Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Türschließeinrichtung für Kraftwagentüren, welche vermittels eines insbesondere aus wenigstens einem Tragteil und wenigstens einem Steuerteil bestehenden Gelenkparallelogrammes derart an der Fahrzeugkarosserie aufgehängt sind, daß sie beim öffnen und Schließen eine von einer Querbewegung überlagerte Schwenkbewegung ausführen und mit einer aus einem vorzugsweise an der Karosserie befestigten Schließbügel oder Schließbolzen, sowie einer mit diesem zusammenwirkenden eine Fang-bzw. Vorrast- und eine Schließ-bzw. Hauptraststellung aufweisenden Schloßfalle bestehenden Schließeinrichtung ausgestattet sind.The invention relates to a door closing device for motor vehicle doors, which are suspended from the vehicle body by means of a joint parallelogram consisting in particular of at least one support part and at least one control part in such a way that when opening and closing they execute a swiveling movement superimposed by a transverse movement and preferably with one of a striker or striker fastened to the body, as well as a catch or. Vorrast- and a closing or. Main latching lock latch existing locking device are equipped.

In herkömmlicher Weise als sog. Schlagtüren ausgebildete Kraftwagentüren werden beim Schließen der Türe üblicherweise mit Schwung zugeschlagen, da beim Schließen der Türe der hohe Anpressdruck der Dichtung zwischen Tür und Karosserie überwunden werden muß, bevor die Türe ihre zur Karosserie fluchtende und auch ihre voll eingerastete Schließlage erreichen kann.
Bei Kraftwagentüren, welche vermittels eines insbesondere aus wenigstens einem Tragteil und wenigstens einem Steuerteil bestehenden Gelenkparallelogrammes derart an der Fahrzeugkarosserie aufgehängt sind, daß sie beim Öffnen und Schließen eine von einer Querbewegung überlagerte Schwenkbewegung ausführen ist es nicht oder nur sehr schwer möglich deren zur Karosserie fluchtende Lage mittels eines bloßen Zuschlagens der Türe herbeizuführen.Motor vehicle doors designed in the conventional way as so-called impact doors are usually slammed shut when the door is closed, since when the door is closed the high contact pressure of the seal between the door and the body must be overcome before the door is in its closed position, which is flush with the body, and also in its fully latched closed position can reach.
In the case of motor vehicle doors which are suspended from the vehicle body by means of an articulated parallelogram consisting, in particular, of at least one support part and at least one control part, such that when they open and close they carry out a swiveling movement superimposed by a transverse movement, their position in alignment with the body is difficult or impossible by simply slamming the door.

Für sog. Schlagtüren sind zur Vermeidung der Notwendigkeit eines allzu heftigen Zuschlagens der Fahrzeugtür bereits Zuzieheinrichtungen bekannt geworden, die gewöhnlich mit einer Motorkraft angetriebene, eine Fang-bzw.Vorrast- und eine Schließ-bzw. Hauptraststellung aufweisende Türschloßfallen aufweisen. Dabei erfaßt die Schloßfalle den karosserieseitig feststehend angeordneten Schließbolzen oder Schließbügel, sobald sich die Türe in einer ihrer zur Karosserie fluchtenden Schließlage angenäherten Stellung befindet und wird dann durch den Motor weiter angetrieben, wodurch sie die Türe entgegen dem Dichtungsdruck in ihre zur Fahrzeugkarosserie fluchtende und verriegelte Schließlage zieht.
Solche bekannten Bauarten von Zuzieheinrichtungen für als Schlagtüren ausgebildete Kraftwagentüren sind zum einen mit einem erheblichen Aufwand behaftet, weil sie eines motorischen Antriebes bedürfen und können zum anderen bei Türen mit überlagerter Schwenkbewegung ein vollständiges Einrücken der Türe in ihre zur Karosserie fluchtende Schließlage nicht bewirken, da sie dem Türschloß zugeordnet sind und daher lediglich mit dem einen Ende des Türkörpers zusammenwirken.In order to avoid the need for a too violent slamming of the vehicle door, pulling devices have become known for so-called impact doors, which are usually driven by a motor force, a catch or pre-locking and a closing or Have main lock latches. The lock latch detects the locking bolt or striker which is arranged on the body side as soon as the door is in a position approximating its closing position aligned with the body and is then driven further by the motor, whereby it pushes the door against the sealing pressure into its locked position, which is flush with the vehicle body pulls.
