Abstract:
A security system including(a) means defining (i) a door opening to a room including at least a pair of vertically oriented spaced apart support members, a door jamb intermediate said support members, a pair of vertically oriented molding members each adjacent and extending outwardly from said door jamb, and (ii) a door coupled to said door jamb for opening and closing said door opening; (b) a hollow substantially rigid flexible metal rod spanning said door opening and having a pair of opposing ends; (c) at least one cable extending into said metal rod; (d) two fixing means each secured to a different one of said support members; said cable and rod being securable at each end of said rod to one of said fixing means such that (e) said rod contacts each of said molding members so that said door can be moved from a closed position to a slightly ajar position in which said door engages and bends and flexes said bar without permitting a person at the door to view through the opening the room and said rod, said bent flexed bar generating a force against said door acting to displace said door to said closed position.
