  • Publication number: 20190112839
    Abstract: A safety switch (2) with a latching unit (12), by means of which an associated actuator (3) is held in a latched position. The latching unit (12) has an opening (9) and a blocking element. In a latched position, the blocking element projects into the opening (9) and rear-engages an actuator head (8) of the actuator (3), which is in the latched position. The blocking element is held in the latched position by means of a positioning element with a setting force. When the actuator head (8) is inserted into or removed from the opening (9), the actuator head (8) pivots the blocking element out against the setting force.

  • Publication number: 20190112842
    Abstract: A switch actuating device (1) for a vehicle door includes an actuating element (10) with an actuating surface (11), a mechanical switch (20) and a mechanism (30). The switch is secured on a first component/component group (31). A lever (32) is mounted for pivot in relation to the first component/component group (31). A first region (32.2) of the lever is connected to a first part of the actuating element (10) via a first articulation (10.1).A second part of the actuating element (10) is mounted on the first component/component group (31) via a second articulation (10.2). The actuating element (10) bends when the actuating surface (11) is subjected to manual pressure causing the distance between the first articulation (10.1) and the second articulation (10.2) to shorten, which causes the lever (32) to pivot toward the switch such that the switch is switched.

    Abstract: In a door closed state, a first locking section of a first pole abuts a latch, and the latch is kept in a full-latch position. In addition, a second locking section of a second pole abuts the first pole, and the first pole is kept in an abutting state against the latch. When a door handle is operated, the second pole pivots, the first pole and the latch are unlocked, and a door opening operation is thereby permitted. An arm of moment that is generated around a first pole axis by a force exerted on the first locking section from the latch is shorter than an arm of moment around the first pole axis that generates a force exerted on the second locking section from the first pole.

  • Publication number: 20190112848
    Abstract: One embodiment of an improved mechanism for operating a gate latch lever has a flexible line extending between two handles, one of which is connected to a gate latch lever (115). A portion of flexible line (107) is sheathed inside a coil spring (108) and traverses through a hole (112) bored horizontally through a gatepost (118). One end of the coil spring is attached to an anchor whose flange portion (105) prevents the coil spring from slipping through the gatepost hole. The other end of the coil spring is attached to the flexible line by a clamp (109). Thus, one can open the gate latch lever using one of the handles positioned on either side of the gatepost, and the tension of the coil spring returns the gate latch lever to its closed position automatically. Other embodiments are described and shown.

    Abstract: A controlled, motorized mechanism to actuate a sash type window opened and closed. The system provides a set of motors, each positioned on either side of a window, that are controlled by a motor controller that receives feedback on the progression of rotation of the motors as they actuate each side of the window. The feedback is then utilized to control each of the motors. This controlled system ensures that one side of the window does not become raised or lowered further in its channel than the opposite side—or “racked”—and thus increase the friction against the frame that would disable any further progress actuating said window.

The device comprises a worm connected to the output shaft of the door operator, a drive shaft driving the winding shaft, a worm wheel having plural oblique elongated grooves and fixedly mounted on the drive shaft and meshes with the worm, a driven wheel having plural oblique elongated holes and is driven by the worm to move synchronously with the worm wheel, a limiting disk for restricting the driven wheel from moving axially, and plural latching pins extending through the elongated holes and received in the elongated slots. Under the normal operation of the door operator, the latching pins are retained in the center positions of the elongated holes and grooves. When the worm wheel are excessively worn and dislocated from the driven wheel, the latching pins lock the worm wheel and stop the winding shaft from rotating.

    Abstract: A door curtain anti-dropping device for a rolling door is provided. The device comprises a worm shaft connected to the output shaft of the door operator, and a drive shaft comprising a limiting disc with through holes. The worm wheel having receiving slots is fixed on the drive shaft to mesh with the worm. The driven wheel is disposed adjacent to the limiting disc. Baffle plates designed to cover the through holes and receiving slots extend from the driven wheel. Plural latching pins stored with spring potential energy are compressed by the baffle plates and retained in the through holes and receiving slots. When the worm wheel is excessively worn and dislocated from the driven wheel, the baffle plates are moved to allow the latching pins to spring out and insert into the notches of the front cover, thereby lock the worm wheel and prevent the winding shaft from rotating.
