Patent number: 8397432Abstract: A door assembly for protecting structural enclosures with an opening with a frame assembly mounted to and surrounding the opening. The enclosures are typically storm shelters. A door panel is hingedly mounted to the frame assembly along a longitudinal hinge axis. Outer and inner lever assemblies are pivotally mounted to fixed reference axes outside of the frame assembly. Force multipliers provide the torque necessary to move the door panel between two extreme positions. The lever assemblies used to create the pertinent moments of force are telescopic, having the longest dimensions that the space permits. Users can readily open and close the heavy hingedly mounted door assemblies.

Patent number: 4143556Abstract: An improved vent operator for controlling the position of an edge opening vent in the roof of a recreational vehicle or the like is disclosed. The vent operator is coupled to an electric motor, manual jamb or crank or the like, and comprises a set of reduction gears and drives two sector arms which raise or lower the vent cover. The gear reduction is accomplished by spur gears which have good mechanical properties. The cost of the entire apparatus is minimized by making the gears from pressed metal, the sector arms from stampings and the housing from castings. The result is a reliable vent operator that can be produced economically in commercial quantities.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1978Date of Patent: March 13, 1979Inventor: Peter F. Hauber

Patent number: 4068408Abstract: A vent operator assembly employing a pair of operator arms which simultaneously control the position of an edge opening vent for recreational vehicles and the like. An operator body is secured to the inner side of the recreational vehicle adjacent to the vent opening therein. The body mounts a worm gear extending between a wall of the body and a cup recess in a bridge extending across a sector shaped recess in the body. A pair of operator arms, each including integral gears are journaled in the body from within the sector recess for simultaneous rotation in opposite arcs. The operator arms are relatively rigid except for the outer 16% which is a flexure spring element. Each spring element mounts a roller which engages a track in the edge of the vent cover opposite its hinged side. Upon rotation of a knob connected to the worm gear, the operator arms move simultaneously in the opposite direction to either open or close the vent cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1976Date of Patent: January 17, 1978Assignee: Reflectolite Products, Inc.Inventor: Peter Fritz Hauber
