Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A LID OF A MOTOR VEHICLE BODY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/046491
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and a method for adjusting a lid (12) in relation to a frame (14) of a motor vehicle body. The lid (12) is provided with a pedestal (20), to which a slide block (22) comprising a lateral support element (24) is displaceably fixed. To adjust a gap measurement (52) for the lid (12), the support element (24) is brought into a desired position, supported on an opposing surface (50) of the frame (14), by displacing the slide block (22) and the latter (22) is then fixed to the pedestal (20). The aim of the invention is to prevent any irritating noises. To achieve this, an axial buffer is provided (26) to damp the lid (12), said buffer being used to first adjust the lid (12) in a transverse manner in relation to the plane of the frame. The desired position of the support element (24) is obtained by positioning a spacer gauge (46) between said element and the opposing surface (50) of the frame (14) during the adjustment process. The distance between the support element (24) and the opposing surface (50), which corresponds approximately to the width of the spacer gauge (46), guarantees a noise-free arrangement of the lid (12) on the body, when the vehicle is driven.
