Abstract

A portable door guard for sliding over a hinge of a door, the portable door guard comprising a body comprising a hollow cylindrical section including an opening gap along the length of the hollow cylindrical section on a stationary section of a back face of the body, the hollow cylindrical section comprising a “C” shaped profile capable of fitting over a hinge, wherein the hinge comprises a barrel, a first wing, and a second wing, the first wing being mounted on a door frame, and the second wing being mounted onto the door, and the barrel holding the first wing and the second wing together while acting as a pivot. The portable door guard further comprising a body section configured to impede the door from opening more than a given amount, the body section capable of being extended and shortened.

Claims (17)

1. A portable door guard apparatus for sliding over a hinge of a door, the portable door guard comprising:

a body comprising a hollow cylindrical section including an opening gap along the length of the hollow cylindrical section on a stationary section of a back face of the body relative to at least one body section, the hollow cylindrical section comprising a “C” shaped profile capable of fitting over a hinge, wherein the hinge comprises a barrel, a first wing, and a second wing, the first wing being mounted on a door frame, and the second wing being mounted onto the door, and the barrel holding the first wing and the second wing together while acting as a pivot; and

the at least one body section configured to impede the door from opening more than a given amount, the at least one body section comprising:

a latch at the bottom end of the back face of the body operative to extend and retract across an open space of the bottom end of the back face that extends and shortens the at least one body section;

a movable back face section coupled to a movable center operative to protrude and withdraw relative to the stationary section of the back face;

a distending mechanism on a front face section of the body for adjusting the protruding and withdrawing of the movable back face section; and

a left body and a right body adjacent to the hollow cylindrical section wherein the left body and the right body include the movable back face section.

2. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the distending mechanism further comprises a handle.

3. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 wherein the distending mechanism is configured to distend the spring coils for the protrusion of the movable back face section perpendicularly away from the stationary section of the back face.

4. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 wherein the distending mechanism protrudes through a threaded aperture in the front face section.

5. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 wherein an inner end of the distending mechanism is in contact with a contact area of a base coupled to the movable center.

6. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 further including a roof on a top end of the body operative as a reinforcement and stopper of the hollow cylindrical section.

7. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 further including a cut out area at a bottom end of the back face of the body to allow the accommodation of a protruding part of a pin of the hinge.

8. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 wherein the body further comprises an opening cut out on a side along the length of the hollow cylindrical section to allow the sliding of the apparatus from top to bottom without colliding with a protruding part of a pin of the hinge.

9. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 wherein the portable door guard apparatus is configurable with a barrel augmenter that is provided along a length of the barrel to increase the thickness of the barrel.

10. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 9 wherein the barrel augmenter includes an inward edge in one end operative as a stopper of the barrel augmenter.

11. The portable door guard apparatus of claim 1 wherein the portable door guard apparatus is configurable with a device holder attached to a base support to allow the hollow cylindrical section to slide over the device holder.
