Abstract: [PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To provide a vehicle door, in which the arrangement of the reinforcing bracket is not limited, and the strength of the joined portion between the door frame and the door panel can be improved. The vehicle door has a portion of a door frame that forms a window opening inserted into the inside of a door panel. The door frame is provided with a stepped portion which separates a surface area on the frame forming portion side and a surface area on the insertion portion side from each other; the surface area on the insertion portion side that is continuous with the stepped portion is formed as an inner-panel facing surface facing the inner panel; the inner-panel facing surface is shifted in a direction away from the inner panel by the stepped portion; and the reinforcing bracket is made to overlap the shifted inner-panel facing surface therealong.

Abstract: A vertical sliding window assembly can be coupled to a vehicle. The vertical sliding window assembly includes first and second fixed panels adapted to be fixed to the vehicle. The fixed panels each have a top edge and a bottom edge spaced from each other. A top cross-member is coupled to the first and second fixed panels adjacent the top edge. A bottom cross-member is spaced from the top cross-member and is coupled to the first and second fixed panels adjacent the bottom edge. A sliding panel has an interior surface and an exterior surface opposite the interior surface and is movable relative to the fixed panels. The top cross-member is disposed adjacent the exterior surface of the sliding panel and the bottom cross-member is disposed adjacent the interior surface of the sliding panel such that the exterior surface of the sliding panel is unobstructed by the bottom cross-member.

Abstract: A high-speed door assembly for selectively permitting and prohibiting access through an opening in a wall, or other blocking structure, the door assembly having a shaft or drum located proximate the wall or other blocking structure and outside of the opening, and the shaft or drum having a longitudinal axis, and, a flexible door panel attached to the shaft or drum so as to be capable of being wound and unwound about the drum for selectively permitting and prohibiting access through the opening, the door panel being wound on the shaft or drum in an orientation such that the door panel defines at least one vertical plane when unwound from the shaft or drum, the vertical plane being spaced farther from the wall than the longitudinal axis of the shaft or drum is spaced from the wall or other blocking structure.

Abstract: A sliding door structure comprises at least one door or plate (12), and a substantially horizontally arranged track device (13). The track device (13) includes a stationary track part (14) and at least one door carrier (16) for carrying the door. The door carrier is supported by the stationary track part (14) at one or more supporting points and displaceable horizontally in relation to said track part between first and second opposite positions. The door (12) is connected to the track device (13) such that the center of gravity of the door or plate (12) is spaced horizontally from the adjacent supporting point by a distance being a substantial fraction of the width of the door or plate (12). Thus, the door (12) is supported by the carrier (16) in a cantilever-like manner and the length of the track (13) may be reduced to a value substantially corresponding to the width of the door opening (11).

Abstract: A natural ventilation apparatus 1 includes a window frame 2 which is installed in a building; a framed panel 4 disposed in an opening portion 3 defined by the window frame 2; and opening/closing means 5 for opening and closing the opening portion 3 on the basis of an air current. The opening portion 3 is adapted to be opened by the opening portion opening movement of the framed panel 4 moving toward a building exterior 7 side, and to be closed by the opening portion closing movement of the framed panel 4 moving toward a building interior 8 side.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door module, built as a preassembled unit, includes a windowpane movable between open and closed positions, an integrated window regulator assembly including a drive mechanism such as a drive motor or hand crank for moving the windowpane between the open and closed positions, a cable assembly, cable routers such as pulleys or sliders, a seal assembly, and a door frame assembly including run channels. The windowpane includes a bracket assembly which is slidably disposed within the run channels. The cable assembly includes a cable connected to the bracket assembly and the drive mechanism for transferring a force of the drive mechanism to the bracket assembly to move the windowpane between the open and closed positions. The cable routers are attached to fore and aft door frames of the door frame assembly and route the cable between the drive mechanism and the bracket assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly includes first and second weatherstripping components secured directly to the vertically movable window beneath the opening between the outer door panel and inner door trim panel such that the weatherstrips are not visible. The weatherstrips include upwardly protruding lip portions which cooperate with the base portion of the respective weatherstrip to form a channel for carrying water out of the door assembly. By securing the weatherstripping directly to the window, unsightly beltline weatherstrips are eliminated. Also, the frictional engagement of prior art beltline weatherstrips with the window is eliminated, thereby allowing downsizing of the window lifting mechanism, and allowing the use of plastic or glazed windows because the abrasion of prior art designs is eliminated.

Abstract: A split outer panel construction for a vehicle door includes an upper/outer panel member fixed to the window frame of the inner door panel. The lower edge of the upper/outer panel includes a fin which fits within a slot formed in the upper inboard edge of a removably attachable lower/outer panel member. Door hardware can be easily assembled onto the exposed inner panel prior to attaching the lower/outer panel to the door.

Abstract: The fireplace screen comprises a frame defining a central opening and including first and second pairs of vertical guide tracks along opposite lateral sides of the opening. A housing is mounted above the frame and a first flexible covering element is mounted for movement in the first pair of guide tracks. The first flexible covering element comprises a perforate mesh formed of heat resistant material. A second flexible covering element is mounted for movement in the second pair of guide tracks. The second covering element comprises an imperforate heat resistant material. A mechanism is mounted in the housing for individually raising and lowering the first and second covering elements in the guide tracks thereby covering and uncovering the central opening.

Abstract: A magnetically sealed sliding window system including a perimetric frame including header and base portions each defining a narrow channel for receiving a glazing pane and an adjacent second channel. A sliding panel is seated within the second channel. Longitudinal magnets are secured on the inner face of the sliding panel. Where the perimetric frame is formed of nonmagnetic material, magnets also are secured along the header and base second channel sections. No magnets are required on the perimetric frame when same is formed of magnetic material such as steel. In sealed condition, the sliding panel is positioned above the floor of the base channel with the panel magnetically held. The magnets have longitudinally extending magnetic poles establishing a magnetic coupling between adjacent unlike poles. The height of the sliding panel is less than the height of the frame.

Abstract: A unitized frame housing a slidable door. The main body of the frame is a single molded structure fittable between a pair of walls within a building. Guide means provided within the main body slidably receives a door which is opened and closed by an electric motor. Various linkages and gears connect the electric motor to the door. A neck integrally attached to the main body extends outwardly of the building walls housing the main body of the frame forms a passageway allowing access through the building walls and main body when the door is not closed. The neck flares outwardly providing a trim portion which seats outwardly of the building walls facilitating a smooth boundary between the building and neck. Means are provided for securing the unitized main body to the building.
