Supporting stay for vehicle bonnet lid - is formed from rod, bent to act as buffer when stowed and lid is closed

摘要

Inside the front engine compartment (1) of a vehicle is a stay (8) made of rod material, mounted transversely, with one end (9) forming a hinge and the other end retained by a clip so that it can be swung upwards to support the lid (3) in its open position. The stay is shaped to form a resilient support when the lid is closed. Each side of a central buffer piece (13) project two curved arms (12) forming the resilient zone, and which extend towards the lid, compressed in the closed position. USE/ADVANTAGE - Simple design, preventing rattle under vibration.
