  • Patent number: 7201430
    Abstract: A driving device for driving an open/close member that is designed to open and close an open portion of a body includes a driving source generating a driving force, a force transmission mechanism disposed between the driving source and the open/close member and serving for transmitting the driving force thereto, and a load regulator for interrupting the driving force transmission when an excessive force is applied to the force transmission mechanism from the open/close member.

  • Patent number: 7140150
    Abstract: An opening-closing device includes a driving source, an opening-closing mechanism for opening and closing an opening-closing member provided at a vehicle body by operation of the driving source, and a clutch positioned between the driving source and the opening-closing mechanism and sifting an energization state can transmit a driving force of the driving source to the opening-closing mechanism and a non-energization state can not transmit the drive force. The clutch includes a drive portion and a driven portion. The drive portion and the driven portion contact each other by a first load which can transmit the driving force from the driving source to the opening-closing mechanism when the clutch is the energization state. The drive portion and the driven portion contact each other by a second load which can not transmits the driving force from the driving source to opening-closing mechanism when the clutch is the non-energization state.

  • Patent number: 6964449
    Abstract: An opening and closing control system for an opening-closing member comprises an opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing the opening-closing member, an actuator for operating the opening and closing mechanism, an electromagnetic clutch for controlling a torque transmission by connecting and disconnecting the actuator and the mechanism, an opening and closing angle detecting means for detecting an opening and a closing angle of the opening-closing member relative to the vehicle, and a control means for controlling an electric power supplied to the electromagnetic clutch based on a detected result from the opening and closing angle detecting means and controlling an electric power supplied to the actuator, in which a supporting force required for supporting the opening-closing member is increased, and the control means for decreasing the electric power supplied to the electromagnetic clutch in accordance the opening-closing operation from an intermediate position to an opened position or a closed
