SAFETY GATE APPARATUS
20190078369 · 2019-03-14 ·

The present application provides a safety gate apparatus which is configured to receive the delivery of goods by way of fork lift therethrough while simultaneously preventing falls and injury. A version of the safety gate apparatus comprises a first and second support structures which are laterally disposed defining a delivery space therebetween for ingress and egress of the forks of the fork lift, and a moveable gate assembly supported by the first and second support structures moveable between a closed, default position and an open position.

METHOD OF DOOR CONTROL WITHOUT HAND CONTACTING AND THE DEVICE CARRYING OUT THIS METHOD
20190048638 · 2019-02-14 · ·

The method of door control without, hand contact, wherein, when the door leaf is in its stationary closed position, all the energy necessary for automatic opening and subsequent closing the door leaf, initiated by an actuating force, preferably realized by means of a foot lever, is accumulated in an opening and closing mechanism during the actuating action of the controlling mechanism. During the automatic opening, the only acting force is the tension of the opening member, and during the subsequent automatic closing, the only acting force is the tension of the closing member. By means of the bimodal opening and closing mechanism, the tensions of these two members act separately, not against each other.

MOTOR-ACTUATED HANDS-FREE DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING SYSTEM
20240384584 · 2024-11-21 · ·

A cost-effective, hands-free door opener activated via foot, cane, remote, Bluetooth, security systems, smart home technology, or proximity sensors which promotes hygienic and accessible door operation without physical contact. This device features a linear motion mechanism with a spring-loaded drive wheel, ensuring stable operation across varied surface types, environments, and door orientations. It includes precise control over the angle, distance, and speed of door opening and closing, complemented by user interfaces. Sensors adapt to environmental conditions and user presence, reducing pathogen transmission risks. Programmable delays for door operations cater to different traffic flows and safety requirements. The system supports various motor types and power setups including wireless operation and charging, suitable for retrofitting existing doors in commercial, institutional, and residential areas. Safety features detect obstructions, ensuring seamless operation. This invention integrates robust mechanical design with intelligent sensors integrated by a controller, enhancing door functionality in diverse environments.

Door opening system and method
12173544 · 2024-12-24 · ·

A door opener for a door includes a frame coupled to the door and a wheel rotatably supported by the frame. The wheel, including its position relative to the door and frame, as well as its shape, are configured to convert a downward force applied by a user's foot into a lateral force that opens the door by rotating the wheel in contact with the floor.

Vehicle console to seat gap blocker assembly

A gap blocker assembly includes a support structure and a gap blocker panel operably coupled to the support structure. The gap blocker panel is movable to a substantially horizontal position to block a gap between a center console assembly and a seat.

Secure space barrier
20170107678 · 2017-04-20 ·

A space barrier for preventing the unauthorized use of reserved spaces comprising a vertical locking mechanism and a raising mechanism. The raising mechanism comprising at least a pedal-like component welded to a push up member for displacing in a rotational matter the space barrier from a horizontal position to a vertical position. The raising mechanism is useful for avoiding lower back injuries or for assisting user with lower back injuries. Further the locking mechanism assist the parking barrier to hold the vertical position while avoiding the entry or exit of a vehicle from the parking space.
