Abstract
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.
