Claim:
A closing device adapted to cover an opening in a component of a motor vehicle so as to close the opening, the closing device comprising: a closing screen adapted to be driven between an open position, which unblocks the opening, and a closed position, which blocks the opening; a cover support having a longitudinal extent which extends in a movement direction of the closing screen, wherein a front-end region, in a closing direction of the closing screen, is connected in an articulated manner to the cover support such that the closing screen is pivotable about a pivot axis which extends transverse to the movement direction, said pivot axis being able to move freely along the extent of the cover support in an internal clearance defined by the cover support; a reversible drive adapted to drive the cover support in direction of the longitudinal extent of the cover support between a first position and a second position of the cover support corresponding to the open and closed position of the closing screen; and a tilting lever coupling an end region of the closing screen, opposite the front region, to the cover support in an articulated manner, the tilting lever being spring-loaded relative to the cover support and adapted to pivot about a first axis and a second axis that are parallel to the pivot axis; and a stop adapted to limit the closing movement of the closing screen in the closing movement direction, before the second position of the cover support is reached.
