An actuation device for moving a charging port socket cover of a charging port socket from a closed position to an access position, where the charging port socket is received or receivable on a body component of a vehicle, includes a movable actuation structure associated with the charging port socket cover and configured such that movement of a charging gun into contact with the actuation structure and toward the charging port causes the actuation structure to shift the charging port socket cover from the closed position toward the access position.

An electric vehicle having a charging flap module. The vehicle includes a body having a body interior, which has a body element having an outer skin. The body element has a charging port, in which the charging flap module is arranged with a charging interface. The charging flap module is configured to be fixed to the body and with a charging flap. The charging flap is configured to be movable between an open position and a closed position for opening and closing the charging port. The charging flap comprises at least two movable flap parts. The flap parts are pivotable in a storage space of the body interior receiving the charging interface.

A closure device for closing a through opening on a vehicle is provided. An interior space with a filling or connection opening being accessible via the through opening, wherein the filling or connection opening is configured and provided for consumable filling on the vehicle, and it being possible for the through opening to be closed by way of a cover element which can be adjusted on the vehicle in a manner which is actuated by external force between at least one closure position for closing the through opening and an open position for opening the through opening. A control electronics system for triggering an adjustment of the cover element being provided with at least one first and second sensor device.

A charging connector device for a motor vehicle. A connector socket, which is arranged in a depression, with a pivotable cover, which can be detachably connected to said connector socket, as well as a pivotable cover flap, which closes the depression reversibly. The cover and the cover flap can pivot between a closed position and an opened position. The cover, situated in the opened position, is arranged in the pivoting path of the cover flap, which can pivot from the opened position to the closed position by a motor-driven positioning device, and, during the pivot movement of the cover flap, is entrained by the latter for closure.

A hinge for opening and closing a tank or charging flap has two lever arms which are connected to one another in an articulated manner. A first lever arm is designed for connection to a tank or charging flap and a second lever arm is designed for connection to a component fastened to a vehicle. A drive is provided in order to pivot the two lever arms relative to one another about a pivot axis. The drive is an actuator that is received on or in one of the lever arms.

Provided is a lid device which is compact, and can be installed in an efficient manner. The lid device (20) releasably locks a lid provided with a hinge (12) in a closed position. The lid device is provided with a push lifter that alternates between an extended state and a retracted state each time the lid is pushed, a motor (54) placed next to the push lifter, a lock member (18) and a transmission mechanism (60, 64) for transmitting the output of the motor. The push lifter and the motor are arranged such that a lengthwise direction of the push lifter and a lengthwise direction of the motor are perpendicular to each other, and such that the motor at least partly overlaps with the push lifter when seen from the lengthwise direction of the motor.

A device for opening and closing a fuel tank inlet cover for a vehicle can be easily assembled without the influence of a working space. The device includes a cover provided to a cap member having a fuel tank inlet so as to rotate with respect to a hinge, a push-lift provided such that an upper end portion thereof is lifted or lowered with respect to a through hole, which is formed in a coupling rib of the cover so as to be inserted into or withdrawn from the through hole, a lock rod for moving forward or backward to one side or the other side such that the push-lift is locked or unlocked, and an actuator for enabling the lock rod to move forward or backward in one or the other direction.

A fuel door arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a filler neck compartment, a fuel door and a pivot arm carrying the fuel door. The pivot arm is coupled to the filler neck compartment and can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position about a pivoting axis. The fuel door can be radially displaced on the pivot arm relative to the pivoting axis. The fuel door at least sectionally closes the filler neck compartment in a closed position. The filler neck compartment is sufficiently revealed for refueling the motor vehicle when the fuel door is in an open position.

A locking apparatus for covering and releasing a charging interface of a motor vehicle. The locking apparatus comprises a cover element, which is pivotable relative to the charging interface and which can be displaced between a closed position and an open position. The locking apparatus is equipped with a flexible connection element, which is rigidly connected to the cover element at one upper end region of the cover element in the direction of the vehicle along the transverse extent of the cover element. The cover element is at the same time permanently and in every position coupled by the connection element for protecting the charging interface with a part that is stationary relative to the charging interface.

A vehicular charge port closure system includes a cover panel disposed at a vehicle and an actuator. The actuator includes an electrically operable motor that, when electrically operated to move the cover panel between a closed position and an opened position, drives gears to impart movement of an output element. The output element is connected to the cover panel. A clutch is disposed between one of the gears and the output element. When the motor is operated to drive the gears, the clutch is engaged to move the cover panel, and when the cover panel is manually moved, the clutch is disengaged. The clutch includes a magnetic biasing element.
