Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0957222A1] A device for emergency opening of doors has been provided in which control means (4) associated with a frame (2) selectively allows or inhibits opening of the door. Closure means (10) associated with the frame (2) and active on the control means (4) is capable of inhibiting the control means (4) from carrying out a door-opening movement. The device further comprises safety opening means (18) to be activated on the control means (4) and capable of causing opening of the door even under inhibition conditions by the closure means (10). For the purpose, the safety means (18) is active on a stop element (13) to cause a displacement of the latter to an operating condition in which said stop element enables movement of the control means (4). By this safety opening means (18) a quick and clearly easy opening of a door is allowed even when said door is locked by a key. <IMAGE>
