A door-holding device for vehicle doors includes a door-holding rod which is swivelably attached to a structural door component. The door-holding rod extends with its other end through a holder housing mounted on another structural door component. The door-holding rod has along its length increased thickness portions which protrude outwardly transversely of the longitudinal direction of the door-holding rod. The door-holding rod is freely swivelably mounted on a carrier member with a clinch bolt or screw bolt. The carrier member is attached to one of the structural door components. A spring load is applied to the door-holding rod in axial direction of the swivel bearing of the door-holding rod. The spring rests against a head of the bolt. The bolt is mounted secured against rotation in an opening of the carrier member. The door-holding rod is supported by a conical clutch-type, axially and radially acting members on a shaft portion having smooth running surfaces of the bolt forming the axis of the swivel bearing, wherein the clutch type members provide a support which is automatically centering and free of play.
A door-holding device for motor vehicle doors, comprising a door-holding rod having first and second ends, a carrier member attached to a structural door component, the first end of the door-holding rod freely swivelably connected to the carrier member, the second end of the door-holding rod extending through a holder housing mounted on another structural door component door or door post, the door-holding rod having along its length increased thickness portions protruding outwardly transversely of the longitudinal direction of the door-holding rod, the door-holding rod and the carrier member defining openings, a bolt having an axis extending through the openings of the door-holding rod and of the carrier member, so that the door-holding rod is freely swivelable relative to the bolt, while the carrier member is non-rotatable relative to the bolt, the carrier member formed by a single shaped piece, the bolt having a head, a spring mounted between the head of the bolt and the carrier member, the bolt having a shaft portion with smooth running surfaces, a conical clutch-type, axially and radially acting means for supporting the door-holding rod on the smooth running surfaces of the bolt, wherein the support of the door-holding rod on the smooth running surfaces is automatically centering and free of play and wherein the axially and radially acting means include corresponding conically widening portions provided on the opening of the door-holding rod and on the shaft portion of the bolt.
