Abstract: A mechanism for locking and releasing individual swivelable door wings of a revolving door is described wherein a blocking element is used to effectively positively lock a cam, connected to the door wing, into a radial position and thus correspondingly lock the door wing in position. The blocking element can be in the form of a ring placed around a shaft about which various door wings can be swiveled and thus simultaneously act on various cams associated with respective door wings. The position of the blocking element is controlled with an electromagnetic arrangement that is so coupled to the blocking element that the failure of electrical power enables the door wing to be swiveled aside.

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.

Abstract: Revolving door having at least four variable length door wings extending radially into a passageway, and being offset from one another in the direction of rotation about a central axis. Each door wing includes at least two sliding door elements slidingly movable relative to each other to vary the radial length of the door wings. Each door wing has a pivot axis disposed radially outwardly from the central axis. Adjacent door wings are pivotable about their respective pivot axes from an operating position in which the door wings extend radially into the passageway to an open position in which the sliding door elements slide relative to each other to shorten the radial length and unblock the passageway.

Abstract: A revolving door assembly in which the individual door wings are releasably secured to a central support member, such that the door wings are retained in respective operative positions in which the wings extend substantially radially from the central hub in diametrically opposed pairs. The door wings are releasable from their operative positions in response to the exertion of a predetermined force thereon to allow one or more of the door wings to be rotated about their respective pivot axes to a folded position. The support member has a plurality of arm members projecting substantially radially therefrom. Each door wing is attached to a corresponding arm member by means of a ball and catch mechanism at a distal position relative to the support member. The ball is disengaged from the catch to allow the door wing to swing free of the arm member when a predetermined force is exerted thereon.

Abstract: A revolving door including a plurality of door leaves extending radially outwardly from a center shaft in angularly spaced positions. The door leaves are mounted in a door opening for rotation about said center shaft by upper and lower bearing means. The door also includes upper and lower collapsing mechanisms which are adapted to normally maintain the door leaves in their radial positions, but to permit pivotal movement of each door leaf about the center shaft between its normal radial position and a collapsed position in the event that the door leaf is subjected to abnormal forces. One of the upper and/or lower collapsing mechanisms has associated with it a locking assembly having an electromagnet which normally is operated to prevent the collapsing mechanism from functioning so that the door leaves can be collapsed.

Abstract: A revolving door assembly includes a pair of part-cylindrical wall portions partly surrounding the rotational path of a revolving door and partly defining a passage. Pairs of part-cylindrical wall panels are provided in association with the part-cylindrical wall portions, such wall panels being movable along paths concentric with the rotational path of the revolving door and being adapted to close and open the passage substantially in syncronism with the continuous rotation of the revolving door. Thereby passage will remain checked during such rotation, alternatingly by the revolving door alone and by the door in cooperation with the wall panels of each pair, whereby a draft-free passage will be maintained.

Abstract: A revolving door in which the center revolving support is generally cylindrical with a diameter at least 0.3 that of the space between the stationary walls of the door. Four door panels are hinged to the central member, and maintained in their normal positions by hydraulic door closers, so that the door panels can be rotated about their hinges to storage positions alongside the central member, and can be deflected when the door panels catch up to persons within the door. Radar type sensors detect the presence of people entering the doors, and speed up the rotation speed of the doors to facilitate movement through them. Proximity sensors on the door panels slow down the rotation of the door when a door panel begins to catch up to a person within the door. Door swing-back sensors detect when a door panel is pushed back (against the direction of door rotation) by contact with a person within the door, and cause the door to stop rotating upon such an occurrence.

Abstract: A revolving door (10) adapted to be mounted in a doorway to provide access and egress. The door (10) revolves about a vertical axis and has an upper cam housing (20) and a lower cam housing (22). Radial slots (24) extend through cam housings (20, 22). Pins (26) engage slots (24) and secure doorwings (12) to upper and lower cam housings (20, 22). A mechanism is mounted within at least one of cam housings (20, 22) for permitting doorwings (12) to be collapsed in panic situations or to accommodate large objects. At least one of the upper and lower cam housings has lateral bores (34) extending therethrough and intersecting the radial slots (24) at right angles. The mechanism for permitting the cam housings to be collapsed includes a cam mounted on each pin securing the doorwing to the cam housing and a spring-biased detent mechanism mounted within the lateral bore.

