ABSTRACT:
A door check arrangement for a van door is provided which, in a preferred embodiment, includes an arm connected to the door and translationally connected to the vehicle along an end; a track mounted within the vehicle receiving the arm and having a striker plate and an entrapment section; a support connected to the arm second end and having a first slot with first and second ends and a second slot with first and second surfaces angled from one another; a detent plate having a surface inclined with respect to the striker plate and also having first and second pivot pins mounted within the first and second slots; and a spring biasing the detent plate to place the first pivot pin toward the first slot first end and the second pivot pin on the first surface of the second slot, whereby motion of the door from a closed to a checked open position causes the detent plate inclined surface to contact the striker and to pivot the detent plate in a first angular direction and wherein further movement of the door toward a checked open position causes the detent plate to pivot again in a second angular direction opposite the first angular direction to place the detent plate in the entrapment section of the track with a low first threshold of force on the door in the opening direction and wherein the door is thereafter checked open even when the vehicle is on a declining surface toward the first end of the first slot.