Such known types of closing devices for motor vehicle doors designed as impact doors are, on the one hand, associated with considerable expense because they require a motor drive and, on the other hand, in the case of doors with a superimposed pivoting movement, they do not cause the door to fully engage in its closed position aligned with the body, since they do are assigned to the door lock and therefore only interact with one end of the door body.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde eine einerseits zwar absolut betriebssichere, andererseits aber auch mit einem geringen technischen und wirtschaftlichen Aufwand herstell- und montierbare Türschließeinrichtung zu schaffen, welche ein müheloses einschwenken der Tür in ihre zur Karosserie fluchtende und verriegelte Schließlage ermöglicht und welche darüberhinaus auch noch ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen der nur unzureichend in die Schließlage eingeschwenkten Türe verhindert.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a door locking device which is absolutely reliable on the one hand, but on the other hand can also be produced and assembled with little technical and economic outlay, which enables the door to be swiveled in effortlessly into its locked and locked position and which also beyond prevents unintentional opening of the door, which has only been pivoted insufficiently into the closed position.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß an beiden die Türöffnung in der Fahrzeugkarosserie begrenzenden Türsäulen jeweils ein feststehender Schließbügel oder Schließbolzen und an beiden Stirnenden der Türe je eine Drehfalle angeordnet ist, wobei eine erste Drehfalle durch die Schloßfalle eines Türschlosses gebildet und mit der zweiten Drehfalle in Antriebsverbindung steht, derart, daß die Schloßfalle die treibende und die andere die geschleppte Drehfalle ist. Diese Anordnung gestattet es die unmittelbar vor ihrer zur Fahrzeugkarosserie fluchtenden Schließlage stehende Fahrzeugtüre entgegen dem Dichtungsdruck vermittels der Drehfallen an beiden Enden und gleichmäßig in ihre zur Fahrzeugkarosserie fluchtende voll eingerastete Schließstellung zu bringen und ist darüberhinaus in einer rein mechanischen Ausführungsform mit einem geringstmöglichen Herstellungs-und Montageaufwand realisierbar. Insbesondere gelangen bei der erfindungsgemäßen Türschließeinrichtung beide Drehfallen mit dem jeweils zugehörigen Schließbolzen oder Schließbügel in eine einer Fang-oder Vorraststellung eintsprechende Eingriffslage, sobald die Fahrzeugtüre in eine vor der Türöffnung der Fahrzeugkarosserie liegende Stellung eingefahren bzw. eingeschwenkt ist. Darüberhinaus können beide Drehfallen Teile eines Türschlosses sein, dahingehend, daß am hinteren Ende der Fahrzeugtüre ein Hauptschloß und am vorderen Ende der Türe ein Zweit-oder Nebenschloß angeordnet ist.This object is essentially achieved in that a fixed locking bracket or locking bolt is arranged on each of the two door pillars delimiting the door opening in the vehicle body and a rotary latch is arranged on both ends of the door, a first rotary latch being formed by the lock latch of a door lock and with the second rotary latch is in drive connection, such that the lock latch the driving and another is the dragged trap. This arrangement allows the vehicle door, which is directly in front of its closing position aligned with the vehicle body, to be brought against the sealing pressure by means of the rotary latches at both ends and evenly into its fully latched closed position aligned with the vehicle body, and is moreover in a purely mechanical embodiment with the least possible production and assembly effort realizable. In particular, in the door locking device according to the invention, both rotary latches with the respectively associated locking bolt or locking bracket reach an engagement position corresponding to a catch or pre-locking position as soon as the vehicle door is retracted or swiveled into a position in front of the door opening of the vehicle body. In addition, both rotary latches can be parts of a door lock, in that a main lock is arranged at the rear end of the vehicle door and a second or secondary lock is arranged at the front end of the door.

