Abstract:
A wind-resistant sectional overhead door selectively moveable between an open position and a closed position relative to a door opening defined by spaced vertical jambs to either side of the door and a horizontal header extending therebetween comprising, a plurality of elongate horizontal panels pivotally connected at the top and bottom edges of adjacent of said panels, roller tracks adapted to be mounted on the vertical jambs, roller shafts mounted at the ends of said panels, guide rollers carried by said roller shafts and engaging said roller tracks, and restraining members for limiting axial movement of said roller shafts, whereby said roller shafts and said panels are tension-loaded when the door is in the closed position to prevent buckling of said panels under applied wind forces.
