ABSTRACT:
A device for actuating an angularly displaceable motor vehicle element such as a tailgate element, especially a rear spoiler having an arrangement for displacing it between a retracted rest position and a raised working position and in which a control element (13, 16) interacts with cam track (7) based on linear relative motion between them parallel to the first swivel axis (18) of a motor vehicle element (3) as the element is actuated. To ensure complex motion of the vehicle element (3) in a small installation space for this actuating device, it is provided that the control element is a first pivoted lever (13) which rides on a curved cam track (7) and which has one end pivotally mounted above the cam track (7) on the underside of the vehicle element (3) for rotation around a first pivot axis (18), and an opposite end which is located below the cam track (7) away from the vehicle element (3) for rotation around a first pivoted lever axis (15) that is parallel to the first pivot axis (18), and there is also provided a second pivoted lever (19) which does not engage the cam track (7) and which is pivotally mounted at one end on the underside of the vehicle element (3) for rotation around a second pivot axis (23) that is offset in a lateral direction relative to the first pivot axis (18) and is parallel to it, and which has its opposite end pivotally mounted for rotation around a second pivoted lever axis (20) that is offset in the same lateral direction as the second pivot axis and is parallel to the second pivot axis (15).
