<p>A safety device for use with a door panel hinged to another door element such as another door or to a door frame or jamb for relative swinging motion of the door panel. The device has a block sized and configured to insert into a triangular space formed between a door panel and another door element to which the door panel is hinged when the door panel is in a non-closed position, but to resist traverse through a through-gap between the door panel and the other door element to which it is hinged. A keeper is connected to the block, the keeper having a first portion thereof being sized to fit through the through-gap, and a second portion adapted to resist traverse through the through-gap when in normal operation of the door after installation of the safety device. A first portion of the keeper is resilient, thus permitting a distance between the second portion of the keeper and the block to be varied without disconnecting the block from the keeper while providing a bias force to urge the block into the triangular space when the door is in a non-closed position. The first portion of the keeper is sized to permit a distance between the block and the second portion , of the keeper to be sufficient to permit the block to be completely out of the triangular space while still being connected to the second portion of the keeper.</p> |
