Suspension for a divided hinged tailgate of a motor vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a suspension for a divided hinged tailgate of a motor vehicle, comprising a frame (30, 30') that can be connected to an upper part (1) of the hinged tailgate (3) of the motor vehicle, and an arm (35) that can be attached to a bottom part (2) of the hinged tailgate (3) of the motor vehicle and that is attached such that it can rotate in relation to the frame (30, 30'). The arm (35) is provided with a stud (37) and the frame is provided with a rotatable securing element (34) having a longitudinal recess (34') for receiving the stud (37). The securing element (34) comprises a driver (41) for transmitting the torque of an actuating device (24), which is attached to the body of the vehicle. The suspension is provided with a latch (13) to secure the securing element (34) against rotation.

Description

technical field The invention relates to a suspension device for a split openable tailgate, in particular a safety device for a fastening element which, when the suspension is fully opened, enables the upper part of the foldable tailgate and The fixed connection of the lower part remains in place. Background technique Suspension devices are known in practice from the prior art, which connect the upper part and the lower part of a separate foldable tailgate and are formed by a frame and a U-shaped arm, which frame is relative to the foldable vehicle The upper part of the tailgate is fixed and the arm is fixed relative to the lower cover of the foldable tailgate and rotatably relative to the frame. A fixing element is fixed rotatably relative to the frame, the fixing element being provided with a groove into which a pin fixedly connected relative to the arm engages. The fastening element is rotated by means of an actuating mechanism which is only fixed relative to the body ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this solution is that, in the open position of the entire foldable tailgate, the fastening element cannot be prevented from rotating in its position at all and thus an unintentional rotation of the fastening element from the second end position, The loosening of the pin and thus the upper and lower connection and the "breaking" of the cover as follows, which can lead to injury to the operator and laborious repeated closing of the cover, in which the second end position the element is towards the first end position direction fixing pin
