BED PANEL WITH TORSION PIN HINGE

摘要

A method and apparatus for coupling a vehicle body panel partition (20) for pivotal movement between an upright and a retracted position. A mounting (22) includes hinge sets (24) formed from two hinge leafs, A hinge leaf being used to retain one of the ends of the torsion rod pin extending through aligned pivot portions on each hinge set. Preferably, each hinge set is integrally formed with the torsion pin by retainers holding ends of the torsion pin with respect to one leaf of each of the hinge sets. In the preferred embodiment, a return bent end of a common torsion pin is received in a first leaf of one of at least two hinge sets, while the other end of the rod is return bend and retained in a second leaf of a second hinge set.
