Patent number: 8578557Abstract: A patch fitting for a glass door includes a mount for being mounted on a floor, a shaft connected with the mount, a clamping seat pivotally connected with the shaft, and a piston unit installed inside the clamping seat. When the glass door is sweeping to open or close, the clamping seat will turn along with the sweeping movement of the glass door about the shaft and the piston unit will be pushed by an eccentric cam of the shaft to press the hydraulic oil contained in the clamping seat so as to provide a damping resistance in response to the sweeping movement of the glass door. The patch fitting can be easily installed on the floor by a simple work.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Leado Door Controls Ltd.Inventor: King-Sung Yu

Patent number: 7155777Abstract: A closure mechanism for hinged devices having an upper member and a lower member. The closure mechanism includes a track disposed on the upper member and at least one support arm pivotally attached to the lower member. A biasing element is adapted to urge the support arm to engage the upper member and urge it to pivot to an open configuration. The arm includes a contact element that engages the track such that an upper end of the arm moves along the track as the upper member pivots to an open position. The arm includes a hook that engages a positive stop to prevent over-rotation of the arm. In other embodiments of the closure mechanism, the arm is pivotally attached to the upper member and moves against the lower member, and the biasing element extends between the arm and either the upper member or the lower member.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: William M. Connors, Donald N. Spitz, Gregory P. Washnock

Patent number: 4064589Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for closing swinging doors which is mounted in a door frame and has an elongated housing with a spindle rotatably mounted in one end thereof by which the door closer is secured to a door. A cylinder is interiorly formed in the other end of the housing and has a piston disposed therein. The piston rod extends from the cylinder and is secured at its extended end to a pair of flat carrier plates which are slidably mounted within the housing about the spindle and biased to maintain the door in a closed position. Camming surfaces are carried by the spindle which cooperate with a pair of cam followers carried by the carrier plates to hold the door in an open position. Valve means communicating with the cylinder are provided to permit fluid flow from one end of the cylinder to the other about the piston for controlling the rate of travel of the piston within the cylinder and thereby regulate the rate of movement of the door as it is being opened, closed and latched.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1976Date of Patent: December 27, 1977Assignee: Builders Brass WorksInventors: Thomas M.
