#CMT# #/CMT# The device (9) has a coupling element (11) rotatably supported at a holder (10) about a rotational axis (12). An adjustment drive (17) is connected with the coupling element and inserted between the coupling element and an actuating linkage (13). The holder and coupling element are connected with each other under interconnection of an over-center linkage (20), which is transferred into an extended position by a rotary motion of the coupling element. The over-center linkage is pre-stressed by a spring (28) in an over-center position, and secured by a stop (42) in the extended position. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a vehicle comprising a body. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Actuating device for a vehicle (claimed) such as motor vehicle i.e. cabriolet vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The over-center linkage is transferred into the extended position by the rotary motion of the coupling element, pre-stressed by the spring in the over-center position and secured by the stop in the extended position, thus eliminating need for a ring segment, and hence reducing the space required for the device. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of an actuating device in a locked condition of a droptop tonneau cover. 9 : Actuating device 10 : Holder 11 : Coupling element 12 : Rotational axis 13 : Actuating linkage 17 : Adjustment drive 20 : Over-center linkage 28 : Spring 42 : Stop. |
