Disclosed is an access control apparatus according to the present invention. The access control apparatus includes: a body located on a passage; an opening and closing part coupled to the body and having a multi-stepped door adapted to open and close the passage through a translational motion; and a driving part coupled to the body and the opening and closing part to control an operation of the opening and closing part, wherein the driving part has a linear motor and the multi-stepped door includes a first door driven by means of the linear motor and a second door coupled to the first door in such a manner as to be interlocked with the first door.

A device for the sliding movement of doors and wardrobe doors (12) provided with at least two doors (14,16) or (62, 64, 66) sliding so as to move along respective and parallel guides (18) and (18) fixed near the front edge of the upper base (20, 60) of said wardrobe, comprising: at least one pair of carriages (22), provided with at least one wheel or roller (32), fixed to the inner front of each door (14) and (16) at or near the respective upper edge; a plate-like element (22) for the direct attachment of at least one of the carriages (22) to the doors (14) or (16); at least one frame with an inverted U cross-section (46), and/or (46) supporting a wheel or roller (32); opposite air pistons (24) fixed to the end of the guides (18) along which the wheels or rollers (32) of the carriages (22) slide for the cushioned stop at the end stroke upon closing and opening of said carriages, and thus of the doors (14) and (16). Said device comprises a support (30) housing a piston (40) surmounted by an integral pincer or elastic clamp (44), said support (30) is fixed to at least one of the frames with an inverted U cross-section (46) or (46).

A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.

A telescoping door system includes a header that spans across a doorway. A trailing jamb and a lead jamb disposed a clear opening distance from the trailing jamb defines a clear opening of the doorway. A sidelite panel is coupled to the trailing jamb by at least one swing clear hinge; the swing clear hinge comprises a fixed gear portion intermeshed with a revolving gear portion. A slow slide panel and a fast slide panel move linearly within the header. The slow and fast slide panels are configured to create a first-sized opening when positioned in the header. The sidelite panel, the slow slide panel, and the fast slide panel are configured to pivot out of the header in a breakout position such that a trailing rail of the sidelite panel is disposed at least partially outside the clear opening and in front of the trailing jamb.

A multi-panel shower door assembly includes door panels supported near the top ends of the door panels for sliding movement relative to one another within a door frame. The door panels are supported such that bottom ends of the door panels are spaced above the bottom wall of a sill member to define an unobstructed free space between the bottom wall and the bottom ends of door panels. The sill member includes a sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom wall and an elongate, downwardly opening channel extending along an upper edge of the sidewall. A first rail member near the bottom end of the first door panel has an upwardly extending lip configured to be received in the channel to facilitate sliding movement of the door panels while inhibiting tilting movement of the door panels.

A guide pin support system may include: a first support plate; a second support plate pivotally attached to the first support plate; a first guide pin supported by the first support plate; a second guide pin supported by the second support plate and the second guide pin pivotable with respect to the first guide pin.

A glass panel system comprising an upper and lower guide track and at least two adjacent glass panels which are movable along the lower and upper guide tracks. The lower guide track is configured to support at least two glass panels. The upper guide track comprises two opposite side walls, an elongated groove and a free space formed between the two side walls. One of the glass panels leans against both the side walls by one guide element and against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by another guide element. One of the glass panels leans, on one hand, against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by one guide element and, on the other hand, against the other side wall and against another glass panel by another guide element. The guide elements are arranged in the free space.

A movement device for the sliding movement of furniture and wardrobe doors having inner and outer doors which slide along parallel tracks/guides. The movement device includes inner and outer pairs of carriages each having a roller. The carriages are fixed to the inner front of each door. A plate directly attaches each inner carriage to the inner door. A frame with an inverted U cross-section attaches each outer carriage to the outer door. Air pistons are fixed proximate the ends of the guides, along which the rollers of the carriages slide for the cushioned stop at the end stroke of moving the carriages when opening and closing the doors. The mounting device includes a support member housing a second piston which is surmounted by an elastic clamp. The clamp selectively interfaces with an aligned wedge extending from a carriage from the other door to prevent abutment between door handles.
