Abstract: A manual release structure and roll-up door assembly allows the edges of the roll-up door to be intentionally disengaged from the guideway when release of the door edge becomes necessary. This is accomplished by using modified roll-up door elements at the edges of the door. One modification is made to the rail within which the door edges reside when the door is in its down or “closed” position. Another modification is made to a face frame slide within which the rail resides. Still another modification is made to the edges of the roll-up door.

Abstract: The present latch apparatus includes a swinging piece having first and second independent latches or sliders sliding in first and second slots. The first and second sliders slide independently of each other. The first and second sliders engage an undersurface of an extension of a first object such as a gate. If either the first or second slider is engaged on the undersurface, the swinging piece is locked and is not swingable such that the first object such as the gate cannot itself swing away from a second object such as a barrier section. Only when each of the first and second sliders has been slid beyond the undersurface can the swinging piece swing to permit the first object such as the gate to be released and thus swingable itself relative to the second object such as the barrier section.

Abstract: An improved gate structure includes at least two spaced-apart frame bodies, gate panels, a storing portion defining a storage space, and at least one driving portion. At an entrance and exit of a building is disposed the storing portion adjacent to the frame bodies. The driving portion includes a driving assembly, at least two conveyor units installed in the storage space and in the frame bodies, and at least two clamping assemblies each disposed on one side of each conveyor unit. The clamping assemblies and the conveyor units are triggered by the driving assembly, thereby clamping the gate panels and conveying the gate panels to an accommodation space defined between the frame bodies or to the storage space. The use of the improved gate structure stacks and stores the gate panels quickly because of the clamping force and the conveying operation, thereby attaining a convenient use.

Abstract: A composite driving mechanism for a vehicle including: a drive device for providing a driving force; a lifting drive assembly to transmit the driving force to a lifting mechanism; a cinching drive assembly to transmit the driving force to a cinching mechanism; and a switch assembly to engage with the drive device and selectively switch between a lifting drive position, in which the switch assembly only transmits the driving force to the lifting drive assembly, and a cinching drive position, in which the switch assembly only transmits the driving force to the cinching drive assembly. The switch assembly is located between the lifting drive assembly and the cinching drive assembly and separates them from each other. The composite driving mechanism has little impact on occupied spaces inside a door mechanism, vehicle assembly cost, and waterproof requirements of the mechanism, and does not significantly affect the sound performance of the vehicle.
