Problems solved by technology
These cuts can potentially weaken the frame structure, thus requiring structural stiffeners, which add weight and cost to the vehicle structure
In addition, the use of gooseneck hinges creates restrictions on construction adjacent to the body and / or frame, as it will need to be accommodated in the door closed position; gooseneck hinges cannot be used when there is insufficient space adjacent to the vehicle structure

The invention discloses a double-pivot horizontal translation hinge which is attached between a fixed first base plate such as an automobile body and a rotary second base plate such as an automobile door. The hinge horizontally extends when the second base plate is rotated. In certain embodiments, the hinge comprises a knuckle and a driving screw mechanism, when the second base plate is rotated, the driving screw mechanism enables the geometric structure of the hinge to be changed, and accordingly, a driving screw rotates through a set of gears or racks and pinons. In other embodiments, the hinge comprises a spiral screw, the spiral screw is changed in length as the second base plate rotates, and accordingly, the hinge horizontally extends.
Description
technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to hinges for vehicle closures. In particular, a hinge is described that includes vertical and horizontal pivot axes and that produces lateral translation in conjunction with normal closure rotation. Background technique [0002] It is ideal for vehicle closures, particularly those on utility vehicles such as trucks and SUVs, to be able to fully open the body opening and thus provide unobstructed access to the interior of the vehicle. This access allows large items up to the size of the opening to be placed in and removed from the vehicle more easily. The ability of the closure to disengage completely from its body opening is generally determined by the configuration of the hinges used to attach and suspend the closure to the vehicle body. [0003] For styling and aerodynamic benefits, many vehicles require hidden hinges when the closure is closed. To meet this requirement, the hinge must be housed inside the...
