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 15):
The vehicle of  claim 14 , wherein the drive mechanism is comprised of:\n a lift arm with a first end and a second end located distal from the first end, the first end of the lift arm being rotatably attached to the first pivot so that the lift arm rotates up away from the plane of the first attachment plate when a load is placed upon the first end of the lift arm, the first end further including a linkage pivot point and the second end further including a bracket pivot point; a linkage arm with a first end and a second end located distal from the first end, the second end being rotatably attached to the linkage pivot point and the first end including a knuckle pivot point; a drive mechanism bracket with a first end rotatably secured to a second pivot, the second pivot having a longitudinal axis oriented orthogonal from the first pivot longitudinal axis, and a second end located distal from the first end and rotatably secured to the bracket pivot point; a threaded knuckle rotatably attached to the knuckle pivot point; and a threaded leadscrew with a longitudinal axis, rotatably secured to the drive mechanism bracket and passing through the knuckle so that rotating the leadscrew causes the knuckle to move along the leadscrew longitudinal axis, imposing a load upon the lift arm via the linkage arm, and thereby causing the lift arm to rotate away from the plane of the first attachment plate.
