A hinge capable of widely expanding includes an arc-shaped guide member, two movable members and two torsion generating members, wherein first guide rails are formed on two sides of the arc-shaped guide member, and a circular displacement track is defined by an arc center of the arc-shaped guide member. Each of the two movable members, respectively positioned on two sides of the arc-shaped guide member, is provided with a working surface contacting one of the first guide rails and an arc-shaped through hole penetrating therethrough. The arc center of the arc-shaped through hole is the same as the arc-shaped guide members'. Each of the two torsion generating members is assembled to the arc-shaped guide member through the arc-shaped through hole to which one of the two movable members belongs. The two movable members are guided by the arc-shaped guide member to move on the circular displacement track.

A door assembly for a vehicle. The door assembly has a door body and a hinge. The hinge is connected to the door body and is rotatable about an axis of the hinge. The hinge is configured to expand along the axis from a contracted position to an expanded position when rotated in a first direction, and is configured to contract along the axis from the expanded position to the contracted position when rotated in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. In the contracted position, the door body is in a closed, lowered position. In the expanded position, the door body is in an open, raised position.

A curved hinge apparatus includes a curved hinge on which a luggage compartment cover of a vehicle is mountable, where, in an installed position of the curved hinge apparatus in the vehicle, the curved hinge is movable between an open position and a closed position through an opening in a luggage compartment trim of the vehicle which is delimited by a wall. The curved hinge is surrounded by a curved hinge cover. An outer side of the curved hinge cover has, facing away from the luggage compartment cover in the installed position, a portion which expands in a longitudinal direction of the curved hinge cover and which closes the opening in the open position. An inner side of the curved hinge cover has a support portion which abuts against an outer side of the curved hinge and which is spaced apart from the portion of the curved hinge cover.

One general aspect includes a trunk lid support device, including: a gooseneck member with a first end and a second end, where the first end is configured to couple to an interior sidewall of an automotive trunk and the second end is configured to couple to an automotive trunk lid; where the gooseneck member includes: a base assembly of a hollow construction located at the first end and configured to couple to the interior sidewall, an intermediate segment of a hollow construction, and a connection segment located at the second end.
