Hinge formation for vehicle doors or tail-gates - has two halves and pin located in common pivot axis fitted to door and bodywork

摘要

The vehicle door consists (3) of outer and inner plates and the door-side hinge flap (4) joins the door to the vehicle bodywork via the other hinge flap. To obtain the requisite strength to accommodate forces applied to the door linkage, the face area (5) of the door inner plate is of a material with a greater wall thickness than the remainder of the door structure. The part of the hinge incorporating its eye is arranged to bridge over a recess in the face side (5) of the door (3). This hinge part is formed by a tubular material section, and is fixed by welding over its one face surface to the smooth-surfaced edge positions and over its periphery to the face side of the door. AUSE - As a hinge formation for the doors or tail-gate of a road vehicle.
