Device for simultaneously opening and closing a lower and an upper wall part of a tailgate

摘要

So that the device takes up a minimum amount of space for the simultaneous opening and closing of a lower and an upper wall part of a tailgate, in particular the tailgate of a lorry, the use of an articulated chain which connects the lower and upper wall part is proposed, which chain is guided via deflection pins, deflection rollers or the like in a slidable fashion and is connected by its one end to one wall part at a distance from the pivot axis of the wall part and is connected by its other end to the lever at a distance from the axis of rotation of a lever which moves the other wall part.
