Chevrolet cars and other vehicles have
become the major modes of transportation of the 20th Century of
today. Therefore every modern household was designed to have a garage
by its side to facilitate and to provide space for all such vehicles
to be parked in, rather than leaving them in the open. As time passed
by, people started realizing that it was tiring and hard to lift
those large, heavy garage doors every time someone need to enter or
exit the garage with their vehicles. Thus to ease this problem, the
garage door openers were invented which instantly solved this issue.
Firstly a garage door opener is a
device functioning with an electric motor that automatically lift and
close the garage doors for you to park your Chevrolet car. While
earlier models have a switch placed at the garage wall to function
them, latest versions as also operated by remote controls. The first
garage door opener was invented by C.G. Johnson in 1926 which was an
electric over head garage opener. A regular garage door opener
firstly comprises of the power which has the electric motor which is
an essential part of it. Attached with this power unit is a track
while an arm is hooked to the garage door and is finally connected to
a trolley. This assembly is what pushes the door upwards and pulls it
back down as well. This assembly is connected from the trolley with a
belt or chain which is then found around the motor which controls the
opening and closing action of the door. This assembly also has a
quick release mechanism which functions in times of emergency or
power failures, disconnection the garage door from the main,
mechanism so it can manually be lifted. The mechanical assembly of a
garage door opener hangs openly near the ceiling, but out of reach,
while the power unit is placed near the farthest wall of the garage.
A garage door starts functioning when the signal from the remote
reaches it or the switch allows the flow of electric power though the
motor.
More advanced garage door openers used
remote controls while the technology is still quite simple, the
Chevrolet car owners could use the door open while still seated in
their Chevrolet car. The remote control transmits a radio
frequency, which the receiver attached to the main mechanism,
receives and therefore would function in opening or closing the
garage door for the Chevrolet car to enter or exit. Further
advancements were made in its technology as well as its mechanism and
modern era garage openers feature further more specifics like motion
sensing lighting system which turn on while you enter your garage
driving the Chevrolet car or locks out features, sealing off your
garage by turning the receiver off when you’re out of your house
for long periods. This is how the garage door opener came into
existence and how it developed to offer Chevrolet car owners the
convenience of ideally being able to park their Chevrolet car
conveniently.
