  • FIG. 6 is an isometric drawing of the door actuator latching device
  • FIG. 7 is an elevational drawing of the clutch mechanism and its attachment to the actuator motor
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional drawing of the clutch
  • FIG. 10 is a side view of the embodiment wherein a pivot bar operates the door locking and latching mechanism
  • FIG. 11 is an elevational drawing of the movable door actuator with associated locking and latching devices
  • FIG. 12 is a top view of the embodiment wherein locking and unlocking mechanisms utilize the lower track of actuator housing;
  • FIG. 13 is an elevational section view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 12.
  • FIGS. 1-7 With special emphasis on FIG. I, there is seen a movable door member 1 which has rotational capabilities about an axis through a plurality of hinges 3 attached to stationary chassis 5 at one end and to movable door member 1 on the other end.
  • An electrical switchbox 10 is attached to stationary chassis 5 at a convenient location for the operator.
  • An electrical switch 15 on electrical switchbox I0 activates actuator motor 25.
  • Electrical cabling 20 passing between electrical switchbox 10 through stationary chassis 5 to movable door member 1, and then attached to actuator motor 25 is the electrical conduit for operation of actuator motor 25.
  • Actuator motor 25 drives flexible shaft 30 attached at one end to actuator motor 25 and at the other end to clutch box 35.
  • Flexible shaft 30 is constructed of a base wire bound cable enclosed in a flexible casing of cylindrical form with layered, suitably resilient material such as steel or fiberglass. End fitting 32 attaches flexible shaft 30 to actuator motor 25 on one end and on the opposing end to clutch box 35. Clutch box 35 will later be described in detail.
  • Flexible shaft 30 allows actuator motor 25 to be placed at various locations on movable door member 1 which point is dictated by the ease of installation. Flexible shaft 30 also has the advantage of minimizing the noise level that may occur if a rigid drive were incorporated between motor 25 and door actuator 40.
  • Bevel gear 60 is force fitted into gear pin 70 which is also force fitted to spur gear 65 approximately one-half the diameter of bevel gear 60. Bevel gear and spur gear are forced into contact on mating surfaces in the plane of rotation. in order to assume contact with no slipping between the surfaces, two flat screws 66 are attached through bevel gear 60 to spur gear 65. Extending from the upper surface of bevel gear 60 is gear pin 70 which further extends through gear box cover plate through a hole 100 which of sufficient diameter to allow rotation of bevel gear 60. Pin 70 also extends below the lower surface of spur gear 65 and rotates freely in a pin hole of sufficient diameter in the base of gear box housing 45 to allow complete rotation of the gear mechanism.
  • lock actuator spring 150 is free floating and not joined to drive plate 140, and further is in a pre-compressed position before actuation of door actuator 40.
  • Latch rod 153 is cylindrical in shape and holds both lock actuator spring 150 and latch spring 152 in place by their attachment to lock spring head 156 and latch spring head 158 at opposing ends of latch rod 153.
  • lock actuator spring 150 and latch spring 152 are separated from each other by latch bar rear surface 147 and are in contact with latch bar 145 on opposing surfaces 205 and 210 respectively. Translation of latch bar 145 will not move latch rod 153 and its attached member cylindrical bar 155, however, movement of latch bar 145 does cause latch release cable to move.
  • Latch release cable 180 is attached to latch bar 145 by latch release cable head 175. Movement of latch release cable 180 causes a tension stress to be applied to latch mechanism 200 which in turn opens the latch and lock mechanism.
  • Door actuator housing 40 is basically rectangular in nature, symmetrically cast in order to allow general movement of latching rod mechanism 153 to be placed either in upper track 310 or in lower track 315. This symmetrical design allows for flexibility in constructing the entire mechanism, and further allows an embodiment which will be later explained in detail.
  • Elongated opening 320 passes entirely through door actuator housing 40 and is centrally located. Elongated opening 320 allows the door actuator housing 40 to be attached by means of screw enplacements to movable door member 1 at various locations.
  • Two housing coverplates 330 and 335 are used to protect door actuator housing 40 from external environment and are separate and distinct in order that any repairs in one section can be made without opening the other cover plate.
  • Driving sprocket 120 passes through a hole 340 sufficient in diameter to allow free movement of driving sprocket pin 90.
  • Driving sprocket hole 340 extends throughout the width of door actuator housing 40.
  • Movable sprocket hole 345 is drilled on the opposing side of the elongated opening 320, this movable sprocket hole 345 is sufficient in diameter to accept the pin from movable sprocket 130.
