Abstract
A child safety barrier for positioning across an opening includes a frame and a gate which is hinged to the frame and can be swung from a closed position where the gate lies in the plane of the frame to an open position out of the plane, the gate including an upper rod having a closing mechanism for locking the gate in a closed position or unlocking the gate to allow it to be opened. The closing mechanism includes a pivotable handle and a spring-loaded locking button which cooperates with the handle to retain it in a position wherein it locks the gate in a closed position.
Claims8
A child safety barrier which is positionable in an opening between two supports, said barrier comprising:
- a frame which includes a lower horizontally-extending base member and a vertical pillar attached thereto, said frame defining an imaginary plane,
- an openable gate which is connected to said frame and is pivotable relative thereto between an open and a closed position, said gate including an upper rod having a closing mechanism, and
- said closing mechanism comprising a handle pivotal about an axis between a locked position for locking the gate in a closed position in the imaginary plane and an unlocked position for opening the gate out of the imaginary plane, said handle including a sidewall having a through hole, and a spring-loaded blocking button for securing the handle in locked position which can be pressed out of said through hole to release the handle for opening the gate.
