Abstract: A door (10) whose outer appearance may be readily altered has at least one panel (12) with a back side (22) and a front face (23) including a plurality of horizontal locking slots (32, 34, 36) formed thereacross and interchangeable facades (14, 16) having a decorative front side (50) and a back side (52) with integrally formed, backwardly projecting clips (54, 56) adapted to releasably interlock with the slots. The panel includes end caps (38) adapted to receive the facades (14, 16) thereunder, with the facades being movable in the slots (32, 34, 36), to accommodate expansion and contraction of the facades and door.

Abstract: A bottom bracket (12) for an overhead garage door (10) having a spring tension assisted lift system. The bottom bracket (12) has protrusions (22) that interlock with mating slots (46) in the stile (15) of the garage door bottom panel (14) thus preventing the bracket (12) from detaching from the garage door (10) when the bracket is attached to the spring (18) under tension, even if the bracket fastening screws (33) are removed.

Abstract: An extension spring overhead door system (10) in which the spring (22) may be quickly and easily placed in tension with the door (21) in a closed position. A spring tensioning device (30, 140) is provided which eliminates the need for multiple installers to lift the full weight of the door (21) and then clamp or otherwise prop the door (21) in an open position. An extension spring containment tube (84) is also provided which surrounds the entire periphery of the spring (22) to fully contain the entire length of the extension spring (22). A second embodiment of the spring tensioning device (140) allows mounting of device (140) on either side of the door (21) while retaining easy access.

Abstract: A garage door frame (18) has a pair of vertical frame members (22) attached to each lateral end of a horizontal frame member (20). The door frame components can be transported to the construction or job site and assembled there to avoid the expense of welding at the manufacturer and to better accommodate job site specification and design changes. Alternatively, the components can be pre-assembled at the factory. Each vertical frame member (22) is joined to the horizontal frame member (20) with a unique connector (46) which slidably inserts within the horizontal frame member (20) and between side walls of a U-shaped portion (44) of the vertical frame member (22). A combination of interlocking ribs (42) and grooves (56, 58) formed in the frame members secures them together. First and second preferred embodiments of the invention are adapted for use with extension spring garage doors and torsion spring garage doors, respectively.

Abstract translation: 车库门框架（18）具有安装在水平框架构件（20）的每个侧端的一对垂直框架构件（22）。 门框组件可以运输到施工现场并组装在那里，以避免制造商的焊接费用，并更好地适应作业现场规范和设计变更。 或者，组件可以在工厂预组装。 每个垂直框架构件（22）通过独特的连接器（46）连接到水平框架构件（20），该连接器可滑动地插入水平框架构件（20）内并在U形部分（44）的侧壁之间插入 垂直框架构件（22）。 形成在框架构件中的互锁肋（42）和凹槽（56,58）的组合将它们固定在一起。 本发明的第一和第二优选实施例分别适用于延伸弹簧车库门和扭簧车库门。

Abstract: A sectional door, which may be an overhead door (10) such as a residential garage door, including hingedly connected door panels (12a-12d) each being formed from a plurality of subpanels (14a-14d). The subpanels (14a-14d) forming each door panel (12a-12d) are disposed end-to-end to form the entire length of the door panel (12a-12d). Rigid connection between adjacent subpanels (14a-14d) of the same door panel (12a-12d) is made by at least one and preferably two connecting bars (32) extending within channels (34, 36) of adjacent subpanels (14a-14d) in a lengthwise direction. The connecting bars (32) are each formed of a length substantially less than the overall length of the door panel (12a-12d) but slightly longer than the length of an individual subpanel (14a-14d). All components of the door (10) may be stored and transported in relatively small packages or cartons (100), yet may be assembled into a structurally rigid, wind resistant sectional door (10).

Abstract: An overhead door apparatus (10) utilizing a torsion spring counterbalancing mechanism (30). The counterbalancing mechanism (30) includes a worm drive ring-shaped gear winding mechanism (38) for setting the appropriate torque or number of winds in the spring (32). A counting mechanism (140) is provided to indicate to the installer the number of winds being given to the spring (32). Means are also provided for accommodating spring growth and contraction during winding and unwinding using the winding mechanism (38) and during normal raising and lowering of the door (12). A spring clip gear retainer (82) is disclosed for preventing rotation or creep of the worm drive gear (70) and spur gear (56) during normal raising and lowering of the door (12). A second embodiment is disclosed allowing more universal interchangeability of components between the left and right sides of the door system (200), easy snap-in assembly, and including a telescoping spring cover (252). Each embodiment includes a spring winding counter (140).
