Abstract
A flexible net-like covering for the doorway of a recreational vehicle to prevent occupants or objects from falling through the accidentally opened door. The covering, carried by a roller biased to a rolled condition and positioned above the recreational vehicle doorway, is manually extendable downwardly to cover the doorway. The sides of the covering provide fasteners movably carried in channels positioned on the sides of the doorway to maintain the net in operative position covering the door against applied forces.
Claims1
A safety barrier for the doorway of a recreational vehicle comprising, in combination:
- a flexible barrier net of configuration similar to and size slightly greater than a recreational vehicle doorway to be serviced, the barrier net having spacedly aligned in parallel rows along the side edges thereof
- plural fasteners each having a thinner body portion with means of attachment to the barrier net and extending laterally outwardly from the barrier net to carry thicker lateralmost fastening portions slidably engagable within lateral guide channels;
- an elongate roller fastenably carrying the top of the barrier net and rollably storing the net, said roller
- being rotatable against bias to allow unrolling of the barrier net, maintainable at a pre-determined partially unrolled position, and re-rollable by reason of said bias upon pre-determined manual manipulation, and
- being rotatably carried by spacing opposed brackets supported on a recreational vehicle somewhat above and laterally of a doorway to be serviced to position the barrier net for potential extension over the doorway therebelow;
- and
- paired opposed lateral guide channels carried by a recreational vehicle parallel to each other and at a spaced distance outwardly adjacent the vertical peripheral sides of a recreational vehicle doorway to be serviced to accept the barrier net therebetween,
- said lateral guide channels each having a rigid body defining parallel elongate fastener channels extending the length thereof, each fastening channel having an inner larger body portion communicating with smaller outer portion in turn communicating with the surface of the guide body facing the doorway to be serviced, to slidably receive and maintain fasteners carried by the sides of the barrier net.
