Abstract
A door checker for an automobile includes a case secured to a door, and a check plate mounted to extend through the case and supported on a body. A pair of detent members and resilient members for urging the detent members against opposite sides of the check plate are accommodated in the case. The check plate is provided with notches in which the detent members are brought into engagement to retain the door at a predetermined medium opening degree, and with a full-opening stopper adapted to receive an outer side of the case to define an opening limit for the door. In the door checker, a section of each of the opposite sides of said check plate, where each of the detent members is moved from the medium opening degree to the opening limit for the door, is formed as a continuous surface having no unevenness. Thus, a door-opening load can be prevented from changing quickly during movement of the door from a predetermined medium opening degree to the opening limit, thereby preventing the quick opening of the door to the opening limit against a user's wish.
