Cabin door device

A door striker device for a cabin mounted on a vehicle, the cabin having a cabin frame and a door mounted to a side part of the cabin frame so as to be pivotal about a vertical axis extending in a vertical direction of the vehicle, the door being displaceable to a fully closed position, a fully open position and an intermediate position between the fully closed position and the fully open position by its pivotal movement about the vertical axis, the door striker device comprising:

• a main striker fixed to the cabin frame;
• an auxiliary striker attached to the cabin frame so as to be pivotal about a fore/aft axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
• and
• a lock device provided to the door so as to selectively engage one of the main striker and the auxiliary striker;
• wherein the auxiliary striker is pivoted outward of the cabin about the fore/aft axis to take a horizontally elongated posture and engaged with the lock device when the door is displaced and held at the intermediate position;
• wherein the auxiliary striker is pivoted inward of the cabin about the fore/aft axis to take a vertically elongated posture and the main striker is engaged with the lock device when the door is displaced and held at the fully closed position;
• wherein the main striker includes a first lock pin and the auxiliary striker includes a second lock pin;
• wherein the lock device includes a lock pawl device, the lock pawl device engaging the first lock pin when the lock device engages the main striker, and the lock pawl device engaging the second lock pin when the lock device engages the auxiliary striker;
• and
• wherein the auxiliary striker further includes a contact part, the contact part contacting the first lock pin of the main striker when the auxiliary striker is engaged with the lock device to control the pivoting range of the auxiliary striker.
