ABSTRACT:
A hood hinge assembly for operatively attaching a hood to a vehicle body of a vehicle including a base adapted to be operatively fixed to the vehicle. The hood hinge assembly also includes an actuator link adapted for pivotal attachment to the hood at a first pivot point and a mount link pivotally attached to the actuator link at a second pivot point. The hood hinge assembly includes a lever link pivotally attached to the mount link at a third pivot point and pivotally attached to the base at a fourth pivot point. The hood hinge assembly further includes an actuator operable to pivot the actuator link, mount link, and the lever link to thereby move the first pivot point away from the vehicle. The hood hinge assembly includes a support link pivotally attached to the mount link at a fifth pivot point. The support link is operable to support the mount link at the fifth pivot point as the mount link pivots about the second pivot point.
