ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a foldable panel for an automotive vehicle in which two plates are interconnected via hinge pins each having two parallel spindles which are respectively rotatably received in cylindrical envelopes formed in reinforcing members fixedly attached to the plates. The arrangement allows the two plates to be folded together in a manner that the upper layer of the panel is always smoothly folded with a single fold without the tendency of multiple folding induced by normal hinges and can be unfolded to a flat bulge free configuration across the line of folding.
