A door stop for a door includes a clamp that is securable over a first side edge of a door. The clamp has a guide. An arm has a receiving portion for receiving the guide to permit movement of the arm on the clamp between an open position and a closed position. A spring mechanism is operably coupled to the clamp and the arm, and urges the arm on the guide of the clamp toward the closed position. In the closed position, the arm prevents the door from engaging with a respective door jamb.

5 A hinge system for a waste bin, the waste bin having a bin body with an open top and a lid for covering at least some of the open top, the system including a hinge assembly for hinging the lid to the bin body adjacent the open top, such that the lid is rotatable between a closed position covering at least part of the open top and an open position exposing the open top, and a damper assembly for connection to the bin body and the lid, the damper assembly having a damping mechanism configured for generating resistance to movement of the lid towards the closed position and substantially less resistance to movement of the lid towards the open position.

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 door stop (2) which comprises: (i) a hanger part (4); and (ii) a door stop part (6) which in use hangs from the hanger part (4), the door stop part (6) being such that is comprises: (iii) a first door stop formation (8) for being positioned at a hinge side (10) of a door (12), and in a gap (14) between the door (12) and a door frame (16) for the door (12); and (iv) a second door stop formation (18) for being positioned at the hinge side (10) of the door (12), and in the gap (14) between the door (12) and the door frame (16) for the door (12), and wherein: (v) the first door stop formation (8) is below the second door stop formation (18) when the door stop part (6) hangs from the hanger part (4); (vi) the first door stop formation (8) is of a first door-stopping size which stops the door (12) in a first open position at a first open angle; (vii) the second door stop formation (18) is of a second door-stopping size which stops the door (12) in a second open position at a second open angle; (viii) the first open angle is larger than the second open angle; (ix) the first open position is for use by an adult; (x) the second open position is for use by a child; (xi) the first open position is such as to cause the gap to be of a first size; (xii) the second open position is such as to cause the gap to be of a second size; and (xiii) the gap of the first size and the gap of the second size are both such that the child cannot get their fingers trapped firstly between the door (12) and the door frame (16) at the hinge side (10) of the door (12), and secondly between the door (12) and the door frame (16) at a handle side of the door (12).

A closure member (e.g., door) stop includes a base having a top portion opposite a bottom portion, the bottom portion being configured for affixing to an installation point associated with the closure member, a flexure extending away from the top portion, a cushion comprising an angled face and an impact face, the impact face being configured to interface with the closure member during closing of the closure member, and the angled face being configured to interface with the closure member during opening of the closure member. The flexure provides an operable, bendable connection between the cushion and the base. Also, a lever is operably connected to the cushion and the flexure and configured to move the cushion away from a swing path of the closure member. The cushion extends into a swing path of the closure member when the closure member stop is at rest in the installed position.
