This application claims priority to provisional application 62/113,164 filed Feb. 6, 2015, entitled “Garage Defender.”
This disclosure relates to a system and method for securing a garage door.
Garage break-ins are a growing problem today. One of the reasons that garage-break-ins are increasing is because breaking into a typical garage is actually quite simple and fast. A garage door can be broken into in just 6 seconds. A burglar can easily slip a thin wire through the small gap between the frame and the top edge of the garage door. The wire can be bent to resemble the shape of a hook, which can be used to pull on the emergency release mechanism or drop down rope. After pulling the emergency release mechanism or the drop down rope, the garage door can be opened. A garage break-in may take an even shorter amount of time if the garage door has windows wherein the release mechanism or drop down rope can be visible. Some solutions exist, however, such solutions to this problem requires a permanent and complicated installation process.
As such it would be useful to have an improved system and method for securing a garage door.
A garage defense system is disclosed. The system can comprise a main plate, a brace, a thumb screw and a pair of fasteners. The main plate can comprise a slot and one or more pairs of first fastener orifices. The brace can comprise an indention and a pair of brace arms on opposite sides of the indention. Further, the indention can wrap around a connection arm, and can comprise a thumb screw orifice. Each of the brace arms can comprise a second fastener orifice. The second fastener orifices on the brace arms can be aligned with the first fastener orifices. Each fastener can pass within one of the first fastener orifices and the second fastener orifices, such that the brace is connected to the main plate.
Described herein is a system and method for securing a garage door. The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention as claimed and is provided in the context of the particular examples discussed below, variations of which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. In the interest of clarity, not all features of an actual implementation are described in this specification. It will be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation (as in any development project), design decisions must be made to achieve the designers' specific goals (e.g., compliance with system- and business-related constraints), and that these goals will vary from one implementation to another. It will also be appreciated that such development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the field of the appropriate art having the benefit of this disclosure. Similarly, any dimensions given are solely exemplary, i.e., offered to give a person having ordinary skill in the art an example implementation, and are not limiting. Accordingly, the claims appended hereto are not intended to be limited by the disclosed embodiments, but are to be accorded their widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
rope 106 can allow garage door 102 to open. Garage defense system 100 can be installed and/or mounted to connection arm 103 of garage door system 101. Moreover, garage defense system 100 can prevent release mechanism 105 and release rope 106 from being accessed through a gap 107 of garage door 102. Gap 107 can be a small opening above garage door 102.
Further, garage defense system 100 can comprise a main plate 108, a brace 109, and one or more fasteners 110. In one embodiment, garage defense system 100 can comprise of plastic materials. In some embodiment, garage defense system 100 can comprise of metal materials such as aluminum. Main plate 108 can be a thin platform that is used as a barrier between pulley 104 and gap 107. Brace 109 can be capable of securing main plate 108 with connection arm 103. Fasteners 110 can be any type of fastening mechanism, which can include but is not limited to clamp, screws, nuts, and bolts. Fasteners 110 can affix main plate 108 to connection arm 103. In a preferred embodiment, fasteners 110 can be a quick release fastener such as a snap-in fastener that can secure main plate 108 with brace 109 and connection arm 103.
In this embodiment, each fastener orifice 201 can be a circular shape orifice from the front face through the back face of main plate 108. Pairs of fastener orifice 201 can be aligned vertically along the middle section of main plate 108. Each pair of fastener orifice 201 can be at a certain distance to the left and right of the center of main plate 108, such that fastener orifice 201 can be aligned with brace 109. Moreover, pair of fastener orifice 201 can be equidistant from the side faces of main plate 108. Furthermore, fastener orifice 201 can allow main plate 108 to be adjusted for optimal fit, adjacent and flush to garage door pulley 104.
In this embodiment, the top and wider portion of main plate 108 can be the top face of main plate 108, which can comprise slot 202. Slot 202 can be an orifice through the center of the top face of main plate 108. Slot 202 can be used to create a passage for the joint of connection arm 103. Additionally, slot 202 can ensure that garage door pulley 104 can move with ease and not encounter garage defense system 100 when garage door system 101 expands and retracts during the opening and closing of garage door 102. In a preferred embodiment, slot 202 can comprise a substantially rectangular or square shape. Example dimensions of slot 202 can be 1 inch by 1 inch. In some embodiments, slot 202 can comprise varying vertical cross-sectional shapes and sizes that can allow enough space for the movement of the joint of connection arm 103 but still protects release mechanism 105 and release rope 106 from being engaged by any wire that is used by an individual to break into the garage.
In a preferred embodiment, brace 109 can comprise side plates 304 that have a distance of 0.60 inches in between the inner front edges of side plates 304. Each brace arm 302 can extend outwards from the inner front edges of side plates 304. Brace arms 302 can be perpendicular to side plates 304 and parallel to back plate 303. In a preferred embodiment, brace arms 302 can comprise a width of about 3 inches, a height of 4 inches, and a depth of 0.125 inches. Each brace arm 302 can comprise a hole 305. Hole 305 can be a circular orifice through the back and the front faces of brace arms 302. Hole 305 can house fasteners 110, when fasteners 110 are engaged. Hole 305 can be a certain distance away from the inner edge of brace arms 302, which correspond to fastener orifice 201. In a preferred embodiment, each brace arm 302 can comprise hole 305 that is roughly 1⅓ inches from the inner edge of each brace arms 302, and 2 inches from the bottom edge of each brace arm 302. Additionally, hole 305 can have a radius of around 0.29 inches in one embodiment. Such measurements are based on common dimensions of presently regularly manufactured garage doors, but can be adjusted by a person having ordinary skill in the art to perform substantially the same method as described in this disclosure on garage doors having different dimensions.
In some embodiments, each brace arm 302 can comprise hole 305 of varying size and locations, so long as hole 305 can correspond with fastener orifice 201.
In one embodiment, brace 109 can further comprise a thumb screw 306 and a clip 307. In a preferred embodiment, thumb screw 306 can be permanently attached to side plate 304 through a clip 307. Clip 307 can be attached to one of side plates 304. Clip 307 can be placed at the bottom of one of side plate 304, and near the junction of one of side plate 304 and one of brace arm 302. Further, thumb screw 306 can be attached at the top portion of clip 307.
Next, brace 109 can be aligned against the back face of connection arm 103 and the back face of main plate 108. The front face of back plate 303 can be positionable against the bottom face of connection arm 103, while the front face of brace arms 302 can be adjacent to the back face of main plate 108. The vertical position of brace 109 can be adjusted in relation to fastener orifice 201 of main plate 108 through sliding brace 109 within connection arm 103.
