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.

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 wind-power plant with a rotor. The rotor's hub is accommodated in a roller bearing. The roller bearing is mounted on a support and connected to a planetary gear. The planetary gear comprises two stages, specifically an input stage and an output stage. The planetary gear's output shaft is coupled by way of a clutch to a generator. The roller bearing (3) has an inner ring (7) that is attached to and can be detached from both the hub (1) and the rotating part of the planetary gear. The generator (11) has a housing that is combined with and can be removed from the planetary gear to constitute a drive-train module. The module rests on the rotor support (4) and can be dynamically separated from the overall plant.

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.
