Patent ID: RE42198

Claim:
A roll-up closure device typically for use on vehicle shelters of the type defining at a front end thereof a door opening having lateral sides which diverge from top to bottom, comprising a pair of guide means adapted to be mounted to the vehicle shelter substantially at the lateral sides of the door opening and substantially parallel thereto thereby diverging from top to bottom an overhead roller means adapted to be rotatably mounted inside the vehicle shelter and substantially horizontally adjacent an upper end of the door opening, a flexible closure means adapted to be secured at a top end thereof to said roller means, at least a section of said flexible closure means having a shape which tapes in direction of said roller means and including diverging lateral side edges adapted to be engaged in said guide means, whereby a rotation of said roller means causes said flexible closure means to displace along said guide means and to wind around said roller means or to unwind therefrom for displacing said flexible closure means towards an open or a closed position thereof, respectively, wherein in said closed position, said section of said flexible closure means substantially completely closes the door opening.
