Trolley lock for a garage door opener

摘要

The invention is a security trolley lock for garage door openers. The trolley lock is a “U-shaped” element that removably attaches to a garage door trolley for preventing lateral access to the release lever of a garage door opener system. The trolley lock has a pass-through opening for allowing attachment of said trolley to a garage door trolley and another pass-through opening for receiving a lock means preventing unauthorized actuation of the release lever.

主权项

1. A security trolley lock that prevents unauthorized accessing and actuating a release lever of a garage door opener system, said trolley lock comprising:
a first plate, a second plate parallel to said first plate and a third plate perpendicular to and connecting said first plate to said second plate defining an interior empty space for receiving within said garage door release lever, said first and second plates extend alongside the release lever preventing access to the release lever from the sides; each of said first and second plates comprises a straight upper periphery border, a first lateral straight periphery border positioned at a 90° angle with respect to said upper periphery border, a first straight lower periphery border formed at a 90° angle with respect to said first lateral straight periphery border and parallel to said straight upper periphery border, a second straight lower periphery border formed at a first angle with respect to said first straight lower periphery border, a third straight lower periphery border formed at a second angle with respect to said second straight lower periphery border and parallel to said straight upper periphery border and a second lateral straight periphery positioned at a 90° angle with respect to said upper periphery border and said third straight lower periphery border and parallel to said first lateral straight periphery border, wherein the length of said second lateral straight periphery border is smaller than the length of said first lateral straight periphery border, a first pass-through aperture for receiving an attaching means removably attaching the trolley lock to a garage door trolley and a second pass-through aperture selectively positioned on said plate at a location below a garage door release lever when said trolley lock is attached to the garage door trolley; and said third plate is connected to the second lateral straight periphery border of said first plate and to the second lateral straight periphery border of said second plate forming a “U-shaped” trolley lock having at least an opening at a bottom portion of said trolley lock defined by: a lower periphery border of said third plate, the first straight lower periphery border, the second straight lower periphery border and the third straight lower periphery border of both said first and second plates providing unobstructed access to said interior empty space and said release lever.
