Abstract:
A door closer having a door arresting mechanism to arrest a door in an opened position that includes a cylinder and piston assembly wherein the arresting mechanism includes a cam member having an arresting dwell cam profile and an indexing profile, and an associated cam follower member wherein one member is connected to the piston rod and the other member to the cylinder so that one member is fixedly connected to either the cylinder or piston rod and the other member rendered rotatable relative to the fixed member so that the arresting mechanism is rendered self actuating upon the opening or closing of the door.
Abstract:
A readily adjustable door closure for varying the rate of speed at which an associated door may close which is effected by rotating the piston rod relative to the piston and associated cylinder assembly so as to vary the rate of flow of an actuating fluid flowing from one side of the piston to the other side of the piston, which controls the door closing speed accordingly.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses door closers provided with automatic latching in any position along the stroke, and delayed action mechanism together with a mechanism to switch on and off the automatic latching and the delayed action operation modes. The function, on which the automatic latching and the delayed action functions are based, are described in detail and examples of embodiments in door closers provided with either automatic latching or delayed action or both are also described.
