Motor vehicle hatchback door opening/closing system has lever mechanisms on both sides of door operated by single actuator with locking couplings

摘要

The motor vehicle (10) hatchback door (12) opening and closing system consists of a lever mechanism (16) on each side of the door's upper end, operated by a drive (26) with a single actuator (30) that moves both mechanisms at the same time. Each lever mechanism is in the form of a deformable parallelogram with two arms (18, 20) that move in a vertical plane, and the actuator is connected to the lever mechanisms by non-reversible couplings (28) that enable the door to be locked in its open and closed positions.
