GATE SUPPORT SYSTEM
The present invention is directed to a device for supporting an unmounted end of a gate, barrier, or fence, the device including: a support shaft, including: a handle portion; a pin or extrusion extending from the support shaft; and a foot; and an elevating bracket, including: a channel to receive the support shaft; one or more notches, configured to receive the pin or extrusion; and one or more attachment portions for attaching the device to the unmounted end of the gate, barrier or fence. A user supporting a gate by lowering the support shaft to the ground until the foot is in contact with the ground, and then rotating the support shaft such that the pin is held between two notches.
Door security wedge device
A device for preventing unauthorized opening of a door comprises a bracket, a main handle, and a wedge. The bracket is adapted for mounting the device to a door. The main handle is pivotably attached to the bracket. The main handle has a pivot end attached to the bracket and an opposing grasping end. The main handle is selectively pivotably movable upward and downward. The main handle is adapted such that pivoting the main handle upward moves the grasping end toward the door and pivoting the main handle downward moves the grasping end away from the door. The wedge is pivotably affixed to the main handle and biased toward the door when the main handle is in a downward position. The main handle is adapted to push a distal end of the wedge at least partly under a bottom surface of the door when the main handle is pivoted downward.
Door mounted door position maintaining device
This invention is directed to a door mounted door position maintaining device with an adhesive strip for mounting on a door surface. The doorstop has a hollow body for containment of the operational parts, namely the shaft, which travels along a vertical axis and provides a way of stopping and holding the door or releasing the door from its held position. The handle used for activation or deactivation is located at one end of the shaft proximal to the top and the gripping friction foot is located at the furthest most point from the top or at the bottom. The foot uses friction when in contact with the floor to hold the door in place. A spring is utilized for additional stopping force in order to compensate for the lack of leverage due to the straight up and down orientation of the shaft. Weights may also be utilized.
