A construction assembly including a gas spring.

摘要

A gas spring (1) is provided in an illustrational example between a framework (4) and a trunk cover (5) of a motor vehicle for compensating for the weight of the trunk cover (5) during movement of said trunk cover (5). The gas spring (1) is hinged to the framework (4) and to the trunk cover (5). For eliminating the spring force action onto the hinge (6) between the trunk cover (5) and the gas spring (1) in the closed position of the trunk cover (5), the part of the gas spring (1) hinged to the trunk cover (5) is supported on the framework (4), when the trunk cover (5) is in its closed position. Alternately, the gas spring (1) is locked when the trunk cover (5) is in its closed position.
