Abstract:
1. A door stopper comprising: a base plate and a pivoting arm, the base plate being pivotally connected to the pivoting arm in a manner that allows the pivoting arm to move between an operating position and a storage position, the pivoting arm comprising a rectangular arm body of definite length terminating in a first arm end and second arm end and a triangular jamb projection that is mounted to the pivoting arm proximate to the second arm end, the jamb projection forming a tip that is located up and away from the pivoting arm and an arcuate outer edge connecting the tip to the second arm end, the arcuate outer edge being canted away from the second arm end and towards the first arm end; wherein the base plate is attached to a side of a door of a doorway proximate to an outer side edge of said door in a manner that allows the pivoting arm to be gravity-biased to automatically move from the storage position to the operating position upon the opening of the door in the doorway, the operating position has the pivoting arm placed to bring the tip and the arcuate outer edge beyond the outer side edge and into contact with a doorframe to prevent the door from fully closing within the doorway, the storage position has the pivoting arm placed within the limit of the outer side edge so that the tip and the arcuate outer edge do not contact the doorframe to allow the door to fully close within the doorway.
