Abstract
The invention relates to a drive device () for driving a vehicle flap (), comprising a traction means () and a deflection roller () with a groove base () and roller surfaces (), wherein the roller surfaces () extend further radially outward with respect to the axis of rotation (Y) than the groove base () does, wherein the deflection roller () is designed to guide the traction means () in such a way that a first portion of the traction means () is in contact with the groove base (), while a second portion of the traction means () is in contact with one of the roller surfaces (), so that the second portion of the traction means (), with respect to the axis of rotation (Y) and compared to the first portion of the traction means (), is displaced both in the axial direction (Y) and radially outward, wherein the deflection roller () has a cross section according to which each roller surface () extends in a convex manner from the groove base () to a corresponding side surface of the deflection roller (), which delimit the deflection roller (), viewed in the axial direction. The invention further relates to a corresponding vehicle flap arrangement ().
