ABSTRACT:
A sectional door (20) having a plurality of panels (21, 22, 23, 24) including, a body portion (25) of the panels spacing and joining longitudinal edges (40, 50), one of the edges (40) between adjacent panels on a first panel having a substantially concave curvilinear surface (45) in vertical cross-section, the other of the edges (50) between adjacent panels on a second panel having a substantially planar surface (52) in vertical cross-section, longitudinally-spaced hinges (65) interconnecting the first and second panels for pivotal movement. The hinges include a first hinge element (66) having a first leaf (67) overlying and attached to one of the adjacent panels, a generally cylindrical first knuckle (72) at one edge of the first leaf, a through slot (73) in the first leaf proximate the first knuckle, a second hinge element (80) having a second leaf (85) overlying and attached to an adjacent panel, and a generally cylindrical second knuckle (81) at one edge of the second hinge element extending into the through slot and rotatable about the first knuckle. A panel (22) for sectional door (20) having a generally rectangular foam core (140, 240, 340), an inner surface (145, 245, 345) extending the longitudinal length of said foam core, and a recess (150, 250, 350) in the inner surface and the foam core extending the longitudinal length of the foam core. A bracket assembly (110) for the bottom (35) of the lower panel (24) of the door including, an L-shaped plate (111) overlying a portion of the inner surface (36) of the lower panel, a generally cylindrical sleeve (120) affixed on the plate for receiving a shaft (121) mounting one of the rollers (122), fasteners (115) for attaching the L-shaped plate to the lower panel positioned to underlie a portion of the cylindrical sleeve and the shaft, and cut-outs (125) in the cylindrical sleeve positioned substantially above the fasteners whereby the fasteners may be removed only when the shaft is not positioned in the cylindrical sleeve.
