ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for use with a vehicle having a body and a door movable between an open and a closed position for rigidly but detachably holding the door in a predetermined open position. The vehicle door is of a conventional construction having a latch mechanism in the door which engages a cylindrical striker pin secured to the vehicle body when the door is in its closed position. The device comprises an elongated rod having a striker pin secured to and extending laterally outwardly from one end of the rod. A pair of elongated tabs are secured to the other end of the rod so that the tabs extend perpendicularly outwardly from the rod with respect to the axis of the rod. In addition, the tabs are spaced apart from each other by an amount sufficient to receive the vehicle striker pin therebetween. In the use of the device, the striker pin on one end of the rod is inserted into the latch mechanism of the door while the vehicle striker pin is positioned in between the locking tabs at the other end of the rod. In this fashion, the rod maintains the door in an open position by an amount corresponding to the length of the rod.
