The invention relates to a rolling door comprising a door leaf which can be moved between an open position, in which it at least partially releases a wall opening and forms a multi-layer winding above the wall opening, and a closed position, in which it at least partially closes the wall opening, as well as comprising joint assemblies arranged in the region of the lateral edges of the door leaf, at least sections of which are running in the direction of gravity in the closed position, and secured to the door leaf, for guiding the door leaf movement, each of which includes a plurality of joint elements articulately connected relative to joining shafts running perpendicular to the lateral edges and approximately parallel to the door leaf plane, wherein at least sections of the door leaf are made of a bendable material, such as a plastic film, which is stabilised by two, three or more stabilising devices running perpendicular to the lateral edges and in the door leaf plane, wherein the door leaf is only connected to the joint assemblies via the stabilising devices.

Roller doors made of flexible material have a number of uses, particularly for rapid access into cool stores. However, such doors require stiffening in the form of wind bars to prevent the doors blowing out in gusts of wind. The wind bars produce problems when rapidly closing a roller door, as the door blade of the roller door is rolled up onto a roller. And for doors in cool stores that are opened and closed hundreds of times a day, such problems are significant. The present roller door blade solves or minimizes the problems by fitting longitudinal spacer elements along the length of the door which act to provide space between adjacent layers of the door blade as it accumulates on the roller, allowing any wind bars of the door blade to be stowed on the roller without interfering or clashing with other wind bars.

A roll-up door including a flexible curtain having a front surface, a back surface, a first end coupled to a shaft, a second end opposite the first end, and first and second side edges extending between the first end and the second end, the flexible curtain being moveable between a retracted position wherein the flexible curtain is coiled around the shaft and a deployed position wherein the flexible curtain is uncoiled from the shaft. A first retention band is mounted along at least a portion of the first side edge of the flexible curtain, the first retention band including an inner surface at least partially facing towards the flexible curtain, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, a fixed edge attached to the flexible curtain generally parallel to the first side edge, and a free edge opposite the fixed edge and movable relative to the fixed edge.

A door, in particular a rolling door, comprising a door leaf that can be moved along a track including a deflecting portion between an open position, in which it at least partially exposes a wall opening, and a closed position, in which it at least partially closes the wall opening, which includes at least one bending region that is deformable during the door leaf movement along the deflecting portion and is made of a flexible base material such as polycarbonate, wherein a functional film is laminated onto at least one part of at least one bounding surface of at least one bending region.

A method and apparatus for a retractable gate. A retractable gate includes a main case housing a retractable fabric panel, the fabric panel including a carrier bar positioned along an edge opposing the main case, an attachment bracket, the carrier bar on the fabric panel removably attached to either side of an attachment bracket, and a portion of the fabric

According to some aspects, provided are curtain assemblies configured to operate in high wind environments. The curtain assembly can include first and second track guide including internal security rails. The internal securing rails moveably engage end portions of fabric stiffeners to provide stability in the curtain. In some embodiments, the securing rails include ramp portions to accommodate drift in the curtain and/or fabric stiffeners without compromising operation of the 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.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a base providing a compartment with an opening, a door moveable between open and closed positions and an interface between the base and the door to facilitate movement of the door. The interface may comprise a set of projections on the door to engage a set of guides on the base. The set of projections may comprise a set of extrusions. The door may comprise a substrate and a cover layer; the substrate may be formed by extrusion. The component may comprise at least one of a vehicle trim component, a console, a center console, a floor console, a storage compartment, an arm rest. A method of making a component is also disclosed. The component may comprise a base and a door comprising a cover and a carrier. The carrier may be formed by extruding a polymer material.

A door, in particular a rolling door, comprising a door leaf that can be moved along a track including a deflecting portion between an open position, in which it at least partially exposes a wall opening, and a closed position, in which it at least partially closes the wall opening, which includes at least one bending region that is deformable during the door leaf movement along the deflecting portion and is made of a flexible base material such as polycarbonate, wherein a functional film is laminated onto at least one part of at least one bounding surface of at least one bending region.

A roll-up door including a flexible curtain having a front surface, a back surface, a first end coupled to a shaft, a second end opposite the first end, and first and second side edges extending between the first end and the second end, the flexible curtain being moveable between a retracted position wherein the flexible curtain is coiled around the shaft and a deployed position wherein the flexible curtain is uncoiled from the shaft. A first retention band is mounted along at least a portion of the first side edge of the flexible curtain, the first retention band including an inner surface at least partially facing towards the flexible curtain, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, a fixed edge attached to the flexible curtain generally parallel to the first side edge, and a free edge opposite the fixed edge and movable relative to the fixed edge.
