A rail system comprises: a guide rail; a plurality of stationary electromagnets mounted in the guide rail; and a carriage having a plurality of wheels configured to travel along the guide rail. The wheels are magnets. Movement of the carriage along the guide rail is brought about by a fluctuating magnetic field generated by the stationary electromagnets acting on the wheels.

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.

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.

A door system has a door leaf configured to be moved between closed and opened positions while carrying out a door leaf movement. The door leaf is moved in the vehicle transverse direction across a door leaf movement distance in the vehicle transverse direction, a door seal, disposed underneath a lower edge of the door leaf closing off the door leaf towards the bottom, and extends along the lower edge. The door seal is arranged such that the door seal, when the door leaf movement is carried out, undergoes a door seal movement and is moved in the process in the vehicle transverse direction across a door seal movement distance in the vehicle transverse direction. An arrangement of the door leaf and door seal that ensures that the door seal movement distance in the vehicle transverse direction is smaller than the door leaf movement distance in the vehicle transverse direction.

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.

In an example an overhead door track is provided. The overhead door track includes a vertical track section having an opening to receive a roller of a panel of an overhead door and to guide movement of the roller within the opening and a single solid polymer based vibration isolator coupled to the vertical track section to reduce vibration of the vertical track section caused by movement of the roller within the opening.

A lock release control device for an opening and closing body configured to control an opening and closing body that opens and closes an opening portion of a vehicle. The opening and closing body comes into contact with a sealing member provided on a vehicle body side of the vehicle in a fully closed state. The vehicle includes a locking device and an opening and closing actuator. The locking device restrains the opening and closing body in a fully closed position. The opening and closing actuator displaces the opening and closing body by rotation of a motor to change the opening and closing body from one of two states including an open state and a closed state to another of the states. The lock release control device is configured to execute an open command acquisition process, a pull-in process, and a lock release process.

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.

A household appliance includes a housing, a door pivotably connected to the housing, a cable connected to the door, a roller in contact with the cable, and a motor configured to drive the roller to move the cable such as to effect a pivoting movement of the door.

An arrangement for guiding at least one movable furniture part includes a guide rail to be mounted on the fixed furniture part, a guide device to be coupled to the movable furniture part, and a preferably substantially cylindrical, load-transmitting rolling body. The guide rail has a guide track, on which the load-transmitting rolling body is mounted in a movable manner. The guide track has a parking position for the load-transmitting rolling body, and the parking position corresponds to an end position of the movable furniture part relative to the fixed furniture part. The load-transmitting rolling body and the guide track are designed such that the guide track can be deformed in this region, a depression being formed in the process, and the load-transmitting rolling body is substantially dimensionally stable.
