HINGE LOCKING DEVICE
A hinge locking device for a door includes a mounting plate defining an upper plate end and a lower plate end, a plate slot extending into the mounting plate at the lower plate end, the plate slot configured to receive a hinge plate of a door hinge assembly therethrough; a reinforcement gusset affixed to the mounting plate and defining a gusset recess aligned with the plate slot; and a barrel channel defined between the gusset recess and the mounting plate, the plate slot allowing lateral access to the barrel channel, the barrel channel configured to receive a hinge barrel of the door hinge assembly.
SPLIT RIGID AND FLEXIBLE DOOR STOP MECHANISM
A door stop mechanisms is disclosed that is arranged for preventing a door from swinging back against a wall. The door stop mechanisms are flexible, wall mounted door stops to absorb the impact of the swinging door or other mechanisms imparting a sideways force. The door stops are also arranged to absorb the force, flex, and return, without damage to the mechanism. One embodiment of a door stop mechanism, according to the present invention comprises a bottom portion having a bottom hollow section and a top portion on the bottom portion. The top portion has a top hollow section facing the bottom hollow section. A spring is arranged in the top and bottom hollow sections. A first end of the spring is attached to the top portion and a second end of the spring is attached to the bottom portion. The spring holds the top portion to the bottom portion in alignment while also allowing the top portion to move in relation to the bottom portion in response to a force. The spring also returns the top portion in alignment with the bottom portion when the force is removed.

Hood prop rod assembly for vehicles
Embodiments herein are directed to a hood prop assembly for a vehicle having a hood panel with a slot. The hood prop assembly includes an elongated member, a housing, and a retainer mechanism. The elongated member has a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the vehicle. The housing includes a cavity. The housing further includes a distal end and a proximate end. The cavity extends axially from the proximate end and receives the second end of the elongated member. The retainer mechanism extends from the distal end of the housing. The housing and the retainer mechanism rotatably move with respect to the second end of the elongated member between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the retainer mechanism engages with the slot to retain the hood panel and in the unlocked position, the retainer mechanism disengages with the slot.
