Doorstop lifting device and method

The Lift Stop device includes an aluminum rod that is attached to a doorstop that is secured to a door for the purpose of lifting a doorstop from its down position to an up position.

Be it known that I Francis Sassone, a citizen of the United States, residing in New Orleans, La., have invented a certain new and useful device to lift a doorstop from a down position to an up position; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying documentation which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to a certain new device useful in lifting doorstops and I aim to provide a device which its specific function is designed to lift a door stop from a down position to an up position by means of an aluminum rod2, fastened to a door, that is attached to a doorstop5, via a yoke8, that actuates the lifting of a doorstop when the aluminum rod2, is pulled upward.

An aluminum rod2, is attached vertically to a door with two brackets3, through which an aluminum rod2, is inserted, allowing an aluminum rod2, to vertically slide up and down.

LIFT STOP III is made with an aluminum rod, approximately 1.25 centimeters in diameter. The rod will be attached to a door with three brackets with small hoops, allowing the rod to slide up and down. The top of the rod will have an “L” shape in it, for pulling the rod upward. The rod will be attached to the doorstop by a via the metal “YOKE”, through a hole drilled through the doorstop, that will pull the doorstop upward into its “up” position to allow the door to close.

A vertically attached aluminum rod2, is pulled upward through two eye brackets3, by placing a finger under an “L” shape bend7, at the top of an aluminum rod2, commencing to pull an aluminum rod2upward floor hence lifting a doorstop5, into an upright position, allowing a door to close.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The LIFT STOP III was designed and manufactured to literally “lift” a doorstop from its down position to its up position without having to bend over to lift it by hand or to “kick” it back up with the toe of a shoe. There is no product or device like this on the market.

The design is a simple rod that is attached to any conventional wooden or metal door with a doorstop already attached to the door or as a complete unit attached to the doorstop. The LIFT STOP III will be sold as a complete unit, with specific, easy to follow instructions on how to install it. Included in the unit will be an aluminum rod that will come in gold or silver already attached at the manufacturer to the door stop, three eye hole mounting brackets to mount the rod to the door and a set of wood and metal screws for each bracket. Wood screws for a wooden door, metal screws for a metal door.

The method of installation is to screw the doorstop to the bottom of the door, then attach the brackets, holding the rod, evenly spaced onto the door.

The LIFT STOP III with the LIFT RING can be used on doors where the doorstop is already attached and in use.

The method of installation: slip the existing door stop through the LIFT RING, then attach the rod to door by using the attached brackets, holding the rod, onto the door.
