Door Travel Limiting Device

A door travel limiting device comprising:

• a housing,
• a stop member slidably received with respect to said housing to be slidable in a first sliding direction and a second sliding direction, with a first end of said stop member configured to extend out from a first portion of said housing, and a second end of said stop member configured to extend out from a second portion of said housing;
• a compression spring configured to bias said stop member to slide in said first direction;
• a first protrusion on said stop member configured to limit travel of said stop member in said first sliding direction to be at a first position;
• a second protrusion on said stop member configured to limit travel of said stop member in said second sliding direction to be at a second position;
• and
• a flexible member, said flexible member configured to protrude from said stop member, and configured to selectively engage a track on said housing to retain said second end of said stop member at an intermediate travel limited position between said first and second stop member positions when said stop member is initially actuated to slide from said first position to said second position, and is then no longer actuated but instead only biased by said compression spring.

A combination door stop and keeper, for use in limiting travel of a sliding patio door to one or more door positions,

• said door stop comprising:
• a housing,
• a stop member slidably received with respect to said housing to be slidable in a first sliding direction and a second sliding direction, with a first end of said stop member configured to extend out from a first portion of said housing, and a second end of said stop member configured to extend out from a second portion of said housing;
• a compression spring configured to bias said stop member to slide in said first direction;
• a first protrusion on said stop member configured to limit travel of said stop member in said first sliding direction to be at a first position;
• a second protrusion on said stop member configured to limit travel of said stop member in said second sliding direction to be at a second position;
• and
• a flexible member, said flexible member configured to protrude from said stop member, and configured to selectively engage a track on said housing to retain said second end of said stop member at an intermediate travel limited position between said first and second stop member positions when said stop member is actuated to slide from said first position to said second position, and then no longer actuated but biased by said compression spring,
• said keeper comprising:
• a first flange, said first flange comprising one or more holes, for use in securing said keeper to a master frame configured to accommodate sliding of the patio door;
• and
• a second flange, said second flange extending from said first flange, said second flange comprising one or more openings each configured to receive said second end of said stop member, when said stop member is in said intermediate position.
