hållöppningsfunktion

Hållöppningsfunktion refers to a feature or mechanism that allows a door or opening to remain in a partially or fully open position without needing to be held manually. This is often achieved through a device that provides resistance or a locking action.

Common examples of hållöppningsfunktion include door closers with a hold-open setting, which allows the door to be fixed at a specific angle. Another instance is the use of detents or friction stays on cabinets or hatches, preventing them from closing unexpectedly. In some vehicles, gas struts or articulated arms provide a hållöppningsfunktion for hoods, tailgates, or trunks, keeping them safely open for access. The primary purpose of such a function is to enhance convenience and safety by freeing up hands and preventing accidental closure. The specific implementation can vary widely depending on the application, from simple mechanical latches to more complex hydraulic or pneumatic systems. The term is most commonly used in Swedish and directly translates to "hold-open function."
