ABSTRACT:
A flush mounted hinge assembly for pivotally mounting a heavy closure on an armored vehicle such that the closure is disposed within an opening in the vehicle hull and is pivotal at least 180.degree. to an open position comprises two pairs of first and second hinge plates pivotally connected to intermediate hinge members so as to enable the first and second hinge plates to pivot about substantially parallel axes with respect to the intermediate hinge members. The hinge plates are disposed within recesses in the exterior surfaces of the closure and the hull, and the intermediate hinge members are mounted on an outwardly facing surface of a floating link member which extends between the intermediate hinge members and which constrains the intermediate hinge members for concerted movement. Seals are provided between the interior surface of the closure and a backing stop provided by the hull, and between the floating link member and the back side of the hinge plates and the closure for sealing the opening when the closure is in closed position.
