Abstract: Disclosure is an actuating mechanism (1) for actuating a cover or flap (2) of a vehicle. The cover or flap (2) is manually reversibly movable between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the cover or flap (2) is arranged flush with a vehicle outer shell (3), and in the open position the cover or flap (2) is arranged at least partially or regionally behind the vehicle outer shell (3). The actuating mechanism (1) includes a movement mechanism (3) operatively connected to the cover or flap (2) that, when transferring the cover or flap (2) from its closed position into its open position, first transfer the cover or flap (2) into an intermediate position in which the cover or flap (2) is located at least partially or regionally behind the vehicle outer shell (3) and then transfer the cover or flap (2) into its open position in an at least substantially and preferably purely rotational movement. According to the disclosure, it is provided in particular that the actuating mechanism (1) further includes a spring mechanism that is associated with the articulation mechanism (3) or is part of the articulation mechanism (3). The spring mechanism is configured so as to, when transferring the cover or flap (2) from its closed position into its open position or when transferring the cover or flap (2) from its open position into its closed position, apply a force component to the articulation mechanism (3) that supports the transfer of the cover or flap (2) at least into its open position or closed position.

Abstract: An actuating apparatus for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle has a blocking device for blocking the cover in a locked position. The blocking device has a transmission mechanism with a rotation part (64.1; 50) mounted rotatably and driveable by an actuator (34), and a blocking bar (62) which is operatively connected to the rotation part. The transmission mechanism converts a rotation movement of the rotation part into an axial movement of the blocking bar. The blocking bar is transferable with the aid of the rotation part from a release position into a blocking position. The transmission mechanism is self-locking so that, at least whenever the blocking bar is in the blocking position, the rotation part is not driveable via an axial movement of the blocking bar, and the rotation part prevents an axial movement of the blocking bar out of the blocking position.

Abstract: A covering device for a vehicle, includes: a cover; a drive element formed to enable a movement of the cover, wherein the drive element brings about a force which acts on the cover. The covering device has a force-limitation apparatus which limits the force brought about by the drive element to a limit force so that the covering device is protected in the event of an overload acting on the covering device and/or a user is protected when using the covering device. An actuator has a drive apparatus with a drive element; an output drive element; and a force-decoupling apparatus. The force-decoupling apparatus is formed so that it at least temporarily does not output a force taken up by the drive element or at least temporarily outputs it in a delayed manner to the output drive element.
