PIVOT SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR LIFT ASSIST OF A CLOSURE
An apparatus allows movement of a closure for a vehicle in multiple directions, while also rotating about two different axes to avoid contact with another object of the vehicle. The apparatus may include multiple springs to counter the weight of the closure while opening the closure, as well as to provide lift assistance while closing the closure. The apparatus may further include a mount and a bracket that allow other components (e.g., shaft, springs) to rotate about two different axes.
