Patent number: 10428567Abstract: A multi-panel overhead stacking door which allows for the addition of multiple panels across an opening width. A vertical extrusion acts a guide for the panel above and/or below it. The vertical extrusion serves as a moving guide which thereby allows for the relatively easy addition of multiple panels. At each end of the door is a series of formed parts that are attached to the ends of the end panels and movably maintained with door guides. The assembled door is driven by, for example, a driven shaft, positioned at the top of or above the door opening. The shaft comprises drums to windingly and unwindingly receive a lifting member. The lifting member runs from the drum to the bottom panel assembly behind each vertical extrusion.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: CORNELLCOOKSON, LLCInventors: Thomas Balay, Joseph Balay, Ian Klish

Patent number: 10174545Abstract: A fabric fire rated door is described. The door utilizes a fire resistant fabric curtain with an end lock attachment. A tubular steel shaft is driven by an internal tube motor. The shaft is supported to minimize deflection. Single door shafts can also be joined together with a coupler shaft to create infinitely wide doors. The coupler shaft is spring loaded to act as a take up reel for a coupling curtain which will overlap each adjacent single door shaft. All curtains are attached to the same bottom bar. A hood covers the shaft, curtain, and the supports that run across the width of the door. The curtain travels over these horizontal supports as it drops down through the hood opening. The horizontal supports keep the curtain in position for proper seal during a fire/smoke event.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: CornellCookson, LLCInventors: James Janick, Brian Feist, David Dawdy, Ian Klish

Patent number: 9303449Abstract: The disclosed invention prevents damage to a hood and its contents. In a preferred embodiment, a first and second support member are mounted on either side of an access opening. A cross member is slidably retained in a protective, starting position within the support members. The cross member is preferably positioned above the access opening in front of a coiling door hood such that a striking force directed at the hood first encounters the cross member. When struck, the cross member slidably retracts against a force assembly to dissipate the striking force and upon withdrawal of the striking force the cross member returns without human intervention to the protective, starting position.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Balay, Joseph D. Kondash, Joseph Balay, Ian Klish

Patent number: 9133663Abstract: A vertically coiling door assembly that is used for emergency egress. Upon notice of a predefined alarm state, after a delay the door deploys by gravity, stopping upon contact with an obstruction. The door may be lifted at any time without power and after a set amount of lift powered movement is triggered moving the door to a preset height, pausing the door at that height, and then resuming gravity deployment. In the total absence of power the door may still be lifted, with resumption of gravity deployment upon removal of the lifting force.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Ian Klish, Joseph D.

Patent number: 8869450Abstract: An overhead door system featuring independent, unconnected panels is described. Each panel end is operatively carried within a pair of parallel tracks. The weight of the door decreases as the door is lifted and each panel completely disengages from its adjacent panel as it reaches the stacked position. This allows for a linear spring torque to door weight relationship requiring a very small motor compared to existing designs to provide the lifting torque necessary to operate the door.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Joseph L. Balay, Joseph D. Kondash, Ian Klish, Thomas Balay

Patent number: 8651164Abstract: The present invention presents a novel alternative to side-hinged swinging doors that offers access to a broad egress opening width needed to meet higher occupancy egress requirements while simultaneously qualifying as a fire/smoke barrier. In a preferred embodiment, a single overhead coiling fire door shaft assembly is counter-balanced to allow a fire door curtain to automatically close at a governed controlled descent upon reaching an established critical low battery condition. An operator is provided that will run the door under both normal condition and during a power failure or fire/smoke condition at an established average door speed, and also provide established levels of low battery warning signals/actions while also providing the ability to open as required for emergency egress until the temperature at the opening is not conducive for human life.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Ian Klish, Brian Reklaitis
