• Hinges are known from practice which have fastening parts with fastening surfaces lying on the contact surface, to which fastening means for fastening the hinge are attached to the door arrangement part and in which the fastening surfaces point in different directions.
• the hinge part When reassembling, the hinge part is attached via the door arrangement part normal to the contact plane and placed on the contact plane, the adjusting element on the door arrangement part fitting into the corresponding opening on the hinge part and the reference position thus being set without readjustment.
• the hinge part is pivoted around the reference member until the fastening screws engage in the associated bores. It is disadvantageous that the shanks of the screw or the fastening screws engage with play in bores. This means that neither the screw nor the fastening screws can be fixed in such bores without a thread.
• additional means must be provided in which the screw shafts can reach, such as a threaded strip or nuts on the side of the door arrangement part facing away from the hinge part.
• Another disadvantage is that only a single reference position is provided in the form of the screw fixed to the door arrangement part.
• the hinge part remains at least partially pivotable about this screw.
• the hinge part is only fixed in its position when the fastening screws are also fixed in their associated bores.
• the fastening screws also have play in these holes.
• a further disadvantage is that the hinge part must be placed over the door arrangement part and reattached until it is re-attached to the door arrangement part until a reference position specified by the adjusting element has been found.
• the hinge part partially covers the adjustment element attached to the door arrangement part until it threads into the hinge part after it has been displaced.
• the screw is attached to the door arrangement part as an elevation, on which, when the hinge part is re-installed, the latter can tilt or tilt relative to the contact plane if the hinge is moved normally to the contact plane on the contact plane.
• DE 34 02 809 A1 specifies as a mounting aid a system consisting of a positive and a negative guide surface attached to the door arrangement part or to the hinge part, the mutual excess of which is compensated for by a tool to be attached as soon as the hinge part is in the desired adjusted position located.
• An opening is provided in the hinge part, within which a cylindrical pin is fixedly arranged as a positive guide surface on the door arrangement part underneath.
• the pin changes its position with respect to the opening in the hinge part. Once the adjusted position of the hinge part has been found, the excess is filled out, for example by inserting a bushing with a handle.

• the pin fixed in this way is designed to protrude from the contact plane, and when the hinge is re-installed, the hinge part with the opening above the pin must be attached normally to the contact plane. So that exists Danger of the opening in the hinge part tilting or tilting relative to the reference member when the hinge part is re-installed.
• EP 0 756 055 A1 describes as a mounting aid a bore penetrating a hinge part and a door arrangement part, into which a screw bolt with a cylindrical longitudinal section is inserted.
• the bore has an oversize relative to the screw bolt, which is filled in by using aids such as suitable flat material cuts or ring bodies. This creates between the smooth cylindrical longitudinal section of the shaft part of the bolt and the tools used, for. B. the inner surface of the ring body facing the shaft part, a guide surface.
• the oversize hole moves relative to the screw bolt, the oversize being filled with the tools used to determine the adjusted position of the hinge part.
• the screw bolt has threaded sections at both ends, nuts having to be provided on the side of the door arrangement part facing away from the hinge part on the one hand and on the other hand on the surface of the hinge part in order to be able to fix or loosen the screw bolt.
• a disadvantage of the specified assembly aid is that flat bores of the size of the assumed adjustment path must be present on the hinge part, so that the screw bolt has a play necessary for adjustment. It is also disadvantageous that a device must be provided so that the screw bolt on the side of the door arrangement part facing away from the hinge part can be fixed.
• Another disadvantage is that the specified method is material and time-consuming, because tools such as flat material blanks or ring bodies must be inserted successively until the excess is balanced. With this procedure, the adjusted position of the hinge can easily be lost again.
• Another disadvantage is that both the attached ring body and the flat material blanks used are only pressed against the shaft surface of the screw bolt, so that they can easily loosen themselves and adjust the adjusted one Position is lost without further action.
• Other devices, the z. B. allow the inserted flat material blanks or the ring body to fasten to the shaft of the bolt, make the complex and ineffective device even more complicated.
• Another disadvantage is that only a single reference position for the re-assembly of the hinge part is specified by the position of the screw bolt. If the hinge part is to be reattached at the adjusted position, the opening in the hinge part must be placed on the screw bolt. The bolt is at least partially covered by the door hinge part. The disadvantage here is that the door hinge can tilt or tilt when it bears against the door arrangement part with respect to the screw bolt.
• the assembly aid according to the invention provides a clamping screw with an adjusting element, the screw shaft of the clamping screw being encompassed by the adjusting element with play.
• On the door arrangement part there is only an easily attachable threaded hole for receiving the screw shaft of the clamping screw in the vicinity of the assumed adjusted position. Bores in the hinge part or the door arrangement part and the time and material removal associated therewith can advantageously be avoided.
• Another advantage is that the Threaded hole does not have to completely penetrate the door arrangement part.
• no means for fixing the clamping screw, such as screw nuts or a threaded strip, must be provided on the side of the door arrangement part facing away from the hinge. This means a saving in material and a simplified adjustment effort.
• the clamping screw of the assembly aid is tightened so that the screw head of the clamping screw presses the adjusting element against the door arrangement part and thus fixes it axially. Tightening the clamping screw is a simple, quick operation that eliminates the radial play of the adjusting element and thus determines the position found.
• the adjusting element of the assembly aid is brought into a form-fitting contact with a part of the hinge part. Only the part of the adjusting element which bears in a form-fitting manner on the part of the hinge part is to be designed such that it has a complementary shape to the part of the hinge which is in contact, so that there is mutual positive engagement. It is advantageous that the design options for the shape of the adjusting element are only slightly restricted. Another advantage is that the adjustment path available for adjustment can be adjusted by selecting an adjustment element with suitable dimensions.
• a mounting plate is attached between the hinge part and the door arrangement part.
• the face of the adjusting element facing away from the screw head lies against the mounting plate.
• the mounting plate has, in addition to holes for the fastening means, a further hole through which the shaft of the clamping screw engages in a threaded hole made in the door arrangement part.

