A door hinge with integrated door stop includes a first half, which may be mounted to one of the door arrangement components, the door or door post; a second hinge half, which may be mounted to the other door arrangement; a hingepin, mounted in the first hinge half with a running fit and in the second hinge half with a non-rotating fit; a brake and retaining device which, dependent upon the hinge angle between the first and second hinge halves defines stop positions and essentially comprises two co-operating components with stopmarks complementary to each other and a pressure spring, with an axis arranged parallel to and radially displaced from the hinge axis. A door stop, integrated in a door hinge for motor vehicle doors gives a positioning of the door, with a small construction embodiment and low operating noise, whereby the door is held in each position with adequate force substantially independent from possible tolerance variations. Both of the co-operating parts move in a counter direction to the first and second hinge halves, depending on the hinged displacement.

Door hinge with integrated door stop

A door stop which is connected to a door hinge and is intended for motor-vehicle doors comprises a holding device, which is connected to the hinge half assigned to one of the two door assembly parts, the door or door pillar, and a braking device, which is connected to the hinge half assigned to the other door assembly part. In the door stop, on the one hand, the braking device has at least two braking and holding bodies ( ), which are subjected to a spring load, and, on the other hand, the holding device has at least one latching ramp ( ) assigned to the braking and holding bodies. Furthermore, in the door stop the holding device which has at least one latching ramp ( ) is formed by an at least annular body ( ), which is arranged concentrically with the braking-body carrier ( ), and one of the two devices, the holding device or braking device, is driven in a rotating manner as a function of the door movement. It is proposed for the door stop, partly in order to improve its spatial design and partly in order to improve its effectiveness, that the braking device and the holding device are arranged in a parallel alignment, offset laterally with respect to the hinge axis ( ), on the hinge half ( ) in which the hinge pin ( ), is mounted with a running fit.
