An apparatus including a wall plate, a retaining strap, and a storage groove. The wall plate is attachable to a wall and includes a door facing surface. The door facing surface is configured to stop a door knob extending from a door. The retaining strap is coupled with the wall plate and forms a loop. The loop extends from the wall plate and engages the door knob. The storage groove is disposed between a perimeter of the wall plate and the wall. The storage groove is configured to receive the retaining strap.

The present invention pertains to the technological sector of household items and refers, more specifically, to a passive safety device applied to doors in order to prevent them, when closing unexpectedly, from causing accidents to body parts of humans or animals. Since the safety devices applied for this purpose present the obstacle of being removed or disarmed when the user wishes to close the door (7), the present invention presents a passive combination (1) endowed with rod (2) and fastening element (4) that should be attached to the handle (5) present on the door (7) in such a way as to move together with it (5). This causes the rod (2) endowed or not with a stop (3) to stand between the door (7) and the frame (6) passively in order to prevent the unexpected closing of the door and preserve the security space (8) preventing body parts of people or animals from being crushed.

A retrofit decorative doorstop comprising a plush figure having a plurality of appendages and a clamp having a pair of arms positioned in adjacent ones of the door therebetween and/or to prevent the door from abutting a portion of a doorframe.

An apparatus is provided having a foam cushion (9) attached to an elongate elastic member (8). Adhesive pads (10) are attached one to each end of the elastic member (8). A U shaped resiliently deformable handle is attached to the uppermost and lowest cushion (9) and adapted to project through the hinge gap formed between the hinge stile (6) and the door jamb (7) when the door is swung open. The apparatus can be secured to the hinge stile (6) of a hinge mounted door leaf (3) by means of the adhesive pads (10) and with the elastic member (8) under sufficient tension to keep the cushions resting against the hinge stile and the handle projecting through the hinge gap. If an attempt is made to close the door without displacing the cushions 9 from the hinge gap the cushions prevent full closure. To fully close the door the handle is pulled from the hinge side of the door, until the cushions (9) are displaced through the hinge gap and the door can then be closed. The cushions are too wide to pass through the reduced hinge gap when the door is closed. When the door is opened the spring force of the elastic member causes the cushions (9) to pull back through the widening hinge gap.

A fluid damper hinge using a fluid damper only and a damper hinge using the fluid damper in combination with a torsion damper, used especially in relation to an opening and closing element such as seat lid and seat for western-style toilet, wherein both have a simple structure, do not require time for assembly and can be manufactured at a low cost.

A hinge (FIG. 1) with an adjustable built-in door stop mechanism. The hinge contains two leaves and a hinge pin. The first leaf with three knuckles has various receptacles (4) on both the upper and lower knuckles (3) to ensure the door stop works with both right and left-handed doors. The hinge also contains a standard hinge pin (5) that includes a flag (6) immediately at the base of the pin head. The hinge is designed to stop when the pin flag (6) is inserted into one of the pin flag receptacles (4) limiting the swing range of motion of the hinge. The second leaf (2) will rotate until making contact with the pin flag (6) and the top knuckle (3), stopping the hinge from rotating any further. The appropriate pin flag receptacle (4) selected is based on the required swing of the hinge.

A decorative doorstop comprising a clamp retrofitted to a plush figure and operable to prevent a door from abutting a portion of a doorframe.

A device for protecting the fingers of a person from getting impinged in between the door and the doorframe during closing of the door by an operator is provided. The device includes a gripping body configured to wrap around the shank of the doorknob, a bumper body attached to the gripping body configured to prevent the closing of the door, a hollow unit positioned between the bumper body and the gripping body, and one or more connecting body to pass through the hollow unit to connect the gripping body with the shank of the doorknob. When the door is opened, the bumper body is positioned between the door and the door frame. In order to close the door, the operator rotates the doorknob normally, which moves the bumper body, away from the leading edge of the door. The process makes an operator cautious while closing the door and thus effectively protects fingers and hands of the person from injuries that may result from a slamming door.

A safety door lock may include the door handle configured to be rotatable about a rotational axis and to slidably reciprocate in a horizontal direction and having a sliding groove on the side surface thereof adjacent to a door. The safety door lock may include a body combined with an inside of the sliding groove to form a rotating shaft with another door handle provided at the other side of the door and supporting sliding of the door handle so as to protrude the door handle from the front end of the door. The safety door lock may include an elastic unit fixed to the body, and elastically relaxing the door handle and the body. Other embodiments may also be provided.

A mechanism or apparatus enables stowing a hinged surface chock at a stowage position near a deployment position. Said stowage and deployment positions separated by a gap between a first hinged surface and a second hinged surface, where said hinged surfaces are attached by at least one hinge. The apparatus enables the transition of said chock through said gap when one of said hinged surfaces is sufficiently open. Said apparatus will enable stowing said chock by holding said chock at the side of the gap where said chock does not obstruct the closing path of either hinged surface and said apparatus will enable deploying said chock by holding said chock where, at least partially, said chock obstructs the closing path of at least one of said hinged surfaces. Said apparatus may further enable arranging said chock at a wider angle at the deployed position.
