  • the patent application US 2012/0233813 presents a solution for a door stop, consisting of an indexing rod made of a thermoplastic material with metallic insert, with two sliding planes, both being shaped with recesses and protuberances.
  • the stopping device particularity mainly consists of the solution adopted for the retention body, wherein the compressive force on the indexing rod is provided by a pair consisting of two non-metal bodies symmetrically arranged, made of, for example, a flexible elastomeric material and of a self-lubricating thermoplastic material, respectively.
  • the US patent 7793387 (B1 ) discloses the solution for a door stop that mainly consist of, the same as the above-mentioned solutions, an arm-rod and a retention body, wherein there is located, in the upper position, a single compression spring and a single hemi-spherical body mounted on the head of the spring.
  • the arm-rod is provided on the entire width of only its top surface with shaped indexing recesses and protuberances, the hemi-spherical body indexing being achieved when this penetrates into the indexing recesses under the action of the compression spring.
  • the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is providing a stepped door stop of an average constructive complexity of the retention mechanism, designed to provide the user with a high degree of comfort during the operation of the door during its opening and closing, while provides stable opening and closing positions of the door.
  • the stepped door stop comprises:
  • the progressive indexing rod is fastened, by means of a rivet and a metallic fastening body which, in its turn, is secured on the pillar, with a screw, and at the other end the progressive indexing rod has a travel limiting bumping section.
  • the slide usually made of self-lubricating thermoplastics is provided internally with mounting screws for its securing inside the door.
  • the progressive indexing rod is made of self-lubricating thermoplastics, provided with a metallic insert throughout its length, and also in the bumping section.
  • the body used to secure the assembly on the pillar has an ovalized through hole designed for the screw which provides the possibility of a vertical adjustment during the mounting operation.
  • the width of the sliding opening provided in the slide may provide a small tolerance in relation to the width of the progressive indexing rod during the mounting and operation.
  • the stepped door stop claimed by the present invention comprises a progressive indexing rod 1 containing a metallic insert 5, a slide 2, one rivet 3 to secure the progressive indexing rod 1 in the fastening 9 for securing on the pillar, a pair of balls 4a and 4b correspondingly driven by a pair of springs 6a and 6b with progressive stiffness, the securing thereof in the body of the slide 2 being achieved by means of a pair of caps 8a and 8b, a corresponding pair of safety locks 7a and 7b fitted in the slots f2 provided in the body of the slide 2.
  • the progressive indexing rod 1 as also shown in Figures 4 and 5 , has a constant width and is manufactured of a metallic insert 5, placed centrally on the entire length of the progressive indexing rod 1 and also inside the bumping section t, the insert 5 being coated to the outer side with a thermoplastic material, for example, by injection molding.
  • the progressive indexing rod 1 may, as a rule, be straight or curved according to the specific requirements of the door stop application.
  • the progressive indexing rod 1 is provided symmetrically on both plane-parallel sliding faces with a channel c used to guide the balls 4a and 4b, a hole a for fixing with a rivet 3, a recess b for positioning during mounting and indexing recesses d1, d2, ... dn that provide the required firm angular positioning of the door during the door closing and opening and a bumping section t as presented in Figure 2 .
  • the number of indexing recesses d is constructively limited and is defined by the number of required angular indexing positions desired by the user during closing and opening the door. Usually the number of indexing recesses is limited to 2 or 3.
  • the progressive indexing rod 1 presents in two of its opposite sides a symmetrical stepped configuration of three stepped plane-parallel surfaces as presented in Figure 3 , denoted by s1, s2, and s3, in the order of the increasing of the progressive indexing rod 1 thickness, these surfaces having the function, as the door is being opened, to provide a firmer and firmer angular positioning of the door, due to the compressive force exerted by the springs 6a and 6b, with a progressive stiffness.
  • the body of the slide 2 presented in Figure 6 , is made of thermoplastic material, such as glass fibber-reinforced polyamide and has a symmetrical design being provided with a sliding opening f1 having a width slightly larger than the constant width corresponding to the progressive indexing rod 1, this fact allowing a necessary horizontal plane adjustment during mounting and the operation.
