ABSTRACT:
A door stop assembly is adapted for introduction between the sliding door and the stationery door of a patio door assembly. The door stop assembly has a wedge block having an integrally formed wedge portion and block portion. A vertical shoulder abutment wall is formed on the block partition where it meets the rear end of the top surface of the wedge portion. A flat strip of spring steel is bent to form a top leg member and a bottom leg member that are oriented to each other at an acute angle and the bottom leg member is secured to the wedge block. The front section is positioned above the top surface of the wedge portion of the wedge block in a spaced relationship thereto. The middle section extends upwardly from the rear end of the front section and is spaced forwardly of the shoulder abutment wall. The rear section has a concave curvature along its longitudinal axis and it extends rearwardly from the top end of the middle section. Any pressure applied to the top surface of the front section of the spring will transfer that pressure to the rear edge of the top leg member and force it downwardly against the top wall of the block portion. There is structure attachable to the bottom surface of the wedge block to prevent it from sliding. The top leg member has a front section, a middle section and a rear section.
