Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to barrier assemblies, and more particularly, to the coupling of a barrier operator to the barrier that the operator is to move. In one embodiment, a barrier operator coupling includes a wedge member that is fixedly attached to an output shaft of the barrier operator. A housing is brought to bear against a wedge member, and an adjustment device is used to maintain the force between the wedge member and the housing.
Abstract:
A gate opening and closing apparatus, typically referred to as a "gate operator" and which automatically moves a gate, such as a swinging gate between opened and closed positions. The gate operator of the invention employs a power unit, such as an electrically motor driven power unit which rotates a power arm. A crank arm is releasably connected to the power arm and movable therewith. In addition, the crank arm is, in turn, connected to a connecting arm which has one end connected to the gate for movement of the gate. The invention relies upon the use of a swing movement control mechanism in place of stop rings which were previously used to control the limits of movement of the gate. The swing movement control mechanism comprises a swing movement control plate shiftable along the crank arm so that the connecting arm which is also pivoted on the swing movement control plate can be connected to a gate having a desired swing or so-called "throw". The swing movement control mechanism includes an upstanding toggle which controls limit of movement of the connecting arm and also includes a pair of downwardly projecting flanges which also limits the movement of the connecting arm.
Abstract:
A line belt driven retrofittable door opener includes a motor, a drive link, an output link, and at least one flexible link. The at least one flexible link includes at least one flexible line link. The drive link is connected to the motor. The output link is connected to the arm of the door. The at least one flexible link interconnects the drive link with the output link. Wherein, the motor is configured for opening the door by rotating the drive link, which in turn rotates the output link via the at least one flexible link, which in turn rotates the arm, thereby opening the door.

Abstract:
A mine door system comprising at least one mine door leaf hinged at one side to a door frame defining an entry. The system includes an articulated door-moving mechanism that articulates between a first configuration in which the mechanism applies a relatively small door-moving force to the door leaf to move it at a first speed and a second configuration in which the mechanism applies a larger door-moving force to the door leaf to move it at a second speed less than the first speed. A related method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
In a door trim assembly for a vehicle door having an opening fitted with a vertically moveable window pane and a drive unit for driving the window pane for selectively closing the opening, the door trim assembly includes: a door trim main body configured to be attached to an inboard side part of the vehicle door under the opening; at least one transmitter provided in an upper part of the door trim main body; at least one receiver provided in an upper part of the door trim main body and configured to receive a signal emitted from the transmitter and reflected by an object positioned near the window pane; and a control unit connected to the receiver to compute a position of the object according to the signal received by the receiver and control the drive unit according to the computed position of the object.
Abstract:
A pivoting fitting for pivoting a flap hinged on a furniture body, comprising an energy accumulator fastened to a connecting part which can be connected to a body wall, and a lever arrangement which is operatively connected to the energy accumulator and has at least one articulated lever, is configured such that the energy accumulator is connected to a control element comprising a cam disc which is fixed but rotatable with respect to the connecting part, which control element is connected in a movement-dependent manner to the articulated lever which is held on the one side on the connecting part and can be held on the other side on the flap, and is rotated when the articulated lever is pivoted, wherein in one pivoted end position, the energy accumulator is clamped, and in the other end position is unclamped relative thereto, and wherein the cam disc has a control contour with varying radius of curvature, on which cam disc the energy accumulator is held.
Abstract:
Provided are door systems having a plurality of door panels and a frame, the door panels being movable between an extended position closing an opening in a building structure, and a folded retracted position. When in the extended position, the door panels interlock with each other forming a barrier to wind, dirt, dust and insects. The frame is movably attached to the building structure and when the door panels are in the extended position, the frame moves and engages the door panels with a sealing member to provide an airtight seal of the opening in the building structure.