In einer bevorzugten mechanischen Verwirklichungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß wenigstens die treibende Schloßfalle als Gabelfalle und die andere, insbesondere die geschleppte Drehfalle als Klinke ausgebildet ist, wobei die beiden Drehfallen jeweils einen eine Fang- oder Vorraststellung und einen eine Schließ-bzw.Hauptraststellung der Türe markierenden Eingriffsbereich aufweisen.In a preferred mechanical embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least the driving lock latch is designed as a fork latch and the other, in particular the towed rotary latch, is designed as a pawl, the two rotary latches each having a catching or pre-latching position and a closing or main latching position of the Have the door-marking engagement area.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung besteht dabei darin, daß die die Gabelöffnung der treibenden Schloßfalle begrenzenden Gabelzinken ungleich lang ausgebildet sind, wobei der den kürzeren Gabelzinken überragende Bereich des längeren Gabelzinkens die Vorrast- oder Fangstellung der Fahrzeugtüre markiert, während der kürzere Gabelzinken mit seiner Rückenfläche die Schließ-bzw. Hauptraststellung der Fahrzeugtüre markiert. Hierbei ist mindestens der die Schloßfalle bildenden, treibenden Gabelfalle eine sie sowohl in in der Fang-oder Voraststellung und in der Schließstellung gegen eine Rückdrehbewegung sichernde, vorzugsweise manuell ausrastbare Sperrklinke zugeordnet, in der Weise, daß die Gabelfalle und die Sperrklinge einander gegenüberliegend um feststehende Achsen und gegensinnig schwenkbar gelagert sind, und die Sperrklinke mit dem Gabelende der Schloßfalle dahingehend zusammenwirkt, daß die Sperrklinke bei in der Fang- oder Vorraststellung befindlicher Schloßfalle mit dem freien Ende deren längeren Gabelzinkens und bei in der Schließ-oder Hauptraststellung befindlicher Gabelfalle mit der Rückenfläche deren kürzeren Gabelzinkens im Eingriff steht.A particularly preferred embodiment consists in the fact that the fork tines delimiting the fork opening of the driving lock latch are of unequal length, the region of the longer fork tine projecting beyond the shorter fork tines marking the latching or catching position of the vehicle door, while the shorter fork tines with its back surface are used for closing -respectively. Main stop position of the vehicle door marked. Here, at least the driving fork latch forming the lock latch is one of them assigned in the catch or preload position and in the closed position against a backward movement, preferably manually disengageable pawl, in such a way that the fork latch and the locking blade are mounted opposite one another about fixed axes and can be pivoted in opposite directions, and the pawl with the fork end of the The lock latch interacts in such a way that the pawl engages with the free end of its longer fork prong when the lock latch is in the catch or pre-locking position and with the back surface of its shorter fork tine when the fork latch is in the closed or main locking position.

Um eine Sicherung der Schloßfalle in ihrer durch die Sperrkinke verriegelten Hauptraststellung gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Rückdrehen zu gewährleisten ist dabei zweckmäßigerweise weiter vorgesehen, daß an der Rückenfläche des kürzeren Gabelzinkens der Schloßfalle eine Rastnase zur Eingriffssicherung für die Sperrklinke angeordnet ist.In order to ensure that the lock latch is secured in its main latching position locked by the pawl against unintentional turning back, it is furthermore expediently provided that a latch is arranged on the back surface of the shorter fork prong of the lock latch for securing the pawl against engagement.

Diese Sicherung der Schloßfalle in ihrer Hauptraststellung ist insbesondere dort vorteilhaft, wo weiter vorgesehen ist, die getriebene Drehfalle mit der treibenden Schloßfalle über wenigstens ein, zumindest Zuggkräfte übertragendes Koppelglied wie Koppelstange, Drahtzug oder Bowdenzug in Antriebsverbindung steht, da auf diese Weise beide Drehfallen in ihrer jeweiligen Hauptraststellung verriegelbar sind, selbst wenn, wie gemäß einemweiteren Merkmal der Erfindung, vorgesehen ist, daß wenigstens die treibende Schloßfalle in Richtung auf ihre Lösestellung mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagt ist. Diese Federkraftbeaufschlagung der Schloßfalle hat den Vorteil, daß ein Lösen der Türverriegelung sowohl aus der Fang-bzw. Vorraststellung als auch aus der Schließ-bzw. Haupotraststellung allein durch ein Verstellen der Sperrklinke automatisch erreicht wird und somit die Betätigung in einfachster Weise erfolgen kann.This securing of the lock latch in its main latching position is particularly advantageous where it is further provided that the driven rotary latch with the driving lock latch is in drive connection via at least one coupling member, such as coupling rod, wire pull or Bowden cable, which transmits at least tensile forces, since in this way both rotary latches are in their respective main catch position can be locked, even if, as in accordance with a further feature of the invention, it is provided that at least the driving lock latch is acted upon by a spring force in the direction of its release position. This application of spring force to the lock latch has the advantage that releasing the door lock from both the catch and. Lock position as well as from the closing or. The main latching position is automatically reached simply by adjusting the pawl and thus the actuation can be carried out in the simplest way.

