Abstract
This is a hinge that simultaneously articulates two substantially planar surfaces forward, outward and downward, in an arc, relative to one another. The hinge can be attached to, and move, any two substantially planar surfaces. It is especially useful when attaching a door to a car with side exhaust pipes. When I choose a door that curves inwardly toward the interior of the car, and attach the inventive hinge, the curve of the door physically covers the exhaust pipe and exhaust gas.
