Abstract
A door system includes a reel, a door interconnect at a first end to the reel for winding and unwinding thereupon and one or more guide channels. The reel is rotatably mounted on a lever which is pivotally mounted to a pivot axis. Thus, the reel can pivot about the pivot axis to ensure that, during operation, a point at which an outer layer of the door engages/disengages with the penultimate door layer remains in the same general location with respect to the guide channels and accordingly, an angle (if any) at which the door enters the guide channels remains constant throughout operation of the door system.
