ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle folding hood has a hood part which rests on a bodywork component when the hood is closed and is connected thereto via locking apparatus. A pivot mounting of the hood part is provided on a further hood part on the side opposite to the locking side, about the bearing axis of which the hood part can be swung up into a lift-off position after unlocking thereof, as well as automatic pivot drive of the unlocked hood part via a spring loading. A drive device for the spring-loaded drive, which is regenerated after the downward pivoting of the hood part into its bearing position, is supported on the mutually connected end regions of the two hood parts at a moment distance from the bearing axis. In order to be able to provide a more compact configuration of the articulated connection between the lockable hood part and the hood part adjacent thereto, the drive device for the spring-loaded drive is configured as a supporting arrangement with limited longitudinal variability which is arranged below the bearing axis and is supported by opposite ends on the hood parts. The supporting arrangement operates with enlargement of its regenerated supporting length.
