Provided is a protective cover for a weighing instrument in which movement of a sliding door does not degrade over time. A protective cover (2) for a weighing instrument includes sliding doors (2L, 2R) defining a weighing chamber (5), an upper frame (11) formed at an upper edge of the sliding door, a lower frame (12) formed at a lower edge of the sliding door, an upper guide rail (17) disposed on the upper frame, and a lower guide rail (18) disposed under the lower frame, where the upper guide rail suspends the upper frame, and between the upper guide rail and the upper frame, balls (215) are disposed at a plurality of positions in a moving direction of the sliding door.

A telescoping door system includes a header that spans across a doorway. A trailing jamb and a lead jamb disposed a clear opening distance from the trailing jamb defines a clear opening of the doorway. A sidelite panel is coupled to the trailing jamb by at least one swing clear hinge; the swing clear hinge comprises a fixed gear portion intermeshed with a revolving gear portion. A slow slide panel and a fast slide panel move linearly within the header. The slow and fast slide panels are configured to create a first-sized opening when positioned in the header. The sidelite panel, the slow slide panel, and the fast slide panel are configured to pivot out of the header in a breakout position such that a trailing rail of the sidelite panel is disposed at least partially outside the clear opening and in front of the trailing jamb.

A stacking panel covering for an architectural opening includes a headrail and a plurality of suspended from the headrail. The panels form an overlapped stack at one end of the headrail when the stacking panel covering is opened, and cover the architectural opening when the stacking panel covering is closed. The panels are piggybacked on those adjacent thereto, so that they stack, one behind the next, when the stacking panel covering is opened, and so that each pulls the next adjacent thereto as the stacking panel covering is being closed. The panels themselves may be planar, or convexly curved in a horizontal direction and substantially straight in a vertical direction.

A gate comprises a spring-loaded hinge arrangement defining a rotational axis. A gate structure having a first support arm connected to a first end of the hinge arrangement is also provided. The gate structure is rotatable about the rotational axis. A spring-loaded hinge arrangement includes an outer hinge tube fixedly connectable to an adjacent structure and an inner hinge tube received in the outer hinge tube. The inner hinge tube has a first portion and a second portion movable with respect to each other, the second portion of the inner hinge tube being fixed with respect to the outer hinge tube and the first portion of the inner hinge tube being fixed with respect to the support arm.

In example implementations, a header seal for a vertical stacking panel door is provided. The header seal includes a header channel and a seal plate. The header channel includes a body portion comprising a plurality of openings to receive a mechanical fastener and a lip portion coupled to the body portion. The seal plate includes a bracket comprising a plurality of openings to receive a mechanical fastener to connect the bracket to the top most vertical panel and a flexible member to contact the lip portion to form a seal against the lip of the header channel when the vertically stacking panel door is in a closed position.

A retractable bathroom door includes a fixed frame, a mobile frame, a first pull string and a foldable portion. The mobile frame is perpendicular to the upper frame portion of the fixed frame and horizontally moves in a frame range thereof. A frame portion at one side of the mobile frame has a first hollow structure. A first upper pulley and a first lower pulley are respectively disposed at a top end and a bottom end of the first hollow structure. The first pull string has two ends which are wound around the first upper pulley and the first lower pulley in a crossover manner. An upper rail and a lower rail are respectively disposed on the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion of the fixed frame. An upper strip and a lower strip are respectively disposed on the upper rail and the lower rail.
