Abstract:
Disclosed is a method (50) of providing finger pinch protection at a hinge area of a swing door-based entrance system (1) having a motorized automatic door operator (30) for opening (2) of the swing door (10) in an automatic mode of the entrance system (1), wherein the entrance system (1) also has a manual mode in which a human user may cause opening and closing of the swing door (10) by manual force. The method involves monitoring (52), by a first sensor function (S1), for presence of a person or object in a first zone (PD) at the first door leaf surface (12-1) and non-proximate to a vertical door edge (14). The method also involves monitoring, by a second sensor function (S2), for presence of a person or object in a second zone (PDHA) at the first door leaf surface (12-1) and proximate to said vertical door edge (14). When any of the first sensor function (S1) or second sensor function (S2) detects presence in the first zone (PD) or second zone (PDHA) in the automatic mode during an ongoing opening of the swing door (10), the automatic door operator (30) is controlled so as to stop opening of the swing door (10). When the second sensor function (S2) detects presence in the second zone (PDHA) in the manual mode, the automatic door operator (30) is controlled so as to counteract an attempt by a human user to manually open the swing door (10). A corresponding entrance system (1) is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A carbon monoxide detection assembly includes a detection unit that may be positioned in an enclosed area. The detection unit includes a carbon monoxide sensor to detect carbon monoxide in the enclosed area. A remote unit is in electrical communication with a garage door opener and the detection unit. The remote unit turns the garage door opener on when the carbon monoxide sensor detects carbon monoxide. A valve is fluidly coupled to a fuel source for a gas appliance and the valve is in electrical communication with the detection unit. The valve restricts the fuel from flowing to the gas appliance when the detection unit detects carbon monoxide. A communication unit is in electrical communication with an emergency responder and the detection unit. The communication unit alerts the emergency responder that carbon monoxide has been detected in the enclosed area.
Abstract:
This device comprises: a pneumatic cylinder (34), a gas generator (36), a chamber (6, 8) for atmospheric venting, with: an inlet with a connection to the gas generator (36), a first outlet, a second outlet, a valve (16) having a first side (24) and a second side (26) which can change position under the effect of a gas generated by the gas generator and comprising a passage (22) between the two sides (24, 26) obstructed by means which are clearable based on the pressure, where said shuttle-valve (16) is mobile between: a first position allowing connection to the first outlet and the second outlet and isolating the inlet from the first outlet and the second outlet; and a second position allowing connection of the inlet with the first outlet and isolating the second outlet from the inlet and the first outlet.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an oven includes an oven chamber operable to be heated and having a front opening. The oven further includes a frame coupled to and at least partially surrounding the oven chamber. The oven further includes a door operable to seal the front opening of the oven chamber, and a pair of hinges pivotally coupling the door to the frame. Each hinge is positioned on opposing sides of the oven chamber. The oven further includes a pair counterweights that are each coupled to the rear portion of a respective hinge, and a pair of dampers. Each damper is coupled to the frame and operable to resist movement of the door in a single direction opposite that of the other damper.
Abstract:
A door opening/closing apparatus automatically opens and closes a door, and the door is supported by a vehicle body such that the door can open and close in a vertical direction. A plurality of link members connect the door and the vehicle body, and at least one of the link members is driven by the drive motor. A drive motor is provided integrally on or within at least one of the link members, and a connection shaft connects the link member having the drive motor and another link member that is adjacent to the former link member. The connection shaft is rotated by the drive motor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for opening a passenger door (1) of an aircraft in case of emergency, which is fastened so it is manually pivotable on the fuselage (3) of the aircraft via a hinge and/or support arm configuration (2), an auxiliary-energy-operated emergency opening drive (4) being provided between the fuselage (3) and the passenger door (1), which automatically opens the passenger door (1) in accordance with an emergency control unit (5), the auxiliary energy for the emergency opening drive (4) being pyrotechnic energy, whose gas expanding inside an expansion chamber (6) after triggering by the emergency control unit (5) impinges the emergency opening drive (4) with pressure medium to open the passenger door (1), wherein said emergency opening drive (4) generates a rotational movement.
Abstract:
A lock device includes a cam portion including a stationary-side cam; a rotor including a movable-side cam; a slide groove; a slide projection; an engagement projection; and a lock groove, in which the movable-side cam is disengaged from the stationary-side cam, so that the rotor rotates so as to allow the engagement projection that has been fitted in the lock portion to disengage from the lock portion. The urging device includes a spring, and a sleeve inserted to pass through a lower-side rod portion, positioned between the rotor and the spring, and also restricting a movement of the rod in a sliding direction in a lock position of the lock device (for example, a lock groove and an engagement projection, and the like).
Abstract:
A refrigerator of the embodiment includes a cabinet in which a storage chamber is formed; a door that is connected to the cabinet and opens and closes the storage chamber; and a door opening apparatus that is provided in the cabinet and opens the door, wherein the door opening apparatus includes: a push member that contacts a rear surface of the door and pushes the rear surface of the door by a rotation operation and a driver that is connected to the push member and generates power for moving the push member.
Abstract:
A cover opening-closing apparatus includes a base member having a guide groove, a cover member that is provided with a guide cylinder part disposed so as to be freely movable in the guide groove, a first contact member that contacts the guide cylinder part and moves when the cover member is located at the open position, a second contact member that contacts the guide cylinder part and moves when the cover member is located at the closed position, and a single spring that urges the first contact member moving at the opened position toward the guide cylinder part and urges the second contact member moving at the closed position toward the guide cylinder part.
Abstract:
A refrigerator including a body, a door movably coupled to the body, a gasket installed at a rear surface of the door to establish a gasket seal between the door and the body when the door is in a closed position, a first mount provided at a first location of the door located adjacent to a left edge portion of the door, a second mount provided at a second location of the door located adjacent to a right edge portion of the door, and a door opening device to cause the gasket seal to break between the door and the body, the door opening device including a pivoting member mounted to the door, first and second operating portions and a first push unit mounted to a first mount to press against the body when being pressed by the first operating portion of the pivoting member.
