Abstract: A door swinging device for automatically swinging a door hinged to a door supporting frame so as to be angularly movable about a vertical axis. The door swinging device includes: (a) a mechanism for rotating; (b) an arm member adapted to be attached at one end thereof to the rotating mechanism so as to be rotated in a plane; (c) a slider rotatably connected to the other end of the arm member; and (d) a guiding mechanism, adapted to be attached to one of the door and the door supporting frame, for guiding slidably the slider in a direction parallel with the plane.

Abstract: An automatic door operator for a swing door supported by a door supporting frame to swing about a vertical axis. The automatic door operator includes a mechanism for opening and closing the swing door, a drive for driving the door opening and closing mechanism to open the swing door, the drive including a prime mover for driving the door opening and closing mechanism, a door closer including a resilient device for storing part of mechanical energy provided by the drive in opening the swing door and for exerting driving force on the door opening and closing means by using the stored mechanical energy to close the door, a unit for electrically controlling the drive to swing the swing door, and a sensor for sensing a body accessing the door and thereby providing an electric signal to open the door to the controlling unit.
