doorstop Explanation: I think this is a long strip attached to the doorframe on the vertical side away from the hinges, to form a rebate. My DIY manual has a diagramme where it calls this strip a doorstop. Be warned, however that a door stop is normally an object that one puts on the floor, usually to hold a door open. My DIY manual is using the word with a different meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2004-04-22 16:18:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or door stop - my Collins DIY Manual (2001) gives doorstop, many websites give door stop.

door frame Explanation: Battuta is the door frame or simply the frame. The text is talking about automatic door systems with single panel. The overlapping between the sliding/revolving panel and the door frame (struttura fissa) shall be avoided.... As to the term "Rischio di cesoiamento" the Machinery Directive and other relevant standards define this risk as "Shearing risk" Moreover I think that "gamma sull'anta" is a mistake, it is probably "gomma sull'anta" that is a rubber pad along the panel. Hope this can help you. |
