A heavy duty full energy, encoder driven non-handed electric door operator for industrial and commercial use a motor and an encoder configured to receive an external set of predetermined instructions. A motor mounting bracket connects the motor to a multi-layer housing. A controller is in electronic communications with the encoder and transmits external sets of predetermined instructions. Internally, the door operator contains a plurality of transfer shaft assemblies in communication with each other and connected with the motor at one end and an output shaft at the other end. The output shaft terminates at each end in a nondetachable spline. A detachable mounting plate serves as a base. The door operator operates heavy swing doors external to a building where the swing doors are required to be open or remain open in strong wind conditions.

A counterbalance mechanism for coupling with a closure panel to assist in opening and closing of the closure panel between a fully closed position and a fully open position of the closure panel, the counterbalance mechanism including: a housing coupled at one end to one of the closure panel and a body of a vehicle by a first connector and at another end by a second connector to the other of the body and the closure panel, the housing containing an extension member and a spring positioned along a longitudinal axis, the spring positioned adjacent to the first connector; the first connector having a body with a connection portion coupled by a connection to an end of the housing positioned at the one end; and a spring retention mechanism for inhibiting extension of the spring out of the one end of the housing, the spring retention mechanism including: a spring retainer positioned between the spring and the end; and a retainer pin positioned between the spring retainer and the end; wherein upon decoupling of the connection portion with the end, the retainer pin inhibits movement of the spring and the spring retainer towards the one end along the longitudinal axis.

A motor unit for a sunroof is proposed. The motor unit may include a lower housing, an upper housing, a bush, a worm wheel, a drive shaft, a pinion gear, the washer, and a bottom cover. Particularly, contact between the drive shaft and the bottom cover may be prevented, and the worm wheel may be configured to be in contact with the washer and he bush. Accordingly, different kinds of noise may be prevented from being generated according to opening and closing directions of the sunroof.

A sliding door for a vehicle, which is applicable to a door portion to which a straight rail is difficult to be applied, may include a door rail mounted in a door which is configured to be closed to a vehicle body in a vertical direction of the vehicle; a vehicle body rail mounted in the vehicle body to which the door is configured to be closed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; and a moving arm having one end portion which is movably coupled along the door rail in the vertical direction to open or close the door in a transverse of the vehicle body during moving, and the other end portion which is movably coupled along the vehicle body rail in a longitudinal direction to allow the door to be slidingly moved in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body during moving.

A hinge for the controlled rotatable movement of a closing element anchored to a stationary support structure includes a pivot, a hinge body and a hydraulic damping cylinder. The pivot has a first axis and includes a cam, and the hinge body is engaged to the pivot so as to be rotatably coupled to each other around the first axis. The hydraulic damping cylinder includes a jacket and a plunger element, and the jacket defines a second axis, houses a working fluid and is divided into a first and a second variable volume compartment in fluid communication with each other. The plunger has a first and a second end respectively inserted into the first and second variable volume compartment to slide sealingly in the jacket. The hinge body includes a working chamber defining a third axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis and contains an elastic counteracting 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 guide mechanism for a sliding door includes a rail configured to be mounted on the sliding door, a roller carriage configured to move along the rail, and including a roller bracket and a roller configured to be rotatably mounted on the roller bracket, a hinge arm configured to be pivotally connected to a vehicle body, a first shaft configured to pivotally connect the roller carriage to the hinge arm, and a second shaft configured to pivotally connect the hinge arm to the vehicle body.

A drive arrangement configured to pivot a tailgate pivotally coupled to a vehicle body, between an open position and a closed position and including a freewheel mechanism, a drive shaft, and a motor. The freewheel mechanism may be rotatably coupled to the vehicle body and defining an opening provided with an inner periphery that includes a first cam element and a second cam element. The drive shaft may be fixed to the vehicle body and extending into the opening. The drive shaft may define an outer periphery that includes a third cam element and a fourth cam element. A motor may be coupled to the freewheel mechanism and may be configured to rotate the freewheel mechanism so that the first cam element engages the third cam element to pivot the tailgate from the closed position towards the open position.

A latch for use in a vehicle including a catch, a pawl, a motor including a motor shaft, and drivetrain including, a first gear and a pawl lifter. The first gear is configured to rotate about a first axis as the motor shaft rotates when the drivetrain is in the operating state and defining an aperture configured to receive an opening tool and translate along the first axis from a first position to a second position to change the drivetrain from the operating state to the service state, when the opening tool is inserted into the aperture. When the first gear is in the second position, the first gear is configured to pivot the pawl lifter to move the pawl from the pawl closed position of the pawl open position.
