    Abstract: A laterally symmetrical bi-folding door assembly permits manual operation in the event of a power failure, without requiring readjustment or realignment of any of the door components for operation when power is restored. Each (left and right) door assembly comprises a pair of rigid panels, with the panels hingedly attached to the jamb edge of the door opening having a width substantially half that of the main panels. The two main panels are pivotally secured to upper drive mechanisms along their vertical centerlines, and abut one another along the doorway vertical centerline when the door assembly is closed. When they door assembly is opened, the inwardly disposed edges of the jamb panels and attached outward lateral edges of the main panels, move inwardly. The central edges of the two central panels thus swing outwardly relative to the building structure, due to their vertical centerline attachment to the drive mechanism.

    Abstract: An automatic gate operator includes an electric drive motor coupled by a drive train to a movable gate, and includes provisions for sensing an actual or impending obstruction or blockage of the movement of the gate by a human, object, or animal, for example. In response to such an actual or impending blocking of the gate's movement, the drive motor is shut off and the gate is braked to a stop. Then the gate is reversed to move a short distance away from the actual or impending blockage or obstruction, and is braked again to a stop. Next, the gate is freed from its connection with the drive motor, allowing manual movement of the gate to allow clearance of the actual or impending blockage or obstruction from the path of the gate. This stop-reverse-stop-release sequence of movements for the gate may release any entrapped person or object which may have been contacted by the moving gate. Also, after the gate is released for free movement it can be moved manually. This release of the gate allows an entangled person, object, or animal to free themselves, or to be freed by a bystander, for example. The gate operator also includes a control circuit which senses traffic conditions and responds by incrementing or decrementing a timer which controls a pause interval of the gate in its fully-opened position.

    Abstract: A thin window regulator which can be assembled easily and which requires less installation space inside a door panel is disclosed. Both longitudinal ends of a belt are connected to a pair of sliders and the belt is made into a ring shape. Sliders are movable along a guide rail and are biased closer to each other by springs. Thus, since the ring-shaped belt is wound around a sprocket and the sliding portion, tension is not reduced by a creep phenomenon and the belt does not loosen. One end of the ring shaped belt is formed to be wound around the sliding portion. Thus, the window regulator can be made thinner compared with prior art systems in which both ends of a belt are wound around pulleys and a required installation space inside the door at the upper portion of the guide rail can be made thinner.

    Abstract: A gate opening and closing apparatus for moving a gate between a gate closed position which covers an access opening and a gate opened position. The apparatus comprises an electric motor for driving the gate between the open position and the closed position. A connecting arrangement connects the electric motor to the gate in order to enable powered movement of the gate between the gate opened and gate closed positions. A control unit in the form of a microprocessor control unit is operatively connected to the electric motor for control of the same and hence control of the movement of the gate. The gate normally remains unlocked at the closed position and is only locked when a force is applied to the gate tending to move same to the open position. In one embodiment, a positive locking mechanism, such as a solenoid lock may be provided and which is automatically locked when an opening force is applied to the gate. In another embodiment, the gate is not positively locked and the electric motor applies a closing force to the gate to overcome any effort of an opening movement. The gate opening and closing mechanism is uniquely constructed in that there is no gear box which would otherwise preclude a manual opening of the gate in the event of emergency.
