A door assembly may include a first sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a first door jamb, a second sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a second door jamb where the first and second sidelites are disposed in a common plane and defining a door opening between the first and second sidelites, a first sliding panel, a second sliding panel where the first and second sliding panels are movable from a closed position disposing the first and second sliding panels to block access through the door opening and an open position in which the first sliding panel is proximate the first sidelite and the second sliding panel is proximate the second sidelite, and are disposed in a second plane parallel to the common plane in both the open and closed position, a first partial door panel disposed in a third plane opposite the second plate relative to the common plane, and a second partial door panel disposed in the third plane, the first and second partial door panel being movable from being a closed state in which the first and second partial door panels at least partially block access through the door opening and an open state in which the first partial door panel is proximate the first sidelite and the second partial door panel is proximate the second sidelite. The first and second partial door panels are each operably coupled to a biasing assembly that biases the first and second partial door panels toward the open state, and the first and second partial door panels are configured to be transitioned to the closed state by manual operation against a force of the biasing assembly.

A system of actuating a door includes an actuator for driving an actuating motor of the system, in particular for carrying out an opening or closing movement of the door, a sensor for detecting a state of the system, and a control unit for connecting the actuator and the sensor, the control unit configured to control the system in its totality. The actuator, the sensor, and the control unit are each provided with a communication apparatus, with the plurality of communication apparatus being configured to automatically set up a wireless communication network between one another.

A door open and close mechanism for opening and closing a plurality of doors in a machine tool including a cover. The door open and close mechanism includes a linkage mechanism and a slide mechanism. The linkage mechanism is disposed between an operation door and an intermediate door. The linkage mechanism associates the intermediate door with the opening and closing of the operation door. The slide mechanism is disposed between the operation door and the linkage mechanism. The slide mechanism enables the operation door alone to open and close by a predetermined moving distance. When the operation door is operated to open and close within the moving distance, the operation door alone opens and closes by the slide mechanism. When the operation door is operated to open and close beyond the moving distance, the intermediate door opens and closes in association through the linkage mechanism.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly to a refrigerator including a dual door, which is convenient to use. In an embodiment, the present invention provides a refrigerator including a body defining a storage compartment therein, a first door hingedly provided at the body so as to open and close the storage compartment, the first door including a door frame having a hinge hole formed therein, and a second door hingedly provided at the first door by means of a hinge, the second door including a lateral side surface, the lateral side surface being at least partially fitted into the door frame, wherein the hinge includes a hinge shaft disposed in the first door so as to define a rotational center of the second door, a hinge bracket coupled to the second door, and an indented member provided between the hinge shaft and the hinge bracket, the indented member being moved through the hinge hole so as to allow the entire second door to escape from the door frame when the second door is opened.

This invention is directed toward a window for a garage door panel, where the window has an opening that is surrounded by a body portion, and can be manufactured as part of the manufacture of a garage door panel, or retrofitted into an existing garage door panel. The window has a sliding door that can be slid open to allow for air ventilation, and has bars so that pets cannot escape through the window when it is open, and some combination of a sliding screen and optional security bars to keep insects out and keep pets in the garage. The optional security bars can be bolted or otherwise attached to the panel, thereby not only strengthening the panel but also making it harder for pets to escape and any burglars to enter.

A refrigerator having a structure in which, when a first door or a second door is opened, a lamp installed at sidewalls of an opening in the first door emits light so that food stored in a door guard disposed in the opening can be illuminated. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment; a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and opens/closes the storage compartment, and has an opening formed therein, where at least one door guard is disposed in the opening; a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door, opens/closes the opening, and is rotated in the same direction as the first door; and a lamp installed at the sidewalls of the opening.

The present invention discloses a refrigerator and relates to the technical field of refrigerators. The refrigerator is invented to settle problems, such as increased external space occupied by a refrigerator when its secondary door is opened, increased difficulty in fetching goods in the refrigerator, and heavy loss of cooling capacity resulted from the full opening of an opening. The inventive refrigerator comprises a main door; an opening is formed on a door body of the main door; a guide rail is provided at an edge of the opening, and a secondary door is fitted on the guide rail; and the secondary door is connected with a driving mechanism which can drive the secondary door to slide along the guide rail, and as the secondary door slides along the guide rail, the secondary door can enclose or open the opening. The refrigerator of the present invention is used for preserving and freezing foods.

A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.
