SAFETY DEVICE FOR SPRING-LOADED MECHANISM
The present invention provides a drive mechanism for a vehicle lift gate. The drive mechanism includes a housing including a first end securable to a vehicle frame and an opposite second end securable to a lift gate. The drive mechanism further includes a spring disposed for movement within the housing along the axis between the first and second ends and biasing the first end axially relative to the second end. A damper extends around the housing for absorbing energy released by rapid axial movement of the spring relative to the housing.
