Patent attributes
The invention described herein is a wedge doorstop having a pair of adjacent sidewalls that respectively abut an edge of a door and a doorframe in a preferred orientation. Additionally, another sidewall of the stop abuts the frame stop of the doorframe and a compressible material along each one of the sidewalls protects the frame and increases friction. In operation, the door is opened and the doorstop is inserted into the gap between the frame and the door, and when the door begins to swing towards the frame, the wedge is sandwiched between the edge of the door and the frame. Additionally the compressive material prevents the doorstop from damaging the door or frame. Alternatively, the wedge can be inserted between the ground and bottom edge of the door.
