Abstract (en)

A restraint for mounting in or on a side frame element (1, 1a) of a door opening in which a curtain (2) is mounted comprises a bracket (4) mounting at least first and second rollers (8a, 8b) upon respective first and second spindles below an opposed pair of guide plates (5, 6) which define a gap through which, in use, an edge margin of the door curtain (2) is guided in a generally vertical plane. The spindles (9, 9a) mounting the rollers (8a, 8b) extend generally parallel to each other at positions which lie at opposite sides of the plane of the curtain (2) in use so that the rollers mounted thereby contact opposing surfaces of the curtain. The spindles also extend at positions one above the other, ie, at a respective upper and lower level. The second spindle (of roller 8b) is mounted so as to be adjustable in position relative to the first spindle (of roller 8a) so that the position of the second roller (8b) can be adjusted to deflect the curtain (2) from its otherwise generally vertical plane when extending through the restraint.
