  • Patent number: 8875344
    Abstract: A door closer, in particular a hinge door closer, including a locking function or free-swing function, having a door closer housing, an output shaft to be connected to a door, a piston assembly connected to the output shaft and guided in the door closer housing, a closer spring, a piston rod adapted to connect the piston assembly to the closer spring, a hydraulic lock compartment adapted to lock the closer spring, and in particular a free-swing assembly which is adapted to enable a translational motion of the piston assembly decoupled from the closer spring when the closer spring is locked.

  • Publication number: 20140290144
    Abstract: A door operator for opening and/or for closing a door includes a housing, an output shaft with a cam disc, and a first piston guided in the housing, which first piston bears against the cam disc. The output shaft includes a first axle body supported in the housing. The first axle body is connected to the cam disc in a torque-proof manner by a first plug-in connection.

  • Publication number: 20120233810
    Abstract: A door closer, in particular a hinge door closer, including a locking function or free-swing function, having a door closer housing, an output shaft to be connected to a door, a piston assembly connected to the output shaft and guided in the door closer housing, a closer spring, a piston rod adapted to connect the piston assembly to the closer spring, a hydraulic lock compartment adapted to lock the closer spring, and solenoid control valve, in particular a 3/2-solenoid control valve. A closure damping compartment is formed between the door closer housing and the piston assembly on a side of the piston assembly facing away from the piston rod, and wherein the solenoid control valve controls at least the pressures in the closure damping compartment and in the lock compartment.

  • Publication number: 20050092959
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a slide valve with a valve body (1) and a throttle body (2) which is mounted at the valve body (1). In order to provide a slide valve which ensures good tightness while also reducing expenditure on manufacturing and which can therefore be produced more economically, the throttle body (2) according to the invention is provided with a slit (3) extending in axial direction thereof.

  • Patent number: 6151753
    Abstract: A door closer with a door piston, which door piston is acted on by a driven shaft during the opening of a door. The door piston has an extension attached to it. The door closer also can have a pressure piston and an energy storage mechanism which acts on the pressure piston. The pistons can be axially guided and can interact with hydraulically connected pressure chambers to connect and disconnect the pistons during the opening and closing of the door closer.

  • Patent number: 5862630
    Abstract: A hydraulic servo door closer in which the fixed coupling between the energy storage mechanism and the door piston has been neutralized. The fixed coupling is neutralized by the use of spring pistons which are pressurized by the closing spring, in addition to the door pistons which are conventionally present. The additional pressure chambers which are thereby formed, compared to a conventional door closer, are connected to one another on one hand by fixed channels, but on the other hand by controlled channels and/or throttles for the damping medium which is present in the door closer.
