26 or the floor to which the device 10 is attached the resilient material provides sufficient leeway so that when the user steps down on the stepper plate and the door 12 is opened the distal end 24 may ride up on the face of the door 12 and be stopped by the groove or plate mounted to the door 12 before distal end 60 touches the surface at this position the resilient material or sponge material is not fully compressed referring now to fig6 a 6d the stopper plate 22 is shown the stopper plate may have slot 54 that receives pin 42 the stopper plate 22 may have a stepped configuration at its proximal end portion and be receivable into a notch 64 see fig7 b of the stepper plate 20 fig6 b is a front view of the stopper plate 22 figured 6 c is a right side view of the stopper plate 22 fig6 d is a top view of the stopper plate 22 referring now to fig7 a the stepper plate 20 is shown the stepper plate may have a hole 66 that receives pin 48 and hole 68 that receives pin 50 fig7 a is a perspective of the stepper plate 20 fig7 b is a front view of the stepper plate 20 fig7 c is a right side view of the stepper plate 20 fig7 d is a top view of the stepper plate 20 referring now to fig8 a 8d the base 26 is shown fig8 a is a perspective view of the base 26 fig8 b is a front view of the base 26 fig8 c is a right side view.
