Abstract: A hinge device is provided for a front hood of a motor vehicle. The front hood can be opened and closed by way of the hinge device, and the front hood can be adjusted from a normal position into a protective position in the event of a collision. The hinge device has a single front hood control link and a force introducing element which are connected in a rotatable manner relative to each other. The front hood control link and the force introducing element are arranged relative to each other in the protective position such that a first connection line from the first to the second rotational point and a second connection line from the first to the third rotational point form an angle which ranges from 150 degrees to 180 degrees in order to minimize vibrations of the front hood produced by the movement from the normal position into the protective position.

Abstract: A locking arrangement for a vehicle includes at least two locks for locking a flap or cover, in particular a single flap or cover, of the vehicle, and an opening device with an actuating device, in particular a single actuating device, for unlocking the two locks. The opening device is designed.

Abstract: A door drive for a motor vehicle door has a lever element which can be mounted on the body work side of the motor vehicle and which can be connected to an adjustable drive element of a drive device arranged on the motor vehicle door. The adjustable drive element is designed as a rocker element which can be mounted about a bearing axis and which includes a first lever arm by which the rocker element is at least indirectly connected to an actuator of the drive device, and also includes a second lever element by which the rocker element is connected at least indirectly to the lever element.

Abstract: A vehicle includes at least one vehicle door or vehicle flap which forms a first body, a vehicle bodyshell which forms a second body, and an impact damper arrangement. The impact damper arrangement is configured such that, when the vehicle door or vehicle flap moves toward the vehicle bodyshell, a first movement section is passed through first, and then a second movement section is passed through. The first movement section is arranged such that movement along the first movement section comes to an end when a lock and closing element come into contact with one another.

Abstract: The trunk cover of an automobile is mounted via two four-joint hinges, positioned a certain distance from one another, such that it can pivot. Each of the four-joint hinges has a receptacle component, fixed to the vehicle body, to which first and second pivoted levers are mounted such that they can pivot. A bearing component, to which the trunk cover is fastened, is linked to the opposite end sections of the hinges. Further, a receptacle pin, which supports a leg spring, is fastened to the receptacle component. This spring includes a first spring leg attached to the receptacle pin such that it cannot rotate and a second, prestressed spring leg which lies adjacent to a tensioning pin of the second pivoting lever. Immediately after the trunk cover has been opened, an open end of the cover, which faces the vehicle body, is shifted upward.
