A door apparatus for closing an access opening and to a parking apparatus equipped therewith. The door apparatus has two vertically aligned guide rails and an inner and an outer door element which are each movably mounted in/on a vertically aligned inner or outer guide of the guide rails. In a closed position, the inner door element is arranged in a first region of the access opening which is situated lower than a second region in which the outer door element is arranged. In an open position, the inner and the outer door element are arranged in a third region of the access opening which is situated higher than the first and the second region. Furthermore, the door apparatus has a locking element and a coupling element.

A stacking panel covering for an architectural opening includes a headrail and a plurality of suspended from the headrail. The panels form an overlapped stack at one end of the headrail when the stacking panel covering is opened, and cover the architectural opening when the stacking panel covering is closed. The panels are piggybacked on those adjacent thereto, so that they stack, one behind the next, when the stacking panel covering is opened, and so that each pulls the next adjacent thereto as the stacking panel covering is being closed. The panels themselves may be planar, or convexly curved in a horizontal direction and substantially straight in a vertical direction.

The invention is an arrangement for moving fenestration panels, comprising fenestration panels (12a-12d) each having two guiding elements protruding respect to each of opposite guide sides, and two track constructions (5) having identical paths, each adapted oppositely arranged for guiding the two guiding elements.

In the arrangement the track constructions (5) are adapted to be arranged in a lower and upper structure portion, comprising first, second and third main track element (10a-10c) adapted to be arranged beside each other, and connector track elements (26a′-32b″) adapted for interconnecting the first and second main track element (10a, 10b), and the second and third main track element (10b, 10c), a track element-connecting pair (32a, 32b) of them is configured being suitable for separated transferring of the guiding elements of each fenestration panels (12a-12d) between the main track elements (10a-10c).

A sliding door assembly includes a door frame with a top trim member, a bottom sill, and side jambs connected between the top trim member and the bottom sill, and a primary sliding panel secured in the door frame. The top trim member includes a track configured to support a weight of the primary sliding panel and prevent the primary sliding panel from coming off the track. Other features include an interlock mechanism to limit relative movement using multiple sliding doors and a brake mechanism to secure the doors in position when the door handle is released. A drop window includes features to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances and box frame assemblies that are out of square.

An indexing multi-panel door includes a leading door panel supported on a first track and moveable between open and closed positions, a trailing door panel supported on a second track and moveable between open and closed positions, a motion control track mounted to one of the door panels, a follower mounted to the other one of the door panels, the follower including a first distal end received within the motion control track, the motion control track including features to frictionally engage the first distal end, wherein when the leading door is moved between the open and closed positions, engagement between the first distal end and the features moves the trailing door panel along with the leading door panel, and allows slippage, wherein the leading and trailing door panels move relative to one another as the leading and trailing door panels are moved between the open and closed positions.

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 indexing multi-panel door includes a leading door panel supported on a first track and moveable between open and closed positions, a trailing door panel supported on a second track and moveable between open and closed positions, a motion control track mounted to one of the door panels, a follower mounted to the other one of the door panels, the follower including a first distal end received within the motion control track, the motion control track including features to frictionally engage the first distal end, wherein when the leading door is moved between the open and closed positions, engagement between the first distal end and the features moves the trailing door panel along with the leading door panel, and allows slippage, wherein the leading and trailing door panels move relative to one another as the leading and trailing door panels are moved between the open and closed positions.

The present disclosure relates to a hinged door for utilizing space. The hinged door includes a hinge installed at one side of an opening of a structure; a door of which one end is connected to the hinge to open and close the opening in a hinged manner, and configured to be divided into a plurality of unit panels, each unit panel connected slidably to an adjacent unit panel in an opening/closing direction to stretch/retract in the opening/closing direction; and a connection link of which a first hinge axis of one end is connected to the structure and of which a second hinge axis of the other end is connected to the unit panel of a distal end, of the plurality of unit panels, so that a length of the door is stretched/retracted in the process of hinge opening/closing the door, thereby providing a hinged door for utilizing space.
