Abstract: A device for opening and closing a pivotally mounted door leaf (2) or the like comprises an actuator, which is displaceably and/or rotatingly arranged in a housing (10) and connected to the door leaf and which, during displacement rotation, actuates said door leaf, and a drive motor (27) which is connected to the actuator for providing displacement/rotation thereof.

Abstract: A power transmitting arrangement for doors, preferably revolving or swinging doors with door leaves (30) moving in a circular path inside lateral portions (33), is useful for both driving and braking the door. Between a stationary element (K1) and a relatively displaceable element (K2) is arranged a power transmission including an engagement surface (Y) at the one element and at least one engagement device (18,23) at the other element wherein power such as motor power for the operation of the door and/or inertia derived from the door on the braking of the same is transmitted utilizing at least one obliquely against the surface of engagement (Y) arranged and such engagement device carrying swingably arranged arm so movable that the power engagement increases with increasing torque.
