ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a door check mechanism providing infinite stable positions with applications more specifically in the area of motor vehicles, comprising on the one hand an articulated guiding arm (1), mounted to the vehicle body or to the door, and on the other hand a mechanism (9), mounted to the other part, either the door or the vehicle body, in such a way that guiding arm (1) penetrates through mechanism (9) with a relative displacement between these two parts, the wedging function resulting from a blocking of guiding arm (1) by mechanism (9).Mechanism (9) comprises a carriage device (2), including 2 braking-rollers (21) and (22), held against each other as well as against guiding arm (1), in order to ensure the wedging function. When a force, greater than a predefined load is exerted on the door, rollers (21) and (22) are such that: either one of them is pulled aside from guiding arm (1), allowing a free rotation and the release of the mechanism, or both rollers are moved aside from each other, allowing them to roll along guiding arm (1), leading to release the mechanism. The re-locking is automatically done by the spring device (3), as soon as the opening or closing load disappears.
