Abstract: A plug for use in a counterbalancing mechanism of a cable-operated door. The plug is used for operatively connecting an overhead shaft to a torsion spring co-axially mounted thereon. The plug includes a cylindrical collar an d a cylindrical flange. The cylindrical collar has opposite first and second portions and is provided with a hooking slot for hooking a free end of the torsion spring thereon, the torsion spring having a segment coaxially mounted about the first portio n of the collar. The cylindrical flange is rigidly affixed to the second portion of t he collar and is used for transferring a torque between the torsion spring and the overhea d shaft when the flange is securely fixed about the overhead shaft. The plug is characterized in that the collar is eccentrically mounted about the overhead shaft, thereby allowing the plug to be used when the radial space between the plug and the overhead shaft is limited and also preventing the overhead shaft from being damaged by the free end of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A container (10) for fluids or liquids such as beverages and the like is formed of flexible material such as plastic and includes a body (12) having an internal reservoir (14) and a tubular spout (30) extending upwardly from the body. The spout has an internal passage (32) in fluid communication with the reservoir. A constriction (34) in the container creates a low pressure zone in the passage downstream of the constriction as liquid flows from the reservoir into the spout. Means are also provided to inflate the spout as fluid flows along the internal passage. A method of forming fluid-filled containers from a tube (58) of flexible material and a method of forming a self-supporting fluidfilled container are also disclosed.

Abstract: A plug for operatively connecting an extremity of a torsion spring to another corresponding component of a counterbalancing assembly. The plug includes a collar and at least one connecting flange. The collar defines a longitudinal axis, and includes first and second opposite ends, the collar being shaped and sized for removably mounting onto the extremity of the torsion spring. Each connecting flange is provided on the first end of the collar for connecting the plug onto the corresponding component of the counterbalancing assembly. The improvement lies in that the collar has first and second sections, the first section being adjacent to the first end of the collar and having a peripheral surface being provided with threading for threadedly engaging the extremity of the torsion spring, and the second section being adjacent to the second end of the collar and having a peripheral surface being tapered with respect to the peripheral surface of the first section so as to minimize interference with an internal portion of the torsion spring when the collar is removably mounted onto the extremity of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A plug for operatively connecting a torsion spring onto a corresponding component of a counterbalancing mechanism of a door assembly. The plug includes a connecting portion for removably connecting the plug onto the corresponding component, a substantially cylindrical collar insertable into an end portion of the torsion spring, an anchoring portion disposed on a bottom section of the collar for cooperating with a coil of the end portion of the torsion spring so as to pivotally anchor the collar onto the end portion of the torsion spring, and a clip projecting from a top section of the collar, and being disposed at a location on the collar substantially diametrically opposite from where the anchoring portion is disposed on the bottom section of the collar. The clip is shaped and sized for clasping past an end coil of the torsion spring and operatively engaging with the same so as to securely mount the plug onto the end portion of the torsion spring in a clip-like manner, thereby enabling the plug to be mounted onto the torsion spring quickly and easily.

Abstract: A ratchet-like assembly for winding a counterbalancing mechanism of a door. The ratchet-like assembly includes at least one plate, at least one ridge, an actuator, and at least one pawling element. Each plate is operatively mounte d onto a fixed structure and includes an orifice through which extends a shaft of the counterbalancing mechanism and about which the shaft is rotatable along opposite first and second directions of rotation. Each ridge is provided abo ut an outer edge of the corresponding orifice. The actuator is operatively connect ed to each plate and is operable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. Each pawling element is mounted onto the actuator and is positioned within a corresponding ridge, adjacent to the shaft, Each ridge a nd each corresponding pawling element are shaped and sized so that when the actuator is operated in the locked configuration, each pawling element is operatively pressed against the shaft and its corresponding ridge for preventing the shaft from rotating along the first direction of rotation, and when the actuator is operated in the unlocked configuration, each pawling element is operative ly urged away from the shaft and its corresponding ridge for allowing the shaft to rotate along both the first and second directions of rotation. Thepresent ratchet- like assembly enables to easily install and calibrate counterbalancing mechanisms of various types of door assemblies where a torque must be applie d and maintained onto a given shaft of the door assembly.

Abstract: A winding system for winding a rolling door assembly. The winding system includes a support bracket, first and second gears. The suppart brack et is preferably rigidly connectable to a fixed structure of the rolling door assembly, and has a receiving device and a supporting device. The first gear is pivotally mounted about the receiving device of the support bracket and rotatable thereabout along opposite first and second directions of rotation. The second gear is pivotal ly mounted about the supporting device of the support bracket and rotatable thereabout along opposite first and second directions of rotation. The secon d gear is operatively connected to a corresponding end of the counterbalancing spri ng of the rolling door assembly and is also threadedly engaged with the first gear such that, a rotation of the first gear along one of its first and second directions of rotation causes the second gear to rotate along a corresponding one of its first and second directions of rotation, thereby resulting in a corresponding winding of the counterbalancing spring of the rolling door assembly.
