Drive arrangement for activating the hatch of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. Drive arrangement for actuating the hatch of a motor vehicle that is coupled to the body of the motor vehicle to pivot around a hatch axis for opening and closing a hatch opening of the body, the drive arrangement comprising at least one drive with:
- a drive motor and a gearing connected on an output side of the drive motor for producing drive motions and movement of the hatch between an open position and a closed position, the gearing having an actuating element which is pivotable around an axis of the actuating element and having a push rod which is coupled to the actuating element with an offset with respect to the axis of the actuating element at one end and is adapted to be offset coupled at a second end to one of the hatch and the body relative to the hatch axis in an installed state, wherein the actuating element axis is adapted to be arranged essentially perpendicular to the hatch axis in an installed state.

Abstract
A drive arrangement that is an economical structure that makes optimum use of existing installation space is achieved by a drive arrangement, for actuating the hatch of a motor vehicle that is coupled to the body of the motor vehicle to pivot around a hatch axis opening and closing a hatch opening of the body, of the type having a drive motor and a gearing connected on an output side of the drive motor for producing drive motions and movement of the hatch between an open position and a closed position, the gearing having an actuating element which is pivotable around axis of the actuating element and having a push rod which is coupled to the actuating element with an offset respect to the axis of the actuating element, in which the actuating element axis is arranged essentially perpendicular to the hatch axis.

18. Hatch arrangement of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a hatch opening in a body of the motor vehicle, a hatch, the hatch being pivotably coupled to the body to pivot around a hatch axis for movement between a closed position in which the hatch opening is closed and an open position in which the hatch opening is opened, and a drive arrangement for operating the hatch of the motor vehicle, the drive arrangement having at least one drive with a drive motor and with a gearing connected on an output side of the motor to produce drive motions and movement of the hatch between the open position and the closed position, the gearing having an actuating element that is pivotable around the actuating element axis and a push rod, the push rod being coupled at one end to the actuating element with an offset with respect to the axis of the actuating element and at a second end being coupled to one of the hatch and the body with an offset relative to the hatch axis, wherein the actuating element axis is aligned essentially perpendicular to the hatch axis. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
