Abstract: A hinge device for a flap of a motor vehicle includes a piston/cylinder unit arranged between a fixed structural part and a first flap which is pivotable about an axis of rotation. A second flap is likewise pivotable about the axis of rotation and can be connected releasably to the first flap. The piston/cylinder unit is arranged between a first leg, firmly connectable to the fixed structural part, and a second leg carrying the first flap, of a hinge 6. A third leg carries the second flap, wherein the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg 9 are pivotably arranged on a common hinge axis of rotation.

Abstract: A piston/cylinder unit includes a pressure tube and a piston rod connected to a piston and axially displaceable in the pressure tube. A pressure-tube attachment element for the external connection of the piston/cylinder unit is arranged on the pressure tube and a piston-rod attachment element for the external connection of the piston/cylinder unit is arranged on the piston rod. For adaptation to respective installation conditions, the piston-rod attachment is connected to the piston rod and/or the pressure-tube attachment element is connected to the pressure tube, so as to be adjustable in the axial direction.
