Vehicle door hinge assembly
A vehicle door hinge assembly (119) comprising a hinge (101) and a locking assembly 109 configured to retain the hinge in one or more rotational positions, e.g. hold open or intermediate open position; and a control member (123) operated remotely of the hinge to actuate the locking assembly. Preferably the hinge comprises first and second hinge leafs 103, 105 pivotally connected at hinge axis 107 with plurality of circumferentially spaced parallel abutment pins with a retractable locking rod 117 acting perpendicular to the hinge axis and spring biased into the locked position. The control member may be located near a door handle or operatively coupled to a door handle and connected to the locking assembly via one or more linkages or push rods (fig.3); in a further embodiment the control member may be coupled to the locking assembly by powered drive such as a motor. In another embodiment the locking assembly may comprise a ratchet to allow the hinge to pivot in one rotational position and automatically engage in the opposite direction.
