Patent ID: 11897414
Assignee: BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  E | IPC B  E

Claim 3:
4. A hinge system of a hood of a vehicle, comprising:
a hinge which is arranged between the hood and a counter-element of the vehicle, wherein the hinge is configured both for opening the hood and for lifting the hood in a closed state; and
a lifting-piston actuator for introducing a lifting movement of the hood, wherein
the lifting-piston actuator has a piston element which is connectable to the hinge and/or to the hood in a form-fitting connection, in order to limit a freedom of movement of the hood in a lifting direction, wherein the hinge comprises:
a hinge upper part with a main link and a hood part;
two links which are each attached rotatably to the main link and to the counter-element of the vehicle, in order to produce a four-bar mechanism,
wherein the hood part is configured for fastening to the hood,
wherein the hood part is fastened to the main link so as to be rotatable at a bearing point and is connected to the main link in a non-rotatable manner by a fixing element, and
wherein the fixing element is releasable by the lifting-piston actuator, in order to achieve torsion between the hood part and the main link.
