A self-adjusting retractable screen system including a sheet of flexible screen material and a bottom bar assembly extending horizontally along a bottom edge of the sheet of flexible screen material from a first end to a second end. The bottom bar assembly includes a termination bar secured to the bottom edge of the sheet of flexible screen material and an adjustable arm received on the termination bar. The adjustable arm can be rotated between a level position and a rotated position.

The present invention is a bottom assembly for a breakaway door. The bottom assembly comprises a first mounting plate fixed on one of the faces of the breakaway door proximate to its bottom and a security edge formed of a loop of flexible material suspended from the bottom of the breakaway door. The security edge has a second tab sandwiched between the first mounting plate and the breakaway door to mount the security edge to the breakaway door. The loop of flexible material has an interior void at least partially filled with an internal cushion. The bottom assembly further includes a first padded bar including a bumper and a first tab extending from the bumper wherein the first tab is sandwiched between the first mounting plate and the breakaway door to mount the first padded bar to said breakaway door.

A mounting bracket lock may be configured to secure the mounting bracket of a window treatment housing to a rail of the housing. The mounting bracket lock may be slidably attachable to the rail and, when in a locked position, may prevent the mounting bracket from detaching from the rail. The mounting bracket lock may include a body that is mountable to the rail. The body may include a first portion that slidably attaches to the rail, and a second portion that receives a portion of the rail and a portion of the mounting bracket, thereby securing the mounting bracket in a locked position relative to the rail. The body of the mounting bracket lock may define one or more projections that extend therefrom, and that engage in a friction fit between corresponding surfaces of the mounting bracket when the mounting bracket lock is in the locked position.

A rolling shutter mechanism and a method for protecting a rolling shutter assembly covering an opening. The rolling shutter assembly includes a shutter, guide rails, a shutter roller and a locking mechanism. The rolling shutter mechanism includes protecting means to cover the rolling shutter assembly. The protecting means include a protecting box covering the shutter roller, protecting frames covering the guide rails and a protecting unit covering the lower part of the shutter when it is in its closed position.

A quick-action roll-up door (1) for a cold storage room has a flexible door panel (5), which is windable onto a horizontal shaft (4) in a vertical running direction for purposes of closing a door opening (2) bounded by a door frame (3). A winding drive (6) opens and closes the door, together with a pressure application frame (8), subjecting the door panel in a closing position to force, transverse to a planar face of the door panel, in the direction of the door frame. Furthermore, device features are provided, which apply force to the pressure application frame in the direction of the door frame when the roll-up door is closed, and relieve it when it is opened. The device features have a traction drive (14), which is functionally connected to the winding drive for the door panel, and which controls the movement of the pressure application frame.

With a high performance door, preferably high speed door, for closing an opening (11), preferably in a wall (12) comprising a flexible curtain (13) to be wound and unwound on a shaft to open and close the opening (11) with a rigid bottom beam (15) attached on the lower end of said curtain (13) the risk from the bottom beam to the environment upon opening is reduced in, that the rigid bottom beam (15) comprising at least one flush side (20) at least almost flushing the curtain (13).

A device for driving a closure component (9) in a building from a solar energy source (1), comprising at least one low-voltage alternating current electric motor (3) mechanically coupled to the closure component, a direct current electrical energy accumulator element (2), a solar energy source delivering a direct voltage. The electrical energy accumulator element has a nominal voltage lower than said effective electric voltage and greater than the direct voltage delivered by the solar energy source. A DC-DC charger (4) converts the output electrical energy from the solar energy source into electrical energy with an electric voltage for charging the electrical energy accumulator element. A DC-AC converter (5) converts the electrical energy with a direct output voltage of the electrical energy accumulator element into electrical energy with an alternating voltage that is able to power said electric motor.
