Door mounted door position maintaining device

Abstract

This invention is directed to a door mounted door position maintaining device with an adhesive strip for mounting on a door surface. The doorstop has a hollow body for containment of the operational parts, namely the shaft, which travels along a vertical axis and provides a way of stopping and holding the door or releasing the door from its held position. The handle used for activation or deactivation is located at one end of the shaft proximal to the top and the gripping friction foot is located at the furthest most point from the top or at the bottom. The foot uses friction when in contact with the floor to hold the door in place. A spring is utilized for additional stopping force in order to compensate for the lack of leverage due to the straight up and down orientation of the shaft. Weights may also be utilized.
