Abstract

Bei einer Heckklappenanlenkung für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einer einen im wesentlichen den gesamten Bereich der Heckfläche eines als Kombifahrzeug ausgebildeten Kraftfahrzeuges übergreifenden heckseitigen Karosserieausschnitt freigebenden bzw. verschließenden, oberendig um eine quer zur Fahrtrichtung gerichtete Schwenkachse nach oben öffenbar am Dach des Kraftfahrzeuges angelenkten Heckklappe (3), wobei die Heckklappe vermittels wenigstens eines aus einer feststehenden (4) und einer beweglichen Gelenkhälfte (5) bestehenden Schwenkgelenkes um eine zum Öffnungsrand des heckseitigen Karosserieausschnittes parallele Achse schwenkbar am Fahrzeugdach angelenkt ist und mindestens über einen gewissen Öffnungswinkel hin durch eine vorspannbare Federlast in Öffnungsrichtung beaufschlagt oder wenigstens gewichtskompensiert ist, wird vorgeschlagen, daß mit wenigstens einem der Schwenkgelenke der Heckklappenanlenkung eine durch eine Rastierung (11,13) gebildete Haltevorrichtung zum Halten der Heckklappe in mindestens einer vorgegebenen Teilöffnungslage baulich vereinigt ist. In the case of a tailgate linkage for motor vehicles with a rear-side body cut-out which releases or closes a substantially the entire area of the rear surface of a motor vehicle designed as a combination vehicle, and which can be opened at the top by a swivel axis directed transversely to the direction of travel and is articulated on the roof of the motor vehicle, 3 the tailgate is articulated on the vehicle roof by means of at least one swivel joint consisting of a fixed (4) and a movable joint half (5) about an axis parallel to the opening edge of the rear body cutout and is at least acted upon by a prestressable spring load in the opening direction or at least over a certain opening angle is weight-compensated, it is proposed that with at least one of the swivel joints of the tailgate linkage a holding device formed by a catch (11, 13) for holding the Tailgate is structurally combined in at least one predetermined partial opening position.