Abstract: A revolving door has a plurality of leaves mounted for rotation about a common axis. To permit collapse of the door in an emergency, the leaves are mounted, at each end, by means of mechanisms that permit such collapse. There is provided a mechanism for mounting one end of a door leaf, the mechanism having a support plate for rotation about the central axis. First and second pivot means are mounted on the support plate, and corresponding first and second pivot devices are mounted on the door leaf. The pivot means and devices, e.g. corresponding projections and recesses, are such that, the door leaf can pivot about one pair of pivot device and means, while the other pair of pivot device and means separate from one another. Once rotation has commenced about one pair of pivot device and means, they are such that they cannot then be separated, thus securing the door.

Abstract: A collapsible revolving door in which a plurality of leaves (32, 34, 36) are mounted to an upper cam housing (52) and a lower cam housing (56) for rotation about a central axis. Each of the leaves is mounted to a cam (80) through a pivot shaft (60) for rotation about a central axis of the cam (80) and the pivot axis (60). Each cam (80) has substantially opposed engaging sockets (84, 86) and substantially opposed collapsing sockets (88, 90). Dentent mechanisms (92) have semispherical cam followers (96) which are positioned in the engaging sockets (84, 86) when the leaves are radially oriented about the central axis. Under panic conditions, the door leaves (32, 34, 36) rotate about the pivot shafts (60) against the retaining force of the detent mechanism (92), whereby the detent mechanisms will register with the collapsing sockets (88, 90). Adjustment blocks (98) are adjustable mounted in the housing (52, 54) to simultaneously adjust the bias on two adjacent detent mechanism springs (94).

Means are included for sensing two or more persons in the selected compartment moving from a starting point between the entrance and the exit, the sensing means reversely rotating the door to return the selected compartment to the starting point.

Abstract: An emergency exit is provided through a revolving door, having leaves angularly spaced from each other and rotatable in an enclosure in an operating condition, by automatically aligning all of these leaves parallel to a line of exit traffic through the enclosure. The revolving door leaves may be so aligned by first biasing the leaves toward each other, but maintaining the leaves angularly spaced by releasable retention against the bias exerted by such biasing, and by thereafter releasing such retention in response to an emergency condition and aligning the leaves automatically by force of the bias.

Abstract: A magnetic door breakaway system for remote unlocking of doors and apertures. An electromagnet (80), and armature (82) are mounted within a doorframe. Within either the magnet or armature are depressions (220) and (222) in one member and lands (206) and (208) in the other. In the preferred embodiment, the armature is movably affixed to the top of the doorframe and with energizing of the electromagnet, the lands mate with the depressions, making movement of the door impossible. In an emergency situation, the magnet is de-energized, the two members separate, and the door may open freely.In an alternative embodiment, an electromagnet (304) is connected to a plunger (310) which is received within the striker plate (320).

Abstract: A revolving door system has a central axis defining center shaft and three wing hangers rigidly joined and extending in equidistant spaced apart relationship about the center shaft's upper portion. Pivots couple three planar upright wings in closely spaced apart relationship to the center shaft. A magnetic latch on each wing hanger is spaced apart from the central axis more remote than the pivot, releasably maintaining the wings in ganged alignment with the hangers.A pair of facing substantially semicircular walls, spaced apart to define regions of ingress and egress, partially surrounds the wings and shaft on opposite sides. Each wall has two adjacent movable side panels hinged on opposite sides of a center panel, movable from a nominally enclosing position to an open panic position.Disposed remote from the adjacent side panel, a magnetic latch releasably maintains the side panels in circular alignment with the enclosure.

Abstract: A collapsible revolving door is described and includes upper and lower latching mechanisms which normally retain leaves of the door in radially disposed, angularly spaced positions but which allow the leaves to collapse flat against one another in the event that abnormal forces are applied thereto. Each latching mechanism includes one latch member for each leaf. The latch member is mounted on a pivot pin for the leaf so that the latch member will turn with the leaf from a normal radial position to a collapsed position. The latch member is retained in its normal position by spring biassed detents which will release when abnormal forces are applied to the associated leaf.

Abstract: A door system of the swinging type to neutralize air draft effects on the door, which is conceived to allow panic exit and to psychologically induce the user to pivot the latter in a predetermined direction. This door system includes a pair of wings or panels having a releasable magnetic connection allowing normal bodily pivoting of the two wings as a simple swinging door and also allowing, for instance under panic, outward opening of the wing which normally opens inwardly. This door system includes a stopper and a door frame relatively arranged to define an oblique closing position for the door, and also includes a resilient strip of adjustable resilience engaging the stopper to prevent inadvertant opening of the panic wing.
