  • Patent number: 7203996
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge door arrester, particularly for vehicle doors, comprised of two hinge parts (2, 4), which are connected by a hinge pin (6) in a manner that permits them to swivel about a rotational axis (8) and between which a detent device (10) is integrated that defines different relative rotating positions. Said detent device (10) is comprised of at least one detent element (12), which is kinematically joined to the first hinge part (2) and which is spring-loaded in a radical working direction that is perpendicular to the rotational axis (8). The detent device is also comprised of a sliding surface (16), which is kinematically joined to the second hinge part (4), is provided essentially in the shape of a sector of a circle, is arranged, with regard to its radius of curvature, coaxial to the rotational axis (8), and which comprises at least one detent position (14) that interacts with the detent element (12).

  • Patent number: 6073308
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a hinged door check, for vehicle doors in particular, consisting of two hinged parts (2,4) which are connected swivelling around an axis of rotation (8) by a hinge pin (6) and which have a holding device (10) integrated between them defining different relative rotational positions. The holding device (10) consists first of at least one catch element (12) kinematically connected with the first hinged part (2) and spring-loaded in a working direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation (8), and secondly of a track (16) kinematically connected with the second hinged part (4), essentially shaped like the sector of a circle and arranged coaxial to the axis of rotation (8) with respect to its radius of curvature, having at least one latching point (14) cooperating with the catch element (12).

  • Patent number: 4194265
    Abstract: A door holder includes an elongated housing which has at least one first fixing member which is located on the housing in correspondence with a desired open position of the door. An elongated guiding sleeve is movably mounted in the housing for movement lengthwise thereof in response to movement of the door. At least one second fixing member is movable together with the sleeve along the housing in response to movement of the door between the open and closed positions thereof. The second fixing member is movable between a first position in which it is disengaged from the first fixing member and a second position in which the second fixing member engages the first fixing member to thereby arrest the door in the open position thereof. The second fixing member does not have any direct contact with the elongated sleeve during movement thereof between the first and second positions.
