Definitions
- the invention relates to a torsion bar door arrester for motor vehicle doors consisting of a locking device which can be attached to a door arrangement part, door or door pillar, and a torsion bar spring which can be attached to the other door arrangement part, the torsion bar spring being formed by a torsion spring bar which is non-rotatably connected to a loading arm and which is the loading arm the locking device assigned to the torsion spring bar is formed by at least two locking rollers rotatably mounted on a respective bearing journal and provided with a peripheral profile.
- Torsion bar door locks are generally characterized in that the braking and holding force is applied by the interaction of a torsion bar spring clamped on one side in a receptacle fixedly fixed to one door arrangement part, door or door pillar, with a latching device likewise fixedly attached and having at least one detent mark having a detent device , wherein the mutual engagement of the locking device and the torsion bar spring takes place in at least one point of a circular path concentric with the door hinge axis. It is completely irrelevant whether the torsion bar door lock as an independent, i.e. is designed to be arranged independently of the door hinges or as a part combined with one of the door hinges to form a structural unit.
- the latching device consists of a part which is oriented transversely to the door hinge axis and is fastened concentrically on its part to the door hinge axis Curved outer circumference with at least one locking mark provided segment, while the torsion bar spring is formed by an S-shaped or C-shaped spring bar, which is clamped via its one bend on the other door arrangement part and interacts with the locking device via its other bend.
- the locking marks of the latching device have been formed by at least partially provided with circumferential profiling abutment rollers in an improved type of torsion bar door arrester .
- One of these known types of door locks (US Pat. No. 3,550,185) provides for further reduction of the noise development resulting from the falling of the loading arm of a torsion bar spring into a latching position that the latching rollers are formed entirely from a plastic material so as to achieve structure-borne sound insulation .
- plastic material such a design of the locking rollers either leads to their premature wear or to extremely high manufacturing costs for the door arrester.
- torsion bar door locks of this type (DE-PS 32 29 766) it was then provided to make the locking rollers forming the locking marks from metal and to provide or arrange them in pairs, in such a way that two at least partially with a peripheral profile provided locking rollers together form a locking mark, which has the advantage that the loading arm of the torsion bar spring is constantly in engagement with one of the locking rollers and therefore abrupt movements of the loading arm into a locking position are avoided.
- Such types of door locks can only guarantee effective noise reduction if a continuous contact of the load arm of the torsion bar spring with the locking rollers is guaranteed over the entire door opening angle.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of improving the torsion bar door arrester of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that noise development as a result of corrosion occurring in the locking roller bearing and as a result of tolerances is excluded.
- latching rollers are mounted on the journals forming their bearing axes with the interposition of bearing bushes at least coated with a maintenance-free, non-metallic material.
- the bearing bushes or their non-metallic part initially form a structure-borne noise decoupling of the locking rollers, with the result that there is a conflict they and the loading arm of a torsion bar spring possibly developing stop noises can not propagate into the body of the latching device and thus also not into the door arrangement part, door or door pillar formed as a hollow body and forming a resonance body.
- the use of a maintenance-free bearing material also prevents the formation of corrosion within the locking roller bearings, so that sound developments, in particular the development of squeaking noises, are also excluded.
- bearing bushes consisting at least partially of an at least limited elastic material, such as non-metallic bearing materials, leads to the exclusion of play development within the locking roller bearings and thus on the one hand to eliminate a source of noise and on the other hand to ensure that the intended stopping points of the door in the opening or closing direction.
- Plastic material is preferably suitable as the non-metallic bearing material, since this material has both structure-borne sound insulation and excellent dry-running properties.
- the bearing bushes consist entirely of a plastic material precipitated with a predominant proportion of fillers, the filler proportion preferably also consisting of a non-metallic material or of a soft metal such as lead or the like. Since the locking roller bearings are not loaded during the baking of the paint on the vehicle body, special stabilization of the bearing bushes is not absolutely necessary.
