Hinge structure of a vehicle door

摘要

A hinge structure of a jutting door for a vehicle has a hinge member pivotally attached to between the inside of a vehicle body and a door at the both ends, the hinge member swinging so that the door opens with a forward movement. The door hinge structure comprises a rod member having a length different from that of the hinge member. The rod member is pivotally attached to between the inside of the vehicle body and the door at the both ends so as to restrain an outer end of the door from excessively opening. The hinge member has an avoiding part for avoiding a touch with the vehicle body when the door is fully or near fully open. The hinge part can be arranged on the passenger compartment side which is unaffected by mud, without the hinge part and the rod part protruding into the passenger compartment to obstruct the passenger when the door is fully closed. When the door is fully open, the door juts out and moves forward so that a large door space is secured near the hinge part for the sake of wheelchair access.
