Door security apparatus

Claim 2

A door security apparatus in combination with a door framework mounting a door therewithin, the door framework includes parallel side legs mounting the door between the side legs, wherein the apparatus comprises, an elongate, longitudinally aligned latch bar, the latch bar including an upper terminal edge spaced from and parallel a lower terminal edge, and a plurality of "L" shaped lock bars mounted to the upper terminal edge spaced apart a predetermined spacing, wherein the lock bars are arranged parallel relative to one another, and the latch bar includes a central sleeve, the sleeve including a plurality of sleeve bores directed therethrough spaced apart a predetermined spacing, and the latch bar further including a right latch bar plate and a left latch bar plate telescopingly received within opposed ends of the sleeve, each latch bar plate includes a series of threaded latch bar bores spaced apart the predetermined spacing, and a fastener directed through the sleeve and each latch bar plate to secure each latch bar plate to the sleeve, and a plurality of yokes mounted to the door, and each of said yokes spaced apart the predetermined spacing and each of said yokes configured to receive a single lock bar of said plurality of lock bars, and a plurality of "L" shaped positioning clips mounted to the door framework on opposed sides of the door, each clip including a projecting plate projecting orthogonally relative to the door, and each projecting plate including a positioning notch formed along an exterior edge of each plate to receive the latch bar therewithin.

Claim 3

An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein each "L" shaped lock bar includes a lock bar sleeve orthogonally mounted to the latch bar, and each sleeve includes a plurality of sleeve openings spaced apart the predetermined spacing, and each "L" shaped lock bar includes a vertical leg, including a plurality of vertical leg threaded bores spaced apart the predetermined spacing, wherein each sleeve receives a fastener through the sleeve into the respective "L" shaped lock bar.

Claim 4

A door security apparatus in combination with a door framework, the door framework including spaced parallel side legs and a door mounted within the door framework, the door including an internally threaded door bore, and an elongate, longitudinally aligned latch bar including a medial bore directed medially through the latch bar, and a door fastener directed through the medial bore and received within the door bore to permit pivotment of the latch bar relative to the door, and the latch bar including an upper terminal edge spaced from and parallel a lower terminal edge, the upper terminal edge including a right latch bar leg orthogonally mounted thereto, and the lower terminal end including a left latch bar leg orthogonally mounted thereto, wherein the right and left latch bar legs are spaced apart a predetermined distance, and a right and left yoke mounted to the door spaced apart the predetermined distance, wherein each yoke defines a receiving column between the yoke and the door, wherein the right yoke receives the right latch bar leg and the left yoke receives the left latch bar leg, and a right handle removably mounted adjacent a right terminal edge of the latch bar, and a left handle mounted fixedly to the latch bar adjacent the left terminal edge of the latch bar, and the right handle including a right handle bore and the left handle including a left handle bore, and a plurality of leg boss bores directed through the latch bar adjacent the left handle to receive the right handle, and the right handle including a right handle aperture and the left handle including a left handle aperture, wherein the right and left apertures are coaxially aligned relative to one another when the right handle is positioned and secured in the leg boss bores, and a latch pin positioned through the right and left apertures when the right handle is positioned within the leg boss bores.

Claim 5

A door security apparatus in combination with a door framework, the door framework including spaced parallel side legs and a door mounted within the door framework, the door including an internally threaded door bore, and an elongate, longitudinally aligned latch bar including a medial bore directed medially through the latch bar, and a door fastener directed through the medial bore and received within the door bore to permit pivotment of the latch bar relative to the door, and the latch bar including an upper terminal edge spaced from and parallel a lower terminal edge, the upper terminal edge including a right latch bar leg orthogonally mounted thereto, and the lower terminal end including a left latch bar leg orthogonally mounted thereto, wherein the right and left latch bar legs are spaced apart a predetermined distance, and a right and left yoke mounted to the door spaced apart the predetermined distance, wherein each yoke defines a receiving column between the yoke and the door, wherein the right yoke receives the right latch bar leg and the left yoke receives the left latch bar leg, and a right handle removably mounted adjacent a right terminal edge of the latch bar, and a left handle mounted fixedly to the latch bar adjacent the left terminal edge of the latch bar, and the right handle including a right handle bore and the left handle including a left handle bore, and a plurality of leg boss bores directed through the latch bar adjacent the left handle to receive the right handle, and the right handle including a right handle aperture and the left handle including a left handle aperture, wherein the right and left apertures are coaxially aligned relative to one another when the right handle is positioned and secured in the leg boss bores, and a latch pin positioned through the right and left apertures when the right handle is positioned within the leg boss bores.

Claim 6

An apparatus as set forth in claim 3 including a right latch bar clip mounted to the door framework adjacent the right latch bar leg, and a left latch bar clip mounted to the door framework adjacent the left latch bar leg, and the right and left latch bar clips each including an "L" shaped support surface defined by a predetermined width, the predetermined width equal to a further predetermined width defined by the latch bar, and each "L" shaped support surface including a respective right and left abutment flange extending above each respective "L" shaped support surface to secure the latch bar between the respective right and left abutment flanges and the door framework.
