2048637 9010135 PCTABS00002 A resilient doorstop may be inexpensively manufactured to provide a door-engaging portion (10) and a base portion (20) interconnected with two or more serially connect, long, straight lengths of rod (32, 33) laying transverse to the door-engaging portion and having a length sufficient that the door-engaging portion may be substantially deformed in the direction of the base portion without exceeding the elastic limit of the rod. The resilient doorstop is preferably formed from a single, resilient, bent rod and includes a U-shaped portion (31) with a central axis laying transverse to the central axis of the door-engaging portion to provide one or more long straight lengths of rod, permitting deformation of the door-engaging portion towards the base portion through torsional deformation and urging the door-engaging portion away from the base portion through torsional resilience. The base portion (20) may be a large U-shaped portion at one end of the rod, and the door-engaging portion (10) may be a smaller U-shaped portion at the other end of the rod that is positioned to be concentric with the larger, U-shaped, base portion so that the smaller door-engaging portion may be deformed into substantially the same plane as the base portion, thereby permitting the doorstop to be inserted into a space between the door and the floor that is only slightly greater than the thickness of the rod from which the doorstop is formed.
