The invention relates to an assembly aid for positioning a hinge () on a door arrangement part () in a reproducible manner, said assembly aid comprising a clamping screw () having a screw shank () and a screw head (), and an adjusting element () which is applied to a part () of the hinge () in a positively locking manner. The adjusting element () radially engages with said screw shank () and can be axially fixed to the door arrangement part () by means of the clamping screw (). The invention also relates to a method for the reproducible positioning of a hinge () on a door arrangement part () whereon a positioning axis () is provided. The aim of the invention is to provide an assembly aid and a method that enable a hinge to be precisely positioned in a simple and reproducible manner. To this end, the inventive assembly aid is embodied in such a way that there is radial play between the adjusting element () and the screw shank (), and the screw head () engages with the adjusting element (), or, according to the inventive method, an adjusting part () is arranged as a primary reference member at a distance from the positioning axis (), and an adjusting element () is fixed in the position thereof as a secondary reference member with radial play in relation to the positioning axis ().

Assembly aid and method for positioning a hinge in a reproducible manner

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.

Hinge for a vehicle door

The invention relates to a door hinge for a door of a vehicle. The inventive hinge comprises a first and a second guiding arrangement () for fixing at least one holding position for the door hinge. Said hinge also comprises a first and a seond free end () which engage with the first and second guiding arrangements. Said ends belong to a spring element (). 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 () and the second free end () respectively are arranged in a mirror-inverted manner in relation to each other and at the remaining halve () of the hinge.
