The technology relates to assisting in the closing of a vehicle door by automatically pulling a door closed. One or more computing devices having one or more processors may receive, from one or more sensors, information indicating that a door on the vehicle is not closed. In response to the received information indicating that the door is not closed, the one or more computing devices may determine to send a triggering signal to close the door. The one or more computing devices may send the triggering signal to the actuator and the actuator may receive the triggering signal. In response to receiving the triggering signal the actuator may be activated to close the door of the vehicle without user input.

A vehicle window regulator includes a slider base supported on a guide rail; a drive wire connected to the slider base; a wire guide supported at one end of the guide rail and having a winding part, onto which the drive wire is wound, at a position offset from the guide rail in a vehicle width direction; and a driver which raises and lowers the slider base via the drive wire. The wire guide is supported by the guide rail by a retainer and a pressing portion, the retainer engaged with the guide rail, and the pressing portion being engaged with the guide rail to press the guide rail toward the other end of the guide rail. The pressing portion is formed at a position toward the other end and formed at a position offset from the retainer toward the winding part.

A motor vehicle drive assembly which is equipped with a drive element and an abutment, and also with at least one spring between the drive element and the abutment. In addition, there is at least one drive element sensor which, depending on the application of force by the drive element counter to the force of the spring and an associated relative movement between the drive element and the abutment, transmits sensor signals to a control unites. According to the invention, the drive element sensor, depending on the application of force by the drive element, generates different force-dependent, sliding sensor signals which are evaluated by the control unites, for example to drive an actuating element.

A vehicular slider window assembly includes a frame portion having an upper rail and a lower rail, a fixed window panel, and a movable window panel that is movable along the rails between an opened position and a closed position. A drive system is operable to move the movable window panel between the opened position and the closed position. The drive system includes a single flexible drive element that, when the drive system is actuated to move the window panel in one direction, the flexible drive element pulls the movable window panel along the rails, and when the drive system is actuated to move the window panel in the opposite direction, the flexible drive element pushes the movable window panel along the rails. The lower rail includes guide structure that limits flexing of the flexible drive element when the flexible drive element pushes the movable window panel along the rails.

A tilting door assembly having a door frame and a door leaf arranged to move from a vertical closed position to a horizontal open position about a horizontal tilt axis. A plurality of fixed guide tracks guide movement of the door leaf between the open and closed positions. A counterweight is provided, with a sheave and cable system arranged between the door leaf and the counterweight and a winch coupled to the counterweight via a winch cable. The winch is operable to open and close the door such that raising the counterweight moves the door towards the closed position, and lowering the counterweight moves the door towards the open position. The counterweight has a mass that is greater than a mass of the door leaf.

The present invention relates to a window regulator, and includes a guide rail provided inside a door, a pulley bracket that is fixed to the guide rail and to which a pulley that changes a moving direction of a cable is axially coupled, and a stress distribution unit configured to distribute a stress applied to the pulley.

A device for closing (1) a bay arranged in a structure comprises a support (7) intended to receive a drive device (8) and to be fixed to said structure. The support (7) comprises a plate (10), intended to be fixed to said structure and receive said drive device (8) and a cover (12), receiving a coupling portion (60) of a transmission means (6) towards the bay. The support (7) is capable of assuming at least one free state, wherein the cover (12) and the plate (10) are free in translation in relation to one another; and a locked state, in which the cover (12) and the plate (10) are immobile in relation to one another.
