Definitions
- a child safety gate A child safety gate
- the present invention relates to a child safety gate for blocking a passage, particularly for children and pets-
- Each side of the gate is defined by a vertical side edge, one of the side edges being connected to one side of the passage, the other side edge of the gate being, by means of a child proof locking device, removably mounted and locked against the other side of the passage, when it is desired to restrain the passage, and released therefrom when it is desired to open the passage.
- Child safety gates of the above kind are commonly known and used, particularly in households where small children are present, and where there is a high demand for child safety.
- the gate will ensure not only that the children cannot in ⁇ jure themselves in stairways or in other places where it is not possible to permanently watch the children, but- will also ensure that the children can be kept away from places where they may damage fragile goods. This also applies to leisure sites, camping grounds and the like. The same de ⁇ mands are often raised also for domestic animals.
- the object of the present invention is, therefore, to pro- vide a child safety gate of the kind mentioned by way of introduction, where the above drawbacks have been elimina ⁇ ted.
- This object will be achieved by a gate having the characteristic features set forth in claim 1.
- the gate according to the invention is also more attractiv from an aesthetical point of view, particularly when not i use, since it requires less space. There is also the advan tage that the gate is always present when need should aris to use it.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a gate according to the invention shown in an open position.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the same side view as Fig. 1, but with the gate in a closed position.
- Fig. 3 is a top view of the gate according to Fig. 2
- Fig. 4 is a top view of an anchoring device having a spe ⁇ cial locking function for the gate shown in Figs. 1-3.
- Fig. 5 is a cross-section taken along line V-V of Fig. 4.
- Figs. 6 and 7 are side views of a child proof locking de ⁇ vice for the gate of Figs. 1-3, shown in an open and a closed position, respectively.
- Figs. 8-12 illustrate a number of alternative embodiments of the locking device of the gate and of the design of the gate.
- Fig. 1 shows a gate, generally depicted 1, for blocking a passage 2 which is sidewardly limited by substantially ver tically oriented side elements, which in the example shown consist of a door frame 2a which is oriented adjacent a wall element 2b, and a door frame 2c which is oriented ad ⁇ jacent a wall element 2d, respectively.
- the gate according to Fig. 1 consists of a substantially plane and substantially vertically oriented gate element 3 in the form of a rectangular roll-type screening made of a natural or synthetic material, in the embodiment shown in the form of a curtain made of a cloth or a more or less fine-meshed woven fabric, see especially Fig. 2, which cur tain is, at its vertical end edges 3a and 3b, respectively attached to a respective one of two wooden uprights 4 and 5, respectively, which uprights form curtain supporting vertical side edges of the gate 1.
- the upright 4 is ancho ⁇ red against the wall element 2b
- the upright 5 is releasably attachable and lockable to the wall element 2d by means of a child proof locking device, which is shown in more detail in Figs. 6 and 7.
- the upright 5 has in its uppermost end a pin 5a to be in ⁇ troduced into a circular locking loop 6a which is stati ⁇ onary mounted in the wall element 2d.
- the upright 5 has also a lower pin 5b to be introduced into a circular loc- king loop 6b which is stationary mounted in the wall ele ⁇ ment 2d.
- a coil spring 7 is wound around the pin 5b such that the pin 5b and thereafter the pin 5a can be introduced into their respective locking loop 6a and 6b only if the spring 7 has been compressed, see Fig. 7.
- the upright 4 has its upper end rigidly connected to a horizontal circular plate 8 by means of screws 9a and 9b.
- the plate 8 and its sus ⁇ pended upright 4 is rotatably mounted on a roll-type shaft 11 against an anchoring device in the form of a wall brac ⁇ ket 10a.
- the wall bracket 10a is attached to the wall ele ⁇ ment 2b by means of screws 10b, 10c.
- the plate 8 is lockable in a desired angular position in relation to the wall bracket 10a by means of a key pin 12 which is introducable (see arrow 13) into a selected one of a plurality of locking holes 14 in the wall bracket 10a, and then into a selected one of a plurality of locking ho ⁇ les 15 in the plate 8.
- a key pin 12 which is introducable (see arrow 13) into a selected one of a plurality of locking holes 14 in the wall bracket 10a, and then into a selected one of a plurality of locking ho ⁇ les 15 in the plate 8.
- Fig. 2 shows only two pf the holes 14 of the wall bracket 10a and two of the holes 15 of the plate 8.
- the lower end of the upright 4 is rotatably mounted on a spring-biassed shaft 16 which is mounted in a wall bracket lOd.
- a spring 17 is mounted in the upright 4 between the shaft 16 and a spring anchoring plate 18 in the upright 4 in order to give a desired roll force when unrolling the cloth 3.
- the gate element 3 shown in Fig. 2 has a length correspon- ding to a standard size such that it, when completely un ⁇ rolled between its end edges 3a and 3b, becomes stretched to thereby prevent any passage through the opening 2.
- the safety gate 3 is made of a curtain cloth, this can be readily fastened to its uprights 4 and 5 by loosely intro- ducing each of them into a separate pleat or the like (not shown) being formed in each side edge 3a and 3b, respec ⁇ tively.
- the unrolling has to be braked, for instance by means of the key pin 12, as has been described above, or by means of any brake device (not shown) having a similar function as the key pin lock 12.
- the gate element 3 extends past any obstacle, for in ⁇ stance the door frames 2a and 2c (see Figs. 2 and 3), there may be provided supporting means, for example guidin pins 19 or 20, on the gate element 3 in order to hold this in place against the door frames 2a and 2c.
- supporting means for example guidin pins 19 or 20, on the gate element 3 in order to hold this in place against the door frames 2a and 2c.
- stop means may for instance be in the form of snap fasteners 21 see Figs. 2 and 3, or in the form of locking key pins, not shown, or in the form of other brake devices, not shown, for instance of friction-type, which can be biassed, for instance by means of a knob.
- the gate in accordance with the invention may be adjust ⁇ ably anchored to the passage 2, but may alternatively be permanently or removably suspended at the passage 2. Any one of the side edges 4, 5 of the gate element 3 may be used as anchoring means against the wall.
- Figs. 8 - 12 illustrate various types of gate elements and of child proof lockings of the gate.
- Fig. 8 shows a gate element in the shape of a cloth, one end edge 3b of which is twice folded to form a reinforced edge piece 3c, which is provided with lock loops 22, whic can be locked against a corresponding hook 23 in the wall element 2d.
- a lock means having a belt 24 and a push button 25 is shown replacing the locking means 22 and 23.
- Fig. 9 shows a gate element in the form of a net 26, for instance of a metal or plastic wire, where the net is loc ked against the wall element 2d by means of a hook 27, 28 or nail (screw) 29 being mounted in the wall element 2d.
- Fig. 10 shows a lock similar to that of Figs. 6 and 7, but with the gate element in the form of lamellas or coils 30, which are interconnected at short distance from each othe by means of wires 31.
- Fig. 11 shows a child proof locking of a lamella gate by means of loop 32 and hook 33.
- Fig. 12 shows, similarly to Fig. 9, a gate element of net 26, but with a,bar-type locking according to Figs. 6-7.
- the gate element is suitably provided with reinforcing means.
- the reinforcing mea may suitably consist of metal wires 35 or the like, see Fig. 2, which may for instance be woven into the upper an lower edge of the cloth.
