Abstract
The invention refers to a device () for actuating a membrane arranged in an opening to a space, and a vehicle having such a device. The membrane () has a first surface (') and a second opposite surface (″), and is limited by an edge area. The device includes a first strip () to be attached to the first surface of the membrane in the edge area, and a second strip () to be attached to a surface of a frame portion extending around the opening. An exchanging number () is arranged between and connecting the first strip with the second strip. An actuating member () is arranged to transfer a reciprocating primary movement to the exchanging member converting the primary movement to a reciprocating secondary movement, which has a longer length of stroke than the primary movement and acts on the strips to move towards and away from each other.
