Abstract
A hood assembly for a motor vehicle includes a hood, a hinge with a first arm, and a pin fixed to the first arm in a projecting manner along a mounting axis and a second arm of the hood hinged to the first arm around a hinge axis, a structural member fixed to the pin and provided with a hole axially receiving the pin along the mounting axis, wherein the hinge axis and the mounting axis lie respectively on a first plane and on a second plane parallel to one another, and wherein a projection of the hinge axis onto the second plane is orthogonal to the mounting axis.
Claims15
A hood assembly for a motor vehicle, the hood assembly comprising
- a hood suitable for covering a compartment of the motor vehicle,
- a hinge comprising a first arm, a pin fixed to the first arm in a projecting manner relative to the first arm along a mounting axis and a second arm fixed to the hood and hinged to the first arm around a hinge axis, so that the hood can be rotated around the hinge axis,
- a structural member fixed to the pin and provided with a hole, the hole axially receiving the pin along the mounting axis, and
- a sleeve fixed to the structural member in a releasable manner inside the hole and in an axially adjusted position along the mounting axis, wherein the sleeve goes through the hole and axially receives the pin, the sleeve having an end defining a face arranged so as to abut against the first arm,
- wherein the hinge axis and the mounting axis lie respectively on a first plane and on a second plane parallel to one another,
- wherein a projection of the hinge axis onto the second plane is orthogonal to the mounting axis.
A hood assembly for a motor vehicle, the hood assembly comprising a hood suitable for covering a compartment of the motor vehicle,
- a hinge comprising a first arm, a pin fixed to the first arm in a projecting manner relative to the first arm along a mounting axis and a second arm fixed to the hood and hinged to the first arm around a hinge axis, so that the hood can be rotated around the hinge axis,
- a structural member fixed to the pin and provided with a hole, the hole axially receiving the pin along the mounting axis, wherein the structural member extends according to a third plane orthogonal to the mounting axis, the structural member being configured to be arranged between a trunk and a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, so as to delimit the passenger compartment relative to the trunk,
- wherein the hinge axis and the mounting axis lie respectively on a first plane and on a second plane parallel to one another, and
- wherein a projection of the hinge axis onto the second plane is orthogonal to the mounting axis.
