6 Claims. 1
This invention relates to improvements in door stops.
It is a primary object of the invention to provide a door stop of simple construction and application to a door and provided with a handle at a height convenient for manipulation by which the door stop may be moved about two axes at right angles to each other between a position of use and a retracted position in which the door stop is supported fiat against the face of the door.
The objects will be more apparent upon examination of the following disclosure of the invention.
In the drawings:
Fig. l is a view of my improved door stop as it appears in perspective applied to a door and in operative position of projection therefrom.
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing my improved door stop as it appears retracted to its inoperative position against the face of the door.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the apparatus as it appears in Fig. 2, the door being shown in section.
While it is obvious that more complex mounting arrangements may be made, I have shown my improved door stop in what I believe to be its simplest possible form. Screw eyes 5 and 6 and hook I are applied to the door. The door stop member 8 comprises a piece of strap iron or the like in the form of a flat bar having an aperture engaged on the horizontal eye of the screw eye 5. The hand lever 9 may be constructed of similar material and is similarly provided with an aperture threaded on the horizontal eye of the screw eye 6. The hand lever has an offset grip portion ill for convenience of manipulation and its end II is adapted to rest on the hook I for support, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Pivoted by means of rivets or the like to the door stop member 8 and the hand lever 9 is a link [2 which provides a connection therebetween to enable the operator to duplicate in the door stop member 8 movements manually imparted to the lever 9. The fiat surfaces of link I2 and levers 8 and 9 assure the transmission of lateral swinging movement from lever 9 to door stop member 8. In the course of such movement, the members 9 and B oscillate around a vertical axis drawn through the centers of the vertically aligned eyes 5 and 6.
Each of the eyes 5 and 6 also provides a horizontal fulcrum upon which the members 9 and 8 are pivotally movable in any of the angularly offset vertical planes to which they may be laterally adjusted.
With parts adjusted to the position shown in Fig. 1, the member 8 functions like any door stop, its free end resting on the earth or the pavement,
and held there by its gravitational bias, to oppose outward swinging movement of the door to which it is pivoted. When it is desired to permit the door to swing, the operator grasps the grip ill of handle lever 9 and simultaneously lifts such lever to clear the door stop member from the earth, and swings such lever to oscillate both the lever 9 and the door stop member 8 into their retracted positions flat against the door. The movement vertically about the horizontal axis and the movement horizontally about the vertical axis may take place simultaneously, as described, or may occur consecutively. In any event, the grip is so manipulated that the end I l of the hand lever 9 will contact the door slightly above the hook support I, whereupon the hand lever is dropped slightly to engage its end I l on the hook, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
To restore the parts to operative functioning as a door stop, it is only necessary to lift the hand lever sufliciently to disengage it from hook I, whereupon the hand lever may be swung horizontally to a position at right angles to the door and then released. The door stop member 8 will swing with the hand lever and, on release thereof, will drop into operative position as shown in Fig. 1. It will be noted that in order for the hand lever to effect the requisite movements of the door stop member, the link 12 is so connected to the respective members that there is pivotal movement between the link and the respective members in vertical planes and no relative movement between the link and the respective members in a horizontal plane.
I claim:
1. A door stop device comprising a door stop member, a handle lever member, means for mounting the respective members on a door, said mounting means comprising supports for both members, said supports providing aligned vertical fulcrum means and vertically spaced horizontal fulcrum means about which the respective members are respectively oscillatable both horizontally and vertically, and a link connecting said members, said members and link having horizontal fulcrum means affording relative movement between the link and the respective members in vertical planes while resisting relative movement between the link and the respective members in horizontal planes, whereby said members are movable in unison horizontally about a common vertical axis and have corresponding pivotal movements vertically about separate horizontal axes.
2. The combination with a door stop member 3. The combination set forth in claim 2 in which the handle member is provided with an offset grip portion, together with a separate mounting for said handle member remote from the mounting upon which it adapted to provide support for both of said members in a retracted position thereof.
4. The combination set forth in claim 2 in which the arcuatepintles upon which the bearis :pivoted and 7 4 ing portions of the respective members are engaged comprise eyes having screw means for application to a door.
5. The combination with a hand lever member and a door stop member apertured at their ends, of eyes threaded through the apertures and providing arcuate pintles upon which said members are oscillatably slidable transversely and oscillatably pivotable vertically; the eyes being horizontal and provided with screw means for application in vertical alignment to a door, together with a link in riveted pivotal connection to intermediate portions of both of said members.
6. The device of claim 5 in which the handle lever member has an offset grip portion and a V terminal supporting attachment at its free end,
together with means applicable to a door and with which such terminal supporting portion is
