Abstract:
This invention is about an improved garage door opener system, with design features for preventing garage door break-in from outside of the garage using an object such as a hanger. Typically, a person pulls down a cord connected to a release handle to release emergency release of a garage door opener, allowing the door to be manually open or closed. An unauthorized person may attempt to pull down the cord using a hanger from outside the garage or to pull or push down the release handle, to open the door from outside and gain unauthorized entrance. The improved garage door opener system provides a mechanism to reverse the pulling direction of the cord and also protects release handle from being accessed from outside the garage, for increased security.

Claim (Index 1):
A garage door opener system, comprising:\n a motor unit providing a driving force for moving a garage door; and a power transmission arrangement for transmitting the driving force from the motor unit to the garage door, the power transmission arrangement including an emergency release unit, wherein when the emergency release unit is engaged, the power transmission mechanism transmits the driving force from the motor to the garage door and when the emergency release unit is disengaged, the driving force is separated from the garage door; the emergency release unit comprising:\n a body; \n a release actuator mounted to the body, the release actuator having a distal end for fastening a release cord thereto, wherein the emergency release unit changes from engaged to disengaged when the distal end travels along a disengaging direction a minimum amount of travel; \n a direction reverser positioned adjacent the distal end, the direction reverser supporting a section of the release cord around the direction reverser, wherein the direction reverser is positioned such that pulling the release cord suspended around the direction reverser does not move the distal end sufficiently along the disengagement direction to disengage the emergency release unit; and \n a biasing element secured to the body for suspending the section of the release cord around the direction reverser.
