The tensioning device and/or the drive device are mounted with a variable distance between one another, so that an extension of the drive belt caused by acceleration or deceleration of the rotor is compensated by varying the distance between the tensioning device and the drive device. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20140352222 | Module Unit For Opening And Closing Of Wings - A modular unit for opening and closing doors, in particular of motor vehicles, includes a first module which has at least one actuating unit and a second module which has at least one lock assembly. The first module and the second module are coupled together via a coupling member in order to actuate a lock of the lock assembly when the first module, in particular the actuating unit, is actuated in order to initiate the opening and/or closing procedure of the door. A connecting element is arranged between the first module and the second module. The connecting element maintains the distance between the modules relative to one another substantially constant when a force F acts on at least one of the modules. | 12-04-2014 |
| 20140373453 | DEVICE FOR OPENING/CLOSING WINGS IN WING BODY VEHICLE - The present invention relates to a device for opening/closing wings in a wing body vehicle, and the device for opening/closing comprises: one pair of wings, which are installed so as to rotate with respect to a frame that is formed on an outer edge of a loading box; and the wing body vehicle comprising an opening/closing device for binding together lower ends of the wings and the frame, wherein the opening/closing device comprises a forward/reverse motor which is seated on the frame; an elevating plate, which is elevated and lowered vertically by driving the forward/reverse motor, for blocking a portion of lower end portions of the wings, a close button for elevating the elevating plate, and an open button for lowering the elevating plate. According to the present invention, an actuation button is operated when the wings are lowered thereby securely fixing the wings, and a user can solidly fix or release the wings by using the open button and the close button. | 12-25-2014 |
| 20150315793 | Skylight With Manual Closing Feature - A skylight or roof hatch that is manually opened and closed. The skylight has one or more hinges allowing it to open and close and it also has one more gas springs that exerts constant force against the window urging the window into an open position. The window is closed to overcome the biasing force exerted by gas springs by winding in a cable that is connected to the window. A single pulley wheel that is mechanically linked to other mechanical elements is utilized to spool in cable in order to close the window and to unlock a reel lock to allow for automatic opening of the window. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20150330131 | Air Spring Counterbalance - A fluid-based spring counterbalance mechanism comprising an elastic flexible fluid-based spring disposed between a first plate and a second plate, each plate having a surface in contact with an end of the fluid-based spring. The counterbalance mechanism supports some or all of the weight of a movable barrier. A mechanism is configured to compress the flexible fluid-based spring between the respective surfaces of the two plates in response to motion of the movable barrier. By compressing the fluid-based spring, the counterbalance mechanism provides a force opposed to movement of the movable barrier. | 11-19-2015 |
| 20150338147 | ICE DISPENSING ARRANGEMENT - An ice dispensing arrangement is particularly suited for a household refrigeration appliance. A flap can rotate between a first and a second distribution position. A motor actuates the flap via a transfer device. The transfer device has a rotating transfer element and a flap actuating device. The rotating transfer element is rotated between a first and a second position, in order to rotate the flap, by way of the flap actuation device, between the first and second distribution positions. The rotating transfer element is coupled to the flap actuation device so that the flap, in the first position of the rotating transfer element, is arranged in the first distribution position and, in the second position of the rotating transfer element, the flap is arranged in the second distribution position. A blocking device maintains the flap in the first distribution position. | 11-26-2015 |
| 20160129768 | BI-DIRECTIONAL ELEMENT DRIVE SYSTEM - A bi-directional element drive system includes a motor having a drive shaft, a cable anchor and a cable connector. The cable connector is carried on the drive shaft and has two ends connected to the cable anchor. In addition the drive system includes a support and a driven element. The driven element is displaced between a first position and a second position relative to the support by the motor. | 05-12-2016 |
