Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door brake which has an opening end stop and which is integrated in a hinge. The hinge is comprised of two hinge halves which are interconnected in a jointed manner by means of a hinge pin. Said hinge halves can alternately engage with one of both door assembly parts, the door, or the door pillar. The hinge pin is connected to the first hinge half in a rotationally fixed manner and is accommodated in the hinge eye of the first hinge half in a rotational manner. In addition, the door brake comprises at least one engaging part which is supported against one of the hinge halves, and has at least one braking or stopping part. Said braking or stopping part is assigned to the engaging part and is supported against the other hinge half. The aim of the invention is to produce a door brake having a reduced number of individual parts and to obtain a smallest possible construction in which the application of high brake forces rise in an increasing manner over the door opening angle. To this end, the door brake is collectively comprised of at least one engaging part and of at least one braking surface. Said engaging part is radially aligned in relation to the hinge axis, is connected to one of the hinge halves in a rotationally fixed manner, and can be elastically deformed in a plane which is parallel to the hinge axis. Said braking surface is configured on the hinge pin and is limited by an end stop. The at least one braking surface which is configured on the hinge pin and which interacts with the engaging part slopes upward in the direction of the hinge axis.
