A vehicular slide door apparatus includes a guide rail forming a sliding path. A cutout portion in a side wall portion of the sliding path forms an insertion opening for a guide roller. The apparatus includes a fixing portion at a first end portion in the cutout portion, a positioning portion at a second end portion in the cutout portion, a closing member that includes a fixed end fixed to the fixing portion and a free end positioned by the positioning portion and that closes the insertion opening, and a fulcrum forming portion forming a rotation fulcrum for the closing member. The fulcrum forming portion generates biasing force of displacing the free end outward. The free end is positioned in contact against the positioning portion located on an outer side of the sliding path. Thereby, the free end and the side wall portion form a continuous sliding contact surface.

20220381076 · 2022-12-01 · ·

A door open and close mechanism for opening and closing a plurality of doors in a machine tool including a cover. The door open and close mechanism includes a linkage mechanism and a slide mechanism. The linkage mechanism is disposed between an operation door and an intermediate door. The linkage mechanism associates the intermediate door with the opening and closing of the operation door. The slide mechanism is disposed between the operation door and the linkage mechanism. The slide mechanism enables the operation door alone to open and close by a predetermined moving distance. When the operation door is operated to open and close within the moving distance, the operation door alone opens and closes by the slide mechanism When the operation door is operated to open and close beyond the moving distance, the intermediate door opens and closes in association through the linkage mechanism.

GUIDE RAIL

A guide rail includes: a first rail that has a bottom wall on which a load roller rolls and supports the weight of a sliding door; a second rail that has side walls on which two guide rollers roll and defines a moving direction of the sliding door; and a first restriction part that restricts the motion of the load roller in an axial direction.

Elevator landing door assembly and its installation method

The invention relates to an elevator landing door assembly and a method for installing an elevator landing door. The landing door assembly comprises at least a landing door unit to be assembled to a landing door base opening having an upper edge, two side edges and a lower edge, which landing door unit comprises at least a top track and one or more door panels suspended by the top track through one or more supporting elements, and a door sill.

Sunroof device

In a sunroof device, each support member and each driving shoe include a pressing portion and an elastic body, respectively, that, when the driving shoe moves from a first position toward a second position, come close to each other and, when the driving shoe is positioned between the second position and a third position, come into contact with each other. When the driving shoe is positioned between the second position and the third position, the pressing portion presses the elastic body in a direction perpendicular to a width direction. A length in the width direction of the elastic body is longer than the pressing portion.

SLIDING DOOR WITH BRAKING SYSTEM
20230088843 · 2023-03-23 ·

A sliding door assembly includes a door frame with a top trim member, a bottom sill, and side jambs connected between the top trim member and the bottom sill, and a primary sliding panel secured in the door frame. The top trim member includes a track configured to support a weight of the primary sliding panel and prevent the primary sliding panel from coming off the track. Other features include an interlock mechanism to limit relative movement using multiple sliding doors and a brake mechanism to secure the doors in position when the door handle is released. A drop window includes features to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances and box frame assemblies that are out of square.

SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM, SLIDING DOOR AND BUFFER DEVICE
20230071029 · 2023-03-09 · ·

The sliding door system includes a sliding door, displaceable along a running rail relative to a stationary activation member up to a closing position; which includes a door leaf equipped with an activatable sealing device including an extractable sealing strip and actuating element equipped with a transmission device including a transmission element; and includes at least two carriages, including a carriage body and running elements connected to the door leaf, and are held in the running rail displaceable in parallel to the longitudinal axis of the running rail; wherein the activation member and transmission device are arranged so that, when the sliding door enters the closing position, a force can be transmitted from the activation member via the transmission element to the actuating element in order to drive out the sealing strip. A stationary buffer device stops the sliding door in the closing position and includes the activation member.

Method of Installation of a Gate Opener Assembly
20230130222 · 2023-04-27 ·

A gate opener assembly is comprised of a gate and an anchor assembly having a platform. A plurality of track assemblies on the platform provide a track on which the gate may slide from a first position (closed) to a second position (open) and any position in between. A guidepost having a “Shepherd's hook” configuration guides the gate as the gate passes therethrough. A pair of rollers within the interior of the top of the guidepost makes continuous contact with each side of the top of the gate both while the gate is stationary and in motion. A gate opener controller contains the required electrical connections to fully the operate gate opener assembly. Subterrain anchor supports provide the necessary support for the gate opener assembly. An alternative embodiment accommodates nontraditional configured gates. Installation of the gate opener assembly is performed by do-it-yourselfers in minimal time.
