Abstract
A roller bracket assembly for a movable barrier includes a base bracket coupled to the movable barrier and a roller holder bracket. The roller holder bracket is rotatably coupled to the base bracket. The roller bracket assembly further includes a support bracket. The roller holder bracket includes multiple ratcheting features configured to engage with corresponding ratcheting features of the support bracket. The ratcheting features of the roller holder bracket and the support bracket allow movement of the roller holder bracket away from the movable barrier rotating relative to the base bracket, but prevent movement of the roller holder bracket toward the movable barrier.
