Abstract
The disclosure is directed to hatch arrangement having a hatch leaf, a hatch drive arrangement, a hatch lock, and a cinching system. The hatch lock has a hatch lock catch for engaging a hatch lock striker in a retaining manner in a primary latch position and in a secondary latch position, and for disengaging the hatch lock striker in an open latch position. The cinching system includes a force transfer arrangement for transferring a force exerted by the hatch drive arrangement to the hatch lock catch. The force transfer arrangement has a transfer element coupled to the hatch drive arrangement and a Bowden cable connecting the transfer element with the hatch lock catch. In the closed hatch position of the hatch leaf the hatch arrangement is free from pulling forces between the transfer element and the vehicle body.
