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.
Claims17
A gated barrier comprising:
- a) a frame, the frame having an upper end portion and a lower end portion;
- b) a gate engaged to the frame such that the gate is swingable relative to the frame about a first axis;
- c) the gate being liftable relative to the frame such that the gate is liftable on the first axis;
- d) the gate having a proximal end and a distal free end;
- e) the proximal end of the gate being disposed between the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the frame, the proximal end of the gate being pivotally engaged to the frame for the swinging of the gate relative to the frame;
- f) a slide on the gate, the slide having first and second positions;
- g) the slide in the first position being disposed on the first axis and between the proximal end of the gate and the upper end portion of the frame such that the proximal end of the gate is not liftable to the upper end portion of the frame;
- and
- h) the slide being slideable away from the first axis to the second position, the second position being an out-of-the-way position such that the proximal end of the gate is liftable to be adjacent to the upper end portion of the frame.

- g) the upper member having a proximal end section, the proximal end member having an upper end section, the proximal end section of the upper member being spaced from the upper end section of the proximal end member;
- h) a piece extending from the proximal end section of the upper member of the gate frame to the upper end section of the proximal end member of the gate frame, the piece extending downwardly from the upper member and inwardly from the proximal end member;
- and
- i) the gate being liftable relative to the frame such that the gate is liftable on the first axis and such that the upper end section of the proximal end member is raiseable to and lowerable from the upper end portion of the frame, wherein:
- a) the piece includes a slide, the slide having first and second positions;
- b) the slide in the first position being disposed on the first axis and between the proximal end of the gate and the upper end portion of the frame such that the proximal end of the gate is not liftable to the upper end portion of the frame;
- and c) the slide being slideable away from the first axis to the second position, the second position being an out-of-the-way position such that the proximal end of the gate is liftable.
