  • Patent number: 7721386
    Abstract: Closer arm assembly includes a main arm having a first end fixed to the output shaft of a closer fixed to one of a door and a door jamb so that the main arm pivots when the output shaft rotates, and a connecting arm having a first end pivotably connected to the main arm and a second end connected to the other of the door and the door jamb. The connecting arm contacts a stop to limit relative pivoting of the arms, the stop including a cushion with a contact surface which suppresses noise as the connecting arm contacts the cushion. The stop can be in the form of a spring loaded bumper fixed to a soffit plate, or a pin fixed to the second end of the main arm. A hold open device can be fixed to the connecting arm for engaging a feature on either the soffit plate or the main arm, the hold open device having a spring loaded detent which is released by manually turning a knob.

  • Publication number: 20100089190
    Abstract: A swing leaf operator having a closer portion is described. The closer portion has an output shaft, on which a cam disc is torsion-resistantly disposed, as well as a pressure roller. By way of an operational connection, a closer spring presses the pressure roller against a running surface of the cam disc. The pressure roller, with regard to an axial center of the output shaft, is disposed such that, during an opening or closing of a swing leaf coupled to the output shaft, the pressure roller is moved along a path. Due to the fact that the path bypasses the axial center of the output shaft and on account of the configuration of the running surface of the cam disc, in different modes of operation of the swing leaf operator at a respective opening angle of the swing leaf, a very similar or identical torque is respectively applied to the output shaft. Furthermore, the swing leaf operator has a drive motor, which is in operational connection with the output shaft.

  • Publication number: 20100024303
    Abstract: The invention relates to a regulating valve, which is attachable, in particular in a bore of a hydraulic door closer, executed with a female thread. The regulating valve has a body, adjoined by a regulating area, and a thread provided with an anti-rotation means. The thread with the anti-rotation element can be screwed into the female thread of the bore of the hydraulic door closer. In order to provide a regulating valve with a simple design while excluding unwanted adjustment of the regulating valve during the operation, the anti-rotation means includes a raised area, which can cooperate with the bore or the female thread of the door closer.

  • Patent number: 7650669
    Abstract: A door closer includes a housing; an output shaft supported by the housing and rotatable in opposite door opening and closing directions; a cam disc disposed in the housing and mounted on the output shaft; a damping piston disposed in the housing; an opening piston disposed in the housing; first and second force transmission rollers; and two fixing bolts extending in the axial direction of the housing and transversely to the axis of the output shaft. The fixing bolts being disposed on two opposite sides of the output shaft, respectively. Each of the can disc and the first and second force transmission rollers has a circumferential recess or comprises two pieces, the fixing bolts being disposed in the recesses or between the respective two pieces so that each of the damping piston and the opening piston is prevented from rotating with respect to the cam disc.

  • Patent number: 7608949
    Abstract: A magnetic drive system for driving a door leaf in a driving direction is disclosed. The drive system includes a row of magnets disposed in the driving direction and having a longitudinal direction, the magnets being arranged so that magnetizations of the magnets reverse in accordance with a predetermined pattern; and a coil arrangement comprising a plurality of coil cores and a plurality of coils, the coils being wound around respective coil cores and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the row of magnets. When energized, the coils interact with the magnets to generate a thrust force for driving the door leaf in the driving direction. The magnets in the row of magnets are disposed relative to the coil cores so that a total magnetization of the magnets has no abrupt polarity reversal in the driving direction with respect to the coil cores.

  • Publication number: 20090045760
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a linear drive for sliding doors or the like, particularly linear drives based on linear motors. A linear drive, according to the invention, for at least one part which is movable along a movement path, particularly a sliding door leaf, has at least one linear motor for the at least one part. A stator part of the linear motor is received in a receiving profile so as to be prevented from falling out. The receiving profile is constructed to be arranged at a fastening device, which is arranged in turn on the installation side of a wall portion or top portion. Accordingly, the stator part and receiving profile form a module or unit, which can be mounted in its entirety. Therefore, a person performing the mounting can use the receiving profile for mounting, which helps to reduce the risk of damaging the stator part, for example.
