ABSTRACT:
An opening and closing apparatus for vehicle lid includes a lower base adapted to be mounted on a body panel of the vehicle and arranged to an opening of an inner space of the vehicle, first and second hinge links rotatably connected to the lower base at each one end of the respective first and second hinge links, an upper base attached to the vehicle lid formed for closing the opening of the inner space and connected to each the other end of the respective first and second hinge links, a motor for providing a drive to the first hinge link, a drive transmitting member provided between the motor and the first hinge link for transmitting the drive from the motor to the first hinge link, a normally section torque transmitting mechanism provided between the drive transmitting member and the first hinge link for transmitting the drive to the first hinge link at a point of force reaction through the normally section torque transmitting mechanism after the drive transmitting member is rotated with a predetermined angle while the vehicle lid in a fully-opened state is under closing operation and a close-start section torque transmitting mechanism provided between the drive transmitting member and the upper base for directly pressing the upper base at a point of force reaction through the close-start section torque transmitting mechanism that a distance from a center point of the rotation of the upper base is longer than a distance of the point of force reaction through the normally section torque transmitting mechanism from the center point of the rotation of the upper base before the drive transmitting member is rotated with the predetermined angle while the vehicle lid in the fully-opened state is under closing operation.
