Abstract: A locking mechanism (100) for use with a pneumatic cylinder/differential engine for a power-operated door including a locking rod (20), a plunger (24) associated with the locking rod (20) to cause extension and retraction of the locking rod (20) with respect to a door opening/closing gear (46), and a spring member (34) associated with the plunger (24) for maintaining the plunger (24) and the locking rod (20) in an extended position during a door closed position. An aperture (46a) is located through a sidewall portion of the gear hub (46b) which is capable of receiving an end (20a) of the locking rod (20) when the locking rod is in an extended position to lock the door in a door closed position. The invention also includes an emergency door opening mechanism enabling manual opening of the doors in case of an emergency.

Abstract: A removable teeter lever and gear assembly arrangement (100) for use with a pneumatic cylinder/differential engine for operating vehicle doors. The arrangement comprises a teeter lever (16), which is associated with the vehicle doors, a gear assembly (17) having a toothed portion and an output shaft (20) extending therethrough, and at least one securing member for removably securing and/or retaining the teeter lever (16) and the gear (17) on the output shaft (20). The securing member comprises at least one retention key (18a, 19a) which allows the arrangement to be easily disassembled for maintenance and/or replacement thereof.

Abstract: A transit vehicle glazing assembly comprises a window pane, a box-shaped first frame that surrounds the opening covered by the window pane, a second frame sized to fit within the space enclosed by the first frame secured to the window pane by an adhesive, an elastomeric strip positioned in the space between the flanges and a plurality of U-shaped clips securing the second frame to the first frame.

Abstract: A cover system for at least one flexible signal connection in a door system for a transit vehicle having at least one door panel mounted to open and close by rotation about an axis. The cover system includes an outer cover for the flexible signal connection(s), the outer cover being for attachment to either a stationary portion of the transit vehicle door system or one of the door panels. The outer cover encloses a first passage. The cover system also has an inner cover for the flexible signal connection(s), the inner cover being for attachment to the opposite one of the stationary portion of the transit vehicle door system and a door panel. The inner cover is positionable within the first passage while the door panel rotates about the axis between an open position and a closed position of the door panel. The inner cover has a second passage therein, the second passage being for the flexible signal connection(s).
