Doorstop

Abstract

A door stop is adapted to be deformably subjected to compressive and torque forces and to elastically return to its normal position after being subjected to said forces.

1 . A door stop comprising 
 (a) an anchor member including 
 (i) a proximate end shaped and dimensioned to be wall mounted, and  
 (ii) a distal end shaped and dimensioned to be engaged by a tool to wall mount said proximate end; and,  
   (b) a compressible elastic body having a length in the range of one inch to four inches and including 
 (i) a proximate end,  
 (ii) a distal end, and  
 (iii) an aperture extending inwardly from said proximate end and shape and dimensioned to slide over said distal end of said anchor member.  
   
     
     
         2 . A method for halting the travel of a door, comprising the steps of 
 (a) providing a door stop including 
 (i) an anchor member adapted to be mounted on a structural member of a building structure, and  
 (ii) an elastic, compressible, bendable rebound unit attached to said connection means and including at least one resilient elastomer;  
   (b) mounting said anchor member on a structural member of the building to be struck by a door opening in the building; and,    (c) mounting said rebound unit on said anchor member.