Im Hinblick auf den doch sehr erheblichen Dichtungsdruck der Fahrzeugtüre und ferner auch im Hinblick auf mögliche Reibungsverluste in der Antriebskoppelung der beiden Drehfallen ist vorteilhafterweise jedoch vorgesehen, daß beide Drehfallen, die treibende Schloßfalle und die getriebene Drehfalle in Richtung auf ihre Lösestellung mit einer insbesondere durch jeweils eine gegen den Türkörper abgestützten Zugfeder aufgebrachten Federkraft beaufschlagt sind. In Verbindung mit der Zuordnung einer in Richtung auf deren Lösestellung gerichteten Federbelastung wenigstens einer der beiden Drehfallen ist wenigstens einer der beiden Drehfallen ein ihre Öffnungsendlage begrenzender feststehender Anschlag zugeordnet.In view of the very considerable sealing pressure of the vehicle door and also in view of possible frictional losses in the drive coupling of the two rotary latches, it is advantageously provided, however, that both rotary latches, the driving lock latch and the driven rotary latch in the direction of their release position, in particular by each a spring force applied against the door body is applied. In connection with the assignment of a spring load directed towards its release position of at least one of the two rotary latches, at least one of the two rotary latches is assigned a fixed stop which limits its opening end position.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind beide beide Drehfallen jeweils mit einem einen Hebelarm bildenden Fortsatz ausgestattet und stehen über zwei zueinander kreuzweise angeordnete Zugglieder, insbesondere Bowdenzüge oder Drahtzüge miteinander in Antriebsverbindung, wobei jedes Zugglied jeweils den Hebelarm der einen mit dem Fallenteil der anderen-Drehfalle verbindet.According to a further embodiment of the invention, both of the rotary latches are each equipped with an extension forming a lever arm and are in drive connection with one another via two tension members, in particular Bowden cables or wire pulls, which are arranged crosswise to one another, each tension member in each case connecting the lever arm of the one with the latch part of the other rotary latch connects.

Abweichend von der vorgenannten Ausführungsform kann in einer einfacheren, weil weniger Einzelteile benötigenden Ausführungsform aber auch vorgesehen sein, die beiden Drehfallen über lediglich ein Druck-und Zugkräfte übertragendes Koppelglied miteinander in Antriebsverbindung stehen, derart daß die Übertragung einer Bewegung in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen durch das gleiche Koppelungsmittel erfolgt.Deviating from the aforementioned embodiment, it can also be provided in a simpler embodiment, because fewer individual parts are required, that the two rotary latches are in drive connection with one another via only a coupling member that transmits pressure and tensile forces, such that the transmission of a movement in both directions of movement by the same coupling means he follows.

Hinsichtlich der Ausbildung der Betätigungsmittel läßt die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung einer Türschließeinrichtung eine große Gestaltungsfreiheit, wobei sich einer erste und einfachste Ausdildung dadurch ergibt, daß die Sperrklinke mittels eines manuell betätigbaren Türgriffes verstellbar ist.With regard to the design of the actuating means, the design of a door locking device according to the invention allows a great deal of design freedom, a first and simplest training result being that the pawl can be adjusted by means of a manually operated door handle is.

Nach einer anderen Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Schloßfalle und/oder die Sperrklinke mittels eines motorischen, insbesondere elektromotorischen Antriebes von der Fang-oder Vorraststellung und die Hauptrast-oder Schließstellung bzw. in die Verriegelungs-oder Lösestellung verstellbar ist.According to another embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the lock latch and / or the pawl can be adjusted by means of a motorized, in particular electromotive drive from the catching or pre-latching position and the main latching or closing position or into the locking or unlocking position.

