| 20120180395 | DOOR OPENING/CLOSING SYSTEM AND CATCH THEREFOR - Provided is a door opening and closing system capable of returning to a return state where a catch and a retractable arm are engaged with each other even if the retractable arm is closed completely as a result of incorrect usage such as a prank. A catch has a catch base which is mounted on either one of the door and a frame and a catch shaft which is installed in the catch base slidable in an axial direction and engaged with a retractable arm. At a tip end of the catch shaft, a small-diameter part is provided as a step part. The step part of the catch shaft and the retractable arm are engaged with each other in a state where the retractable arm is further rotated in the closing direction after a main body part of the catch shaft and the retractable arm are engaged with each other. | 07-19-2012 |
| 20120198773 | POSITIVE DRIVE FOR SLIDING GATE OPERATION - A linear gate drive assembly with a drive rail connectable to a gate panel. A linear drive portion having a toothed drive surface is coupled to a first drive surface of the drive rail and has teeth thereon with a first rolling tooth profile. A drive wheel is attached to one drive motor and engages the first drive surface to impart an axial drive force on the drive rail. Another drive wheel is attached to another drive motor and engages the second drive surface. The second drive wheel has teeth that mate with the first teeth and that define another rolling tooth profile corresponding to the first rolling tooth profile. Rotation of the second drive wheel imparts axial and normal forces via a rolling teeth interface for moving the drive rail and the gate panel. | 08-09-2012 |
| 20130025209 | PIPELINE CLOSURE - The invention provides a closure suitable for use on pipelines and pressure vessels, and which can resist high pressure but which can be opened quickly when the pressure differential across the closure has been reduced to zero. The closure comprises a door ( | 01-31-2013 |
| 20130283698 | Device for the Operation of an Electrical Load Arranged in and/or on a Movable Transparent Planar Element - A device for the operation of an electrical load is arranged in and/or on a movable transparent panel element. A supply and/or signal line is arranged between at least one energy source and the electrical load. The supply and/or signal line is arranged on a lever assembly, and can be guided by the lever assembly. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20130312331 | Casement Window Operator with Folding Handle - An operator for a casement window is disclosed which includes a hub that frictionally receives a spindle. The hub is pivotally connected to a proximal end of a pivoting handle. The hub is disposed within a cavity that extends through the proximal end of the handle and terminates at a back wall. The cavity partially accommodates a biasing element, an actuator and the hub. The biasing element is disposed between the actuator and the back wall and biases the actuator towards the hub. The hub includes at least one open position recess and open position protrusion and the actuator includes a complementary protrusion and a recess wherein the protrusion is received in the at least one open position recess of the hub and the recess of the actuator receives the at least one open position protrusion of the hub when the handle is pivoted to the open position. | 11-28-2013 |
