This invention is related to a safety barrier positionable in a doorway or passageway to prevent the passage of small children or animals. The barrier comprises a frame assembly having a substantially rectangular structure with upper (4, 5, 16) and lower (1) frame elements, each extending from one side of the passageway to the other. The frame assembly is provided with independently adjustable clamping means (12, 13, 14, 15) at each corner thereof for securing within the passageway. At least a portion of the frame assembly is in the form of a gate which is openable to allow access through the barrier. The gate is provided with further clamping means (22) to lock the openable portion in its closed condition, said further clamping means acting to increase the overall stability of the barrier within the passageway.

A child safety barrier intended for positioning between two upright support surfaces so as to extend therebetween, the barrier comprising: a frame assembly of substantially rectangular structure having upper and lower elongate frame elements each intended to extend between the two support surfaces; independently adjustable clamping means provided at each corner of said frame assembly for securing the barrier in position; and a gate mounted in the frame assembly for movement between an open position allowing access through the barrier and a closed position in which the gate forms an integral part of the barrier; in which: the frame assembly comprises two co-planar rectangular frame members separated in their common plane but interconnected by said lower frame element; the gate is hingedly mounted on one of said rectangular frame members and is capable of being clamped to the other of said rectangular frame members when the gate is in its closed position; and further clamping means provided on said gate for clamping engagement with the upper end of said other rectangular frame member, said further clamping means being operable to urge apart the upper ends of said rectangular frame members so as to counteract the tendency of the frame assembly the bend inwardly due to the action of the clamping means at the corners of the frame assembly and so as to increase the overall stability of the barrier.
