An actuatable slidable panel assembly, a retrofit kit for converting a slidable panel of a panel assembly from manually actuated sliding movement to mechanically assisted, actuatable sliding movement, and method of retrofitting a manually operating sliding panel therewith are provided. The retrofit kit includes an elongate driven rail configured for attachment to the slidable panel. The elongate driven rail is configured to be attached to the slidable panel. A rotatable drive member is configured for operable engagement with the elongate driven rail to drive the elongate driven rail and the slidable panel along the direction of travel between open and closed positions.

A system for controlling a louver blind mobile panel that is moveable along a rail installed in a living space construct. The mobile panel featuring an inner volume capable of housing at least one motor that is functionally coupled to an electronics unit. The electronics unit is controlled with a wireless remove controller to control the activity of the at least one motor.

An automatic door opening and closing device include a housing which may contain a control unit. A motor may be in electronic communication with the control unit, and a wheel may be coupled to the motor so that the motor may be operable to rotate the wheel in a clockwise direction and in a counter clockwise direction. A chassis may be configured to couple the motor to a door so that the wheel is in contact with a ground surface below the door. The motor may be operable to rotate the wheel clockwise across the ground surface to motivate the door in a first direction, and the motor may be operable to rotate the wheel counterclockwise across the ground surface to motivate the door in a second direction. By motivating the door in either the first direction or the second direction, the device may be configured to move the door into, out of, and between the open and closed positions.

A device for opening and closing a sliding window via a motorized drive mechanism, which can be controlled remotely. A drive assembly with a motor-controlled drive wheel is mounted on a window sill, and the drive wheel selectively engages with a track attached to the window glass. Signals are sent from a remote device to actuate the motor, turning the drive selectively engaged with the track to slide the window open and closed.

A linear gate drive assembly with a drive rail connectable to a gate panel. The drive rail has a first drive surface. A linear drive portion is coupled to the first drive surface and has teeth thereon with a first rolling tooth profile. The linear drive portion defines a toothed second drive surface. Dive motors are pivotally coupled to a support structure. A first drive wheel is attached to one drive motor and engages the first drive surface to impart an axial drive force on the drive rail. A second drive wheel is attached to another drive motor and engages the second drive surface. The second drive wheel has second teeth that mate with the first teeth and that define a second rolling tooth profile that substantially corresponds to the first rolling tooth profile. Rotation of the second drive wheel imparts axial and normal forces via a rolling teeth interface the mating teeth for moving the drive rail and the gate panel.
