  • Patent number: 6662502
    Abstract: A movable partition system with a plurality of wall elements that are suspended from a guide rail and can be laterally moved to form a wall to close a space in a building. One of the wall elements is realized in the form of a door that can be operatively connected to a door closer that is mounted in a stationary manner to the guide rail. When the wall elements are moved to a closed position, the door is engaged with the door closer so as to pivot the door. When the wall elements are moved out of the closed position, the door is disengaged from the door closer. In addition, the door is prevented from pivoting by a rocker arm during movement of the wall elements, which rocker arm is rotated out of the way of the door when the wall elements are in the closed position to permit pivoting of the door.

  • Publication number: 20020066228
    Abstract: A movable partition with a plurality of wall elements guided by means of rollers so that they can move laterally in a support profile, at least one of which wall elements is realized in the form of a door element that can be actuated by means of a door closer whereby between the door closer and the wall element that serves as the door element there is an automatically coupling and uncoupling slide rail linkage, whereby the door element is automatically held in its displacement position when the movable partition is moved.

  • Publication number: 20010023562
    Abstract: A building glass facade of a building comprising a plurality of glass elements covering at least a portion of a building, wherein at least one of the glass elements comprises a safety glass panel. The glass elements have a brace to hold the safety glass panels that comprise at least two glass plates whereby there is an invisible protection against falling out, which is achieved by a separating or connecting film that is positively and non-positively connected with the braces by a film that is in the form of a separating or connecting film. The brace also has a type of fastening such that there is a permanently elastic medium for stress-free installation.

  • Patent number: 6286277
    Abstract: A sliding panel system whose sliding panel elements are aligned in a row next to each other when the sliding panel is closed and are positioned orthogonally in relation to the sliding panel when it is in its parked position. The individual sliding panel elements are guided on a first rail arrangement, a curved or bent rail section being adjacent to said slide rail in the transitional area leading to the parked position. The invention is characterized in that the slide rail has a curved or bent rail section in the transitional area leading to the parked position itself. When a point is switched immediately, said rail section opens up onto a parking rail running orthogonally or at an angle to the slide rail. The free end of the parking rail is configured so that it extends into the area of the sliding panel.

  • Patent number: 6158177
    Abstract: A clamping mounting for glass plates uses an attachment bolt which passes through a bore in the glass plate and comprises a head and a barrel. The head and the barrel are realized as separate components whose axes can be displaced relative to one another and which can be axially fixed relative to one another. An adjusting nut has a slot-like groove in which a retaining flange of the attachment bolt is seated, the floor of which groove forms a support flange for the retaining flange and has a slot which guides, and through which passes, the barrel of the attachment bolt.
