ABSTRACT:
A fully adjustable gate device has a gate panel that may be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional cartoon character or animal to provide an attractive diversion for the confined child. The hinge member and latch member are attachable to the vertical surfaces of either side of a door opening by a C-shaped device, which provides secure fastening force, while not requiring marking with permanent holes or disfiguring the vertical surfaces. The gate panel may be telescoping to accommodate openings of various widths and the C-clamp hinge and latch may be adjustable to accommodate walls or other vertical surfaces having different depths or thicknesses. A compression-activated tong-shaped latch device is engaged and disengaged from the latch member by applying pressure and sliding the telescoping gate to the side, which permits the gate panel to swing freely in either direction.
