A garage door blind assembly for selectively darkening or illuminating a garage includes a garage door that has a plurality of windows extending therethrough to pass sunlight therethrough. A plurality of sets of blinds is each of the sets of blinds is movably coupled to the garage door and each of the sets of blinds is aligned with a respective one of the windows. Each of the sets of blinds is positionable in a closed position to inhibit sunlight from passing through the respective window. Conversely, each of the sets of blinds is positionable in an open position to facilitate sunlight to pass through the respective window.

A high-speed sectional overhead door covers a door opening with panels stacked in a single plane and lifted from the bottom-most panel. As panels are lifted, each rolls in its own individual track. As the panels move into the head area, they run through curved tracks and are nested there. The stored panels stacked horizontally one atop another with the door open. This design utilizes a dedicated panel-track pairing as well as a unique hook/cam device which allows for the upper panel to be both locked in the closed position and pushed away for separation and storage in the open position. The design also provides a sectional door with low headroom clearance, high speed closing/opening and a multitude of panel heights without hinges joining the adjacent panels

An aircraft door mechanism includes an aircraft structure (14) delimiting an opening (24); an aircraft door (26) movable between a position closing off the opening (24) and a released position of the opening (24); and a guide system (28) for moving the door (26) between the closed off and released positions. The guide system (28) includes a main rail (46) that is fixed relative to the structure and a main carriage (48) mechanically connected to the door (26) and able to slide on the main rail (46) during the movement between said closed off and released positions. The main rail (46) is positioned between the door (26) and the structure during at least part of the movement of the door (26) between said closed off and released positions.

In example implementations, an end cap for a panel of a vertically stacking panel door is provided. The end cap includes a body to be coupled to an end of a panel of a vertically stacking panel door, a first track wheel coupled to the body, a second track wheel coupled to the body, and a vertical stability roller coupled to the body, wherein the first track wheel, the second track wheel, and the vertical stability roller are arranged along a vertical line, wherein the first track wheel is located vertically above the second track wheel and the vertical stability roller is located between the first track wheel and the second track wheel.

The invention relates to a vertically movable gate with a gate panel comprising several gate panel segments, where two adjacent gate panel segments are each hingedly connected to one another by way of at least one hinge, and with a motorized drive which transmits a force for lifting and lowering the gate panel via at least one drive means to the gate panel, and a connection means for connecting the drive means to the gate panel. Gates of the type mentioned at the outset are improved according to the invention such that, though such a gate can be moved easily between an open and a closed position largely independent of the forces arising, it nevertheless provides a compact and simultaneously stable and fail-safe design in that several gate panel segments are each individually connected to the drive means.

A hinge for movably attaching parts together incudes a first gear, a second gear, a cover configured to attach the first gear to the second gear, first and second sliding surfaces on the cover wherein the first gear slides on the first sliding surface and the second gear slides on the second sliding surface when the hinge is operated, and an area on the first gear with no teeth configured to slide past the second gear to allow the first gear to enter the cover. Assembling a hinge includes moving a surface without gear teeth on a first gear past a toothed surface on a second gear, moving the first and second gears into a cover, meshing a tooth on the first gear with a tooth on the second gear, and holding the first and second gears together with the cover.
