Abstract
The invention relates to a hinge door arrester, particularly for vehicle doors, comprised of two hinge parts (), which are connected by a hinge pin () in a manner that permits them to swivel about a rotational axis () and between which a detent device () is integrated that defines different relative rotating positions. Said detent device () is comprised of at least one detent element (), which is kinematically joined to the first hinge part () and which is spring-loaded in a radical working direction that is perpendicular to the rotational axis (). The detent device is also comprised of a sliding surface (), which is kinematically joined to the second hinge part (), is provided essentially in the shape of a sector of a circle, is arranged, with regard to its radius of curvature, coaxial to the rotational axis (), and which comprises at least one detent position () that interacts with the detent element (). The detent element () is provided as a sliding friction over the sliding surface (), whereby metal and plastic preferably interact in a sliding manner at all times.
