Abstract: A door lock which is formed integrally with a motor vehicle door hinge and which includes a housing fixedly secured to the hinge pin or the one of the first and second hinge halves, a holding element having at least a partially curved running track concentric with a hinge pin axis and a plurality of detent points, a plurality of braking and locking members cooperating with the holding element for retaining a motor vehicle door in a predetermined braking and locking position, and formed as rolling bodies rotatable about respective support axles having their axes extending transverse to hinge pin axis, a carrier for supporting the braking and locking members, a spring for biasing the braking and locking members into engagement with the holding element, and an arrangement securing the holding element or the carrier to the housing without a possibility of rotation relative thereto and for axial displacement relative thereto.

Abstract: A door lock formed integrally with a motor vehicle door hinge and including a housing, a first bearing ring forming a holding element with a curved running track concentric with a pin axis and a plurality of detent points, a plurality of braking and locking members rotatable about respective axes extending transverse to a hinge pin axis, a spring for biasing the braking and locking members into engagement with the holding element, a second, flat-surface, bearing ring for engaging the bearing and locking members opposite the first bearing ring, and a cage for receiving the braking and locking members, with the cage and the first, holding element-forming, bearing ring being alternatively fixedly connectable with the hinge pin and the one of the first and second hinge halves without a possibility of rotation relatively to the hinge pin and the hinge half, respectively.
