  • Publication number: 20230349210
    Abstract: A door stopper includes a stopper provided at a first object that is one of a vehicle body or a door and a rod rotatably provided at a second object that is the other one of the vehicle body or the door. The rod has a first portion and a second portion bent from the first portion and rotatably supported by the second object. The first portion of the rod and the stopper move relative to each other according to opening or closing of the door. The first portion of the rod engages with the stopper when the door is opened to a predetermined degree of opening. The door stopper restricts the relative movement of the first portion and the stopper by engagement between the first portion and the stopper to limit the degree of opening of the door.
