The system includes a first platform edge coping plate, a second platform edge coping plate, a first base mounted fixedly on one of the first and second platform edge coping plates, a second base mounted with the ability to move in a translational movement in a direction parallel or tangential to the route, and in a direction closer toward or further away from the first base on the other of the first and second platform edge coping plates, and means of securing and adjusting the end uprights on the first and second bases.

Abstract: One of the first and second wireless communication devices is disposed in a mobile object, and the other is fixed. The first wireless communication device includes a wireless transmission/reception unit that transmits data to the second wireless communication device and performs wireless transmission and reception in order to detect whether the mobile object is stopped. When, in a first mode for transmitting data to the second wireless communication device and determining whether the reception strength of a received signal is equal to or greater than a first value, the first wireless communication device detects that the reception strength is equal to or greater than the first value, the first wireless communication device stops the transmission of data to the second wireless communication device, exits the first mode, and transitions to a second mode for determining whether the mobile object is stopped.

Abstract: A slide door apparatus for a vehicle includes a driving device mounted to a slide door and a guide pulley unit mounted to the slide door. The guide pulley unit includes a plurality of guide pulleys each having first and second guide grooves. The guide pulley unit further includes first and second housing members for housing the plurality of guide pulleys, and a separating member provided between the first and second housing members for separating the first and second guide grooves of each of the plurality of guide pulleys. The slide door apparatus further includes a cable connected to the driving device and to a vehicle body. A first portion of the cable is disposed into the first groove of each of the plurality of guide pulleys. A second portion of the cable is disposed into the second groove of each of the plurality of guide pulleys.

Abstract: A slide door opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle includes a drive pulley, a driven pulley, a pulling member extending between the drive pulley and the driven pulley and connected to a slide door, a drive side idle pulley provided in the vicinity of the drive pulley for guiding the pulling member extending at an inner side of the vehicle toward an outer side of the vehicle via the driven pulley, a housing including an opening portion through which the pulling member guided by the drive side idle pulley is inserted, and a partition provided at the opening portion of the housing, the partition interposed between the pulling member at the inner side of the vehicle and the pulling member guided toward the outer side of the vehicle via the driven pulley.

Abstract: A latch assembly (100) releases a closure structure (12) of a motor vehicle (10). The latch assembly includes a latch housing (37). A latch (28) for releasing the closure structure (12), allowing the closure structure to move toward an open position, is housed within the latch housing. A voltage regulator (46) is electrically connected to the latch (28) and provides power to the latch (28). Also, the latch assembly includes a microprocessor (44) that is electrically connected to the voltage regulator (46) to receive the power supplied by the voltage regulator, wherein the microprocessor (44) and the voltage regulator (46) are housed within the latch housing (37).

Abstract: A device for pivoting a structural member about the axle of a hinge, and hinge being fitted to the structural member and to an object so as to permit pivoting of the member relative to the object, the member having at least one edge portion which is magnetic and which swings along a planar path when the member pivots about the hinge axle relative to the object, the device including: an arm pivoted for rotation about an axis which is parallel to the hinge axle; at least one magnet carried by the arm, the arrangement being such that, upon pivoting of the arm, the magnet moves in a path parallel to the path of the magnetic edge portion of the member and spaced a small distance from the path of the magnetic edge portion to provide an air gap between the magnet edge portion and the magnet, whereby the magnet and the magnetic edge portion are out of contact with each other but can be magnetically coupled so as to move simultaneously in their respective paths upon pivoting of the member relative to the body; and a m

Abstract: A tracked transportation system uses an automatic car door opening and closing system. The car door or one panel of a two-panel door carries a lever on which is a rear abutment member designed to roll along an outside surface at the bottom of the car. This member enters a housing when the door is closed. The door is closed by holding it as the car moves slowly along a platform, by means of a hook attached to the lever.

Abstract: A door control apparatus is provided for a transit vehicle for sensing the location of a predetermined power rail in relation to a safety walkway provided along the roadway path for controlling the passenger exit from the vehicle to that walkway.

Abstract: A passenger cabin for an aerial cable railway or the like is constructed from outwardly convex panels connected at their adjoining edges by hollow profile sections. One sidewall of the cabin is equipped with a door. Sensing members of the cabin engage control members of the cable railway stations and transmit a control motion to a door actuation mechanism within the floor construction of the cabin. A crank operates a rocker arm which drives two connecting rods. Racks arranged on the connecting rods drive sector gears mounted on the cabin and cause pivot arms connected with each leaf of the door to pivot. The pivot arms cause the doors to translate along and pivot conjointly with guide rails hinged at their common center. The door leaves can therefore be flush with the sidewall of the cabin in the closed position and require a minimum of space in opening.

Abstract: Door control apparatus is provided for opening and closing the passenger doors of a transit vehicle and the cooperating doors of a station, which apparatus includes conductors respectively coupled with a station power supply and the station door motors and extending along the station platform where passengers load and unload relative to the vehicle, such that a shunt connection member carried by the vehicle and coupled with the vehicle door motor is operative to energize the vehicle door motor and the station door motor for operating the passenger doors and the station doors when the vehicle is positioned at the station platform to load and unload passengers in relation to the vehicle.

Abstract: A transportation system for rapidly loading people from a platform into and from a plurality of cars. The system includes an elongated trackway which extends along a platform. Trolleys extend between the trackway and the cars supporting the cars on the trackway. The cars have side doors extending along the length thereof which open towards the platform to provide access to a single row of seats carried in the vehicles facing the doors. The doors can be automatically opened and closed upon reaching the platform. The trackway includes upper lower and intermediate rails upon which upper, lower and intermediate wheels, carried by the trolleys, engage to provide an interlocking relation therebetween. A vertically extending keel is carried by at least some of the vehicles for engaging power driven wheels that are positioned along the trackway.
