[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement of a carrier device for an object, in particular for an optical output device, on a component of an interior of a motor vehicle, so that an accident behavior of the motor vehicle can be particularly improved.

[0006] This object is achieved according to the invention by an arrangement of a support device for an object, in particular for an optical output device, on a component of an interior of a motor vehicle with the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the remaining claims.

[0007] The invention relates to an arrangement of a support device for an object, in particular for an optical output device, on a component of the interior of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle is designed, for example, as a motor vehicle, in particular as a passenger car, commercial vehicle, or truck.

[0008] The interior can, in particular, be referred to as the vehicle interior. The interior is preferably intended for the residence of at least one vehicle occupant, in particular while the motor vehicle is traveling. This means that the at least one vehicle occupant is located in the interior, for example, while the motor vehicle is traveling. The vehicle occupant is, for example, a driver of the motor vehicle.

[0009] The term "component of a vehicle interior" can be understood, in particular, to mean that the component, particularly in the fully manufactured state of the motor vehicle, is arranged in the interior. The component is, for example, part of a center console of the vehicle. For example, the component is designed as a supporting structure or supporting frame, particularly of the center console.

[0010] The object can, for example, be a table, a cell phone holder, or a cup holder. In particular, however, the object is an optical output device, which is why the invention will be explained below with reference to an optical output device. The optical output device is provided, for example, for outputting, in particular optically, at least one optical signal or at least one item of optical information to the vehicle occupant. For example, the carrier device is part of the optical output device. For example, the optical output device has at least one screen, in particular referred to as a display. For example, the optical information can be output to the vehicle occupant via the screen. In particular, the optical information can be displayed on the screen. The carrier device can, in particular, be referred to as a screen carrier or as a display carrier (DP carrier).

[0011] The support device is guided between at least two positions relative to the component via at least one bearing device, in particular pivotable about a pivot axis, in particular at least indirectly or directly, on the component. According to the invention, a wide variety of guides are possible, such as pivoting or sliding guides, as well as combinations thereof for implementing rotational and / or translational movements. However, a pivoting guide with a pivot axis is preferred, as this is particularly simple and robust. In the following, the invention is therefore presented using a pivoting guide as a representative of all guides possible according to the invention.

[0012] In other words, the support device is connected to the component via the bearing device, in particular at least directly or immediately, wherein the support device is pivotable relative to the component about the pivot axis between the two positions, particularly referred to as pivot positions. This means that the support device is attached to the component, for example, via the bearing device, in particular at least directly or immediately.

[0013] A first of the positions can be referred to, in particular, as the open position, extended position, or operating position. The second position can be referred to, in particular, as the closed position, closed position, or retracted position. Pivoting the support device between the positions can be understood, in particular, as rotating or folding the support device, in particular the optical output device. The optical output device is thus designed, for example, as a folding display.

[0014] The support device has at least one lever element that can be pivoted about a lever axis between at least two lever positions relative to the component, and in particular relative to the support device. In other words, the lever element of the support device can be pivoted between the at least two lever positions relative to the component, and in particular relative to the support device, i.e., for example, from a first of the lever positions to the second of the lever positions and / or from the second lever position to the first lever position.

[0015] The lever element can be pivoted to adjust, in particular to pivot, the support device, in particular from the second position into the first position, in particular from the second lever position into the first lever position. In other words, pivoting the lever element, in particular from the second lever position into the first lever position, is accompanied by adjusting, in particular pivoting, the support device, in particular from the second position into the first position. This means that, for example, adjusting, in particular pivoting, the support device, in particular from the second position into the first position, can be or is effected by pivoting the lever element, in particular from the second position into the first position.In particular, the carrier device is in the first position when the lever element is in the first lever position.

[0016] The lever element can be pivoted to adjust, in particular pivot, the support device, in particular from the first position into the second position, in particular from the first lever position into the second lever position. In other words, pivoting the lever element, in particular from the first lever position into the second lever position, is accompanied by adjusting, in particular pivoting, the support device, in particular from the first position into the second position. This means, for example, that pivoting the lever element, in particular from the second lever position into the first lever position, can or is effected to adjust, in particular pivot, the support device, in particular from the second position into the first position.In particular, the carrier device is in the second position when the lever element is in the second lever position.

[0017] The lever axis and the pivot axis are preferably spaced apart from one another. For example, the pivot axis and the lever axis run parallel to one another. For example, the lever axis and / or the pivot axis run in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle.

