Patent ID: 7690080

Claim:
A door stop comprising: a first wedge comprising a first side and a second side oriented at an acute angle relative to the first side; and a second wedge glidably connected to the first wedge, comprising a first side and a second side oriented at an acute angle relative to the first side, wherein the first side is configured to be placed into contact with a floor surface and wherein an interface between the first and second wedges is positioned at an acute angle relative to the first side of the second wedge and to the floor surface; a connection assembly that permits limited, glidable movement of the first wedge relative to the second wedge along the interface between the second side of the first wedge and the second side of the second wedge; wherein first wedge glides relative to the second wedge to stop a door before reaching a maximum length of travel; and wherein horizontal movement of a door in contact with the first wedge moves the first wedge relative to the second wedge to apply a substantially vertical force on the door to inhibit further movement of the door.
