The invention relates to a door stop for motor vehicle doors which is integrated with a door hinge. The door hinge is constructed of two hinge halves which are each formed by a folded part made of sheet metal. The door hinge is also constructed of a hinge pin which pivotally connects both hinge halves to one another. The first hinge half having an essentially hat-shaped cross-section engages in-between both profile limbs of the other hinge half which is essentially u-shaped. The door stop comprises braking or holding means which are radially aligned in relation to the hinge pin axis and which intereact with stopping means, said stopping means being concentrically arranged in relation to the hinge pin axis. The door stop is essentially coaxial in relation to the hinge axis. In order to produce a door stop which can be integrated and which enables a standardization of the door stop construction, the invention provides that the rotating bearing of an enclosing hinge half and the stopping device are accommodated in a stopping device housing. Said housing is primarily arranged inside the engaging hinge half having a hat-shaped profile cross-section, and is fastened on this hinge half in a rotationally fixed manner.

Door stop which is integrated with a door hinge

A door hinge for a motor vehicle door provided with a braking and retaining function, and including two hinge halves and a hinge pin extending through gudgeons of the two hinge halves for pivotally connecting the hinge halves together, with the hinge pin being secured in a gudgeon of one of the hinge halves against rotation and extending through a gudgeon of another of the hinge halves with a clearance, the hinge pin and bore of the gudgeon of another of the hinge halves having at least along a portion of their common axial extent, complementary, circumferential regions the circularity of which deviates from a regular circular cross-section of their complementary cylindrical surfaces.
