Abstract

A clutch assembly for a roller door operator, the clutch assembly providing selective engagement with a drive wheel, the clutch assembly comprising: a rotatable shaft rotatable relative to the drive wheel; a clutch disc supported in a clutch lever and arranged to rotate with the rotatable shaft, the clutch disc and clutch lever configured to rotate relative to one another around the axis of rotation of the shaft; and a clutch cam supported in a clutch base, the clutch base configured to permit operative rotation of the clutch cam around the axis of rotation of the shaft in a first direction; wherein the clutch lever is operatively associated with the clutch cam so that rotational movement of the clutch lever in a second direction opposite to the first direction actuates movement of the clutch disc and the clutch lever axially along the rotatable shaft to engage or disengage the clutch disc with the drive wheel, and subsequent rotational movement of the clutch lever in the first direction actuates rotational movement of the clutch cam relative to the clutch base in the first direction.

Abstract

The invention relates to a latching closure drive assembly for use with a closure such as a door, gate, shutter or barrier. In particular, the invention relates to an assembly comprising a closure drive trolley for travel along a track, having an onboard latch movable between a deployed position and a release position, to lock the trolley to the track. In one embodiment, the trolley is driven by a longitudinal drive means (such as a chain or belt, driven by a motor) which engages with the trolley, the assembly including a latch release mechanism that moves the onboard latch into the release position when the longitudinal drive means is operated to move the trolley from its locking position. The trolley includes a trolley body and a separate slider body confined in a bore within the trolley body and arranged for longitudinal movement relative thereto, the longitudinal drive means being arranged for connection to the slider body. The trolley body and the slider body are mutually engaged in such a way that the relative movement between the two acts to move the onboard latch into the release position.

Abstract

A system for a closure lock comprises a battery-powered remote module with a lock mechanism for operating the lock, the remote module communicating with a base station coupled to a closure controller, the base station able to send lock control signals to the remote module to operate the lock. The module is arranged to have an operation mode and a non-operation mode, power consumption in the non-operation mode being lower than that in the operation mode, and is further configured to switch between the modes based on instructions from the base station. In the non-operation mode, the module maintains a communication link with the base station based on a pre-established synchronisation protocol. The invention provides reliability against interference between base station and remote module, whilst greatly limiting the power consumption of the remote module.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for driving a moveable closure, such as a garage door. In an initialisation process in a setup mode for the door operator for driving a moveable closure between open and closed positions, the apparatus allows selection of opening and/or closing speeds for the closure from a plurality of predefined stored driving speeds. This selection, or the range of stored driving speeds available for selection, is made in accordance with the type of closure to be driven, and this may be established automatically by detecting certain characteristics of movement of the closure as part of the initialisation process.
