摘要

The device has a first and a second drive element (3,12). The first element is connected to the tailgate (2) and pivoted by a drive shaft (6) connected to a pivot drive (5). The second element is connected directly or indirectly via intermediate parts to the rear window (11) in the tailgate, and is adjusted by the drive shaft. The shaft is fastened to a coupling element (9) and axially moved by a setting drive (13) between two positions. In a first axial position, the coupling element connects only the first drive element to the drive shaft, to pivot the tailgate, and in a second axial position, the second drive element is connected to the shaft to adjust the window. The drive is a mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or magnetic drive. The device is shaped so that the drive shaft forms the hinge pin (4).
