  • Patent number: 9533825
    Abstract: A fire-stopping and fire-smothering storage container housing an inner space for storing materials which is defined, relative to the outside space (2), by a plurality of sides (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f) and including at least one fire door assembly (4). The container provides an essentially fire-stopping, airtight structure of walls (5, 5?) forming, together with the door assembly (4) which is also airtight, each side of the container, a system for attaching and assembling the structure and the door assembly, air passages (9a, 9b) extending through the structure, and air-sealing gaskets (8) making it possible to make the air passages airtight, such as to make the container airtight enough to create an air-depriving effect in the inner storage space that rapidly smothers any fire that starts inside of same.

  • Patent number: 9376855
    Abstract: A prehung fire door unit with one or two swing door leaf or leaves intended to be mounted in an opening made in a stonework construction, rising up substantially vertically in a building. The prehung door unit includes a fixed frame and at least one door leaf, the fixed frame being able to be fitted, at least in part, into a recess made in the opening. The prehung door unit made of an assembly of profiled elements fitted end to end and each made from an elongate flat element made of rigid material having temperature and fire resistance properties and that can be applied, either directly or indirectly, against at least one of the closed end faces of the recess so as to create, in the closed end of the recess, an additional finishing and/or supporting thickness for each door leaf.

  • Patent number: 9359810
    Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a watertight fire door for closing an opening in a building or edifice comprising, on the one hand, a fixed frame and at least one opening leaf and, on the other hand, sealing means that provide sealing between the fixed frame and the opening leaf when the door is closed. The or each opening leaf comprises, on the one hand, a framework surrounding an empty space capable of accepting or forming a thermal insulator and being sandwiched between two layers and of thermal insulation each essentially produced from a material having low thermal conductivity or diffusivity and, on the other hand, if appropriate, at least one thermal break.

  • Patent number: 8919044
    Abstract: The subject of the present disclosure is a sill and opening leaf assembly for a door that is fluid-tight to a liquid or gaseous fluid and intended to seal an opening separating two spaces in a building, wherein one of the edge faces or lower edge face of the opening leaf is situated, when mounted, facing a floor surface, and a sill able to provide fluid-tightness, of the bottom part of the door concerned between the lower edge face and the floor surface. The sill includes at least one flat and elongate gasket element, of the tongue type, fixed via one of its longitudinal sides to the lower edge face and a sealing and travel groove made in the floor surface across the opening concerned and intended to house the gasket element able to collaborate in travel with one of the longitudinal edges of the groove.

  • Patent number: 8733025
    Abstract: The subject of the present disclosure is a prehung door unit structure intended to close an opening, more particularly of rectangular shape, made in a stonework construction such as a wall, rising substantially vertically and separating or demarcating two spaces within a building and, more particularly, within a high-security building, including a prehung door unit made up of at least one door leaf mounted so that it can pivot and of a fixed frame intended to be fitted into said opening. Such a structure further comprises a fixed-frame pre-frame that can be mounted in the recess of the opening and constitutes a support for attaching the prehung door unit so that the prehung door unit can be fixed removably into the opening using rigid and removable connecting means.