[0018] Overall, it can be seen that the lever element is kinematically coupled to the support device in such a way that the support device can be adjusted, in particular pivoted, or moved by pivoting the lever element between the lever positions. It is possible for additional kinematic elements to be coupled to the lever element and the support device. The lever element is, in particular, part of a toggle lever arrangement, via which the support device is kinematically coupled to the component. The lever element is kinematically arranged in series with at least one additional lever element.

[0019] In order to be able to particularly improve the accident behavior of the motor vehicle, in particular in order to particularly increase safety against damage to the optical output device, it is provided according to the invention that the lever element located in the first lever position can be or is acted upon by a stop region of the support device, in particular in a targeted manner, preferably mechanically, in the event of an accident-related deformation of the support device, whereby the lever element can be or is pivoted from the first lever position into the second position in order to adjust, in particular to pivot, the support device from the first position into the second position. This means an actuation that only occurs in the event of an accident-related deformation. Outside of an accident, there is therefore no planned actuation.The lever element is acted upon, in particular, directly by the stop region. However, it is also conceivable for the actuation to occur indirectly, i.e. via further elements. In other words, it is provided that in the event of an accident-related deformation of the support device or as a result of the accident-related deformation of the support device, the stop region of the support device can be or is brought into, in particular a targeted, support system with the lever element, in particular in a force-transmitting manner. As a result, an accident-related force is transmitted from the support device via the stop region to the lever element, whereby, as a result of the force, the adjustment, in particular pivoting, of the support device from the first position to the second position can be or is effected by pivoting the lever element from the first lever position to the second lever position.In other words, the support device can be coupled or is coupled to the lever element via the stop region due to the accident-related deformation of the support device, in particular due to a movement of the stop region relative to the lever element due to the accident-related deformation, in such a way that the lever element can be moved or is moved along with the stop region, whereby the lever element can be pivoted or is pivoted from the first position into the second lever position and thereby the support device can be adjusted, in particular pivoted, or is adjusted, in particular pivoted, from the first position into the second position.

[0020] Accident-related deformation of the support device can be understood, in particular, as a deformation or deformation of the support device, wherein the deformation is caused or is caused by an accident involving the motor vehicle. The accident-related deformation of the support device can be caused, for example, by the vehicle occupant and / or a component of the motor vehicle that is formed separately from the support device, and in particular the optical output device and / or the center console, acting upon the support device.

[0021] The component is, for example, a motor vehicle airbag. The airbag can be specifically referred to as an airbag. The motor vehicle accident is, for example, a frontal collision, specifically referred to as a front impact. Alternatively, it can be a side collision.

[0022] In particular, the lever element can be pushed out of a locked position by being acted upon by the stop region of the support device, particularly if the lever element is part of a toggle lever arrangement. This means that the lever element in the first lever position, for example if the support device is not acted upon by the stop region on the lever element, cannot be pivoted or is pivoted, in particular unintentionally, from the first lever position into the second lever position, i.e. is secured, for example, against unintentional pivoting. By acting upon the lever element with the support device via the stop region, the locked position can be overcome, whereby the lever element can be pivoted or is pivoted from the first lever position into the second lever position.

[0023] The invention is based in particular on the following findings and considerations: In the event of an accident, particularly referred to as a crash, the vehicle occupant or a vehicle dummy and / or the component can impact the optical output device if the carrier device is, for example, in the first position. In particular, because an angle, in particular between the carrier device and the vehicle occupant or the dummy, can be particularly steep in the first position, accident-related impact forces on the optical output device can be particularly high. This can be particularly reliably avoided by means of the arrangement according to the invention. This can be achieved in that the carrier device can be pivoted from the first position into the second position in the event of accident-related deformation or impact on the optical output device.This makes it possible to particularly increase safety against damage, particularly due to an accident, to the optical output device, in particular to the mounting device. In particular, accident-related damage to the mounting device, referred to in particular as the display kinematics, for example in the area of ​​the pivot axis, referred to in particular as the main axis of rotation, can be particularly reliably prevented. This can, for example, prevent a gap from forming between the screen and adjacent components. This means that, for example, partial separation of the folding display at the main axis of rotation in the event of dummy contact and / or airbag contact, in particular in the front impact test, in the event of a vehicle crash can be avoided. For example, failure of pivot bearings, in particular lower ones, of the mounting device on the supporting frame, referred to in particular as the frame segment, of the center console can be particularly reliably prevented.Furthermore, for example, tearing the support device off the component can be particularly reliably prevented. When the support device is in the second position, damage to the optical output device can be particularly reliably prevented in the event of a motor vehicle accident. This can be demonstrated, for example, by crash tests. In particular, the mounting device, specifically referred to as the kinematics, cannot sustain any damage in the second position.

