  • Patent number: 10961767
    Abstract: A system for fixing and/or emergency opening of a leaf of a door, a window or other closure comprises a drive having at least one mechanical energy storage device, at least one electric motor having a motor shaft operatively connected to the leaf, and control electronics for controlling the electric motor. The electric motor can be actuated by the control electronics both for damping of the leaf movements and for fixing of the leaf against a force of the mechanical storage device and/or for electric motor-driven emergency opening of the leaf.

  • Publication number: 20180223585
    Abstract: A system for the fixing and/or emergency opening of a leaf of a door, a window or the like comprises a drive having at least one mechanical energy storage device, which is charged by an opening movement of the leaf and is discharged by a closing movement of the leaf, at least one electric motor, the motor shaft of which is operatively connected to the leaf, and open-loop and/or closed-loop control electronics for actuating the electric motor. The electric motor can be actuated by means of the open-loop and/or closed-loop control electronics both for generator-like damping of the leaf movements and for fixing of the leaf against the force of the mechanical storage device and/or for electric motor-driven emergency opening of the leaf, in that the electric motor additionally can be supplied with external electrical energy from an external device, in particular such as a smoke detector control unit, a smoke and heat extraction control unit or the like, for the fixing and/or emergency opening of the leaf.
