ABSTRACT:
A door striker assembly for mounting in a vehicle door receiving aperture for engagement with a vehicle door latch. The striker has a bracket adapted to be mounted in the door aperture. The bracket has two sections joined together at an angle, and a generally L-shaped rod extends between the bracket sections. The ends of the rod are rigidly joined to the bracket sections. The base area joining the bracket sections has a width between about 2.5 to about 7.5 times the diameter of the rod. The rod is adapted to be engaged by the vehicle door latch mechanism. The bracket, rod, and a revetment cooperate to form a rigid assembly. The assembly prevents vehicle door parts from being trapped by the door striker during a collision, which improves vehicle safety by minimizing the possibility of the vehicle door being jammed shut.
