Description

-DOOR HOLDING DEVICE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

lo Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door holding device, particularly for motor vehicle doors. The door holding device : includes a door holding rod which is swivelably attached to a structural door component, a door or a door post. The door holding rod extends with its other end through a holder housing mounted on another structural door component or the like. The ~ door holding rod has along its length increased diameter portions - : which protrude outwardly transversely of the longitudinal ~1 :
~ : direction of the door holding rod. The door holding rod is . ~
; freely swivelably mounted on a carrier member by means of a clinch bolt or a screw bolt. The carrier member is formed by `:~ a single shaped piece and is attached to one of the structural ,:
~ ~ door components.
:;,:
~ 2. Description of ~he Prior Art , :.

~:: Door holding devices of the above-described type are ~: known. In the known door holding devices, the carrier member supporting the swivel bearing of the:door holding rod is formed by a blank of flat material which has been twisted by 90. Thus, `~ the carrier member lS made of a single-piece material blank in 1~; a punching and shaping procedure, The carrier member has a .
.` ~

stiffness which is sufficient for a secure support of the swivel bearing of the door holding rod.

However, the carrier member of the known door holding device has the disadvantage that for ensuring a sufficient stiffness a relatively thick initial material must be used. The natural stiffness of this initial materiaL is additionally reduced because the necessary cut for punching out the blank leads to a disturbance of the existing pattern of the fibers of the material, so that an even greater thickness of the initial material must be used as would be required for the actually necessary stiffness. This leads to an undesirable increase of the manufacturing costs and to an also undesirable increase in the weight of the door holding device.

Although the carrier member of the swivel bearing for the door holding rod in the known door holding device is simple to manufacture, the carrier member has the further disadvantage that it provides only in$ufficient safety with respect to a rotation o~ the bearing pin for the door holding rod and that its fastening to the structural door component, the door or the door pQSt is not absoluteIy reliable because it is secured only by surface pressure.

: :
~ In devices for supporting door holding rods on the .:
- carrier members or support members, it is further known to avoid play between the bearing opening in the door holding rod and the bearing pin extending throug~ the bearing hole by providing the bearing pin with~a deformabIe surface profiling. Specifically, it has been proposed to equip the bearing pin with an axially , . . .

directed clrcumferentlal milling. This milling deforms when the bearing pin is driven in and, thus, ensures a support of the door holdlng rod which is absolutely free of play. As a result, even after long term use, no rattling noises can ~e caused by sudden loads on the bearing by the passage through the holder housing of the increased thickness portions of the door holding rod.
However, obtaining the play-free support of the door holding rod by means of an axially directed clrcumferential milll~g has no~
been *ound fully satisfactory because the parallel profillngs of a circumferential milling can still lead to a sudden passage of the increased thickness portions of the door holding rod through the holder housing.

The present in~ention improves a door holding device of the aforedescribed type, so that the manufacturing costs and the weight o~ the door holding device are reduced. The forces resulting from the manner of operation of the door holdlng device are to be absolutely securely supported. In addition, a completely noise-free operatlon of the device is desired even : during long-term oper~tion. Finally, an optimum shape of the structural components ls to be achiev~d.

According to the present invention there is provided a door holding device for motor vehicle doors, comprising a door holding : rod having first and second ends, a carrier member h~ving a cantilevered portion attached to a structural door compo~ent, the first end of the door holding rod freely swivelably connected the : cantilevered portion of the carrier member r the second end of the door holding rod extending through a holder housing mounted on another structural door component, door or door post, the door holding rod having along its length i~creased thickness portlons protruding outwardly transversely of the longitudinal direction of the door holding rod, the door holding rod and the carrier member defining openings, a bolt extending through the opening of the door holding rod and o~ the carrier member, so that the door holding rod is freely swlvelable relative to the bolt, while the ., ., 55~3~
carrier member is non-rotatable relative to the bolt, the carrier member formed by a single shaped piece, the bolt having a head, a spring mounted between the head of the bolt and the door holding rod, the bolt having a shaft portion, the shat portion of the bolt defining a deformable surface profiling on the lenyth of the bolt extending through the opening of the door holding rod, wherein the surface profiling ensures a play-free mounting of the bolt in the opening of ths door holding rod.

In accordance with the present invention, a sprlng load is applied to the door holding xod ~n axial direction of the swivel bearing of the door holding rod, wherein the spring rests against the head o the clinch bolt or screw bolt. The :

~: - 3a -. 't ' ~ ~ ' ' '' ., ;

5~

clinch bolt or screw bolt is mounted secured against rotation in the opening of the carrier member~ The clinch bolt or screw bol-t additionally has a knurled profiling in engagement with the opening of the door holder rod, the knurled profiling ensuring an engagement which is free of play and secured against sudden rotation and also providing a bed for a supply of lubricant.

In accordance with another feature of the present invention, the carrier member is made from a portion of a round material as the initial material. The two ends of this round blank are then pressed or squeezed into two end faces extending perpendicularly to each other. A door closing device including such a carrier member has a very low weight and a sufflcient stiffness, and can be manufactured in a very simple manner. In addition, it is ensured that even after long i term use no noise lS generated within the support of the door holding rod. Moreover, the entire device can be assembled in a very simple manner.

In accordance ~ith ~nother embodiment of the invention, the $pxing resting against the head of the clinch bolt or screw balt is a spring washer or plate spring. The clinch bolt or ; .
screw bolt forms over a part of its length the swivel bearlng of the door holding rod. In order to ensure that the clinch ~- bolt or screw bolt does` not rotate rel`ati~e to the carrier member, the opening of the carrier member has a cross-sectional ~; shape which coincides with the cross-sectional shape of the .
coxresponding portion of the`clinch bolt or screw bolt. Thi~

cross-sectional shape is different from the circular shape and may particularly by polygonal or ovalO

~s~

In accordance wi~h another feature of the present invention, the shaft of the clinch bolt or screw bolt may over the portion of its length which supports the door holding rod have a greater diameter than in the portion of its length where it is engaged by the carrier me~ber.

In accordance with yet another advantageous feature of the invention, the opening of the carrier which engages the aforementioned shaft portion of the clinch bolt or screw bolt may have a conical shape at least over a portion of its depth,.
so that the thickness of the bolt shaft increases during riveting, thereby resulting in a further securing of the bearing.

For securely fas.tening the carrier member to the respective structural door component, it is further provided that the surface of the carrier me~ber resting against the structural door component hàs anchoring means which projects above the plane of the s:urface, such~as, claws or similar profilings,~so that when the carrier member is mounted, a mech~nical connection between the carrier member surface and the corresponding structural door component is automatically effected.

:
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with paxticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specifi.c obj:ects attained by its use, reference should be had to the drawings and descripti~e matter in which there is illus.trated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention.
