Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Verschluß für Sicherheitsgurte, mit einem Schwenkriegel, der in einem lasttragenden Rahmen gelagert ist und in seiner Sperrstellung an einer Rastkante einer Steckzunge angreift, einem Sperrglied, das am Rahmen quer zur Schwenkrichtung des Schwenkriegels zwischen einer Öffnungsstellung, in der es den Schwenkriegel freigibt, und einer Sperrstellung, in der es den Schwenkriegel in seiner Eingriffsstellung blockiert, verschiebbar gelagert ist, einer gleichfalls am Rahmen gelagerten Lösetaste, durch deren Betätigung das Sperrglied in die Öffnungsstellung verschiebbar ist, und einer schraubenförmigen Druckfeder, die sich mit ihrem einen Ende an dem Schwenkriegel und mit ihrem anderen Ende an dem Sperrglied abstützt.The invention relates to a buckle for seat belts, with a swivel bolt that is in a load-bearing Frame is stored and in its locked position engages a locking edge of a tongue, a locking member, that on the frame transversely to the swivel direction of the swivel bolt between an open position in which there is the swivel bolt releases, and a locking position in which there is the swivel bolt blocked in its engaged position, movable is stored, a release button also mounted on the frame, by actuating the locking member in the open position is slidable, and a helical Compression spring with one end on the swivel bar and is supported with the other end on the locking member.

Verschlüsse dieser Art für Sicherheitsgurte sind wegen ihrer robusten und einfachen Mechanik, ihrer hohen Zuverlässigkeit und der geringen Betätigungskräfte auch unter Belastung schon seit vielen Jahren in Gebrauch. Ein solcher Verschluß ist beispielsweise in der DE-A-33 37 508 gezeigt. Such buckles for seat belts are because of their robust and simple mechanics, their high reliability and the low actuation forces even under load in use for many years. Such a closure is shown for example in DE-A-33 37 508.

Bei der weitgehend automatisierten Montage dieser Verschlüsse kann es zu einem Montagefehler kommen, der darin besteht, daß die zwischen den Schwenkriegel und das Sperrglied eingesetzte Druckfeder so eingebaut ist, daß sie sich zwar an dem Sperrglied abstützt, jedoch nicht in der vorgesehenen Weise in ihrer Aufnahme zu liegen kommt. Dieser Montagefehler äußert sich nur in einer von dem vorgeschriebenen Wert geringfügig abweichenden Federkraft und kann daher unbemerkt bleiben.In the largely automated assembly of these closures there may be an assembly error that consists of that the inserted between the pivot bolt and the locking member Compression spring is installed so that it is on the Locking member supports, but not in the intended manner comes to rest in their recording. This assembly error is expressed only in one of the prescribed value slightly different spring force and can therefore go unnoticed stay.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Verschluß der eingangs genannten Art für Sicherheitsgurte dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß eine Fehlmontage der Feder ausgeschlossen ist.In this context, it is an object of the invention to Buckle of the type mentioned above for seat belts to further develop that incorrect assembly of the spring is excluded.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verschluß der eingangs angegebenen Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Druckfeder in einer Federaufnahme gehalten ist, die von zwei Stegen des Rahmens begrenzt ist und einen Zapfen am Sperrglied umfaßt, wobei das sperrgliedseitige Ende der Druckfeder mit Formgestaltungen versehen ist, durch die das sperrgliedseitige Federende in Zusammenwirken mit den Stegen auf dem Zapfen zwangszentriert ist.This task is carried out with a closure of the above Kind solved in that the compression spring in a spring receptacle is held, which is limited by two webs of the frame is and comprises a pin on the locking member, the pusher end of the compression spring with shapes is provided, through which the locking member-side spring end in Interacting with the webs on the pin are positively centered is.

In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den beigefügten Zeichnungen ist die bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Querschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Verschluß;
  • Fig. 2 einen teilweise geöffneten, erfindungsgemäßen Verschluß;
  • Fig. 3 einen Teil eines Verschlusses nach dem Stand der Technik mit fehlerhaft montierter Feder;
  • Fig. 4 einen Querschnitt durch eine Feder gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the following description and the accompanying drawings. The drawings show:
  • 1 shows a cross section through a closure according to the invention.
  • 2 shows a partially opened closure according to the invention;
  • 3 shows a part of a closure according to the prior art with an incorrectly fitted spring;
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section through a spring according to an embodiment of the invention.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Verschluß für Sicherheitsgurte gezeigt, bei welchem in einem lasttragenden Rahmen 14 ein Schwenkriegel 16 gelagert ist, der in seiner Sperrstellung an einer Rastkante einer Steckzunge 10 angreift. Im Rahmen 14 ist ein Sperrglied 20 quer zur Schwenkrichtung des Schwenkriegels 16 zwischen einer Öffnungsstellung, in der es den Schwenkriegel freigibt, und einer Sperrstellung verschiebbar gelagert, in der es den Schwenkriegel in seiner Eingriffsstellung blockiert. Im Rahmen 14 ist auch eine Lösetaste 24 gelagert, durch deren Betätigung das Sperrglied 20 in seine Öffnungsstellung verschiebbar ist. Eine zwischen dem Schwenkriegel 16 und dem Sperrglied 20 angeordnete schraubenförmige Druckfeder 30 stützt sich mit ihrem einen Ende an dem Schwenkriegel 16 und mit ihrem anderen Ende 40 an dem Sperrglied 20 ab und ist in einer Federaufnahme gehalten, die von zwei Stegen 50 des Rahmens 14 begrenzt ist und einen Zapfen 35 am Sperrglied 20 umfaßt. Die Druckfeder 30 beaufschlagt sowohl den Schwenkriegel 16 in seine Öffnungsstellung als auch das Sperrglied 20 in seine Sperrstellung.In Figures 1 and 2 is a fastener for seat belts shown, in which in a load-bearing frame 14th a pivot bolt 16 is mounted, which is in its locked position engages on a locking edge of a tongue 10. in the Frame 14 is a locking member 20 transverse to the pivoting direction of the Swivel lock 16 between an open position in which it releases the swivel bolt, and a locked position stored in which there is the swivel bolt in its Intervention position blocked. In frame 14 there is also one Release button 24 stored, the actuation of the locking member 20 is displaceable in its open position. One between the swivel bolt 16 and the locking member 20 arranged helical compression spring 30 is supported with one End on the pivot bolt 16 and with its other end 40th on the locking member 20 and is held in a spring receptacle, which is limited by two webs 50 of the frame 14 and comprises a pin 35 on the locking member 20. The compression spring 30 acts on both the pivot bolt 16 in its open position and the locking member 20 in its locked position.

