Abstract (en)

A vehicle hinge includes a stop mechanism 3 to restrict movement of the door in an opening direction through a first angular distance between a first closed position and a second open position, and a stop mechanism (3) is adapted to be released to permit the door to be moved angularly beyond the second open position after first moving the door through a small angular distance towards the closed position. The stop mechanism (3) comprises a guide track system (52, 54) mounted on one leaf (4) of the hinge and a track follower (30), adapted to follow the guide track system, and carried from the other leaf (2). The track system comprises a first track (52) for the follower (30) to follow in allowing the door to move angularly from the first position to the second position and a second (54) track for the follower to follow, allowing the door to open from the second position to a third open position, movement of the follower (30) between the two tracks being achieved by manual movement of the follower in a lateral direction after first moving the door towards the first closed position. <IMAGE>
