Abstract
A safety system for a garage door movable along a door frame is used to detect an obstacle. The safety system includes a motor device for opening and closing the garage door, a control circuit for controlling the motor to open and close the door, a light emitting device for emitting a light, a light receiving device in communication with the control circuit for receiving the light, wherein the light emitting device and the light receiving device are to be mounted on one side of the door frame, and an optical reflecting device for mounting on the other side of the door frame opposite to the light emitting device and the light receiving device whereby the light receiving device will receive light emitted from the light emitting device and reflected by the optical reflecting device. An optical element is to be mounted near the optical reflecting device for changing the polarization direction of the reflected light, and another optical element is to be mounted near the light receiving device to allow the light in only one polarization direction to pass there through.
