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: An actuating device for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle includes a housing, a rotatable plunger, a spring that preloads the plunger into a discharge position, and an actuating sleeve into which the plunger can be introduced. At least one actuating groove extends helically around the longitudinal axis of the actuating sleeve and is formed on the inside of the sleeve. At least one actuating projection of the plunger engages into the actuating groove when the plunger is introduced into the actuating sleeve causing the plunger to rotate about its longitudinal axis during an axial relative movement between the actuating sleeve and the plunger. A blocking device blocks plunger movement into the discharge position to hold the plunger in a locked position. A spring element preloads the blocking device into a blocking position, and an actuator disengages the blocking device from the blocking position.
