Definitions

  • This invention relates to a door check mechanism for holding a door in a predetermined open position.
  • Such mechanisms are conventionally used on motor car doors, and the mechanism may provide for more than one predetermined open position.
  • the invention is not however restricted to a motor car application.
  • Door check mechanisms are known where an arm runs between two surfaces which are resiliently urged towards one another.
  • the arm has depressions on it (which may be defined between raised portions on the arm) and when the resiliently urged surfaces enter a depression, the arm is held.
  • Either the arm or the resiliently urged surfaces may be mounted on the door, with the other component being mounted on the door frame.
  • spring-loaded rollers As resiliently urged surfaces, spring-loaded rollers have been used, with a body of rubber being used to provide the spring loading. Because of space constraints, the rollers have been small and have tended to jam instead of rotating. The body of rubber has needed to have a high spring rate and the rubber materials consequently available have often been adversely affected by high temperatures which occur when car bodies are painted and which result in an undesired alteration of the spring rate.
  • a door check mechanism to be mounted between two mutually hinged components, one of which is a door and the other of which is a door frame, the mechanism comprising an arm to be fixed to one component, which arm has a depression at a point along its length, and a roller unit to be fixed to the other component, the roller unit including a roller which has a rigid outer sleeve and is mounted on a central spindle with a resilient core between the sleeve and the spindle with the axis of the roller at right angles to the direction of relative movement between the two components and the arm and the roller unit being adapted to be fixed to the respective components such that the arm passes through the roller unit, the resilient core supporting the roller sleeve being able to deform resiliently to allow the roller to pass out of the depression.
  • the arm is mounted on the door frame and the roller unit is mounted on the door.
  • rollers as set forth above, a relatively large roller radius is obtained which produces a relatively large mechanical advantage when the roller encounters the edge of the depression which encourages the roller to turn.
  • a relatively large body of rubber can form the resilient core resulting in the use of a lower spring rate than would otherwise be the case. This broadens the range of resilient materials which could be used to include relatively stable materials.
  • rollers used are of the type already widely used, particularly in the automotive field, and known as flexible bushes or elastic bushes. These rollers or bushes are made, for example, by the company Metallastik Limited.
  • Part of a door frame 10 is shown in Figure 1 in conjunction with part of a door made up of an inner panel 12a and an outer .(skin) panel 12b.
  • the door is shown'in solid lines in a closed position and in dotted lines in an open position.
  • An arm 14 is mounted on the door frame 10 through a bracket 16 and a pivot 18. As seen from above in Figure 1, the arm 14 is of constant width and ends in an enlarged portion 20.
  • a roller unit 22 is mounted inside the inner skin 12a of the door.
  • the roller unit 22 comprises a yoke 24 which has a base 26 fixed to the door panel and an aperture 28 in the base to allow the arm 14 to pass through.
  • Two rollers 30 are supported on parallel spindles 32 between opposite cheeks of the yoke.
  • the rollers each have a central metal sleeve 34, an outer metal sleeve 36 and a resilient rubber core 38.
  • the arm 14 when seen in side view, has two pairs of bumps 40 which define between them a depression 42.
  • the sides of the bumps form cam surfaces on which the rollers 30 ride.
  • the arm will pass between the rollers 30. Once the door has been opened far enough to allow the rollers to pass over the first set of bumps 40, it will be held in that position by the rollers until a force is applied to the door sufficient to deform the resilent cores of the rollers and to allow the rollers to ride over the bumps.
  • the first check position will occur when the rollers lie between the two sets.
  • the second check position will occur when the rollers have passed over both sets of bumps and are restrained from further outward movement by contact between the enlarged portion 20 of the arm and the yoke 22.
  • the resilient material in the core 28 will be chosen primarily to have the correct spring rate to give the desired resistance to movement of the arm past the check positions but also to be stable under the temperature conditions which occur in paint ovens.
  • the inner and outer sleeves 34 -and 36 can be of any suitable material, not necessarily metal.
  • the inner sleeve in particular may be of a material which will form a good bearing surface against the spindle 32 so that the roller can rotate easily.