- a stabilization of the bearing bushes can be advantageous, in particular with regard to a mechanical assembly of the locking rollers including the bearing bushes, which can be achieved in a first embodiment in that the bearing bushes are formed by at least two-layer multi-layer bearing bushings from a built bearing material, at least one layer being made of consists of a non-metallic material and the layer of a non-metallic material is sufficiently strong to effect structure-borne noise decoupling.
- the bearing bushes consist, in a manner known per se, of a metal wire mesh and a coating that precipitates its gaps and covers its surfaces, from a plastic material that can be hollowed out, optionally mixed with a filler material, the metal wire mesh of the bearing bushes consisting of an inside certain
- elastically deformable metal in such a way that a certain, slight elastic deformation of the bearing bushes is possible under the effect of the very high force peaks which suddenly occur during operation of the door arrester at its locking marks.
- the hard stops of the load arm of the torsion bar spring possibly resulting from tolerance deviations can be absorbed on the locking rollers and their forwarding into the door arrangement part can be avoided.
- the bearing bushes are inserted into the bearing of the locking rollers under a predetermined radial pressure, which initially results in the advantage of a play-free mounting of the locking rollers independent of all manufacturing tolerances.
- this measure can also be used Inhibition of the willingness to rotate the locking rollers can be achieved in that an independent further movement of the individual locking rollers after their release is excluded from the load arm of the torsion bar, which also eliminates the use of disc springs or the like.
- a braking means As a braking means.
- the invention is not limited to the use of a specific design of a bearing bush provided at least with a coating made of a non-metallic bearing material, regardless of the preceding presentation of special design forms; rather, the use of any type of bearing bush design can be provided within the scope of the invention, which on the one hand Structure-borne noise insulation and, on the other hand, enable permanent, play-free and corrosion-free storage of the locking rollers.
- the implementation of the invention is likewise not dependent on a specific shape for the bearing bushes, rather the shape of the bearing bushes will expediently have to be based on the properties of the non-metallic bearing material.
- the bearing bushes can therefore be formed by pure cylinder bushes.
- the assembly shown in the drawing consisting of a hinge and a hold-open device, for example for detachable motor vehicle doors, consists of a hinge with two hinge wings 2 and 3 pivotally connected to one another by means of a hinge pin 1, one of which 2 remains on the door body (not shown in the drawing) and the other 3 Can be detachably attached to the door pillar (also not shown in the drawing) and a torsion bar door lock 4.
- the hinge wing 3 can be releasably attached to the door pillar and is formed from a U-shaped sheet metal blank, with the upper leg 5 of the U-shape directed transversely to the hinge axis formed from alternately successive projections 6 and recesses 7 locking device 8 of the door retainer 4 and on the lower, transverse to the hinge axis leg 9 of the U-shape a parallel and in the same direction to a hinge height extension 10 of the Sc hinge pin 1 directed pin-shaped projection is formed.
- the hinge wing 2 has an approximately L-shaped cross-sectional shape and is arranged engaging in the hinge wing 3, whereby it is rotatably connected to the hinge wing 3 by means of its one profile leg via the hinge pin 1 and is fastened to the door via its other profile leg 13.
- the torsion bar door arrester 4 which is connected to the hinge as a unit, has an S-shaped bracket, which is held above its sheep part 14 with the interposition of a bearing shell 15 on the engaging hinge wing 2 and via one Support arm 16 against this supported torsion bar spring, the area bearing the load arm 17 projects beyond the two hinge wings 2 and 3 upwards.
- the loading arm 17 of the torsion bar spring interacts with the locking device 8 of the door arrester 4, which is formed on one leg 5 of the U-shape of the hinge wing 3 and consists of projections 6 and depressions 7 arranged in alternating succession, comprising three locking positions for the door.
