System for a lock for a closure, a lock for use with such a system, and a closure system
10544624 · 2020-01-28 ·

A system for a closure lock comprises a battery-powered remote module with a lock mechanism for operating the lock, the remote module communicating with a base station coupled to a closure controller, the base station able to send lock control signals to the remote module to operate the lock. The module is arranged to have an operation mode and a non-operation mode, power consumption in the non-operation mode being lower than that in the operation mode, and is further configured to switch between the modes based on instructions from the base station. In the non-operation mode, the module maintains a communication link with the base station based on a pre-established synchronisation protocol. The invention provides reliability against interference between base station and remote module, whilst greatly limiting the power consumption of the remote module.

Base Slat Pry Stopper
20190390516 · 2019-12-26 ·

A base slat pry stopper, such as a base slat locking bracket, for locking a rolling shutter curtain covering an opening of a structure is disclosed. The base slat pry stopper may include a bracket base plate mounted to an opening bottom wall on an interior side of the shutter curtain, and a base slat engagement portion extending upward from the bracket base plate and above a top surface of the opening bottom wall. When the shutter curtain is unrolled to cover the opening, the base slat engagement portion engages the base slat to prevent the base slat from deflecting upward away from the opening bottom wall when a force applied from an exterior side of the shutter curtain causes the base slat to deflect toward the interior side of the structure and the shutter curtain. The base slat pry stopper may be permanently or removably installed.

In one embodiment, a guide system includes a first member configured to be fixed to a structure. A coupling element is fixed to the first member. A second member is moveable relative to the first member. The second member is configured to receive the coupling element to couple the first member to the second member. There is a channel between the first member and the second member when the first member is coupled to the second member. The channel is configured to receive a portion of a closure.

Industrial door lock
11933104 · 2024-03-19 · ·

A locking mechanism for use with a door structure having a corrugated surface includes a main body having a corrugated surface. The locking mechanism is configured to be adjustable between an unlocked position where the corrugated surface of the main body is not nested relative to the corrugated surface of the door structure and a locked position where the corrugated surface of the main body is nested relative to the corrugated surface of the door structure. The corrugated surface of the main body includes a plurality of engagement surfaces. Each of the engagement surfaces is configured to resist movement and/or deformation of the door structure with respect to a direction of movement of the door structure associated with the door structure being moved from a closed position towards an open position.

Overhead closure with tube and hook end lock

A closure locking design is presented that is more resistant to a displacement/dislodgement force. A closure end strip is fixed to a closure end and received by a closure guide first section. A rotatable tube and hook assembly run vertically within a closure guide second section. When rotated to a locking position a hook member of the tube and hook assembly rotates through a slot cut in the guide and through a cutout in the closure end strip to restrictively engage the closure.

A SCREEN ASSEMBLY
20190301242 · 2019-10-03 ·

A screen assembly includes a support structure. A roller assembly is mounted on the support structure. A flexible panel with a distal end is mounted on the roller assembly so that the flexible panel can be wound on to and off the roller assembly as the flexible panel is retracted and extended. Two opposed track assemblies are arranged on the support structure, sides of the flexible panel and each track assembly being configured so that the sides of the flexible panel can slide within the track assemblies as the flexible panel is retracted and extended. At least one of the track assemblies has a static support that is fixed relative to the support structure and a dynamic support that is displaceable relative to the static support. An adjustment mechanism is operatively connected to the static and dynamic supports to adjust a lateral position of the dynamic support relative to the static support. An elongate guide assembly is mounted on a proximal end of the flexible panel to guide movement of the flexible panel with respect to the track assemblies. An adjustment mechanism is operatively connected to the static and dynamic supports to adjust a lateral position of the dynamic support relative to the static support. An insert is mounted on at least one end of the guide assembly. The dynamic support of said at least one of the track assemblies includes a runner in which the insert is received to slide or roll with respect to the dynamic support as the flexible panel is retracted and extended.

Closure locking system

A lock module comprising a housing, a lock pawl, and an actuator. The lock pawl may be moveable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the lock pawl extends from the housing by a greater distance in the extended position than in the retracted position. The actuator may be configured to selectively couple to the lock pawl, the lock module being in a locked configuration when the actuator is coupled to the lock pawl. The lock pawl may be configured to move in a first direction as a closure moves from a first position to a second position and the lock pawl may be configured to move in a second direction as the closure moves from the second position to the first position. The first direction may be opposite the second direction. The lock pawl may be configured to block movement of the closure when the lock module is in the locked configuration.

UNIVERSAL AUTOMATIC TENSIONING SYSTEM FOR ROLLER BLINDS AND AWNINGS WITH SIDE RAILS
20190024453 · 2019-01-24 ·

An universal automatic tensioning system, for roller blinds and awnings with side rails, comprising a crossbar (2) equipped with a spring pin (6) that can move along a side guide (3) that defines the rail for the shift of the awning (1), characterized in that it includes one or more fixed clip(s) (4) that can be hooked by the spring pin (6) causing the locking of the roller blind (1); a further movement of the awning's crossbar (2) will force the spring pin (6) engaging with a mobile flap (5) that works as a sort of bridge for the spring pin (6), causing the unlocking of the crossbar (2), so as to realize the setting for the automatic tensioning of the roller blind (1).
