A system for powering a sliding gate including a solar power assembly with a solar panel in electronic communication with a device for regulating voltage and a high-capacity battery electronically connected to the device for regulating voltage, and a safety edge with a sensor wherein the safety edge is configured to receive power independently from both the device for regulating voltage and the high-capacity battery.

A barrier for use with a gate assembly includes a quadrilateral frame comprising top and bottom horizontal members and first and second vertical members, a horizontal gate beam extending longitudinally from a buttress end to a latch end, the gate beam constructed of a W-beam having a web oriented horizontally and extending laterally between first and second flanges, a first stop connected to the buttress end and extending perpendicular to the first and second flanges, a first latch connected to the latch end, the first latch forming a hook comprising a shank extending longitudinally from the latch end, a point located opposite the shank, a gap between the point and the shank, and an opening between the point and the latch end, and the gate beam connected to the frame between the top and bottom horizontal members.

A ground assembly for movable member includes an electrical ground connection that does not interfere with the movement and operation of the movable member. The movable member can be a sliding member, such as a sliding barrier, gate or closure member. In one embodiment, the ground assembly includes an electrical connector that moves relative to a fixed electrical grounding member. The electrical connector is fixed to the movable member and movable relative to the grounding member. The electrical connector moves along a length of the grounding member while maintaining contact with the electrical grounding member to provide a continuous grounding connection during movement of the movable member. In one embodiment, the fixed electrical grounding member is oriented with a longitudinal length parallel to the direction of movement of the movable member where the electrical connector of the movable member moves or slides along the length of the fixed electrical grounding member. In another embodiment, the electrical connector is fixed to the grounding member and the movable member includes a surface that slides in contact with the electrical connector by movement of the movable member relative to the grounding member.

System for detecting the movement conditions of the leaf (2) closing a barrier, this leaf being able to occlude a delimited opening or passage and in which the leaf itself is moved by a motor (5) whose rotation shaft (R1) is associated with a motion transmission mechanism to this leaf. On said motor is present a first device for measuring the rotation of said rotation shaft (R1), and at least a second measuring device is associated with at least a second rotation shaft (R2), said second rotation shaft being connected to the first shaft by means of a reduction gear (8), whose reduction ratio is non-integer.

A door assembly for an animal enclosure includes a door frame and a door each having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. The door frame defines an opening for an animal to pass therethrough, and the door is slidably coupled to the door frame such that it moves between an open position and a closed position relative to the door frame to allow egress and ingress through the opening. A catch member is coupled to the door frame. A latch includes a base member, a bolt, and a lever portion. A first vertical wire and a second vertical wire of the door are spaced from one another such that the first vertical wire is at a first end of the door and the second vertical wire is at a second end of the door. In the closed position, the bolt is coupled to the first vertical wire.

A gate opener assembly is comprised of a gate and an anchor assembly having a platform. A plurality of track assemblies on the platform provide a track on which the gate may slide from a first position (closed) to a second position (open) and any position in between. A guidepost having a “Shepherd's hook” configuration guides the gate as the gate passes therethrough. A pair of rollers within the interior of the top of the guidepost makes continuous contact with each side of the top of the gate both while the gate is stationary and in motion. A gate opener controller contains the required electrical connections to fully the operate gate opener assembly. Subterrain anchor supports provide the necessary support for the gate opener assembly. An alternative embodiment accommodates nontraditional configured gates. Installation of the gate opener assembly is performed by do-it-yourselfers in minimal time.

A door for allowing access to an interior space of a housing, one end of the housing is sealed with a cover having a plurality of cover components, the door comprising: a sun gear comprising a rotational axis, the sun gear is attached to the housing; a ring having a central axis coaxially disposed with the rotational axis of the sun gear; and a plurality of planetary gears evenly distributed about the central axis of the ring, each the planetary gear comprising a rotational axis and rotationally coupled to the ring and the sun gear, wherein the rotational axis of each the planetary gear is disposed parallel to the central axis of the ring, wherein each of the cover components is configured to be attached to one of the plurality of planetary gears and when the ring is rotated with respect to the housing, the plurality of cover components separate.

An access control device (1) for blocking or opening a passage (2) for persons or vehicles. The access control device comprises one or two blocking bodies (3, 3′), each arranged on a carrier (4, 4′). Each blocking body (3, 3′) comprises a mechanically reversibly deformable element (5, 5′) which, in a first position, is substantially planar and opens the passage (2) and, in a second position, assumes a curved shape which blocks the passage (2). One or both ends of the deformable element (5, 5′) are connected to an actuator (7). A controller controls the deformable element for transferring them first between the first and second positions. When transferring the deformable element from the first to the second position, either the distance between the ends of the respective blocking body is reduced or, when the ends have a constant distance, the length of the blocking body is increased.
