  • Patent number: 5664814
    Abstract: A portable lock for preventing a door from being opened from the outside. The portable lock has a body formed from two symmetric covers with two spring-biased pivoting handles and a slidable adjustment rod protruding from the assembled body. The adjustment rod has a plurality of holes along its length and an engagement member at an outer end. The engagement member is adapted to engage the strike of a door jamb. The length of the rod is adjusted so as to position the body of the portable door lock firmly against an inner side of the door and jamb. The handles are operated by a user to adjust the length of, and to lockingly engage the adjustment rod with protuberances provided at an inner end of the handles. The portable door lock can be adjusted to different door thicknesses. The handles can be additionally secured against pivoting by the insertion of a U-shaped member into the body of the portable lock.

  • Patent number: 5539954
    Abstract: An abutment swivel doorstop has a mounting plate mountable onto a door frame, a stop member pivotally and slidably mounted on the mounting plate, a biasing means for urging the stop member in the disengaged position, a keeper pivotally mounted on the mounting plate, and a latch mountable on a door which is hingedly mounted within the door frame. The stop member is rotatable between a door opening position and a door blocking position and slidable between a disengaged and engaged position. The keeper is rotatable relative to the stop member between a locked and an unlocked condition. The keeper has a cam for urging the stop member against the biasing means and into the engaged condition as the keeper rotates between the locked and unlocked conditions. As the keeper rotates between the locked and unlocked conditions, the stop member engages and disengages the mounting plate and the latch for locking and unlocking the door to the door frame.

  • Patent number: 4290635
    Abstract: There is provided a portable door lock having an elongated flat bar for insertion between a door and a door frame, a slide block on the flat bar, and a brace member which supports two spaced apart contact surfaces such that one surface can rest against the door and the other can rest against either the frame or the wall adjacent the frame. The brace member is pivotally mounted, and releasable means are provided to prevent the slide block from moving along the flat bar away from the door. The slide block thus maintains the brace member close to and against the door/frame surfaces.

  • Patent number: 4169619
    Abstract: A portable, lightweight security lock for doors comprising an elongate movable abutment member and an elongate catch member pivotally secured thereto. The abutment member has a laterally extending abutment portion for disposition in proximity with the door surface when such door is closed; the elongate catch member has a laterally extending catch portion which is insertable into the latch socket of a door jam. In a preferred embodiment the elongate movable abutment member includes a resilient pad on its forward surface, this to accommodate tolerances and deviations thereof in actual casement and lock installations. The elongate movable abutment member and elongate catch member are provided with inter-cooperating dog and teeth means which inter-engage selectively, depending upon the door installation involved, this so that need not be present pivotal movement between the two members when the movable abutment member is to be released from engagement with the door.

  • Patent number: 4043578
    Abstract: A door lock which can be slipped from the inside between the edge of a door and the jamb into the latch plate carried thereby and adjusted to engage the door and prevent inward swinging. It is made as a single assembly consisting of a narrow carrier strip which has a lug on its outer end for engaging the latch-receiving opening and a carriage slidable thereon which carries a pivoted locking lever having an outer end for engaging the inner face of the door and an inner end which has a restraining portion that is biased into engagement with the adjacent face of the carrier strip and which will engage the strip more firmly when inward pressure is exerted on the door. The carriage also carries a releasing lever for engaging the locking lever to swing it in a reverse direction to release the restrainer portion from the strip and permit inward sliding movement of the carriage to disengage the outer end of the locking lever from the inner face of the door.

  • Patent number: RE29162
    Abstract: A swivel bar is mounted on a door jamb to swing between a position in the path of the door to block its opening and a position retracted out of the path of door-opening movement. The stop bar can be held in door-blocking position by engagement of a rib-and-groove latch. The stop bar can be moved into latch-engaged position by swinging of a keeper to move cooperating cylindrical or edgewise cams relatively which movement shifts the stop bar into latched position in opposition to the force of a latch-releasing spring. .Iadd.
