After the shoe has passed the brush part 2, the plate 5 returns to its original position by the action of the spring 4, at the same time dropping off the snow, sand and / or dirt left on the brush part 2 so that it does not enter the vehicle when the door is closed.

The brush part 2 may be formed of a strip of rubber, plastic, metal or the like.

The spring 4 loading the plate 5 can also be arranged in a manner other than that shown in the drawings, e.g. in connection with a joint 3, the location and structure of which may vary.

The invention has been described above with reference to one preferred embodiment thereof, but it is clear that the invention is not to be limited to the structure, size, shape or fastening method shown, but may vary within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the appended claims.
