Abstract:
Overhead door assemblies having both interlocking and releasable guide assemblies, and multi-piece guide track assemblies for use with same are disclosed herein. An overhead door track configured in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes a first side portion formed from a first piece of material and a second side portion formed from a second piece of material. The first side portion has a first guide surface and a first retention surface. The second side portion has a second guide surface and a second retention surface. In one aspect of this embodiment, the first side portion is joined to the second side portion to define an open channel or gap region therebetween. The first and second guide surfaces extend from the gap region toward a first direction, and the first and second retention surfaces diverge from the gap region toward a second direction, opposite to the first direction. The first and second retention surfaces can be configured to movably retain a door guide member.
Abstract:
Overhead door guide assemblies, guide tracks, and guide track support brackets are disclosed herein. An overhead door track assembly configured in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes a vertical track segment mounted to a wall adjacent an opening therein, and a curved track segment operably coupled to the vertical track segment. The curved track segment includes a first guide surface spaced apart from a second guide surface to define a first gap region that movably receives the door guide members as the door moves away from the opening. The track assembly further includes a non-vertical track segment operably coupled to the curved track segment. The non-vertical track segment includes a third guide surface spaced apart from a fourth guide surface to define a second gap region that movably receives the door guide members from the curved track segment. In this embodiment, the second gap region is wider than the first gap region to reduce binding as the door moves onto the non-vertical track segment.
Abstract:
There is provided a window and door frame for doors and windows built in a wall of a building. The window and door frame includes an extruded frame member. One face of the frame member is formed along a length direction thereof with a rail insertion groove. The window and door frame further includes a rail structure adapted to be combined with the rail insertion groove. The rail insertion groove is formed with engagement grooves, while the rail structure is formed with engagement projections. The rail structure is easily combined to and removed from the frame member by means of engagement between the engagement projections and the engagement grooves. Since the rail structure is attachable and detachable, a heavier door can be conveniently installed and the window and door frame can be easily cleaned up. Further, only a damaged rail structure can be replaced.
Abstract:
Provided is a door system including a door and a door sill. The door is coupled with a push-resistant device including a protruding plate hook. The door sill is coupled with a locking device. The push-resistant device is coupled and locked into the locking device when the door is closed.
Abstract:
A mechanism for the installment of a door or other similar closure having a rotational-sliding movement, of the type comprising the following elements to associate to a shutter: first pivot means defining a first vertical axis for the pivoting of a shutter, in a substantially central region thereof, to translation means arranged so as to slide in a corresponding guide associated to the upper strut of a frame of a door; second pivot means with an axis parallel to the axis of the first pivot means, for the pivoting of two arms, a first upper one and a second lower one, that are both pivoted with one of their ends to the frame of the door or closure in proximity to a jamb to define a second rotation axis, and have the opposite ends reciprocally rigidly coupled by means of a rod, defining a third rotation axis interposed between the first axis and the second axis, passing through the shutter in the direction of the height thereof. The second pivot means are rigidly coupled to the frame with means for adjusting the distance of the second rotation axis from the nearby jamb of the door or the like; further the rod is fixed to at least one of the two arms with a rigid connection device that provides a non-welded joint between the rod and the arms. Such mechanism according to the invention facilitates and improves the installment of doors having a rotational-sliding movement.
Abstract:
A sliding door mounting assembly for slidably mounting a door panel to an overhead track. The sliding door mounting assembly includes a hanging bracket member and an anti-derailing pin. The hanging bracket member is securable to the door panel, slidably engageable with the track, and has a channel extending therethrough. The anti-derailing pin has an outer surface with at least one tooth protruding outwardly therefrom, is insertable in the channel and is configurable in an anti-derailing position where at least one of the teeth is engaged with the hanging bracket member and a leading end of the anti-derailing pin abuts the track, preventing the hanging bracket member having the door panel secured thereto from derailing from the track.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sliding element, which is suspended and guided on a running track by means of roller carriers or gliding elements, using running track retainers that are connected to a substructure and engage with the underside of the running track. The invention also relates to an anti-removal device, which comprises a locking elements that can be pressed elastically against the running track and that yields when crossed by a running track retainer.
Abstract:
A trolley system for positioning the door of a railway boxcar to cover or uncover an opening in a wall of the boxcar has an upper track mounted to the boxcar and an upper trolley with at least one roller rotatably secured therein and co-acting with the upper track. A safety plate restricts the vertical motion of the roller to prevent derailment of the trolley from the track. The safety plate may include various designs to maximize the retention of the wheel against the track. A boxcar utilizing either a simple sliding door or a sliding door having a plug-type door associated with it may utilize this trolley system.
Abstract:
A sliding element system with at least one sliding element (2), at least one supporting element (4) extending in a displacement direction, and with at least one sliding element fitting (6,8) displaceable along the supporting element (4) and holding the sliding element (2). The sliding element (2) is formed at least partially of a transparent material and includes at least two transparent conducting current paths (10,12) which invisibly supply power to a power consumer (14) such as an illumination device, of the sliding element (2), and the transparent conducting current paths (10,12) are adapted to be supplied with power via the at least one sliding element fitting (6, 8).
Abstract:
A moveable sliding glass door track clip guide, ideally formed of plastic, and attached to the bead on the top of the rail on the sill which is subsequently secured in place by a sliding glass door track clip cover which will inhibit the door from jumping the track in strong wind loads. The guide contributes significantly to the general security of the SGD installation, since SGD's, by design, must be lifted then set upon their track. The guide slidably engages the upper bead on the track on the sill and thus resists the effort of the door to jump off the track by actually gripping the track itself. The method of the present invention involves the steps of first positioning a moveable panel in place. Thereafter, the main attachment screw is removed, and passed through the clip assembly. Only after the track clip guide has been positioned over the bead on the rail. The track clip cover is then secured over the track clip guide to lock the lower jaws of the track clip guide against any scissor-like action which would assist in dislodging the same.
