  • Patent number: 10174536
    Abstract: A door hinge with at least one hinge axis, at least one holding arm that engages on the hinge axis and at least one contour, in which the at least one holding arm is supported on the contour with at least one section, retaining disks are arranged adjacent to the at least one holding arm and brake disks are arranged adjacent to the contour in order to generate a holding torque that is dependent on the opening angle, wherein the retaining disks and the brake disks engage into one another, and wherein at least the first holding arm, which is supported on the contour, is or can be stressed at least relative to the contour by a basic clamping force.

  • Patent number: 7895712
    Abstract: A door hinge for a motor vehicle comprises a column console that can be arranged on a column of a door frame, a door console that can be attached to a motor vehicle door assigned to the door frame, wherein the door console and the column console are pin-jointed together via a hinge pin and the door console or column console is formed from two releasably connected partial units, which rest against each other at assigned contact areas. In order to provide a separable motor vehicle door hinge with an at least two-piece door or column console, which enables a dimensionally accurate restoration of an original installation position even after a separation, it is provided that the contact surfaces on the door and/or column console are formed by delineated partial surfaces.
