WINDOW REGULATOR AND METHOD OF PRODUCING WINDOW REGULATOR
In a window regulator, and a method of producing the same, which moves a slider base along a guide rail via wires in accordance with rotation of a drum, includes a fitting portion having a first protrusion and a second protrusion provided on a drum housing which supports the drum, wherein the first protrusion protrudes from an abutting surface of the drum housing with which an end surface of the guide rail can come into contact and wherein the second protrusion protrudes from the abutting surface by a smaller amount of protrusion than that of the first protrusion, and the drum housing and the guide rail are joined by restricting movement of the guide rail in the thickness direction thereof by inserting the guide rail in between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. Workability during manufacturing of the window regulator is thereby improved.
DISPLACEMENT DEVICE WITH A MOUNTING PROFILE AND FUNCTIONAL ENTITY
The displacement device (10), which is provided for the installation in a door compartment (18) of a functional entity (1), comprises a drive device (2) preferably comprising a housing (210), a spring mechanism (211), a pull cord pulley (212) coupled to the spring mechanism (211), and a pull cord (22), which is wound onto the pull cord pulley (212) and is guided preferably via at least one deflection pulley (231, 232, 233) up to a holding element (33, 339; 72), a mounting profile (14), which is connected or connectable by mounting hinges (131) to a single-part or multi-part door (11), which is held vertically aligned and displaceable by a holding device (4); which is connected on an upper end piece to an upper guide carriage (5) that is supported displaceably on an upper guide rail (15) and/or which is connected on a lower end piece to a lower guide carriage (6) that is supported displaceably on a lower guide rail (16); and which, connected to the drive device (2), is automatically displaceable between a rear-sided end position (S2) at the rear-side of the displacement device (10) and a front-sided end position (S1) at the front-side of the displacement device (10); and
an adjustment device (3, X3), with which a pre-tension on the spring mechanism (211) of the drive device (2) can be set. According to the invention the adjustment device (3, 3X) is arranged separated from the drive device (2) and comprises an adjustment element (33, X33) which is rotatable and lockable or displaceable and lockable and which adjustment element (33, X33) cooperates with the pull cord (22) led out of the drive device (2) in such a way that the pull cord (22) is pullable out of the drive device (2) by rotation or displacement of the adjustment element (33, X33) to set a corresponding pre-tension of the spring mechanism (211).
HINGE FOR A LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
A luggage compartment hinge having a first hinge leaf with one bearing bush arranged between two second hinge leaf bushes. In an axle tube, non-rotatably connected to the first hinge leaf bush and rotatable in the second hinge leaf bearing bushes, there is a torsion spring, fastened at its first end to the axle tube and at its second end to a pretensioning adjusting element. A pivoting-movement damping element is arranged between the first and second hinge leaves. The adjusting element includes: a latching element in the second hinge leaf second bush with a ratchet wheel having an outer gear rim; a locking pawl mounted on the second bush for engagement in the outer gear rim; and a stop element which limits the rotation angle of the adjusting element. This arrangement allows the locking effect of the locking pawl to be ensured even without axial pretensioning of the torsion spring.
Ratcheting adjustable top bracket assembly for a movable barrier
A roller bracket assembly for a movable barrier includes a base bracket coupled to the movable barrier and a roller holder bracket. The roller holder bracket is rotatably coupled to the base bracket. The roller bracket assembly further includes a support bracket. The roller holder bracket includes multiple ratcheting features configured to engage with corresponding ratcheting features of the support bracket. The ratcheting features of the roller holder bracket and the support bracket allow movement of the roller holder bracket away from the movable barrier rotating relative to the base bracket, but prevent movement of the roller holder bracket toward the movable barrier.
Stabilization roller bracket for long roller stems of a movable barrier
A stabilization roller bracket is positioned adjacent to a hinge and supplements a hinge in coupling a roller to a movable barrier. The stabilization roller bracket includes a base configured to be coupled to an inner surface of the movable barrier. The base includes a main body and a frangible portion. The stabilization roller bracket also includes at least one wall extending from the base and including a plurality of stem-receiving holes, each of the plurality of stem-receiving holes spaced a different distance from the base and configured to receive a portion of a stem of a roller for the movable barrier and space the roller from the inner surface of the movable barrier.
