A door sash surrounding a window opening of a vehicle door, the door sash including: a design part located on a vehicle exterior side; a frame part located on a vehicle interior side with respect to the design part so as to form a sash interior space surrounded by a wall; and a mounting part located inside the sash interior space and to which door-related components can be mounted. According to this door sash, it is possible to achieve high functionality around the vehicle door while improving the space efficiency of the vehicle door by effectively utilizing the sash interior space as a portion to which the door-related components are mounted.

A carrier module for a motor vehicle and door assembly therewith is provided. The carrier module includes a pair of carrier members, each extending lengthwise between opposite first and second ends. The carrier members are operably coupled to one another via at least one cable, wherein at least one of the carrier members is formed of plastic material and includes at least one of, a plurality of weight reduction through openings bounded by strength and rigidity enhancing walls, at least one non-planar side having weight reduction, strength and rigidity enhancing undulations, and a plurality of strength and rigidity enhancing ribs bounding weight reduction recessed pockets.

Disclosed embodiments include a mounting apparatus for a sliding security barrier that includes unique security features that ensure the sliding security barrier is secure and does not suffer problems that exist with conventional security doors and windows. The sliding security barrier is configured to be implemented using tracks that are common to conventional sliding patio screen door or windows. Additional security features include a unique striker plate, a lift protector at a corner, adjustable top and/or bottom channel caps, an interlock, and a uniquely shaped lock. These features provide greater security at a lower cost because they use an existing sliding door or window sash and channels but provide a secure attachment that inhibits tampering and removal of the sliding screen barrier.

A spindle drive for a closure element of a motor vehicle, wherein a drive unit and a spindle/spindle nut transmission with the spindle/spindle nut transmission comprising a spindle and a spindle nut drivingly connected downstream of the drive unit and having a geometrical axis running in the axial direction for generating linear drive motions between a drive connection to the spindle and a drive connection to the nut. A tubular casing part may be provided that extends along the spindle axis and forms a receptacle for at least one of a plurality of components of the spindle drive axially mounted on the spindle drive connection and arranged in a row in the axial direction. When the spindle drive is mounted, the at least one component is interlockingly inset into the tubular casing part relative to the circumferential direction.

A pivot assembly for supporting a pivot door within a door frame includes a bottom bracket and a lower adjustment assembly that includes a pivot member. The pivot member includes a ramp inclined at an angle to a rotation axis, and a traveling assembly positionable along the ramp of the pivot member. The traveling assembly includes a traveling body, a dowel adapted to move along the ramp, and a threaded adjustment rod. The lower adjustment assembly also includes a locking fastener that is adjustable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. In the unlocked configuration, rotation of the adjustment rod causes movement of the traveling assembly vertically relative to the pivot member, thereby permitting a beam of the pivot door to move vertically relative to the pivot member.

A folding panel system that allows foldable panels, such as folding glass doors, to fold and move around segmented tracks. The system includes a trolley assembly. The trolley assembly can include a pair of dual roller assemblies spaced rigidly apart by a rigid guide member and supported by an overhead guide track. The rigid guide member is positioned outside of the guide track and moves lengthwise along the overhead guide track except between overhead linear track segments. A hinge extension is secured to and extends rigidly away from the rigid guide member vertically away from the guide track. This configuration holds the hinge extension at a constant angle with respect to the guide track. The hinge extension pivotably joins hinge leaves from adjacent panels hingedly joining the two panels.

An apparatus for raising and lowering a window in an automobile includes a cursor configured to be connected to the window and a guide rail having a hollow tube along which the cursor travels to raise and lower the window.

A carrier module for a motor vehicle and door assembly therewith is provided. The carrier module includes a pair of carrier members, each extending lengthwise between opposite first and second ends. The carrier members are operably coupled to one another via at least one cable, wherein at least one of the carrier members is formed of plastic material and includes at least one of, a plurality of weight reduction through openings bounded by strength and rigidity enhancing walls, at least one non-planar side having weight reduction, strength and rigidity enhancing undulations, and a plurality of strength and rigidity enhancing ribs bounding weight reduction recessed pockets.

A fastening system includes a profile with a groove, a fastening piece, at least two clamping pieces, and at least two fasteners. Each of the at least two fasteners act in a direction of force and cooperate with the at least two clamping pieces. The profile provides a first contact surface for each of the at least two clamping pieces. The fastening piece provides a second contact surface for each of the at least two clamping pieces.

A fastening system includes a profile, a fastening piece, at least two clamping pieces, at least two fasteners, and an elastic element which acts on each of the at least two clamping pieces. Each of the at least two fasteners acts in a direction of force and cooperates with a respective one of the at least two clamping pieces. The profile provides a first contact surface for each of the at least two clamping pieces. The fastening piece provides a second contact surface for each of the at least two clamping pieces.
