AN APPARATUS FOR OPENING AND CLOSING A LID PIVOTALLY CONNECTED TO A FRAME, ESPECIALLY A CAR BOOT LID

摘要

The invention concerns an apparatus for opening and closing a lid pivotally connected to a frame, especially a car boot lid, including a strut between a lid and a frame with a first linking part attached to the lid and a second linking part attached to the frame, whereas both the linking parts are constrainedly relatively movable by means of a mechanical and/or pneumatic and/or hydraulic actuator to achieve a strut length change, wherein the strut is fitted with a disengaging device for disabling the constrained relative motion of the first linking part and the second linking part of the relatively movable linking parts of the strut.
