Abstract
Apparatus for use in mounting a door on an overhead track comprising a carriage assembly constructed and arranged to be moved horizontally along the track in such a way as to limit upward movement thereof, and a door mounted assembly constructed and arranged to be mounted on an upper edge of the door so as to be moved with the door. The door mounted assembly is movable with the door (1) into an initial position wherein a locking member on the carriage assembly is in an initial vertically aligned position with respect to a locking member receiving opening on the door mounted assembly and (2) from the initial position upwardly with a snap action into a locking position wherein the locking member is in a locking position within the opening. A releasing member on the door mounted assembly is operable when the locking member is in locked relation within the opening to be moved from a normal operative position into a releasing position thereof to enable the door mounted assembly to move downwardly with the door into released relation with respect to the carriage assembly.
