Abstract
The present invention relates to a door check device comprising first and second link member engaging structures and a housing. The engaging structures engage opposing face surfaces of an elongated link member. The first engaging structure and the first opposing face surface are configured so as to engage with one another in a first transverse movement restricting relationship and the second engaging structure and the second opposing face surface are also so configured. The engaging structures each are constructed and arranged such that, when the link member is caused to undergo a yaw movement along a yaw plane, the engaging structures are allowed to move along with the link member to thereby facilitate the first and second engaging structures remaining engaged with the first and second face surfaces in the aforesaid first and second transverse movement restricting relationships, respectively.
