Car door holder with door holding hinge on body beam

摘要

The holder (1) has a retaining band (2) which pivots about a hinge (6) on the structure of a vehicle, and has a component (12) which is fixed to a door. The band extends through the component, and can move with respect to it, so that the free end (14) of the band projects beyond it with a variable length. The band is guided by a lateral guide (24) over a distance (A) in a direction (Y-Y), which is roughly normal to the hinge axis (8) and the direction of extension (X-X). The distance may be chosen such that with the door closed, the ratio of the distances from the hinge axis to the end of the component (lG) and to the end of the band (lF) is at least 1:2, and is preferably between 1:1.6 and 1:1.2, and is especially not greater than 1:1.
