Drive for opening and closing a vehicle flap
First Claim
1. A flap drive for driving a rear flap of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- first and second lever joint arrangements arranged at a distance from one another and by which the flap is movable from a closing position to an opening position and back to the closing position, each of said first and second lever joint arrangements having a first side region connectable to the flap and a second side region connectable at a fixed location on the motor vehicle or a component of the motor vehicle, said each of said first and second lever joint arrangements having one end articulated pivotably about pivot axes at said first side region and another end articulated pivotably about pivot axes at said second side region, the mutually corresponding pivot axes extending coaxially to one another, said each of said first and second lever joint arrangements comprising a driven lever articulated at an articulation point at one of said pivot axes at said second side region an articulated at another articulation point at one of said pivot axes at said first side region; and
a common motive drive unit for guiding a movement transmission unit for the pivotable drive of each of said driven levers of said first and second lever joint arrangements.

Abstract
A flap drive for a flap includes two identical lever joint arrangements which are arranged in pairs at a distance from one another. The flap can be moved out of its closing position into its opening position and back by the flap drive. In this case, the lever joint arrangements are articulated pivotably with one of their ends in each case on a side region of the flap and with their other ends at a fixed location on the motor vehicle. The mutually corresponding pivot axes of the articulation points extend coaxially to one another. Movement transmission devices for the pivotable drive of a driven lever of each lever joint arrangement are guided by a common motive drive unit, the driven levers being articulated at a fixed location on the motor vehicle.
