OPERATOR GOVERNOR RELEASE FOR FIRE SHUTTERS

In example implementations, an adjustable speed operator governor release for a rolling fire shutter is provided. The adjustable speed operator governor release includes a shaft coupled to the rolling fire shutter, a gear on a first end of the shaft to engage a spring-loaded clutch during a fire, wherein the spring-loaded clutch is moved to disengage from a drive assembly and to engage the gear of the adjustable speed governor to operate the rolling fire shutter, and a linear speed adjusting mechanism coupled to the shaft and the gear to control a speed of free fall of the rolling fire shutter during the fire.

Safety brake for vertical lifting doors

A vertical door system includes a safety brake that is engaged when the vertical door system fails. The safety brake includes a panel with a slanted channel and a pin slidably disposed in the slanted channel. The panel may be coupled to a counterweight that keeps the pin from engaging with stops in a track when the safety brake is disengaged. When the panel is uncoupled from the counterweight, the safety brake engages and the pin may slide in the channel to allow contact between a portion of the pin and one of the stops in the track to inhibit movement of a door.
