A gooseneck hinge assembly includes a first gooseneck hinge portion having a first portion first end coupled to a first surface, a first portion second end having a first portion aperture to receive a pin, and a first gooseneck curve between the first portion first end and the first portion second end. The assembly further includes a second gooseneck hinge portion being a mirror image of the first hinge portion and having a second portion first end coupled to the first surface, a second portion second end having a second portion aperture to receive the pin, and a second gooseneck curve between the second portion first end and the second portion second end. The assembly further includes the pin coupled to a second surface and to extend through the first portion aperture and the second portion aperture to facilitate rotation of the second surface relative to the first surface.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a door track, a door operatively connected to the door track and adapted to move between a closed position and an open position, and a hinge assembly coupled to the door. The hinge assembly is movably coupled to the door track and includes a first bracket coupled to the door, a second bracket coupled to the first bracket, and a transport assembly coupled to the second bracket and adapted to move along the door track as the door moves between the open and closed positions. The transport assembly includes a coupling member for releasably coupling the second bracket to the transport assembly. Upon movement of the second bracket from the first position to the second position, the door moves to an extended open position with respect to the door track.

Disclosed is an assembly and a vehicle and apparatus including the assembly, for maintaining a vehicle door in an open position may include at least one rod member configured to connect at a first end to the door and at a second end to a vehicle frame. A tab may be connected to and extend in at least one direction from the rod member. A plunger may be configured to be anchored in the door and including a pin configured to extend from and retract into the plunger. The pin may be configured to engage the tab when extended and disengage from the tab when retracted.

This disclosure relates to an adjustable hinge assembly for an automobile tailgate. The hinge assembly includes a first mounting plate configured for mounting to an automobile body, a first hinge member attached to the first mounting plate, a second mounting plate configured for mounting to a tailgate, and a second hinge member attached to the second mounting plate. The first and second hinge members are hingedly connected. Adjustment screws are positioned on the hinge assembly to adjust the position of the first hinge member on the first mounting plate in the x and y-directions. An adjustment screw is positioned on the hinge assembly to adjust the position of the second hinge member on the second mounting plate in the z-direction. This is accomplished with minimal effort and tooling.

Exemplary closure member systems for motor vehicles may include one or more power hinge assemblies, non-powered hinge assemblies, or both and are configured to displace a closure member to a fully open position of at least 100 degrees relative to its closed position. The hinge assemblies may embody a multi-axis design for moving the closure member between the closed and fully open positions. The closure member systems may be further configured to move the closure member along different swing paths during an opening sequence and a closing sequence.

A joining structure of a door panel for a lavatory of an aircraft lavatory unit is provided. A plurality of pairs of end surfaces of a structural frame side hinge portion end surface and a door panel side hinge portion end surface facing each other in the vertical direction are alternately provided at intervals in the vertical direction. Bearing members each formed in a cylindrical shape and including a shaft insertion hole are disposed between at least two pairs of end surfaces adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, of the plurality of pairs of end surfaces. Both surfaces of the bearing member are in contact with each of the two pairs of end surfaces.

A truck cap having a cap body with an opening, and a cap door that is movable between open and closed positions with respect to the opening. At least one hinge that attaches to the cap body and the cap door of the truck cap. The hinge includes a first hinge bracket member and a second hinge bracket member. The first hinge bracket member includes a hinge bracket to receive a pivot pin. The second hinge bracket member includes a hinge bracket with an opening sized to receive at least a portion of the pivot pin. The first hinge bracket member and the second hinge bracket member are pivotable with respect to each other about the pivot pin. A longitudinally extending gas prop pivotably attached to the pin extending from the second angled portion of the first hinge bracket member and to the pin of the second hinge bracket member.

A stake post having a locking hinge that enables selective movement of a gate unit between a first position in which the gate unit forms a portion of a retaining wall in cooperation with other gate units, and a second position in which the gate unit is removed from alignment with one or more adjacent gate units to thereby provide an opening through a retaining wall otherwise formed by the stake post when in the first position.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative hinges, door assemblies, storage bins, and vehicles. In an illustrative embodiment a hinge includes a hinge bracket, a hinge pin, a hinge arm, and a detent assembly. The hinge arm is rotatably connected to the hinge bracket via the hinge pin. The detent assembly is adapted to define a detent position of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket that is between an open position and a closed position of the hinge arm relative to the hinge bracket. The detent assembly includes a detent plate and a plunger assembly. The detent plate includes a recess formed therein. The plunger assembly includes an end that is biased at least partially into the recess while circumferentially aligned therewith to define the detent position.
