A track door system for an aircraft includes a door having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A first roller track and a second roller track are aligned adjacent one another on the first side of the door. A third roller track and a fourth roller track are aligned adjacent one another on the second side of the door. A first motion driver is configured to move the door along the first roller track and the second roller track. A second motion driver is configured to move the door along the third roller track and the fourth roller track. A drive unit is operatively coupled to the first motion driver and the second motion driver to provide electromechanical power for cooperatively moving the door forward to an open position or aft to a closed position.

A system and method for controlling motion of a door are provided. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position and has a balanced position whereat the door does not move towards the open position nor the closed position under an effect of gravity. The system includes a power actuator for moving the door to a partially open position between the open position and the closed position. The power actuator is adapted to allow the door to move to the balanced position after the power actuator has moved the door to the partially open position.

An embodiment vehicle hinge driving apparatus includes an actuator, a housing connected to the actuator, an output shaft rotatably mounted in the housing, and a transmission mechanism including a plurality of gear sets configured to transmit a torque from the actuator to the output shaft, wherein the plurality of gear sets includes a proximal gear set close to the actuator, a first distal gear set operatively connected to the proximal gear set, and a second distal gear set operatively connected to the first distal gear set, wherein the second distal gear set is detachably mounted and configured to respond to a required output torque, and wherein the output shaft is connected to the first distal gear set or the second distal gear set.

A powered actuator includes a leadscrew as an extensible member connected to a closure, such as a vehicle side door, and is configured to move linearly for opening or closing the closure. The first powered actuator also includes a gearbox having a gearbox housing, the gearbox configured to apply a force to the extensible member for causing the extensible member to move linearly. One or more sealing assembly seals the gearbox housing as the extensible member translates linearly. A gearbox housing may include apertures on opposite sides thereof, with one aperture facing a shut face and the other aperture facing an inner cavity of the closure. The extensible member may be sealed at each aperture relative to the gearbox housing. One sealing assembly may be fixed at an aperture, with the extensible member translating therethrough.

A mechanism is disclosed for automating a sliding window having window components comprising a stationary pane component, a sliding pane component and a window frame component. The mechanism includes a telescoping mounting assembly attached to a first of the window components. The telescoping mounting assembly includes a housing and one or two extension arms, selectively extensible from the housing to either one or both sides of the first window component. A motor is disposed within the housing driving a first gear. Either one or two telescoping drive shafts are disposed within the extension arms, each having a gear on one end of the telescoping drive shaft driven by the first gear and having a gear on an opposite end of the telescoping drive shaft that engages a rack mounted on one side of a second of the window components. The telescoping drive shafts are coupled to the extension arms and are therefore selectively extensible with first extension arms. This mechanism is installed by extending the extension arm to fit the first of the window components. The sliding window is opened and closed by rotation of the motor and the telescoping drive.

A latching system for securing a door to a panel includes a pawl having a first end that is configured to releasably engage a striker on the panel, and a second end opposite the first end having a connector. A pawl connector is connected to the connector on the second end of the pawl. The pawl connector includes a hollow cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis, a revolved outer side wall extending about the longitudinal axis, an open end through which the connector of the pawl is positioned, an opening defined on the revolved side wall of the cylindrical body, and a deformable portion formed on the revolved outer side wall. The deformable portion extends between the open end and the opening. The deformable portion is configured to elastically deform upon inserting the connector through the open end until the connector is non-removably seated within the opening.

A passage barrier includes two guide elements that cooperate such that they define a gate region, through which a person passes from an entrance region into a passage region. The passage barrier has a drive with a drive unit and an output unit. The drive unit, output unit, and a barrier element are operatively connected such that the barrier element is movable via the drive unit into a position closing and a position opening the gate region. The output unit has a hollow shaft with outer and inner shell surfaces. The inner shell surface and drive unit are configured such that the inner shell surface surrounds the drive unit and the hollow shaft has a mount for fixing the barrier element on the hollow shaft. The mount is arranged on the outer shell surface and formed integrally with the hollow shaft.

A direct swing leaf actuator for actuating a swing leaf of a door includes a receiving box for arrangement in or on a stationary part of the leaf system or of a building having the leaf system, and includes a driven shaft, which interacts with an actuator unit, wherein a swing leaf can be placed on the driven shaft in a torque-transmitting manner. A device is present for adjusting the spatial position of the driven shaft relative to the receiving box. The device has an adjusting frame with a height-adjusting unit, wherein the adjusting frame is arranged in the receiving box and the driven shaft is received on the adjusting frame so as to be height-adjustable using the height-adjusting unit.

A drive system includes a first rotary component configured to be rotated by an actuator, a second rotary component selectively coupled to the first component, and a third rotary component selectively coupled to the first component. A coupling arrangement is configured to, in a first range of angular positions of the first component, couple the first and second components and decouple the first and third components and configured to, in a second range of angular positions of the first component that does not overlap with the first range, couple the first and third components and decouple the first and second components.

The present invention includes a body having a storage compartment defined therein, a door for opening and closing the storage compartment, a lifting member, which includes a handle and a first gear extending in a vertical direction and which is disposed at the door in a manner of being movable upward and downward, a second gear, which is disposed at the door so as to engage with the first gear, a third gear, which is disposed at the door so as to engage with the second gear, and a pushing member, which is disposed at the door so as to be movable in forward and rearward directions and which includes a fourth gear engaging with the third gear, the pushing member exerting external force on the body when the lifting member is lowered, thereby offering an advantage in that a user such as a child, who is short, can easily open the door.
