A drive cable for actuating a vehicle element which is mobile relative to a vehicle structure, the drive cable having a plastic cable body which has a toothing extending in the axial direction to become engaged with a driving gear wheel and is penetrated by a continuous reinforcement which extends in the axial direction. The toothing is formed by pocket-like recesses which are regularly spaced in the axial direction and are limited by flanks of resulting tooth tips in the longitudinal direction of the cable and by pocket flanks on both sides in the transverse direction of the cable and each of which is limited at the bottom by a tooth root which is penetrated by the continuous reinforcement.

A drive cable for actuating a vehicle element movable relative to a vehicle body is provided, the drive cable having a cable body having a cable core around which a coil following a helical line is coiled, the coil serving to engage with a gear wheel, the cable body being provided with a cable sheath. The cable sheath is glued to the coil.

A panel system for closing and opening a merchandise space of a refrigerated cabinet includes multiple movable panels. Each panel is movable between an open position and a closed position. Two of the panel are connected to form a pair of panels. A return mechanism is arranged above the pair of panels and a pulling mechanism is guided over the deflection mechanism and connects the two panels in the pair. Each panel of the pair is disposed with respect to the deflection mechanism so that a movement of one panel in a first movement direction effectuates a movement of the second panel in a second movement direction. A refrigerated cabinet includes such a panel system.

A lock device for locking the sliding door comprises a first lock portion and a transmission portion. The transmission portion may move along relative to the first lock portion a predetermined path, so that the transmission portion may bring the sliding door to move along the predetermined path to open or close the sliding door. The transmission portion has a plurality of successively arranged mating portions for locking with the first lock portion. The first lock portion has a first position in which the first lock portion is locked with the transmission portion and a second position in which the first lock portion is released from the transmission portion. The transmission portion may be locked in different positions along the predetermined path by matching the first lock portion 110 with different mating portions, so that the sliding door can be locked in different positions.

A confinement cabin has a load-bearing structure, confinement walls connected to the load-bearing structure to delimit an inner space of the cabin, an access opening to the inner space, and a door connected to the load-bearing structure to close the access opening. The door is movable in opening and closing with a pivoting-tilting movement and has a movable arm which at a first end is rotationally connected to the load-bearing structure to rotate around a hinging axis, and a closing panel rotationally connected to a second end of the movable arm to rotate around a tilting axis. Rotation of the panel around the tilting axis is synchronized with rotation of the movable arm around the hinging axis by an elastic transmission system between a first pulley coaxial to the hinging axis and a second pulley coaxial to the tilting axis. Rotation of the panel around the tilting axis is in the opposite direction to rotation of the movable arm around the hinging axis.

The present disclosure relates to an electric lift gate and a vehicle. The electric lift gate includes: two side bars opposed and spaced apart, and the two side bars being provided with a guiding groove, respectively, the guiding groove extending along a length direction of the side bar; a roller shutter assembly disposed between the two side bars, two opposite sides of the roller shutter assembly being slidably disposed in the corresponding guiding grooves, respectively; a winding assembly cooperating with the roller shutter assembly in a driving manner; and a driving assembly connected to the winding assembly, and configured to drive the winding assembly to rotate, so as to drive the roller shutter assembly to wind or unwind.

A refrigerator, comprising an automatic door-opening/closing apparatus mounted on a refrigerator body for driving the opening and closing of a door. When opening the door, if a first obstacle detecting apparatus detects the presence of an obstacle in front of the door, then the automatic door opening/closing apparatus stops the opening of the door; when closing the door, if a second obstacle detection apparatus detects the presence of an obstacle behind the door, then the automatic door-opening/closing apparatus stops the closing of the door. This stops the movement of the door upon the discovery of an obstacle while opening or closing the door, thus preventing the door from being damaged by collision, and when the obstacle is a person, preventing physical injuries from being caused.

The invention is systems and methods of operating a window with an automated window mechanism. The systems and methods include moving with the automated window mechanism a sliding panel of a window relative to a window frame to open or close the window. The sliding panel moves through a proximate closing zone. The method also includes in the proximate closing zone, operating the automated window mechanism in a limited state comprising at least one of reduced velocity, reduced current to the automated window mechanism, or reduced voltage to the automated window mechanism.

A confinement cabin has a load-bearing structure, confinement walls connected to the load-bearing structure to delimit an inner space of the cabin, an access opening to the inner space, and a door connected to the load-bearing structure to close the access opening. The door is movable in opening and closing with a pivoting-tilting movement and has a movable arm which at a first end is rotationally connected to the load-bearing structure to rotate around a hinging axis, and a closing panel rotationally connected to a second end of the movable arm to rotate around a tilting axis. Rotation of the panel around the tilting axis is synchronized with rotation of the movable arm around the hinging axis by an elastic transmission system between a first pulley coaxial to the hinging axis and a second pulley coaxial to the tilting axis. Rotation of the panel around the tilting axis is in the opposite direction to rotation of the movable arm around the hinging axis.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of lock, especially to the lock device for locking the sliding door. The lock device comprises a first lock portion and a transmission portion. The transmission portion may move along relative to the first lock portion a predetermined path, so that the transmission portion may bring the sliding door to move along the predetermined path to open or close the sliding door. The transmission portion has a plurality of successively arranged mating portions for locking with the first lock portion. The first lock portion has a first position in which the first lock portion is locked with the transmission portion and a second position in which the first lock portion is released from the transmission portion. The transmission portion may be locked in different positions along the predetermined path by matching the first lock portion (110) with different mating portions, so that the sliding door can be locked in different positions. Through the technical solution mentioned above, the sliding door may be locked not only in a fully open position or a fully closed position of the sliding door, but also in any partly-open position of the sliding door, so that the sliding door maybe locked in the partly-open state stably.