[0024] Overall, it can be seen that the arrangement according to the invention can ensure overload protection of the support device or the optical output device by means of the stop region. With this overload protection, the adjustment of the support device from the first position to the second position, i.e., the folding of the display, can be ensured even with increased force, particularly one caused by an accident. This means, particularly when using a toggle lever arrangement, that the support device or the display can be folded in when force is applied in various contact areas despite the toggle lever arrangement being locked. In other words, overload protection of a toggle lever function can be achieved.

[0025] Furthermore, the arrangement according to the invention can significantly increase the safety, in particular the accident safety, of the motor vehicle. This can be achieved, for example, by particularly reliably preventing damage to the optical output device or the carrier device, whereby, for example, any injuries to the vehicle occupant can be particularly reliably prevented. Alternatively or additionally, by pivoting the carrier device from the first position to the second position, any accident-related impact of the vehicle occupant on the optical output device or the carrier device can be made particularly gentle. In this way, for example, safety against accident-related injuries to the vehicle occupant can be significantly increased.

[0026] In principle, it would be conceivable to pivot the support device from the first position to the second position using predetermined breaking points on the lever element. This would allow the display kinematics or the support device to be "retracted" through a controlled break, i.e., moved from the first position to the second position. However, after retraction, the lever element would then not be in the position referred to in particular as the bottom dead center position (BDC position), as a result of which a stable position cannot be formed. This could result in a rebound effect, in which the support device is moved, in particular again, from the second position or an intermediate position towards the first position. This can be particularly reliably prevented by means of the arrangement according to the invention, as a result of which, for example, injury to the vehicle occupant can be particularly reliably avoided.

[0027] Furthermore, it is conceivable in principle to prevent accident-related damage to the optical output device, in particular the support device, by additional reinforcements of the optical output device, in particular the support device. However, this can significantly increase the installation space of the optical output device or the support device, which is usually not possible due to space constraints. In contrast, the installation space of the optical output device, in particular the support device or the center console, can be designed particularly advantageously, in particular, kept particularly small, by means of the arrangement according to the invention.

[0028] Furthermore, it is provided that the stop region protrudes from a wall of the support device and adjoins the wall, in particular at least indirectly or directly. In other words, the stop region extends obliquely or perpendicular to the wall of the support device. As a result, in the event of an accident-related deformation of the support device, the stop region can act on the lever element particularly advantageously, in particular in a targeted manner, for example in a defined and / or particularly reliable manner. In particular, the wall of the support device can be prevented from acting on the lever element. The wall is, for example, an outer wall, in particular an inner side of the outer wall.

[0029] Preferably, the stop region is ramp-shaped. In other words, the stop region is designed as a ramp, which can in particular be referred to as a crash ramp. The ramp-shaped stop region can in particular be understood as a wedge-shaped stop region. As a result, the stop region can act on the lever element particularly advantageously in the event of an accident-related deformation of the support device. In particular, a wedge effect can be achieved by means of the stop region, whereby the lever element can be moved particularly reliably and / or particularly safely from the first lever position to the second position.

[0030] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the lever element has a stop surface designed corresponding to the stop region, via which the stop region is supported or can be supported when the lever element is acted upon, in particular on the lever element. In other words, in the event of an accident-related deformation of the support device, the lever element located in the first lever position can be acted upon, in particular in a targeted manner, by the stop region of the support device via the stop surface of the lever element, whereby the lever element can be pivoted from the first lever position into the second lever position in order to adjust, in particular pivot, the support device from the first position into the second position. The pivoting of the lever element can thus be effected particularly reliably by the actuation of the support device.

[0031] In particular, the stop surface is arranged at one end of the lever element which is opposite a bearing point of the lever element on the component.

[0032] For example, the stop surface, in particular a stop region comprising the stop surface, of the lever element is ramp-shaped. This allows the wedge effect to be achieved, particularly advantageously, between the stop region of the support device and the stop surface of the lever element.

