Abstract
A vehicle hood-mounting arrangement includes a hinge member and an actuator for rotating the hinge member about a first axis of rotation. The hinge member is attached to a vehicle hood at a second axis of rotation. During rotation between a fully opened position and a fully closed position, the vehicle hood translates horizontally and forwardly. Preferably, the vehicle hood mounting arrangement also includes an H-shaped linkage for supporting and stabilizing the vehicle hood.
