Patent number: 9015996Abstract: A tilt-up door for a building having an opening, a pair of substantially vertically juxtaposed members, cam surfaces extending laterally from the vertical members at the upper portion and a door sized to span the opening. The door can be pivotally coupled to carriages arranged for vertical movement along the vertical members and can have cam followers extending laterally from the upper portion of the door to contact the cam surfaces. An actuator or actuators can be connected to the carriages to move the carriages along the vertical members. When the actuator or actuators are operated to move the carriages vertically along the members the cam followers can move along the cam surfaces to tilt the door to a horizontal position as the door is moved vertically upward into an open raised position.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: HP Doors, LLCInventor: Roland W.

Patent number: 8539716Abstract: A tilt-up door for a building having an opening including a door frame with vertical track members, cam surfaces extending laterally from the vertical tracks at the upper portion of the tracks and a door sized to span the opening. The door can be pivotally coupled with rollers disposed within the vertical tracks and cam followers extending laterally from the upper portion of the door to contact the cam surfaces. When an upwardly directed motive force acts on the door the cam followers come into engagement with the cam surface to lift the door generally vertically and then rotate the door inwardly as the door is raised into an open raised position.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: HP Doors, LLCInventor: Roland W.

Patent number: 6948547Abstract: An overhead garage door having the appearance of a set of light-transmitting doors, such as French doors. The garage door includes arrays of light-transmitting panels on the door arranged to simulate light-transmitting doors, moldings, doorknobs, and hardware for connecting the garage door to a garage. The door may be formed from a plurality of sections arranged in a stack and pivotally connected to adjacent sections. The garage door may be formed from a kit having a plurality of door sections with light-transmitting panels mounted thereon and hinges for connecting the sections. The garage door may also be formed from a retrofit kit for modifying an existing garage door to have the appearance of a set of light-transmitting doors. The light-transmitting panels permit visible light to enter a garage and may be translucent. The panels may be made of polycarbonate acrylic.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2002Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: FrenchPorte, L.L.C.Inventor: Jennifer Armstrong Maher

Patent number: 4560123Abstract: A four bar linkage, between a hinge carriage segment and a translating door segment, of an outward opening overhead rotation plug type aircraft door, defines the relative movement between the two segments. A door handle actuates linkages that extend between the two segments to power the relative movement. When the handle is in either the down and the door locked position, or in the up and unlocked ready for outward rotation position, the linkage is overcenter so that the handle remains in position. A safety link extends between the two segments to provide fail safe locking at either handle position.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1982Date of Patent: December 24, 1985Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Francis Sealey, Richard H.

Patent number: 4197805Abstract: A fish unloading system for removing fish from the main fish hold of a fishing boat. The lower portion of the main fish hold is filled with water and sufficient salt added to cause the fish to float near the surface of the water. A power-operated self-feeding fish-impelling device having an enclosure arranged in a loop with a discharge aperture formed in its upper portion is lowered into the hold. A plurality of blades or baskets are power driven about the interior of the enclosure. A pump is arranged with its suction in communication with the fish-impelling device to continuously draw water and fish towards the blades or baskets of the impeller so as to continuously propel fish upwardly from the hold. The system is utilized to unload a plurality of auxiliary fish holds connected to the main fish hold by access hatches. Fish in the auxiliary holds are floated through the access hatches by a recirculating flow of water from the main fish hold through the auxiliary holds and back into the main hold.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1978Date of Patent: April 15, 1980Inventor: Mario J.
