Patent

CA 2317614

An overhead door (10) includes a plurality of panels (14) pivotally connected to one another with the mating upper and lower edges (16, 18) of the adjacent panels (14) providing a pinch-resistant configuration during articulation of the overhead door (10). Additionally, the installation and assembly of the door (10) is more easily and efficiently accomplished because of first and second contact locations (56, 58) between the mating upper and lower edges (16, 18) of the panels (14) and the configuration of those contact locations (56, 58) provides registration or alignment of the panels (14) relative to one another during installation. Additionally, the hinge assembly (20) includes a pivot axis (76) which is positioned between the front and back faces (44, 24) of the panel (14) to enhance the pinch-resistant operation of the door (10) and the installation of the hinge (20) is easily accomplished with a reduced number of parts because of cooperating keyhole slots (84, 88) and key (94) on the pivot pin (76) of the hinge (20).

Une porte basculante (10) est constituée de plusieurs panneaux (14) reliés pivotants les uns aux autres, les bords (16,18) supérieurs et inférieurs associés des panneaux adjacents (14) présentant une configuration anti-pincement pendant l'articulation de la porte basculante (10). L'installation et le montage de la porte (10) peut en outre s'effectuer plus facilement et plus efficacement étant donné que les premier et deuxième endroits (56,58) de contact entre les bords (16,18) supérieurs et inférieurs des panneaux (14) et que la configuration de ces endroits (56,58) de contacts assurent le repérage ou l'alignement des panneaux (14) les uns par rapport aux autres pendant l'installation. L'ensemble charnière (20) comprend en outre un axe (76) de pivotement qui est positionné entre les faces (44,24) avant et arrière du panneau (14) pour améliorer le fonctionnement anti-pincement de la porte (10), et l'installation de la charnière (20) peut s'effectuer facilement avec un nombre réduit d'éléments étant donné qu'on a prévu des trous piriformes (84,88) associés et une clé (94) prévue sur le pivot (76) de la charnière (20).
