  • Another method is to connect the door brackets to the door jamb and the door itself by screws.
  • Manufacturing inaccuracies, misalignments and tensions in the hinge axes for plug-in hinges are e.g. B. compensated by tuning plates or intermediate documents for the correction of the hinge axes.
  • the hinge axes are often under very high voltages, so that in a later necessary construction, for. B. after accidents, it is often no longer possible to continue using the old bearing arrangement of the door hinges.
  • each door joint consists of a bracket attached to the bodywork, which is approximately vertical standing sleeve with a certain inner sleeve diameter.
  • Each door joint consists of a door-side fastener Console, which carries a spherical shell, wherein the ball pin is formed from a ball and a threaded bolt attached to it and the threaded bolt is smaller in diameter than the sleeve inner diameter.
  • the door-side bracket carries the ball pivot, a clearance being formed between the inside diameter of the sleeve and the threaded bolt, so that the threaded bolt can be displaced in a horizontal plane within the same axial direction as the sleeve after insertion into the sleeve.
  • the threaded bolt has an excess length with its threaded part compared to the sleeve length, so that the threaded bolt can be moved up and down within the sleeve region.
  • the sleeve is encompassed from both end faces by two nuts screwed onto the threaded bolt, the contact surface diameter of which corresponds at least to the outer sleeve diameter plus the clearance distance between the threaded bolt and the inner sleeve surface, the horizontal and vertical position of the threaded bolt inside the sleeve being fixable with the nuts.
  • the contact surface between the sleeve and nuts is formed by washers stretched over the threaded bolt.
  • the ball socket is open at the bottom for the passage of the threaded bolt and also has an opening on the opposite side, the ball having a profiled recess in the region of this opening for inserting a holding tool, preferably an Allen key, with which the ball during the adjustment process and the Tighten the nuts on Rotation is prevented.
  • the spherical shell is formed by two superimposed and connected sheets, which are shaped in hemispherical shape in opposite directions.
  • the ball and the threaded bolt are releasably attached to each other.
  • the ball is drilled through, the ball held in the ball socket being able to be plugged with this hole onto an upper piece of a threaded bolt, also provided with a thread, and fastened with a nut.
  • DE-GM document 76 34 814 discloses a spherical plain bearing with a ball piece and an outer body, in which the sliding surface of at least the outer body is formed from a PTFE layer.
  • the PTFE layer forming the sliding surface is burned onto the bearing surface of the ball piece and / or of the outer body and is thus connected to the surface thereof.
  • the outer body should have insertion grooves for the ball piece.
  • the DE-GM document 17 34 991 shows a motor vehicle, in particular car door.
  • DE-OS 20 39 307 relates to a hinge for motor vehicle doors, in which the fixed hinge part is connected to the movable hinge part via a ball pin. At least one of the hinge parts has a swivel part which is penetrated by a single fastening means and which is connected to the vehicle door or the vehicle body via a spherical surface, the hinge being adjustable on all sides when the fastening means is released. This is a compensation for misalignments given. There is no positioning for disassembly and reassembly; Therefore, pre-assembly of doors that can be swapped out is not possible.
  • a detachable door hinge for motor vehicle doors consisting of a first hinge half that can be fastened to a door arrangement part, door or door spar, has a hinge eye and can be fastened to the second on the other door arrangement part, and also has a hinge eye a hinge pin which engages in the hinge eyes of both hinge halves and which can be connected in a rotationally secure manner to one of the hinge eyes, is freely rotatable over a part of its length in the hinge eye of one hinge half with a seat and is secured in the axial direction.
  • the hinge pin part which engages in the clip-on hinge eye, should consist of a cylindrical section and a section provided with profiling, at least this profiling having alignment surfaces for the counter profile of the hinge eye that are oriented obliquely to the hinge axis.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a motor vehicle, in particular car door according to the preamble, in which while maintaining the advantages of a ball joint bearing for motor vehicle doors according to DE-OS 20 39 307, which is known from DE-PS 31 37 112 Assembly philosophy is maintained by separability of the ball joint taking into account the force and environmental requirements in motor vehicles.
  • Tuning plates or intermediate documents for the correction of the hinge axes are also unnecessary when using the invention.
  • doors and car bodies can be manufactured separately and easily joined together, separate production lines can be set up for the final assembly of the doors and the car bodies, which can be expected from a higher cycle rate, or at least a better quality.
  • the bearing arrangement is provided with a ball joint.
  • self-lubricating materials in particular PTFE
  • PTFE can be introduced into the corresponding surface in the form of chips, chips or particles.
  • the PTFE could be separated from a tube using a chisel.
  • the chips or chips that are produced in this way can be brought into a vessel, mutually hooking and supporting each other, into which a hardening plastic is then introduced, which contains the chips after it has hardened.
  • new PTFE always comes out close to the surface during surface processing and / or when the ball is later stressed, so that the ball joint remains self-lubricating over the entire service life.
  • a hollow cone could also be used, although in this case, in connection with a ball, punctiform or linear contact could occur on the cone, which results in increased wear.
  • the hinge bolts can be attached to all material pairs and all constructions if necessary by a press fit, or by gluing and preloadable disc springs, circlips etc.
  • the sealing by insert rings can be used in all constructions, e.g. B. by rubber, plastic or other materials.
