Definitions
- the invention relates to a divided, in particular two-part, tailgate according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such two-part tailgates are known, for example, from EP 0 718 134 A1 and DE 44 00 374 A1.
- Such tailgates consist of an upper part, which is pivotally mounted on the body, and a lower part, which in turn is pivotally mounted on the lower edge of the upper part.
- Vehicles with such two-part tailgates have a high loading variability. With the large flap open, large and bulky objects can be admitted into the hold. If only a few or small items are to be invited, optionally only the lower part of the tailgate can be opened.
- a tailgate is also known.
- a connection of the upper part of the tailgate with the body in a first open position and the other is a connection of the upper and the lower part of the tailgate in a second open position.
- a first cam which is fixed to the body, with a locking element, ie a bolt on the upper part in engagement.
- the lower part of the tailgate is unlocked and can be swiveled without the upper part of the tailgate.
- this cam is moved out of the locked position.
- a coupling member here in the form of a mitbewegten depression, in which a flat member dips
- a second cam is simultaneously moved, which fixes the swivel bracket to which the lower part of the tailgate is attached.
- the lower part of the tailgate is connected to the upper part, so that an opening movement of the entire tailgate can take place.
- WO 2007/062635 proposes a locking unit for a two-part tailgate, with which it is ensured that the decoupling of the lower part from the upper part of the tailgate is only canceled if already a locking of the upper part of the tailgate to the body took place in an intermediate position. In this way, a simultaneous release of the upper part of the tailgate from the lower part of the flap and the body is prevented.
- the present invention seeks to provide a split, in particular two-part, tailgate with locking devices for a first and second open position, working effectively and effectively and have a high space variability.
- the tailgate comprises a control lever. This is on the one hand, the locking element of the first locking device. On the other hand, it controls a lever system that is part of the second locking device. Due to the lever system, which may comprise a plurality of levers, a greater distance between the upper and lower tailgate part, in particular a frame or bracket of the upper part and the swivel bracket, can be overcome.
- the lever system can be adapted to different installation spaces.
- the control lever fulfills two functions. To lock the first locking device he and thus the frame is pressed against a body pin. In a second position, he causes via the control of the lever system, a locking of the swivel bracket and thus the second lock. For this purpose, an end of the lever system engages in the swivel bracket.
- the actuator is not limited to an electric motor drive.
- the invention encompasses all drives, for example also pneumatic or mechanical drives.

- Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of Figure 1 in a spatial Dagna.
- Fig. 5 shows the rear of a vehicle with closed inventive
- Fig. 6 shows the rear of the vehicle with the lower part of the tailgate open, i. the boot lid, (first opening position);
- Fig. 7 the rear of the vehicle with open lower and upper part of
- Tailgate i. the entire tailgate, (second opening position).
- the entire tailgate 37 includes a first, upper part 38 which is pivotable on an axle 39 on the body 5 via a first suspension 40 is arranged, and a second, lower part 7 which is pivotally mounted on a second axis 41 by means of a second suspension 42. Between the body 5 and the upper part 38, a pair of first gas struts 43 and between the upper 38 and lower part 7, a pair of second gas struts 44 are arranged.
- the upper tailgate part has a glazing 45.
- the tailgate 37 can be pivoted into a first (FIG. 6) and a second open position (FIG. 7).
- first open position the upper part 38 is fastened to the body 5 by means of a first locking device, while the lower part 7 of the flap or the trunk lid can be pivoted by means of a pivoting bracket 8, which forms the suspension 42.
- actuating button 46 on a button strip above the license plate see Detailfig. To Fig. 5
- the lower part 7 of the tailgate or a lower lock 47 is released from a bracket 48 at a threshold of the cargo space, so that this part can swing the flap.
- a second locking device is activated via actuation of a second button 49, while the lock between the upper part 38 of the flap and the body 5 is released.
- FIG. 2 Reference is first made to FIG. 2.
- the upper part of the tailgate has a frame 1 or a console on which a control lever 2 is pivotally mounted.
