Mechanical device for holding a door in the open position, especially a vehicle door.

摘要

The device consists of an arm (6) sliding in a guiding component (9) fitted with runners capable of being moved apart during the passage of the arm, and means producing an elastic restoring force tending to bring the runners together. The guiding component (9) has at least one surface element (18, 19) with an external cylindrical shape connected mechanically to the runners (13, 14) and radially deformable. The means producing the restoring force consist of at least one helical spring (16, 17) mounted coaxially around the said surface element (18, 19) and in contact with it. <IMAGE>
