Hinge for the articulated attachment of a hood to the chassis of a vehicle

Hinge (1, 100) for the articulated attachment of a hood to the chassis of a vehicle, comprising a structure articulated in a plane of movement incorporating a support body (3); an upper bar (2) linked to the support body (3) through at least one articulation (6); a hood support bar (11); and retention means (10) for anchoring the hood support bar (11) to the upper bar (2) under normal conditions of use of the hinge by means of a latch (13) assembled on the support bar (11); the hinge further comprising an electromechanical transducer (12) converting an electrical signal into a mechanical drive with a first end (12a) connected to the latch (13) by means of an articulated attachment which is axially aligned with the articulation linking the upper bar (2) and the support body (11) while the transducer (12) is not operated and the support bar (11) is anchored to the upper bar (2).
