【発明の名称】一体となった制動および保持機能を備える自動車のドアヒンジ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002512330
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door hinge having an integrated braking and holding function. Said door hinge is comprised of a first hinge half which acts upon a door assembly part, a door, or a door pillar, and of a second hinge halve which acts upon another door assembly part. The door hinge also comprises a hinge pin which pivotally connects both hinge halves to one another. The hinge pin is made of a solid material and is accommodated in at least one hinge eye of a hinge half with a running fit and is accommodated in at least one hinge eye of the other half with a close fit. A braking and holding device which is integrated in the hinge comprises at least one spring-loaded braking and holding body. Said braking and holding body is aligned in a radial manner relative to the hinge pin and interacts with a circumferential profile of the hinge pin, said profile extending over a part of the circumference thereof. The aim of the invention is to obtain an increasing braking of the opening movement of the doors over a predetermined permitted opening angle of the doors, and inversely to obtain a progressively easier closing movement of the doors. To this end, the circumferential profile of the hinge pin which extends over a part of the circumference thereof forms a braking ramp comprising a contour which continuously increases in the door opening direction. In addition, the braking and holding body which interacts with said braking ramp is configured as a friction body.
