Reinforced device for temporarily holding an opening element in an ajar position
A device for temporarily holding an opening element in an ajar position relative to a stationary element of a body of a vehicle, including a body provided with at least one mounting method, and a retaining method including a tab a first end of which is designed to cooperate with a first flange of a housing and a second end of which provides a junction with the body, wherein the tab includes, between the first end and the second end, an intermediate area including at least one section configured to distribute stresses applied to the tab when the device is moved to the ajar position or the fully open position.
1. A temporary device for holding an opening element in an ajar position relative to a fixed element of a vehicle bodywork, comprising
a body provided with at least one mounting means, and
a retaining means comprising a tab, wherein the tab comprises
a first end designed to cooperate with a first flange of a housing, the housing being directly integrated on the opening element or the fixed element of the bodywork or being positioned on an interface which will be fixed to the bodywork,
an abutment configured to cooperate with a second flange of the housing,
a second end which provides a junction to the body and is connected to the body so that the second end is oriented along an axis of elongation of the abutment, and
an intermediate zone, disposed between the first end and the second end, comprising at least one section that is curved and configured to distribute stresses applied to the tab when placing the device in the ajar position or in the opening position, the section being designed to receive and absorb most of the stresses absorbed by the tab.
2. The temporary holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the section has a concave shape with respect to a plane in which the tab extends.
3. The temporary holding device according to claim 1 , wherein the section has a convex shape relative to a plane in which the tab extends.
4. The temporary holding device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one elastic deformation element which is connected to the tab and the body.
5. The temporary holding device according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic deformation element comprises at least one curved element configured to absorb part of the stresses applied to the elastic deformation element when placed in the ajar position or in the opening position of the device.
6. The temporary holding device according to claim 5 , wherein the curved element is positioned between a first segment and a second segment so as to form a gripper.
7. The temporary holding device according to claim 5 , wherein the curved element comprises at least one alternation of a concave element and a convex element with respect to a plane in which the curved element extends.
8. The temporary holding device according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic deformation element is connected to the body at a distance from the junction between the second end of the tab and the body.
9. The temporary holding device according to claim 4 , wherein the elastic deformation element, the body and the tab delimit an outline of a recessed closed surface.
10. A vehicle comprising at least one of the temporary holding device according to claim 1 .
