[Problem] To provide a safety device for a sliding door with which finger pinching can be automatically prevented without manually operating a stopper, and which can be smoothly closed without a resistance that acts when closing the sliding door. [Solution] A safety device for a sliding door is provided with a guide frame 11 and a feed plate 12 that are mounted on the opening side and the sliding door side, respectively, so as to face each other. A low-speed movement groove 38a and a lock groove 38b are provided on the guide frame 11 side. A contact face 12c that is inclined to contact a disk roller is provided on the feed plate 12 side. In addition, when the feed plate 12 collides with the disk roller 14 at a force stronger than or equal to a prescribed value, the shaft 14b of the disk roller 14 is moved from inside the low-speed movement groove 38a to inside the lock groove 38b and the movement of the disk roller 14 in the left-right direction is locked.

A tailgate control system for a vehicle includes a spindle and a coupling member fixedly coupled to a tailgate of the vehicle, the coupling member having a slot formed therein. A portion of the spindle is coupled to the coupling member along the slot so as to enable relative movement between the portion of the spindle and the coupling member along the slot, and such that extension of the spindle causes a force on the coupling member which causes a closing motion of the tailgate. The portion of the spindle is also coupled to the coupling member such that a manually-generated closing motion of the tailgate causes a change in a position of the portion of the spindle along the slot, in a first direction along the slot.

A door system comprises a door frame adapted to be mounted within an opening, a door pivotally attached to the door frame, an AC/DC converter configured to be electrically connected to an AC power unit operably associated with the door system, a slot in the door, a pre-wired receptacle disposed in the slot, and a DC electric device removably disposed in the pre-wired receptacle and electrically connected to the AC/DC converter through the electrical connector of the pre-wired receptacle. The pre-wired receptacle comprises an electrical connector electrically connected the AC/DC converter.

A door opening assembly is provided for moving a door of a vehicle between an open position and a closed position. The assembly includes a frame member coupled to the vehicle, a link is coupled to the frame member, and a link arm pivotally coupled to the link. A pivot arm is pivotally coupled to the frame member and a pivot bracket is pivotally coupled to the door and the pivot arm. The pivot bracket includes a slot such that a pin on the link arm slides therethrough. The assembly includes a gear rack and a gear operably coupled to the gear rack. The gear is driven by a motor as the door moves between its open and closed positions. The assembly further includes a guide track coupled to the vehicle and a roller rotatably driven along the guide track as the door moves between its open and closed positions.

A hinge device includes a first connection means (3) configured to fixed to a structure or frame and rotatably connected to a second connection means (5) configured to fixed to a door device (1) comprises at least one interconnecting means (7) connected to a sliding means (13) and a friction means (17) with at least one friction sliding block (25) secured to the sliding means (13) and sliding along a respective sliding wall (27) of the first connection means (3) and parallel to a direction of translation of the sliding means (13), wherein at least one arrest means (19) is fixed to or made in the first connection means (3) in proximity to a sliding wall (27) to abut with the sliding means (13) to arrest its stroke towards the closing of the door or of the shutter in correspondence an ajar or breather opening condition (S).

A seamless hinge including two fixing frames, a shaft, and a carrying frame. The shaft is pivotally connected to the two fixing frames and has a gear portion located between the two fixing frames. The carrying frame is slidably disposed in the two fixing frames and has a rack portion engaged with the gear portion. The carrying frame is adapted to slide in an angular range relative to the two fixing frames and the shaft is driven by the rack portion, so that the carrying frame is pivotally rotated along a virtual axis.

A door keeper, for keeping a door opening angle of a door within a predetermined angle, includes a hinge bracket attached to a support structure; a keeper plate having a bracket side end portion pivotally mounted to the hinge bracket, a door side end portion, and a keeper guide slot having a door side slot end portion disposed proximate to the door side end portion of the keeper plate, the keeper guide slot extending from the door side slot end portion to an opposite slot end portion disposed at a location between the bracket side end portion and the door side end portion of the keeper plate; and a keeper member movably disposed in the keeper guide slot and fixedly attached to a lower part of the door. An opening motion of the door stops when the door side slot end portion engages the keeper member.

A motorized hinge device (1) has a first connection means (3) assigned to be fixed to a structure or framework of an appliance, and connected, at least by means of a connecting rod means (5), to a second connection means (7) assigned to be fixed to a door of the appliance. This second connection means (7) is hinged to the first connection means (3) by means of a hinge pin means (11). An actuator (13) has a body (15) fixed to the first connection means (3) and a movable member (17) which is movable with respect to the body (15) and is connected to the connecting rod means (5). In an operative condition, the actuator means (13) is operated to move, by means of the connecting rod means (5), the door around the hinge pin means (11) between extreme opening (A) and closing (C) conditions, and vice versa.
