Inventors:

James A. Burkart - Reston VA

International Classification:

E06B 332

US Classification:

49463

Abstract:

Disclosed are a bumper retaining device (20) and a latch holding device (40) which facilitate the safe use of pressure mounted security gates (10) commonly used for children or pets. The bumper retaining device (20) consists of a plate (22) with a hollow (24) on the upper side, configured to receive and retain frictional bumpers (14) of the security gate (10). Two bumper retaining devices (20), one on each side of a passageway, are to be positioned to receive two upper bumpers (14). The bumper retaining device (20) keeps the security gate (10) from being dislodged. A latch holding device (40) keeps the latch (30), which controls width and pressure of the security gate (10), from falling out of adjustment. A kit is assembled of the inventive devices for easy installation by a home owner.
