Example

[0019] With reference now to the figures, and in particular to FIGS. 1-4, garage 1 comprises wall 2 having doorway opening 4 extending across a driveway which typically provides access into the interior of garage 1 through opening 4. Garage door 3 further comprises a plurality of horizontal, rectangular sections or panels 5 disposed one atop the next and coupled together by hinges 10. Panels 5 are supported by rollers 9 which travel within rails 7 extending on either side of opening 4 inside garage 1. Rails 7 are supported by mounting brackets 8 attached to the inside of wall 2.

[0020] Some garage doors 3 may be operated by electric garage door openers (not shown) adapted automatically or manually to raise and lower door 3. Such door openers typically may be operated to stop the door manually at any point along its path of travel, leaving a gap beneath bottom edge 6 of bottom panel 5. The operator of the garage door opener can control the height of this opening by stopping the opene...

Abstract

A net is adapted to stretch across the entire width of a garage doorway to cover a vertical portion of the doorway. The net comprises an open weave web portion having a closed weave border. Two brackets mounted one on each side of the doorway near the floor include lugs spaced above the garage floor. Straps extend from the bottom and top portions of the border toward the brackets and loop through the lugs and back onto themselves where hook-and-loop fasteners secure them in place. One or more intermediate straps may extend from each end of the net between the top and bottom straps to corresponding lugs. The garage door freely passes in front of the net to close the doorway as normal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates generally to doorway accessories, and particularly to accessories for covering openings below partially opened garage doors. More particularly, this invention relates to a net adapted to be stretched from one side of the doorway to the other beneath the garage door. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Sectioned garage doors typically employ several horizontal panels hinged together to allow the door to follow a curved track when raised overhead. Such doors are supported on the ends of each panel by rollers which follow an inverted-L shaped track mounted vertically on either side of the door opening. Especially when raised and lowered by an automatic door opener, such garage doors may be stopped at any level above the garage floor, leaving a horizontal opening the width of the doorway beneath the bottom door panel. Owners often use this technique to increase ventilation and light or to ...
