Abstract:
1. A door operator attachable to a door operator mounting structure, the door operator comprising: a motor mounting plate; a motor connected to said motor mounting plate; at least one gear assembly coupled to said motor and having a driven gear and a driving gear; a gear coupled to said at least one gear assembly; a shaft fixed to said gear and rotatable around a shaft axis in a first rotational direction, said shaft having a first axial end and an opposing second axial end; a bracket fixed to said motor mounting plate, said at least one gear assembly, and said shaft; a first sideplate having a first length, a first inner surface fixed to the bracket, a first outer surface opposing said first inner surface, a first lip surface adjacent to said first outer surface and at least partially defining a first slot adjacent to said first outer surface and extending along said first length, and a second lip surface adjacent to said first outer surface and at least partially defining a second slot adjacent to said first outer surface and extending along said first length; a second sideplate spaced a distance from the first sideplate to define a volume between said first sideplate and said second sideplate, said volume intersecting said motor and said motor mounting plate, said second sideplate having a second length, a second inner surface fixed to the bracket, a second outer surface, a third lip surface adjacent to said second outer surface and at least partially defining a third slot adjacent to the second outer surface and extending along said second length, and a fourth lip surface adjacent to said second outer surface and at least partially defining a fourth slot adjacent to said second outer surface and extending along said second length; and an elongate arm operationally mounted to either said first end or said second end of said shaft.
