  • Slidable door assemblies with automatic pivot latching
    Patent number: 7451802
    Abstract: Disclosed are door assemblies particularly well suited for opening and closing wide entries such as emergency room entries. The assemblies have multiple doors that can be overlapped at a side of the entry. If further access room is needed the doors can then be pivoted so that essentially the entire entry is open. There is an automatic latching system that activates as the doors are being pivoted to prevent some sliding motion during the pivoting.

  • Floating pivot sliding and swinging panel construction for doors and the like
    Patent number: 5832980
    Abstract: A swinging slide panel construction has panels which can slide relative to one another to open half of an opening, such as a doorway, and then swing together in a break-away mode for full access to the opening. One panel, which is pivotally fixed in the opening, has a support thereon which engages with a track on the other panel to support the same when the two panels are overlapped and swung open. A floating pivot assembly further engages the panels along the bottoms thereof, with the pivot assembly being entirely carried by the panels.
