The present lift lock includes a slide having feet and a slot between the feet, where such slide further includes an interior generally full length wall for acting as a stop, and where such slide further includes gripping ribs that increase in width from the front end of the slide to the rear end of the slide.

Gated barrier with lift lock

A manually pullable out and automatically retractable flexible barrier apparatus for engagement between first and second surfaces having a base that includes a foot, a head, and a spool portion between the foot and the head that spools in and spools out the flexible barrier. A coil spring is wound about a nonrotatable support tube in the spool, is fixed to the top of the nonrotatable support tube, and is further fixed to a lower cap in the spool that rotates with the spool. An upper cap in the spool, rotating with the spool, is lockable and unlockable to a rotating control knob in the head.

Retractable flexible gate

A baby changing pad apparatus having a locator, locator receiver, and non-skid grip combination for engaging the baby changing pad apparatus to a first surface. The locator receiver includes a quick connect first portion engaged to the baby changing pad apparatus. The locator includes a quick connect second portion engagable between the quick connect first portion and first surface. The non-skid grip may engage the first surface with or without the locator engaged to the locator receiver.

The present gated barrier includes a visual indicator to show the end user one or more features of the gate barrier such as how to set up the gated barrier, whether the frame of the barrier is true and square, or whether the barrier frame has been set up with sufficient pressure between, for example, two door jambs.

Gated barrier with visual indicator

A keeper apparatus engaged to the lower free end swinging corner portion of a gate, not to either of the upper and lower corner portions having the axis on which the gate swings, and not to the upper free end swinging corner portion where the gate has a main latch. The keeper apparatus joins the shortened ends of a horizontal gate support member and a vertical gate support member where, prior to engaging the keeper apparatus on the shortened ends, such intentionally manufactured shortened ends are free and spaced from each other.

Keeper apparatus to maintain gate in plane with frame

The present lift lock is employed on a gate that is swingable and liftable on a first axis. In a first position the lift lock is on the first axis and in a blocking position that prevents the gate from being lifted relative to a barrier having the gate. The lift lock is slideable away from the first position on the axis to a second position away from the axis where the lift lock is in an unblocking position, thereby permitting the gate to be lifted on the axis. The lift lock snaps into and out of the second position.

The present soft barrier includes sheeting and a frame. The frame includes longitudinal and lateral support members. The sheeting is in a relaxed state when the lateral support members are in a retracted state. The sheeting is in a taut state when the lateral support members are in an extended fixed state. The sheeting may be in either the relaxed state or taut state when the longitudinal support members are in a retracted state or an extended state. A first adjustment mechanism for increasing or decreasing the longitudinal length of the barrier is a quick slide mechanism. A second adjustment mechanism for finely increasing or finely decreasing the longitudinal length of the barrier is a rotatable mechanism.

Soft barrier

The present pet ramp apparatus includes a base, a ramp, and a support between the base and the ramp. The base and ramp are swingably engaged to each other. The support and ramp are swingably engaged to each other. The support is removably engaged to the base at spaced apart receptors, where changing the receptors changes the height of the upper end of the ramp and further changes the angle of inclination of the ramp.

Pet ramp apparatus

The present barrier includes barrier portions engaged to each other by a junction apparatus that includes first and second upper connectors and first and second lower connectors. A junction support member extends between the upper connectors and lower connectors. The junction support member is spaced from and adjacent to the upper connectors. A bridge connector bridges the spacing between the upper end of the junction support member and the upper connectors.

Barrier having upside down joint

A gated barrier that includes a barrier frame first portion, a barrier frame second portion, and a gate between the barrier frame first and second portions. The barrier frame first and second portions include first and second threshold portions that are spaced apart from each other and held in such a spaced apart orientation by a rigid elongate piece. The gated barrier further includes a latch apparatus, panels, and junction apparatus between the panels.

Gated barrier

A two part pressurized hand wheel for letting the user know when a gated pressurized barrier has been set up properly. One part of the hand wheel, when turned, begins to cover up a red portion of the second part. When the red portion is completely covered up, such is the signal to the user that the latch of the gated pressurized barrier is properly aligned with the latch receiver of the gated pressurized barrier.