Schließlich besteht noch eine besondere Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung darin, daß wenigstens der der Schloßfalle zugeordnete Schließbolzen bzw. Schließbügel in einer vertikalen Führung verschiebbar an der Türsäule gehalten und vermittels eines motorischen, insbesondere elektromotorischen, Antriebes aus einer Fang-oder Vorraststellung der Gabelfalle in eine der Hauptrast-oder Schließstellung der Gabelfalle entsprechende Lage und umgekehrt verstellbar ist.Finally, a special embodiment of the invention is that at least the locking bolt or locking bracket assigned to the lock latch is held in a vertical guide on the door pillar and by means of a motorized, in particular electromotive, drive from a catch or pre-locking position of the fork latch into one of the main catches -or the closed position of the fork latch corresponding position and vice versa is adjustable.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel geht von einer im Einzelnen nicht gezeigten, vermittels eines aus wenigstens einem Tragteil und wenigstens einem Steuerteil bestehenden Gelenkparallelogrammes an einer ihrerseits gleichfalls nicht im Einzelnen gezeigten Fahrzeugkarosserie angeschlagenen Kraftwagentür, welche dieser Anlenkungscharakteristik entsprechend im Verlauf sowohl ihrer Öffnungs-als auch ihrer Schließbewegung eine von einer Querbewegung überlagerte Schwenkbewegung ausführt, aus, wobei an den beiden eine Türöffnung in der Fahrzeugkarosserie begrenzenden Türsäulen jeweils ein feststehender Schließbolzen 1 bzw. 2 angeordnet ist. Türseitig ist im Bereich des vorderen Endes der Fahrzeugtüre eine erste Drehfalle 3 und im Bereich des hinteren Endes der Fahrzeugtüre eine zweite Drehfalle 4 jeweils um eine feststehende und quer zur Schwenkachse der Fahrzeugtüre ausgerichtete Achse 5 bzw. 6 schwenkbar angelenkt. Dabei ist die erste Drehfalle 3 als Gabelfalle ausgebildet und bildet gleichzeitig die Schloßfalle des Türschlosses, während die zweite Drehfalle 4 als Klinke ausgebildet ist. Die beiden Drehfallen 3 und 4 stehen über Drahtzüge 60 und 7 in einer zwangsweisen gegenseitigen Antriebsverbindung, wobei die Schloßfalle 3 die treibende und die Drehfalle 4 die geschleppte Drehfalle ist. Zur Herstellung günstiger Kraftverhältnisse sind dabei ferner beide Drehfallen mit einem einen Hebelarm bildenden Fortsatz 8 versehen und greifen die kreuzweise angeordneten Drahtzüge jeweils einerseits am Hebelarm 8 der einen und am Fallenteil 9 bzw. 10 der anderen Drehfalle 3 bzw. 4 an, derart, daß die Drehfalle 4 bei einer Schwenkbewegung der die Schloßfalle bildenden Drehfalle 3 zwangsweise synchron und gleichsinnig verstellt wird. Die die Schloßfalle bildende Gabelfalle 3 weist zwei ungleich lange Gabelzinken 11 und 12 auf, wobei der erste längere Gabelzinken 11 bereits bei in einer zu ihrer Schließlage parallelen vor der Türöffnung der Fahrzeugkarosserie liegenden Stellung der Fahrzeugtüre mit dem zugehörigen Schließbolzen 1 in Anlage kommt und in dieser Stellung die Vorraststellung einnimmt. Gleichzeitig damit kommt aber auch der an der anderen Türsäule angeordnete Schließbolzen 2 mit dem Klinkenbereich der zweiten Drehfalle in Eingriff, wobei die Klinke so gestaltet ist, daß der Schließbolzen hierbei nur mit einem einen Vorrastbereich markierenden Teil der Klinke 4 in Anlage gelangt. Im Verlauf der weiteren Zuziehbewegung der Fahrzeugtüre gelangt dann die die Schloßfalle bildende Drehfalle 3 in eine Hauptrast-oder Schließstellung und schleppt dabei aufgrund ihrer Koppelung mit dieser auch die zweite Drehfalle 4 in eine Verriegelungsstellung. Zugleich mit dieser weiteren Schwenkbewegung der beiden Drehfallen 3 und 4 wird die Fahrzeugtüre entgegen dem Dichtungsdruck in ihre zur Fahrzeugkarosserie fluchtende und verriegelte Schließendlage gezogen. Der zweiten Drehfalle 4 ist bei dem in der Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Zugfeder 13 zugeordnet, welche die Drehfalle 4 und infolge deren Koppelung mit dieser auch die die Schloßfalle bildende Drehfalle 3 in Richtung auf ihre Freigabestellung beaufschlagt. Bei dem in der Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel hingegen ist sowohl der ersten, die Schloßfalle bildenden Drehfalle 3 als auch der zweiten Drehfalle 4 jeweils eine eigene in Richtung auf ihre Freigabestellung wirkende Zugfeder 13 bzw. 14 zugeordnet. Wenigstens