摘要

The retainer (1), to stop a sliding vehicle door on a guide rail between open and closed positions, has a locking pawl (6) at the guide rail which is tensed by a spring (3) towards the contact zone with the ratchet at the door. The pawl swings on a bolt (7) at the pawl carrier (2). The free end (11) of the pawl lies against a limit surface (8). The spring force is adjustable.
