- 12. The door catch as claimed in claim 9, wherein the entry ramp is at a smaller angle to the direction of travel than the holding ramp.
- 13. The door catch as claimed in claim 9, wherein an angle between the direction of travel and the entry ramp is 10° to 20° .
- 14. The door catch as claimed in claim 9, wherein an angle between the direction of travel and the holding ramp is 30° to 60° .
- 15. The door catch as claimed in claim 9, wherein the holding ramp is adjoined by a traversing section extending in the direction of travel.
- 16. The door catch as claimed in claim 15, wherein the traversing section is adjoined by a raised portion.
- 17. The door catch as claimed in claim 16, wherein the raised portion comprises a ramp.
- 18. The door catch as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nose is supported on the holder via a compression spring.
