Claim:
1. An actuation device for opening an emergency exit flap of a cockpit door, comprising: a support structure which is fastenable to the emergency exit flap; at least two securing elements which are integrated into the support structure and are configured so as to fasten the actuation device and the emergency exit flap to the cockpit door; an actuation element which is connected to the support structure such that the actuation element is movable towards the emergency exit flap when the support structure is fastened to the emergency exit flap, wherein the actuation element comprises a recess or through hole; a deflection mechanism which connects the securing elements to the actuation element so that a force, which is exerted on the actuation element, is diverted so that the securing elements are released from the cockpit door, wherein the deflection mechanism further comprises a displacement element that connects the securing elements to the actuation element, and wherein the displacement element pulls the securing elements into the support structure when the force is exerted on the actuation element, and wherein the displacement element is connected to the securing elements through the recess or through hole in the actuation element; wherein the actuation element is designed as a kicking surface that is at an acute angle to an emergency exit flap surface when the support structure is fastened to the emergency exit flap and no force is exerted on the kicking surface and the actuation element is connected to the support structure in such a way that the angle becomes smaller when the kicking surface is pushed towards the emergency exit flap due to exertion of the force on the kicking surface and the deflection mechanism is actuated as a result.
