The invention relates to a sectional tailgate (48) for a vehicle, comprising a top part (49) that is pivotally arranged on the vehicle body (14, 114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614), and a bottom part (2) which is pivotally arranged on the top part (49). The tailgate further comprises a first locking mechanism (15, 115, 215, 315, 415, 515, 615) for coupling the top part (49) of the tailgate (48) to the vehicle body (14, 114, 214, 314, 414, 514, 614) for a first open position of the tailgate, and a second locking mechanism (8, 108, 208, 308, 408, 508, 608) for coupling the top part (49) and the bottom part (2) of the tailgate (48) to each other to form a unit for a second open position of the tailgate. Furthermore, at least one actuator (6, 106, 206, 306, 406, 506, 606a, b) is provided that acts on at least one locking mechanism (15, 115, 215, 315, 415, 515, 616; 8, 108, 208, 308, 408, 508, 608). In order to design a sectional, particularly a two-piece tailgate which comprises locking mechanisms for a first and a second open position, operates effectively, and requires a small number of components, at least one locking mechanism (15, 115, 215, 315, 415, 515, 615; 8, 108, 208, 308, 408, 508, 608) encompasses a locking element (4, 104, 204, 304, 404, 504, 604 a,b) that can be moved between a first and a second final position, has a locking effect in at least one of the final positions, and has a toothed surface (5, 105, 205, 305, 405, 505, 605a, b). |
