In some embodiments, the URA additionally includes a quick release assembly that moves the pinion gear between an engaged position in which the pinion gear is rotatably connected to the drive gear and a disengaged position in which the pinion gear is not rotatably connected to the drive gear.

An access door may include a core, first and second stiles defined along opposites sides of the core such that the core between the first and second stiles defines a recessed pocket with each of the first and second stiles defining a channel therein extending longitudinally along an inwardly-facing edge thereof, bottom and top elongated panels each defining tongue members at opposite sides thereof and configured to be received transversely in the recessed pocket with the tongue members received within the channels defined along the inwardly-facing edges of the first and second stiles, wherein, with the top and bottom elongated panels received in the recessed pocket, exterior faces of the first and second stiles, exterior faces of the top and bottom elongated panels, and an exposed surface of the recessed pocket between the top and bottom elongated panels define an exterior surface of one side of the door.

A hands-free door unlatching and opening system is provided for an access door operatively mounted to a jamb assembly of a building, the door including a handle set having a latch normally received, with the door in a closed position, within a latch pocket of a jamb of the jamb assembly to latch the door to the jamb. The system may include a plunger axially aligned with the latch pocket opposite to the latch, an actuator operatively coupled to the plunger and responsive to actuation to advance the plunger into the latch pocket to force the latch out of the latch pocket to unlatch the door from the jamb, and means for automatically opening the door following unlatching of the door from the jamb.

An access door may include a core, stiles on opposites sides of the core, an elongated panel extending transversely between the stiles, wherein a major face of the door between the stiles defines one or more recessed pockets along a top edge of the elongated panel between and the stiles and the elongated panel, and a notch formed into the top edge of the elongated panel and extending along at least one of the recessed pockets, the notch extending downwardly into the top edge of the elongated panel so as to form a lip in the top edge of the elongated panel with the notch positioned between the lip and the one or more recessed pockets, the lip and the notch of the elongated panel together forming an accessory rail, wherein the accessory rail is configured to receive and support a complementarily configured hanger base of an accessory hanger.

A retractable sliding door (10) with automatic alignment to the wall (12) during the closing phase, suitable to alternately open and close a through space (14) made along said wall, comprising a lower guide (18) fixed to the floor and an upper guide (20) forming a support beam. In the upper guide (20) paired prominences (50, 52) and (60) are made constituting the sliding tracks of two or more pairs of wheels (54) and single wheels (58) borne by a shaft (56) and combined with a frame (62) to form a carriage. The lower guide (18) interacts with a roller (24) suitable to fit into a shaped channel with a mixed-line extension (26) made along the lower head of the door (10); the upper guide (20) is provided with a shaped channel (78) having the same and parallel mixed-line configuration as said shaped channel (26). The upper head of the door (10) being provided with means for its suspension to the frame (62) constituting the carriage.

Systems and methods for providing a door seal system for top-hanging sliding doors. In some implementations, two angled mating surfaces are used, one angled surface on a fixed frame and one reversed angled surface on the slideable door panel. The slideable door panel slides directly parallel to the fixed door frame. A mating seal surface is created that is only in frictional contact for a small portion of the linear slide distance of the door panel. In some implementations, rather than placing two opposing angled seal surfaces, the sealing system has one angled surface on the fixed door frame. In such implementations, the sliding door panel is adjusted to be in a reverse angled orientation relative to the angled surface of the fixed door frame. Seal designs for the rear vertical edge of the slideable door panel are also provided herein.

A safety system configured to prevent a finger from getting jammed in a gap between an automatic door and a door frame and stop an operation of the automatic door when the automatic door is caught by an obstacle. The safety system prevents a safety accident when a door D1, which is disposed at a gap d from a doorframe 10, configured to slide, and made of a transparent or semi-transparent plate shaped material, is opened or closed while sliding relative to a column 20 on which a push switch for opening the door D1 is installed The safety system for an automatic door includes a first switch means S1 installed along a front edge of the door D1, and a second switch means S2 installed at a front end of the doorframe 10 to cover the gap d between a surface of the door D1 and the front end of the doorframe 10.

An emergency response cabinet including a housing and a front door. The housing having opposing side walls, a bottom wall, a top wall and a rear wall cooperating to define a receiving cavity therein and a front opening. The receiving cavity being configured to receive at least one piece of protective equipment. The front door is connected to the housing and moveable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position the front door extends over the receiving cavity of the housing. In the open position the receiving cavity is unobstructed by the front door.

A container includes a main body having a first outer surface and a panel rotatably mounted to the main body. The panel has a second outer surface which is substantially flush with the first outer surface of the main body when the panel is in a closed position. The container further includes a rotation mechanism that enables rotational movement of the panel between the closed position and a fully open position in which the second outer surface of the panel is in contact with the first outer surface of the main body. The rotational movement is enabled via a mid-rotation telescoping component that is configured to enable movement of the panel away from the first outer surface of the main body.
