Abstract

See full text

An improved system, apparatus, and methods for a pet and child confinement gate providing enhanced safety and deterrence of climbing attempts. The confinement gate includes first and second brace portions with an innovative locking system. A drop-in catch engages with a metal sheath by lifting and lowering the gate, providing a primary locking feature. A rotatable knob, when turned, extends a sliding bolt into a receiver hole on the opposite brace, securing the gate against all directions of movement. The top of the gate features a free-spinning mechanism, which may include cylindrical rollers or ball-bearings, equipped with noise-making loose objects and sensors to deter and detect climbing attempts. The free-spinning mechanism can also trigger auditory deterrents via an audio device and send alerts through communication circuitry to a caretaker's device, further enhancing security measures.
