Abstract:
A door locking device having a first bracket with a slot formed thereon and extending outwardly from a flat surface, and a second bracket having a slotted member hingedly connected thereto. The first bracket has a first stop member extending from the flat surface adjacent an open end of the slot. The second bracket has a second stop member connected thereto and positioned adjacent an open end of the slotted member opposite the first bracket. The second bracket includes a flat member, a hinge joining the slotted member to the flat member, and a receiving latch fastened to the flat member and extending outwardly therefrom. The hinge causes the slotted member to be movable between an open position and a closed position. The slotted member has a slit which extends around the exterior of the receiving latch when the slotted member is in the closed position. A rigid bar is received by the slot of the first bracket and by the slotted member of the second bracket so as to be rigidly contained therein and therebetween.
