Problems solved by technology

The downside here is the need to use a bulky drive mechanism
Furthermore, gas springs that are oversized for opening purposes have the disadvantage that the user faces difficulties in overcoming the force of the gas spring when manipulating the gas spring for closing
The disadvantage here is the reduced capacity of the compartment
The drive mechanism for the tailgate is more bulky and the vehicle's cabin is reduced

Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present invention relates to a vehicle comprising a body and a tailgate pivotally movable relative to the body between a closed position and an open position. A reciprocating gas spring and a lever drive the tailgate to rotate through each force arm, and both the gas spring and the lever have force arms, wherein the force arm of the transmission lever is greater than the force arm of the gas spring. Furthermore, the gas spring is adapted to drive the transmission lever. Thus, the tailgate is not only actuated by the first member acting as a gas spring, but also by the second member acting as a transmission lever that increases the torque applied to the tailgate. Since the moment arm of the gas spring actuating the lever is larger than the moment arm of the gas spring, there is a transfer of force from the gas spring to the lever and a reduction in the moment arm actuating the tailgate; the opening torque of the tailgate is increased , making it easier to open the t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle including a body and a tail gate mobile in rotation relative to the body between a closed position and an open position. The vehicle also includes a gas spring for actuating the tail gate, where actuation of the tail gate by the gas spring is done by a first lever arm. The vehicle includes a transmission lever for actuating the tail gate and actuation of the tail gate by the transmission lever is done by a second lever arm greater than the first lever arm. The gas spring is adapted to activate the transmission lever. The tail gate can thus be opened more easily, while limiting the bulk of the drive mechanism of the tail gate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle with a tailgate. Background technique [0002] Vehicle tailgates are usually hinged to the rear of the vehicle body and are actuated by gas springs. figure 1 An embodiment of such a tailgate according to the prior art is shown. The vehicle includes a body 12 and a tailgate 14 located at the rear of the body 12, and the tailgate 14 is movable by a driving mechanism. The tailgate 14 is hinged to the vehicle body 12 about a hinge axis 18 . Gas springs 16 assist movement of the tailgate 14 about hinges 18 . The gas spring 16 is connected on the one hand to the vehicle body 12 via a hinge 20 and on the other hand to the tailgate 14 via a hinge 22 . exist figure 1 Also shown in is a plurality of positions of the tailgate, namely a closed position 24 , intermediate positions 26 and 27 and an open position 28 . [0003] In each illustrated position 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 of the tailgate 14 , the gas spring 16 similarly exert...
