Device for preventing a wheelchair or a walker from passing through a doorway

A device for preventing at least one of a wheelchair and a walker from passing through a doorway, wherein the wheelchair and the walker includes a frame and the doorway defines a first predetermined width and a first predetermined height, and the frame defines an attachment point for attaching thereto the device, the device comprising:

• an upwardly-extending barrier, and at least one coupling for securing the barrier to the attachment point on the frame such that the barrier extends upwardly from the frame, wherein the barrier defines a second predetermined width and a second predetermined height upon attachment by the at least one coupling to the attachment point of the frame, and at least one of the second predetermined height and the second predetermined width of the device is greater than the first predetermined height and the first predetermined width, respectively, of the doorway, to thereby prevent the barrier and frame attached thereto from passing through the doorway, wherein the barrier defines two axially-elongated upwardly-extending members laterally spaced relative to each other, and a-lateral member extending-between and coupled to the upwardly-extending members.

A device for preventing at least one of a wheelchair and a walker from passing through a doorway, wherein the wheelchair and the walker includes a frame and the doorway defines a first predetermined height, and the frame defines an attachment point for attaching thereto the device, the device comprising:

• first means extending upwardly from the frame and defining a second predetermined height upon attachment to the attachment point of the frame greater than the first predetermined height of the doorway, for contacting the doorway upon movement of the frame therein and preventing passage of the frame through the doorway;
• and
• second means for securing the first means to the frame.
