In a motor vehicle a door and the body are connected by a pantographic hinge device, the arm of which is substantially constructed from a housing module, from which rotatable shaft sections coupled in two end regions project and which has an open side, and a coupling mechanism module for creation of the rotational coupling of the shaft sections to one another, which can be inserted into the housing module through the open side. The coupling mechanism module is inserted into the housing module after the door and body connected to one another through the housing module have been painted.

Arm for a pantographic hinge device

In the case of a hinge device with an arm and with two head pieces mounted to pivot/swivel on the ends of the arm around respectively one axis, the head pieces are respectively joined to revolve with one of the two belt pulleys, which are circumscribed by a common traction belt on one circumferential surface, and at least one of the belt pulleys is not circular but preferably elliptical.
