Kinematics for a flap

The arrangement has a drive kinematics comprising a drive steering wheel (3) that is engaged with a flap kinematics and connected with a deflection lever (2). The deflection lever is driven by an actuator (1) and provided for closing and locking the flap kinematics or a vehicle flap during closing movement in an engaging unit (5) e.g. hook, of a locking mechanism. The actuator is designed as a drive cylinder that is electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically driven. An engaging counter element (4) of the locking mechanism is arranged at the deflection lever.
