1. A hinge-pin doorstop formed from a continuous length of steel and havinga loop-position adapted to encircle the hinge pin,a first arm-portion extending generally radially from said loop-position,a bumper-member mounted on said first-arm portion in position for engagement with the door,a second arm-portion extending generally radially from said loop-portion into spaced relationship with respect to said first arm-portion,a second bumper-member mounted on said second arm-portion in position for engagement with the door frame,said arm-portions being disposed such that when the door is swung open the desired amount said arm-portions are squeezed between the door and frame resiliently stopping the door from opening farther, the resilience of said arm-portions being sufficient to absorb enough of the force exerted by the door against them to prevent damage to the surfaces of the door and frame at the points engaged by said bumper-members.
