Abstract
The present invention concerns a hinged door check, for vehicle doors in particular, consisting of two hinged parts (2,4) which are connected swivelling around an axis of rotation (8) by a hinge pin (6) and which have a holding device (10) integrated between them defining different relative rotational positions. The holding device (10) consists first of at least one catch element (12) kinematically connected with the first hinged part (2) and spring-loaded in a working direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation (8), and secondly of a track (16) kinematically connected with the second hinged part (4), essentially shaped like the sector of a circle and arranged coaxial to the axis of rotation (8) with respect to its radius of curvature, having at least one latching point (14) cooperating with the catch element (12). The hinge pin (6) is connected detachable from the first hinged part (2) by fasteners (26), so that the hinged parts (2, 4) are separable when unloosening the fasteners (26) while keeping the connection between the hinge pin (6) and the second hinged part (4) and the holding device (10) assigned to the latter.
