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.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 6 December 1994 (06.12.94); original claims 1 , 9 and 12-18 amended; remaining claims unchanged (7 pages)]
1. An overhead garage door bottom bracket for assisting the door lift in a spring tensioned system comprising: a garage door bottom bracket; first means for releasably securing said bracket to the door bottom; second means for connecting said bracket to a door lifting spring under tension; and third means for releasably interlocking said bracket to the door, said third means adapted to interlock said bracket with the door when said bracket is connected to the lift spring under tension and to be easily releasable from the door bottom when said bracket is not connected to the lift spring under tension.
2. The bracket of claim 1 wherein said third means comprises: at least one male protrusion on said bracket for interlocking said bracket to at least one female receptacle on the door bottom by sliding interference fit.
3. The bracket of claim 2 wherein said male protrusion has a narrow throat and a bulbous head adapted to be received by said female receptacle.
4. The bracket of claim 1 wherein said third means comprises: at least one female receptacle on said bracket for interlocking said bracket to at least one male receptacle on the door bottom by sliding interference fit.
5. The bracket of claim 4 wherein said male protrusion has a narrow throat and a bulbous head adapted to be received by said female receptacle.
6. The bracket of claim 1 wherein said first means comprises a flange with an aperture for at least one threaded fastening device.
7. The bracket of claim 1 wherein said second means comprises: an elongated body extending from said bracket having an enlarged head for securing said spring.
8. The bracket of claim 2 wherein said bottom bracket comprises one piece having: two intersecting planar surfaces that are substantially perpendicular to one another; and a pair of rings integrally formed from and substantially perpendicular to one of said planar surfaces for securing a standard door roller to said bottom bracket.
9. The bracket of claim 8 wherein one of said planar surfaces includes at least one slot adapted to permit said first means to releasably secure said bracket to said door bottom and the other of said planar surfaces includes said male protrusions and said second means integrally formed therewith.
12. An overhead garage door bottom bracket assembly for assisting the door lift in a spring tensioned system comprising: a garage door bottom panel; and a garage door bottom bracket having first and second substantially perpendicularly intersecting planar surfaces, a ring integrally formed from and substantially perpendicular to said first planar surface for securing a standard door roller thereto, at least one slot in said first planar surface to permit passage of at least one threaded fastening device for releasably securing said bracket to a door lifting spring under tension, and means for releasably interlocking said bracket to the door bottom, said means adapted to interlock said bracket with the door bottom when said bracket is connected to the lift spring under tension and to be easily releasable from the door bottom when said bracket is not connected to the lift spring under tension.
13. The bracket assembly of claim 12 wherein said means for preventing said bracket from releasing said bottom panel comprises: at least one male protrusion on said bracket; and at least one female receptacle on said bottom panel for interlocking said bracket to said bottom panel by sliding interference fit.
14. The bracket assembly of claim 13 wherein said male protrusion has a narrow throat and bulbous head and said female receptacle has a bulbous opening with a narrow slot extending therefrom; said bulbous head adapted to be received by said bulbous opening; and said narrow throat adapted to be received by said narrow slot.
15. The bracket of claim 13 wherein said female receptacles are located in the stile of said bottom panel and said male protrusions are located on said bracket second planar surface.
16. The bracket assembly of claim 12 wherein said means for preventing said bracket from releasing said bottom panel comprises: at least one female receptacle on said bracket; and at least one male protrusion on said bottom panel for interlocking said bracket to said bottom panel by sliding interference fit.
17. The bracket assembly of claim 16 wherein said male protrusion has a narrow throat and bulbous head and said female receptacle has a bulbous opening with a narrow slot extending therefrom; said bulbous head adapted to be received by said bulbous opening; and said narrow throat adapted to be received by said narrow slot.
18. The bracket of claim 17 wherein said male protrusions are located on the stile of said bottom panel and said female receptacles are located in said bracket second planar surface.
