ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a door hinge for a door of a vehicle. The inventive hinge comprises a first and a second guiding arrangement (7, 20; 7, 30, 31) for fixing at least one holding position for the door hinge. Said hinge also comprises a first and a seond free end (19) which engage with the first and second guiding arrangements. Said ends belong to a spring element (16). The aim of the invention is to provide a door hinge that is constructed in a compact manner and reliably enables to fix the door hinge, whereby moments crosswise in relation to the swivelling axis are prevented. To this end, the first free end (19) and the second free end (19) respectively are arranged in a mirror-inverted manner in relation to each other and at the remaining halve (3) of the hinge.
