Abstract
An apparatus and a door securing system are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment includes an enclosed opening. A first end of the second segment is coupled to a second end of the first segment such that a plane of the second segment is perpendicular to a plane of the first segment. A first end of the third segment is coupled to a second end of the second segment such that a plane of the third segment is perpendicular to the plane of the second segment and parallel to the plane of the first segment. The third segment extends away from a back side of the second segment and the first segment extends away from a front side of the second segment. The third segment includes a lip formed on a second end of the third segment.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a first segment, wherein the first segment comprises an enclosed opening, wherein the enclosed opening comprises a circular center and opposing polygonal ends;
- a second segment, wherein a first end of the second segment is coupled to a second end of the first segment such that a plane of the second segment is perpendicular to a plane of the first segment;
- and
- a third segment, wherein a first end of the third segment is coupled to a second end of the second segment such that a plane of the third segment is perpendicular to the plane of the second segment and parallel to the plane of the first segment, wherein the third segment extends away from a back side of the second segment and the first segment extends away from a front side of the second segment, wherein the third segment comprises a lip formed on a second end of the third segment.
A door securing system comprising:
- a door security device placed on a door handle of a door and secured against a door jamb of the door, the door security device, comprising:
- a first segment, wherein the first segment comprises an enclosed opening, wherein the enclosed opening comprises a circular center and opposing polygonal ends;
- a second segment, wherein a first end of the second segment is coupled to a second end of the first segment such that a plane of the second segment is perpendicular to a plane of the first segment;
- and
- a third segment, wherein a first end of the third segment is coupled to a second end of the second segment such that a plane of the third segment is perpendicular to the plane of the second segment and parallel to the plane of the first segment, wherein the third segment extends away from a back side of the second segment and the first segment extends away from a front side of the second segment, wherein the third segment comprises a lip formed on a second end of the third segment;
- and
- a securing member located around the door handle between a front side of the first segment and a back of the door handle.
