  • Patent number: 11686150
    Abstract: The present lift lock is employed on a gate that is swingable and liftable on a first axis. In a first position the lift lock is on the first axis and in a blocking position that prevents the gate from being lifted relative to a barrier having the gate. The lift lock is slideable away from the first position on the axis to a second position away from the axis where the lift lock is in an unblocking position, thereby permitting the gate to be lifted on the axis. The lift lock snaps into and out of the second position.

  • Patent number: 10993544
    Abstract: A one hand swing down bed rail control having a handle with a rotating portion. The rotating portion draws in the proximal ends of first and second lines that in turn draw in the distal ends of the first and second lines that in turn disengage first and second catches between a frame of the bed rail apparatus and a pair of legs of the bed rail apparatus, where a bed rail of the bed rail apparatus is positioned adjacent to a side of a bed and the legs of the bed rail apparatus extend between a mattress and a mattress support. Once the first and second catches are disengaged, the bed rail may swing down.