- the latching means of the latching device 8, which cooperate with the loading arm 17 of the door arrester, are formed here by three latching rollers 18 which are formed uniformly with one another, each of the latching rollers 18 being rotatably supported about a vertical axis on one of the projections 6 of the latching device 8 via a bearing journal 25.
- the locking rollers 18 are formed uniformly over their entire height and are equipped on both sides of a circular cross-sectional shape formed in a central region 19 with oppositely arranged and symmetrical, radially directed projections 20 and 21, the one radial projection 20 being provided with a latching recess 22 and the other radial projection 21 is wedge-shaped with a smooth surface.
- the latching recess 22 in the radial projection 20 has a contour that corresponds to the circular cross-sectional shape of the loading arm 17 of the torsion bar spring, such that the quarter-circular latching recesses 22 of two adjacent and mutually pivotable latching rollers 7 complement each other to form a semicircular shape.
- the two flank surfaces 23 and 24 of the smoothly wedge-shaped radial projection 21 of each of the latching rollers 18 each form an angle of 97 ° with one another, so that the smoothly wedge-shaped projections 21 of adjacent latching rollers 18 each form a mutual pivoting end stop for the latching rollers 18, which is the maximum possible pivoting angle range of adjacent locking rollers 18 is limited to an angular amount of 97 °.
- the locking rollers 18 are shown in the Embodiment supported by bushings 27 on the respective journal 15. In the embodiment shown schematically and only by way of example in FIG.
- the bearing bushes 27 consist of a metal wire mesh 29 coated with a maintenance-free, non-metallic bearing material, the non-metallic bearing material consisting of a plastic material precipitated with non-metallic fillers and at the same time also filling the gaps 30 of the wire mesh and is anchored in this way to the metal wire mesh 29.
- the metal wire mesh 29 of the bearing bushes consists of a non-ferrous metal that is elastically deformable within certain limits.
- the metal wire mesh 29 only forms a support structure for the coating 28 and it can be seen that the coating 28 on both sides of the metal wire mesh 29 forms a layer separating the metal wire mesh 29 from the bearing walls of the locking rollers.
- the bearing bushes are inserted into the bearing of the locking rollers under a certain radial pressure, which results in bearing locking of the locking rollers that is free of play regardless of any manufacturing tolerances.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Drehstab-Türfeststeller für Kraftwagentüren bestehend aus einer am einen Türanordnungsteil, Tür oder Türsäule, anschlagbaren Rasteinrichtung und einer am anderen Türanordnungsteil anschlagbaren Drehstabfeder, wobei die Drehstabfeder durch einen mit einem Belastungsarm drehsicher verbundenen Torsionsfederstab gebildet ist und wobei die dem Belastungsarm des Torsionsfederstabes zugeordnete Rasteinrichtung durch wenigstens zwei an jeweils einem Lagerzapfen drehbar gelagerten sowie mit einer Umfangsprofilierung versehene Rastrollen gebildet ist.The invention relates to a torsion bar door arrester for motor vehicle doors consisting of a locking device which can be attached to a door arrangement part, door or door pillar, and a torsion bar spring which can be attached to the other door arrangement part, the torsion bar spring being formed by a torsion spring bar which is non-rotatably connected to a loading arm and which is the loading arm the locking device assigned to the torsion spring bar is formed by at least two locking rollers rotatably mounted on a respective bearing journal and provided with a peripheral profile.
