Patent number: 10428570Abstract: The present invention concerns a motorized door for closing an area (3) at least partially defined by a frame, said Motorized door comprising: (A) a motorized driving mechanism (10) for moving a shutter between an open position (z=1) and a closed position (z=0) in a first direction (?) to close said area defined within said frame and in a second direction (?) to open said area; (B) a detection cell (5, 6) suitable for detecting an accidental event (e1), during the motion of the shutter. The motorized door further comprises a processing unit programmed to trigger a wind related safety function avoiding the yo-yo effect in case strong winds triggered the erroneous detection of an accidental event by the detection cell, said wind related safety function comprising the following steps: (C) a processing unit (CPU): (a) stop the movement of the shutter in the first direction (?), and reverse said movement into the second direction (?) and, after a brief reverse time, ?t, of the order of 0.8 to 3.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: ENTREMATIC BELGIUM NVInventors: Mauro Lorenzani, Juan Jorge Lloret Madrid, Frederic Bostyn

Patent number: 10385606Abstract: The present invention concerns an auto-close door for closing an area (3) at least partially defined by a frame, said auto-close door comprising: A) A motorized driving mechanism (10) suitable for moving a leading edge (1L) of a shutter (1) in a first direction (?) to close said area defined within said frame and in a second direction (?) to open said area; B) Wave detection cells (5) suitable for detecting the presence of an obstacle within the area defined by the frame; and/or C) In addition or alternatively, an impact detector (6) suitable for detecting an impacting event with a leading edge of the shutter, D) A processing unit (CPU) programmed to carry out the following operations: a) Upon opening the area a first time by moving the leading edge of the shutter in said second direction (?), maintain the area open for an opening time (t1), after which b) close the shutter, c) Record whether an obstacle and/or an impacting event is detected by the wave detector or the impact detector, upon closing the shutteType: GrantFiled: October 16, 2015Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: ENTREMATIC BELGIUM NVInventors: Frederic Bostyn, Charles Fauquette, Bruno Viseur

Patent number: 8341885Abstract: System for controlling a door enabling driving from an initial position of its travel in a first direction at a speed v1 as far as a final position, said control system comprising a safety function comprising means for keeping a door in operation despite its having suffered an impact against an obstacle situated on its travel and enabling it to continue its initial movement automatically as soon as said obstacle is removed, through a design reconciling a sufficiently high normal speed of movement v1 of the door with the intention to prevent damage both to the obstacle and to the door by reducing the speed to v3<v1 close to the stored position of the impact.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Dynaco EuropeInventor: Frédéric Bostyn

Patent number: 8109317Abstract: Device with a shutter and element for the reinsertion of a shutter into a guide slide. Device with a shutter for the closing-off of a bay (1), comprising a slide (7, 8); a deformable shutter (3) comprising a lateral flange (10, 11, 27) which is mounted slidingly in the slide; and a means for reinserting the flange into the slide, after it has been pulled out of the slide, this means comprising at least one pair of rollers (17) which are placed on either side of the shutter and which, while the shutter is moved opposite the bay in order to uncover the latter, roll on the flange which has come out of the slide and push it back into the latter.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2008Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Dynaco EuropeInventor: Frederic Bostyn
