Abstract

Door operator systems are described herein that include the use of an adaptor. It should be understood that the adaptor may be utilized in order to operatively couple separate door operator assemblies together in a double door operator system. The adaptor may include control components (e.g., switches, buttons, toggles, levers, or the like) that are used to turn the door operator system on and off. While the adaptor may be used to operatively couple two separate door operator assemblies together to form a double door operator system, the adaptor may also be used within a single door operator system. Furthermore, with respect to double door operator systems, the system may also utilize a back plate assembly comprising two or more separate back plates (e.g., two or more back plate portions).

Claims16

Dependent claims

An adaptor configured to be used with a single door operator system that opens or closes a single swinging door or with a double door operator system that opens or closes a first swinging door and a second swinging door, the adaptor comprising:

a first face surface;
a second face surface;
a front face surface operatively coupling the first face surface and the second face surface;
and
one or more control components operatively coupled to one or more of the first face surface, the second face surface, or the front face surface, wherein the one or more control components are configured to activate or deactivate one or more operator assemblies;
wherein the adaptor is configured to be operatively coupled to either end of a single door housing and an end cap of the single door operator system or configured to be operatively coupled between a first housing of a first operator assembly and a second housing of a second operator assembly of the double door operator system to join the first operator assembly and the second operator assembly;
and
wherein the first face surface, the second face surface, or the front face surface having the one or more control components is accessible when the adaptor is operatively coupled to the single door operator housing or the first housing and second housing of double door operator system.
