  • Patent number: 10679445
    Abstract: An automatic opening/closing door 10 has an opening/closing portion 11 located at a lower side and a storage portion 12 located at an upper side. The opening/closing portion 11 has vertically arranged guide rails 14, 14 having a U-shaped cross section for guiding both ends of a roll-type shutter 13 in the width direction. The shutter 13 is slidable in the vertical direction without being detached from the guide rails 14, 14. When the shutter motor 15 is rotated in a predetermined direction, the shutter 13 located between the guide rails 14, 14 is wound up and the opening/closing portion 11 is opened. When the shutter motor 15 is rotated in a reverse direction, the shutter 13 is fed between the guide rails 14, 14 and the opening/closing portion 11 is closed. A controller 24 performs a predetermined guiding according to the approaching of the small-sized flying object.

  • Patent number: 8994229
    Abstract: The wireless non-contact switch detects movement of human body in the beam-shaped detection are which extends from the upper area on the wall toward the floor surface, and controls opening and closing of the automatic door. Regardless of the height of the location of the movement, as long as it is in the detection area, the switch detects the movement of different height location in the detection area. Therefore, regardless of the difference of regulation between each states, it can be operated at any height of the movement.

  • Patent number: 7030364
    Abstract: Sensor(s) may be such that light-projecting component(s) and light-receiving component(s) are arranged therein. Furthermore, such sensor(s) may be provided with optical path varying means for varying projected light optical path(s) and/or received light optical path(s) so as to physically vary overlapping zone(s) in which the projected light optical path(s) and the received light optical path(s) at least partially overlap. The optical path varying means may carry out adjustment of optical sensitivity by increasing the extent(s) of the overlapping zone(s) when carrying out detection with respect to zone(s) distant from such sensor(s) and/or decreasing the extent(s) of the overlapping zone(s) when carrying out detection with respect to zone(s) proximate to such sensor(s).

  • Patent number: 6970085
    Abstract: Door sensor(s) may be attached to a door body or bodies of automatic swing doors. The door sensor(s) may be equipped with door position detectors including geomagnetic sensor(s), the sensor(s) being itself or themselves capable of detecting position(s) occupied by the door body or bodies during opening and/or closing thereof. During opening and/or closing of the door body or bodies, determination may be made as to whether detected object(s) are object(s) intended for detection; and in the event that object(s) are object(s) intended for detection, opening and/or closing of the door body or bodies may be stopped, slowed, and/or reversed in correspondence to detected position(s) occupied by the door body or bodies during opening and/or closing thereof.
