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.
