Device for adjusting a shell-shaped housing part, a position detector for use in such a device, and a vehicle provided with such a device

A device for adjusting a shell-shaped housing part for a motor vehicle, the device comprising:

• a base part, in for attachment to a body of the motor vehicle, on which, using a hinge construction a supporting frame is arranged, such that the supporting frame is pivotable in a pivoting range relative to the base part about a hinge axis extending in a substantially upward direction, for using a, first actuator, between a folded-in position, in which the supporting frame, substantially abuts along the body of the motor vehicle, and at least one folded-out position, the pivoting range including a folding-out range around the folded-out position, in which the supporting frame is oriented substantially transversely to the body, furthermore comprising a position detector for determining a pivoting position of the supporting frame relative to the base part, wherein the position detector comprises a first voltage divider of which at least a part of the range substantially corresponds to the pivoting range of the supporting frame.
