The hinge further cooperates in sections with at least one of the gudgeons of the other hinge half in which it is that radially project from the hinge axis and that are alternately formed on the hinge pin and in the gudgeon so as to generate a force braking the hinge. The aim of the invention is to reduce the time required for manufacturing such a hinge as it is unacceptable for series production. To this end, a bore (18) that is concentric relative to the hinge axis (24) is lined with a bushing (19) in at least one of the gudgeons (10) of the other hinge half (2) in which the hinge pin (3) is mounted with a running fit. In said bushing, a projection (26) that is radial with respect to the hinge axis (24) is provided across a height that is smaller than the gudgeon height and a corresponding longitudinal section of the hinge pin (3) is provided with a complementary radial projection (23).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein mit einer integrierten Brems-und Halteeinrichtung ausgestattetes Türscharnier, insbesondere ein Kraftwagentürscharnier derjenigen Bauart, bei welcher der die beiden Scharnierhälften schwenkbar miteinander verbindende, aus einem Vollmaterial bestehende Scharnierstift in dem oder den Scharnieraugen der einen Scharnierhälfte drehsicher festgesetzt ist und mit wenigstens einem der Scharnieraugen der anderen Scharnierhälfte, in welcher er mit Laufsitz gelagert ist, zumindest abschnittsweise vermittels wechselweise am Scharnierstift und im Scharnierauge ausgebildeter, zur Scharnierachse achsparalleler Ausformungen vorzugsweise stufenlos bremskrafterzeugend zusammenwirkt.The invention relates to a with an integrated brake and holding device equipped door hinge, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge of those Type in which the two hinge halves pivotally with each other connecting, consisting of a solid material hinge pin in the or the hinge eyes of a hinge half is secured against rotation and with at least one of the hinge eyes of the other hinge half, in which he is stored with running seat, at least in sections by means of alternately on Hinge pin and hinge eye trained, parallel to the hinge axis Formations preferably cooperates continuously bremskrafterzeugend.

Aus der DE-A-44 06 824 ist ein mit einer integrierten Brems-und Halteeinrichtung ausgestattetes Türscharnier, insbesondere ein Kraftwagentürscharnier der vorgenannten Bauart bekannt, wobei der die beiden Scharnierhälften schwenkbar miteinander verbindende, aus einem Vollmaterial bestehende Scharnierstift in dem oder den Scharnieraugen der einen Scharnierhälfte drehsicher festgesetzt ist und mit dem oder den Scharnieraugen der anderen Scharnierhälfte, welche er mit einem Lagerspiel durchsetzt vermittels wechselweise ausgebildeter Ausformungen bremskrafterzeugend zusammenwirkt.From DE-A-44 06 824 is a with an integrated brake and holding device equipped door hinge, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge of the aforementioned Type known, wherein the two hinge halves pivotally with each other connecting, consisting of a solid material hinge pin in the or the hinge eyes of a hinge half is secured against rotation and with the one or more hinge eyes of the other hinge half, which he with a Bearing game interspersed by means of alternately trained formations interacts with the braking force.

Bei dieser und ähnlichen bekannten Bauarten von Türscharnieren, beispielsweise nach EP-A-0 777 025 oder DE-199 07 455, die alle Merkmale des Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 offenbart, wird die angestrebte Brems-und Haltefunktion, welche bei Überschreiten eines vorbestimmten zugelassenen Öffnungs-Innenumfanges hin wechselweise mit einer radial flach ansteigenden Keilfläche und an diese anschließend stufenartig mit einer steil abfallenden Flankenfläche ausgestattet sind, wobei beide Keilflächen über ihren gesamten Überdeckungsbereich hin absolut gleiche Steigungen aufweisen müssen, um die angestrebte Brems-und Haltefunktion zu erreichen.In this and similar known types of door hinges, for example EP-A-0 777 025 or DE-199 07 455 disclosing all features of the preamble of claim 1, the desired braking and holding function, which when exceeding a predetermined permitted opening inner circumference alternately with a radially flat rising wedge surface and then this stepwise with a steeply sloping flank surface equipped with both wedge surfaces over their entire coverage area must have absolutely the same slopes to the desired To achieve braking and holding function.

