ABSTRACT:
A flap for an air inlet or outlet opening at a motor vehicle is connected with an adjacent stationary carrier part by a hinge arrangement. In order to reduce the actuating forces for the flap, while providing a simple construction, a thin-walled foil or fabric strip of a thermoplastic material is used as the hinge, which, on the one side, is connected with the flap and, on the other side, with the carrier part, the end areas of the flap and of the carrier part, which face the hinge, extending at a narrow distance from one another. This arrangement is particularly suited for formation of a ram-air actuated flap.
