Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle pivotal closure type power-operated assembly remotely controlling the opening or closing of a vehicle closing section and having power. SOLUTION: The closing assembly has a hidden power actuator remotely operated by a controller to open or close the closing section, i.e., a lift gate. The hinge member 18 of the power actuator 16 is coupled with a vehicle structure section pivotably around a hinge shaft 24 and rigidly fitted to the closing section. An armature is extended from a slender linear moving rack to the hinge member pivotably around a rack pivotal shaft. The armature is coupled with the hinge member 18 pivotably around a second pivotal shaft arranged in parallel with the hinge shaft 24 and the rack pivotal shaft 26. The rack is driven by a pinion gear train operated by a motor via a clutch. A hinge, the rack, the gear train, and the motor are wholly supported by a modular reinforcing tray 27 coupled with the structure section.
