, in order to further drive the rotating member to rotate the manual control member.

A door operating system for moving a door about a vertical pivot axis between a closed position and an open position. The door operating system includes a driver including a free-ended output shaft and linkage for operably connecting the output shaft of the driver with door. An adjustable and selectively operable coupling is disposed between the free-end of the output shaft of the driver and the linkage. The adjustable coupling has a pair of coaxially spaced and adjustable interfaces. A first adjustable interface is defined between the free-end of the output shaft and the coupling while a second adjustable interface is defined between the coupling and the linkage whereby allowing for a high resolution, angular adjustment of the position of the door.

A vehicular storage box that includes a compartment for holding articles, the compartment comprising four sides, a bottom and a top lid. The compartment is fabricated from an engineered plastic or a polymer matrix composite. The box further includes a locking assembly situated within the lid. The locking assembly comprises a central locking wheel connected to a linkage, a plurality of pawls for each of at least three of the sides of the compartment, and a solenoid switch. The locking wheel is movably connected to the plurality of pawls. Further, the solenoid switch is connected to the linkage to move the wheel to drive the plurality of pawls into and out of the at least three of the sides of the compartment into a respective locked position of the lid and an unlocked position of the lid.
