What can I use it for?
In addition to its use as a normal door or window stopper, Blockystar can help to:
- Prevent chidlren (or adults) suffer any damage to their fingers or hands (additionally if Blockystar is placed in a high places, children cannot reach it to remove it).
- Facilitate the mobility of older people by not having to open any doors, Blockystar keeps them open.
- Facilitate housework: home ventilation, quick drying of floors...
Why does it work?
Thanks to its triangular, dented design and its material, the more strain put on Blockystar, the greater its braking force. The physical explanation for this is that Blockystar tends to recover its original shape, exerting an opposing force to that exerted by the deformation.
Usually most of Blockystar braking force is obtained when the curved side is in contact with the floor or wall.
