Definitions

  • This invention relates to a doorstop means particularly for a motor vehicle, and in which a draw rod is articulated at one [52] US. Cl ..l6/82, 16/179 end to the door upright by means of a pin that is substantially [51] Int. Cl.
  • Doorstop means are known in the art and are used particularly to prevent the swinging of doors of motor vehicles and are arranged so as to be able to hold the door open in two distinct positions.
  • conventional doorstop means do not make it possible to allow the door to be opened widely so as completely to remove the impediment of the door, or to lock it in an open position automatically while enabling it to be held in an intermediate position but not in any way interfering with the return of the door to the closure position.
  • the invention provides a doorstop means for use particularly in motor vehicles, said means comprising a draw rod articulated by one of its end to the upright of a hinged door by means of a pin substantially parallel to the door hinge pin but distinct therefrom, while the other end of said draw rod carries a finger arranged to be movable in slot means associated with a part of said door, said groove means comprising a slideway which extends from a point furthest from said hinge pins and towards said pins, while in the direction of the end of said slot means closest to said pins, said slideway forks into two extensions, one of said extensions curving inwards towards the door, while the other extension extends substantially perpendicular to the plane of the door and away therefrom to form a catch.
  • the two said extensions advantageously meet in a beakshaped or hook-shaped portion pointing towards the end of said slot means furthest from said hinge pins.
  • a flexible retaining member may hold the finger of the draw rod in abutment on the surface of the slot means furthest from the door.
  • the door is shown at 1, which is articulated to move about an axis 2 by means of hinges 3.
  • the axis 2 is in the form of a pin secured to the upright 4 of the door.
  • the slot or groove 8 extends from the part of the plate 7 furthest from the pins 2 and 6 and towards the said pins and is then extended, branches into two extensions 9 and 10 in that part of the plate 7 adjacent the pins 2 and 6.
  • the extension 9 extends towards the door panel and remains substantially parallel thereto while the extension 10 is substantially at right angles to the plane of the door.
  • the said extension 10 is in fact a catch portion which extends away from the surface lb.
  • the end of the draw rod 5 remote from the part articulated at 6, carries a finger 11 which rides in the slot or groove 8.
  • the center zone 12 of the draw rod 5 has a flattened portion which may be pressed manually in the fashion of a pushbutton.
  • a spring 13 is provided in this embodiment to urge the draw rod 5 in the direction away from the surface lb, thereby holding the finger 11 in abutment on the surface 14a of the slot or groove 8, the surface being that furthest from the door and extended by the catch portion 10.
  • the face of the slot or groove 8 opposite the face 14a is shown at 14b.
  • the spring 13 has been shown coaxial to the pin 6, but this arrangement is only shown by way of example and may be modified to choice.
  • the various positions which may be taken up by the door 1 as it pivots from its closed position shown in full lines to a fully open position 15, passing through an intermediate locking position 16 and positions 17, between 1 and 16 and 18 between 15 and 16 are shown in chain-dotted lines.
  • the part 9 of the slot is at 9d when the door is in position 18 while the catch is at 10c and 10e when the door is in positions 16 and 15 respectively.
  • hoodor beak-shaped portion between the extensions 9 and 10 of the slot or groove 8.
  • This hookor beak-shaped portion 19 is at positions 19c and We when the door comes into positions 16 and 15 respectively.
  • the finger 11 moves along the wall of a circle 20 which has its center at 6, whereas the center portion of the catch extension 10 describes a circle 21 having its center at 2, the two circles 20 and 21 intersecting at 22 and 23.
  • closure of the door is effected by pushing simultaneously on the zone 12 and the door. This releases the finger 11 which is in position Us in the catch 10 which is itself at position 10c. The finger 11 then moves in the manner described for the opening of the door but in the reverse direction. During the closing movement, the shape and arrangement of the portion 19 are such that the finger 11 passes over the catch 10 without moving into it. Consequently, the closure movement is continued and without interrupting this movement the finger 11 engages in the slot or groove 8 to reassume its initial position.
  • position 15 of the door is achievable at the end of an angular movement through approximately which is of advantage in certain applications such as in the case of the doors of delivery vehicles and that, from the point of view of operation, in order to ensure that the draw rod 5 accompanied by its finger 11 carries it to position 15, it is necessary that it turn about the upright 4 and thus that it should be concave.
  • Doorstop means for use particularly in connection with motor vehicle doors hinged by means of a pin for pivotal movement relatively to the vehicle body, said stop means comprising a draw rod hinged at one of its ends to the upright of the door by means of a pin substantially parallel to the door hinge pin, means associated with the door and formed with a slot comprising a slideway extending from a point furthest from the hinge pins towards said pins and forking into two extensions, one of which curves inwardly towards the door, and the other extension extending substantially perpendicular to the plane of the door and away therefrom to form a catch, said two extensions meeting in a beak-shaped portion pointing towards the end of said slot furthest from the pins and extending over said other extension, a finger connected to said draw rod adjacent its end remote from the hinge pins and arranged to be movable in said slot in a direction towards said extensions when the door is pivoted towards open position, and means urging said finger into said catch-forming extension when the door is partially open wherefore same is restrained
