  • Patent number: 8915533
    Abstract: A drive device for a sliding door or a pivot and slide door of a transportation vehicle including at least one runner mounter such that it can at least move linearly so as to move a door leaf attached to the latter. A motor is attached to the runner of to the transportation vehicle. A first transmission mechanism between the motor and the runner affects the longitudinal displacement of the runner. Between the motor and the first transmission mechanism at least two attachment options are provided which differ in the arrangement relationship of the first transmission mechanism and the motor.

  • Publication number: 20140147061
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding door drive (20). The sliding door drive (20) has: a drivable spindle (24) having a Z longitudinal axis, a spindle nut (20) which is movable on the spindle (24) along the Z longitudinal axis, an inner ring element (30) which surrounds the spindle nut (22) and is connected to the spindle nut (22) via two mutually diametrically opposite first shaft butts (28), which form a Y axis, in such a manner that the inner ring element (30) is pivotable about the Y axis and is displaceable along the Y axis, and an outer fork element (34) which is connected to the inner ring element (30) via two mutually diametrically opposite second shaft butts (32), which form a X axis, in such a manner that the outer fork element (34) is pivotable about the X axis and is displaceable along the X axis, wherein the outer fork element (34) has a support arm (26) for connection to the sliding door.

  • Patent number: 8621948
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device (20) for entrance/exit devices for public transit vehicles, comprising a drive unit (22) disposed in and driving a column (24) that rotates about an axis of rotation Z-Z during opening and closing operations, said column opening and closing an entrance/exit device. The drive unit (22) is supported in the vehicle by way of a support component (40) and the support component (40) acts as a counterbearing for a torque of the drive unit (22). A coupling device (72) is disposed between the drive unit (22) and the support component (40), said coupling device facilitating a rotation of the drive unit (22) about the axis of rotation Z-Z when a limit of the torque acting on the drive unit is exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20120235426
    Abstract: The invention relates to an unlatching device (20) for public transportation vehicles, comprising a deflection rocker (4) connected to a first rotatable shaft (6), said deflection rock being connected by means of a connecting element (5), to an unlocking element of a lock and being provided with a projecting driving pin (11), and further comprising an actuating lever (8), which is mounted on the first shaft (6) and rotatable about the first shaft (6), and a cam wheel (1) connected to a second rotatable shaft (7), said cam wheel meshing with the deflection rocker (4). A rotation of the cam wheel (1) causes a pivoting of the deflection rocker (4), and thus a movement of the connecting element (5) and unlocking of the lock. Rotating the actuating lever (8) causes the actuating lever (8) to come in contact with the driving pin (11), and to catch said driving pin and during further rotation also the deflection rocker (4), whereby the connecting element (5) is moved and the lock unlocked.

  • Publication number: 20110154741
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door system for a public transit vehicle, comprising a door (2) and a door portal (1), wherein the door (2) is moved substantially parallel to the exterior vehicle wall when the door is opened and closed and wherein the door (2) comprises a vertical math closing edge (31) in front in the direction of closing, said edge abutting a main portal edge (32) running vertically in the door portal (1) in the closed position of the door (2), and a secondary closing edge (33) behind in the direction of closing, said secondary closing edge abutting a secondary portal edge (34) running vertically in the door portal (1) in the closed position of the door (2). The main closing edge (31) moves along an s-shaped path of motion (10) when opening and closing takes place and the secondary closing edge (33) moves along a circular path of motion (10).
