A power actuation system for a motor vehicle closure panel includes a motor operable to pivot a driven gear. At least one pawl assembly is operably supported by the driven gear for movement between a lever driving position, whereat the pawl assembly is positioned to pivot a lever coupled to the door to pivot the door concurrently with movement of the driven gear, and a lever releasing position, whereat the pawl assembly is positioned to permit free pivotal movement of the lever and door relative to the driven gear. The pawl assembly includes a roller engaged with the lever for rolling movement therealong during movement of the pawl assembly between the lever driving position and the lever releasing position, which results in minimal static and kinetic friction, thereby lending to reliable, low effort movement of the pawl assembly between the lever driving position and the lever releasing position.

The present invention relates to the technical field of spring hinges, and to a silent spring hinge, which addresses the technical shortcoming that relatively high noise is generated when an existing spring hinge used in a household appliance drives a cabinet door to close. The silent spring hinge includes a fixing base, a hinge arm and a spring assembly, a damping assembly corresponding to a side edge of a rotating wheel being further provided on the fixing base, the damping assembly including a sleeve body, a steel ball, a spring and a lock nut, an outer wall of the sleeve body being snap-fitted on the fixing base, the steel ball, the spring and the lock nut being mounted within the sleeve body in sequence, a portion of the steel ball being exposed from the sleeve body and being elastically connected to the side edge of the rotating wheel, and a deceleration groove and a self-locking groove mated with the steel ball at a final stage of the process of closing a cabinet door being provided on a gear edge of the rotating wheel. By means of the present invention, the closing speed of the cabinet door is effectively reduced, and an effect of damping is achieved, such that the cabinet door is closed in a more stable manner, and a force of the spring assembly is not affected after the spring assembly drives the cabinet door to close. The present invention is particularly suitable for use on such products as ovens and microwave ovens.

An opening and closing device for a vehicle sliding door, including: a latch; a ratchet; a power closer; a closing lever configured to rotate the latch in a closing direction from a half latched position to a fully latched position, by being rotated by motor power of the power closer; a cancel lever configured to shift between: a coupling position where rotation of the closing lever is transmitted to the latch; and a cancel position where rotation of the closing lever is not transmitted to the latch; and a first lever and a second lever configured to move the cancel lever from the coupling position to the cancel position by operation of an operating handle of a sliding door, wherein the cancel lever includes a non-flat reinforced contacting part to which the first lever and the second lever are independently configured to brought into contact.

A window regulator includes: a base assembled to a vehicle; a bracket configured to support window glass; an arm member having one end side rotatably supported by the base and the other end side rotatably supported by the bracket; and a driving member configured to drive, by rotationally driving the arm member, the bracket configured to support the window glass. At least one of a rotation center axis on the one end side of the arm member and a rotation center axis on the other end side of the arm member is inclined in a vehicle front-rear direction with respect to a vehicle width direction when viewed from a vehicle upper-lower direction.

The present invention relates to the technical field of spring hinges, and to a gear structure spring hinge, which addresses the technical shortcoming that a closing speed is excessively high when an existing spring hinge used in a household appliance drives a cabinet door to close. The gear structure spring hinge comprises a fixing base and a hinge arm, the fixing base being connected to a first gear through a first gear shaft, a crank shaft being provided on a gear surface of the first gear, the crank shaft being movably connected to a pull rod, a spring assembly being sleeved on the pull rod, a front end of the spring assembly being mated with and snap-fitted to the fixing base; and the hinge arm includes a connecting arm and a second gear, the second gear being provided on an end of the connecting arm, the second gear and the connecting arm forming an integral structure, the second gear being connected to the fixing base through a second gear shaft, the second gear being meshed with the first gear. Compared to the existing spring hinge, by means of the present invention, the closing speed of the cabinet door is effectively reduced, and an effect of damping is achieved, such that the cabinet door is closed in a more stable manner, and a force of the spring assembly is not affected after the spring assembly drives the cabinet door to close. The present invention is particularly suitable for use on such products as ovens and microwave ovens.

A hinge used for being installed between a door leaf and a door frame or between a sash and a window frame (7). The hinge includes a gear and rack unit and an inclined draw bar (1). The gear and rack unit is installed on the door frame or window frame (7). A gear (5) is rotatably installed on the door frame or window frame (7). A rack is located on one side of the gear (5). The gear (5) is meshed with the rack. A gear installation portion (51) is arranged on one side of the gear (5). Both ends of the inclined draw bar (1) are installed on the door leaf and door frame or the sash and window frame (7) respectively. According to the present invention, the problem that the existing hinge is unreasonably stressed and prone to damage is effectively solved.

A system for transferring torque with zero lash from a driver to a driven object is provided. The system includes a shaft disposed about a rotational axis and a hub defining a bore that receives the shaft. The shaft and hub are each configured for coupling to one of the driver and driven object. The shaft defines a flat on a radially outer surface and the hub defines a flat on a radially inner surface opposing the flat in the shaft. In one embodiment, the shaft includes a threaded bore and the hub includes an aligned through bore. Rotation of a threaded fastener in the bores draws the flat into engagement. In another embodiment, the hub includes a threaded through bore. Rotation of a fastener extending through the bore and engaging the shaft diametrically opposite the flats urges the flats into engagement.

Dual pivoting laterally translating hinges that attach between a stationary first substrate such as a vehicle body, and a rotating second substrate such as a vehicle door, and extend laterally when the second substrate is rotated. In some examples, the hinges include a knuckle and leadscrew mechanism that changes the hinge geometry when the second substrate is rotated, causing the leadscrew to rotate by either a set of gears or a rack and pinion. In some further examples, the hinges include a jackscrew that changes length as the second substrate is rotated, causing the hinge to extent laterally.
