Claims5
An apparatus for opening and closing a cover for an electrically-driven curtain, comprising:
- a driving device for the electrically-driven curtain, wherein the driving device is mounted at a lower portion of a withdrawal aperture of a rear package tray, wherein the cover is openably or closably mounted over the withdrawal aperture of the rear package tray;
- and
- a cover opening and closing unit disposed between the cover and a drive shaft of the driving device, allowing the cover to be opened or closed with a driving of the driving device,
- wherein the cover opening and closing unit comprises:
- a driving gear connected to the drive shaft of the driving device for the electrically-driven curtain;
- a driven gear angularly rotatably mounted on an external frame of the driving device while engaging with the driving gear;
- an actuating member coaxially connected to the driven gear to actuate the cover in an opening or closing direction;
- and
- a pushing plate integrally formed on an undersurface of the cover and pushed by the actuating member, thereby pushing the cover in the opening direction, wherein the actuating member is a circular plate including:
- a first side cut into an arch shape;
- and
- a second side having a push end that contacts the pushing plate, and wherein the pushing plate comprises:
- a support bar integrally formed on the undersurface of the cover;
- and
- an opening angle control body integrally formed on a lower end of the support bar, wherein the opening angle control body has a first curved groove, a second curved groove located lower than the first curved groove, and an edge portion protruding at a boundary of the first curved groove and the second curved groove, wherein the first curved groove, the second curved groove, and the edge portion are selectively engaged with the push end of the actuating member directly.
