Abstract:
A guiding mechanism for use with an industrial door that is movable between blocking and unblocking positions relative to a doorway defined by a wall, the door including an extension member which extends across the doorway with the door in the doorway blocking position, the guiding mechanism comprising:a guard bracket adapted to extend along the doorway and having a mounting segment and a guard segment; a track adapted to extend along the doorway and including a guideway adapted to receive a roller attached to the extension member and to guide the roller as the door moves between blocking and unblocking positions, the track being mounted to the mounting segment such that the guard segment protects the track from an obstacle during a track impact condition; and a resilient member mounted to the guard bracket wherein the resilient member is adapted to deform to allow relative movement between the track and the extension member during an impact condition.
