Telescoping door with swing clear breakout hinge

A telescoping door system, comprising:

• a header spanning across a doorway having a clear opening defined by a trailing jamb and a lead jamb disposed a clear opening distance from the trailing jamb, the trailing jamb including a face facing the lead jamb;
• a sidelite panel coupled to the trailing jamb by at least one swing clear hinge, the at least one swing clear hinge comprising a fixed gear portion intermeshed with a revolving gear portion, the fixed gear portion being offset away from the lead jamb with regard to the face of the trailing jamb;
• a second slide panel operable to move linearly along the header;
• and
• a first slide panel operable to move linearly along the header, the second and first slide panels configured to create a first-sized opening when positioned in the header such that a trailing end of each of the first and second slide panels is disposed closest to the trailing jamb;
• wherein the sidelite panel, the second slide panel, and the first slide panel are configured to pivot out of the header in a breakout position creating a second-sized opening.

A door system, comprising:

• a header spanning across a doorway having a clear opening defined by a trailing jamb and a lead jamb disposed a clear opening distance from the trailing jamb, the trailing jamb having a face oriented toward the lead jamb;
• a sidelite panel coupled to the trailing jamb by at least one swing clear hinge, the at least one swing clear hinge comprising a fixed gear portion intermeshed with a revolving gear portion, wherein a portion of the face of the trailing jamb nearest the swing clear hinge defines a reference plane and both the fixed gear portion and the revolving gear portion are disposed entirely on a side of the reference plane opposite the lead jamb;
• a slide panel operable to move linearly along the header to create a first-sized opening when positioned in the header such that a trailing end of the slide panel is disposed closest to the trailing jamb;
• and
• wherein the sidelite panel and the slide panel are configured to pivot out of the header in a breakout position creating a second-sized opening.
