  • Detent for Limiting the Motion of a Door Hinge
    Patent number: 10494844
    Abstract: A security apparatus that functions as a detent which inhibits the motion of a door hinge. This security apparatus includes a back panel, a stop bracket, and a slotted hole. The back panel is a rigid plate that functions as a bar that inhibits the motion of a door. The back panel has a first panel edge and a second panel edge. The first panel edge and the second panel edge are edged are located at opposite ends of the back panel, forming it's the physical boundaries of the back panel. The stop bracket is a rigid beam that is connected to the first panel edge of the back panel. This enables the stop bracket to limit the distance a door hinge may travel through the slotted hole. The slotted hole is cut into the back panel from the second panel edge to next to the stop bracket.
