Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a support device, in particular for a vehicle flap, comprising a housing (2) which can be connected between the vehicle flap and the vehicle body and which comprises at least one first housing part (3) and a second housing part (4) said the first housing part (3) and second housing part (4) are movable relative to each other in a telescopically guided manner. The support device also includes a spindle drive (8) which is coupled to the housing (2). The spindle drive (8) comprises a spindle rod (9) and a spindle nut (10) which is in thread engagement with the spindle rod (9), and one of the aforementioned components, i.e. the spindle rod (9) and the spindle nut (10), is rotatably arranged in the housing (2) about a spindle axis(S) and the respective other component is rotationally fixed in the housing (2). The support device also includes a first brake device (16) which is coupled to one of the aforementioned components in order to brake the rotation of the said component. The first brake device (16) can be activated by being rotated relative to the housing (2) about a central rotational axis via centrifugal forces.

Abstract: A drive device for a pivotable vehicle flap includes a flap part associated with the vehicle flap, a body part associated with a vehicle body and a hinge arrangement which hingedly connects the flap part and the body part. The hinge arrangement allows the flap part to be pivoted about a first axis of rotation for opening and closing the vehicle flap and about a second axis of rotation for raising the vehicle flap into a pedestrian protection position. The drive device further includes a first actuator for opening and closing the vehicle flap in normal operation, a second actuator for raising the vehicle flap into a pedestrian protection position and a coupling device for coupling the first actuator to one of the flap part and the vehicle flap, including a fastening part which is fixedly connected to the one of the flap part and the vehicle flap. The coupling device includes at least one first lever coupled to the first actuator. During normal operation of the coupling device, the first lever is releasably secured against rotation relative to the fastening part via a mechanical securing element.
