  • Door security and closing device
    Patent number: 10047545
    Abstract: A door security and closing device is provided that is mountable to the frame of a doorway. The device comprises a movable arm that is positioned within the swing path of a door to resist and close the door shut in response to pressure applied to the door, or input from the user. The movable arm has a retracted position, an extended position, and a stowed state. In the retracted position, the arm is in the swing path of the door and allows partial opening of the door. If pressure is applied to the arm once the door is opened, a force transducer registers the force applied and the arm is directed to close the door in response. The system is controlled by a processor, a motor controller, and an electric motor. Switches are provided to register the position of the arm, while user buttons allow operable movement thereof.
