Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9920863A1] The invention provides a multiaxis closure hinge for pivotally mounting a closure panel adjacent to an opening in a body to rotate about a point (13) remote from the hinge between a closed position over the opening and an open position disposed apart from the opening. The hinge includes a body pintle (1), having an inner and an outer end, with body mount means (2) at the outer end thereof for pivotally mounting the body pintle (1) to the body for rotation about a first axis (10); a panel pintle (4), having an inner and an outer end, with panel mount means (3) at the outer end thereof for pivotally mounting the panel pintle (4) to the panel for rotation about a second axis (11); and coupling means (5) for rotatably coupling the inner ends of the body pintle (1) and panel pintle (4) together to rotate about a third axis (12); wherein the first, second and third axes intersect at said point (13) during rotation between the open and closed positions. In a preferred embodiment, the body pintle (1) and panel pintle (4) comprise elongate rods, the inner end having an axis disposed at a predetermined angle relative to an axis of the outer end. The pintles include retainer means for axially securing the pintle ends to the mount and coupling means (2, 3, 6), such as press fit retainer bushings (6). The mount means comprises a flanged bearing mount (2), and the coupling means comprises a coupling block (5) having means for coupling the inner end axes at an acute angle, and for fixing one said pintle (1) to the coupling block (5) to prevent relative rotation therebetween.
