ABSTRACT:
A double pivot hinge for vehicle doors includes a hinge arm pivotally interconnecting door and vehicle mounted hinge butts. A first and second latch means are alternately movable between latched and unlatched positions to either latch the hinge arm to the door mounted hinge butt for movement of the door and hinge arm as a unit to the 90.degree. open position or to latch the hinge arm to the vehicle mounted hinge butt for movement of the door relative to the hinge arm between 90.degree. and 180.degree. open positions. A detent means detents the first latch means in unlatched position during movement of the door between 90.degree. and 180.degree. open positions. The detent means is automatically released as the door moves from the 180.degree. position to a position immediately adjacent the 90.degree. open position to permit uninterrupted closing movement of the door.
