As shown in FIG. 1, the door stopper device includes a body-side stopper bracket 3 attached to the side panel 2 of the body, a door-side stopper bracket 4 attached to the back door 1, and a stopper rubber 5 on the door-side stopper bracket 4. A hook 6 as a hook which can be attached to and detached from the body-side stopper bracket 3 and a clamp 7 which is attached to the back door 1 and holds the hook 6 in the retracted position when the door is closed.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the body side stopper bracket 3 is formed by bending a metal round bar into a substantially U-shape, and flat portions 3A formed at both ends thereof are provided. The side panel 2 is fixed to the flange 2A at the upper corner of the rear wheel house by welding.
That is, the body-side stopper bracket 3 is disposed in the rear wheel house portion 8 of the side panel 2 so as to hang down so that the U-shaped surface thereof is parallel to the front-rear direction, and is flush with the outer surface of the side panel 2. It is set to the position or slightly retracted position.

Further, a bar 3D is suspended between the front rod portion 3B and the rear rod portion 3C on the body side stopper bracket 3, and the bar 3D is raised above the hook 6 when the hook 6 is hooked. To restrict the displacement and reinforce the bracket. Further, in this embodiment, the inclination angle α of the rear rod portion 3C of the body-side stopper bracket 3 is set to an appropriate angle for engaging the hook 6, and the inclination angle の of the front rod portion 3B is engaged by the hook 6. The angle is set so that it cannot be obtained. This is because if the angle of inclination of the front rod portion 3B is set between Θ and α, even if the hook 6 is statically hooked, it may come off when an external force acts. This is to avoid this. However, the inclination angle Θ of the front rod portion 3B is
Similarly to the inclination angle α of C, an appropriate angle for hooking the hook 6 may be set from the beginning.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the door-side stopper bracket 4 has a stopper rubber 5 as an elastic member having a substantially rectangular loop shape formed on a cylindrical portion 4A formed by folding a metal flat plate. One end is rotatably assembled, and is fixed to a vertical edge 1A (also referred to as a parting portion) on the free end side of the back door 1 by a bolt 9. And
The stopper rubber 5 includes the body-side stopper bracket 3.
A metal hook 6 that can be hooked and unwound from is mounted around the base end. However, it is desirable that the hook 6 be set so as to freely rotate with respect to the stopper rubber 5. Below the door-side stopper bracket 4, a clamp 7 for holding and holding the hook 6 when the door is closed is attached to the vertical edge 1A of the back door 1. The clamp 7 is formed in a substantially Z-shape having a square hole 7 </ b> A for hooking, and is fixed by a bolt 10.

As shown in FIG. 3, a weather strip 11 for sealing a gap between the left and right back doors 1 is generally mounted on the vertical edges 1A of the left and right back doors 1. Therefore, when the door-side stop bracket 4 and the clamp 7 are mounted, their mounting positions are set so as not to interfere with the weather strip 11.

The door stopper device of the present embodiment is constructed as described above. When the back door 1 is opened, the back door 1 is first rotated about 270 °. Subsequently, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, if the hook 6 is stretched by the stopper rubber 5 and hooked on the rear rod portion 3 </ b> C of the body side stopper bracket 3, the back door 1 can be held at the maximum open position. . In this case, upward displacement of the hook 6 is restricted by the bar 3D, and damage when the hook 6 interferes with the flange 2A is avoided.

On the other hand, when the back door 1 is closed, it is stored by operating in the reverse procedure to the above-described opening. That is, after the hook 6 is removed from the body-side stopper bracket 3, the hook 6 is hooked on the square hole 7A of the clamp 7, and thereafter,
When the back door 1 is closed, the hook 6 is stored along the vertical edge 1A of the back door 1. Note that the hook 6 described above is used.
The operation of engaging and disengaging the body side stopper bracket 3 and the clamp 7 can be performed while the stopper rubber 5 is being stretched, so that the engagement and disengagement is extremely easy, and the latched state is maintained by the pulling action of the stopper rubber 5.
It does not come off accidentally.

However, in the door stopper device of the present embodiment, when the back door 1 is normally closed,
The door-side stopper bracket 4, the hook 6, and the like are stored in a state of being concealed between the vertical edges 1A of the left and right back doors 1,
Further, since the body-side stopper bracket 3 is provided on the lower surface of the flange 2A of the side panel 2 in the rear wheel house portion 8 and does not protrude outward from the outer surface of the side panel 2, the safety is improved and the appearance is improved. It becomes effective above.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, L is provided on the body side stopper bracket 3 below the rear rod portion 3C.
The L-shaped plate 3E is welded and the L-shaped plate 3E is fixed to the flange 2A of the rear wheel house 8 by welding, and the other configuration is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the rigidity of the wheel house portion 8 can be increased as compared with the above-described embodiment by fixing the body-side stopper bracket 3 to the flange 2A at three points. This is effective in a commercial vehicle in which the rear wheel house section 8 is constituted by one panel.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed as needed. For example, the fixing means for the body side stopper bracket 3 to the flange 2A may be changed from welding to bolt, and the door side stopper bracket 4 and the back door 2 of the clamp 7 may be used.
Changing the fixing means to the welding from the bolts 9 and 10 to welding, changing the setting position of the clamp 7 above the door side stopper bracket 4, changing the body side stopper bracket 3 to a plate with a hole, an elastic member. It is possible to change the stopper rubber 5 as a coil spring or the like. Further, the back door 2 is not limited to the double door type and may be a single door type. In short, the present invention is applicable to a side-opening back door.
