Definitions
- the present invention relates to security barriers.
- the invention relates to adjustable security barriers.
- Security doors and screens are often made to measure as houses rarely have perfect, standard sized door/window frames. This results in the door window frames having to be measured on site and the security doors and screens later being manufactured in a factory according to the measurements.
- a disadvantage of the factory produced screens mentioned above is that, as the doors are being made to order, the manufacturing process is complex and manufacturing costs are generally high.
- the manufacturing process is considerably slower than an assembly line process. Additionally, the process is time consuming as the door frame, for example, must first be measured on site, the door manufactured off site, then later installed.
- Doors and screens are typically not manufactured on site as bulky machinery is required for manufacturing. Manufacture of security doors and screens, for example, is not well suited to the do-it-yourself market, as the correct tools required are very expensive and not typically available to regular do-it-yourself consumers. Additionally, the manufacturing process is complex and often requires angled joints of high precision, which often cannot be reliably achieved by a do-it-yourself consumer.
- the prior art includes security barriers that attempt to avoid some of the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the prior art includes adjustable security screen doors that use adjustable side and top stiles and are targeted to the do-it-yourself consumer.
- These security doors comprise a frame and grille/screen that is factory manufactured and a vertical and a horizontal stile that enables adjustment.
- the vertical and horizontal stiles are attached by the DIY person to the frame of the security door on site using rivets and are used to cover small gaps between the security door and a door frame.
- Such prior art doors can fit door frames having widths generally between 812-828mm and heights between 2030-2044mm.
- a disadvantage of the above described adjustable prior art doors is that the amount of adjustment is small, generally having a maximum of 8- 16mm. This is at least partly due to the fact that the stiles are decorative and attached to the frame of the door. Additionally, as the stiles are attached to the frame of the door, they are clearly visible, which negatively affects the visual appearance of the door as the frame is not made of a single piece. Another disadvantage is that the security door grill is situated off centre to the door frame.
- an object of the present invention is to overcome or alleviate one or more limitations of the prior art including providing improved security barriers and to reduce installation costs.
- the present invention resides in a system for providing a security barrier, comprising:
- a first side including a channel
- a second side including a collar
- a connector having a first end and a second end, said first end comprising a clamp connected to said collar of said second side, and said second end comprising a wedging means positioned inside said channel of said first side;
- first side and said second side are connected together to define an assembled corner of said security barrier.
- an axis of said channel of said first side and an axis of said collar of said second side are substantially perpendicular.
- said first side and said second side both comprise extruded material.
- said first side and said second side both comprise an inner lip and an outer lip;
- said inner lip includes internal support means for supporting an inner barrier panel.
- said wedging means comprises a u-shaped wedging plate have a first end and a second end, both first and second ends for insertion into said channel of said first side.
- said first end and said second end of said wedging plate both have serrated edges.
- an end of said first side is cut approximately perpendicular to said axis of said channel of said first side and an end of said second side is cut approximately perpendicular to said axis of said collar of said second side.
- said first side and said second side both include a channel and a collar.
- a cross section of said first side and a cross section of said second side are substantially identical.
- the present invention resides in a security barrier, comprising:
- an outer frame including four corners, each corner of said four corners comprising:
- a first side including a channel, an inner lip and an outer lip
- a second side including a collar, an inner lip and an outer lip; a connector having a first end and a second end, said first end comprising a clamp connected to said collar of said second side, and said second end comprising a wedging means positioned inside said channel of said first side; and
- an inner barrier panel positioned between said inner lip and said outer lip of said first side and between said inner lip and said outer lip of said second side;
- the present invention resides in a method of providing a security barrier comprising:
- FIG. 1a shows a side view of a connection means for connecting a first side and a second side according to an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 1b shows a front view of the connection means of FIG. 1
- FIG. 2 shows a front view of the connection means of FIG. 1 connecting a first side and a second side according to an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 3a shows a cross section of the second side with an attached inner screen according to an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 3b shows a front view of the second side with an attached inner screen of FIG. 3a;
- FIG. 4 shows an exploded front view of a security barrier according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 shows a flow diagram of a method of providing a security barrier according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Embodiments of the present invention comprise an adjustable security door. Elements of the invention are illustrated in concise outline form in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are necessary to the understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, but so as not to clutter the disclosure with excessive detail that will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present description.
