Patent attributes
An actuating drive for moving a flap includes a housing, an actuating arm pivotably mounted on or in the housing for the moving flap, a spring apparatus for applying force to the actuating arm, a transmission mechanism for transmitting a force of the spring apparatus onto the actuating arm, an adjusting apparatus by which a lever geometry of the transmission mechanism and/or the force of the spring apparatus, which force acts on the actuating arm, can be variably adjusted, and a damping apparatus by which a movement of the actuating arm can be damped by a damping power in the event of a damping stroke. The adjusting apparatus is coupled to the damping apparatus by a coupling apparatus, and the position of the damping apparatus relative to the housing, the damping stroke of the damping apparatus, and/or the damping power of the damping apparatus can be variably adjusted.