[0033] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the stop region and the stop surface are spaced apart from one another when the support device is in its undeformed state. This means that a distance is provided between the stop region and the stop surface when the support device is undeformed, i.e. free of the deformation caused by the accident. In other words, the stop region of the support device and the stop surface of the lever element do not touch one another when the support device is in its undeformed state. As a result, the support device can only be acted upon by the lever element after a certain extent of the accident-related deformation of the support device, whereby the pivoting of the support device from the first position to the second position can only take place, for example, above a force level that is set or adjustable, in particular by design.

[0034] Preferably, the stop region and the stop surface are not spaced apart from one another in the deformed state of the support device, in particular as a result of an accident. This means that the stop region and the stop surface touch one another, in particular directly, in the deformed state of the support device. The deformed state of the support device can be understood in particular as a state or a shape of the support device, wherein the support device is deformed in the deformed state as a result of an accident, i.e., for example, deviates from its intended shape in the fully manufactured state. For example, the support device is moved or deformed from the undeformed state into the deformed state due to the accident.

[0035] In a further embodiment, a second lever element is provided which is pivotable about a second lever axis relative to the lever element and via which the support device is coupled to the lever element, in particular mechanically or kinematically. In other words, the support device can be pivoted between the positions by pivoting the lever element between the pivot positions via the second lever element, in particular by pivoting it. This can bring about particularly advantageous kinematics of the optical output device or the storage device. In particular, a lever concept comprising the two lever elements can cover all kinematics of the optical output device or the storage device. The lever elements are preferably formed separately from one another.Preferably, the lever elements are connected to one another, in particular directly, and form in particular a toggle lever arrangement.

[0036] The second lever element is preferably part of the bearing device. The second lever axis is preferably spaced apart from the lever axis. For example, the lever axis and the second lever axis run parallel to each other. The second lever axis runs, for example, in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle.

[0037] In a further embodiment, it is provided that the support device is secured in the second position, in particular after the accident-related pivoting of the support device into the second position, against unintentional adjustment, in particular pivoting, of the support device from the second position, in particular into the first position. In other words, the support device and the lever element, in particular the support device and the lever elements, are coupled to one another, in particular mechanically or kinematically, in such a way that the support device, in particular the lever element and / or the second lever element, is in a stable position in the second position, thereby preventing in particular unintentional adjustment, in particular pivoting, of the support device from the second position, in particular into the first position. The rebound effect can thus be avoided particularly reliably.This can significantly increase the safety of the vehicle. Securing the second position can be achieved either through additional elements, such as locking elements, or the kinematic arrangement forms a locking mechanism in the second position. For example, in a toggle lever arrangement, a locking mechanism is formed when the three axes—the bearing and connecting axes of the two lever elements—lie on a straight line.

[0038] The invention further proposes that the support device be secured in the first position against unintentional adjustment, in particular pivoting, of the support device from the first position, in particular into the second position. For example, this prevents the optical output device from detaching from the first position, i.e., from slipping out, when slight pressure is applied to the display. Securing the first position can also be achieved either by additional elements or by forming a locking mechanism.

[0039] Preferably, the support device, in particular the optical output device, is provided for the center console of the motor vehicle. In other words, the support device, in particular the optical output device, is part of the center console or, in particular, arranged directly on the center console, for example in the fully manufactured state of the motor vehicle. As a result, the optical output device can be positioned in a particularly appealing manner for the vehicle occupant, in particular the driver, which can, for example, particularly increase the comfort of the motor vehicle. In particular, the particularly advantageous accident behavior of the motor vehicle can be brought about at the same time by pivoting the support device from the first position to the second position when the lever element is acted upon by the stop region of the support device in an accident.

[0040] Preferably, the component, in particular the support device, is part of the center console of the motor vehicle. In other words, the component is designed, for example, as a support element and / or as a frame element of the center console. This allows the optical output device to be positioned particularly advantageously, thereby significantly increasing the comfort of the motor vehicle. In particular, this can simultaneously achieve particularly advantageous crash behavior of the motor vehicle.

[0041] In a further embodiment, at least one electric machine is provided, by means of which the support device can be adjusted, in particular pivoted, between the positions via the lever element, in particular via the lever element and the second lever element. In other words, at least one torque for adjusting, in particular pivoting, the support device between the positions can be provided by means of the electric machine, in particular via an output shaft of the electric machine. This means that, for example, the lever element can be pivoted between the lever positions by means of the electric machine, whereby the support device can be adjusted, in particular pivoted, between the positions. As a result, the support device can be pivoted with particularly little effort, which can, for example, particularly increase the comfort of the motor vehicle.

