ABSTRACT:
A hinge mechanism for a vehicle door, in which a vehicle body includes a door section having an arm rest extending along an interior portion thereof. The bottom surface of the arm rest contains a recessed section defined along the vehicle interior by a contour line extending along at least a forward portion of the bottom surface of the arm rest. A support arm extends between the door section and the vehicle body to provide primary support for the door section. A control arm with attached cover extends between the door section and the vehicle body for guiding the door section when the door section is opened and closed. The support arm and the control arm are pivotally attached to both the door section and the vehicle body. The control arm and cover have a cross-sectional dimension, when viewed from above, substantially corresponding to the contour line, enabling the control arm and cover to be substantially flush with the contour line when the door is closed.
