  • Actuating means for a flap in motor vehicles
    Patent number: 4871954
    Abstract: An actuating mechanism for a flap in motor vehicles which, by means of an electric step motor, adjusts the flap between two end positions determined by limit stops to selectable intermediate positions corresponding to a regulating command. In order to compensate step losses, the regulating command, when the flap is adjusted in one end position, corresponds to an adjustment that exceeds the magnitude of the command this end position.
