Abstract: A rolling shutter comprises a winding shaft having a rolling shutter curtain formed from metallic premade rolling shutter curtain bars. The rolling shutter curtain is configured to be wound up on the winding shaft into a winding bale, and comprises a set of damping bodies. The damping bodies are formed from a synthetic foam material, an elastomer material, and/or a textile material. The damping bodies can be detachably mounted to the rolling shutter curtain bars.

Abstract: A method for producing a coated structural element for exterior applications in the door and gate industry, such as for a sectional gate panel, an overhead door, a door, or a structural element for a facade with an integrated gate and/or integrated door, in which a relative movement between a starting material designed for producing the structural element and a coating device is generated along a feed direction, and to a coating mass that is applied to the starting material by the coating device along a coating direction that runs transverse to the feed direction and preferably approximately perpendicular to the surface to be coated.

Abstract: A structural element for the fabrication of a panel of a sectional door, which is movable between a closed and an open position along a predetermined pathway. The sectional door possesses a shell, generally of metal, having two mutually parallel sides, bent back on themselves, thus essentially creating structural elements aligned somewhat perpendicularly to the predetermined pathway. When in the closed position, the shell is characterized by forming an outer door surface which is external to the space to be closed, and forming an internal door surface opposed thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door drive device (11) for driving a door leaf (18) of a door (10), comprising a traction mechanism (13) designed in particular as a rope drive, the mechanism comprising a traction means monitoring device (28) for monitoring a breakdown of a traction means (Z1, Z2). In order to provide a simple design, which can be installed with particular ease, yet ensures safe operation, the traction means monitoring device (28) consists of mechanical blocking devices (150, 160) acting in opposing door movement directions and blocking when the traction means tension of an associated traction means (Z1, Z2) decreases and a load monitoring device (78) for a motor drive assembly (49) for load interruption when one of the blocking devices (150, 160) blocks.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for producing structural elements exposed to the effects of weather, such as metallic structural elements, in particular sectional door panels, roll-up door slats or the like, in which method the structural elements which may have already been provided with a base coating, are imprinted.

Abstract: A gate includes a gate leaf which is movable between a closed and an open position, and a plurality of gate leaf elements, which are tiltable. The gate leaf includes a door leaf which is swingable around a pivot axis extending perpendicular to the tilt axes. When closed, the door leaf is mounted in an opening in the gate leaf and the door leaf extends essentially parallel to the plane of the gate leaf. A stabilizing arrangement opposes the deformation of the gate leaf and a threshold element which rests on the floor of the opening when the gate leaf is in the closed position. The height of the threshold element is essentially less than 20 mm, preferably less than 10 mm.

Abstract: A roller shutter curtain sectional slat is provided with thermal insulation between an inside and an outside. For this purpose, the sectional slat preferably has two panel elements only connected with each other by an intermediate element of poorer thermal conductance than the material of the panel elements. Hinge profile areas are only present on one of the two panel elements. Moreover, a roller shutter curtain is made of such sectional slats and a roller shutter equipped therewith.

Abstract: A light barrier housing is provided in a light barrier for monitoring an automatically driven architectural closure. In order to reduce mounting work, a cable connection having at least one clamped connection is provided.

Abstract: Proposed is a structural component for the assembly of a sectional door, which is to be movable along predetermined guide rails between a closed and an open position. Included are an outer surface which lies remote from an inner space, which space is to be isolated upon closing the door, and an inner surface oppositely located from the outer surface. The component possesses lateral edges running approximately parallel to the guide rails. Overlapping an exposed lateral edge is protective sheathing forming a thereto affixed cap, running at least somewhat parallel to the lateral edges of the panels. As an optional choice, a protective edge sheathing may also be placed on the outside to aid in the incorporation of the invented structural component as described above.
