ABSTRACT:
An opening mechanism for a tip-up door especially for garages which comprises levers fixed on a shaft which is mounted hingedly on the door, the levers having their distal ends connected to the door frame and torque applying structure being functionally connected with the shaft and a motor to apply torque for opening the door with the structure and motor being mounted on the door. The torque applying structure can be a crank or a gear system. An initiator can comprise either a manually applied switch or remote initiating means such as ultra-sonic or radio signals. This opening mechanism applies a torque to the levers to lift the door open in a tip-up action but additionally applies a reaction torque to the door itself to swing it up in the typical tip-up fashion while the levers lift it.
