Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The applicant is unaware of any prior art in this field of invention.

THE INVENTION

The present invention is a door guard. This door guard comprises a first flat sheet of fabric and a second flat sheet of fabric. Each flat sheet is essentially the same size. The two sheets are aligned such that the first flat sheet essentially overlies the second flat sheet. The flat sheets are attached to each other at their respective perimeters.

The combination of the flat sheets has four corners and at least two of the corners of the flat sheets have embedded therein, one-half of a snap fastener.

Each of the flat sheets has an area dimension of up to seventy-two inches long and at least twenty-four inches wide.

The door guard is attached to a doorway to prevent the passage of persons, such as a patient or child, from one area to another. The barrier presents a physical barrier that when encountered discourages passage through the doorway.

What is disclosed is a door guard comprising two flat sheets that have a fire proof filler therebetween and that fire proof filler is based on California technical bulletin #117, Section E.

The door guard may be fabricated from vinyl, rubber, or leather, for example.
