Abstract:
A window assembly including a first sash and a second sash, the first and second sashes each including a pane of glass disposed between a pair of horizontal rails and a pair of vertical stiles, a frame configured to retain the first and second sashes along a vertical plane of the frame, and a mechanism configured to simultaneously and correspondingly move a second sash in second direction upon movement of a first sash in a first direction opposite the second direction.
Abstract:
A power-off door closing device of fire proof rolling door in which the rolling door slides down to close by its own weight under abnormal power-off condition by brake-releasing action or by brake-applied action of a braking pin actuated by a energized solenoid, through successive movement of the first end of a sliding lever of a solenoid with a bent arm, a clamp member and a brake actuating rod. This device can be easily changed into non-failsafe door closing fire proof type with original configurations wherein the solenoid is reverse located so that the brake-released action caused by an energized solenoid or the brake-applied action under abnormal power-off condition applies. A reserved power supply temporarily energizes the solenoid to maintain a temporary brake-releasing under abnormal power-off condition, to enable the rolling door sliding down to close by its own weight.
Abstract:
A resettable fail-safe fire door release mechanism which allows normal powered operation of a fire door is disclosed. A solenoid having a first open state in the absence of an applied electric current and a second closed state in the presence of an applied electric current is incorporated into the motor-operator unit of an overhead door. Brake actuator utilizes the spring force of a normally disengaged brake to keep the brake actuator in a first position. The plunger of the solenoid acts through the brake actuator in opposition to the spring so that energizing the solenoid overcomes the force of the spring, moving the brake actuator, and engaging the brake; deenergizing the solenoid causes the spring to again disengage the brake. A normally closed switch having a mechanical actuator is wired in series with the solenoid. The melting of a fusible link releases a spring loaded plunger which depresses the actuator opening the switch. A cable having one end connected to the actuator of the switch and the other end external to the case of the motor-operator allows manual opening of the switch and hence closing of the door.
Abstract:
A door machine of a fireproof door comprises an input end to be actuated by an input axle; an output end loaded with weight of door panels, the loading force of which is transmitted back to a central axle through an output axle; a clutch mechanism normally connecting the central axle with the input axle together; a brake mechanism including a torsion spring which is integrated with the input axle of the input end and one end of which bears the loading force came from the central axle to shrink the inner diameter thereof so that the input axle is in an immobilized state; when an external force is applied to the input end, the other end of the torsion spring resisting against the weight of the door panels to expand the inner diameter thereof so that the input axle is rotated.

Abstract:
The gate has an exchangeable span that is fixed to the load bearing beam and is connected with pulley bearings and rope-slings to the system of adjustable counterweights. The drive system is fitted with an electric drive with a worm-wheel mounted to the load bearing beam that travels vertically along the worm. The beam, span and the drive travel on adjustable guiderails inside a reinforced concrete pit in the direction opposite to that of counterweights. The load bearing beam is fitted with rollers and retaining rollers mounted to the cover. Emergency (manual) operation of the gate is possible by turning a crank handle connected with the worm, having released the lock that prevents the worm from rotating on its axis.

Abstract:
A smoke and heat evacuator that can be applied at an opening of a generally vertical wall of a closed environment, includes a supporting frame bearing a shutter, which oscillates between a normally closed position and an open position via at least one lateral linkage having a first arm that, in the closed position, extends obliquely, with a top end articulated to the shutter via a slider subject to the downward-thrust action of a spring and with a bottom end articulated to the supporting frame via a second lengthenable arm.
Abstract:
A door operator of a fireproof door comprises a force applying end through which a driving force is transmitted by an input shaft; an output end for sustaining the weight of the door curtain which is transmitted to a central shaft through an output shaft; a clutch mechanism connecting the central shaft to the input shaft; a brake mechanism including a torsion spring disposed on the input shaft which bears the loading force transferred through the central shaft to vary the inner diameter of the torsion spring so as to restrain the input shaft from rotating; when an external force is applied to the input end, the inner diameter of the torsion spring is extended so that the input shaft is rotatable.