Drehstab-Türfeststeller kennzeichnen sich grundsätzlich dadurch, daß die Brems-und Haltekraft durch das Zusammenwirken einer in einer am einen Türanordnungsteil, Tür oder Türsäule, feststehend befestigten Aufnahme einseitig eingespannten Drehstabfeder mit einer am anderen Türanordnungsteil gleichfalls feststehend befestigten und wenigstens eine Rastmarke aufweisenden Rasteinrichtung aufgebracht wird, wobei der gegenseitige Eingriff von Rasteinrichtung und Drehstabfeder in wenigstens einem Punkt einer zur Türscharnierachse konzentrischen Kreisbahn erfolgt. Dabei ist es völlig gleichgültig, ob der Drehstab-Türfeststeller als eigenständige, d.h. von den Türscharnieren unabhängig anzuordnende Baueinheit oder aber als mit einem der Türscharniere zu einer Baueinheit zusammengefaßtes Teil ausgebildet ist.Torsion bar door locks are generally characterized in that the braking and holding force is applied by the interaction of a torsion bar spring clamped on one side in a receptacle fixedly fixed to one door arrangement part, door or door pillar, with a latching device likewise fixedly attached and having at least one detent mark having a detent device , wherein the mutual engagement of the locking device and the torsion bar spring takes place in at least one point of a circular path concentric with the door hinge axis. It is completely irrelevant whether the torsion bar door lock as an independent, i.e. is designed to be arranged independently of the door hinges or as a part combined with one of the door hinges to form a structural unit.
Bei einer ersten und einfachen Bauart solcher Drehstab-Türfeststeller besteht die Rasteinrichtung aus einem quer zur Türscharnierachse ausgerichtet am einen Türanordnungsteil befestigten und an seinem zur Tüscharnierachse konzentrisch gekümmten Außenumfang mit weinigstens einer Rastmarke versehenen Segment, während die Drehstabfeder durch einen S-oder C-förmig gebogenen Federstab gebildet ist, welcher über seine eine Abbiegung am anderen Türanordnungsteil eingespannt ist und über seine andere Abbiegung mit der Rasteinrichtung zusammenwirkt.
Bei dieser einfachen Bauart von Drehstab-Türfeststellern ist mit dem Einfallen der einen Belastungsarm bildenden Abbiegung der Drehstabfeder in die als Rastausnehmung ausgebildete Rastmarke der Rasteinrichtung eine Geräuschentwicklung verbunden, welche sich im Betrieb des Fahrzeuges störend bemerkbar macht. Diese höchst unerwünschte Geräuschentwicklung kann zwar durch eine Verflachung der die Rastmarke bildenden Rastausnehmung vermindert werden, jedoch unter Inkaufnahme einer gewissen Unbestimmtheit des Haltepunktes der Türe in ihrer jeweils festzustellenden Öffnungslage.In a first and simple design of such torsion bar door arresting device, the latching device consists of a part which is oriented transversely to the door hinge axis and is fastened concentrically on its part to the door hinge axis Curved outer circumference with at least one locking mark provided segment, while the torsion bar spring is formed by an S-shaped or C-shaped spring bar, which is clamped via its one bend on the other door arrangement part and interacts with the locking device via its other bend.
In this simple type of torsion bar door arrester, the incidence of the bending of the torsion bar spring forming a load arm into the latching mark of the latching device, which is designed as a latching recess, results in a noise which is noticeably noticeable in the operation of the vehicle. This highly undesirable noise development can be reduced by flattening the latching recess forming the latching mark, but at the same time accepting a certain vagueness of the stopping point of the door in its opening position to be determined in each case.
Um einerseits eine hohe Genauigkeit in der Festlegung und Einhaltung der Haltepunkte der Türe und andererseits zugleich eine Reduzierung der Geräuschentwicklung eines Drehstab-Türfeststellers zu erreichen sind bei einer verbesserten Bauart von Drehstab-Türfeststellern die Rastmarken der Rasteinrichtung durch wenigstens teilweise mit einer Umfangsprofilierung versehene Widerlagerrollen gebildet worden.
Eine dieser bekannten Bauarten von Türfeststellern (US-PS 3 550 185) sieht dabei zur weiteren Reduzierung der aus dem Einfallen des Belastungsarmes einer Drehstabfeder in eine Raststellung resultierenden Geräuschentwicklung vor, daß die Rastrollen insgesamt aus einem Kunststoffmaterial gebildet sind, um so eine Körperschallisolierung zu erreichen. In der Praxis hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß eine solche Ausbildung der Rastrollen, je nach Wahl des Kunststoffmaterials, entweder zu deren vorzeitigem Verschleiß oder aber zu extrem hohen Herstellungskosten für den Türfeststeller führt.In order to achieve high accuracy in determining and maintaining the stopping points of the door on the one hand and at the same time to reduce the noise development of a torsion bar door arrester, the locking marks of the latching device have been formed by at least partially provided with circumferential profiling abutment rollers in an improved type of torsion bar door arrester .
