Abstract
A security door brace is provided for bearing against an inside surface of a barrier door in order to prevent non-permitted, inward opening of the door. The security door brace carries one or more elongated pin means for cooperative engagement with one or more slotted receiving means formed within a cooperating mounting plate that is firmly affixed, preferably via conventional screw fastener means, to a portion of the floor underlying the intended operable position of the security door brace.
Claims20
A security system for intended use in association with a barrier door, comprising:
- (a.) a door brace carrying an elongate pin means at a bottom surface thereof, said elongate pin means being greater in a dimension running lengthwise with said door brace than in a dimension running across said door brace;
- (b.) a mounting plate carrying a slotted receiving means through a top surface thereof, and providing a first and a second plurality of fastener holes for affixation of said mounting plate to a floor, said first and second plurality of fastener holes offset from said slotted receiving means, said first plurality of fastener holes further offset from said second plurality of fastener holes, said slotted receiving means being greater in a dimension running lengthwise with said mounting plate than in a dimension running across said mounting plate;
- (c.) said elongate pin means cooperatively engageable with said slotted receiving means.
A security door brace and mounting plate system for intended use with a barrier door, comprising:
- (a.) a door brace comprising polypropylene sulfide reinforced with glass fiber, carrying an elongate pin means at a bottom surface thereof, said elongate pin means being greater in a dimension running lengthwise with said door brace than in a dimension running across said door brace;
- (b.) a mounting plate comprising polypropylene sulfide reinforced with glass fiber, carrying a slotted receiving means through a top surface thereof, and providing a first and a second plurality of fastener holes for affixation of said mounting plate to a floor, said first and second plurality of fastener holes offset from said slotted receiving means, said first plurality of fastener holes further offset from said second plurality of fastener holes, said slotted receiving means being greater in a dimension running lengthwise with said mounting plate than in a dimension running across said mounting plate;
- (c.) said elongate pin means cooperatively engageable with said slotted receiving means.
A method for use of a security system for intended use in association with a barrier door, the security system comprising:
- (a.) a door brace carrying an elongate pin means at a bottom surface thereof, said elongate pin means being greater in a dimension running lengthwise with said door brace than in a dimension running across said door brace;
- a mounting plate carrying a slotted receiving means through a top surface thereof, and providing first and second means for affixation of said mounting plate to a floor, said first and second means for affixation of said mounting plate to a floor being offset from said slotted receiving means, said first means for affixation of said mounting plate to a floor further offset from said second means for affixation of said mounting plate to a floor, said slotted receiving means being greater in a dimension running lengthwise with said mounting plate than in a dimension running across said mounting plate;
- said elongate pin means cooperatively engageable with said slotted receiving means;
- the method comprising:
- (b.) setting said door brace into said mounting plate by aligning and downwardly engaging said elongate pin means of said door brace with said slotted receiving means of said mounting plate.
