Abstract:
Dual pivoting laterally translating hinges that attach between a stationary first substrate such as a vehicle body, and a rotating second substrate such as a vehicle door, and extend laterally when the second substrate is rotated. In some examples, the hinges include a knuckle and leadscrew mechanism that changes the hinge geometry when the second substrate is rotated, causing the leadscrew to rotate by either a set of gears or a rack and pinion. In some further examples, the hinges include a jackscrew that changes length as the second substrate is rotated, causing the hinge to extent laterally.

Claim (Index 14):
A vehicle, comprising:\n a vehicle body; a vehicle door movably secured to the vehicle body by at least two hinges, each hinge further comprising:\n a first attachment plate secured to the vehicle body with a first pivot; \n a drive mechanism with a second pivot oriented orthogonally from the first pivot, the drive mechanism being rotatably attached to the first pivot; and \n a second attachment plate secured to the vehicle door and rotatably attached to the second pivot, the second attachment plate configured to drive the drive mechanism when it rotates; and, \n wherein rotating the door causes the second attachment plate of each hinge to rotate about its corresponding second pivot, causing the vehicle door to move laterally relative to the vehicle body as it rotates.
