  • Patent number: 5881431
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to devices for limiting the movement of hinged panels such as doors and more particularly to a door stop that can be mounted directly on a door hinge. The door stop comprises a continuous sleeve having a semi-cylindrical inside surface surrounding the hinge barrel and two contact surfaces to engage the hinge plate of a hinge to prevent the door from opening beyond a predetermined angle. Preferably, one contact surface has a greater surface area than the other contact surface. At least one end plate containing a pin aperture is attached to one end of the sleeve. The pin aperture is sized to receive a standard hinge pin shaft therethrough.
