Abstract
A structure for unifying a motor for use with a rear curtain and a power trunk is provided. The structure includes an electromagnetic clutch, which is connected to a hinge arm of a trunk lid via a trunk wire and is connected to a rear curtain via a curtain wire and selectively transmits driving force to the trunk wire or to the curtain wire. Additionally, a rotary motor is connected to the electromagnetic clutch and supplies driving force to the electromagnetic clutch. The trunk wire and the curtain wire are operated by a single rotary motor. Accordingly, the production cost and weight of a vehicle are reduced.
