Patent number: 10113335Abstract: The present latch apparatus includes a swinging piece having first and second independent latches or sliders sliding in first and second slots. The first and second sliders slide independently of each other. The first and second sliders engage an undersurface of an extension of a first object such as a gate. If either the first or second slider is engaged on the undersurface, the swinging piece is locked and is not swingable such that the first object such as the gate cannot itself swing away from a second object such as a barrier section. Only when each of the first and second sliders has been slid beyond the undersurface can the swinging piece swing to permit the first object such as the gate to be released and thus swingable itself relative to the second object such as the barrier section.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Carlson Pet Products, Inc.Inventors: Mark A. Flannery, Brian M. McMahon, Caleb Summers, Brian G. Linehan

Patent number: 10091970Abstract: The present wire enclosure includes a door formed of wire and a wall formed of wire. The door includes a door catch. The wall includes a wall catch. The respective catches engage and disengage each other through the employment of a vertical slide having the door catch. A finger receptor when pulled up in turn pulls up the vertical slide to disengage the catches. When in a down position, the finger receptor prevents the vertical slide from being pulled up.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Carlson Pet Products, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.
