A hinge of the type used in motor vehicles to give a 270 DEG opening movement of a door, for example the rear door of a van, has two hinge flaps (2, 3) respectively mounted on parallel pivot pins (4, 6) in a bracket (1). Each flap has a gear (5,7) fixed thereto and smooth control of opening of the hinge is achieved by the gears meshing together either directly or, in an alternative embodiment, through a series of two intermediate gears. <IMAGE> |
