  "textContent": "A vehicle hood hinge includes a hinge arm (10) contacted with a bottom surface of hood (60) at its top surface and provided with a fitting hole (11) and first and second hinge holes (13, 14), the fitting hole (11) being fitted into the bottom surface of the hood (60) by a bolt (70), and the first and second hinge holes (13, 14) being formed at front and rear portions of one side of the hinge arm (10); first and second links (40, 50) being respectively fitted into the first and second hinge holes (13, 14) by a shaft pin (31) at their top portions; a hinge support (20) provided with a hinge hole (23) at one side portion and securing holes (21) at front and rear portions, the hinge hole (23) being rotatably fitted to a bottom portion of the second link (50) by the shaft pin (30), and the securing holes (21) being fitted into a top surface of the vehicle at its bottom surface by a bolt (70); a slot (22) longitudinally pierced in length direction to detach the hinge pin (30) fitted into the bottom portion of the first link (40) from a center shaft of the hinge during external impact; and a hinge positioning means (70) formed in the slot (22) to prevent the hinge pin (30) from being detached from a normal hinge operation position. In case that a hood is in contact with a body of a walker due to a head-on collision accident between a vehicle and the walker during driving of the vehicle, the hood moves downwardly to absorb impact energy as a bottom end of the first link moves along a slot, thereby reducing injury of the walker.",
