Abstract

A door lock has a bottom surface, a bottom surface, a wedge portion extending upward from the bottom surface, and a projection member secured to the bottom surface. The projection member has a plurality of spikes defined therein that extend from a first side of the projection member in a direction away from the bottom surface.

Claims (53)

1. A door lock, comprising:

a bottom surface;

a wedge portion extending upward from the bottom surface at a first end thereof, the wedge portion comprising:

an angled top surface;

opposing angled sides extending from the angled top surface to the bottom surface; and

a substantially vertical back wall;

a horizontal member extending perpendicularly from the back wall;

a handle extending upwardly from the horizontal member at an end thereof; and

a projection member secured to the bottom surface, the projection member comprising a plurality of spikes defined therein and extending from a first side of the projection member in a direction away from the bottom surface;

wherein:

the projection member is secured to a first side of an engagement panel with at least one fastener;

a second side of the engagement panel and the bottom surface of the door lock respectively comprise corresponding fastening apparatus for temporarily securing the engagement panel to the bottom surface of the door lock;

the engagement panel is secured to the bottom surface of the door lock such that the spikes extend away from the bottom surface of the door lock; and

the corresponding fastening apparatus together form a hook-and-loop type fastener.

2. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the projection member is secured to the bottom surface of the door lock at a second end of the wedge portion, the second end being spaced apart from the first end.

3. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein the engagement panel further comprises a strip of sandpaper adhered to the first side thereof in an area devoid of the projection member.

4. The door lock of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the plurality of spikes each has a spiked edge angled in a first direction, and a second portion of the plurality of spikes each has a spiked edge angled in an opposing second direction.

5. The door lock of claim 1 , further comprising a knob extending into an area defined between the vertical wall, the horizontal member, and the handle.

6. The door lock of claim 5 , further comprising a pad adhered atop the horizontal member between the vertical wall and the handle.

7. The door lock of claim 1 , further comprising a pad adhered atop the horizontal member between the vertical wall and the handle.

8. A door lock, comprising:

a bottom surface;

a wedge portion extending upward from the bottom surface, the wedge portion comprising:

an angled top surface; and

opposing angled sides extending from the angled top surface to the bottom surface; and

a projection member secured to the bottom surface, the projection member comprising a plurality of spikes defined therein and extending from a first side of the projection member in a direction away from the bottom surface;

wherein:

the projection member is secured to a first side of an engagement panel with at least one fastener;

a second side of the engagement panel and the bottom surface of the door lock respectively comprise corresponding fastening apparatus for temporarily securing the engagement panel to the bottom surface of the door;

the engagement panel is secured to the bottom surface of the door lock such that the spikes extend away from the bottom surface of the door lock; and

the corresponding fastening apparatus together form a hook-and-loop type fastener.

9. The door lock of claim 8 , wherein the projection member is secured to the bottom surface at an end opposite the wedge portion.

10. A door lock, comprising:

a bottom surface;

a wedge portion extending upward from the bottom surface at a first end thereof, the wedge portion comprising:

an angled top surface;

opposing angled sides extending from the angled top surface to the bottom surface; and

a substantially vertical back wall;

a horizontal member extending perpendicularly from the back wall;

a handle extending upwardly from the horizontal member at an end thereof; and

a projection member secured to the bottom surface, the projection member comprising a plurality of spikes defined therein and extending from a first side of the projection member in a direction away from the bottom surface;

wherein:

the projection member is secured to a first side of an engagement panel with at least one fastener;

a second side of the engagement panel and the bottom surface of the door lock respectively comprise corresponding fastening apparatus for temporarily securing the engagement panel to the bottom surface of the door;

the engagement panel is secured to the bottom surface of the door lock such that the spikes extend away from the bottom surface of the door lock; and

the engagement panel further comprises a strip of sandpaper adhered to the first side thereof in an area devoid of the projection member.

11. The door lock of claim 10 , wherein a first portion of the plurality of spikes each has a spiked edge angled in a first direction, and a second portion of the plurality of spikes each has a spiked edge angled in an opposing second direction.

12. The door lock of claim 8 , wherein a first portion of the plurality of spikes each has a spiked edge angled in a first direction, and a second portion of the plurality of spikes each has a spiked edge angled in an opposing second direction.

13. The door lock of claim 8 , further comprising a knob extending from the wedge portion.

14. The door lock of claim 13 , further comprising a handle.

15. The door lock of claim 8 , further comprising a handle.

16. The door lock of claim 10 , further comprising a knob extending into an area defined between the vertical wall, the horizontal member, and the handle.
