Abstract: A waterproof device arranged on an upper doorframe for a rolling barrier of the door consists of a fixing member securely attached on the upper doorframe and a rubber gasket member pivotally connected with the fixing member. The fixing member particularly has a cylindrical groove. The rubber gasket member is integrally formed with a cylindrical connecting portion pivotally fitted in the cylindrical groove and a tongue-like extension portion extended through an opening of the cylindrical groove. The length of the tongue-like extension portion is larger than a distance between the fixing member and the rolling barrier. When the rolling barrier is drawn downward, a retaining block formed on the rolling barrier presses tightly against an inner side surface of an outer end of the extension portion, therefore the upper doorframe of the rolling barrier is prevented from being penetrated by rain water.