der die Schloßfalle bildenden Drehfalle 3 ist dabei ein ihre Schwenkbeweglichkeit in Richtung Freigabestellung begrenzender, am Türkörper feststehend angeordneter Anschlag 20 zugeordnet, wobei dieser Anschlag 20 mit dem an die Drehfalle 3 angeschlossenen Hebelarm 8 zusammenwirkt. In den abgewandelten Ausführungsformen ist auch der zweiten Drehfalle 4 jeweils ein ihre Schwenkbeweglichkeit in Richtung freigabestellung begrenzender Anschlag 20 zugeordnet, wobei dieser Anschlag 20 mit dem Fallenteil der Drehfalle 4 zusammenwirkt.The embodiment shown in the drawing is based on a motor vehicle door which is not shown in detail and which is attached by means of a joint parallelogram consisting of at least one support part and at least one control part to a vehicle body, which in turn is not shown in detail either, and which corresponds to this articulation characteristic in the course of both its opening and opening their closing movement carries out a swiveling movement superimposed by a transverse movement, a fixed locking pin 1 or 2 being arranged on each of the two door pillars delimiting a door opening in the vehicle body. On the door side, in the area of the front end of the vehicle door, a first rotary latch 3 and in the area of the rear end of the vehicle door a second rotary latch 4 are each pivotably articulated about a fixed axis 5 or 6 oriented transversely to the pivot axis of the vehicle door. The first rotary latch 3 is designed as a fork latch and at the same time forms the lock latch of the door lock, while the second rotary latch 4 is designed as a latch. The two rotary latches 3 and 4 are in a forced mutual drive connection via wire pulls 60 and 7, the lock latch 3 being the driving and the rotary latch 4 being the towed rotary latch. To produce favorable force ratios, both rotary latches are also provided with an extension 8 forming a lever arm and engage the crosswise arranged wire pulls on the one hand on the lever arm 8 of the one and on the latch part 9 and 10 of the other rotary latches 3 and 4, such that the Rotary latch 4 with a pivoting movement of the lock latch forming catch 3 is forcibly adjusted synchronously and in the same direction. The fork latch 3 forming the lock latch has two unequally long fork tines 11 and 12, the first longer fork tine 11 already coming into contact with the associated locking bolt 1 when the vehicle door is in a position parallel to its closed position in front of the door opening of the vehicle body, and in this Position assumes the pre-locking position. At the same time, however, the locking bolt 2 arranged on the other door pillar also engages with the latch area of the second rotary latch, the latch being designed in such a way that the locking pin only comes into contact with a part of the latch 4 which marks a latching area. In the course of the further closing movement of the vehicle door, the rotary latch 3 forming the lock latch then reaches a main latching or closed position and, due to its coupling with it, also tows the second rotary latch 4 into a locking position. At the same time as this further swiveling movement of the two rotary latches 3 and 4, the vehicle door is pulled against its sealing pressure into its locked, closed end position which is aligned with the vehicle body. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the second rotary latch 4 is assigned a tension spring 13, which acts on the rotary latch 4 and, as a result of their coupling with it, also on the rotary latch 3 forming the lock latch in the direction of its release position. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, on the other hand, both the first rotary latch 3 forming the lock latch and the second rotary latch 4 are each assigned their own tension spring 13 or 14 acting in the direction of their release position. At least the rotary latch 3 forming the lock latch is assigned a stop 20 which limits its pivoting movement in the direction of the release position and which is fixedly arranged on the door body, this stop 20 interacting with the lever arm 8 connected to the rotary latch 3. In the modified embodiments the second rotary latch 4 is also assigned a stop 20, which limits its pivoting mobility in the direction of the release position, this stop 20 interacting with the latch part of the rotary latch 4.

