主权项

1. A swing type garage door, comprising:
a door body rotationally connected to a door frame, the door body rotatable between a first closed position and a second open position, the door body having a plane defined by a face of the door body; wherein the door body has a main door body section and a door load truss section, the door load truss section hingedly connected at a bottom of the main door body section and at a top of the door load truss section and rotatable on a horizontal axis substantially coplanar and parallel with the plane of the door body between a first configuration in which the main door body section and the door load truss section are coplanar with the plane of the door body where the door load truss section extends downwardly from the bottom of the main door body section, and a second configuration in which the door load truss section is substantially perpendicular to the main door body section where the door load truss section assists in prevention of sagging of the door body during opening and when the door body is in the second open position.
