Systems and methods for improving window safety
A system for improved window fall prevention provides removable attachment of a window screen frame to a window frame. Systems according to the disclosure provide removable attachment of a window screen frame to an anchor positioned in the window frame by means of a plurality of cables. The cables attach to the screen frame or rest against an exterior portion of the screen frame at an exterior end, are threaded through the screen frame, and include on an interior end, opposite the exterior end, a releasable attachment to the window frame anchor. The releasable attachment may be between a loop of cable formed at the interior end and the window frame anchor, where the window frame anchor may be a T-screw.
Low Profile, Garage Door Attachment, Which Deters Loose Debris From Entering the Contained Space
A low profile garage door attachment which deters loose debris from entering the contained space without unduly restricting movement in and out of said space is disclosed. The disclosed garage door attachment system and apparatus deters loose debris from entering the contained space by providing, in one embodiment, an easily attachable, robust netting system to block unwanted debris while the door is open. The garage door attachment may be configured to be low or small enough not to unduly restrict movement in and out of said space. The disclosed garage door attachment can also be configured to be retractable to a small size for storage when not in use.
RETRACTION BARRIER
A retraction barrier can abut objects in the environment for safeguarding. The retraction barrier has multiple longitudinal poles separate from each other and multiple lateral poles separate from each other. The longitudinal poles are connected with the longitudinal poles so that the retraction barrier forms a grid, making the retraction barrier capable of isolating something. The longitudinal poles and lateral poles are each a retractable pole. Lengths of the longitudinal poles and the lateral poles can be changed so that each end of the longitudinal poles and the lateral poles can abut an object in the environment, so the retraction barrier can be secured with objects of any dimensions and shapes. For storage of the retraction barrier, the lateral poles and the longitudinal poles are retracted, so that the volume of the retraction barrier is lessened for ease in carriage.
ILLUMINATED ROD HOLDER SYSTEM
A rod support device including an exterior flange, a female portion configured to receive a telescoping rod, and a male portion configured to extend beyond the surface of a wall. In one aspect, the male portion may include one or more circumferential ribs. In another aspect, the female portion may include a fastener aperture configured to receive a fastener, such as a screw. In yet another aspect, the rod support device may include a cap configured to cover the female portion when not in use. The rod support device may further include an illuminated rod with at least one light transmissive portion and a light source configured to emit light through the light transmissive portion.
Security device for commercial vehicles
A security device for a cargo van comprises a sheet metal grill stamped or laser cut to exhibit a plurality of regularly spaced apertures therethrough and surrounded by a solid border having a plurality of notches formed inward of the border into which are fitted clamp members for securing the grill in place against a window of the cargo van to inhibit break-ins and theft of articles carried by the van. The clamp members include U-shaped sockets adapted to cooperate with the notches formed in the border and base members for secure attachment of the clamp members to a frame of the window using self-tapping screws.
SAFETY GATE FOR PETS AND SMALL CHILDREN
A safety gate for preventing pets and small children from passing through an opening, the safety gate comprising: a collapsible frame for selective disposition in the opening, the collapsible frame comprising: a resizable base having a first end and a second end, the resizable base being configured so that the distance between the first end and the second end is adjustable; and first and second arms adjustably secured to the first and second ends of the resizable base, respectively, so as to be re-configurable between (i) a collapsed configuration wherein the first and second arms extend substantially parallel to one another and substantially parallel to the resizable base, and (ii) an expanded configuration wherein the first and second arms extend upright from the resizable base so that the collapsible frame comprises a substantially U-shaped configuration defining a space between the resizable base and the first and second arms; and a flexible barrier for adjustable mounting to the collapsible frame so as to prevent a pet or small child from passing through the space between the resizable base and the first and second arms.
BUG SCREEN
A bug screen frame assembly includes a front frame portion defining an exterior of the bug screen frame assembly, a rear frame portion received by the front frame portion, and a mesh screen captured between the front frame portion and the rear frame portion. One of the front frame portion and the rear frame portion includes a plurality of spikes extending toward the other of the front frame portion and the rear frame portion, and the other of the front frame portion and the rear frame portion comprises a groove that receives the spikes. The spikes extend through the mesh screen to retain the mesh screen. The overall assembly has a clean appearance with a self-tensioning screen without any visible clamps or screws.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING WINDOW SAFETY
A system for improved window fall prevention provides removable attachment of a window screen frame to a window frame. Systems according to the disclosure provide removable attachment of a window screen frame to an anchor positioned in the window frame by means of a plurality of cables. The cables attach to the screen frame or rest against an exterior portion of the screen frame at an exterior end, are threaded through the screen frame, and include on an interior end, opposite the exterior end, a releasable attachment to the window frame anchor. The releasable attachment may be between a loop of cable formed at the interior end and the window frame anchor, where the window frame anchor may be a T-screw.
Double Door Gate Apparatus
A double door gate apparatus having a frame, a main gate and a secondary gate, where the apparatus includes the unique features of a) a latch apparatus between uppermost framework members of the main gate and secondary gate, b) the latch apparatus being weighted to return to a normally closed position, c) each of the main gate and secondary gates having an inverted U-shaped piece engaging the bottommost horizontal member such that each of the main and secondary gates need to be lifted prior to being opened and prior to being closed, and d) a pair of hand wheels on a common shaft that work together to space the double door gate apparatus a desired distance from a vertical surface such as a wall.
