Removable security apparatus for building openings with quick-release latch mechanism

摘要

A removable security bar apparatus for preventing ingress through a building opening such as a window or door. The apparatus includes a grille and latch mechanism permitting quick removal of the grille from the building opening in the event of an emergency. The grille is held in place across the opening by a stop member which secures one side of the grille structure to the opening and a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism includes at least one removable rod positioned through a wall mounted bracket and into a fixed rod secured to the grille thereby securing the grille over the building opening. The grille is rapidly removed by sliding the at least one removable rod away from the fixed rod and bracket allowing the grille to be gripped and moved away from the opening.
