Abstract:
A device for interlocking of two positively guided elements adjustable relative to one another in an interlocking position, in which the guided elements are operatively connected so as to be adjacent to one another for interlocking of a part covering a vehicle orifice with the vehicle body, in which one of the guided elements forms a carrying element for a guide mechanism with an interlocking member, in which the other of the guided elements is provided as counterelement with a countermember, in which the interlocking member is arranged to be transferred via the guide mechanism out of a position of readiness for grasping the countermember into an interlocking position for the grasped countermember, said interlocking position corresponding to the interlocking position of the guided elements, and in which the guide mechanism configured as a four-bar linkage mechanism is connected to an actuating drive, and means is provided for blocking the interlocking member against adjustment by the actuating drive in a direction of its interlocking position and for transferring the interlocking member out of a blocking position via the counterelement, when the latter approaches the interlocking position of the elements, into a position enabling adjustment via the actuating drive in the direction of the interlocking position.
