Vehicular hinge assembly

Abstract:

The invention relates to a hinge comprising a first part (11) that can be pivoted relative to a second part (12) about a pivot axis (a), wherein the first part (11) comprises at least one bore (13) and the second part (12) at least one recess (15a, 15b), wherein, in a final assembly position, at least pin one (17a, 17b) that is coaxial to the pivot axis (a), has a first longitudinal portion in the bore (13) and with a second longitudinal portion in the recess (15a, 15b), and the pin (17a, 17b) can be moved between a pre-assembly position, in which the pin (17a, 17b) is in the bore (13) or in the recess (15a, 15b) with a larger overlap with respect to the final assembly position, and the final assembly position. The special feature is that at least one holding element (18) can extend through a passage (31) in a seat (28) in such a way that the pin (17a, 17b) can be moved by the holding element (18) from the pre-assembly position into the final assembly position and that, in the final assembly position, the holding element (18) is positioned in such a way that it prevents a return movement of the pin (17a, 17b) from the final assembly position into the pre-assembly position.
