PIVOT ELEMENT OF A GOOSENECK HINGE OF A TRUNK LID

摘要

A pivot element (10) of a gooseneck hinge (6) for a trunk lid (4) of a vehicle comprises a body with a box forming a cavity (16) for pivotally receiving the end of a gooseneck-shaped pivoting arm (12) of the hinge (6); and at least one mounting bracket (18) adjacent the cavity (16). The bottom (32) of the cavity (16), opposed to the bracket (18), comprises an opening (20) and the pivot element (10) comprises a metal cover (34) over said opening (20). The opening (20) permits the sidewalls (30) of the box to be pressed against a bushing of the pivot connection between the pivoting arm (12) and the pivot element (10). The cover (34) prevents the propagation of sound from the trunk to the passenger compartment.
