n V s i 00 0 8 T 0 The present invention relates to for attachment to a door to hold it in its A number of different types of door stops are In one clip is attached to the doo and is receivable in a post fixed to floor at the position where the door is to be retained in its open position This type of door stop requires fixing the post into the which is not always desirable or A second type of door which is fixed only to the is of the plunger including a foot pedal adapted to be pressed downwardly to bring a resilient stop into engagement with the there usually being a second foot pedal another comparable for releasing the resilient stop and enabling to out of engagement with the usually under the action of a Such are quite complicated in construction and costly to and are no since the spring one is may the door stop may i either its lowered or raised An object of the present invention is to provide a door of very simple and inexpensive which is substantially in and which does not require attaching anythin to the floor Itself which might mar According to a broad aspect of the there is provided a door stop comprising a mounting plate adapted to be fixed to the a lever pivoted to said mounting said lever including one arm carrying a pedal and second arm carrying a stop member such that the s top member en a es the floor u on ivotin h l floor upon pivoting the lever in the opposite and limit carried y said mounting plate to limit the pivoting movement of said lever to the position where said stop member has passed the vertical line from its pivota center and engages the The stop member preferably a resilient mounting plate is dished outwardly at the face thereof to which the lever is Two embodiments the invention are described In one the lever is a bell crank having the two arms at right angles to each In the second the lever has three arms of which are coaxial and foot the third arm being at right angles to the two arms and carry the stop Further features and advantages of the will be apparent the description belowi The invention is by way of example with reference to the accompanying 1 is a side elevational view showing one of door stop in accordance with the the being illustrated in its released condition in full and i its actuated or condition in broken 2 is a sectional view along lines is a top plan view in reduced scale of the a side elevational view illustrating a second 5 is a top plan view reduced of the leve of The door stop illustrated in includes a mounting plate 2 adapted to fixed by screws 4 to the door at its free outer As shown in 2 mounting plate which may made of metal outwardly dished at its central area and to this area is pivotably mounted leve 10 on pivot pin pivotable mounting of leve 10 is eccentric with respect to dished portion 8 of the mounting being slightly to one side and below the center of portion Lever 10 includes three namely arms and Arms 10a and 10c each carry foot pedals and are Arm 10b at right angles to arms and carries at its lower end a stop member the form of a resilient roller rotably on pin Mounting plate 2 a limit 20 in the form of a lug which has been stamped out of plate and bent so as to be able to receive arm 10b of the leve the latter is pivoted to the actuated position of the Lug 20 is located so that it limits the further movement arm 10b when the latter arm has been pivoted past its center of past the vertical line extending through the pivot point 12 of the whereby the door stop is firmly and stably held in position in it actuated The operation of the door stop of 1 and 2 will be apparent the foregoing To actuate the door foot pedal 13 is depressed causing lever 10 the in and arm 10b has passed the vertical line from the point 12 of the whereby the arm is stably in To release the door it is only necessary to press downwardly on the second pedal whereby the lever 10 will be pivoted in the opposite to the position shown in full lines in The embodiment illustrated in 4 of struction and exept that it includes only one foot Thus in 3 the pivotable lever 110 has only two namely arms 110a and Arm UOa carries the foot pedal and arm 110b carries the resilient roller Lever 110 is actually a lever althoug its figuration is triangular as The remainder of the structure and operation of the stop of 4 substantially the same as described with respect to except that to actuate the door foot pedal 113 depressed by the and release foot pedal is lifted by inserting the foot underneath the pedal and raising Many modi and other applications of the described embodiments will be insufficientOCRQuality