One of these known types of door locks (US Pat. No. 3,550,185) provides for further reduction of the noise development resulting from the falling of the loading arm of a torsion bar spring into a latching position that the latching rollers are formed entirely from a plastic material so as to achieve structure-borne sound insulation . In practice, however, it has been shown that, depending on the choice of plastic material, such a design of the locking rollers either leads to their premature wear or to extremely high manufacturing costs for the door arrester.
In einer verbesserten Ausführungsform von Drehstab-Türfeststellern dieser Bauart (DE-PS 32 29 766) ist dann vorgesehen worden die die Rastmarken bildenden Rastrollen aus Metall herzustellen und jeweils paarweise vorzusehen bzw. anzuordnen, in der Weise, daß jeweils zwei wenigstens teilweise mit einer Umfangsprofilierung versehene Rastrollen gemeinsam eine Rastmarke bilden, woraus der Vorteil resultiert, daß der Belastungsarm der Drehstabfeder ständig mit einer der Rastrollen im Eingriff ist und daher abrupte Einfallbewegungen des Belastungsarmes in eine Raststellung vermieden sind. Solche Bauarten von Türfeststellern vermögen eine wirkungsvolle Geräuschreduzierung aber nur dann zu gewährleisten, wenn eine kontinuierliche Anlage des Belastungsarmes der Drehstabfeder an den Rastrollen über den gesamten Türöffnungwinkel hin gewährleistet ist. Um eine solche kontinuierliche Anlage des Belastungsarmes der Drehstabfeder an den Rastrollen der Rasteinrichtung zu gewährleisten ist in erster Linie eine unbedingte Einhaltung deren gegenseitiger Ausrichtung erforderlich, derart, daß im Verlauf der Öffnungs-bzw. Schließbewegung der Türe der Belastungsarm der Drehstabfeder aus der Umfangsprofilierung der einen lückenlos in die Umfangsprofilierung der benachbarten Rastrolle übergleiten kann, was naturgemäß vorraussetzt, daß eine relative gegenseitige Verdrehung der Rastrollen weder im Verlauf der Öffnungs- noch im Verlauf der Schließbewegung der Türe eintreten kann, d.h. daß die zueinander komplementären Umfangsprofilierungen zweier zueinander benachbarter Rastrollen müssen in beiden Drehrichtungen immer die gleiche, vorbestimmte gegenseitige Ausrichflage zueinander einhalten. Um eine solche zwangsweise gegenseitige Ausrichtung zweier benachbarter Widerlagerrollen zu erreichen sind bereits Vorschläge für entsprechende Gestaltungen der Umfangsprofilierungen sowie zusätzlich eine Abbremsung der Rastrollen mittels in deren Lagerung eingeschalteter Tellerfedern gemacht worden, die im Wesentlichen auch die gewollte bzw. notwendige gegenseitige Ausrichtung benachbarter Rastrollen gewährleisten.In an improved embodiment of torsion bar door locks of this type (DE-PS 32 29 766) it was then provided to make the locking rollers forming the locking marks from metal and to provide or arrange them in pairs, in such a way that two at least partially with a peripheral profile provided locking rollers together form a locking mark, which has the advantage that the loading arm of the torsion bar spring is constantly in engagement with one of the locking rollers and therefore abrupt movements of the loading arm into a locking position are avoided. Such types of door locks can only guarantee effective noise reduction if a continuous contact of the load arm of the torsion bar spring with the locking rollers is guaranteed over the entire door opening angle. In order to ensure such a continuous contact of the load arm of the torsion bar spring with the latching rollers of the latching device, first and foremost compliance with their mutual alignment is necessary, such that in the course of the opening or. Closing movement of the door of the load arm of the torsion bar spring from the circumferential profiling of the one can slide seamlessly into the circumferential profiling of the adjacent locking roller, which naturally presupposes that a relative mutual rotation of the locking rollers can occur neither in the course of the opening nor in the course of the closing movement of the door, ie that the mutually complementary circumferential profiles of two mutually adjacent locking rollers must always maintain the same, predetermined mutual alignment position with respect to one another in both directions of rotation. In order to achieve such a compulsory mutual alignment of two adjacent abutment rollers, proposals have already been made for corresponding designs of the circumferential profiles and additionally braking of the locking rollers by means of disc springs switched on in their storage, which essentially also ensure the desired or necessary mutual alignment of adjacent locking rollers.
