Abstract
A foldable door guard is provided. The foldable door guard protects doors, such as swingable doors as well as door frames, and door hinges. The foldable door guard includes a plurality of pivotally interconnected planar members which are secured to the swingable door and the door frame. A pair of securing brackets are provided to secure the foldable door guard to a ground surface. The foldable door guard is positioned about the edge of the swingable door, the door frame and the door hinges.
Claims20
A foldable door guard comprising:
- at least two pivotally interconnected planar members comprising a first planar member and a second planar member, wherein the first planar member is provided with a longitudinally extending V-shaped portion extending along an outer edge portion thereof and a planar extending portion extending from the longitudinally extending V-shaped portion of the first planar member;
- at least one hinge, wherein the at least two pivotally interconnected planar members are pivotably secured together via the at least one hinge;
- and
- a longitudinally extending planar member having a planar portion fixedly secured and extending along the planar extending portion of the first planar member, wherein the longitudinally extending planar member is provided with an outwardly extending longitudinal flange portion extending along an inner edge portion of the planar portion of the longitudinally extending planar member, wherein the outwardly extending longitudinal flange portion is configured to be secured to a lower frame portion of a door frame of a swingable door;
- wherein the second planar member is pivotally secured to the first planar member, and wherein the second planar member is configured to be secured to a lower door portion of the swingable door.
