Abstract:
A door stop for mounting on a door hinge has an inverted U-shaped support and a base aligned substantially perpendicularly to the support. The can have at least three sides with an opening in the center for easy and confident handling. The door stop can be comprised of a single length of metal rod formed into the support and base portions. The base can be triangular in shape having three integrally connected sides. The sides can form a closed triangular base or can form a narrow resiliently expandable gap through which a carrying means can be urged into the opening of the base. A free end of the support portion extends below the base to improve balance when the door stop is mounted on a hinge and to incline the base when the door stop is placed on a floor surface for engagement with a lower portion of a door.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a door stop mechanism to be used as a child safety device. The door stop mechanism of the invention is for a door with a rotating door opening mechanism and a door jamb. The invention includes a blocking element, a flexible positioning member and an attachment hook member integrally joined to form a single molded structure. The door stop mechanism of the invention is attached to the rotating shaft of a door opening mechanism, such that the door stop mechanism will rotate in direct relation to the rotation of the door opening mechanism. In its closed position, the door stop mechanism rests across the edge of the door to prevent the door from completely closing. To close the door, the door opening mechanism must be rotated and held in this rotated position while closing the door. When the door opening mechanism is rotated, the blocking element of the present invention is moved away from the door edge which allows the door to be closed. Since the door opening mechanism must be held in a rotated position, the door stop mechanism of the invention prevents the door from being unintentionally shut by a small child, or other person.
Abstract:
A hinge mounted door chock is provided with an inverted J-shaped configuration. A first short leg is connected to a parallel longer and wider second leg by a third leg of equal width with the first leg. The side edges of the wider second leg are parallel to each other and the first leg and are flared outwardly away from the first leg.
Abstract:
A flexible, rubber-like member in the shape of a flat "dumbbell" has a pair of holes at either enlarged end thereof for fitment respectively about the opposed knobs or handles of a door with the narrow portion thereof wrapping around the side edge of the door proximal the knobs to prevent closure of the door. In an alternatively preferred embodiment, there is provided a signal generating mechanism for indicating when an attempt is being made to close the door with which it is being used.
Abstract:
Electromechanical operating device for a slidingly movable door, which device comprises a motor driving a worm on which is mounted a nut connected to the door which is is to be moved, said nut being secured in respect of rotation by a slide guide having a step at the point corresponding to the end of the stroke of the door. This step allows a certain rotation of the nut and constitutes a stop preventing the rearward displacement of the nut when the latter is acted on by means of the door.The nut is composed of two parts axially fastened to one another and mounted for rotation one about the other, these parts being so shaped as to ensure that they will be fastened together in respect of rotation with considerable angular play.The aim of the device is to prevent untimely unlocking of the closed door through the elastic torsional cocking of the worm.
Abstract:
A stabilizing mechanism for a vehicle body window includes a stabilizer bracket non-rotatably attached to the lower edge portion of the window panel and a stabilizer stop adjustably attached to a body panel. The lower edge portion of the stabilizer bracket is reversely bent to provide a retrorse flange opening upwardly toward the stabilizer stop. The upper edge portion of the stabilizer stop is reversely bent to provide a retrorse flange opening downwardly toward the window panel and the stabilizer bracket. When the window is raised, the upper edge portion of the stabilizer bracket is received in the retrorse flange at the upper edge of the stabilizer stop while the retrorse flange at the lower edge of the stabilizer bracket captures the lower edge portion of the stabilizer stop. As well as lateral inboard and outboard movement of the window stabilizing assemblies of this type are provided at both forward and rearward locations on the body panel so as to prevent pitching movement of the window about an axis normal to the window. The adjustable attachment of the stabilizer stop to the door inner panel permits adjustment of the stabilizer stop to provide the desired stabilized position of the window.
