Abstract: A drive device for a pivotable vehicle flap includes a flap part associated with the vehicle flap, a body part associated with a vehicle body and a hinge arrangement which hingedly connects the flap part and the body part, the hinge arrangement allowing the flap part to be pivoted about a first axis of rotation for opening and closing the vehicle flap and about a second axis of rotation for raising the vehicle flap into a pedestrian protection position. The device drive also includes a first actuator for opening and closing the vehicle flap during normal operation, a second actuator for raising the vehicle flap into a pedestrian protection position and a coupling device for coupling the first actuator to one of the flap part and the vehicle flap. The coupling device includes a fastening part and a first coupling element coupled to the first actuator.

Abstract: A hinge assembly is provided to lift a hood of a vehicle relative to a vehicle body in anticipation of, during, or right after a collision has occurred to cushion contact with a pedestrian. The hood selectively covers a compartment of the vehicle when in a secured position. The hinge assembly includes a hinge configured to guide the hood from the secured position to both of an open position or to a pedestrian deployment position relative to the vehicle body. An actuator moves the hood from the secured position to the pedestrian deployment position. A controller controls the actuator based at least in part on a characteristic of the pedestrian.

Abstract: A hood lifting actuator according to various implementations includes a piston, a locking ring, and a housing including a protrusion. The housing further includes a distal end, the distal end defining a distal end wall, wherein the locking ring is retained between the distal end wall and the protrusion prior to actuation of the actuator. The piston travels from a retracted position to an extended position. In the extended position, the hood lifting actuator lifts a portion of a vehicle hood into an elevated position. In response to a force urging the piston from the extended position toward the retracted position, such as a person impacting the portion of the vehicle hood, the locking ring engages the protrusion and the piston, thereby locking the piston in a locked position.

Abstract: A deployable flap hinge includes a flap part (2) corresponding to a flap (A). The flap part (2) has a flap upper part (4) and a flap lower part (5), a body part (3) corresponding to a vehicle body (B), a first joint assembly (6) connecting the flap part (2) and the body part (3) in an articulated manner, and a second joint assembly (7) connecting the flap upper part (4) and the flap lower part (5) to one another in an articulated manner. The flap upper part (4) can be swivelled relative to the flap lower part (5) between a resting position and a deployed position. The deployable flap hinge also includes a locking assembly (40) for locking the deploying movement of the flap upper part (4), and a pretensioning device (10) for pretensioning the flap upper part (4) in the direction of the deployed position. The pretensioning device (10) includes a pretensioning element (11) formed as a single piece from a part of the flap hinge (1).

Abstract: A drive arrangement for adjusting a front hood of a motor vehicle including a first drivetrain for producing a first drive movement between a flap-side drive connection and a body-side drive connection and when the first drivetrain is in a normal state the first drive movement opens the flap from a closed position to an open position. A second drivetrain for producing a second drive movement between a flap-side drive connection and a body-side drive connection to open the flap from the closed position to a collision position so that by means of the second drive movement of the second drive the first drivetrain changes from a normal state to a bypass state, in which a first strand component of the first drivetrain moves relative to a second strand component of the first drivetrain.

Abstract: Technology is provided which allows the amount of a hood protruding forward from a striker to be reduced at a normal time before the pop-up hood system is operated, and allowing the stroke when the front end of the hood rotates downward when the pop-up hood system is operated to be reduced, such that it is possible to effectively utilize the space. A hood retraction structure includes: a slider provided at a front side lower portion of a hood; and a rail that is provided on an upper portion of a striker body constituting a hood locking mechanism, movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the slider, and is longer than the slider in a length in the longitudinal direction. Retraction of the slider relative to the rail allows the hood to retract relative to the hood locking mechanism.