Die Resultierend aus dem Umstand, daß hierbei Brems-und Haltefunktion nur dann erreichbar ist, wenn beide Keilflächen oder die sonstigen unrunden Profilquerschnittsformen über ihren gesamten Überdeckungsbereich hin flächenhaft aufeinander aufliegen erfordert die praktische Verwirklichung eines dieserart ausgestatteten Türscharnieres eine praktisch toleranzfreie Bearbeitung und damit einen in der Serienproduktion nicht hinnehmbaren Bearbeitungsaufwand sowohl der Scharnieraugenbohrung als auch der Scharnierstiftoberfläche, was mit dem Nachteil behaftet ist, daß eine derartig toleranzfreie Herstellung in der Serienproduktion nicht möglich oder wenigstens absolut unwirtschaftlich ist.The result of the fact that this braking and holding function only then achievable if both wedge surfaces or the other non-circular profile cross-sectional shapes arealwide over their entire coverage area lying on top of each other requires the practical realization of one of these equipped Door hinge a virtually tolerance-free processing and thus a in serial production unacceptable processing of both the Hinge eye hole as well as the hinge pin surface, what with the Disadvantage afflicted is that such a tolerance-free production in mass production not possible or at least absolutely uneconomical.

Aus dem DE-U-76 16 362 ist eine andere Bauart eines, mit einer Brems-und Haltefunktion ausgestatteten Türscharnieres bekannt, welche sich in charakteristischer Weise dadurch auszeichnet, daß dort die Brems-und Haltekräfte durch eine federnd elastische Verformung des einen ovalen Innenumfang aufweisenden Scharnierauges aufgebracht werden und das Scharnierauge zu diesem Zweck axial geschlitzt sein muß. Durch eine federnd elastische Verformung eines axial geschlitzten Scharnierauges oder aber durch sonstige Federmittel aufbringbare Brems-bzw. Haltekräfte können allenfalls zum Offenhalten von Möbeltüren oder Möbelklappen, keinesfalls aber zur Feststellung von Kraftwagentüren ausreichen. Darüber hinaus sind Türscharniere mit geschlitzten Scharnierauge bei Kraftwagentüren wegen der Gefahr des Eindringens von Schmutz und dergl. in die Scharnierlagerung grundsätzlich nicht einsetzbar.From DE-U-76 16 362 is another type of, with a braking and holding function equipped door hinge, which is characteristic Characterized way that there the braking and holding forces by a spring elastic deformation of having an oval inner circumference Hinge eyes are applied and the hinge eye for this purpose must be axially slotted. By a resilient deformation of an axial slotted Hülierauges or be applied by other spring means Braking or. Holding forces can at best be used to hold open furniture doors or Furniture flaps, but in no case sufficient for the determination of motor vehicle doors. In addition, door hinges with slotted hinge eye on motor vehicle doors because of the risk of penetration of dirt and the like. In the Hinge storage basically not applicable.

Gemäß einer anderen Bauart von mit einer integrierten Brems-und Halteeinrichtung ausgestatteten Türscharnieren ist nach der US-PS 3 000 049 (C.S.Terry,Jr.) der Einsatz von Kunststofformteilen vorgesehen, so daß sich diese Scharniere abgesehen von einer besonderen Herstellungsweise, dadurch auszeichnen, daß die in die Scharnieraugen der einen Scharnierhälfte eintauchenden Schamierstiftstummel der anderen Scharnierhälfte mit radial ausladenden Nasen versehen sind, welchen je eine Rastausnehmung in der Scharnieraugenbohrung der einen Scharnierhälfte zugeordnet ist, derart, daß die beiden Scharnierhälften wenigstens in der voll geöffneten und der voll geschlossenen Stellung des Scharnieres formschlüssig gegeneinander verriegelt sind.
Eine solche Ausgestaltung einer Brems-und Halteeinrichtung kann nur bei Scharnieren aus einem Kunststoffmaterial angewendet werden und ist ferner nur für verhältnismäßig leichte Türen oder Klappen, beispielsweise an Möbeln, verwendbar.
According to another type of equipped with an integrated brake and holding device door hinges of US Patent 3 000 049 (CSTerry, Jr.) The use of plastic moldings provided so that these hinges apart from a special manufacturing method, characterized in that the dipping in the hinge eyes of a hinge half Schamierstiftstummel the other hinge half are provided with radially extending lugs, which is associated with a respective latching recess in the hinge eye bore of a hinge half, such that the two hinge halves at least in the fully open and the fully closed position of the hinge are positively locked against each other.
Such a design of a brake and holding device can only be used for hinges made of a plastic material and is also only for relatively light doors or flaps, for example, on furniture, usable.

