Abstract
A spoiler mechanism () for a vehicle () includes a spoiler () that has a stowed position and first and second deployed positions. An actuator () is configured to move the spoiler () though the stowed and first and second deployed positions in response to a command. A multi-link assembly () is interconnected by pivot points. The multi-link assembly () is operatively connected to the spoiler (). In the first deployed position at least three pivot points are aligned with one another in a plane and provide a first geometrically locked position. In the second deployed position a second geometrically locked position is provided in which a link of the multi-link assembly () abuts another structure.
