Description

The The present invention relates to a gate for a garage. the door being a displaceable door leaf and a fixed guide means having.

The The invention further relates to a garage with such a gate.

Gates for a garage are known from the state of the art in great variety. It is merely an example of the DE 88 025 13 U directed. Most of the prior art known in the art is concerned with either mechanical or electromotive solutions that make it easier for a user to open or close a garage door.

It is also a printed matter DE 88 025 12 U It is known how to apply an electrical cable to the door leaf without hindering the opening or closing of the door. This task is technically demanding because a permanent electrical connection between two relatively movable objects must be made in a secure manner.

In In practice, however, other solutions have claimed that to an electrical connection between the garage body and dispense with the movable door leaf. It is to be supposed that the cost / benefit balance between a moving electrical Solution and a stationary solution, z. As contacts in the bottom of the garage body, or a mechanical Actuator with an electrical element on the garage body cooperates, for stationary solutions spoke. Therefore, nowadays any electrical system on the garage body arranged to provide electrical connection to the movable door leaf to avoid.
