Abstract

The disclosure is directed to motorized closure assembly, comprising: an opening frame configured to fit around the opening; a substantially rectangular closure slab having a closure slab frame configured to surround the substantially rectangular closure slab and sealingly fit within the opening frame; and a motorized driver, wherein the motorized driver is entirely embedded within the closure slab frame or within a combination of the closure slab frame and the opening frame, the motorized driver configured to slidably move the slab between an open position and a closed position.

Claims (24)

1. A drivetrain for a motorized closure assembly, comprising:

a. a leveling assembly, wherein the leveling assembly comprises a height adjustment wedge having a beveled anterior end; and

b. a mobilizing assembly, wherein the mobilizing assembly comprises:

i. a driver;

ii. a gear box coupled to the driver;

iii. a track wheel coupled to the gear box, the track wheel engages a rail disposed on an opening frame;

iv. a slanted posterior end, wherein the slanted posterior end is slidably couple to the beveled anterior end of the leveling assembly; and

v. optionally, a clutch coupled to the gear box.

2. The drivetrain of claim 1 , wherein the drivetrain is embedded within a frame of a substantially rectangular closure slab surrounded by a closure slab frame.

3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein the substantially rectangular closure slab comprises: an inner pane; and an outer pane.

4. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein each of the inner pane and outer pane comprise a pane frame.

5. The assembly of claim 4 , wherein the pane frame of the inner pane, the pane frame of the outer pane, or both comprises a first dedicated drivetrain and a second dedicated drivetrain disposed on opposite horizontal ends of the pane inner pane frame, the outer pane frame, or both.

6. The drivetrain of claim 2 , wherein the leveling assembly further comprises: a pad lock base; a pad lock bracket operably coupled to the pad lock base, and a pad lock screw having a longitudinal axis, operably coupled to the pad lock bracket and to the height adjustment wedge.

7. The drivetrain of claim 6 , wherein the pad lock screw comprises a distal end having channels etched thereto in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pad lock screw, configured to fit within a complimentary groove in the height adjustment wedge opposite the anterior beveled end.

8. The drivetrain of claim 7 , wherein the pad lock base is operably coupled to the closure slab frame.

9. The drivetrain of claim 2 , wherein the mobilizing assembly further comprises:

a. a drivetrain assembly base having a proximal end;

b. a driver connector base coupled to a drivetrain assembly base and the driver;

c. a driver flange extending from the drivetrain assembly base, hingedly coupled to a rear axle base; and

d. a rear axle base, wherein the rear axle base is operably coupled to the closure slab frame.

10. The drivetrain of claim 9 , wherein the hingedly coupled driver flange is configured to allow the proximal end of the drivetrain assembly base to vertically move the closure slab frame between about 1 and 5 mm.

11. The drivetrain of claim 2 , wherein the closure slab frame further comprises a second drivetrain embedded within the frame, the second drive train comprising a leveling assembly and mobilizing assembly.

12. The assembly of claim 11 , wherein each of the mobilizing assembly of a first drivetrain and the second drivetrain is hingedly coupled to the slab frame.

13. The drivetrain of claim 1 wherein the gearbox comprises: a beveled gear; and at least one spur gear, wherein the at least one spur gear is operably coupled to the track wheel.
