DOOR BRACE

摘要

A door brace (10) comprising: an engagement member (12) comprising a bottom flange (14) comprising one face comprising a textured surface (14a) to engage with a door (34); an angled leg (20) comprising a first section (22) hingedly connected at one end to the wall and a second section (23) extending from the first section at a first angle, the leg being movable between a stowed position and an extended position in which the first section makes a second angle, larger than the first angle, to the wall; an engagement foot (26) pivotably mounted on a mounting element (24) having an adjustable length; and a hinge stop configured to prevent the leg moving beyond a maximum extended position. Wherein, in an extended position, the second section of the leg extends at a third angle to the wall equal to the difference between the second and first angles and the engagement foot causes a clamping force to be applied to the door.

1. A door brace comprising:
a door engagement member comprising a bottom flange and an engagement wall, the bottom flange being adapted to be located under a bottom edge of a door and comprising one face comprising a textured surface adapted to engage with the door, and the engagement wall having one face adapted to be located against part of one side of the door; an angled leg comprising a first section hingedly connected at one end to an opposite face of the engagement wall and a second section extending from the first section at a first angle, the leg being movable between a stowed position and an extended position in which the first section makes a second angle, larger than the first angle, to the engagement wall; an engagement foot pivotably mounted on a mounting element provided at the other end of the leg, the length of the mounting element being adjustable to move the engagement foot between a released position and an engagement position; and a hinge stop configured to prevent the leg moving beyond a maximum extended position in which the second angle has a maximum value, wherein, in a said extended position, the second section of the leg extends at a third angle to the engagement wall equal to the difference between the second and first angles and the engagement foot in the engagement position causes a clamping force to be applied to the door.
