Abstract
Mechanism primarily suited to automatic sliding door applications wherein at least a pair of object presence sensing detectors, preferably of the ultra-sonic transducer type are arranged to be placed in linear spaced relation to one another effective to cast sonic beams produced thereby spanning the doorway to which applied. So as to assure satisfactorily a beam path to be intercepted by an object stationary or moving in the beams, they are purposely overlapped. The door upon being operatively moved by motion sensing detectors or manual means acts at different opening positions to switch the object sensing detectors on and upon reverse closing positions switches the object sensing detectors off.