Allen bekannten Bauarten von mit einer integrierten Brems-und Halteeinrichtung ausgestatteten Türscharnieren ist gemeinsam, daß entweder die durch die integrierte Brems-und Halteeinrichtung aufbringbaren Kräfte, insbesondere für den Einsatz des Scharnieres als Kraftwagentürscharnier völlig unzureichend sind oder aber wegen der im Hinblick auf die erforderliche absolute Gleichförmigkeit sowohl der Kräfte als auch der Einsetzpunkte des Bremsbeginnes einzuhaltenden Toleranzen eine serienmäßige Herstellung entweder nicht möglich oder aber mit einem absolut unwirtschaftlichen Aufwand verbunden ist.All known types of with an integrated brake and holding device equipped door hinges is common that either the integrated Brake and holding device applied forces, especially for the Use of the hinge as a motor vehicle door hinge are completely inadequate or but because of the required in terms of absolute uniformity both the forces as well as the insertion of the beginning of braking to be observed tolerances a serial production either not possible or with one absolutely uneconomical effort is connected.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Türscharnier, insbesondere ein Kraßwagentürscharnier mit integrierter Brems-und Haltefunktion zu schaffen, welches einerseits die Forderung, über vorbestimmte zugelassene Öffnungswinkel hin eine widerstandslose Öffnungs-und Schließbewegung der Türe zu gewährleisten und andererseits die Forderung im Bereich wenigstens eines ausgewählten Öffnungswinkels der weiteren Öffnungsbewegung der Türe einen ausreichend großen, möglichst progressiv anwachsenden Widerstand entgegenzusetzen, erfüllt, dabei aber auf eine eng tolerierte Herstellung der miteinander zusammenwirkenden Teile der Brems-und Halteeinrichtung verzichten kann. The present invention is therefore based on the object of a door hinge, in particular a car door hinge with integrated braking and holding function to create, on the one hand the demand, over predetermined legal Opening angle towards a resistance-free opening and closing movement of the door and on the other hand the requirement in the area of at least one selected opening angle of the further opening movement of the door a to oppose sufficiently large, progressively increasing resistance, fulfilled, but on a tight tolerated production of each other can dispense with cooperating parts of the brake and holding device.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in wenigstens einem der Scharnieraugen der anderen Scharnierhälfte, in welcher der Scharnierstift mit Laufsitz gelagert ist, eine zur Scharnierachse konzentrische Bohrung mit einer Buchse ausgekleidet ist, in welcher ein einen zu seinem freien Ende hin einen stufenförmig abnehmenden Durchmesser aufweisender Scharnierstrift aufgenommen ist und welche einen zylindrischen, gegenüber der gesamten Schamieraugenhöhe eine geringere Höhe aufweisenden und bezüglich der Scharnierachse achsparallel radial versetzten Längenabschnitt aufweist, welchem ein entsprechender zylindrischer und achsparallel radial verstezter Längenabschnitt des Scharnierstiftes zugeordnet ist. Hierbei ergibt sich der zur Unterbringung der mit dem bezüglich der Scharnierachse axial versetzten Längenabschnitt des Scharnierstiftes zusammenwirkende Längenabschnitt des Scharnierauges durch eine von der sie aufnehmenden Scharnierhälfte unabhängig herstellbaren Buchse und somit kann eine aufwendige Bearbeitung des Scharnierauges der Scharnierhälfte unterbleiben. Im weiteren eröffnet der Einsatz einer Buchse eine Möglichkeit zu einer von der eigentlichen Scharnieraugenbohrung unabhängigen Justierung der Lage bzw. des Türöffnungswinkels bei welchem die Brems-und/oder Haltekraft einsetzen soll, insbesondere durch die nachträgliche ausgerichtete Festlegung der Buchse innerhalb der Scharnieraugenbohrung. Insbesondere ist zweckmäßigerweise vorgesehen, daß die zur Aufbringung der Brems-und Haltekräfte miteinander zusammenwirkenden Profilierungen von Buchsenbohrung und Scharnierstift zueinander ausgerichtet werden, beispielsweise auf den Beginn einer Brems-oder Feststellfunktion ausgerichtet werden, bevor die Buchse in einer einem bestimmten Türöffnungswinkel entsprechenden Lage in das Scharnierauge der anderen Scharnierhälfte eingepreßt wird.This object is achieved in that in at least one the hinge eyes of the other hinge half, in which the hinge pin with Running seat is mounted, a concentric with the hinge axis bore with a Jack is lined, in which a one to its free end received gradually decreasing diameter having Scharnierstrift is and which a cylindrical, compared to the entire height of the hinge a lower height and with respect to the hinge axis Has axially parallel radially offset length portion, which a corresponding cylindrical and axially parallel radially stiffened length of the Hinge pin is assigned. This results in the accommodation of the with respect the hinge axis axially offset longitudinal portion of the hinge pin co-operating length portion of the hinge eye by one of them receiving hinge half independently manufacturable socket and thus can avoid a complex processing of the hinge eye of the hinge half. Furthermore, the use of a socket opens up a possibility for one independent of the actual hinge eye bore adjustment of the situation or the door opening angle at which the braking and / or holding force use particular, by the subsequent alignment of the Bushing inside the hinge eye hole. In particular, is expediently provided that for applying the braking and holding forces with each other cooperating profiles of bushing bore and hinge pin be aligned with each other, for example, at the beginning of a brake or Locking function be aligned before the socket in a certain Door opening angle corresponding position in the hinge eye of the other Hinge half is pressed.

