Definitions

  • the invention relates to a separable motor vehicle door hinge, consisting of two alternately each having at least one hinge eye can be attached to one of the two door arrangement parts, door or door pillar Hinge halves and one in a connecting position the two hinge halves pivotally connecting hinge pin, which in the at least one hinge eye of one hinge half by means of a Bearing bush made of a maintenance-free bearing material with a rotating seat stored and in the at least one hinge eye of the other hinge half by means of an axially directed profiling in a form-fitting and non-rotating manner is determinable
  • a suitable one for this Design of motor vehicle door hinges is characterized in that the Hinge for removing the doors from the body by pulling them out of the hinge pin is separable, such that the two hinge halves in their aligned position on the respective door arrangement parts, door or door pillar remain.
  • this type of separable hinge for motor vehicle doors there are some difficulties, especially when reinstalling the doors in the body in that it is difficult at first or the hinge eyes of the door-side hinge half in one to the or alignment aligned with the hinge eyes of the body-side hinge half bring and that it is also difficult the hinge pin in exactly aligned Position again in the hinge eye holes of the two Thread the hinge halves.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object by pulling the hinge pin separable motor vehicle door hinge of the type mentioned at the beginning, in particular one of which a hinge half through a sheet metal pressed part is formed to improve that it is on the one hand as a pre-assembled unit can be delivered with a captive hinge pin and that on the other hand at the same time in each of its assembly positions, disconnected or connecting position, an exact mounting or guidance of the hinge pin is guaranteed is, in that for the pressing and pulling of the hinge pin always equally large forces are required.
  • This object is essentially achieved in that at least the length of the hinge pin lying at the front in the driving direction one in the axial extension of the eye bore of the at least one Hinge eye, in which the hinge pin is positive and non-rotatable can be determined, aligned recording is assigned.

  • a particularly suitable design of the hinge halves formed from a pressed sheet metal part of the definition of the sheet-metal sleeve forming the receptacle is that the sheet-metal sleeve forming the receptacle is connected by means of a number of radial webs to a fastening ring placed perpendicular to its axis, and that the fastening ring is connected by caulking to Enforcements of the projections or the like formed on the outer side of the commercial part of the hinge eye in which the hinge pin is positively and non-rotatably fixed is attached.
  • the hinge pin has two radially directed punctures, one of which at a distance from its front end in the driving direction and the other of which is arranged in the vicinity of the hinge pin head.
  • the one Spring tongue basket forming spring tongues of the sheet metal sleeve forming the receptacle at a distance from the base of the sheet metal sleeve directed radially inwards Have latches.
  • a separable motor vehicle door hinge comprises two alternately on one of two door arrangement parts (not shown in the drawing), door or door pillar, hinged halves 1 and 2 and one in an assembly position or connecting position the two hinge halves 1 and 2 pivotally interconnecting hinge pin 3, which is rotatably mounted in the one hinge eye 4 of the one hinge half 2 by means of a bearing bush 5 made of a maintenance-free bearing material with a sliding seat and in the hinge eye 6 of the other hinge half 1 by means of an axially directed profile 7 and can be locked against rotation.
  • the hinge half 1 is formed by a pressed sheet metal part, so that the hinge eye 4 has a small material thickness and the hinge eye bore 8 consequently has only a small depth, such that it can neither take a holder of the pulled out nor an exact guidance of the hinge pin 3 to be driven.
  • the receptacle 12 assigned to the hinge pin 3 is permanently on the outer commercial part side 9 of that hinge eye 6 by a base part 13, which is designed as a smooth cylindrical cylindrical surface and by means of a collar-shaped radially placed foot part 13, in alignment with the hinge eye bore 8, in which the hinge pin 3 can be fixed in a form-fitting and non-rotatable manner, fastened, thin-walled sheet metal sleeve 12a is formed.
