ABSTRACT:
During operation of a construction vehicle, such as a wheel-loader, the operator may desire to open the door of the vehicle's cab for ventilation purposes. Full opening of the door may be obstructed by the deposition of a guard rail or the like, mounted on the platform of the cab, whereby the door can be only partially opened. It is thus desirable to provide a door holder which may be selectively positioned on the platform to hold the door in any desired, open position. In addition, standard latch mechanisms for holding a door of this type in its fully open position are generally mounted externally on the cab and are thus exposed to potential damage. The door holder (13) of this invention includes a latch member (14) movable between retracted and extended positions on the vehicle, and a hook (27) secured on a door (11) for engaging the latch member when the door is in open position and the latch member is in its extended position. The latch member is preferably composed of an elastomeric material to permit stretching thereof to its extended position.
