DOOR CLOSING MECHANISM

摘要

A camming member for a door may have a camming surface which lifts the door as the door is traversed from an opened position to a closed position. The lifting movement of the door caused by the camming member facilitates one or more latches used to reinforce a periphery of the door to be engaged without further user intervention.

主权项

1. A vertical wall comprising;
a panel fabricated from a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wire rods, the plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wire rods arranged to form an opening for allowing an animal to pass through the panel; a door fabricated from a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wire rods, the door being pivotally hinged to a first vertical wire rod of the panel and traversable between a closed position and a closed position, the door being sufficiently large to cover the opening to block the opening and prevent the animal from passing through the opening of the panel when the door is in the closed position, and the animal being capable of passing through the opening when the door is in the opened position; a first camming member attached to a first horizontal wire rod of the door adjacent to the first vertical wire rod of the panel so that a camming surface of the first camming member slides against a first horizontal wire rod of the panel or a camming surface of a second camming member attached to the panel as the door is traversed from the opened position to the closed position to lift the door upward; a latch mounted to the panel or door which allows the door to be pivoted to the opened or closed position only by lifting the door upward to disengage the latch.