  • An embodiment to the actuating mechanism includes locking device 215 to utilize lower track 315 of door actuator housing 40. Attached to drive chain is contact roller 380 held in place and in rigid fashion to chain drive 125 by bolt 385 and nut 390 on the opposing surface of chain drive 125 with contact between contact roller 380 and chain drive 125 interspersed with plate 395. Upon actuation of the locking cycle contact roller 380 moves until it is in contact with contact end plate 355, the entire catch plate 350 now is translated along lower track 315. Catch plate 350 is held in movable contact with lower track 315 by a movable screw 370 through slot 365 in the lower base of catch plate 350.
  • FIG. 10 Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 10 wherein release of the door latch mechanism 425 does not automatically release the lock 270.
  • This embodiment is seen on certain types of automobile doors and the attachment to automatically release both the lock 270 and the separate door latch mechanism 425 is added for the sake of completeness.
  • Pivot bar 350 made of hardened steel, is pivoted around a pivot bar pin 375 and is rigidly attached to structural members on the movable door member 1.
  • Movement of pivot bar 490 causes a tension induced movement on door latch cable 410 which is connected to pivot bar 490 by door latch washer 405 resting on the upper surface of pivot bar 490.
  • Pivot bar door latch cable hole 407 is of sufficient diameter to allow passage of door latch cable 410 but not large enough to allow passage of door latch washer 405.
  • Door latch cable 410 is encased in a stationary door latch cable housing 420 which is attached rigidly to movable door member 1 through door latch cable housing head 415. Movement of door latch cable 410 causes unlatching of door latch mechanism 425.
  • latch actuator spring 435 Compressive forces of latch actuator spring 435 are transmitted to latch plate 445 which allows linear movement of latch tube 440 with respect to latch bolt 450'.
  • Latch bolt 450 is rigidly attached to movable door member 1 on one end and allows movement of latch tube 440 by two latch slots 455 milled into the upper and lower surface of latch tube 440. Movement of latch tube 440 causes latch release cable 180 to compressively stress latching mechanism 425 by causing latch release cable 180 to move with respect to stationary cable housing 185 which is rigidly attached to latch tube end plate 460.
  • Latch deactivation spring 465 coiled within latch tube 440 and in contact with latch plate 445 on one end and latch tube end plate 460 on the other end, forces door actuator housing 40 to a non-stressed position.
  • door actuator housing 40 In a locking operation, door actuator housing 40 translates in the opposite direction leading to compressive spring stresses of latch deactivation spring 465 on latch plate 445.
  • Locking pin bar 475 attached to latch tube 440 by lock rigid pin 470 pulls locking cable 235 with respect to stationary locking cable housing 245 which in turn is rigidly attached to latch bolt 450. Operation of this action pulls lock 270 to a closed position, thereby automatically locking the door.
  • latch means responsive to the initial actuation from a initial position of said drive means by said motor means for operating said locking and said latching mechanisms to unlock and unlatch said moveable door section prior to said moveable door section having imparted thereto a rotational velocity
  • locking means driven by said drive means in response to said second direction movement of said drive means for operating said locking mechanism to lock said moveable door section upon engagement of said moveable door section with said stationary post.
  • said drive means includes a drive plate rigidly coupled to a chain drive means, said drive plate in contact with said latch means to sequentially actuate said latch means, to contact and linearly translate said locking means, to return to said initial position upon completion of a cycle.
  • said latch means comprises a spring loaded cylindrical rod moving in linear translation responsive to the movement of said drive plate, and in contact with said stationary post of said door.
  • said spring loaded cylindrical rod includes a flexible actuator coupling cylindrical in nature attached in a rigid manner to allow said door actuator device to rotate through an opening cycle.
  • the latch means includes a spring actuated rod with a moveable cable capable of movement with respect to said door actuator causing a release of said locking and said latching mechanisms.
  • said locking means includes moveable head means coupled to said locking mechanism, said drive means contacting and moving said moveable head until a lock position of said locking mechanism is attained, means for thereafter returning said drive means to an initial position thereby allowing free translation of said moveable head and said locking mechanism allowing manual operation of said locking mechanism.
  • latch means responsive to the initial actuation from an initial position of said drive means by said motor means for operating said locking and said latching mechanisms to unlock and unlatch said moveable door section prior to said moveable door section having imparted thereto a rotational velocity
  • means for locking said door is actuated by a locking cable attached rigidly to said metal tube whereby a stationary locking cable housing is rigidly attached to said screw, and said locking cable is rigidly attached to said metal tube on one end and said locking mechanism on the opposing end, movement of said metal tubing with respect to said door imparts motion respectively to said locking cable and said locking mechanism, thereby forcing said door to a lock position.
