Abstract

A sliding door mechanism controls a door 10 in the form of a series of horizontal slats articulated to the slats above and below to move from a closed position in a vertical plane, along between tracks 14, until open. The door is moved by cables winding on or off a cable drum 12 driven through a drive belt 16 by an electric motor 18. The motor is on a carriage mounted at 30 to allow the drive belt to be slackened to remove drive from the drum 12.

Control circuits 20 for the apparatus are described.

Claims (10)

1. An aperture closure member control arrangement comprising drive means operable to drive the closure member, and control means operable to count number of times the arrangement has been operated to open or close the aperture closure member and to modify operation in accordance with the count.
2. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the drive means provides fast and slow modes for closing the closure member, the control means inhibiting fast closure after a predetermined numbers of counts has been reached.
3. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein closure is effected by a manual operation which is required to be more complex after a predetermined number of counts has been reached.
4. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the control means may be responsive to a reset sequence of manual operations to reverse the said modification to operation.
5. An arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the control means effects a count of operations to determine when maintenance of the arrangement is required, the control means providing a signal detectable by a user after maintenance has been determined to be required.
6. An aperture closure member control arrangement comprising drive means operable to drive the closure member by means of a rotating drive member and a drive belt, the drive means being mounted on a carriage movable to bring the drive member and belt into and out of engagement, the carriage having a mounting that allows free movement of the carriage during use of the arrangement, and there being control means which are manually operable to pull the carriage to a first position in which the drive member and belt are in engagement and to hold the carriage in said first position, or to release the carriage member to move to a second position in which the drive member and belt are out of engagement and the drive member is prevented from driving the drive belt.
7. An aperture closure member control arrangement comprising drive means operable to drive the closure member, and monitoring means operable to monitor variations in the load on the drive means, the monitoring means comprising signal generating means operable to provide first and second signals which vary in response to variations in the load, comparison means operable to compare the first and second signals, and time constant means operable to provide time constants which govern the responses of the signal generating means, the time constant means causing the second signal to be governed by a longer time constant than the first to cause the comparison result to vary in accordance with the rate of change of the load, and wherein limit means are provided to prevent the second signal passing a preset value.
8. An arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the limit means provides an upper limit for the second signal.
9. An arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the second signal is provided to the comparison means at a point connected to the potential divider tap by means of a diode, whereby the second signal is prevented from passing the voltage at the tap by more than the forward bias voltage of the diode.
10. An arrangement according to claim 9, wherein at least one component of the potential divider is adjustable to allow the preset value to be changed.
