ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a securing device for swivelling components of vehicles, in particular for engine hoods of motor vehicles. A securing hook which, after the release of the swivelling component, initially maintains a catch connection between this swivelling component and a fixed location mating component until the securing hook is pivoted into a release position by means of a manipulator. The manipulator, which is recessed when the swivelling component is locked, is automatically transferred into an accessible operating position by utilization of a forced advancement of the swivelling component relative to the mating component initiated by the release procedure. A control edge effectively connected to the manipulator and supported on the mating component is moved in the opening direction of the securing hook by sliding along the mating component. In order to permit an increase in the automatic manipulator advancement without doubts about safety and without sacrifices to operational comfort, the control edge is part of a control hook which is supported so that it can move relative to the securing hook and the motion of the control hook is only coupled to that of the securing hook after it is in advance of the latter.
