Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung zum selbsttätigen Öffnen einer um eine horizontale Schwenkachse (5) schwenkbaren Kraftfahrzeug-Heckklappe (2) enthält eine derart ausgelegt Gasfeder-Auswerfer-Kombination, daß die Gasfeder (8) auf die Klappe (2) im geschlossenen bis zu einem teilgeöffneten Zustand ein Schließmoment, darüber ein die Klappe (2) voll öffnendes Öffnungsmoment ausübt, während der Auswerfer (9) nur zum Verschwenken der Klappe (2) etwas über den teilgeöffneten Zustand hinaus ausgelegt ist. Dadurch sind der Energiebedarf des Auswerfers (9) minimal und hohe Reibkräfte im Klappenschloß (6) vermieden.
