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. This also has the advantage that persons sitting in the vehicle are less exposed to the outside temperature during the opening process. In addition, the cargo space can be opened easily in lower rooms.
• 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 into which a flat member dips, simultaneously a second cam is 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.
• This is achieved by means of a separate driver or lever, which is connected to the locking element. This is gripped by an actuator, locked in an intermediate position and then rotated, the locking element is opened only with the rotational movement.
• WO 2007/062635 also proposes a variant with a longitudinally displaceable plunger, wherein this plunger is moved indirectly via the driver or a pin.
• the present invention seeks to provide a split, in particular two-part, tailgate with locking devices for a first and second open position, which work effectively and effectively with low component cost.
• the basic idea of the invention is that the locking devices are associated with an elongate locking element which, in contrast to WO 2007/062635 A2, has no driver in the form of a pin.
• the locking element causes at least the lock between the body and the upper tailgate part immediately. In this way, components can be saved.
• the locking is possible with a simply designed and manufactured locking element.
• the locking element can be moved in a variety of ways. According to a first variant, it is moved laterally, in particular substantially along the vehicle transverse axis (y-axis), here in particular horizontally. According to a second variant, it is moved from top to bottom and back, in particular substantially along the vehicle vertical axis (z-axis), in particular vertically.
• the invention also includes oblique movements to the side and between an upper and lower position.
• the locking element can be moved to an intermediate position in which it is both part of the first and second locking means and both activated.
• this intermediate position is on the way from the first to the second end position.
• the actuator is not limited to an electric motor drive.
• the invention encompasses all drives, for example also pneumatic or mechanical drives.
