Patent 7334824 was granted and assigned to Kidco on February, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A child safety lock for a lever door handle is rotatably mounted on a first side of a door and is biased in a first position. The child safety lock has a holder adapted to engage the door handle so that rotating the door handle rotates the holder. A cover is pivotally mounted on the holder and is shaped to cover the holder. A lock assembly is disposed in a vicinity of the door handle. The lock assembly selectively engages the cover for preventing rotation of the cover.
