ABSTRACT:
An occupant safeguarding door stop for use on the interior surface of the lower edge portion of a sliding door or window or vertically hinged inwardly openable door has a base securely mountable on the interior surface of the door in a portion thereof adjacent to but above the level of a sliding door or window, or a lower edge portion of the vertically hinged door. A rigid leg member aligned with the base is pivotally joined to the base, and has a foot portion arrangeable for being forcibly pressed and readily actuated toward a gripping portion engaging the overhead frame of a sliding door or window, or a floor associated with the door by foot or hand applied pressure. A torsion spring, and the like, is connected to the base and leg member for biasing the leg member toward a raised position away from the floor, or a lowered position away from the frame of sliding doors/windows, while a locking device mounted on the base selectively engages the leg member and holds same in any one of several gripping positions depending on the distance between the base and/or the floor or the overhead frame. In this manner, precise positioning of the stop on the door becomes unnecessary, and more importantly re-surfacing of the floor or overhead frame of sliding door/windows which may change the distance thereof from a previously installed stop does not require re-positioning of the stop.