• the mounting plate is glue the mounting plate to the door assembly part before the hinge part is attached to the mounting plate. If the adjusting element is pressed against the mounting plate by means of the clamping screw, the mounting plate is also fixed to the door arrangement part. If a mounting plate is provided for the mounting aid, one advantage of the mounting aid is that a process step that occurs in the manufacture of motor vehicles can be integrated into a further process step, namely the mounting and adjustment of the doors to the door frame of the body, so that the assembly workload is reduced.
• the hinge part and the mounting plate Due to openings provided in the mounting plate for attaching fasteners such as fastening screws, which are brought into congruence with recesses in the hinge part, the hinge part and the mounting plate are not held by the defined adjusting element alone on the door arrangement part, so that the adjusting element is relieved in use ,
• the adjustment element can, for example, be removed again and reinserted.
• the adjusting element is advantageously designed as a hollow cylindrical disk, so that the inner radius of the disk ensures maximum play in all directions of the contact plane. If the adjustment path proves to be too short for a hollow cylindrical disk, a disk with the same outer radius but a larger inner radius can be provided, which offers greater play but is still in positive engagement with the adjacent hinge part. If, on the other hand, it turns out that the play of a disk is larger than necessary for the adjustment, a disk with a smaller inner radius can be used. This offers the advantage of choosing the adjustment element that is optimal for the adjustment by, for example, the adjustment element Selection of a hollow cylindrical disc with an adapted inner radius.
• the inside diameter of the hollow cylindrical disk should be at least 1.3 times, preferably 1.5 times the outside diameter of the screw shaft of the clamping screw to ensure sufficient play for all the adjustment paths that occur in the mass production of motor vehicles.
• a hollow cylindrical disk as an adjusting element has the further advantage that the shape is symmetrical and can be easily overlapped, for example, by the screw head of the clamping screw, which usually also has a circular circumference.
• an adjustment part arranged outside the adjustment element can be provided in addition to the adjustment element, as a result of which more degrees of freedom are available for adjustment

