A door protection device for a vertically moveable door is attached to a bottom panel of a garage door coupled to and moveable in a track. The door protection device comprises: a first and second portion. The first portion is configured to be attached to a door panel and extend below the door panel, and is configured to be attached flush with the door panel, optionally with a reinforcing plate therebetween. The second portion extends from the first portion and is lower than a bottom surface of the bottom panel. The second portion is bent or curved in relation to the first portion at a first angle.

A portable container, of the type of a suitcase, a trunk, a crate, a trolley, and the like, comprising a first shell portion and a second shell portion which are mutually articulated and can move between a configuration for closing an internal compartment and at least one open configuration for free access to the compartment; a safety device is coupled to the shell portions; the container also comprises an assembly for coupling the device to at least the first shell portion; the assembly is provided with: at least two inserts which are stably inserted in respective seats a slider, coupled to the device, a profiled element which is rigidly supported by the inserts and forms a guiding track for the slider, means for the rigid anchoring of the slider to the profiled element.

A stopping apparatus includes a drum that rotates in a first rotation direction during opening of a back door and rotates in a second rotation direction during closing of the back door; a locking member that shifts between a locking position where the locking member prevents the rotation of the drum in the first rotation direction and an unlocking position where the locking member allows the rotation of the drum in the first rotation direction; and a shifting mechanism to shift a position of the locking member from the unlocking position to the locking position when a shifting operation is performed in a situation where the locking member is located at the unlocking position, and maintain the position of the locking member at the locking position when the shifting operation is performed in a situation where the locking member is located at the locking position.

A latch assembly is provided that includes a latch arm having a rotational axis and an engagement surface on a distal end of the latch arm a length from the rotational axis. The engagement surface is stowed in a stowed state of the latch arm. The latch arm is configured to receive a pushing force to depress the latch arm a predetermined distance along the rotational axis. The latch assembly also includes a turret assembly having a top end with the latch arm mounted thereon. The turret assembly is configured to, in response to the pushing force being applied to the latch arm, raise and rotate the latch arm about the rotational axis to thereby transition the latch arm from the stowed state to a deployed state in which the engagement surface is exposed.
