Abstract:
1. An actuating device for moving a movable component, comprising: a movable component movable from a normal position to an open position; a driving element connected to said movable component; a reversible motorized drive, wherein said driving element is drivable by said motorized drive for moving said movable component from the normal position to said open position, said motorized drive having a drive component defining a crank recess engaging said driving element, said crank recess extending in a circular arc shape along a path of motion of said driving element and having a length corresponding to a motion of the movable component between the normal position and a partially open or the open position; a free wheel mechanism allowing the driving element to be uncoupled from said motorized drive in the open position; and a switching device operatively arranged so that after said movable component has reached the open position said driving element is drivable by said motorized drive back to said normal position, wherein said movable component is rotatable about a rotational axis between the normal position and the open position.