In der Summe zeigt die Erfindung somit einen Weg auf, die für die Einhaltung der für das auch in der Serienfertigung gleichbleibende Einsetzen der Brems-bzw. Haltewirkung erforderlichen Präzision von der Bearbeitung, insbesondere der Scharnieraugenbohrung weg und hin zu einer Einstelloperation zu verlagem, womit der bisherigen Vorschlägen anhaftende Nachteil eines nicht tragbaren Herstellungsaufwandes beseitigt ist.In sum, the invention thus shows a way for compliance with the for even in mass production consistent insertion of the brake or. Holding effect required precision of the machining, in particular the Hinge eye hole away and towards a setting operation to relocate, with the previous proposals adhering disadvantage of a non-portable manufacturing effort eliminated.

Die Buchse bei in einer einem vorgegebenen Türöffnungswinkel entsprechenden gegenseitigen Stellung befindlichen Scharnierhälften bezüglich ihrer radial versetzten Ausformung kraft-und/oder formschlüßig in einer dem gewollten bzw. beabsichtigten Beginn der Brems-oder Haltekraft entsprechenden Relativlage zum radial versetzten Längenabschnitt des Scharnierstiftes im Scharnierauge festgelegt ist und daß für deren drehsichere Festlegung das die Buchse aufnehmende Scharnierauge mit einer Ausnehmung und die Buchse mit einem komplementär gestalteten, verformbaren Bereich, insbesondere einem radial ausladenden Kragen, versehen ist, welcher mit der Ausnehmung des Scharnierauges in formschlüssigen Eingriff bringbar ist.The socket at a corresponding to a given door opening angle Mutually position hinge halves with respect to their radially offset Forming force and / or formschlüßig in a the intended or intended Beginning of the braking or holding force corresponding relative position to set radially offset longitudinal portion of the hinge pin in the hinge eye is and that for the rotationally secure fixing the female receiving Hinge eye with a recess and the socket with a complementary designed, deformable region, in particular a radially extending collar, is provided, which with the recess of the hinge eye in positive Intervention can be brought.
