A door actuation system may include an actuation device to move a first door leaf and a second door leaf between an open and a closed position. The actuation device may provide an open preload force in the open position. The actuation device may provide a closed preload force in the closed position. The system may include one or more of: a first engagement member that may contact the actuation device and may allow movement of the actuation device to adjust the open and closed preload force; or the actuation device may be coupled with the first door leaf by a first rod and the second door leaf by a second rod, at least one of the first or second rod may adjust a length of the first or second rod to maintain the open preload force in the open position and the closed preload force in the closed position.

Door actuation system and method

A sealing assembly for sealing a gap between a swing door and a floor comprises a sealing member installed to be able to rotate from a closed position to an open position, an elastically deforming member made of an elastomer composition engaged to the sealing member, and a seal driving member to rotate the sealing member from the closed position to the open position when the door is opened. The elastically deforming member is deformed when the sealing member rotates from the closed position to the open position, and the sealing member returns from the open position to the closed position by elastic force of the elastically deforming member when the door is closed.

A locking mechanism () for use with a pneumatic cylinder/differential engine for a power-operated door including a locking rod (), a plunger () associated with the locking rod () to cause extension and retraction of the locking rod () with respect to a door opening/closing gear (), and a spring member () associated with the plunger () for maintaining the plunger () and the locking rod () in an extended position during a door closed position. An aperture () is located through a sidewall portion of the gear hub () which is capable of receiving an end () of the locking rod () when the locking rod is in an extended position to lock the door in a door closed position. The invention also includes an emergency door opening mechanism enabling manual opening of the doors in case of an emergency.
