Patent number: 10896565Abstract: A method includes providing a first control station and a second control station. The control stations are configured to control movement of a structure. The first control station includes a first device and the second station includes a second device. Movement of the structure is allowed if the second device detects a first object and the second device detects a second object. Movement of the structure is prevented if the first device fails to detect the first object, or the second device fails to detect the second object.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Gym Door Repairs Inc.Inventors: Stephen F.

Publication number: 20110291839Abstract: An electrically operated folding operable wall is controlled by an electrical operation circuit of the type having at least one control station, an extend control switch, a stack control switch, control relays and a motor. The electrically operated folding operable wall includes a safety system which includes (a) at least one touch sensor selectively responsive to an electrical characteristic of a human body and actuated by operative contact of the human body therewith; and, (b) means for preventing the electrical operation circuit of the folding operable wall from functioning if the touch sensor is not actuated. The preventing means includes at least one control unit electrically connected between each control station of the electrical operation circuit and each touch sensor, which will prevent the control station from functioning if the touch sensor is not actuated by contact with a human body.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2011Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventor: Stephen F. COLE

Publication number: 20110067822Abstract: A system and method for enhancing the safety of an electrically operated folding partition. A control panel is used to control movement of a moveable portion of the folding partition. The control panel may include an authentication device in the form of a biometric reader. The control panel may also include an RF-ID reader effective to emit an electromagnetic wave. When a tag is in a vicinity of the wave, the reader can detect the presence of the tag and inhibit movement of the moveable portion. The tag may be placed on an object used by a disabled individual such as on a wheelchair.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: Gym Door Repairs, Inc.Inventors: Stephen F.
