This security bar for positioning between a door and the floor has telescopic sections which permit the door to be opened a small distance, corresponding to the degree of telescoping which is permitted, so as to permit a clear gap between the door and its frame, if desired. The sections telescope by virtue of a bolt positioned through holes in one of the sections and a slot in the other section, the length of the slot determining the maximum possible telescoping. A pin can be positioned through additional holes in the first section and through the slot, to restrict the degree of telescoping which is permitted, from the maximum telescoping down to essentially no telescoping at all. The overall length of the bar preferably is adjustable as well.

[ We claim as our invention:] [1.] A variable-length security bar comprising at least two sections, at least two of said sections being telescopically connected to each other, one of said telescopically connecting sections having opposing longitudinal slots, another of said telescopically connecting sections having two rod-like elements passing laterally through respective pairs of holes therethrough and through said slots, whereby said bar can telescope between a fully-extended position where one said rod-like element contacts one end of said slots, and a reduced-length position where the other said rod-like element contacts the other end of said slots, at least one of said rod-like elements being repositionable longitudinally relative to the other said rod-like element by being repositioned through another pair of holes, thereby providing a variable distance between said rod-like elements within said slots, whereby the distance between said fully-extended position and said reduced-length position can be varied, one end of said bar having means for engaging a floor adjacent a door, and the other end of said bar having means for engaging a door handle or other means on the door, said variable distance between said rod-like elements thereby enabling partial opening of said door if desired.
