Patent ID: 7383614

Claim:
A door checker for an automobile, comprising: a check lever formed, at a proximal end thereof, with a boss swingingly connected to a bracket fixed to a body of the automobile via a shaft; a case having through holes through which the check lever passes, the case being fixed to a door hinge-connected to the body; a pair of shoes housed in the case and in sliding contact with detent surfaces of the check lever; and elastic members housed in the case, wherein the elastic members urge the shoes toward the detent surfaces, wherein the check lever is provided, at a distal end thereof, with a full open stopper which comes into contact with an external end wall of the case to define a full open position of the door, wherein the shoes are each integrally formed with: an engagement portion which engages the mating detent surface of the check lever, and a pair of guide walls extending in a direction orthogonal from the engagement portion and which are placed in sliding contact with both side surfaces of the check lever, which are arranged in a width direction of the detent surfaces of the check lever, wherein the full open stopper is formed integrally with the check lever, and wherein the pair of guide walls of one of the shoes are spaced from the pair of guide walls of the other of the shoes in the orthogonal direction and the boss is formed to be capable of passing through the through holes in the case and between the pairs of shoes while avoiding interference of the boss with the guide walls of the shoes when the check lever is being assembled into the case.
