Patent number: 11808067Abstract: A door arrester, in particular for a door of a motor vehicle, includes a door retainer rod (30) which can be mounted on either one of the door (2) or the body (3) so as to be pivotable and has a first side (35) with profiling (35a) formed on the first side (35); and a first braking element which can be arranged on the other of the door (2) or the body (3) and in sections bears against the first side (35) of the door retainer rod (30) under the effect of a preload, and which, with the profiling (35a) of the first side (35), defines at least one retaining position. The first braking element has a central boring, the door retainer rod (30) has an elongate through-hole (33), a guide pin (40) passes through the central boring and the through-hole (33), and the guide pin (40) permits an axial movement of the first braking element along the guide pin (40).Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: EDSCHA ENGINEERING GMBHInventors: Peter Hoffmann, Heiner Ackers, Gundolf Heinrichs, Torsten Meissner

Patent number: 11359423Abstract: A retainer housing, in particular for a door check (30), includes a first housing part (2) with a cavity (3) for receiving a brake body (50) and a spring system (40) of a door check (30). The first housing part (2) has a first end (2b) and a second end (2c), and a closing piece (104) which is situated on one of the first end (2b) and second end (2c) of the housing part. The closing piece (104) has an upper face (104a) and a lower face (104b). Multiple elevations (6) are arranged on the lower face (4b; 104b) of the closing piece (4; 104), concentrically around a centre point of the lower face (4b; 104b). The elevations (6) have a stop face (7) for a spring system (40) of a door check (30).Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: EDSCHA ENGINEERING GMBHInventors: Peter Hoffmann, Josef Kasberger, Heiner Ackers, Torsten Meissner

Patent number: 10767402Abstract: The door check includes a retaining bar (20) which can be connected to one of the two door assembly parts, i.e. the door (8) or the door frame (6), and a retaining housing (13) which can be connected to the other door assembly part. In order to design a door check that allows a vehicle door to be reliably and safely blocked in an automated manner, a threaded bar (50) can be accommodated in an axially movable fashion in a cavity of the retaining bar (20).Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2015Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: EDSCHA ENGINEERING GMBHInventors: Peter Hoffmann, Gundolf Heinrichs, Torsten Meissner, Matthias Brinker, Heiner Ackers, Dietmar Rehborn

Patent number: 7870641Abstract: The invention relates to a support housing comprising a housing part for an active component of a door stay, the housing part having at a first end an opening for receiving the active component. The problem of developing a support housing which can be produced on an industrial scale easily and flexibly in line with changing requirements is solved by the invention in that the housing part comprises a cut-off extruded profile. The invention also relates to a door stay comprising a stay bar with a first side, a first active component, which co-operates with the first side of the stay bar, and a support housing with a first housing part, the first end of which is open, and with an opening for the first active component, the first housing part comprising a cut-off extruded profile.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Edscha AGInventors: Peter Hoffmann, Gundolf Heinrichs, Torsten Meissner
