A horizontal garage door assembly includes a plurality of panels, which are pivotally connected at adjacent side edges. A top rail receives the plurality of panels and includes a first straight portion, a curved portion, and a second straight portion. A motor is positioned at a first end of the first straight portion, a tensioning mechanism is disposed on a first panel, a gear mechanism is positioned at a second end of the first straight portion. A connecting band connects the motor, the gear mechanism, and the tensioning mechanism to form a loop along a length of the top rail. The motor drives the connecting band such that the plurality of panels moves between a closed position, in which the plurality of panels is substantially received in the first straight portion, and an open position, in which the plurality of panels is substantially received in the second straight portion.

To provide a power slide window in which the projecting dimension of the guide rail from the panel surface is small, the guide rail (4) defines a pin guide groove (26) that includes a groove main portion (26a) extending along a panel surface (2b) and at least one groove extension portion (26b) configured to drive a slide panel (3) in a direction to approach the window glass pane (2) via a pin (16) when the slide panel reaches the vicinity of the closed position. A slider guide groove (27) provided in the guide rail 4 to allow sliding of the slider 20 which is slidingly driven in the opening and closing direction and a groove main portion (26a) of a pin guide groove (26) are formed at least partially in common with each other.

A door opening and closing apparatus includes a rail module including: a rail member extending along a front-and-rear direction; a drive device mounted on the rail member; and a supporting member coupled to one end portion of a closing cable the other end portion of which is connected to the drive device and one end portion of an opening cable the other end portion of which is connected to the drive device. The rail module is provided with the drive device fastened to an outside of a vehicle body such that a part of the drive device goes inside the vehicle body through an opening provided on the vehicle body. A portion of a housing of the drive device located outside the vehicle body closes the opening while a sealing member is interposed therein.

A window assembly may include a pane movable between open and closed positions, a cam having a cam surface, and a cam follower coupled to the movable pane for movement relative to the cam surface and engageable with the cam surface when the movable pane is near or in the closed position. The cam surface may be inclined toward a seal to direct the movable pane into the seal when the movable pane moves into the closed position. The cam surface may include a linear portion that extends along at least a majority of the path of travel of the movable pane. The cam follower may remain engaged with the cam surface throughout a desired portion of the path of travel of the movable pane.

It is aimed to provide a railway vehicle plug door device capable of easily ensuring airtightness between a side structure body and a door leaf even if the railway vehicle plug door device is installed in a side structure body having a structure assembled by joining structural members by welding and including a bent part. A frame body is mounted on a part constituting an entrance in a side structure body by a mechanical fastening structure. A seal member is mounted on at least one of a door leaf and the frame body and held in close contact with both the door leaf and the frame body when the door leaf closes the entrance.

One object is to provide a plug door device that can make a contribution to a size reduction thereof, while suppressing a decrease in airtightness of a door. A plug door device is provided with an electric motor, a plug operation portion that moves a door in a width direction of a vehicle, a front-back operation portion that moves the door in a front-back direction of the vehicle, a movement suppressing portion that can suppress movement of the door in the front-back direction, and a planetary gear mechanism that distributes a drive force of the electric motor to the plug operation portion when movement of the door in the front-back direction is suppressed by the movement suppressing portion, and distributes a drive force of the electric motor to the front-back operation portion when movement of the door in the front-back direction is not suppressed by the movement suppressing portion.