- the frame 1 is located at the end of a wedge-shaped incision 3 on a pin 4 which is fixedly secured to the body 5 (not shown).
- the control lever 2 is connected via a lever system 6 in operative connection with the lower tailgate part 7, here the swivel bracket 8.
- the control lever 2 consists of an approximately triangular head element 9 and an elongate operating portion 10.
- the control lever 2 is connected via a pivot axis 11 on the head element 9 pivotally mounted on the frame 1. Above the pivot bearing 11, it has a groove 12 in the form of a circular segment, which extends from the edge of the head element to approximately above the pivot bearing.
- a pin 13 is movable, which is fixed to a first lever portion 14 of the lever system 6.
- the actuating portion 10 has a first engagement point 15, to which a spring 16 engages, which is arranged on a bolt 16a (see Fig. 1).
- This spring 16 fulfills a protective function. It prevents the control lever in the neutral position unintentionally pivoted down and the second locking device is activated.
- a second point 17 comes with an actuator 18 (not shown or indicated by arrows) in engagement.
- This is in particular an electric motor 19, which is arranged on the frame 1.
- the operating portion 10 further comes into contact with a pin 20, which is also mounted on the first lever portion 14.
- This is connected to a second lever portion 21, on which an intermediate lever 22 is arranged.
- the pivot point 23 of the intermediate lever 22 is also attached to the frame 1.
- a stop element 25 in particular a pin or bolt, is attached. At these comes the intermediate lever 22 in its pivoted position to the system (see arrow a).
- the lower end 26 of the intermediate lever 22 is connected to a third lever portion 27.
- the two ends 28, 29 of the second and third lever portions 21, 27 are connected to an end piece 30 of the lever system or first end.
- This is substantially triangular in shape and has on its facing the swivel bracket surface on the one hand a projecting nose 31 and on the other a projection 32.
- the nose 31 is formed so that it can engage with a corresponding bracket 33 on the swivel bracket.
- This bracket 33 has a contour corresponding to the nose.
- the projection 32 is formed as an upwardly bent or curved lever portion. This surrounds a fixing element 34, in particular a bolt which is arranged on the underside of the swivel bracket.
- the first locking device 35 for coupling the frame 1 to the body 5 comprises the control lever 2 as a locking element and the body pin 4.
- the second locking device 36 comprises the control lever 2, the lever system 6 and the bracket 33 and the fixing element 34 on the swivel bracket 8, which engage with the nose 31 and the projection 32 of the lever system 6.
- the operation of the locking devices 35, 36 will be described below.
- the actuating device 18 or the electric motor 19 moves the control lever 2, which in turn controls or moves the lever system 6.
- the control lever 2 presses via its actuating portion 10 against the pin 20 on the first lever portion 14, which in turn acts on the second lever portion 21.
- the intermediate lever 22 is pivoted to the left in the direction of arrow a.
- the two lever portions 21, 27 act on the end piece 30 of the lever system 6, which is pivoted in the direction of arrow b down.
- the nose 31 releases from the bracket 33 on the swivel bracket 8, so that the swivel bracket 8 is released and can swing upwards.
- the stop element 25 limits the movement of the intermediate lever 22 and thus the total movement.
- the projection 32 of the end piece 30 thus remains at the level of the fixing element 34.
- the control lever 2 is pressed down (arrow d).
- the lock between the pin 4 on the body 5 and control lever 2 is released.
- the control lever 2 moves with its groove 12 along the pin 13 on the first lever portion 14.
- the control lever moves down or to the right; the pin 13 moves according to the embodiment shown to the left.
- the nose of the lever system 6 engages with the swivel bracket 8, the second locking device is active.
- the lever system 6 is locked in its entirety.
- the swivel bracket 8 is now connected via the fixed lever system 6 with the frame 1 and the console.
- the locking devices 35, 36 could be controlled such that in the neutral position both a locking of the first and the second locking device is present. This has the advantage that the flap is secured in its closed position while driving.
