Abstract:
This invention relates to a pivot-hung door drive system with an electro-mechanical device that supplies the closing moment required for the opening and closing of the door, comprising a transmission which varies its translation ratio over the angle of rotation of the door, a guide that is connected with an output shaft and a driver roller that can execute a translation movement relative to the guide and in the guide, which driver roller is connected with a pinion that is engaged with a toothed rack that is connected with the spring system, whereby the axis of rotation of the output shaft is at a defined distance from the axis of rotation of the pinion, and the axis of rotation of the driver roller is at a defined distance from the axis of rotation of the pinion, such that when the output shaft and pinion are rotated, the translation ratio changes as a result of the changing axial distance between the output shaft and the driver roller.
Abstract:
A door closer includes a casing-like body enclosing a piston member, which is movable back and forth according to the movements of a door and is in cooperation with at least one closer spring, and a closer shaft and a pinion member connected thereto for transmitting the force of the movement of the door to the piston member. The pinion member is mounted on the closer shaft eccentrically with respect to its rolling curve. The piston member is casing-like and is provided with a toothing arranged at its inner surface. The rolling curve of the piston's toothing is at least substantially linear and is inclined relative to the axis of movement of the piston member. The pinion member is located inside the piston member in cooperation with the toothing of the piston member so that the force transmission moment of the pinion member is at its maximum in a position corresponding to the closed position of the door.
Abstract:
An overhead door system employs counterweights which operate through cables connected to a drum which tapers from one end to the other so that the effective force acting on the door in the opening direction is reduced as the proportion of the weight of the door to be supported reduces. The system is adjustable readily to accommodate different types of doors having different opening characteristics in terms of the proportion of the doors weight that must be counterbalanced at different stages of the door opening movement. The drum has a pair of continuous grooves extending side-by-side throughout its length, the counterweight being independently supported by each of a pair of cables laid in these grooves.
Abstract:
A compound counterbalance system for window sashes and the like, comprising: a biasing spring for easing operation of a window sash and the like, the biasing spring being movable at an inherently variable rate of force; a first biasing force transmission having a fixed rate of movement transmission part connected to the biasing spring and a variable rate of movement transmission part connected to the window sash and the like, the variable rate of movement transmission part having a variable rate of operation predetermined to automatically compensate for the variability of the biasing spring to provide substantial constancy of the biasing force throughout an operating range; and, a cable for interconnecting the biasing spring, the first biasing force transmission, and the window sash and the like, whereby loading forces on the first biasing force transmission are substantially constant throughout the operating range. The system may further comprise one or both of a second biasing force transmission connected intermediately of the variable rate of movement transmission part and the window sash and the like, for increasing the effective range of movement of the biasing spring; and, an adjuster for changing the effective magnitude of the biasing force throughout the operating range.
