Abstract
A door stabilizer includes a main body and a footrest. The main body defines a footrest receptacle and includes a first end, a second end, a support surface configured to be placed on a surface, and a contact surface configured to engage a door. The support surface extends between the first end and the second end. The contact surface extends between the first end and the second end and extends away from the support surface such that the contact surface is further away from the support surface at the second end of the main body than at the first end of the main body. The footrest is pivotably coupled to the main body and includes a pivot shaft that defines a pivot axis about which the footrest pivots relative to the main body. A portion of the footrest is configured to pivot into and out of the footrest receptacle.
Claims20
A door stabilizer comprising:
- a main body defining a footrest receptacle and including
- a first end,
- a second end,
- a support surface configured to be placed on a surface, the support surface extending between the first end and the second end, and
- a contact surface configured to engage a door, the contact surface extending between the first end and the second end and extending away from the support surface such that the contact surface is further away from the support surface at the second end of the main body than at the first end of the main body;
- and
- a footrest pivotably coupled to the main body, the footrest including a pivot shaft that defines a pivot axis about which the footrest pivots relative to the main body, at least a portion of the footrest configured to pivot into and out of the footrest receptacle.
A door stabilizer comprising:
- a main body including
- a first end,
- a second end,
- a support surface configured to be placed on a surface, the support surface extending between the first end and the second end, and
- a contact surface configured to engage a door, the contact surface extending between the first end and the second end;
- and
- a footrest movably coupled to the main body, the footrest moveable between a stowed position, in which the door stabilizer is usable to inhibit movement of the door in one direction, and a deployed position, in which the door stabilizer is usable to inhibit movement of the door in multiple directions.
A door stabilizer comprising:
- a main body including a support surface that is configured to be placed on a surface and a contact surface that is angled relative to the support surface, the contact surface configured to engage a door to inhibit the door from moving in a first direction;
- and
- a footrest extending from the main body, the footrest configured to receive a force directed toward the surface to inhibit the door from moving in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