[0042] Further advantages, features, and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments and from the drawings. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures, can be used not only in the respective specified combinations, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0044] In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

[0045] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an arrangement 1 of a support device 2 for an optical output device 3 on a component 4 of the interior of a motor vehicle. The support device 2 is preferably part of the optical output device 3. The optical output device 3 has, for example, at least one screen 5.

[0046] The support device 2 and / or the component 4 are, for example, part of a center console 6 of the motor vehicle or are arranged on the center console 6, in particular at least indirectly or directly. Thus, the support device 2, and in particular the optical output device 3, are provided, for example, for the center console 6 of the motor vehicle. For example, the component 4 is a support device of the center console 6, particularly referred to as a support device. Therefore, the component 4 is designed, for example, as a frame segment of the center console 6.

[0047] Fig. Figure 2 shows the arrangement 1 in a schematic partial sectional view. The support device 2 is guided by at least one bearing device 7 between at least two positions 8, 9 relative to the component 4 and is held pivotably about a pivot axis 10 on the component 4. In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the carrier device 2, and thus in particular the optical output device 3, is in a first of the positions 8, which can in particular be referred to as the unfolded or extended position.

[0048] Fig. 3 shows the arrangement 1 in a schematic perspective view, wherein the carrier device 2, and thus in particular the optical output device 3, is in Fig. 3 is in the second position 9. Fig. 4 shows the arrangement 1 in a schematic partial sectional view, wherein the carrier device 2, and thus in particular the optical output device 3, is in Fig. 4 is in the second position 9. In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the carrier device 2, and thus in particular the optical output device 3, is in the second position 9.

[0049] The support device 7 has at least one lever element 14 that can be pivoted about a lever axis 13 relative to the component 4 between at least two lever positions 11, 12. The lever element 14 is preferably pivotable about the lever axis 13 between the lever positions 11, 12, in particular at least indirectly or directly, held on the component 4. In Fig. 2, the lever element is in a first of the lever positions 11. In Fig. 4, the lever element 14 is in a second of the lever positions 12. The lever element 14 is pivotable into the first lever position 11 for pivoting the carrier device 2, and thus in particular for pivoting the optical output device 3, into the first position 8 and into the second lever position 12 for pivoting the carrier device 2, and thus in particular the optical output device 3, into the second position 9. In Fig. 4, the lever element 14 is in the second lever position 12.

[0050] In order to be able to particularly improve the accident behavior of the motor vehicle, and in particular to be able to particularly increase safety against damage to the optical output device 3 or the carrier device 2, it is provided that the lever element 14 located in the first lever position 11 can be acted upon, in particular in a targeted manner, by a stop region 15 of the carrier device 2 in the event of an accident-related deformation of the carrier device 2, whereby the lever element 14 can be pivoted from the first lever position 11 into the second lever position 12 in order to pivot the carrier device 2, and thus in particular the optical output device 3, from the first position 8 into the second position 9.This can, for example, provide overload protection for the support device 2 and / or the optical output device 3 and / or the mounting device 7, particularly with regard to a toggle lever function of the lever element 14, which is designed, for example, as part of a toggle lever arrangement. This can, for example, allow the kinematics of the mounting device 7, referred to in particular as display kinematics, to remain intact in the event of a motor vehicle accident and, in particular, not be destroyed by an impact of a vehicle occupant and / or an airbag on the optical output device 3 or the support device 2.

[0051] Fig. 5 shows a schematic detailed view A of the arrangement 1, in particular to illustrate the stop area 15. In Fig. 5, the carrier device 2 is in the first position 8 and the lever element 14 is in the first lever position 11.

[0052] In the exemplary embodiment, the stop region 15 protrudes from a wall 16 of the support device 2 and adjoins the wall 16, in particular at least indirectly or directly. The stop region 15 is ramp-shaped.

[0053] The lever element 14 has a stop surface 17 corresponding to the stop region 15, via which the stop region 15 is supported when the lever element 14 is acted upon, in particular directly. The stop surface 17 is, for example, part of a stop element 18, which is arranged, for example, on a base body 19 of the lever element 14, in particular directly. The stop element 18 and the base body 19 are, for example, formed separately from one another or formed integrally together. The stop surface 17 or the stop element 18 is, for example, ramp-shaped, whereby the stop element 18 can in particular be referred to as a crash ramp. The stop surface 17 is arranged at one end of the lever element 14 that is opposite the first lever axis 13, i.e., a bearing point of the lever element 14 on the component.

