ABSTRACT:
A door closure delay system produces a first signal when a person approaches a doorway housing the door. The first signal is applied to a timing system and a voltage comparator so that a second signal is produced to limit closure of an open door. The second signal is maintained for a predetermined and adjustable time period after the first signal has been removed. More patricularly, a voltage regulator provides a base or reference voltage to the comparator. A sensor, monitoring the doorway or portal, provides a signal voltage to the comparator when a physical presence is in, or in proximity to the doorway. The comparator passes on an output voltage which is stretched (i.e., has its time line extended) to circuitry coupled to a door closer, to delay the closure of the door by the closer.
