ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a protective entranceway contained in the outer door of a van, trailer or other shelter means. In one mode our device takes the form of a door operable about a vertical hinge line, and although thicker than an ordinary door, it serves in the manner of an ordinary door to provide closure for the shelter means at such time as no contamination is present. A platform is contained on the outer portion of our door, which is enabled to swing downwardly at the time of a contamination alert. A canopy that had been contained in the door in a folded condition is caused by downward movement of the platform to deploy and form a closed entranceway serving in a second mode of use to prevent contaminated air from entering the shelter means.
