Abstract: An automatic door control system which uses microcontrollers to control four drive transistors and a drive motor connected in an H-bridge circuit. The microcontrollers use pulse width modulation to control the speed of the drive motor.
Abstract: An automatic door operator for swing doors which uses a worm gear transmission to connect the motor to a belt and pulley which in turn is connected to a spur gear and drive gear. The door arm of the swing door is connected to a double-ended shaft which is part of the drive gear. A rack and pinion gear and spring are used to provide the closing force to the door arm. The motor is mounted over the spring and the belt and pulleys are located alongside the motor which results in a compact non-handed design.
Abstract: A swinging slide panel construction has panels which can slide relative to one another to open half of an opening, such as a doorway, and then swing together in a break-away mode for full access to the opening. One panel, which is pivotally fixed in the opening, has a support thereon which engages with a track on the other panel to support the same when the two panels are overlapped and swung open. A floating pivot assembly further engages the panels along the bottoms thereof, with the pivot assembly being entirely carried by the panels.
