Abstract (en)

A control system for a closure (1) such as an automotive door pivoted on hinges (3 and 4) comprises a torque sensing device (7) that monitors the operating torque applied to the closure (1), a movement sensing device (8) for monitoring movement of the closure (1) and a logic controller (6) responsive to the signals from the sensing devices (7 and 8) to cause a restraining mechanism (5) to apply or release a braking force to the closure (1). The control system prevents movement of the closure (1) until a pre-determined operating force is applied to the closure (1) and applies a braking force to the closure (1) when movement of the closure (1) is slower or faster than pre-determined speeds. <IMAGE>