Bei der in der Figur 3 dargestellten Ausfürhungsform ist die Lage der beiden Drehfallen 3 und 4 zunächst in der Vorrast-bzw. Fangstellung durch eine Sperrklinke 15 gegen eine Rückdrehung gesichert, welche der die Schloßfalle bildenden als Gabelfalle ausgebildeten Drehfalle 3 gegenüberliegend und zu dieser gegensinnig drehbar an einer feststehenden Achse 16 gelagert ist und bei in der Fang-oder Vorraststellung befindlichen Drehfallen 3 und 4 mit dem freien Ende des längeren Gabelzinkens 11 formschlüssig zusammenwirkt. Beim Einfahren der Fahrzeugtüre in ihre zur Fahrzeugkarosserie fluchtende Schließlage und der damit einhergehenden weiteren Verschwenkbewegung der Schloßfalle 3 gelangt dann die Sperrklinke 15 mit der Rückenfläche 17 des kürzeren zweiten Gabelzinkens 12 der die Schloßfalle bildenden Gabelfalle 3 in formschlüssigen Eingriff und sichert nunmehr die beiden Drehfallen 3 und 4 in ihrer Hauptraststellung. An der Rückenfläche 17 des kürzeren Gabelzinkens 12 ist ferner eine Nase 18 vorgesehen, die ein unbeabsichtigtes Ausrasten der Sperrklinke 15, z.B. unter der Wirkung von Erschütterungen infolge des Fahrbetriebes verhindert. Wie insbesondere aus der Darstellung der Figur 3 ersichtlich kann die Sperrklinke 15 zwecks gewollter Freigabe der Fahrzeugtüre, insbesondere zum Öffnen derselben, mit einem Türgriff oder dergl. Auslösegriff 21 gekoppelt sein.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the position of the two rotary latches 3 and 4 is initially in the pre-locking or Catch position secured by a pawl 15 against reverse rotation, which is opposite the rotary latch 3, which forms the lock latch and is designed as a fork latch, and is rotatable in opposite directions on a fixed axis 16 and with the free end in rotary catches 3 and 4 located in the catch or pre-latched position of the longer fork tine 11 interacts positively. When the vehicle door is moved into its closed position aligned with the vehicle body and the associated further pivoting movement of the lock latch 3, the pawl 15 then comes into positive engagement with the back surface 17 of the shorter second fork prong 12 of the fork latch 3 forming the lock latch and now secures the two rotary latches 3 and 4 in its main resting position. On the back surface 17 of the shorter fork prong 12 there is also a nose 18 which prevents the pawl 15 from accidentally disengaging, e.g. prevented under the effect of vibrations due to driving. As can be seen in particular from the illustration in FIG. 3, the pawl 15 can be coupled to a door handle or the like release handle 21 for the purpose of deliberately releasing the vehicle door, in particular for opening the same.

Bei der in den Figuren 4 und 5 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der der als Gabelfalle ausgebildeten Schloßfalle 3 zugeordnete Schließbolzen la vermittels eines in der Zeichnung nicht besonders dargestellten motorischen Antriebes entlang einer in der Türsäule vorgesehenen vertikalen Schlitzführung in vertikaler Richtung verstellbar, derart, daß mittels einer abwärts gerichteten vertikalen Verstellung des Schließbolzens la die als Gabelfalle ausgebildete Schloßfalle 3 aus der Fang-oder Vorraststellung in die Schließ-oder Hauptraststellung bewegt wird. Infolge ihrer zwangsweisen Antriebskoppelung mit der Schloßfalle 3 wird dabei auch die zweite Drehfalle 4 entsprechend verstellt. Bei einer umgekehrten Verstellung des Schließbolzens la werden die beiden Drehfallen 3 und 4 wieder in ihre Fang-oder Vorraststellung zurückbewegt.
Abweichend von der in der Figur 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist bei der in der Figur 5 dargestellten Ausführungsform vorgesehen, daß nicht nur der die Schloßfalle bildenden Drehfalle 3 sondern auch der zweiten Drehfalle 4 eine in Richtung auf ihre Freigabestellung wirkende Rückzugsfeder 13 bzw. 14 zugeordnet ist.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the locking bolt la assigned to the lock latch 3 designed as a fork latch is adjustable in the vertical direction by means of a motor drive (not particularly shown in the drawing) along a vertical slot guide provided in the door pillar, such that, by means of a downward vertical adjustment of the locking bolt la, the lock latch 3 designed as a fork latch is moved from the catching or pre-latching position into the closing or main latching position. As a result of their forced drive coupling with the lock latch 3, the second rotary latch 4 is also adjusted accordingly. When the locking bolt la is reversed, the two rotary latches 3 and 4 are moved back into their catch or pre-locking position.
In a departure from the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, it is provided in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 that not only the rotary latch 3 forming the lock latch but also the second rotary latch 4 is assigned a return spring 13 or 14 acting in the direction of its release position.
