Top compartment lid assembly comprising a link assembly and a locking assembly

A top compartment lid assembly of a convertible vehicle, the top compartment lid assembly comprising a lid element, a linkage assembly configured to displace the lid element between an open position and a closed position and comprising a lid link assembly on either side of a vertical longitudinal center plane of the lid, each lid link assembly being mounted in a pivoting manner on a main bearing attached to a vehicle body, and a locking assembly on either side of the longitudinal center plane of the lid, each locking assembly being configured to be moved between a locked position and an unlocked position by a locking link assembly, characterized in that an electric motor is mounted on each of the bilaterally disposed main bearings, each electric motor driving both the respective lid link assembly and the respective locking link assembly via a drive pinion;

• wherein when the drive pinion is moved in a first direction of rotation, it first displaces the locking assembly from the locked position into the unlocked position and then displaces the lid element from the closed position into the open position, and when the drive pinion is moved in a second direction of rotation, it first displaces the lid element from the open position into the closed position and then displaces the locking assembly from the unlocked position into the locked position.
