In example implementations, a horizontal door guide for a vertically stacking door is provided. The horizontal door guide includes a first track and a second track to vertically stack panels of a door along a horizontal line, a drive shaft coupled to a bottom most panel to lift the door vertically, a Geneva drive shaft coupled to the drive shaft, and a lifting cam coupled to the Geneva drive shaft, wherein the lifting cam comprises a rotating lever to separate and lift adjacent panels of the door as the door is opened in a vertical direction by the drive shaft and to push panels into the first track and the second track.

In example implementations, an end cap is provided. The end cap includes a body portion comprising a top end, a bottom end, a front side, a back side, an inner side, and an outer side, a plurality of openings aligned between the inner side and the outer side to receive a mechanical fastener to connect to an end of the panel, a cam lever coupled to the top end, wherein the cam lever is to rotate around an axis to generate a lift force to lift and separate an adjacent panel, and a plurality of wheels coupled to the inner side, wherein the panel moves along a horizontal track via the plurality of wheels aligned with the horizontal track.

The invention refers to a retractable a retractable modular partition wall that may be used to partition residential spaces, or it may operate as a garage door that is mounted on two parallel walls of a premises and consists (FIG. 1.1) of an assembled left-side runway. A, that is fastened with the aid of the some known fastening elements, such as dowels and screws, on the conventionally left wall of the premises, an assembled right-side runway, B, mirroring the left-side runway, A, and which is fastened with some known fastening elements, such as dowels and screws, on the conventionally right-side wall of the premises, a drive mechanism. C, and several assembled movable panels, D. The retractable modular partition wall is conceived so that: i) when used inside or outside a building, in retracted state, it looks like a horizontal beam, whereas in expanded state it operates as a wall; ii) when used outside a building, in retracted state it looks like a horizontal beam, whereas in expanded state, it operates as a garage door; iii) it is operated through electronic command and, in case of power failure, it can be driven manually; iv) when used in a premises, whether inside or outside a building, in expanded state, it can operate as a projection screen or an advertising surface.

A sectional folding overhead door assembly that includes a pair of opposite, vertically disposed side supports and guides defining a door opening between them, each of the supports and guides including a first channel and a second channel disposed side-by-side, a door component having a first, second, third and fourth rectangular panel adapted for folding vertical movement along the supports and guides, a folding movement controlling member, each folding movement controlling member having a folding movement controlling member upper end hingeably connected to a respective side edge of the first and third panels, respectively, and a folding movement controlling member lower end hingeably connected to the respective guide plate lower end around a folding movement controlling member hinge axis, and a folding movement guiding channel into which a respective side plate guiding pin of a side plate attached to the second panel extends.

A high-speed sectional overhead door covers a door opening with panels stacked in a single plane and lifted from the bottom-most panel. As panels are lifted, each rolls in its own individual track. As the panels move into the head area, they run through curved tracks and are nested there. The stored panels stacked horizontally one atop another with the door open. This design utilizes a dedicated panel-track pairing as well as a unique hook/cam device which allows for the upper panel to be both locked in the closed position and pushed away for separation and storage in the open position. The design also provides a sectional door with low headroom clearance, high speed closing/opening and a multitude of panel heights without hinges joining the adjacent panels

A blind made up of a plurality of customisable rigid slats enables the blind to be fitted snugly within any window opening or doorway as a result of the locking adjustability of the width of such slats. The slats each include a pair of elongate slat panels movable relative to one another between retracted and extended conditions, such that the operative width of the blind is greater in the extended condition than in the retracted condition. The blind further includes one or more fasteners, located at or near each of a pair of minor ends of the slat panels, for releasably fixing the pair of slat panels to one another in the retracted condition, the extended condition and/or any condition there between, thereby to operatively restrict relative movement between the slat panels in such condition.

A collapsible wall for covering an opening in a structure when the collapsible wall is in an extended position. The collapsible wall including a plurality of frame sections engaged with each other to form a telescoping frame movable between the extended position and a retracted position, the frame sections forming at least a portion of a face of the collapsible wall and defining an aperture through the face. A panel is removably engaged to the frame sections, the panel covering the aperture when the panel is disposed in a closed position.

A balance system used with a door of a cupboard comprises a transmission shaft, a first pulley on the transmission shaft, and a balance component. The first pulley is connected to a door belt, one end of the door belt is secured to the first pulley, and the other end of the belt is connected to the door. The balance component comprises a balancing member, a balancing belt and a second pulley on the transmission shaft. One end of the balancing belt is connected to the second pulley, and the other end of the balancing belt is connected to the balancing member, such that the balancing member is hung on the second pulley. The first pulley and the second pulley rotate synchronously, and the door belt and the balancing belt are wound oppositely. With the balance system, a small driving force can open/close the door.

A collapsible gate may provide a temporary barrier to prevent movement between rooms, or to prevent access to a staircase, in a home or commercial building. A pre-framed collapsible gate may be secured to and supported by a framing system for installation within a wall, wherein the collapsible gate is adapted for storage within the framing system when not in use. The pre-framed collapsible gate may be vertically retractable and adapted to stow within a framing system installed within a wall and out of sight. The collapsible gate may include a counterbalance to maintain the gate within the framing system when the gate is in the fully open position, and to assist in opening the gate when the gate is lifted from a closed position.

A barrier latch assembly having a housing including a first locking element, a second locking element, a trigger and a swing plate. The swing plate is coupled to the trigger and to the first and second locking elements. When the trigger is depressed, the swing plate pivots from an unlock position to a lock position over a rear side of the first and second locking element thereby blocking and preventing the first and second locking elements from being depressed inward.
