Door stop and mount
The present disclosure generally relates a stop apparatus for use with a system comprising: a first component having a first surface; and a second component having a second surface. The second component is movable relative to the first component. The first surface and the second surface are disposed at different orientations when the first surface is located in proximity to the second surface. The stop apparatus is operable to be disposed between the two surfaces and operable to prevent them directly contacting each other. The apparatus may comprise an elongated body and an adjustable setting mount assembly inter-connected to the body. The mount assembly is operable to selectively adjust the angle at which the body is mounted relative to the first mounting surface over a range of angles.
1. An adjustable stop apparatus comprising:
a base truncated disk comprising a mounting face for mounting on a first surface, a first engagement face opposite the mounting face and a first aperture extending through the mounting face and the engagement face wherein the base truncated disk forms a first wedge that decreases in thickness forming a base thick end and a base thin end;
an adapter truncated disk comprising a connecting face having a first connector, a second engagement face opposite the connecting face and a second aperture extending through the connecting face and the second engagement face wherein the adapter truncated disk forms a second wedge that decreases in thickness forming an adapter thick end and an adapter thin end; and
an elongated member comprising a second connector configured to attach to the first connector and a distal stop end configured for engaging a second surface
wherein the first engagement face and the second engagement face are configured to abut one another such that relative rotation about a fastener extending through the first aperture and the second aperture adjusts an angle of the adapter truncated disk and the elongated member with respect to the base truncated disk.
2. The adjustable stop apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first engagement face comprises a plurality of recesses spaced around the first aperture.
3. The adjustable stop apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the second engagement face comprises at least one protusion for selective engagement with the plurality of recesses.
4. The adjustable stop apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first connector comprises an externally threaded extension and the second connector comprises an internally threaded member for engagement with the externally threaded extension.
5. The adjustable stop apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the distal stop end comprises a retaining mechanism for releasably engaging the second surface.
6. The adjustable stop apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the retaining mechanism comprises a magnet.
7. The adjustable stop apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the elongated member, the base truncated disk and the adapter truncated disk are made from a hypoallergenic plastic.
8. An adjustable stop system comprising:
a first component having a first surface;
a second component having a second surface; and
an adjustable stop apparatus comprising,
a base truncated disk comprising a mounting face mounted on the first surface, a first engagement face opposite the mounting face and a first aperture extending through the mounting face and the engagement face wherein the base truncated disk forms a first wedge that decreases in thickness forming a base thick end and a base thin end;
an adapter truncated disk comprising a connecting face having a first connector, a second engagement face opposite the connecting face and a second aperture extending through the connecting face and the second engagement face wherein the adapter truncated disk forms a second wedge that decreases in thickness forming an adapter thick end and an adapter thin end; and
an elongated member comprising a second connector configured to attach to the first connector and a distal stop end configured to engage the second surface
wherein the first engagement face and the second engagement face are configured to abut one another such that relative rotation about a fastener extending through the first aperture and the second aperture adjusts an angle of the adapter truncated disk and the elongated member with respect to the base truncated disk and
wherein the mounting face of the base truncated disk is mounted to the first surface and the distal stop end of the elongated member is adjacent to the second surface.
9. The adjustable stop system of claim 8 , wherein the first component is a wall and the second component is a door.
10. The adjustable stop system of claim 8 , wherein the first component is a door and the second component is a wall.
11. The adjustable stop system of claim 8 , wherein the distal stop end of the elongated member comprises a retaining mechanism for releasably engaging the second surface.
12. The adjustable stop system of claim 11 , wherein the retaining mechanism comprises a magnet.
13. The adjustable stop system of claim 12 , further comprising a strike plate mounted on the second surface for providing a magnetic attraction with the magnet.
14. The adjustable stop system of claim 13 , wherein the magnet comprises a rare earth magnet and the strike plate comprises a ferromagnetic material.
