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 drive system for operation of a roll top cover for covering a cargo bed of a vehicle enables improved and smoother roll top cover movement. The drive system includes: an elongate housing that defines a longitudinal axis and first and second ends, the housing including an axially extending aperture for receiving the roll top cover therethrough; first and second receiving plates disposed transversely within the housing at the respective first and second ends thereof, the receiving plates comprising opposed spiral-shaped slots extending therethrough, each of the spiral-shaped slots having an open end proximally and a closed end distally; and a drive shaft assembly disposed within the housing and extending axially between the first and second ends thereof; wherein the drive shaft assembly is adapted for being operably connected to a drive chain and driving movement thereof within the spiral-shaped slots during operation of the roll top cover.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a swing-in type of door structure of a vehicle that includes a door disposed in parallel at both sides of an entrance of a vehicle, and a door arm mounted on one side of the door to open or close the door by rotation, including: a center door bracket of which one end is fixed to one surface of an upper center of the door and that extends in a direction perpendicular to the door; a roller bracket of which one end is coupled to the other end of the center door bracket in a direction perpendicular to the center door bracket; and a roller mounted on the other end of the roller bracket and coupled to be rolled and rotated while in contact with a rail formed on a vehicle body of an upper side of the door.

A window regulator assembly of a vehicle, wherein the window regulator assembly includes a carrier element. At least one pulley arrangement for redirecting a cable is mounted at the carrier element. The pulley arrangement includes a pulley which is arranged rotatable on a bearing element, which bearing element is mounted on the carrier element. The bearing element is formed by a section of a screw. The screw has adjacent to the bearing element a first thread with a first thread diameter designed to be engaged with a threaded bore in the carrier element. The screw has a second thread adjacent to the first thread with a second thread diameter that is smaller than the first thread diameter. The first thread is a self-tapping thread, which is directly screwed into the material of the carrier element.

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.

An access control system for restricting access through a passageway includes a shaft rotatable about a central axis; a barrier fixed to the shaft to rotate therewith; and a brake assembly. The brake assembly includes a sun gear rotatable about the central axis, a carrier, and a ring gear, wherein one of the carrier or the ring gear is fixed against rotation and the other of the carrier or ring gear is connected to the shaft to rotate therewith. A plurality of planet gears are rotatably connected to the carrier, each planet gear being disposed between and engaging with each of the sun gear and the ring gear. The armature of an electromagnetic brake comprising an electromagnet and an armature is connected to or integral with the sun gear to rotate therewith. At least one of the electromagnet or the armature is moveable between an operative and an inoperative position.

A linear stem (3) guides a sliding door (11), which is dragged by a magnetic drive unit between an operating position (W), in which it covers and closes an access mouth (20) to an internal compartment (21) of a sterilizer (1), and an inoperative or opening (N), in which the door (11) moves to a position next to the access mouth (20), thus making it accessible from the outside.

The sliding door (11) is operated by movement members (5), comprising a linear module (50), adapted to house a transmission belt (52) stretched between two return wheels (53), one of which is driven by an electric gearmotor (54); a branch of the transmission belt (52) carries a slider (55) with a permanent magnet (56), facing a magnetic plate (6) fixed to the sliding door (11) which is dragged by the magnetic field generated by the cursor (55) in motion.

A window regulator for raising and lowering a window of a vehicle, including: a first guide rail; a first cursor slidably mounted to the first guide rail; a second guide rail spaced from the first guide rail; a second cursor slidably mounted to the second guide rail; a flange portion mounted to a bottom end of the first guide rail, wherein the flange portion has a rail mounting portion and an arm portion extending from the rail mounting portion and a mounting portion extending from the arm portion; and a motor operably coupled to the first cursor and the second cursor such that operation of the motor will cause the first cursor to slide along the first guide rail and second cursor to slide along the second guide rail, the motor being mounted to the mounting portion, wherein the motor when mounted to the mounting portion is located adjacent to a side of the first guide rail located between the bottom end of the first guide rail and a top end of the first guide rail.

A movable barrier operator includes a first side panel having a first opening and a second side panel, opposing the first side panel, where the second side panel has a second opening. The operator further includes a motor having a first side and an opposing second side including a first shaft extending in a first direction and a second shaft of the motor extending in a second opposite direction. The operator further includes a first bearing, the first bearing inserted into the first opening of the first side panel, wherein the first shaft of the motor is inserted through the first bearing and a second bearing, the second bearing inserted into the second opening of the second side panel, wherein the second shaft of the motor is inserted through the second bearing to thereby prevent transfer of vibration from the motor to the second side panel.
