DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MOVABLY FASTENING A VEHICLE SYSTEM TO A PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A device for movably fastening a vehicle system to a primary structure of a vehicle, comprising:
- a drive unit to provide a rotatory movement of a drive element with respect to the primary structure;
a first supporting element coupled in a rotary manner to the drive element via a first rotation axis;
wherein the first supporting element is mounted in a rotary manner with respect to the primary structure of the vehicle via a second rotation axis;
a second supporting element coupled in a rotary manner to the first supporting element;
a first connecting element mounted in a rotary manner with respect to the primary structure of the vehicle via a third rotation axis;
wherein the first connecting element is coupled in a rotary manner to the second supporting element via a fourth rotation axis;
wherein the second supporting element is coupled in a rotary manner to the first supporting element via a fifth rotation axis, which is spaced apart from the fourth rotation axis such that during a movement of the first supporting element about the second rotation axis, the first supporting element is movable with a rotational speed which differs from a rotational speed of the second supporting element.

Abstract
A device to fasten a system to a structure of a vehicle includes a drive unit that provides rotary movement of a drive element relative to the structure. The device has first and second supporting elements. The first supporting element is rotatably coupled to the drive element via a first rotation axis, and is rotatably mounted to the structure via a second rotation axis. The second supporting element is rotatably coupled to the first supporting element, and a first connecting element, which is rotatably mounted to the structure via a third rotation axis. The first connecting element is rotatably coupled to the second supporting element via a fourth rotation axis. The second supporting element is rotatably coupled to the first supporting element via a fifth rotation axis. During movement, the first supporting element has a different rotational speed than the second supporting element.

13. A method for movably fastening a vehicle system to a primary structure of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a rotary fastening of a drive element with respect to the primary structure of the vehicle; coupling a first supporting element to the drive element in a rotary manner via a first rotation axis; mounting the first supporting element in a rotary manner with respect to the primary structure of the vehicle via a second rotation axis; coupling a second supporting element to the first supporting element in a rotary manner; mounting a first connecting element in a rotary manner with respect to the primary structure of the vehicle via a third rotation axis; coupling the first connecting element to the second supporting element in a rotary manner via a fourth rotation axis; coupling the second supporting element to the first supporting element in a rotary manner via a fifth rotation axis, which is spaced apart from the fourth rotation axis, such that during a movement of the first supporting element about the second rotation axis, the first supporting element is movable with a rotational speed which differs from a rotational speed of the second supporting element.
