ABSTRACT:
A garage door screen system is provided for a sectional garage door of the type which opens to an overhead position while supported by rollers contained in channels. The screen system is for a partially opened garage door and, in the preferred embodiment, provides separate screens for the bottom opening and the opening at the top which occurs as the door panels pivot inwardly. The bottom screen is alternately a rigid panel which is supported by vertical guides to the lowest door panel, or a window shade draw down type. A latch holds the lower rigid screen so that it does not extend below the door panel. When the latch is released, the screen panel will descend. The latch can be re-engaged merely by lowering the door. Torsion springs in the roller mechanism, automatically retract the screen secured to it when the latch holding the screen in its extended position is released. The top screen is attached at its top end to an upper cylinder which is secured to the door frame by pipe clamps. A lower cylinder is attached to the bottom end of the screen keeping it extended across the opening. This screen can be raised by rolling it about the lower cylinder. Alternatively, this upper screen may be left in its extended position without interfering with the opening and closing of the garage door. End and top covers are provided for the lower screen panel resulting in a system which will keep insects, etc. out, while permitting circulation of air.
