Patent number: 10428567Abstract: A multi-panel overhead stacking door which allows for the addition of multiple panels across an opening width. A vertical extrusion acts a guide for the panel above and/or below it. The vertical extrusion serves as a moving guide which thereby allows for the relatively easy addition of multiple panels. At each end of the door is a series of formed parts that are attached to the ends of the end panels and movably maintained with door guides. The assembled door is driven by, for example, a driven shaft, positioned at the top of or above the door opening. The shaft comprises drums to windingly and unwindingly receive a lifting member. The lifting member runs from the drum to the bottom panel assembly behind each vertical extrusion.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: CORNELLCOOKSON, LLCInventors: Thomas Balay, Joseph Balay, Ian Klish

Patent number: 9624708Abstract: A closure is described. In a preferred embodiment a novel door roller is presented that is more resistant to a dislodgement force. The door roller comprises a bearing that rolls on a piece of round stock that is part of a door guide. When a dislodgement force is imposed on the door, the door bows and the bearing contacts the stock preventing dislodgement of the door roller from its track and allow the door to remain operational.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Balay, Joseph Balay

Publication number: 20160305182Abstract: A partition door including, a plurality of door slats, wherein each of the door slats are suspended from a track and extend vertically toward a floor. Each of the door slats are moveable in a generally horizontal direction. The partition door also includes a plurality of hinges, each hinge coupling adjacent door slats. The partition door further including a sound attenuating coating fixed to a first surface of at least one of the plurality of door slats.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Milton Prosperi, Joseph Kondash, Joseph Balay

Patent number: 9303449Abstract: The disclosed invention prevents damage to a hood and its contents. In a preferred embodiment, a first and second support member are mounted on either side of an access opening. A cross member is slidably retained in a protective, starting position within the support members. The cross member is preferably positioned above the access opening in front of a coiling door hood such that a striking force directed at the hood first encounters the cross member. When struck, the cross member slidably retracts against a force assembly to dissipate the striking force and upon withdrawal of the striking force the cross member returns without human intervention to the protective, starting position.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Balay, Joseph D.

Patent number: 8496038Abstract: The present invention provides at least one anti-sway trolley assembly used in conjunction with either a single sided partition set or sandwiched between first and second partition side in a double sided partition set. The anti-sway trolley assembly comprises a floating rod affixed at a first end to a trolley. Affixed at a rod second end is a floor contact member which provides frictional resistance to lateral displacement of the door. Each anti-sway trolley assembly rides in a chain guide and is affixed to a partition hinge rod. In this manner, a floor channel is not required to achieve resistance to lateral displacement forces.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: CIW Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Kondash, Joseph Balay
