Abstract
Abstract A security device for selectively blocking a parking space to prevent unauthorized use of the space. A stationary vertical support post is set into the pavement or ground outside and adjacent to the parking space. A movable barrier portion is pivotally secured to the support post to be swingable from an upper, vertical position in which the space is free for use by a vehicle, to a lower, horizontal position in which the barrier portion extends across a substantial portion of the parking space and blocks use thereof. Locking means may be provided to lock the barrier in either the horizontal or vertical positions, or both, to prevent unauthorized moving thereof.
