Tilting door system
A tilt-up door having vertical side members each having a pivot point, the pivot points move upward or downward when an actuator is activated to move the door between open and closed positions. First and second cams connected to the vertical side members at a lower end of the cams, each of said cams extend from the lower end thereof upwardly and arcuately toward an interior of a building to a distal terminal end thereof, each of the ends contacts a cam follower. The cam followers slide along the first and second cams and guide the first and second cams and the door as the door moves between the open and closed positions.
Threshold system with an insulated thermal break device and related methods
A threshold system with an insulated thermal break device configured to provide a thermal break for insulating a door opening and related methods is provided.
Multi-panel stacking overhead door
A multi-panel overhead stacking door which allows for the addition of multiple panels across an opening width. A vertical extrusion acts a guide for the panel above and/or below it. The vertical extrusion serves as a moving guide which thereby allows for the relatively easy addition of multiple panels. At each end of the door is a series of formed parts that are attached to the ends of the end panels and movably maintained with door guides. The assembled door is driven by, for example, a driven shaft, positioned at the top of or above the door opening. The shaft comprises drums to windingly and unwindingly receive a lifting member. The lifting member runs from the drum to the bottom panel assembly behind each vertical extrusion.
Frame assembly
A frame assembly supporting an overhead door has a horizontal header connected to upright columns or posts with splice assemblies. Fasteners mounted on the columns cooperate with retainers on the splice assemblies to position and connect the columns to the header. Hinge assemblies pivotally mount the door on the header for movement between open and closed positions.
OVERHEAD DOOR HINGE
A frame assembly supporting an overhead door has a horizontal header connected to upright columns or posts with splice assemblies. Fasteners mounted on the columns cooperate with retainers on the splice assemblies to position and connect the columns to the header. Hinges pivotally mount the door on the header for movement between open and closed positions. Linear actuators connected to the frame assembly and door are operable to move the door between door open and door closed positions.
Overhead door and frame assembly
A frame assembly supporting an overhead door has a horizontal header connected to upright columns or posts with splice assemblies. Fasteners mounted on the columns cooperate with retainers on the splice assemblies to position and connect the columns to the header. Hinge assemblies pivotally mount the door on the header for movement between open and closed positions.
Containment device comprising a dry curtain
A containment device including a dry curtain, adapted to be deployed for the containment or re-containment of a discharge area, such as an opening, e.g. a door, in response to an explosion. The device includes a ballast bar in the lower portion of the curtain, the ballast bar including cylinders of high-density foam alternated with cylinders of compressible low-density foam.
Door Trim Apparatus and Method for Installing Same
A trim kit for a structural opening in a structure is provided. The trim kit may include a top cover configured to be affixed to the structure above the structural opening, a side cover configured to be respectively affixed to a side of the structure laterally adjacent to the structural opening, and a top clip track including a mounting portion configured to be affixed to a front surface of the structure above the opening in the structure, and a retaining portion extending outwardly from the mounting portion and configured to receive a topside lip of the top cover.
Hinge system and method for a segmented door
A hinge includes: a first and second gear; a cover configured to attach the gears; a first outside surface associated with the first panel; a second outside surface associated with the second panel; wherein when the first and second outside surfaces are in a generally co-planer orientation, a tooth from one of the first and second gears fits next to a tooth from the other of the first and second gears to form a water shedding joint. A method of forming a hinge includes: extruding a gear together with a panel having a first outside surface; a second panel a second outside surface; wherein when the first and second outside surfaces are in a generally co-planer orientation, a tooth from one of the first and second gears fits next to a tooth from the other of the first and second gears to form a water shedding joint.
Tilt-up door
A tilt-up door for a building having an opening including a door frame with vertical track members, cam surfaces extending laterally from the vertical tracks at the upper portion of the tracks and a door sized to span the opening. The door can be pivotally coupled with rollers disposed within the vertical tracks and cam followers extending laterally from the upper portion of the door to contact the cam surfaces. When an upwardly directed motive force acts on the door the cam followers come into engagement with the cam surface to lift the door generally vertically and then rotate the door inwardly as the door is raised into an open raised position.