Resultierend aus, in der Herstellung von Massenartikeln, wie Kraftwagentürfeststellern, unvermeidlichen Toleranzabweichungen ergibt sich aber auch bei solcherart gestalteten und ausgestatteten Türfeststellern noch eine gewisse Unzulänglichkeit daraus, daß selbst kleine Differenzenzen in den Achsabständen zwischen zwei benachbarten Rastrollen und/oder Toleranzabweichungen in der Grundrißform der Rastrollen selbst zu einer diskontinuierlichen Anlage des Belastungsarmes der Drehstabfeder an den Rastrollen führen, woraus dann wiederum eine, wenn auch etwas verringerte Geräuschentwicklung resultiert, da eine diskontinuierliche Anlage des Belastungsarmes der Drehstabfeder an den einander benachbarten Rastrollen notwendigerweise zu einem Freigang und damit zu Anschlaggeräuschen fährt.
Darüberhinaus haftet allen bekannten Bauarten der hier in Rede stehenden Drehstab-Türfeststeller der Nachteil an, daß an bzw. in den Lagerungen der Rastrollen im Laufe der Zeit zunehmend Verschleiß und Korrosion auftreten, was von allen anderen Ursachen unabhängig, sowohl an sich als auch durch zunehmendes Spiel in den Rastrollenlagerungen zu einer Geräuschbildung in den Lagerstellen selbst fährt.As a result of the inevitable tolerance deviations in the manufacture of mass-produced articles such as motor vehicle door locks, there is still a certain inadequacy in the case of door locks designed and equipped in this way that even small differences in the center distances between two adjacent locking rollers and / or tolerance deviations in the outline shape of the locking rollers itself lead to a discontinuous contact of the load arm of the torsion bar spring with the locking rollers, which in turn leads to a, albeit somewhat reduced, noise development, since a discontinuous contact of the load arm of the torsion bar spring with the adjacent locking rollers necessarily leads to clearance and thus to stop noises.
In addition, all known types of the torsion bar door arrester in question have the disadvantage that wear and corrosion increasingly occur on or in the bearings of the locking rollers over time, which is independent of all other causes, both per se and by increasing Play in the locking roller bearings to a noise in the bearings themselves.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde Drehstab-Türfeststeller der eingangs genannten Bauart dahingehend zu verbessern, daß eine Geräuschentwicklung sowohl infolge in der Rastrollenlagerung eintretender Korrosion als infolge von Toleranzen ausgeschlossen ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving the torsion bar door arrester of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that noise development as a result of corrosion occurring in the locking roller bearing and as a result of tolerances is excluded.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß die Rastrollen unter Zwischenschaltung von mit einem wartungsfreien, nicht metallischen Material wenigstens beschichteten Lagerbuchsen auf den ihre Lagerachsen bildenden Zapfen gelagert sind.
