IMPROVED SAFETY EDGE FOR HORIZONTALLY PIVOTED ROLLING GATES

The invention relates to a safety edge for horizontally pivoted rolling gates actuated by a motor unit. It consists of a profile (11) made of rubber or other soft flexible material and having a base (14) for its application to a rolling date, and of two electrical conductors (15,16) extending longitudinally into the soft profile, parallel and normally separate from one another. The conductors move closer in the presence of a deforming thrust on said profile, to come into contact and enable an electrical circuit to send a signal for stopping the rolling gate motor unit.

SAFETY DEVICE

A safety device for use in detecting an obstruction in a power operated door comprises a signaller arranged to detect an obstruction. The signaller includes a pair of electrodes and the device is arranged so that a quiescent current flows from one electrode to the other. If the signaller is damaged the current is reduced or interrupted. If the signaller is compressed to indicate an obstruction the current is increased. Malfunction of the safety device may thus be detected.

AUTOMATIC OPENING AND CLOSING DEVICE

An automatic opening-and-closing device can be obtained which can prevent a foreign object from being caught in by detecting the foreign object even if an opening/closing speed of a moving body changes or the foreign object is small. An automatic sliding door device 10 detects that there is an foreign object on a locus of sliding of a door panel 14 , by detecting a pushing reaction force when a pressure sensitive sensor 60 pushes the foreign object at the time of forward sliding of the door panel 14 slides forward. Hence, even if the sliding speed of the door panel 14 changes, or even if the foreign object is small, the foreign object can be detected to thereby prevent the foreign object from being caught in the door. Moreover, with the automatic sliding door device 10, a code 80 is passed through inside of the door panel 14 and connected to a lower end portion of the pressure sensitive sensor 60 via a circular hole 110 formed at a lower end portion of the door panel 14. Hence, the detection ...

Safety device for prompt de-activation or switchover of an installation when a dangerous situation occurs

The safety device has a signal transmitter (I) with two transmitter systems (A, B). Only one transmitter system (A) is normally operational; the other becomes operational only if the first is overloaded or defective. The first transmitter system serves to de-activate an installation (6) by means of a switching mechanism, or at least to move it to an operationally safe position, if a dangerous situation occurs in this installation. If this transmitter system (A) fails, the other transmitter system (B) becomes operational and effects the de-activation of the switching mechanism (5) via a first relay (d1). A control device (3) to which both transmitter systems are connected then causes a further relay (d2) to drop out, thereby activating a fault display device (18). In this way, the operational reliability of the safety device can be constantly monitored, and any faults are automatically indicated. Use in machine installations of all types or for sliding gates and doors. ...

The contact elements (2) can be magnetized, an expander chord (5) can pass through them or they can lie on top of each other as a result of their weight, whereby they are subjected to a certain amount of pre-tension.

Safety strips for closing edges

A safety strip for use on moving devices with the danger of pinching has a plurality of contact elements assembled into a row under an axial prestress along the safety strip. Extending in these contact elements are electrically conductive contact pins that, in the off, i.e. non-operate state maintain a circuit through the adjacent contact elements by contact and in the event that the safety strip is deformed through some external force open the circuit through the spatial distance from each other. The axial prestress and control of the individual contact elements is effected by means of an elastic tubing. However, in the present state-of-the-art, such safety strips result in a high material load in the area of the contact zones between the individual contact elements and, in addition, have only a limited maintainability. This problem is overcome by generating the prestress through individual tubing pieces that, in alternating sequence, overlay two contact elements and press the overlapping ...
