ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein an upwardly acting overhead door which is adapted to be rolled along an L-shaped track between a substantially vertical closed position and a substantially horizontal storage position. The door includes a plurality of adjacent laterally-extending door panel sections in edge-to-edge arrangement and hinge sets for interconnecting adjacent panel sections along adjacent lateral edges.
Each of the hinge sets includes a male member and a female member. The male member is secured to the lower edge of the upper adjacent door section and the female member is secured to the upper edge of the lower of said adjacent door section. The male and female members define a hinge knuckle which interconnects the male and female members, and thus hingedly interconnects the door sections along the lateral edges thereof.
The members, which may be extrusions, define roller receiving sections within the hinge adjacent each side edge for removably receiving a roller-and-shaft assembly, shaft bearing sleeve, and a resilient, removable spacer member. By removing the spacer member, the sleeve bearing can be slid from or retracted from its bearing position, thereby permitting the removal of the roller-and-shaft assembly without dismantling the door.
