Patent number: 4944169Abstract: A closure lock for a folding door having top and bottom locking bars in the tubular post at the leading end of the door. The locking bars are normally biased to an unlocked position within the door. The bars can be manually moved to project from the ends of the post in a locked position. A single locking finger in the post automatically holds the locking bars in their locked position. A cylinder lock on each side of the post can be operated to move the locking finger to a position allowing the locking bars to withdraw to an unlocked position.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1989Date of Patent: July 31, 1990Assignee: Martinray Industries Ltd.Inventors: H.

Patent number: 4628982Abstract: An insulated closure panel for a rolling closure. The panel has a metallic section with an outer wall and side walls, and a thermoplastic section with an inner wall. Both panel sections have male and female hinge sections on their sides. The thermoplastic panel section snaps into the metallic panel section to form a tubular panel with the male hinge sections cooperating to form a male hinge element on one side of the panel and with the female hinge sections cooperating to form a female hinge element on the other side of the panel. The panel can be filled with insulating material.A rolling closure is formed from a plurality of the above panels, the male hinge element of each panel pivotally connected to the female hinge element of an adjacent panel.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1984Date of Patent: December 16, 1986Assignee: Martinray Industries Ltd.Inventor: H.

Patent number: 4586552Abstract: Rolling closure guide means. The guide means comprise two vertical guide members for use in guiding the edges of a rolling closure during opening or closing operations. Two guide strips are mounted on each guide member for guiding the edge of the closure between them. In one embodiment, the guide strips are manufactured in different thicknesses so that strips of the appropriate thickness, depending on the thickness of the closure, can be mounted on the guide members to guide the closure. In another embodiment, guide strips of only one thickness are used, along with one or more spacers if needed, to guide closures of different thickness in the guide members.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1984Date of Patent: May 6, 1986Assignee: Martinray Industries Ltd.Inventor: H. M. Robert Labelle

Patent number: 4475268Abstract: This invention is directed toward improvements in closure hinges of the type employing curved hinge sections which rotatably interconnect. A rigid link is employed at the ends of the hinge to help retain the hinge sections interconnected. Existing hinge elements are used to connect the links to the hinge. Fasteners are employed to prevent the hinge sections from moving longitudinally with respect to each other. Spacer elements are provided to prevent the fasteners from binding on the hinge sections.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1981Date of Patent: October 9, 1984Assignee: Martinray Industries Ltd.Inventor: Henri M. R. Labelle
