Adjusting device for a front lid, with an actuator for raising the rear edge of the front lid, wherein the actuator has a first linear drive which enables a substantially vertical movement of the front lid and a second linear drive which enables a substantially horizontal movement of the front lid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An adjusting device for raising a rear edge of a front lid, comprising: an actuator having a first linear drive constructed to impart on the front lid a substantially vertical movement and a second linear drive constructed to impart on the front lid a substantially horizontal movement, wherein the first linear drive has an attachment point that is fixed in relation to the vehicle body and a second attachment point arranged on an adjustable section of the second linear drive, and wherein the adjustable section of the second linear drive is displaceable along a guide that is fixed in relation to the front-cover. 2. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second linear drive are connected to one another in an articulated fashion. 3. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting device is configured to be connected to a control device, with the control device being configured to control the first and second linear drive in a coordinated fashion. 4. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the linear drives comprise electric motors. 5. An adjusting device for raising a rear edge of a front lid, comprising: an actuator having a first linear drive constructed to impart on the front lid a substantially vertical movement and a second linear drive constructed to impart on the front lid a substantially horizontal movement; and a control device configured to control the first and second linear drive in a coordinated fashion, so as to move the rear edge of the front lid to a raised and rearward displaced pedestrian protection position or to an even further raised and even further rearward displaced type-class position. 6. A motor vehicle comprising an adjusting device for raising a rear edge of a front lid, the adjusting device comprising an actuator having a first linear drive constructed to impart on the front lid a substantially vertical movement and a second linear drive constructed to impart on the front lid a substantially horizontal movement, wherein the first linear drive has an attachment point that is fixed in relation to the vehicle body and a second attachment point arranged on an adjustable section of the second linear drive, and wherein the adjustable section of the second linear drive is displaceable along a guide that is fixed in relation to the front-cover.
