Drive for moving a wind deflector on a cabriolet

Structure of mechanism
Function	The motion device relates to a drive moving a wind deflector on a cabriolet. The wind deflector is based on a crank-loop mechanism with 6 links and 7 joints, which can be driven by a rotational drive. The degree of freedom of the mechanism is F = 1.
