To improve the operability of the pushrod, in the lid opening and closing device, the sleeve supports the pushrod, and the cam protrusion of the pushrod is inserted into the cam hole of the sleeve so as to be relatively movable. When the pushrod reciprocates in the axial direction, the cam hole guides the cam protrusion, and the pushrod rotates. The sleeve has a small-diameter tubular portion, a large-diameter tubular portion, and a connecting portion that connects them. These two tubular portions are separated in the axial direction, and the cam hole is arranged between them. That is, the sleeve is composed of a single member. Thus, compared with the case where the sleeve is composed of two members, small-diameter and large-diameter tubular portion, that are assembled to the case, it is possible to suppress the displacement of both end faces in the width direction of the cam hole.

A door assembly that includes a pocket having a biasing bore configured to accommodate a biasing member; a bezel attached to the pocket; and a door having a cam and at least one axle. The bezel has at least one axle slot. The at least one axle is received into the at least one axle slot and the biasing member is configured to apply an urging force onto the cam.

A motor vehicle has at least one pressure vessel for storing storage medium, preferably fuel, at least one pressure relief device for pressure relief of the at least one pressure vessel, and at least one opening through which storage medium flows out during a pressure relief.

In the lid opening and closing device, the rotating body at the initial position rotates to one side in the rotation direction, so that the lock member is disengaged from the first link. Further, the first link and the rotating body are provided with a differential connecting mechanism, and the differential connecting mechanism connects the rotating body and the first link to operate the link mechanism at the retracted position after the lock member is disengaged from the first link, when the rotating body is rotating. As a result, the differential connecting mechanism imparts a time difference between the two operations of the rotating body. Therefore, the lock member and the link mechanism can be operated by rotationally driving the rotating body by a single actuator.

A charging or tank door assembly of a motor vehicle, including a base body receiving a charging socket or a tank inlet, a door body pivotable about an axis of rotation and supporting a panel body on a first position, and a push-push mechanism for locking the door body and releasing the door body in the first position. In the first position, the door body closes an opening in a body of the motor vehicle and blocks access to the charging socket or to the tank inlet. In a second position, the door body releases the opening of the body of the motor vehicle and the access to the charging socket or to the tank inlet. Relative to the first position, the push-push mechanism is arranged on a different side of the axis of rotation than the first portion, supporting the panel body, of the door body.

A vehicle lid device includes a housing disposing a fueling port or an electrical charging port inside an opening; and a lid turnably connected to a housing side, and opening and closing the opening of the housing. A connection portion between the housing side and the lid side includes a fitting portion for a shaft and a hole, and in a fully open position of the lid, when an external force at a predetermined value or above is applied in an opening direction to further open the lid, fitting of the fitting portion is released.

A sealing device for sealing a through opening in a vehicle chassis includes a sealing element that can be shifted between an open position, in which the through opening is released, and a closed position, in which the through opening can be closed. The sealing device has an adjusting device which includes a guide housing that can be arranged in a spatially fixed manner on the vehicle chassis, in which guide housing a carrier element is translationally and pivotably guided, where the carrier element has the sealing element. A slide guide is provided, via which the carrier element can be translationally shifted and pivoted in relation to the guide housing. A traction element is translationally entrainably connected to the carrier element, and simultaneously connected in a rotationally decoupled manner, via a pivot bearing. The traction element is translationally shiftable by the drive.

A forward/backward movement device includes: a case; a guide member that is housed in the case and includes a shaft and a protrusion formed on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft; and a forward/backward movement member having a cylindrical shape. The forward/backward movement member includes a groove that is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the forward/backward movement member and moves forward and backward with respect to the case while rotating by being guided by the protrusion. The groove is a portion where the protrusion slides. Thereby the forward/backward movement device can be miniaturized while preventing the intrusion of water.

In the lid opening and closing device, the rotating body at the initial position rotates to one side in the rotation direction, so that the lock member is disengaged from the first link. Further, the first link and the rotating body are provided with a differential connecting mechanism, and the differential connecting mechanism connects the rotating body and the first link to operate the link mechanism at the retracted position after the lock member is disengaged from the first link, when the rotating body is rotating. As a result, the differential connecting mechanism imparts a time difference between the two operations of the rotating body. Therefore, the lock member and the link mechanism can be operated by rotationally driving the rotating body by a single actuator.

A cover apparatus for a motor vehicle body has a movement device (5) with first and second guide rails (8, 9) that are spaced from one another and received rigidly on the motor vehicle body (2). A covering element (4) covers a filling connector (7) of the motor vehicle body (2) and is received movably on the motor vehicle body (2). The covering element (4) is coupled to the first and second guide rails (8, 9). A third guide rail (10) is transverse to the first and second guide rails (8, 9). The third guide rail (10) is configured to be movable relative to the motor vehicle body (2) and the first and second guide rails (8, 9). The third guide rail (10) is configured to receive the covering element (4), and the covering element can be moved relative to the third guide rail.
