Abstract

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle having a component whose position can be changed and which is provided with a cable. For this cable, the motor vehicle has a cable store with a force and/or torque storage means, of which the stored force and/or stored torque changes with the position of the component.

Claims (18)

1. A motor vehicle comprising a component whose position may be changed and which is provided with a cable,

wherein the motor vehicle comprises a cable store with a force and/or torque storage means, of which a stored force and/or stored torque changes with the position of the component,

wherein the cable store comprises two rollers, rotational axes thereof being rotatable about a common center of rotation which is located between the rollers, in particular located centrally between the rollers.

2. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cable store is provided in the component and/or connected to a vehicle chassis.

3. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the component is a vehicle door or a tailgate.

4. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the stored force and/or stored torque of the force and/or torque storage means increases when the component is opened and reduces when the component is closed.

5. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two rollers are arranged on a rotary plate.

6. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cable has a deformation which is elastically deformed when the position of the component changes.

7. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the cable itself has sufficient material properties for permanent plastic deformation.

8. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a permanently plastically deformable means is arranged on the cable.

9. A motor vehicle comprising:

a component whose position may be changed and which is provided with a cable, wherein the motor vehicle comprises a cable store with a force and/or torque storage means, of which a stored force and/or stored torque changes with the position of the component, wherein the cable store comprises two rollers which are arranged on a rotary plate.

10. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the cable store is provided in the component and/or connected to a vehicle chassis.

11. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the component is a vehicle door or a tailgate.

12. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the stored force and/or stored torque of the force and/or torque storage means increases when the component is opened and reduces when the component is closed.

13. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the cable has a deformation which is elastically deformed when the position of the component changes.

14. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the cable itself has sufficient material properties for permanent plastic deformation.

15. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a permanently plastically deformable means is arranged on the cable.
