Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for operating a garage door. An embodiment of an operating mechanism for a door includes a shaft, a drum, an energy storing member, and a swivel body. The shaft is coupled to the door such that the shaft rotates in a first direction as the door is opened and rotates in a second direction as the door is closed. The coupling of the shaft to the door is typically accomplished by a cable. The drum is coupled to the shaft and the energy storing member is coupled to the drum by another cable. The energy storing member is arranged such that the energy storing member stores energy as the door is closed and releases stored energy as the door is opened to assist in the raising and lowering of the door.

Abstract: The assembly comprises an extension spring (3) anchored at one end to a winch (4) mounted to the door opening frame (5). A double-grooved pulley (10) is mounted on a plate (7) secured to the free end of the spring. A fixed second double-grooved pulley (11) is mounted to the door frame (5). A pair of cables (22, 23) are anchored at one end to the door frame (5) and extend in parallel to pass around the two pulleys (10, 11). After the second pulley (11), the cables separate and extend down to the bottom corners of the door (2), to which they are secured. Upon release of the door latch with the door down, the spring contracts and, through the first pulley, applies an equal pull to the two cables so that they move at the same rate, thereby raising the door smoothly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a discretionarily adjustable friction force block and tackle balance system comprising a housing and an adjustable break, wherein means are provided for adjusting the friction force between an inner surface of the housing and the adjustable break. An adjustable balance system comprising a housing, a floating anchor assembly, a fixed anchor assembly, a cord, and an elastic suspension is also disclosed. In an embodiment, the housing is a 3-side or 4-side tube or channel. There is at least one elongated hole or slit on at least one surface of said housing. An adjustable break is mounted inside the floating anchor subassembly. Moving the window sash also causes the floating anchor subassembly to move. When the floating anchor subassembly is moved to a position just under elongated hole on the said housing, the adjust screw installed in the adjustable break is exposed. The desired friction force can be easily created and adjusted by turning the adjust screw in the appropriate direction to splay or retract the adjustable break for balancing window sashes having widely varying sizes and weights.

Abstract: In a block and tackle window balance, the balance shoe holds and upwardly biases the terminal connector in a mounted position. A biasing element of the shoe maintains the terminal connector in a pocket of the shoe during operation of the balance. The terminal connector is prevented from laterally exiting the pocket in the mounted position by a widened portion on the terminal connector and a locating surface extending from the shoe toward the pocket. Manually pressing down on the biasing element or the terminal connector itself to lower the terminal connector in the pocket until the widened portion clears the locating surface allows lateral removal of the terminal connector from the pocket. During operation of the balance, however, the terminal connector does not experience a sufficient downward force to overcome the upward bias such that the widened portion never clears the locating surface.

Abstract: A mechanism and method for operating a track-mounted door is disclosed. The mechanism includes a pair of side drums that are connected by first cables to the bottom of the door. The side drums are coaxially mounted on a shaft for simultaneous rotation with a pair of cable drums. The cable drums are connected to high pressure gas struts by second cables. Each second cable is carried around a shiv wheel that slides along a guide track as the second cable moves. Each shiv wheel is operatively connected to one of the gas struts. As the shiv wheel moves along the guide track toward the cable drum, the gas strut is charged. As the shiv wheel moves away from the cable drum, the gas strut is discharged. A standard electric motor and screw driven lift-arm is used to initiate the opening and closing of the door. The charged gas strut stores sufficient energy to overcome friction and gravity to assist the electric motor and lift-arm to open the door.
