<p>A hinge and check assembly (10) for checking the door of a motor vehicle when in the open position. A base (12) has check profiles (34, 36) establishing predetermined check positions. A strap (14) provides a spring biased contact surface (60, 68) for engaging the check profiles (34, 36) formed in the base (12) and is pivotally connected to the base (12) through a pivot pin (16) that defines a hinge axis (18), such that the strap (14) rotates with the door of the vehicle about the hinge axis (18). Upon rotation of the strap (14), the contact surface (60, 68) follows the check profile (34, 36) and establishes a predetermined check position. The check profiles (34, 36) are perpendicular to the pivot pin (16), and the contact surfaces are perpendicular to the check profiles (34, 36) so that the check force applied to the pivot pin (16) is in an axial direction.</p> |
