A door hinge assembly is provided. The door hinge assembly includes a first hinge plate, a second hinge plate, one or more bushings, a hinge pin and a hollow sleeve. The first and second hinge plate includes a one or more first and second knuckles aligned axially. At least one of the one or more bushings is positioned in between the first and second knuckle to prevent direct contact of first and second knuckle. The hinge pin is disposed through the first and second knuckles and one or more bushings. The hollow sleeve acts a covering to the hinge pin. The hollow sleeve further prevents contact of the sides of the first knuckle, bushings and second knuckle with the hinge pin. This prevents a direct metal on metal contact and further prevents squeak or other noises occurred during the opening and closing of the door.

A method of assembling a vehicle door hinge that includes providing a first bracket comprising a single pivot arm extending transversely from a base of the first bracket, wherein a first pivot axis hole is disposed in the single pivot arm of the first bracket; providing a second bracket comprising a single pivot arm extending transversely from a base of the second bracket, wherein a cylindrical bearing of a pivot bushing is disposed in a second pivot axis hole disposed in the single pivot arm of the second bracket; and coupling a pivot pin to the pivot bushing and the first and second brackets to rotatably couple the first and second brackets together by press fitting a knurled cylindrical surface of the pivot pin with a receiving surface of the single pivot arm of the first bracket that defines the first pivot axis hole, wherein a shoulder of the pivot pin that is adjacent to the knurled cylindrical surface is disposed within a bore of the pivot pin and the second pivot axis hole.

A vehicle door hinge that includes a door bracket mountable to a vehicle door, a body bracket mountable to a vehicle body, a pivot bushing having a cylindrical bearing that is disposed within a pivot axis hole of the body bracket, and a pivot pin that rotatably couples the door bracket and the body bracket together. The pivot pin includes a first shoulder disposed within the cylindrical bearing; and the pivot pin includes a second shoulder extending from the first shoulder. The second shoulder has a knurled cylindrical surface that is disposed within a pivot axis hole of the door bracket.

An automotive door hinge comprises first and second brackets mountable selectively to one of the door and the body. A cam element. non-rotationally mounted to the second bracket. comprises a cam surface adapted to engage with a cam follower non-rotationally housed within a first housing of the first bracket. An energy storage means respectively stores and releases energy when the cam follower longitudinally translates within the first housing in a first direction and then in a second direction opposite the first direction. Relative rotation of the first bracket in relation to the second bracket within a predetermined angular range causes longitudinal translation of the cam follower, wherein as the door is closed. the cam follower engages the cam surface and translates longitudinally in the second direction whereby the energy stored by the energy storage means is released to assist door closure.

A door tilting system for a slidable vehicle door, and a method for adjusting a door tilting system, where the door tilting system forms part of a pivoting joint between the vehicle door and a movable arm structure connecting the vehicle door to a vehicle body structure. The door tilting system includes an inner socket and an outer socket, where the inner socket is arranged inside the outer socket and rotatably arranged relative to the outer socket. The inner socket includes a receiving opening configured for receiving a fastening device. The receiving opening has an elongated configuration, and the receiving opening is extending in a first direction along a first axis through the inner socket. The door tilting system is configured for changing the first direction of the receiving opening relative to the outer socket upon rotational displacement of the inner socket relative to the outer socket.

A door hinge assembly is provided which can prevent the phenomenon of closure of an open door by performing a self-stay function, and can improve a worker's or user's convenience and implement a cost saving effect by simplifying the configuration compared to the prior art in which a hinge and a stay are separately provided. To this end, the door hinge assembly includes a hinge shaft, a rotary plate which has one side rotatably connected to the hinge shaft and has the other side connected to a door, and a fixing plate which has one side connected to the hinge shaft and has the other side fixed to a door frame which is formed on the wall surface of an inner space that is opened and closed by the door, wherein the upper end surface of the rotary plate is divided into a reference surface and a stepped surface which has a relatively lower height than the reference surface, and a protrusion part which can be mounted on the reference surface is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the hinge shaft which faces the upper end surface of the rotary plate.

A hinge assembly is disclosed that may include one or more leaves that can be connected to a panel. The hinge assembly may further include a barrel having a passage through which a pivot pin passes. A spacer is positioned in an opening between a first barrel section and a second barrel section. Bushings are disposed within the first and second barrel sections.
