ABSTRACT:
A gooseneck type hinge (18) for a vehicle body deck lid (16) includes a gooseneck member (20) moved by a control link (42) between a vertically extending orientation in an open position of the deck lid and a horizontally extending orientation in a closed position of the a deck lid so as to limit the extent to which the gooseneck member (20) of the hinge intrudes into the usable space of the associated vehicle body compartment (12). A universal hinge member (30) of the hinge has a first pivotal connection (32) for providing pivoting thereof about a first axis A on a vehicle body mounted member (28) and also has a second pivotal connection (34) that mounts a first end (22) of the gooseneck member (20) with respect thereto about a second axis B that is generally transverse to the first axis A. A deck lid member (36) of the hinge is fixed to the deck lid (16) and has a pivotal connection (40) for providing pivotal mounting of a second end (24) of the gooseneck member (20) in order to permit the swinging movement of the gooseneck member under the operation of the control link (42). A counterbalance spring (46) that is preferably of the spiral type extends between the body member (28) and the universal hinge member (30) of the hinge to counterbalance the weight of the deck lid (16) in the open position.
