AUTOMATIC BLOCKING DEVICE FOR LIMITING A SLIDING MOVEMENT OF A FIRST STRUCTURE MOUNTED ADJACENT TO A SECOND STRUCTURE
A lockout device for selectively blocking linear movement of a movable frame member relative to a fixed frame member includes a lock tab pivotably mountable to the fixed frame member and having a contact surface configured to slidably engage a slide surface of the movable frame member when the lock tab has a first orientation, the movable frame member including a stop surface at one end of the slide surface, a holder for releasably holding the lock tab in a second orientation with the contact surface spaced from the slide surface, and a body mountable to the movable frame member and configured such that movement of the movable frame member in a first direction causes the body pivot the lock tab into the second orientation and movement of the movable member in a second direction causes the body to pivot the lock tab into the first orientation.
ROTARY DOOR STOP
The present disclosure provides a rotary door stop. The rotary door stop includes a door stop rotation base and a door stop body. The door stop body rotates about the door stop rotation base to define a locked state or an unlocked state. By engagement between a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the rotary door stop is retained in the locked state for ease of door closing; and when the rotary door stop approaches a door frame, retention of the unlocked state may also be released while the door is closed.
Tilt window latch and method
A latch and method for a double sash tilt window includes a locking mechanism and a rack having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end of the rack is connected to the locking mechanism while the distal end of the rack is affixed to a slide bolt. The latch also includes a cam and a gear, the cam positioned on the gear and the gear enmeshed with the rack so that rotating the gear operates the slide bolt which prevents the window from tilting.
Portable door securement device
A portable door securement device is provided having a member extending from a first end engaged to a doorknob of a swinging door or endwall of a sliding door. A second end of the securement device is configured to be engaged with a support surface adjacent the door, to prevent opening of the door in a direction toward the engaged member.
Gate hold open device
A gate hold open device is configured to hold the gate open at any point along the swing of the gate. A mounting bracket hingedly secures one end of a prop leg to the gate. A sliding handle hangs from the gate to secure the prop leg to the gate when the gate is in a closed position and the device is disengaged or stored. The sliding handle is lifted from the gate such that the prop leg can pivot or rotate about the mounting bracket and fall to the ground. The gate can then be flung open, and the prop leg will drag along the ground until the gate begins to swing back toward the closed position. The prop leg jams into the ground, holding the gate open until a user lifts the prop leg and hangs the sliding handle back on the gate.
SLIDING DOOR FOOT BOLT
A lock kit for a fenestration assembly includes a panel stop. The fenestration assembly includes a first panel and a second panel, at least one of the first and second panels being slideable relative the other of the first and second panels. The panel stop is configured to pivotably mount within a recess of a frame member of the first panel and pivot between a first stop position configured to maintain the first and second panels in a fully closed position, a second stop position configured to limit sliding of the first and second panels beyond a preset partially-open position, and a third position substantially within the recess, the third position being configured to not restrict a range of motion of the first and second panels.
Support apparatus
A support apparatus comprising an engagement member having a plurality of walls integrally formed with each other and a support member. The support member includes a bracket member pivotably coupled to the engagement member and a leg member pivotably coupled to the bracket member. The bracket member comprises a plurality of fixing apertures corresponding to a fixing member extending from the engagement member. Each fixing aperture is configured to receive the fixing member. A pivot aperture is provided for receiving a pivot member which is configured to be received by a pivot support positioned on the engagement member. A biasing member is coupled to the pivot member such that the pivot member is movable with the bracket member away from the engagement member and such that the bracket member is rotatable when the pivot member is moved away from the engagement member. The leg member is adjustably extendable.
Visual lockdown notification and alert device, electronic door stop remote broadcast device, silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stop, and sound-activated remote release electronic door stop
Electronic door stop devices, an electronic door stop remote broadcast device, and a visual lockdown notification and alert device are disclosed. The electronic door stop devices include a sound-activated remote release electronic door stop that automatically detects a particular sound and releases a propped open door and a silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stop that provides automatic closing of propped open doors, by both silent broadcast signal and particular sound detection. The electronic door stop remote broadcast device broadcasts a wireless data signal to multiple silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stops to automatically and concurrently release any doors propped open by the silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stops. The visual lockdown notification and alert device flashes an LED visual alert in silent mode or sound-activated.
Electronic door stop remote broadcast device, silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stop, and sound-activated remote release electronic door stop
Electronic door stop devices and an electronic door stop remote broadcast device are disclosed. The electronic door stop devices include a sound-activated remote release electronic door stop that automatically detects a particular sound and closes a propped open door and a silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stop that provides automatic closing of propped open doors, by both silent broadcast signal and particular sound detection. The electronic door stop remote broadcast device broadcasts a wireless data signal to multiple silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stops to automatically and concurrently close any doors propped open by the silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stops. The sound-activated remote release electronic door stop is activated by an emergency alarm sound that a receiver of the sound-activated remote release electronic door stop can distinguish from other sounds and release the door automatically to achieve closure for fire integrity and intruder prevention.
Portable Door Securement Device
A portable door securement device is provided having a member extending from a first end engaged to a doorknob of a swinging door or endwall of a sliding door. A second end of the securement device is configured to be engaged with a support surface adjacent the door, to prevent opening of the door in a direction toward the engaged member.
