Patent number: 11261645Abstract: A vehicle door control system is provided, and includes a body hinge member connected to the vehicle body, a door hinge member connected to the door, a brake and a control system. The brake includes a plate pack that includes a plurality of body brake plates connected to the body hinge member, and interleaved with a plurality of door brake plates connected to the door hinge member. The plate pack is positionable in a braking state in which the body brake plates and the door brake plates are frictionally engaged with one another to provide a first resistance to relative rotation therebetween so as to hold the vehicle door in a selected position, and a release state in which the body brake plates and the door brake plates provide a second resistance to relative rotation therebetween that is less than the first resistance.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Inventors: Sven Sauerwein, Pasit Banjongpanith

Patent number: 10669756Abstract: In an aspect, a door control system is provided for a vehicle door and includes a pushrod and a locking device. The pushrod has a first end connected to one of the vehicle body and the vehicle door. At least a portion of the locking device is mounted to the other of the vehicle body and the vehicle door. The locking device includes a leadscrew, a leadscrew nut mounted on the leadscrew, a housing including a guide path, and a brake. The pushrod has a second end connected to the leadscrew nut. The leadscrew nut is constrained against rotation but is slideable along the guide path by movement of the pushrod, which causes rotation of the leadscrew. The brake is positionable in a braking position in which the brake prevents rotation of the leadscrew, and a release position in which the brake permits rotation of the leadscrew.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: WARREN INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Traian Miu, Mitchell English, Pasit Banjongpanith, Douglas Broadhead

Patent number: 10344516Abstract: In an aspect, a vehicle door control system for a vehicle having a vehicle body and a vehicle door is provided, and includes a check arm having an end that is mounted to one of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, a check arm holder at least a portion of which is mounted to the other of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, and a controller. The check arm holder is configured to apply at least three different amounts of braking force to the check arm. The controller is programmed to control the operation of the check arm holder based on input from at least one sensor.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Warren Industries Ltd.Inventors: Sven Sauerwein, Douglas Broadhead, Markus Hetzler, Gareth Kenworthy, Mitchell English, Pasit Banjongpanith

Patent number: 8366129Abstract: A dual motion vehicle access step that can be deployed by initially rotating it around a pivot joint in response to an operator pushing down on the step to overcome a closing torque and then translating the step away from the vehicle in response to a biasing force. Both of the closing torque and biasing force are provided by a single energy storage device. An interlocking latch is configured to selectively structurally lock-out either the rotating motion or translating motion on an alternating basis.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Multimatic Inc.Inventors: John Salmon, Pasit Banjongpanith, Dennis Loui
