Abstract: Stop arrangement (1) for stopping a door which is pivotable about an axis of rotation (5), the stop arrangement includes a first member (10) which, is connected to the door and is adapted so as to interact with a second member (11) connected to a body part. The first and second members (10, 11) have surfaces (12) which face one another and are designed in such a manner in relation to one another that the torque about the axis of rotation (5) will vary when the door pivots about the axis of rotation (5). A force element (13) is arranged so as to bring the first and the second member (10, 11) together with one another with a force, the direction of which is parallel or at least essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the axis of rotation (5).

Abstract: A hinge for a door or hatch of a motor vehicle has two hinge halves (1, 2), one (1) of which has a pivot pin (6) and the other (2) of which has a bearing portion (9) pivotally mounted on the pivot pin (6). The pivot pin (6) has a spherical end portion (11), onto which the bearing portion (9) fits with a complementary shaped cavity, and a narrower neck portion (12). A lock (18) cooperates with the neck portion (12) of the pivot pin (6) and the bearing portion (9) to lock the hinge halves (1, 2) against relative movement in the axial direction of the pivot pin (6). The bearing portion (9) has a bearing sleeve (13) journalled on the pivot pin (6), including the complementary shaped cavity therein. A bearing housing (15) has an inside surface which fits over an outside surface of the bearing sleeve (13), and a fastener (16) detachably fastens the bearing sleeve (13) to the bearing housing (15).
