摘要

The mechanism (10) to raise a vehicle door (11) in the event of an impact and especially with a pedestrian, and particularly the motor compartment hood cover, has a spring-activated actuator (26) to displace a component (14) around a swing axis (16). The swing movement of the component mounting plate (15) releases the rotating trap (17) and pawl (22) at the hood lock (33).
