In a door hinge device for the vehicle, in a vehicle without a B pillar, a hinge slider connected to a hinge portion of a door slides and moves in an external diagonal direction of a vehicle body along upper and lower rails by a driving torque of a motor inside a case, securing a rotation trajectory of the door, and then a striker fixed to the hinge slider is restrained by a latch portion fixed to the case to fix the slide movement position of the hinge slider, ensuring stability of the opening/closing operation of the door.

The invention relates to a double-leaf vehicle door device comprising at least the following: two door leaves, each of which can be moved between an open position and a closed position in the form of a respective end position and into any intermediate position between the first open position and the first closed position, wherein a first movement of the first door leaf between the first open position and the first closed position is carried out without mechanically coupling the first door leaf to the second door leaf in contrast to a second movement of the second door leaf between the second open position and the second closed position, and a common locking device is provided which locks the first door leaf in the closed position when the first door leaf is located in the closed position and which locks the second door leaf in the closed position when the second door leaf is in the closed position. A pre-locking function is provided such that of the first door and the second door leaf, the door leaf which first reaches the closed position is held in the closed position at least until the other door leaf has also reached the closed position, and the locking device is additionally designed to only then lock or become capable of locking the first door leaf and the second door leaf.

A modular electronic deadbolt includes a bolt module having a first housing defining a first longitudinal axis, a motor disposed in the first housing, and a deadbolt configured to be linearly moveable in relation to the first housing along the first longitudinal axis by the motor. The modular electronic deadbolt also includes a battery module configured to be operatively coupled to the bolt module. The battery module includes a second housing configured to receive a power source, and a face plate coupled to the second housing. The faceplate defines a second longitudinal axis and includes an extension that extends along the second longitudinal axis. The extension is configured to removably couple the bolt module to the battery module such that the first longitudinal axis is substantially orthogonal to the second longitudinal axis.

A track door system for an aircraft includes a door having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A first roller track and a second roller track are aligned adjacent one another on the first side of the door. A third roller track and a fourth roller track are aligned adjacent one another on the second side of the door. A first motion driver is configured to move the door along the first roller track and the second roller track. A second motion driver is configured to move the door along the third roller track and the fourth roller track. A drive unit is operatively coupled to the first motion driver and the second motion driver to provide electromechanical power for cooperatively moving the door forward to an open position or aft to a closed position.

A nut leadscrew type automatic door opening and closing mechanism for moving a door of a motor vehicle relative to a vehicle body. The nut leadscrew type automatic door opening and closing mechanism includes a driving device, a leadscrew, a nut pushing block and a pushing rod. The driving device is fixedly connected to a door, the leadscrew is rotatably mounted on the door, the nut pushing block is sleeved on the leadscrew, a first end of the pushing rod is hinged to the nut pushing block, and a second end of the pushing rod is hinged to the vehicle body. The driving device is capable of driving the leadscrew to rotate, so as to allow the nut pushing block and the pushing rod to be reciprocally linearly movable along the leadscrew to allow the pushing rod to drive the door to open or close relative to the vehicle body.

An opening/closing device for a vehicle sliding-window panel, includes a sliding-window panel opening and closing an opening part provided in a vehicle body, a guide rail fixed to the vehicle body to support the sliding-window panel to slide, a carrier plate coupled with the sliding-window panel and fitted to the guide rail to slide, and a slide driving mechanism that operates the sliding-window panel coupled with the carrier plate to open and close by driving a motor. The carrier plate has a fitting groove which is open upward and extended in an opening/closing direction of the sliding-window panel and to which a lower portion of the sliding-window panel is fitted, and an engaging portion that engages with an engaged portion provided on the lower portion of the sliding-window panel fitted to the fitting groove to fix the lower portion of the sliding-window panel to the fitting groove.

An opening/closing device for a vehicle sliding-window panel, includes a sliding-window panel opening and closing an opening part provided in a vehicle body, upper and lower guide rails to support the sliding-window panel to slide, and a slide driving mechanism fixed to one guide rail either the upper or lower guide rail. The slide driving mechanism includes a motor, a lead screw rotated by driving the motor, and a screw nut which is screwed with the lead screw to linearly move in a longitudinal direction of the one guide rail by rotation of the lead screw and is coupled with the sliding-window panel to operate the sliding-window panel to open and close by the linear movement. The one guide rail is integrally formed with a first and second supporting portions which rotatably support both end portions of the lead screw respectively.

A powered actuator includes a leadscrew as an extensible member connected to a closure, such as a vehicle side door, and is configured to move linearly for opening or closing the closure. The first powered actuator also includes a gearbox having a gearbox housing, the gearbox configured to apply a force to the extensible member for causing the extensible member to move linearly. One or more sealing assembly seals the gearbox housing as the extensible member translates linearly. A gearbox housing may include apertures on opposite sides thereof, with one aperture facing a shut face and the other aperture facing an inner cavity of the closure. The extensible member may be sealed at each aperture relative to the gearbox housing. One sealing assembly may be fixed at an aperture, with the extensible member translating therethrough.

A powered actuator for moving a motor vehicle closure panel from a closed position to an open position and method of construction thereof. Powered actuator includes an electric motor configured to rotate a driven shaft and a gearbox coupled to the driven shaft. An extensible member extends through the gearbox to a proximal end on one side of the gearbox for attachment to one of a vehicle body or the closure member and to a distal end on an opposite side of the gearbox. Extensible member is configured to move between retracted and extended positions in response to rotation of the driven shaft. A contamination cover enshrouds the extensible member between the gearbox and the distal end of the extensible member. Contamination cover moves between an axially extended state and an axially retracted state while the extensible member moves between the respective retracted position and the extended position.
