The present invention refers to a magnetically activated mechanical doorstop .

Obj ect of the present invention is providing a magnetically activated mechanical doorstop which allows the door to be locked in one direction in a clear and precise manner, while still leaving the possibility of adj ustment .

Another obj ect of the present invention is allowing the element to be correctly repositioned in the j amb in the event of excessive resistance from the mechanical doorstop during the door opening phase .

The above and other obj ects and advantages of the invention, as will appear from the following description, are achieved with a magnetically activated mechanical doorstop as described in claim 1 . Preferred embodiments and non-trivial variants of the present invention form the subj ect matter of the dependent claims . It is understood that all attached claims form an integral part of the present description .

It will be immediately obvious that innumerable variations and modi fications may be made to what has been described ( for example relating to shape , dimensions , arrangements and parts with equivalent functions ) without departing from the scope of protection of the invention as appears from the attached claims .

FIG . 12 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the magnetic element of the magnetically activated mechanical doorstop for doors with push and pull opening in both directions installed in the j amb according to the present invention .

The present invention consists of a magnetically activated mechanical doorstop 1 comprising :

- at least one pin 3 installed in a hollow element 5 , the hollow element 5 beking operatively connected to a door 7 ;

- at least one magnetic element 9 operatively connected to a amb 11 .

Advantageously, the magnetic element 9 is designed to attract and block the pin 3 by magnetic force when the door 7 is in its closed operating position . Furthermore , the magnetic element 9 is designed to bring the door 7 to its open operating position when the magnetic attraction between the pin 3 and the magnetic element 9 ceases ; subsequently, the pin 3 falls back by force o f gravity in the hollow element 5 .

The magnetically activated mechanical doorstop 1 according to the present invention consists of two round elements for which the same hole with a diameter of 20 mm is made in the door 7 and in the j amb 11 .

In particular, a cylindrical magnetic pin 3 is inserted in the hollow element 5 in the door 7 : this pin 3 is al so free to move vertically inside the hollow element 5 .

Advantageously, by means of an Allen key, it is possible to rotate the hollow element 5 by adj usting it both laterally and in depth .

Furthermore , in a variation of the magnetically activated mechanical doorstop of the invention, the magnetic element 9 has a recess 13 externally designed to attract and block the pin 3 present in the door 7 panel when it is closing for doors with push and pull opening in both directions . Advantageously, the magnetically activated mechanical doorstop 1 therefore allows the door 7 to be locked in one direction in a clear and precise manner, while still leaving the possibility of adj ustment .

During assembly, excessive res istance will indicate incorrect installation, thus allowing the magnetic element 9 to be correctly repositioned in the j amb 11 . Furthermore , the magnetic element 9 can be operatively connected to the amb 11 by means of at least one screw 15 .
