Abstract:
A powered garage door opener is provided for operating a garage door between an open and closed position. The powered garage door opener comprises a main housing mounted adjacent the garage door. An electric motor and gear train assembly is mounted within the main housing and coupled to the garage door to drive the garage door between the open and closed positions. A power supply is mounted within the main housing and electrically connected to the electric motor and gear train assembly. A control module is mounted within the main housing and electrically connected to the power supply and the electric motor and gear train assembly for controlling selective actuation of the electric motor and gear train assembly. The electric motor and gear train assembly includes a secondary housing, an electric motor sealed within the secondary housing, a worm gear coupled to and driven by the electric motor, a spur gear in meshed engagement with the worm gear, and a driven shaft mounted to the spur gear and coupled to garage door. The electric motor provides electrical power to drive the worm and spur gears, rotating the driven shaft, to provide power actuation of the garage door and the gear relationship between the worm gear and spur gear allows the spur gear to back drive the worm gear and provide manual actuation of the garage door.
Abstract:
A vehicle door opening device comprises a drive unit, an opening cable and a closing cable. The drive unit comprises a housing, a motor mounted to the housing and having armature, and a drum rotated by the motor. At a vertex of the housing, an exterior angle was approximately right angles. The axis of the armature is perpendicular to a side of the housing having the vertex at the end. The drive unit can be made smaller.
Abstract:
A detention facility cell door lock housing assembly includes a lock mechanism housing to be mounted on the exterior surface of a cell wall adjacent the cell door opening and lock pocket housing correspondingly mounted on the exterior surface of the cell door. The lock mechanism housing includes a stepped side wall having at least a portion with an exterior facing surface to act as a stop. The lock pocket housing includes an opposingly stepped side wall, such that when the door is close the respective side walls fit together and the stop is engaged to prevent further door travel.
Abstract:
A housing for protecting a garage door safety beam emitter or receiver from impact and from the elements. The housing has a transverse plane of symmetry such that the same style housing may be used over the emitter and over the receiver, the housings being minor images of each other when installed. The housing includes a flange by which the housing may be attached to a garage door track or to the framework around the garage door. The housing preferably is formed of plastic such that it can be trimmed to accommodate installation, for example, around a foundation and includes a side wall with an aperture through which LED diagnostic lights associated with the emitter or receiver may be viewed.
Abstract:
A suspension for at least one panel, which is movable along a travel path, has a guiding profile configured to longitudinally extend along the travel path and to have sidewall sections. The sidewall sections are configured to extend in a direction of the longitudinal extension of the guiding profile and parallel to a vertical extension of the movable panel. In addition, at an end facing away from the movable panel, the sidewall sections are connected to each other by means of a horizontal wall section. At an end facing the guiding profile, the at least one movable panel is received in a guided and supported manner in the guiding profile. A driver member of a linear drive system is operatively connected to the movable panel. In the guiding profile, in a space between the horizontal wall section and the driver member, a reception space is formed, into which a driving profile is fitted and stationarily mounted to the guiding profile, the linear drive system, at least partially, being accommodated in the driving profile and the driving profile being disposed in the guiding profile above a guide of the movable panel.
Abstract:
Motor unit (Mn), used in an actuating system for moving gates, in particular gates of the leaf type, and comprising a motor for moving the gate enclosed in a housing, a control unit (Cn) connected to the motor for managing operation of the motor unit and peripheral devices (Qn) and contained inside the housing, characterized in that it comprises only one twin-wire line (Wn) for the transmission of signals between the control unit (Cn) and the peripheral devices (Qn).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a gate or door drive housing with a basic carrier body for preference in the shape of a bowl or shell, to which various different drive components can be secured, and a cover hood which can be connected to the basic carrier body. According to the invention, a housing extension for accommodating additional and/or larger drive components can be connected in a releasable manner in an exact fit to the basic carrying body.
Abstract:
A sliding door includes a frame comprising an elongated header member having a topwall, a backwall, an intermediate wall and a bottom wall. The bottom wall and intermediate wall are engageable with sliding door panel support rollers and the bottom wall and intermediate wall are interconnected by a separate support member to distribute door panel loads between such walls. A movable cover is attached to the header by a hinge part including spaced apart flanges and projections co-operable with projections on the header to support the cover in open and closed positions. The door operator is supported in the header by a single angle-shaped frame member supporting a power supply, a controller and a door operator motor. An adjustable torsion bar assembly supports the door panel against sagging.
Abstract:
In order to produce a window-actuator drive having assembly and service friendliness, particularly by providing a design which enables the gearbox unit to be easily exchanged, the drive is designed as two functionally separate units. A gear housing, a worm gear, and a housing cover which is sealed off from them both makes up a first unit. A cable housing with a cable pulley makes up a second unit. The subassemblies of the first and second unit can be assembled by means of notched, snap-fit connections.
