ABSTRACT:
A safety device for the bottom of a vertically-closing door, such as a sectional garage door. The device comprises an elongated member installed at the bottom of the door and parallel thereto, the member having a substantially horizontal bottom surface and an upper surface which slopes downwardly and outwardly from the door. The width of the member is sufficient to bridge over the neck of a human if inadvertently trapped beneath the door when closing. The safety device may be formed as part of the bottom of a door when manufactured, or may be a later addition to an existing door.
