Abstract:
A garage includes a garage door which can be opened and closed by a garage door opener or by hand. A pendant suspended from a cord is movable from a raised position when the garage door is closed to a lowered position when the garage door is open. In the lowered position, the pendant is at the height of the windshield of a vehicle and at the eye level of the driver. When a vehicle enters the garage and the windshield contacts the pendant, the vehicle is properly positioned in the garage. The cord is attached to a reel which winds up the cord when the pendant is raised and pays out the cord when the pendant is lowered. The reel is driven in at least one direction by an internal spring, by a spring of the garage door opener or by the motor of the garage door opener.