[0054] In Fig. 5, the support device 2 is shown in its undeformed state 20. This means that the support device 2 is not deformed due to an accident and thus, for example, has its intended, in particular original, shape during manufacture of the support device 2. It is provided that the stop region 15 and the stop surface 17 are spaced apart from one another in the undeformed state 20 of the support device 2.

[0055] Fig. 6 shows the detailed view A of the arrangement 1, in particular the accident-related, deformed state 21 of the support device 2. This means that the accident-related deformation of the support device 2 has taken place, as a result of which the support device 2 has moved or deformed from the undeformed state 20 into the deformed state 21.

[0056] For example, in the event of a motor vehicle accident, the deformation of the support device 2 caused by the accident causes the stop region 15 to move onto the stop surface 17 of the lever element 14, which is designed in particular as a crash ramp. As a result, in the event of a crash, the support device 2 presses, for example via the stop region 15, onto the stop surface 17, in particular onto a ramp, of the lever element 14. This allows the lever element 14 to be pivoted out of the first lever position 11. The first lever position 11 is, for example, a TDC position, which can be understood in particular as top dead center. For example, after pivoting by, for example, four to seven degrees from the first lever position 11, the lever element disengages from its stable position, whereby the lever element 14 can, for example, slide out of its TDC position.As a result, the lever element 14 is moved into the second lever position 12, which is, for example, a BDC position, which can be understood in particular as a bottom dead center of the lever element 14. As a result, the display kinematics collapse, i.e., the support device 2 is moved into the second position 9. In particular, the application of the support device 2 via the stop area 15 to the lever element 14, in particular to its stop surface 17, constitutes an intentional collision of respective surfaces of the support device 2 or the lever element 14.

[0057] In Fig. 7 shows a schematic and perspective detailed view of the arrangement 1, in which the loading of the lever element 14 by the carrier device 2 is illustrated. In the Fig. In the illustration shown in Figure 7, the stop region 15 and the stop surface 17 are still spaced apart from one another. Due to the accident-related deformation of the support device 2, a force F1, in particular an accident-related or deformation-related force, can act on the stop region 15. When the distance between the stop region 15 and the stop surface 17 is overcome as a result of the accident-related deformation of the support device 2, i.e., when the stop region 15 and the stop surface 17 are in direct contact, the force F1 can be directly transferred from the stop region 15 to the stop surface 17, which can result in a force F2 acting on the stop surface 17 or the stop element 18, the lever element 14.

[0058] As a result of the force F2, the lever element 14 can be pivoted from the first lever position 11 into the second lever position 12, whereby the carrier device 2 can be pivoted from the first position 8 into the second position 9.

[0059] For example, a force to be applied, in particular the force F1, in order to deform the carrier device 2 such that the stop region 15 directly touches the lever element 14, in particular the stop surface 17, and in order to pivot the lever element 14 from the first lever position 11 into the second lever position 12, is approximately 750 Newton.

[0060] Overall, it can be seen that, for example, by means of the wedge effect of respective ramp geometries attached both to the support device 2 and to the lever element 14, the lever element 14 can be moved from a top dead center position, whereby the support device 2, in particular the optical output device 3, can fold into the second position 9, which can in particular be referred to as the closed position.

[0061] Fig. 8 shows the detailed view A, where Fig. 8, the lever element 14 is in the second lever position 12. In particular, the carrier device 2 is thus in the second position 9.

[0062] The bearing device 7 has a second lever element 25 that can be pivoted about a second lever axis 22 relative to the lever element, in particular between at least two lever positions 23, 24, via which the support device 2 is coupled to the lever element 14. The second lever element 25 is connected to the support device 2 via a third lever axis 26. The lever element 14 can in particular be referred to as the first lever element. The lever axis 13 can in particular be referred to as the first lever axis.

[0063] The lever elements 14, 25 are pivotable relative to each other and directly connected to each other, so that together they form a toggle lever arrangement. Fig. 2, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the second lever element 25 is in a first of the lever positions 23. In Fig. 4 and Fig. 8, the second lever element 25 is in the second of the lever positions 24.

