  • Patent number: 7322395
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tambour door comprising a door leaf that can be rolled up. The door comprises a vertical roller frame for receiving the door leaf, a sliding bar, to which the rollable door leaf is fixed, and an upper horizontal guide rail, in which the sliding bar is displaceably mounted. The invention facilitates a particularly simple, space-saving, modular construction. The rear face or external face of the roller frame is fixed to a wall and the guide rail is configured as a floating guide rail, which is fixed on one side at least indirectly to the roller frame and on the other side in a fixing element that is fastened at least indirectly to a wall. The door can be used as a lavatory door, or in situations requiring privacy protection for a door opening that economizes on space as much as possible.

  • Patent number: 5711111
    Abstract: A revolving door lock is positioned on an inner space of the building and is sealed to the outside so that no heat energy is lost for nothing and hardly no draught appears. There is no need for three or four wings at the individual revolving doors so that with each revolving door more space is available for the passage with trolleys, wheel chairs, luggage and the like. Furthermore, the revolving door lock can be passed quickly, in that at each revolving door a free passage is possible since only one of the doors should effect a seal at a time, while the other one can be fully open. As a result, several persons may pass through the revolving door lock in their own speed without interfering with each other.
