  • Publication number: 20130019533
    Abstract: A counter balance system for an overhead door assembly is provided. The overhead door assembly includes a door frame, an overhead door, and a door lifting assembly. The door lifting assembly includes an extension spring, a cable, and a pulley assembly. The pulley assembly guides the cable as the door is moved between a raised open position and a lowered closed position. A pulley of the pulley assembly is mounted so that an axis of rotation of the pulley remains perpendicular to a portion of the first cable extending between the pulley and a lower portion of the overhead door as the door is moved between the raised open position and the lowered closed position.

  • Publication number: 20050056387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a reinforcement device suited for bracing a building aperture cover, such as a garage door; the device automatically engages when the aperture cover is lowered and disengages when the door is raised. The device employs at least one upper anchoring element, cooperating with the door header, and one lower anchoring element, cooperating with the floor structure. Both the upper and lower elements are securely attached to aperture cover so that they effectively divide and support the span of the aperture cover against positive and negative wind loads.