Wie am besten in Fig. 3 gesehen werden kann, die einen gattungsgemäßen Verschluß nach dem Stand der Technik darstellt, weist die Aufnahme für die Druckfeder 30 an dem Sperrglied 20 einen Zapfen 35 zur Zentrierung der Druckfeder 30 auf. Bei dieser Gestaltung der Bauteile des Verschlusses kann, wie in der Figur dargestellt, die Druckfeder 30 fehlerhaft montiert werden, so daß sie nicht von dem Zapfen 35 zentriert wird. Sie stützt sich dann auf einem neben dem Zapfen 35 liegenden Abschnitt der der Druckfeder zugewandten Seite des Sperrglieds 20 ab. Eine Fehlmontage dieser Art ist bei der Herstellung dieser Verschlüsse offensichtlich unerwünscht, da durch sie die tatsächliche Federkraft von dem vorgeschriebenen Wert abweichen kann. As can best be seen in Fig. 3, the generic Represents closure according to the prior art, has the receptacle for the compression spring 30 on the locking member 20 on a pin 35 for centering the compression spring 30. With this design of the components of the closure, as shown in the figure, the compression spring 30 is defective be mounted so that they are not centered by the pin 35 becomes. It then leans on one next to the peg 35 lying section of the side facing the compression spring the locking member 20 from. A wrong assembly of this kind is in the manufacture of these closures is obviously undesirable, because through it the actual spring force of that prescribed value may differ.

Um nun eine Fehlmontage der oben beschriebenen Art zu verhindern, sind erfindungsgemäß das sperrgliedseitige Ende der Druckfeder und die Federaufnahme mit Formgestaltungen versehen, durch die das sperrgliedseitige Federende auf dem Zapfen zwangszentriert ist.In order to prevent incorrect assembly of the type described above, according to the invention are the pusher-side end of the Provide compression spring and the spring holder with shapes, through which the locking member-side spring end on the pin is force-centered.

In der bevorzugten und in den Figuren 1, 2 und 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das sperrgliedseitige Ende 40 der Druckfeder 30 flanschartig mit einem größeren Durchmesser als ihre Arbeitswindungen ausgebildet. Dieser größere Durchmesser des Federendes 40 wird durch wenigstens eine weitere, hinsichtlich der Arbeitswindungen der Druckfeder 30 im Durchmesser vergrößerte Windung nach Art einer Führungswindung gebildet, die, wie am besten in Fig. 4 zu sehen ist, im Anschluß an die die Arbeitswindungen abschließende, beigedrückte Windung in der Ebene dieser Windung gebildet ist. Diese im Durchmesser vergrößerte, spiralförmige Windung ist mit nahezu aneinanderliegenden Windungsgängen bis zu einem solchen Außendurchmesser des Federendes 40 ausgeführt, daß im Zusammenwirken mit den Stegen 50 des Rahmens 14 eine Zwangszentrierung des Federendes 40 in der Federaufnahme eintritt. Durch diese Zwangszentrierung wird die in Fig. 3 gezeigte, fehlerhafte Montage des Federendes 40 in der Federaufnahme verhindert.In the preferred and shown in Figures 1, 2 and 4 Embodiment of the invention is the locking member side End 40 of the compression spring 30 with a flange larger diameter than their working turns. This larger diameter of the spring end 40 is through at least one more, regarding the working turns the compression spring 30 after increased winding diameter Kind of a lead turn that is how best in Fig. 4 can be seen, following the working turns final, depressed turn in the plane of this turn is formed. This spiral-shaped, enlarged in diameter Winding is with almost adjacent turns up to such an outer diameter of the spring end 40 executed that in cooperation with the webs 50 of Frame 14 a positive centering of the spring end 40 in the Spring intake occurs. Through this compulsory centering the incorrect assembly of the spring end shown in Fig. 3 40 prevented in the spring mount.
