Abstract: A very secure entry door barricade system is obtained with a specially configured elongated bar which extends generally horizontally across the width of a door. A hasp assembly, which is very firmly anchored to the building structure, includes a pivotally movable hasp adapted to selectively engage a hook portion of the bar. At the hinge edge, the elongated bar is very securely anchored by a conventional hinge pin which passes through a vertical aperture in the bar and back into its hinge assembly. An alternative configuration for double doors employs an elongated bar on each door, the bar pair being generally in horizontal alignment with respective hook portions situated in close proximity to receive a ring over both hook portions. The ring, when in place, thereby serves to closely limit the extent to which either or both doors can be opened.

Abstract: A low profile ratchet wrench which includes a handle, a housing shaped in one end of the handle, a ratchet drum rotatably mounted in the housing and provided with external teeth and a recessed tang drive, and a ratchet mechanism positioned in the housing and selectively engaging the drum teeth to facilitate rotation of the ratchet drum in either the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction responsive to rotation of the handle.

Abstract: A ratchet wrench having a top housing and a first handle cooperating with the top housing; a bottom housing with a cooperating second handle; a ratchet drum disposed within the top housing and the bottom housing and provided with exterior teeth and a pair of side bevel gears rotatably mounted on a shaft in opposed relationship inside the ratchet drum; a top bevel gear disposed inside the top housing and extending inside the ratchet drum to engage the side bevel gears; a drive bevel gear rotatably positioned in the bottom housing opposite the top bevel gear and also engaging the side bevel gears and carrying a socket drive extending from the bottom housing; top and bottom ratchet means mounted on the first and second handles, respectively and selectively cooperating with the teeth on the ratchet drum; and pivoting handle lock means for selectively allowing the first and second handles to be manipulated as one handle or separately, to operate the ratchet wrench in a more efficient manner.
