Book 3 — Rope Pad Prevents Slamming of Door
Reading edition
An antislam pad, made of a piece of rope and fixed to the knobs of doors, is in general use in a large hospital. The device is made by forming loops on the end of a short section of rope, as shown, and fitting them over the door knob. This also prevents the closing of the door so that a patient may be heard in calling an attendant.—C. M. Hall, St. Louis, Missouri.
¶Curtain rollers should be arranged so that the direction of pull on the tacked edge of the curtain is away from the end.
