Abstract

An electronic door system includes a door frame, a door hingedly coupled to the door frame, an electrically-controllable component coupled to or disposed within the door, a door wiring harness, and a cover. The door defines a channel extending along at least a portion of a peripheral edge thereof. The door wiring harness includes a wire extending along and within the channel. The wire is coupled to the electrically-controllable component. The cover extends along the peripheral edge and covers the channel.

Claims28

Dependent claims

An electronic door system comprising:

a door frame including a first side jamb, a second side jamb, a head jamb, and a sill, and wherein at least one of the first side jamb or the second side jamb defines a light channel extending substantially along an entire longitudinal length thereof;
a frame wiring harness extending through the door frame;
a light strip disposed within and extending along the light channel, a portion of the light strip extending into the head jamb and connected to the frame wiring harness;
and
a light cover enclosing the light strip within the light channel;
a door hingedly coupled to the door frame, the door defining a channel extending along at least a portion of a peripheral edge thereof;
an electrically-controllable component coupled to or disposed within the door;
a door wiring harness including a wire extending along and within the channel, the wire coupled to the electrically-controllable component;
a power transfer assembly positioned between the door frame and the door, the power transfer assembly electrically coupling the frame wiring harness to the door wiring harness;
and
a cover extending along the peripheral edge and covering the channel.
