Abstract: The present invention is directed to a door panel preferably for a sliding door assembly. The door panel includes an inner frame and a sheet stock substantially covering the inner frame. The inner frame includes a geometry that cooperates with a geometry of a door accessory for operable connection of the door accessory directly to the inner frame.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an industrial high-speed door assembly having a reduced door panel width and having guides for guiding the door which extend into a passageway but are resilient, tough, or resiliently collapsible, to either withstand impacts from vehicle collisions or moveable during opening of the door to avoid collisions while returning for guidance upon closing the door.

Abstract: A sliding door for selectively opening and closing an opening is disclosed. The door comprises a first guide track defining a first linear guide path and a second guide track defining a second linear guide path. The second guide track is spaced from the first guide track. the door further comprises a door panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, a leading edge and a trailing edge. The door panel is adapted to translate laterally relative to the opening between a closed position and an open position. A first portion of the door panel is attached to the first guide track and a second portion of the door panel is attached to the second guide track.

A first portion of the door panel is attached to the first guide track and a second portion of the door panel is attached to the second guide track. The door moves vertically as the door is translated from the open position to the closed position as rollers engage recesses positioned on the first and second guide tracks.

Abstract: A panel guide and impact separation system for a sliding door adapted to open and close an opening having an upper and lower extent is disclosed. The system comprises a guide, a guide follower and an elongate beam. The guide is adapted to be mounted to a mounting surface located between the upper and lower extent. The guide follower is disposed in operable engagement with the guide and is adapted to translate along at least a portion of the guide. The elongate beam has a first and second end. The first end of the elongate beam is connected the guide follower and the second end of the elongate beam is attachable to a door panel. The second end of the elongate beam is adapted to extend generally horizontally along at least a portion of a vertical plane of a door panel.

Abstract: The invention pertain to a roll-up gate with a gate panel which can be rolled up into a coil of several layers, the panel consisting of a plurality of solid gate battens, which extend across the width of the gate to create a rigid covering over the opening and which can move in vertical guideways. So that the gate can be opened and closed quickly and with little noise, it is provided that at least one batten has at least one support body with a pair of support elements, this pair consisting of an internal and an external support surface, the distance between which is designed so that, when the battens are rolled up, the internal support surface can rest on the external support surface of the preceding layer of the coil, while the remainder of the battens remains free.

Abstract: A roller door is provided with a flexible door leaf, wound on a winding roller which is mounted rotatably above the door opening. Fast with the winding roller is at least one drum on which there is wound, in contrary direction to the door leaf, a flexible traction member (belt, rope, chain) which is loaded with a counterweight for balancing the weight of the door leaf. In order also to tauten the door leaf, with a separation of the functions of weight compensation and tautening of the door leaf, there is integrally rotatably connected with the winding roller at least one second drum on which is wound, in contrary direction to the door leaf, a further flexible traction member (belt, rope, chain) guided around a guide roller, which is mounted stationarily at the base of the door opening, and connected with the door leaf, and a tensioning roller presses with a transverse force against the portion of the further traction member which runs between its drum and the guide roller.

Abstract: A suspension system for a heavy duty industrial door has a double guide track system which provides smoother operation and resistance to jamming due to the effects of wind or negative air pressure. Respective guide tracks can be disposed at 90.degree. angles, and a similarly designed support carriage having a pair of traveling support devices disposed at right angles engage each of the guide tracks for supporting associated sections of a flexible door. The suspension system according to the invention is particularly adapted for use with folding industrial doors which comprise a series of overlapping flexible plastic strips which depend from hinged rack sections.
