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 closure system for a motor vehicle cargo bed includes a closure panel having a plurality of slats moveable between a deployed position and a retracted position, with each adjacent pair of the slats being pivotably connected to one another by a hinge unit for pivotal movement of the adjacent slats about a hinge axis. First and second guide track units are configured to be mounted to one side of the cargo bed to extend adjacent opposite side edge portions of the closure panel. A plurality of roller units, each having first and second rollers, are supported along the opposite side edge portions of the cover panel for rolling movement along the first and second guide track units, with each roller unit rolling about a roller axis that is coaxially aligned with one of the hinge axes.

A movable barrier operator includes a first side panel having a first opening and a second side panel, opposing the first side panel, where the second side panel has a second opening.

The operator further includes a first bearing, the first bearing inserted into the first opening of the first side panel, wherein the first shaft of the motor is inserted through the first bearing and a second bearing, the second bearing inserted into the second opening of the second side panel, wherein the second shaft of the motor is inserted through the second bearing to thereby prevent transfer of vibration from the motor to the second side panel.

An overhead door operator system (1) for opening and closing an opening (2), comprising a door frame (3) comprising a first frame section (4) at a first side (7) of the opening (2) and a second frame section (6) at a second side (5) of the opening (2). The operator system further comprises a door (8) arranged to be moved between an open and closed (C) position, the door (8) being movably connected to the door frame (3) and a drive unit (10), the drive unit (10) comprising at least one motor (11) arranged to move the door (8) from the closed position (C) to the open position (O). An elongated transmission member (19) extends along the first side (7) of the opening (2) and the first frame section (4). The drive unit (10) further comprises a driven transmission member (18) in driving connection with the motor (11). The overhead door operator system (1) further comprises an end cap arrangement (100) attached to the door (8), the drive unit (10) being mounted to an end cap (101) of the end cap arrangement (100).

A drive unit for a sliding arrangement, in particular a sliding door, includes a carriage, which is formed for linearly mobile mounting in relation to a sub-structure of the sliding arrangement, a deflection roller rotatable around a roller axis at the carriage for deflecting a drive belt of the sliding arrangement, and a tensioning device, having a shaft with male thread rotatable around a shaft axis, a first shaft reception with female thread for receiving the male thread of the shaft, a second shaft reception for linear mobile reception of the shaft, and a compression spring between the second shaft reception and a spring abutment at the shaft. The shaft is disposed for tensioning the drive belt by increasing the distance between the first shaft reception and the second shaft reception.

A deflection device is for a traction cord of a window lift of a motor vehicle. The deflection device has a cord pulley, which has a circumferential track for the traction cord and a central bearing opening, and a carrier for the cord pulley. A carrier-side journal is provided for rotatably mounting the cord pulley, wherein the cord pulley is ring-shaped and has an internal ring wall surrounding the central bearing opening and an external ring wall having the track. The ring-shaped cord pulley is joined to the journal with a snap-fit assembly.

An apparatus comprises a base plate configured to be coupled to a door, the door configured to be positioned in an open position and a closed position; a closing mechanism coupled to the base plate and configured to be coupled to a hinge of the door and having an unprimed state and a primed state, the closing mechanism configured to be transitioned between the unprimed state and the primed state by a user; wherein in the unprimed state the closing mechanism is decoupled from operation of the door; and in the primed state the closing mechanism is configured to move the door into the closed position responsive to receipt of a signal, and the closing mechanism is configured to allow movement of the door between the open position and the closed position in absence of the signal.

A belt tensioning system (170) for tensioning a belt (171) of a belt drive system (970) for transferring torque from a drive unit (112) of a door operating system (100) to a sliding door leaf (101) of a sliding door assembly (200), the belt tensioning system comprising a belt wheel (176) connectable to the belt (171) for torque transfer between said belt wheel (176) and an additional belt wheel (175) of the belt drive system (970); a belt wheel guiding arrangement (330), the belt wheel (176) being movably connected to said belt wheel guiding arrangement (330); and a belt tensioning arrangement (470) operatively connecting the belt wheel (176) and the belt wheel guiding arrangement (330) for adjusting the position of the belt wheel (176) relative the belt wheel guiding arrangement (330).

A spring driven system for moderating an opening speed of a closure panel of a vehicle, the system comprising: a pop up mechanism mounted adjacent to the closure panel for moving the closure panel from a fully closed position to a partially open position, the pop up mechanism having a plunger; and a biased cam mechanism coupled to the pop up mechanism by a coupling, the biased cam mechanism having a biasing element for moderating a deployment rate of the plunger.