• the adjusting part can be provided as a projection which is stationary on the contact plane and raised in the direction of the hinge. If a mounting plate is provided for the mounting aid, the adjusting part on the mounting plate is provided, for example, as an embossing. If a mounting plate is dispensed with and the hinge is fastened directly to the door arrangement part, the adjustment part is to be fitted as an elevation on the door arrangement part. In both cases, the adjustment part can be attached inexpensively and without effort on the plant level additional parts can be avoided.
• a stationary adjustment part simplifies the adjustment of the hinge by only setting up the adjustment element.
• the inventive method for reproducible positioning of a hinge offers the advantage of setting up a primary and a secondary reference element on the door arrangement part to a predetermined positioning axis, that is to say two spaced-apart reference elements, which adjust the adjusted position of the hinge part or the door arrangement part, e.g. B. the door, clearly define.

• Such an embodiment offers the advantage of attaching the recessed stop edges to the edges that reject the bends.

• Another advantage is that devices for stabilizing the assembled hinge such as stiffening beads can be attached to the bends.
• the fastening parts are angled, but point in different, for example opposite, directions.
• Such a hinge has the advantage that it can be carried out in a technically simple manner as a bent sheet metal part. It is advantageous further that means for fastening the hinge part to the door arrangement part can be carried out in a conventional manner.
• the method according to the invention for assembling a hinge is advantageously characterized in that the hinge is displaced relative to the door arrangement part along the contact plane of the door arrangement part until it reaches a desired position.
• the hinge will generally be arranged in a fixed manner, while the door is fed with the reference members in the direction of the stop edges of the hinge part.
• the hinge part can thus be prevented from abutting perpendicularly to the abutment plane.
• the hinge part does not tilt or tilt when it is reassembled on reference members that are designed perpendicular to the contact plane.
• a reference member executed perpendicular to the contact plane can stop the displacement of the hinge part relative to the door arrangement part along the contact plane as soon as a part of the hinge comes into contact with the reference member and in particular limits the displacement of the hinge along the contact plane relative to the door arrangement part.
• At least one of the reference elements can be adjusted in its position. This offers the advantage of being able to find the position of the hinge again when the assembly is re-assembled due to the position of the reference member set during a first assembly.
• the stop edges of the hinge are, for example, recessed concave, so that they develop a centering effect when the hinge is mounted on the door arrangement part and the Make threading the hinge easier.
• the hinge with its attachment surfaces is brought into contact with the associated reference members on the contact plane and moved along the orientation of the recessed stop edges towards the reference members, or the reference members are shifted in the direction of the standing hinge part.

• the adjusting element 20 can remain axially fixed on the mounting plate 3, for example if the hinge 1 is to be removed again with the door - if necessary after loosening the fastening screws 11.
• Such removal of an adjusted door is a process step in the manufacture of motor vehicles, in which the doors are fitted and removed again before painting, in order to be quickly re-installed in the previously adjusted, adjusted position after painting.
• the first hinge part 4 with the mounting surfaces 16 is placed and moved on the mounting plate 3, the left recessed stop edge 17 on the projection 19 and the right recessed stop edge 17 on the adjusting element 20 laterally in Be brought so that the hinge 1 can find the adjusted position using the previously set up reference members.
• the clamping screw 22 holds the assembly aid 2 unchangeable in the optimal position of the door, so that both the previously found optimal position of the door 12 can be found again and an optically unfavorable offset of the reinstalled door with respect to the lacquer coating is reduced.
• the adjusting element 20 can be removed after the hinge 1 is finally fastened to the door 12 by the fastening screws 11. The adjusting element 20 can then be reused for adjusting additional doors.
• an adjusting element 20 can in turn be positively applied to the right recessed stop edge 17 and fixed axially by means of a clamping screw 22 before the fastening screws 11 and the door 12 of that Hinge 1 is separated.
• the adjusting element 20 and the projection 19 then again form a secondary and a primary reference member, which can be used to find the set position on the vehicle body with the hinge 1 when the removed door 12 is re-installed.
• the door 12 has been fitted by lowering in the direction of the weight force in the direction of the stop edges 17 which spring back and are ready to be received. It goes without saying that this process is also possible with a movement against gravity.
