AI Technical Summary
Existing cover devices require complex constructions and multiple parts to synchronize the opening movement of cover parts, leading to increased costs and assembly efforts.
A cover device with a loading device that synchronizes the opening movement of two cover parts using a single energy store, such as a tension spring, connected to both parts, and a damping device to control the speed of movement, eliminating the need for separate dampers and reducing assembly complexity.
The solution provides synchronized and uniform opening movement of cover parts with reduced parts and assembly effort, utilizing a common damping device for both parts, thereby lowering production costs and ensuring smooth operation.

Abstract
Claims
[1] Lid device (10) with a first lid unit with a first lid part (12a) and with a second lid unit with a second lid part (12b), wherein each lid part (12a, 12b) is pivotable on a base (11) about a pivot axis (a1, a2) between an open position and a closed position, wherein a first pivot axis (a1) of the first lid part (12a) and a second pivot axis (a2) of the second lid part (12b) are arranged opposite one another with respect to an opening (40) of the base (11), wherein each lid part (12a, 12b) is loaded into the open position by at least one loading device (17), both lid parts (12a, 12b) are connected to one another directly or indirectly by means of the loading device (17), which exerts a force on both lid parts (12a, 12b), characterized byin that the loading device (17) is fastened to a lever arm (23) of a lever (22a, 22b), and the lever arm (23) is positioned such that a force effective for the torque of the lever (22a, 22b) is greater in the closed position than in the open position. [2] Lid device (10) according to claim 1, characterized by that the movement of each cover part (12a, 12b) is damped by a separate damping device (16) or is damped by a common damping device (16) to which both cover parts (12a and 12b) are connected. [3] Cover device (10) according to one of claims 1 or 2, characterized by that the loading device (17) comprises at least one energy storage device, in particular at least one tension spring (25) or at least one compression spring. [4] Lid device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat a first end region (24a) of the loading device (17) is directly or indirectly fastened to the first cover part (12a) and a second end region (24b) is fastened to the second cover part (12b). [5] Lid device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the loading device (17) and / or the damping device (16) cooperates with at least one gear (18a, 18b) and that the first cover part (12a) and the second cover part (12b) are components of the gear (18a, 18b). [6] Lid device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by in that the first cover unit comprises a first gear (18a) and the second cover unit comprises a second gear (18b), wherein the loading device (17) is connected to the first gear (18a) and to the second gear (18b). [7] Lid device according to one of claims 5 or 6, characterized bythat the gear (18a, 18b) is at least partially designed as a gear transmission, wherein at least one tooth structure (19) of the gear (18a, 18b) engages with a toothing of the cover part (12a, 12b). [8] Lid device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the loading device (17) is attached to a lever arm (23) of a multi-armed lever (22a, 22b). [9] Cover device according to one of the preceding claims, as far as it refers back to claim 2, characterized by in that a first rod (27a) is connected directly or indirectly to the first cover part (12a) and a second rod (27b) is connected to the second cover part (12b), wherein during the movement of the cover parts (12a, 12b) between the closed position and the open position a relative movement of the first rod (27a) to the second rod (27b) takes place, wherein the relative movement actuates the damping device (16). [10] Lid device according to claim 9, characterized by that one of the rods (27a, 27b) has first actuating means and the other rod (27a, 27b) has second actuating means which cooperate with the first actuating means, wherein the first actuating means and the second actuating means cooperate with a damper (28) of the damping device (16). [11] Lid device according to one of claims 9 or 10, characterized by that the first rod (27a) comprises first guide means and the second rod (27b) comprises second guide means, wherein the first guide means and second guide means cooperate to guide the rods (27a and 27b) to one another. [12] Cover device according to one of claims 9 to 11, as far as it refers back to claim 8 and to claim 6, characterized bythat the first rod (27a) is articulated to a lever arm (36) of the multi-armed lever (22a) of the first gear (18a) and the second rod (27b) is articulated to a lever arm (36) of the multi-armed lever (22b) of the second gear (18b).
