している。According to the present invention, a hinge bracket fixed to a body of an automobile and a hinge arm fixed at one end to a door are provided. A door hinge rotatably connecting the hinge bracket and the hinge bracket to support the door so that the door can be opened and closed with respect to the body. The door hinge is made of a flexible conductive material, and can be attached to the body together with the hinge bracket at one end. A connecting member having a body-side mounting portion and a door-side mounting portion that can be mounted on the door side together with one end of the hinge arm is provided at the other end, and the connecting member is connected to the hinge arm by a side surface of the hinge arm on the door closing direction side. And when the hinge bracket and hinge arm are attached to the body and the door, the connecting member is attached to the body.

きる。According to the above construction, at the time of assembling the door hinge that connects the body and the door, one end of the connecting member made of a conductive material is attached to the body and the other end is attached to the door. The door itself can be electrically connected to the body via the door. Therefore,
Without connecting the body and the door with a dedicated ground wire,
The electrical components attached to the door can be grounded to the body. In addition, the connection member can follow the opening and closing operation of the door due to its flexibility, and the body and the door can be connected by a single member without going through a hinge mechanism, so that the connection is the same as when a ground wire is used. Reliability can be ensured.

ことができる。The connecting member may be formed of a band-shaped braided wire in which the body-side mounting portion and the door-side mounting portion are crimped to both ends. Since the braided wire can flex freely in all directions, even if the hinge arm of the door hinge has a complicated shape, it can be easily adapted to the shape and attached.

When the opening operation of the connecting member 15 is performed, the region overlapping the side surfaces of the arm portion 14c and the bearing portion 14d of the hinge arm 14 from the opening direction Y side of the door 13 elastically expands in the opening direction Y, and the connecting member 15 Is absorbed. For this reason, the direct connection state of the connection member 15 can be stably secured even by the opening and closing operation of the door 13. FIG. 4 shows an electric circuit diagram when the connection member 15 is used. That is, the wire harness W / H composed of the body harness W / H-1 and the door harness W / H-2 connected between the body 11 and the door 13 by the connector C does not require a ground wire. The electrical component D mounted on the door 13 is grounded by the connecting member 15.
The connection process is performed from the side to the body 11 side. In the figure, B is a battery, and S is a switch of the electrical component D.

Conduction is ensured. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the door 13 is opened, the connecting member 25 is placed in a region overlapping the side surfaces of the arm portion 14c of the hinge arm 14 and the bearing portion 14d from the opening direction Y side of the door 13. However, the strain applied to the connection member 25 by expanding in the opening direction Y is absorbed.
Therefore, the connection member 25 can be opened and closed by opening and closing the door 13.

の直接的な接続状態を安定的に確保することができる。
なお、接続部材３５を用いた場合の電気回路図は第一実
施形態の図４と同様のため説明を省略する。The door hinge 30 having the above-described structure is shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), the connection member 3 is similar to the first embodiment.
5 is fastened to the body 11 and the door 13 together with the hinge bracket 12 and the hinge arm 14 by bolts 16 and 17 together with the body-side mounting portion 35e and the door-side mounting portion 35e. Conduction is ensured. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the door 13 is opened, the connecting member 35 is placed in a region overlapping the side surfaces of the arm portion 14c of the hinge arm 14 and the bearing portion 14d from the opening direction Y side of the door 13. However, the strain applied to the connection member 35 by expanding in the opening direction Y is absorbed.
Therefore, the connection member 35 can be opened and closed by opening and closing the door 13.
Can be stably secured in a direct connection state.
The electric circuit diagram in the case where the connecting member 35 is used is the same as that of FIG.

信頼性を向上できる。As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the body and the door are connected by the metal connecting member, the ground wire for the electric component on the door side is provided. There is no need to provide it in the wire harness. Since the connection member is made of a conductive material having flexibility, the connection member can elastically follow the opening / closing operation of the door, and the opening / closing operation does not affect the electrical connection state, thereby improving the reliability of the ground connection. Can be improved.
