Delayed action door holder

An apparatus for temporarily holding a pivotally mounted door in an open position, said apparatus comprising:

• a first arm having a first end for pivotally coupling to a door frame and having a second end;
• a second arm having a first end for pivotally coupling to a door and a second end pivotally coupled to said second end of said first arm, said second arm being pivotable with respect to said first arm between a first position when said door is in a closed position and a second position when said door is in an open position;
• and
• a suction cup coupled to said apparatus to temporarily couple said first arm and said second arm together in a fixed position to prevent pivotal movement between said first arm and said second arm to hold said door temporarily in said open position.

An apparatus for temporarily holding a member in a first position for a period of time, said member being pivotally coupled to a support, wherein said apparatus comprises:

• a first arm having a first end pivotally coupled to said support and having a second end;
• a second arm having a first end pivotally coupled to said member and a second end pivotally coupled to said second end of said first arm, said second arm being pivotable between a first position and a second position by pivotal movement of said member with respect to said support;
• and
• a coupling member for temporarily coupling said first arm to said second arm to prevent pivotal movement between said first arm and said second arm, thereby temporarily holding said second arm in said second position, thereby temporarily holding said member in said first position.
