Abstract
A door hinge for a vehicle door is provided with an integrated door check. One hinge member carries on its one end face a profile in the form of depressions, in which are inserted the retaining elements, e.g. in the form of balls, for a temporary arresting in predetermined positions. The balls are pressed down by a set of cup springs via a pressure plate or a ball bearing, so that there is a rolling movement of the retaining elements on the profile faces and on the pressure plate or ball bearing. The door check integrated into the door hinge is adjustable and/or readjustable with respect to its arresting force.
