    Abstract: A sectional gate assembly to move a sectional gate between an open position and a closed position by an upper and lower closing element. The upper closing element is flexibly connected with the lower closing element, and both the upper and lower closing elements each have a first and a second opposite side and one or more guides which are arranged on each of the first and second opposite sides of the closing elements. The sectional gate assembly includes a first and a second single track guide rail. The first and second guide rails each have a vertical section and a horizontal section connected with a curved portion. One or more of the guides on the upper and lower closing elements are adapted to move within the guide rail. A weight-counterbalancer is included in the sectional gate assembly. The weight-counterbalancer has a traction mechanism which engages at a first end on one of the upper and/or lower said closing elements, and at a second end on an energy accumulator which allows the lower closing element to move into the horizontal section of the rail guides. The weight-counterbalancer also includes a deflection roller for the traction mechanism which is arranged beneath the horizontal section of the rail guides so that the weight-counterbalancer exerts, by way of the traction mechanism, a pulling force that acts generally horizontally on the lower closing element in the gate open position. The pulling force acts generally vertically on the lower closing element in the gate closed position. The sectional gate assembly further includes a mechanism to swivel an upper edge of the upper closing element out of alignment with the guide rails in the closed position. The mechanism includes a pivoting lever attached to the upper closing element and has an arrangement to drive the upper closing element from a first position in the gate open position into a second position in the gate closed position and back to the first position.

    Abstract: A control system is provided for a door positioning assembly having a door mounted on a track. The door is movable between an open position and a closed position. The door has a leading edge adjacent a door opening, an edge arranged to define a second opening, and a pass door pivotably coupled to the second opening. The control system includes a proximity detector for providing a door position signal in response to the position of the door on the track system, and a user input for providing user input signals including open inputs, stop inputs including signals provided by a stop button of a user-operated switch, and close inputs in response to user commands. The system also includes a plurality of sensors for providing stop input signals in response to the position of an object located within a detection zone adjacent the door opening, in response to contact between an object and the leading edge of the door, and in response to the position of the pass door. The system further includes a signal processor to provide controller instructions in response to the door position signal and the user input signals, and a controller configured to vary the speed and direction of travel of the door in response to the controller instructions.

    Abstract: An improved load compensator for a spring counter-weighting mechanism including a snail cam to provide a constant counter-weight force is described. The cam provides a constant torque to a drum on which are wound cables for exerting a constant counter-weighting force. A manually operable device for altering the relative radial positions of the cam and drum varies the amount of the constant counter-weighting force. The cam is rotated with respect to the drum by a spur gear fitting within a ring gear fixed to the drum and rotated by a knob connected to an axle carrying a pinion gear engaging the spur gear.

    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.
