Abstract
A door stop having an elongate, one piece yieldable plastic body and a mounting screw extending from one end of the body. The body includes a base portion in which the mounting screw is firmly anchored and a shank extending from and having a reduced neck adjacent the base portion. The body yields longitudinally without buckling upon impact of a door against the stop to cushion the impact, and bends laterally at the reduced neck upon lateral contact of an object with the stop. The stop is devoid of separable parts or sharp edges which might injure persons, particularly children, who come into contact with the stop, and preferably utilizes as the mounting screw a screw eye about which the plastic body may be molded to firmly join the body and screw.
