Abstract
The door buffer has a U-shaped portion (F1(1) to be placed on the top edge of an internal door, and a curved portion (F1/2) made of a resilient material, which abuts against the door frame or jamb in a shock absorbing way. in a variant (Figure 2, not shown), the U-shaped member is made of two parts which are adjustably joined together by wring nuts, so that the buffer can be used on doors of various thicknesses. The buffer is intended to prevent complete closure of the door. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Non-adjustable and adjustable door stop or spacer
This invention relates to a sliding removable door spacer or door stop, designed to rest across or over the top of an internal leftor right hinged door.
F2 relates to an adjustable sliding door stop or spacer.
Doorstops are usuallyfixedtothefloor-the hydraulic and spring loaded designs are intended to be doorclosers.
According to this invention there is the means of allowingthedoorto remain open toa greateror lesser degree, depending on the position of the door stop or spacer, allowing free access to domestic pets such as cats and dogs and preventing damagetothe door and frame caused by clawing and scratching.
The door stop or spacer can be instantly removed to enable the door to be closed.
The curved buffer F1/2 acts as a shock absorber againsttheframe orjamb, being made of a resilient substance or material. Being a sliding doorstop or spacer, a gap can be chosen to a fine degree as required and the stop or spacer is instantly removable. One advantage is in keeping the door ajar or oepn without any obstacle blocking access which isan important safetyfeature.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 Fl Shows in perspective a non-adjustable sliding doorstop or spacer, designed to slide over and along the top edge of a standard size thickness/depth internal door.
F1/1Thebodyorframebeingfinished in a resilient material to prevent damage to the door surface.
Fl/2The buffer is curved and raked to fit left or right hinged doors and is made of resilient substance or material to act as a shock absorber when the door is closed to.
To fit, place F1/1 onto the top of the door with the buffer placed to the doorframe orjamb and slide along to required position; this will now prevent the door fro closing completely.
Figure 2
F2 Shows in perspective an adjustable sliding door stop or spacer. Refering to the drawing F2/1 is placed beneath F2/2 bolts F2/5 are placed through F2/3 and slot F2/4. The F2/6 washers are placed on bolt F2/5 on top offrame F2/2 and wing nuts F/2/7 screwed onto
F/2/5. To adjustthe door spacer or stop slot on top of the door closing F2/1 against F2/2 and tightening F2/7 adjusting to fit onto the door. F2/1 and F2/2 are in a soft resilient finish to prevent damage to door surface.
The buffers F1/2 and F2/2 are in a shock absorbent resilient substance or material and are curved and raked to allow use on a left or right hinged door, the raketo assist in closing againstthedoorframeor jamb.
The door stop or spacer:
1. Has the advantage of keeping door ajar, sliding along top of door to any position required.
2. When used to a lesser degree leaves sufficient paw space so that domestic pets can open doorfor free access.
3. Can eliminate damage to doors and frames caused by pets scratching and clawing.
4. When used to the greater degree allows passage of large objects such as furniture through a doorway.
5. Eliminates propping door open with hazardous objects on the floor.
6. Can easily be removed to enable door to be closed as required.
7. The sliding adjustable doorstop or spacer having the added advantage offitting various thicknesses or depth of doors.
1. The non-adjustable and adjustable door stop or spacer comprising brackets or the like as shown in
Figures 1 & . Items F1, F2/1, forming a slotto enable the door stop to fit over the thickness of the top ofthe door. When the curved buffer shown in Figures 1 & - Items F1/2 and F2/2 is attached to the top of Items F1 and F2/1 (top surface of the door stop) as shown in
Figure 1 and Figure 2 forms a buffer between the door and doorframe.
2. The non-adjustable and adjustable door stop orspacerorthe likea3claimed in Claim 1 when fitted prevents the door from being closed.
3. The non-adjustable and adjustable door stop orspacerorthelikeasclaimed in Claims 1 & dependant on the position placed along the width of door increases or decreases the distance ajar between door and frame.
4. The non-adjustableand adjustable door stop orspacer orthe like as claimed in Claims 1,2 & when assembled the slots as shown in F2/6 & provides when the bolt for fixing F2/1 and F2/2 together is located an adjustable size slot to accommodate various door thicknesses.
New claims or amendments to claims filed on 21.5.87 Superseded claims 1-4
Neworamended claims:
1. The adjustable door stop or spacer comprising of two 'L' shaped brackets or the like as shown in
Figure 2. Items F2/l , F2/2 when inverted and assembled together as shown in Figure 2 form an "n" shaped bridge which can be placed in position overthe top width ofthe door thus filling the slot provided on bracket assembly with the door thickness.
2. The adjustable door stop or spacer comprising of the two assembled 'L' shaped brackets as claimed in Item 1 with the addition of the curved buffer shown in Figure 2 Item F2/2, is attached as shown in
Figure 1 & tothetop of bracket F2/1.
3. The adjustable door stop orspacer comprising of the two 'L' shaped brackets and the curved buffer when assembled as claimed in Items 1 & 2, when fitted in position on the door prevents the doorfrom being closed with the curved buffer acting as a shock
