Please help identify this Friction Stay Hinge part

[ReggieStrant]

Hi, I'm hoping somebody here can identify a small plastic part incorporated into most (all?) so-called 'friction stay hinges'. I have a top hung UPVC window incorporating a rather large such hinge that an angry child swung on, causing a snapping of the part highlighted in the picture. The part on the broken hinge that I have is made of plastic. I'm guessing this will be true of all such windows.

I'm hoping I can repair an otherwise functioning window by replacing this small widget, but for that I really need to know its name. Any advice will be gratefully received.

Cheers.

PS : think I have the answer myself; is it called a "sliding shoe"?

New hinge

Yep new hinge required, the part in question is the weak point but is pressed/riveted into place and is not removable
