Definitions
- This invention relates to door checks for vehicles of the kind in which a link in the form of a strap adapted to be pivotally connected at one end to a door frame is withdrawn through a housing mounted on a complementary part of the door against a restraining force applied to the strap by the frictional co-operation with the strap of a restraining mechanism housed within the housing.
- a door check is known from FR-A-2664323 in which the housing has a U-shaped centre portion between two planar wing portions.
- the restraining mechanism comprises first and second rollers located between spaced side walls of the centre portion.
- the first roller is journalled for rotation about a fixed axis and the second roller is carried by an arm pivotal about a fixed axis and biased towards the first roller to apply a restraining force to a link extending between the rollers.
- the arm is carried by an axle which extends between the side walls. The ends of the axle project from the side walls and overlie the wing portions on either side of the centre portion.
- the biasing is provided by a pair of springs mounted on the projecting ends of the axle.
- the housing comprises a U-shaped bracket with opposed side walls and a connecting base wall.
- the restraining mechanism includes a first roller journalled for rotation about a fixed axis between the side walls and a second roller pivotally and slidably supported between a pair of straps connected to the bracket.
- the second roller is biased towards the first roller to apply a restraining force to a link extending between the rollers by a spring located between the straps.
- a door check for vehicles comprising a link in the form of a strap adapted to be pivotally connected at one end to a door frame, a housing adapted to be mounted on a complementary part of a door, the link being adapted to be withdrawn through the housing under the control of a restraining mechanism arranged to apply a restraining force by frictional co-operation with opposite faces of the link, the housing being of substantially U-shape having a pair of spaced limbs, and the restraining mechanism comprising a first roller journalled for rotation about a fixed axis extending between the limbs, a second roller carried by an arm angularly movable about a pivot axis extending between the limbs, and a spring biasing the second roller towards the first roller, and the link being so profiled that the resistance to movement of the link between the rollers varies during the length of its travel characterised in that the housing comprises a pressed metal casing or bracket, the second roller is arranged between
- the resistance to movement of the link through the rollers is smallest at a position of minimum travel, such as when the door is in a closed position, and increases as the door approaches an intermediate or a fully open position.
- the fully opened position may be defined by the co-operation of an abutment on the link with at least one of the rollers to form a bump stop.
- One of the faces of the link may be planar and the other face may be of an irregular or undulating outline so that the resistance to movement of the link varies throughout the length of its travel.
- the other face may include an inclined face leading into axially spaced recesses adapted to receive one of the rollers whereby to define intermediate open positions for the door.
- the door check illustrated in the drawings comprises a housing 1 in the form of a light-weight pressed metal casing or bracket of generally U-shaped outline including spaced limbs 2, 3 which depend from an end plate 4.
- the limbs 2, 3 terminate at their distal ends in oppositely directed cranked portions comprising a pair of aligned lugs 5 which provide mountings for fixing studs 6 by means of which the casing can be secured to a vehicle door.
- a roller 7 is journalled for rotation on a pin 8 fixedly secured at opposite ends in the limbs 2 and 3, and a second roller 9 is rotatably mounted in a recess 10 at the inner end of an arm 11 in the form of a rocker of which the outer end is mounted for angular movement about a pivot pin 12 also extending between the limbs 2 and 3.
- a compression spring 13 acts between the arm 11 and the end plate 4 to urge the roller 9 towards the roller 7.
- a link 20 in the form of a profiled strap extends through the housing 1 between the rollers 9 and 7 with a restraining force applied to it by the load in the spring 13 which is transmitted through the arm 11.
- the link 20 has a planar upper surface with which the movable roller 9 is in rolling engagement, and a lower surface of irregular or undulating configuration.
- the link 20 at one end is provided with an opening 21 to form a pivotal connection with a door frame and which is disposed at all times on one side of the housing 1.
- a portion 22 of constant thickness leads from the opening 21 to an outwardly inclined face 23, and the face 23 in turn, leads into a second, parallel sided portion 24 of greater thickness than the portion 22.
- the portion 24 terminates at an enlarged abutment 26 at the opposite free end of the link 20.
- a pair of axially spaced semi-circular recesses 27, 28 are formed in the portion 24, spaced axially between the inclined face 23 and the abutment 26.
- the resistance to movement of the link 20 through the rollers 7, 9 is smallest at a position of minimum travel, when the door is substantially in a closed position, and increases as the door approaches an intermediate or fully open position.
- the fixing stud 6 may be omitted, the housing 1 may be fixed to the door by the use of separate screws screwed into tapped holes in the lugs 5.
