Definitions

  • This invention relates to door checks and holdopens.
  • Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the body pillar and a portion of the door.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross section through the center pillar and the rear door pillar showing a modified form of the invention.
  • Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
  • l is the body pillar which is here shown as the center pillar of a body.
  • This has an outer member 2 that is welded to the heavy metal stock which forms the pillar proper. welded to the shell 2 and is exposed between the door overlap flanges 4 and 5 of the front and rear doors, respectively.
  • the facing 3 and the shell 2 form a recess 6 to receive the overlap flange 5 of the rear door.
  • This rear door is hinged to swing on an axis 1 and the overlap flange turns into the recess, as shown in the dotted-lines of this figure.
  • the combined door check and holdopen is a spring arm 8 which is bolted by bolt 8 to the body pillar I.
  • This arm is a spring strip which has a curved or bowed portion which projects out to the dotted-line position I0 when the door is closed.
  • the spring arm has an elbow portion 2 which is bolted to the body pillar.
  • the hook M on the end of the arm is arranged to catch on the surface 23 of the door panel to check the door.
  • the shoulder I2 is gradually inclined it will be obvious that the door may be closed without a great deal of effort as the roller will easily climb the inclined shoulder when closing effort is exercised on the door.
  • the door pillar 21 is provided with a punched-in
  • the facing 3 is i recess 15 and a punched-out slot l6 through which the spring arm of the check member passes.
  • roller or contact member II is carried on a plate l8 which is secured to the jamb face of the door.
  • the plate has turnedin-portions H) which support the pin 20 about which the roller turns.
  • the roller has a bearing bushing 2
  • Figs. 1 and 3 where the legend Hinge Point is used, this is the hinge axis on which the door swings on the body pillar.
  • Fig. 3 there is a legend Check Position and a legend Hold Open Position. These are the angular positions from a radius parallel with the jamb face of the door projected from the hinge point when the door is finally checked and held open.
  • the check position happens, in this case, to be an angle of 68 and the hold open position an angle of 64. In other words, the door travels through 68 before it is finally checked, and then rebounds 4 to the hold open position.
  • a door check and hold-open for use on vehicle bodies or similar places comprising a spring check arm member fixedly secured on one of the pillars of the doorand body, the end 01' the check arm being curved to form a recess, and a block secured to the arm ahead of the recess and having an inclined face, a contact member secured to the inside of the other pillar and arranged when the door is thrown open to contact the inclined face on the block to force the check am out of the path of the contact member to then drop behind the block and into the recess formed by the turned-over end of the check arm to check the door and act as a hold-open.
  • a door check and hold-open for use on vehicle bodies or similar places comprising a spring check arm member fixedly secured on one-of the pillars of the door and body, the end of the check arm being curved to form a recess. and a block 20 secured to the arm ahead of the recess and hav- 4 in: an inclined face, a roller secured to the inside of the other pillar and arranged when the door is thrown open to contact the inclined face REFERENCES CITED
