Abstract
A drive device for a vehicle flap, and includes a first actuator for opening and closing the vehicle flap. The first actuator has a first end. The drive device also includes a first connection element for connecting the first end of the first actuator to one of the vehicle door and the vehicle body, and a coupling device having at least one first coupling member for coupling the first connection element to the first actuator. The coupling device comprises a second coupling element which is displaceable relative to the first coupling element between a first end position and a second end position.
