D-5625 C-3349 CLOSURE PANEL HINGE Abstract of the Disclosure The hinge for mounting a closure panel on a vehicle body includes a body bracket mounted on the vehicle body and having a cam surface and an elongated cam slot. A panel bracket is mounted on the closure panel and has a cam follower portion slidably bearing on the cam surface of the body bracket to define a first cam arrangement. A tor- sion bar has one end nonrotatably mounted on the vehicle body and the other end nonrotatably mounted on the panel bracket so that the torsion bar tor- sionally biases the panel bracket and closure panel to a normal pivotal position relative the vehicle body. The portion of the torsion bar mounted on a panel bracket extends slidably through the cam slot of the body bracket to define a second cam arrangement. The first and second cam arrangements are arranged relative one another whereby upon pivotal opening movement of the closure panel, the closure panel is bodily shifted to avoid inter- ference of the closure panel with the vehicle body.
