Negative-Pressure Smoke-Guiding Fireproof Building Structure

Номер: US20120009864A1
Автор: Fuchang Shen
Принадлежит: Individual

A negative-pressure smoke-guiding fireproof building structure includes at least one vertical smoke discharge flue ( 1 ) arranged in the building and a transverse smoke discharge flue ( 2 ) arranged in upper space of each floor. The vertical smoke discharge flue ( 1 ) is in fluid communication with the transverse smoke discharge flue ( 2 ). At least one natural air inlet window ( 4 ) and at least one smoke-gas discharge window ( 5 ) are arranged in a wall ( 3 - 1 ) of each independent room ( 3 ) of each floor. The natural air inlet window ( 4 ) consists of an air inlet window ( 4 - 1 ), an air inlet window door ( 4 - 2 ) capable of sealing the air inlet window ( 4 - 1 ) in the normal state, and an air inlet window door opening mechanism capable of automatically opening the air inlet window ( 4 - 1 ) at a fire hazard. The smoke-gas discharge window ( 5 ) consists of a smoke discharge window ( 5 - 1 ), a smoke discharge window door ( 5 - 2 ) capable of sealing the smoke discharge window ( 5 - 1 ) in the normal state, and a smoke discharge window door opening mechanism capable of automatically opening the smoke discharge window ( 5 - 1 ) at a fire hazard. The smoke-gas discharge window ( 5 ) is in fluid communication with the transverse smoke discharge flue ( 2 ). With a simple structure, the building structure effectively prevents fire spreading to peripheral adjacent rooms when one room in the building catches fire, so as to prevent a larger fire hazard.

A header assembly for a movable partition includes an overhead track and a header pan. The header pan is configured to extend from the overhead track to an adjoining structure. The header pan, the overhead track, or a combination of both may form a fire-resistant barrier extending from a wall of the adjoining structure to an opposing wall of the adjoining structure. Movable partition systems may include header assemblies. Methods of forming header assemblies include positioning a header pan proximate to an overhead track and extending the header pan between a first wall and a second wall to at least substantially occlude a section of space therebetween. Methods of installing a movable partition include securing an overhead track to an overhead support structure, securing a retainer clip to an adjoining structure, extending a header pan from the overhead track to the retainer clip, and suspending a partition from the track.

A door opener for opening a door having an external surface comprises a screw mounted for rotary motion and a carriage mounted on the screw such that rotation of the screw causes motion of the carriage along the screw. A motor rotates the screw. An actuator arm has a first end and a second end, where the actuator arm is operatively connected to the carriage such that movement of the carriage causes the actuator arm to move between a retracted position where the door is closed and an extended position where the door is open. The first end of the actuator arm is in contact with but not connected to the external surface of the door such that the first end of the actuator arm rides over the external surface of the door.

A roller door system includes one or more sets of rollers configured to mount to a panel frame member on an upper end of a panel, and move through a complementary upper guide. A lower side of the panel frame can also be guided through one or more bottom tracks. These components, when coupled with the resin panel, can provide the ability to provide a smooth gliding motion for the resin panel door. In addition, the frame in which the panel is mounted can be configured with one or more components to accommodate the unique expansion and contraction properties of resin materials, and thus allow a stable, long term mounting solution. The upper guide and the lower track can also be configured with one or more components or mechanisms for pitch adjustment, as well as to adjust for uneven or irregular mounting surfaces.

The door assembly comprises storage spools for storing biasing members biased in a wound position around the storage spools. The door assembly further comprises a main spool for winding a cable and the biasing members. When the door is moved towards an open position, the cable is unwound from the main spool, causing the spool to rotate in a first direction. When the main spool is rotated in the first direction, the biasing members are wound onto the main spool and store energy operable to generate a force to cause the main spool to rotate in a second direction. When the door is released, the energy stored in the biasing members rotates the main spool in the second direction, thereby winding the door cable and providing a sufficient force to move the door towards the closed position.

Door opening and closing device

Номер: US20130031746A1
Автор: Manabu Hasegawa, Masaya Suzuki
Принадлежит: Sugatsune Kogyo Co Ltd

A door opening and closing device can change a damping force of a damper when an arm rotates by opening and closing of a door. On a case 11 of the door opening and closing device 7, the arm 8 is mounted which rotates by opening and closing of the door 2. Inside the case 11, friction generating unit 22 is provided. The friction generating unit 22 has a slider 12 d which moves linearly relative to the case 11 by opening and closing of the door 2 and a fixed part 21 which is fixed to the case 11 to slide the slider 12 d. The friction generating unit 22 generates friction between the slider 12 d and the fixed part 21. In opening and closing of the door 2, a radio of the rotation angle of the arm 8 and the amount of displacement of the slider 12 d is varied.
