An articulated attachment assembly and a rail system and method of installation for rail installations in which there is an elevational change between vertical supports, in which the articulated attachment assembly eliminates the need for field mitering of components and provides instead a first articulated hinge assembly having a first mounting block to be attached to the first support, a second mounting block to be attached to the first rail connection block, and a hinge member to couple the second mounting block to the first mounting block and enable the second mounting block, the first rail connection block, and the rail to pivot together relative to the first mounting block and the first support.

A passage gate for allowing or preventing people to enter or to exit a passage area comprising a base portion (110) and a panel portion (120) is provided. The passage gate (100) is configured to be driven in a first operation mode and a second operation mode. When the passage gate (100) is driven in the first operation mode the panel portion (120) is slidable relative the base portion (110) between a first open position, allowing people to pass, and a closed position preventing people from passing through the passage gate (100). When the passage gate (100) is driven in the second operation mode the base portion (110) is rotatable between the closed position and a second open position for achieving a larger passage area.

The present invention concerns a motorized door for closing an area (3) at least partially defined by a frame, said Motorized door comprising: (A) a motorized driving mechanism (10) for moving a shutter between an open position (z=1) and a closed position (z=0) in a first direction (α) to close said area defined within said frame and in a second direction (β) to open said area; (B) a detection cell (5, 6) suitable for detecting an accidental event (eI), during the motion of the shutter. The motorized door further comprises a processing unit programmed to trigger a wind related safety function avoiding the yo-yo effect in case strong winds triggered the erroneous detection of an accidental event by the detection cell, said wind related safety function comprising the following steps: (C) a processing unit (CPU): (a) stop the movement of the shutter in the first direction (α), and reverse said movement into the second direction (β) and, after a brief reverse time, Δt, of the order of 0.8 to 3.0 s, (b) stop said movement in the second direction (β) and reverse the movement back into the first direction (α) towards the closed position (z=0) of the shutter.

The present invention concerns an auto-close door for closing an area (3) at least partially defined by a frame, said auto-close door comprising: A) A motorized driving mechanism (10) suitable for moving a leading edge (1L) of a shutter (1) in a first direction (a) to close said area defined within said frame and in a second direction (β) to open said area; B) Wave detection cells (5) suitable for detecting the presence of an obstacle within the area defined by the frame; and/or C) In addition or alternatively, an impact detector (6) suitable for detecting an impacting event with a leading edge of the shutter, D) A processing unit (CPU) programmed to carry out the following operations: a) Upon opening the area a first time by moving the leading edge of the shutter in said second direction (β), maintain the area open for an opening time (t1), after which b) close the shutter, c) Record whether an obstacle and/or an impacting event is detected by the wave detector or the impact detector, upon closing the shutter; d) Count the number (n), of obstacles and/or impacting events detected during a number (N), of repetitions of the cycle defined by steps (a) to (c), and if n/N>v.sub.ref,1, wherein, v.sub.ref,1, is a first control ratio, then the opening time (t1), is prolonged to a time, t2=t1+Δt2, wherein Δt2>0; (e) Repeat steps (a) to (d) with the values t1 or t2 determined in step (d).

A sliding door system for inline closure of an opening in the wall of a structure, which may be a building or an item of furniture, for example, that includes a door panel, a guiderail assembly, and a guiderail coupled to the wall mount via a plurality of doubled-hinge assemblies that together serve to allow the guiderail to pivot towards and away from the wall, and includes a stop on the guiderail that serves as a catch, or cam, that causes a closing force on the door panel to be transferred to the double-hinge assemblies and to cause the door panel to be pulled into inline closure in the opening.

Roller assemblies for hanging panels are disclosed herein. Roller assemblies according to the present disclosure are configured to support a hanging panel and include an elongate rail configured to be mounted on a surface. The roller assembly includes a trolley assembly, which includes a bearing assembly configured to translate the trolley assembly along the elongate rail and a bracket coupled to the bearing assembly and configured to be coupled to the hanging panel. The elongate rail includes a rail adjustment system configured to facilitate adjusting a position and/or an orientation of the elongate rail with respect to the surface. The rail adjustment system is concealed in a rail-assembled configuration, and includes at least two spaced-apart rail adjustment mechanisms.

An optoelectronic component includes a carrier, and a light source arranged on a surface of the carrier, said light source including at least one luminous surface formed by at least one light-emitting diode, wherein a transparent converter-free spacer is arranged on the luminous surface such that a distance is formed between the luminous surface and a spacer surface of the spacer facing away from the luminous surface, and wherein the light source is potted by a potting compound such that the spacer surface is formed extending flush with a potting compound surface facing away from the surface of the carrier and a surface formed by a spacer surface and the potting compound surface is plane.

A displaceable hinge unit is provided. The displaceable hinge unit includes: an outer frame having an insertion groove formed on a longitudinal center portion of a first lateral surface thereof; a shaft rotatably disposed in the outer frame by passing through the insertion groove of the outer frame, and having a screw thread formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof located in the insertion groove; and an inner frame having a screw thread that is formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof and is engaged with the screw thread of the shaft, and configured to form translational motion in the insertion groove by means of rotation of the shaft.
