  • Patent number: 11139965
    Abstract: The invention relates to a building or enclosure termination opening and/or closing apparatus (10) having communication signed or encrypted by means of a key, and to a method for operating such. To allow simple, convenient and secure use by exclusively authorised users, the apparatus comprises: a first and a second user terminal (14, 30), with secure forwarding of a time-limited key from the first to the second user terminal being possible. According to an alternative, individual keys are generated by a user identification (42) and a secret device key (40).

  • Publication number: 20120186158
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door drive device (11) for driving a door leaf (18) of a door (10), comprising a traction mechanism (13) designed in particular as a rope drive, the mechanism comprising a traction means monitoring device (28) for monitoring a breakdown of a traction means (Z1, Z2). In order to provide a simple design, which can be installed with particular ease, yet ensures safe operation, the traction means monitoring device (28) consists of mechanical blocking devices (150, 160) acting in opposing door movement directions and blocking when the traction means tension of an associated traction means (Z1, Z2) decreases and a load monitoring device (78) for a motor drive assembly (49) for load interruption when one of the blocking devices (150, 160) blocks.

  • Patent number: 7174673
    Abstract: A shaft operator assembly for moving a door assembly which includes a movable door leaf and a door shaft attached to the door leaf for common movement together. A shaft connecting unit includes a shaft connecting element and a connecting plate element and connects a driven member of the shaft operator assembly with minimal space requirements to the door shaft. The connecting plate element, which can be secured to or integrally configured with the driven member, is relatively thin to permit the jack shaft operator and connecting plate element to be shifted into a fitted position even where little space is available. The shaft connecting element is mountable non-rotatably on the door shaft and includes an axial opening extending through the shaft connecting element for receiving the door shaft.

  • Patent number: 7007427
    Abstract: A separating device for a door leaf that is moveable overhead has a coupling element movable between a coupling position, in which the coupling element couples an output element of the drive device to the structural component, and a freewheeling position, in which the output element of the drive device is decoupled from the structural component. A locking member is provided which is movable between at least one release position, in which the locking member allows a movement of the coupling element into the freewheeling position, and at least one locking position, in which the locking member counteracts a movement of the coupling element into the freewheeling position. The locking member can be coupled to the drive device.
