A door drive mechanism includes a main drive and an auxiliary drive.

In this connection it is provided that the drive assembly of the auxiliary drive is formed as a drive assembly with a linear output and that the drive assembly of the auxiliary drive is borne in a pivot bearing and that the rod system is formed as a slide arm and the rod system bearing is formed as a slide rail.

A door drive mechanism includes a main drive and an auxiliary drive.

In this connection it is provided that the components of the main drive and of the auxiliary drive to be mounted on the door leaf side are borne in or on a common and/or continuous housing mechanism and/or bearing framework mechanism and/or mounting plate mechanism to be mounted on the door leaf side and/or are covered by a common and/or continuous cover to be mounted on the door leaf side.

A door closer assembly for an entryway device having a position sensor that assists in determining the location of the door closer assembly, and thus the location of the associated entryway device, relative to at least an entryway. The position sensor can be coupled to, and/or part of, the door closer assembly. Information obtained by the position sensor may be used by one or processing devices of an access control system to determine whether the door closer assembly and/or the entryway device is at the closed location, among other locations, as well as the direction(s) of displacement of the entryway device. Such information may be utilized in calibrating other devices, as well as determining the occurrence of a number of events, including unauthorized displacement or holding of the entryway device. A timer may also be utilized to further evaluate the nature of the displacement of the entryway device.

A door actuator linkage includes a lever extending along a longitudinal axis, which merges into a linkage head with an offset, wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft of a door actuator, wherein a free space for cable routing is formed by the offset. The free space is delimited by the linkage head and by an offset surface of the lever, wherein the lever protrudes up to an imaginary boundary surface, which is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The offset surface is withdrawn partially from this boundary surface in order to expand the free space.

A driving device for a door opener includes a motor driving a first transmission member to rotate. Rotation of the first transmission member causes lateral displacement of a sliding member which moves jointly with a connecting rod. A return spring is mounted around the connecting rod. An adjusting ring is in threading connection with the connecting rod and abuts against the return spring. When the first transmission member does not rotate, rotation of the adjusting ring causes displacement of the adjusting ring in the lateral direction to change an extent of pre-compression of the return spring. When the first transmission member rotates in a direction, the connecting rod and the adjusting ring together move in the lateral direction towards the first transmission member, and the return spring is compressed. When the first transmission member rotates in a reverse direction, and the return spring restores its length.

An exemplary housing assembly is configured for use with a door operator. The housing assembly generally includes a bracket configured for mounting to the door operator, a case configured to at least partially enclose the door operator, and an attachment mechanism configured to selectively couple the bracket with the case. In certain forms, the attachment mechanism includes a resilient clip arm formed on one of the bracket or the case, and a tang formed on the other of the bracket or the case. The resilient clip arm is configured to engage the tang to maintain engagement between the bracket and the case.

A method for mounting a door drive including a door actuator with a mounting section for the attachment to a counter-mounting section of a door, an attachment device for the attachment to a counter-attachment section of the door and a lever mechanism with a first end and with a second end, for the mobile support of the door actuator at the attachment device between a closing position and an opening position, where the attachment device is disposed at the first end of the lever mechanism and an axle assembly of the door actuator at a second end of the lever mechanism, and with an actuating unit of the door actuator for moving the axle assembly of the door actuator.

The aim of the invention is to achieve a door closer arrangement (1) where the force needed for opening the door (2) is not so substantial. The invention comprises a door closer (6), a slide rail (7), and an arm (8) that connects the door closer with the slide rail. The arrangement comprises also a second rail (9), which is arranged to form a slide slope for the door closer (6) and the auxiliary spring arrangement.

An exemplary armature assembly is configured for use with a door control mounted to one of a door or a doorframe. The door control includes a rotatable pinion, and the armature assembly includes an armature, a shoe, and an elastic component. The armature has a first end and an opposite second end, and the first end includes an opening sized and shaped to receive the pinion at a first interface. The shoe is configured for mounting to the other of the door or the doorframe, and the second end of the armature is pivotally connected to the shoe at a second interface. In certain forms, the elastic component coupled with the armature and configured to absorb mechanical shocks at one of the first interface or the second interface. In certain forms, the elastic component is configured to absorb mechanical shocks along the length of the armature.

An example door closer includes a casing and a pinion rotatably mounted to the casing. The pinion is operable to rotate through a plurality of movement zones, and the door closer is configured to exert forces on the pinion as the pinion moves through the plurality of movement zones. The door closer further includes a plurality of adjustment mechanisms, each operable to adjust the force exerted on the pinion as the pinion travels through a corresponding movement zone. The casing is provided with indicia that correlate each of the adjustment mechanisms to the corresponding movement zone.
