ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly for mounting to a vehicle body a rear deck movable closure panel, wherein as the panel is opened its forward edge is shifted rearward away from adjacent body structure. The hinge assembly includes a forward sector gear fixed to a panel-half hinge member and an aft sector gear pivoted to a body-half hinge member wherein the sector gears are disposed between a pair of angled link members. The body-half hinge member includes inboard and outboard opposed wall surfaces having upper and lower pairs of aligned horizontal guide slots. The aft sector gear and pair of links are supported between the wall surfaces with the aft sector gear meshed with the forward sector gear and a subjacent gear rack. The links tie a forward sector gear pivot pin to an intermediate pivot pin slidably received in the upper pair of guide slots and an aft pivot pin slidably received in the lower pair of guide slots. As the panel and forward sector gear rotate counter-clockwise to the panel open position, the aft sector gear rotates clockwise while conjointly traveling rearward on the gear rack together with the forward pivot pin, about which the panel is rotating. Thus, as the panel moves from its closed position to its full open position, the panel forward edge clears the vehicle body.
