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 1):
A hinge, comprising:\n a first attachment plate configured to secure to a first substrate; a first pivot with a longitudinal axis secured to the first attachment plate; a second attachment plate configured to secure to a second substrate; a second pivot with a longitudinal axis oriented orthogonally from the first pivot longitudinal axis and secured to the second attachment plate, the second pivot configured so that the second attachment plate rotates about the second pivot longitudinal axis; and a drive mechanism mechanically connected to the second attachment plate and the first pivot, and configured to impart a load to the first pivot to cause a rotation of the first pivot s the second attachment plate rotates so that a force resulting from a rotation of the first pivot causes the second attachment plate to translate away from the first attachment plate.