Die Lagerbuchsen bzw. deren nichtmetallischer Anteil bilden dabei zunächst eine Körperschall-Entkoppelung der Rastrollen, mit der Folge daß sich zwisehen ihnen und dem Belastungsarm einer Drehstabfeder möglicherweise entwickelnde Anschlaggeräusche nicht in den Körper der Rasteinrichtung und damit auch nicht in das als Hohlkörper ausgebildete einen Resonanzkörper bildende Türanordnungsteil, Tür oder Türsäule fortpflanzen können. Zugleich verhindert der Einsatz eines wartungsfreien Lagermaterials auch die Entstehung von Korrosion innerhalb der Rastrollenlagerungen, so daß auch hierdurch begründete Geräuschentwicklungen, insbesondere die Entwicklung von Qietschgeräuschen, ausgeschlossen sind. Darüberhinaus führt der Einsatz von mindestens teilweise aus einem zumindest begrenzt elastischem Material, wie nicht metallischen Lagerwerkstoffen bestehenden Lagerbuchsen zum Ausschluß einer Spielentwicklung innerhalb der Rastrollenlagerungen und damit einerseits zur Beseitigung einer Geräuschquelle und andererseits zur Sicherstellung der gleichbleibend präzisen Einhaltung der vorgesehenen Haltepunkte der Türe in Öffnungs- oder Schließrichtung. Als nichtmetallischer Lagerwerkstoff ist dabei vorzugsweise Kunststoffmaterial geeignet, da dieses Material sowohl Körperschall isolierende als auch ausgezeichnete Trockenlaufeigenschaften aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention essentially in that the latching rollers are mounted on the journals forming their bearing axes with the interposition of bearing bushes at least coated with a maintenance-free, non-metallic material.
The bearing bushes or their non-metallic part initially form a structure-borne noise decoupling of the locking rollers, with the result that there is a conflict they and the loading arm of a torsion bar spring possibly developing stop noises can not propagate into the body of the latching device and thus also not into the door arrangement part, door or door pillar formed as a hollow body and forming a resonance body. At the same time, the use of a maintenance-free bearing material also prevents the formation of corrosion within the locking roller bearings, so that sound developments, in particular the development of squeaking noises, are also excluded. In addition, the use of bearing bushes consisting at least partially of an at least limited elastic material, such as non-metallic bearing materials, leads to the exclusion of play development within the locking roller bearings and thus on the one hand to eliminate a source of noise and on the other hand to ensure that the intended stopping points of the door in the opening or closing direction. Plastic material is preferably suitable as the non-metallic bearing material, since this material has both structure-borne sound insulation and excellent dry-running properties.
Für die Erlangung der angestrebten Eigenschaften ist hinsichtlicht des Aufbaues der Lagerbuchsen zunächst nur wesentlich, daß zumindest eine Schicht aus einem nichtmetallischen Werstoff vorhanden ist, welche ausreicht um eine Körperschallisolierung zu bewirken. Es kann daher durchaus vorgesehen sein, daß die Lagerbuchsen insgesamt aus einem mit einem überwiegenden Anteil an Füllstoffen gefällten Kunststoffmaterial bestehen, wobei der Füllstoffanteil vorzugsweise ebenfalls aus einem nichtmetallischen Material oder aber aus einem weichen Metallen, wie Blei oder Ähnlichem, besteht. Da die Rastrollenlagerungen während des Einbrennens der Lackierung der Fahrzeugkarosserie unbelastet sind, ist eine besondere Stabilisierung der Lagerbuchsen nicht zwingend notwendig.With regard to the structure of the bearing bushes, it is initially only essential for attaining the desired properties that at least one layer of a non-metallic material is present which is sufficient to provide structure-borne noise insulation. It can therefore be provided that the bearing bushes consist entirely of a plastic material precipitated with a predominant proportion of fillers, the filler proportion preferably also consisting of a non-metallic material or of a soft metal such as lead or the like. Since the locking roller bearings are not loaded during the baking of the paint on the vehicle body, special stabilization of the bearing bushes is not absolutely necessary.
