Patent ID: 8261628

Claim:
An electromechanical driving device ( 1 ) for use in a tailgate of a motor vehicle, having an electric motor ( 2 ) for driving in rotation a spur gear ( 4 ) which is accommodated in a transmission housing ( 3 ) and which is operatively connected to a transmission arrangement ( 5 ) in order to drive an output shaft ( 19 ) for a windshield wiping device, wherein the spur gear ( 4 ) is rotatably accommodated in the transmission housing ( 3 ) by means of a co-rotating spur gear shaft ( 6 ), characterized in that a shaft section ( 7 ) of the spur gear shaft ( 6 ) extends out of the transmission housing ( 3 ) and means for actuating a closing device ( 8 ) for closing the tailgate and/or a tailgate windshield are accommodated on the shaft section ( 7 ), characterized in that the means for actuating the closing device ( 8 ) comprises a freewheeling device which causes the closing device ( 8 ) to be actuated when the spur gear shaft ( 6 ) rotates in a first rotational direction, and causes freewheeling of the spur gear shaft ( 6 ) in an opposite second rotational direction, characterized in that the freewheeling device has an actuating lever ( 9 ) which is accommodated in a co-rotating fashion on the shaft section ( 7 ) of the spur gear shaft ( 6 ) and is operatively connected to a closing device lever ( 10 ) having a wedge shape in the opposite second rotational direction of the actuating lever ( 9 ).
