ABSTRACT:
A stop mechanism for a door associated with a jamb utilizing an arresting element. The arresting element is capable of withstanding force asserted on an object normally positioned between the door and the jamb. In addition, the arresting element is sized to provide a gap between the door and the jamb when the door is swung toward a closed position. A tether is also employed in the present invention which is connected to the arresting element, and permits the arresting element to lie in a first position in the vicinity of the closed door and associated jamb and in a second position between the door and the jamb when the door is again motivated toward closing. The tether is supported to the vicinity of the door jamb at a selected level above the ground surface.
