Abstract:
A novel barricade used to seal the gap between a door, weather stripping and a door frame. The barricade successfully prevents pests or rodents from breaching the barricade and entering into the garage or other area. The barricade uses a spring assist with low displacement force in order to conform to the changing downward or upward angle when a garage door is being operated. It also includes magnetized rubber seals to prevent chaffing to the garage door surface. This barrier stays in-place and is unable to be pulled off of the garage door face by pests or rodents and remains effective for long durations.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for obstructing a bottom-corner space formed between a door and a door frame, comprising:\n a T-Shaped extrusion having a first member and second member; a magnetized barrier plate attached to said first member of the T-Shaped extrusion having its magnetized surface towards the door; a stop member attached to said second member of the T-Shaped extrusion; at least one spring, which holds the T-shaped Extrusion against the door; a housing having:\n a first side, \n a second side perpendicular to said first side; \n a first cavity on the first side having a first length, \n a second cavity connected to the first cavity having a second length wherein the first length of the first cavity is longer than the second length of the second cavity, and \n a third cavity on said second side having a third side; \n wherein: said second member of the T-Shaped extrusion is inserted in the first cavity; said spring is disposed in said second cavity; said stop member is disposed within the third cavity; and said second member of the T-Shaped extrusion outwardly slides from said first cavity when the spring expands until the stop member reaches said third side of the third cavity.
