  • Patent number: 9506276
    Abstract: A closing device pivots on a vehicle body between a closing position and an opening position, such as a rear flap of a motor vehicle, with a closing element on the body side and an opposite closing element on the flap side for locking and unlocking the flap and with at least one ejection element. A plunger can be moved in a guide at least between a working position and a rest position, which upon movement into a working position can be tensioned against the force of a tensioning device. The plunger interacts with the flap for the manual opening and closing through the at least partial relaxing of the plunger. The plunger is lockable and unlockable through a locking device in a locking position in which it is tensioned at least as far as to the working position.

  • Publication number: 20120175895
    Abstract: A closing device is provided for a flap pivotably articulated on a vehicle body between a closing position and an opening position. A closing element is provided on the body side and an opposite closing element on a flap side for locking and unlocking the flap and with an ejection element. A plunger moves in a guide at least between a working position and a rest position, which upon movement into the working position is tensioned against the force of a tensioning device. The plunger interacts with the flap so that by closing the flap brought into the working position and brought from the closing position into an actuation position for manual opening and closing through partial relaxing of the plunger. The plunger is lockable and unlockable through a locking device in a locking position tensioned at least as far as to the working position.
