The vehicle door module according to the present invention is provided with: a base attached to an opening of an inner panel; a window glass raising/lowering device attached to the base, the window glass raising/lowering device provided with a window glass cable for pulling a window glass, a window glass drum for winding the window glass cable, a window glass raising/lowering motor for rotating the window glass drum, and at least one pulley for guiding the window glass cable; and a support for supporting the pulley, the support being provided to the base and supported by an edge part of the opening of the inner panel.

An emergency door closing device that can be installed upon existing doors and hinges to automatically close doors in the response to smoke and fire. The improvements incorporated therein include a hinge cam pivot member that attaches to an existing hinge member of a door and produces a moment force about the existing hinge member allowing a reduced force necessary to pivot the door into a closed position. Further, a novel spring, cam, and lever system is incorporated to activate the moment force to close the door.

A tensioning device for a door operating system includes a pulley carriage on which a pulley of the door operating system is mounted for rotation, the pulley carriage being movable relative to a track of the door operating system. The tensioning device further includes an adjuster configured to move the pulley carriage relative to the track and thereby alter a level of tension in a longitudinal drive component of the door operating system, the adjuster of the tensioning device being accessible from an end of the tensioning device facing a track operator end of the door operating system. The tensioning device also includes a resilient member operatively engaged with the adjuster, the resilient member configured to provide damping of forces experienced by the longitudinal drive component.

A power window actuator includes a carrier element having an opening, a cable drum includes a portion is inserted into the opening of the carrier element in such a manner that the portion at least partially extends through the opening, and a cable exit housing disposed on a first side of the carrier element includes a bearing element supporting the cable drum on the first side of the carrier element so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis. At least one bearing element projects radially with respect to the rotation axis from the portion, the bearing element engaging a counter bearing on a periphery of the carrier element surrounding the opening of the carrier element.

A mechanism for opening and closing an overhead door includes a drive loop coupled to the overhead door, a motor with a drive shaft and a drive wheel for driving the drive loop. A one-way bearing couples the drive shaft to the drive wheel, which one-way bearing is configured to transmit torque from the motor to the drive wheel, as the motor rotates the drive shaft in a first rotational direction to raise the overhead door, and configured so that torque is not transmitted to the drive wheel as the motor rotates the drive shaft in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. As a result, the motor applies torque through the one-way bearing to raise the overhead door and to support the weight of the overhead door while lowering the overhead door.

A vertical pivoting gate operator for positioning a gate between an open position and a closed position is provided. The gate operator includes a motor drive assembly including a motor and a linkage assembly mechanically connecting a motor output to the gate such that in response to actuation of the motor, the linkage assembly transmits an opening force to positioning the gate toward the open position, and a closing force, for positioning the gate toward the closed position. A counterbalance assembly including a biasing member is operable to release stored energy against an input link to rotate a gate arm shaft so as to urge the gate toward the open position and to increase stored energy in response to rotation of the gate traveling toward the closed position to act against the gate as it approaches the closed position.

A cable guide assembly adapted for use with a guide rail for a motor vehicle, for redirecting a cable of a window regulator, includes a cable guide formed with an outer perimeter and a cable guide receiving site formed in the guide rail adapted to receive and mount the cable guide. The cable guide includes a cable guide groove to guide the cable wrapping around the cable guide and a generally circular interior cavity to mount to the guide rail. In the cable guide assembly, the cable guide is securely engaged with a center support in the cable guide receiving site and rotatable between two rotatable positions, a temporary holding position and a final position. In the temporary holding position, the cable is at a first tension and the cable is at a second tension higher than the first tension in the final position.

A devices for touchless operation of a product outlet door of a vending machine includes a frame mountable within an interior of a vending machine; a lever comprising a lever rod coupled to the frame and rotatable with respect to the frame about a lever rod rotation axis, wherein the lever rod is couplable to the product outlet door of the vending machine; and an actuator configured to rotate the lever rod from a first lever rod position to a second lever rod position to cause the product outlet door to rotate about its rotation axis from its closed position to its open position so as to open the product outlet door.

A panel system for closing and opening a merchandise space of a refrigerated cabinet includes multiple movable panels. Each panel is movable between an open position and a closed position. Two of the panel are connected to form a pair of panels. A return mechanism is arranged above the pair of panels and a pulling mechanism is guided over the deflection mechanism and connects the two panels in the pair. Each panel of the pair is disposed with respect to the deflection mechanism so that a movement of one panel in a first movement direction effectuates a movement of the second panel in a second movement direction. A refrigerated cabinet includes such a panel system.

A fuel filler flap module of a motor vehicle includes a carrier, a fuel filler flap which is pivotably mounted on the carrier and is designed to be movable between a closed position and an open position, and a movement mechanism designed to move the fuel filler flap from the closed position into the open position and back into the closed position. The movement mechanism has a mechanical deployment element which is arranged on the carrier and which is designed to exert a deployment force acting into the open position on the fuel filler flap, wherein the movement mechanism has a motor-driven deployment means which is designed to push the fuel filler flap with an auxiliary force from the closed position up to an initial deployment position, which lies between the closed position and the open position, wherein the auxiliary force is greater than the deployment force.
