Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a bonnet holding device for vehicle. More specifically, it pertains to a simple, compact, and cost effective bonnet holding device for vehicle which allows an operator to open, hold, and close the bonnet with simple, and safe construction involving least maintenance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] A bonnet is a cover over front portion of a vehicle including an engine, engine auxiliary components, and other parts of vehicle situated in the front portion. Opening, holding of bonnet in opened position and closing of bonnet is required during maintenance and repair to allow access to an engine compartment and other auxiliary components.
[0004] Conventionally, a long rod and a bracket is coupled with a bonnet and front portion of vehicle such that an operator manually locks long rod with bracket for restricting bonnet movement in an open position. Further, operator manually unlocks long rod from a bracket for closing bonnet of a vehicle. It is difficult to accommodate sufficiently long length of rod in small sized bonnets. Further, there is a risk of accident while manually closing and opening of bonnet by a long rod. For instance, an operator, while repairing engine under bonnet, by mistake can hit a long rod with his hand which can unlock long rod from bracket causing accident and injury.
[0005] In another existing technique, gas spring is coupled with a bonnet of a vehicle for opening, holding in open position, and closing of a bonnet. Disadvantage with existing technique is that gas leakage may occur in gas spring after a period of time making function ineffective. Moreover, gas spring is costlier than long rod and bracket and leads to higher maintenance cost also.
[0006] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a simple, reliable, and cost effective bonnet holding device for vehicle which locks bonnet in an open position and allows an operator to unlock and close bonnet considering safety of the operator and involving least maintenance cost.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0007] A general object of the present disclosure is to provide a simple and reliable bonnet holding device for vehicle which allows an operator to open, hold, and close the bonnet with simple, and safe construction involving least maintenance.
[0008] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle which does not require frequent periodic maintenance.
[0009] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle which can be installed on small sized bonnets.
[0010] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle which ensures safety of an operator.
[0011] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle which automatically holds bonnet in an open position.
[0012] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle which has positive locking ensuring safe working under bonnet during service and repairs.
[0013] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle which is rigid, robust, and cost effective.
[0014] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bonnet holding device for vehicle.
[0015] These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In the close position 200, the biasing means 130 can be in the retracted position. The first support member 108 can be pivotally coupled with the partition member 136, such that the bonnet 140 can be manually closed to cover an engine compartment, auxiliary components of the engine, and front portion of the vehicle. The first limiting means 126 can engage with the guiding means 122 to stop relative movement of the second member 104 and the first member 102 in the close position 200.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the operator can pull or push the disengaging member 138 to enable the relative movement between the second member 104 and the first member 102 from the open position 100 to the close position 200 of the bonnet 140. While closing the bonnet 140, the biasing means 130 can move from the extended position to the retracted position. The guiding means 122 can enable movement between the second limiting means 128 and the first limiting means 126. In a movement from the open position to the close position, the leading end and the trailing end of the biasing means move towards proximity of each other.
[0069] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C ….and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc. The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0070] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