[0064] For example, when the lever element 14 is pivoted, in particular from the second lever position 12, into the first lever position 11, the second lever element 25 is pivoted, in particular from the second lever position 24, into the first lever position 23. Thus, for example, by pivoting the first lever element 14 into the first lever position 11, the second lever element 25 can be pivoted into its first lever position 23. For example, when the first lever element 14 is pivoted, in particular from the first lever position 11, into the second lever position 12, the second lever element 25 is pivoted, in particular from its first lever position 23, into its second lever position 24. Thus, for example, by pivoting the first lever element 14 into its second lever position 12, the second lever element 25 can be pivoted into its second lever position 24.

[0065] As mentioned, the second lever element 25 is pivotable relative to the support device 2 about a third lever axis 26 spaced apart from the lever axes 13, 22. The third lever element 25 is directly connected to the support device 2 at the third lever axis 26 and is pivotable relative to the support device 2.

[0066] Overall, it can be seen that when the lever elements 14, 25 are in their respective first lever positions 11, 23, the support device 2 is in the first position 8. Furthermore, the support device 2 is in the second position 9 when the lever elements 14, 25 are in their respective second lever positions 12, 24. Thus, the support device 2 can be pivoted between the positions 8, 9 by pivoting the lever elements 14, 25.

[0067] In the second position 9, the support device 2 is secured against unintentional pivoting of the support device 2 from the second position 9, in particular into the first position 8. In other words, a self-locking mechanism of the support device 2 or of the bearing device 7 is provided to prevent unintentional pivoting of the support device 2 from the second position 9. The respective second lever position 12, 24 is a particularly stable position, which is, for example, a bottom dead center position, whereby the support device 2, brought into the second position 9, i.e., in the retracted position, can remain there, in particular particularly securely, due in particular to the bottom dead center position of the lever elements 14, 25 relative to one another. As a result, the support device 2 can lock in the retracted position, thereby preventing a rebound effect.For example, the lever elements 14, 25 form a very stable position in their respective first lever positions 11, 23, particularly in the TDC position. This is achieved by the three lever axes 13, 22, 26 each lying on a straight line in the TDC and BDC positions, with the second lever axis 22 being arranged between the first and third lever axes 13, 26 in the TDC position, and the first lever axis 13 being arranged between the second and third lever axes 22, 26 in the BDC position. The lever elements 14, 25 each form a locking mechanism that counteracts a pivoting movement about the pivot axis 10. Thus, the support device 2 cannot be moved in the first position 8 by pressure on the screen 5 in the direction of the second position 9, and conversely, cannot be moved by pulling on the screen 5 from the second position 9 towards the first position 8. This is advantageous regardless of an accident situation.As described, a stable condition is achieved when the BDC position is reached, especially in the event of an accident.

[0068] In order to move the carrier device 2 systematically between the BDC and TDC positions, an electric machine 27 is provided, by means of which the carrier device 2 can be pivoted between the positions 8, 9 via the lever element 14, in particular via the lever elements 14, 25. In other words, the first lever element 14 can be driven by the electric machine 27, in particular to pivot the carrier device 2 between the positions 8, 9. Thus, the pivoting of the first lever element 14 can be effected by means of the electric machine 27.

[0069] For example, at least one transmission element 28, particularly referred to as a gear, is provided, via which the electric machine 27, in particular an output shaft of the electric machine 27, can be coupled or is coupled to the first lever element 14 in a torque-transmitting manner. The transmission element 28 has two wheels 29, 30, which are particularly designed as spur gears or gearwheels. A second of the wheels 30 is part of the first lever element 14, whereby the first lever element 14 is designed as a gear lever. The transmission element 28, in the exemplary embodiment the first wheel 29, can be part of the electric machine 27 or can be designed separately from the electric machine 27. In particular, the first lever element 14 can be driven by means of the electric machine 27 via the transmission element 28.

[0070] To protect the support device 2 from damage, it may be provided, for example, to reinforce the support device 2, particularly locally. Such reinforcement can be achieved, for example, by ribbing and / or by increasing the wall thickness of the support device 2. Such ribbing, which can in particular be referred to as a rib stack, can be arranged, for example, in a base region of the support device 2.

[0071] Alternatively or additionally, for example, a support for the pivot axis 10 can be provided on the support device 2. Alternatively or additionally, for example, a metal reinforcement of the support device 2 can be provided and / or a radius of a chrome tip of a chrome strip, which can be arranged on the support device 2, can be particularly increased or flattened.
