Abstract

See full text

A hatch operating mechanism is arranged to control opening and closing movements of a hatch covering an opening in a vehicle. The mechanism comprises a first arm and a second arm each having a first end and a second end, wherein each arm is rotatably attached to the vehicle at the first end and rotatably attached to the hatch at the second end. First and second connecting elements extend between and are displaceable relative to a pair of spaced apart, parallel guides fixed to the hatch, wherein the second ends of the arms are rotatably attached to the respective connecting elements. The first arm rotates in a first direction over a first arcuate path, and the second arm simultaneously rotates in an opposing second direction over a second arcuate path; and the first and second connecting elements are configured for reciprocating movement along the guides during rotation of the arms.
