Abstract

A door checker for an automobile, includes: a case 1 fixed to a door D; a check plate 6 which movably penetrates the case 1 and is turnably connected to a body B; a pair of upper and lower detent members 16 slidably held in the case 1 to hold the door D at a predetermined opening position in cooperation with a pair of upper and lower detent surfaces 10 of the check plate 6; and an elastic member 17 which is made of an elastic material for generating a detent force between the detent member 16 and the detent surface 10. In this door checker, a drain hole 20 is provided in the check plate 6 in a portion projecting into the door D from the case 1 and at least at a position close to the case 1 as to penetrate the upper and lower detent surfaces 10 when the door is fully closed. Thus, even if rainwater and the like go into the door D and drop onto the upper surface of the check plate 6, it is drained quickly from the check plate 6 and are prevented from flowing into the case 1.
