In a preferred embodiment, a telescoping panel door for an aircraft compartment includes a first panel configured for hinged connection to a surface of a door frame, a second panel, and a linkage fixing a distance that the second panel can extend from the door frame, where the second panel is configured for connection to the door frame via the linkage. The door operates such that, in a closed position, the second panel is extended from an interior of the first panel, the first and second panels cooperate to completely cover an opening defined by the door frame, and the linkage is generally parallel to the plane defined by the door frame. In an open position, the second panel is retracted into the interior of the first panel by operation of the linkage and the first and second panels are nested to reduce a distanced spanned by the panels.

Provided are a fireproof door apparatus, a fireproof structure, and a substrate treating facility.

The fireproof door apparatus includes a fireproof shutter opening and closing a passage connecting two spaces, a release unit installed on one side of the passage and in the fireproof shutter and fixing the fireproof shutter in an open state using magnetic force or releasing the fireproof shutter that is fixed, and a gas spring connected to the fireproof shutter and moving the fireproof shutter toward the passage by heat of the fire to close the passage.

A closure system in a vehicle for opening and closing openings for an air passage includes at least two closure elements fitted to a closure carrier. The at least two closure elements close or release the same number of openings and are moved together. The closure carrier is supported on bearings on the vehicle at the respective end regions of the longitudinal extent of the closure carrier, and is pivoted by way of a single actuator with a gear mechanism and a lever drive about articulation locations on the vehicle. The lever drive drives additional levers in the end region of the closure carrier which is spaced apart from the actuator by way of a square shaft.

A sliding door assembly comprises a plurality of door panels for coordinated movement along an upper guide track. A bracket is mounted to the upper end of one of the door panels. The bracket comprises an elongated member and defines a plurality of openings for receiving fasteners and roller mechanisms. At least one roller mechanism is secured to each of the door panels and slidably received within the upper guide track. A pair of pulleys is secured to the bracket for carrying an endless cable and the door panels are secured to the cable. In a fully open position, a first outer door panel of the door panels is secured to the cable of the immediately adjacent door panel at a side of the immediately adjacent door panel opposite to the lead edge.
