  • Patent number: 7908712
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge for a vehicle door, comprising a first hinge part that can be fixed to the door or the door frame, a second hinge part which is fixed to the other of the two components, i.e. the door frame or the door, and a hinge pin that defines a swiveling axis of the hinge and pivotally connects the first hinge part and the second hinge part to each other. The hinge pin is arranged nonrotably on the first hinge part or the second hinge part while being rotatably mounted in the other hinge part. The hinge further comprises an end stop which limits an opening movement of the first hinge part and the second hinge part. In order to create a hinge that allows the vehicle door to be opened securely, an adjusting mechanism which is assigned to the first hinge part or the second hinge part is provided for adjusting the end stop.

  • Patent number: 6851159
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door hinge for a door of a vehicle. The inventive hinge comprises a first and a second guiding arrangement (7, 20; 7, 30, 31) for fixing at least one holding position for the door hinge. Said hinge also comprises a first and a seond free end (19) which engage with the first and second guiding arrangements. Said ends belong to a spring element (16). The aim of the invention is to provide a door hinge that is constructed in a compact manner and reliably enables to fix the door hinge, whereby moments crosswise in relation to the swivelling axis are prevented. To this end, the first free end (19) and the second free end (19) respectively are arranged in a mirror-inverted manner in relation to each other and at the remaining halve (3) of the hinge.
