Abstract
A multiaxis closure hinge for pivotally mounting a closure panel adjacent to an opening in a body to rotate about a point remote from the hinge between a closed position over the opening and an open position disposed apart from the opening is disclosed. The hinge comprises a body pintle and a panel pintle, each, having an inner and an outer end, each inner end having an inner axis, each outer end having an outer axis a body bearing mount at the outer end of the body pintle for pivotally mounting the body pintle to the body for rotation about a first axis; a bearing mount at the outer end of the panel pintle for pivotally mounting the panel pintle to the panel for rotation about a second axis; and a coupling block for rotatably coupling the inner ends of the body pintle and panel pintle together in fixed angled relation to one another to rotate, one in relation to the other, about a third axis disposed substantially coincident to the inner axis of a respective one of the pintles, and, with respect to the first axis and second axis, in non-congruent angled relation; wherein the first, second and third axes intersect at the point during rotation between the open and closed positions.
