ABSTRACT:
A hinge mechanism for a vehicle door including a support arm and a control arm, both which are pivotably connected between a mounting surface along the vehicle body and the door. The support arm is typically mounted forward of the control arm along the vehicle body. The door includes an end surface extending between an exterior and an interior of the door adjacent the mounting surface of the vehicle body. The end surface has a lower vertical section measuring a predetermined length and an upper inclined section. The mounting surface is aligned with the vertical section. The support arm extends along a substantial portion of the predetermined length of the vertical section of the door. The support arm is mounted to the mounting surface of the vehicle body by a first shaft and a second shaft pivotally mounts the door along the end surface thereof to the opposite end of the support arm. The control arm is pivotably mounted at opposite ends between the mounting surface and the door, allowing the control arm to pivot with the support arm. The vertical dimension of the control arm is small relative to the predetermined length of the lower vertical section of the door.
