Abstract:
A “Pipe and Strap Operating Drive System” (PSODS) is disclosed which efficiently and accurately positions a blocker, or door mechanism, over an opening that is of exact or similar profile and dimensions as the door mechanism. In the preferred embodiment, PSODS is used to vary the position of a poultry house ventilation blocker or door mechanism from a tightly-closed position against the opening, or when required, within a certain range of door mechanism open positions, as dictated by weather conditions or internal air quality. Essentially, the inventive concept featuring PSODS utilizes at least one strap, wherein a first end of each strap is wound about a length of pipe, termed a “pipe drive.” The second end of the strap is attached proximate an upper edge of the door mechanism. As the pipe drive is rotated, the attached strap(s) control movement of the door mechanism toward a closed or open position.

Claim (Index 4):
The pipe and strap operating drive device as in  claim 1 , further comprising a first pipe sleeve co-axially affixed proximate one end of the length of pipe and a second pipe sleeve co-axially affixed proximate the opposite end of the length of pipe; a first guide bracket and a second guide bracket, each having a roller pin, said guide brackets being attached to the surface at symmetrically-spaced locations parallel to the length of pipe; a first strap attached to the first pipe sleeve and routed so as to travel about the roller pin of the first guide bracket; and a second strap attached to the second pipe sleeve and routed so as to travel about the roller pin of the second guide bracket.
