A window regulator includes a carrier plate to support a window glass of a vehicle, a guide rail along an ascending/descending direction of the window glass to slidably support the carrier plate, a wire to pull the carrier plate, a driving portion arranged at one end of the guide rail in the ascending/descending direction to drive the wire, and a turnaround portion arranged at an other end of the guide rail in the ascending/descending direction to turn the wire around. The wire arranged between the turnaround portion and the carrier plate is positioned shifted from the guide rail. The wire arranged between the driving portion and the turnaround portion is positioned on the guide rail to push and contact the guide rail.

A window regulator includes a carrier plate, a guide rail, an ascending-side wire and a descending-side wire, a driving portion, and a turnaround portion. The driving portion includes a rotating drum, a reducer, and a driving motor including a yoke portion that is arranged to be adjacent to one side of the reducer in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the ascending/descending direction. The guide rail is arranged so as to in the orthogonal direction overlap only the ascending-side wire fed out from a first wire feeding-out position at the one side of the rotating drum in the orthogonal direction toward the turnaround portion between the ascending-side wire and the descending-side wire fed out from a second wire feeding-out position at an other side of the rotating drum in the orthogonal direction toward the carrier plate.

A rotatable suspension rail background system with multiple panels is an apparatus that maximizes the amount of background options in a studio area in an indoor or outdoor area for a photoshoot or video shoot. The apparatus includes track system and at least one background assembly. The track system defines a path for each of the plurality of background assemblies and guides each of the at least one background assembly across the studio area. The track system includes an upper main rail, an upper supplementary rail, and an upper raceway. The at least one background assembly provides various visual backgrounds for a photograph or video. More specifically, the apparatus further includes a first background sheet fixed across a first panel face of a support panel of the at least one background assembly. The apparatus further includes a second background sheet fixed across a second panel face of the support panel.

A pivoting cursor for a frameless window. A pivoting cursor for a frameless window of a vehicle door, including: a main body portion; a pivoting plate pivotally secured to the main body portion for pivotal movement about an axis; a clamping plate; a seal; and a threaded adjuster for pivoting the pivoting plate with respect to the main body portion.

Disclosed herein is a roller assembly for a sliding panel, the roller assembly including at least one roller sub-assembly having at least one roller wheel, the roller sub-assembly comprising at least one pivotal arm and a roller wheel rotatably mounted to the arm, wherein one end of the arm is configured for pivotally attachment to the support to permit the arm and roller wheel to pivot relative to the support in a vertical plane and the opposite end of the arm has resilient suspension means configured to allow resilient pivotal movement of said opposite end relative to the support when a force is applied to the roller wheel.

In a window regulator which moves a slider base, slidable along a guide rail, via a pair of wires, the slider base includes: a guide portion which is fitted to the guide rail to be movable in the longitudinal direction thereof; first and second wire engaging portions with which ends of the wires are engaged, respectively; and first and second force application portions which receive a force in a moving direction of the slider base from the wires, and the guide portion is positioned in at least one of the areas between the first force application portion and the first wire engaging portion and between the second force application portion and the second wire engaging portion in the widthwise direction of the guide rail. This makes it possible to obtain a window regulator which is superior in smoothness of operation and operating efficiency of the slider base.

Apparatuses, such as shower door frame kits, for installing sliding shower door assemblies are provided. The apparatuses enable secure and convenient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies, while keeping water that may escape a shower area to a minimum. The apparatuses of the present disclosure also provide for efficient installation of the sliding shower door assemblies that can be completed with a single tool and/or in a single step. The apparatuses for installing sliding shower door assemblies may include one or more of a shower door header, a wall jamb, a shower header retainer, a shower door catcher, a roller assembly, a corner bracket, and a shower threshold.

A window regulator assembly in a vehicle includes a glass lift plate assembly for moving a window glass up and down along the guide rail. The glass lift plate assembly includes a slider base, a glass holder configured to receive and hold the window glass, and an attachment bracket placed on the glass holder to securely hold the window glass. The glass holder includes an inboard part and an outboard part, and is connected to the slider base by an adjustment member, which is configured to adjust a top edge of the window glass. Further, the window glass is placed between the inboard part and the outboard part of the glass holder and also fixedly held by an attachment fastener. The inboard part of the glass holder slidably moves relative to the outboard part of the glass holder by the rotational movement of the adjustment member.

A method for driving an electromechanical sliding door in a transportation vehicle, wherein the sliding door has an adjusting mechanism with a rolling carriage guided in a guide rail and a first electric drive motor. A fixing mechanism with a second electric drive motor and also a locking mechanism is also provided, which locking mechanism allows the rolling carriage to be arrested in any desired position. Here, the locking mechanism is driven by the second electric drive motor. The method may include driving the second electric drive motor with an input voltage which lies below a threshold voltage for tripping the locking mechanism, continuously increasing the input voltage for the second electric drive motor, and locking the locking mechanism when the input voltage for the second electric drive motor exceeds the threshold voltage for tripping the locking mechanism.

A sliding panel system is disclosed. The system includes a fitting assembly designed to fixedly secure a first panel to an elongate rail member, and a carrier assembly designed to moveably secure a second panel to the elongate rail member. The system facilitates the lateral movement of the second panel with respect to the first panel. The carrier assembly includes at least one carrier unit including a housing with an inner volume, at least one roller unit configured in an upper portion of the inner volume, at least one guide member configured in the inner volume, and an opening extending across the front of the housing and adapted to receive a longitudinal portion of the rail member. The at least one roller unit and the at least one guide member are concealed within the housing when the housing is viewed from a perspective perpendicular to the front of the housing.
