ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door opening/closing hinge device comprises an outer link having one end connected to a first pillar pin and the other end connected to a first door pin, an inner link disposed longitudinally apart from the outer link and having one end connected to a second pillar pin, and a connecting link having one end connected to the other end of the inner link and the other end connected to a second door pin, so as to form a five joint link mechanism. The inner link is formed with a guide member having a slot engageable with a third door pin to control door opening positions. In the above door hinge device, since an angle subtended by the inner link and the connecting link is small at the door full closed position, it is possible to increase the thickness of the vehicle pillar for providing a more rigid pillar, widen the passenger getting in-or-out space at passenger's feet at the initial door open position, and smoothly and widely open the door to the door full open position for providing a wider passenger's space.
