  • Patent number: 11920854
    Abstract: A roll-up door assembly includes a first curtain, a second curtain, and a side frame. The first curtain and the second curtain can transition between a lowered position and a raised position. The first curtain and the second curtain at least partially define an internal volume in the lowered position. The side frame includes an elongated body defining a hollow interior, a pair of curtain tracks, a heating assembly, and an inlet assembly. The pair of curtain tracks can guide the first curtain and the second curtain between the lowered position and the raised position. The heating assembly can circulate heated air into the internal volume. The inlet assembly can provide fluid commination between the heating assembly and a lower temperature conditioned space such that the heating assembly can circulate air from the lower temperature conditioned space into the internal volume.

  • Publication number: 20070252701
    Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) portal easily installs and integrates any RFID hardware/software systems. The RFID portal may match the size of a traditional dock or be custom sized. The portal takes advantage of a variety of unique features including an antenna bracket that provides for three-dimensional vertical and horizontal movements and a hardware independent reader bracket. The antenna movement capabilities allow for excellent RFID signal coverage. A General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) bridge enables rapid integration and functionality to other RFID inputs such as Motion Detectors/Photo Eyes, Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), Wireless Networking, floor loops, mass detectors, and output signals, such as to light stacks and RFID readers.

  • Publication number: 20060199497
    Abstract: A conditioned vestibule for a cold storage doorway is provided having a trackless, bi-folding door operated by an actuator that rotates a first arm portion. The first arm portion rotates about a first end. A second arm portion is connected pivotally to a second end of the first arm portion at a hinge. The second arm portion rotates relative to the first arm portion at the hinge, in response to movement of the actuator. A door body is connected to at least one of the first and second arm portions. In one embodiment, the vestibule further includes an air curtain, including a fan that circulates air across a doorway opening across into which the first and second arm portions extend, a discharge means that discharges the air across the opening, and a return means that communicates discharged air to the fan.

  • Publication number: 20060090401
    Abstract: A door system for a cold storage locker that includes resilient door panels that flex and have increased resistance to damage when hit by a forklift. A high degree of insulation is achieved by the choice and thickness of the resilient foams therein. Also, the resilient door panels are magnetically attracted to a gasket seal on a doorframe to provide an affirmative seal. Active magnetic control may enhance the attraction or repulsion of the door panel. Frost control is realized by warming air from the cold storage locker and passing it through air channels in the door panel proximate to the gasket seal and down an astragal interface between door panels. Door panels of laminate, bagged poured foam formation, and self-skinning foam formation further reduce the cost of manufacture and shipping.

  • Publication number: 20050005524
    Abstract: A top-supported sliding door system or a vertically sliding door system achieves an enhanced air seal with a lateral keeper mechanism on either or both of the trailing and leading edges. On an outward lateral edge of a door panel, a keeper projects inwardly toward the door frame to engage a door frame camming surface such as a pin. The bracket may advantageously disengage under a force indicative of impact in order to minimize damage resulting therefrom. Application of the lateral keeper mechanism may further be used on vertically sliding doors and on multi-panel horizontal sliding doors. In addition, a rail may extend from the angled pin to engage the keeper throughout the full travel of the door panel.