Vorteilhaft, insbesondere im Hinblick auf eine maschinelle Montage der Rastrollen samt Lagerbuchsen kann aber eine Stabilisierung der Lagerbuchsen sein, was in einer ersten Ausgestaltungsform dadurch erreicht werden kann, daß die Lagerbuchsen durch mindestens zweischichtige Mehrschichtlagerbuchsen aus einem gebauten Lagermaterial gebildet sind, wobei wenigstens eine Schicht aus einem nicht metallischen Material besteht und wobei die Schicht aus einem nichtmetallischen Werkstoff hinreichend stark ist, um eine Körperschallentkoppelung zu bewirken.A stabilization of the bearing bushes can be advantageous, in particular with regard to a mechanical assembly of the locking rollers including the bearing bushes, which can be achieved in a first embodiment in that the bearing bushes are formed by at least two-layer multi-layer bearing bushings from a built bearing material, at least one layer being made of consists of a non-metallic material and the layer of a non-metallic material is sufficiently strong to effect structure-borne noise decoupling.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist jedoch vorgesehen, daß die Lagerbuchsen in an sich bekannter Weise aus einem Metalldrahtgeflecht und einer dessen Lücken ausfällenden sowie dessen Oberflächen überdeckenden Beschichtung aus einem formerhohlungsfähigen, gegebenenfalls mit einem Füllstoffmaterial versetzten Kunststoffmaterial bestehen, wobei das Metalldrahtgeflecht der Lagerbuchsen aus einem innerhalb gewisser Grenzen elastisch verformbaren Metall besteht, derart, daß eine gewisse, geringfägige elastische Verformung der Lagerbuchsen unter der Wirkung der sehr hohen, beim Betrieb des Türfeststellersan dessen Rastmarken schlagartig auftretenden Kraftspitzen möglich ist. Dadurch können die aus Toleranzabweichungen möglicherweise resultierenden harten Anschläge des Belastungsarmes der Drehstabfeder an den Rastrollen aufgefangen und deren Weiterleitung in das Türanordnungsteil vermieden werden.In a preferred embodiment, however, it is provided that the bearing bushes consist, in a manner known per se, of a metal wire mesh and a coating that precipitates its gaps and covers its surfaces, from a plastic material that can be hollowed out, optionally mixed with a filler material, the metal wire mesh of the bearing bushes consisting of an inside certain There are limits to elastically deformable metal in such a way that a certain, slight elastic deformation of the bearing bushes is possible under the effect of the very high force peaks which suddenly occur during operation of the door arrester at its locking marks. As a result, the hard stops of the load arm of the torsion bar spring possibly resulting from tolerance deviations can be absorbed on the locking rollers and their forwarding into the door arrangement part can be avoided.
Im Rahmen der Verwirklichung der Erfindung ist zweckmäßigerweise weiter vorgesehen, daß die Lagerbuchsen unter einer vorbestimmten radialen Pressung in die Lagerung der Rastrollen eingesetzt sind, woraus zunächst der Vorteil einer von allen Herstellungstoleranzen unabhängigen spielfreien Lagerung der Rastrollen resultiert. Zugleich kann über diese Maßnahme aber auch eine Hemmung der Drehwilligkeit der Rastrollen erreicht werden, dahingehend, daß eine selbständige Weiterbewegung der einzelnen Rastrollen nach deren Freikommen vom Belastungsarm der Drehstabfeder ausgeschlossen ist, was zudem noch den Einsatz von Tellerfedern oder dergl. als Bremsmittel erübrigt.Within the scope of realizing the invention, it is expediently further provided that the bearing bushes are inserted into the bearing of the locking rollers under a predetermined radial pressure, which initially results in the advantage of a play-free mounting of the locking rollers independent of all manufacturing tolerances. At the same time, this measure can also be used Inhibition of the willingness to rotate the locking rollers can be achieved in that an independent further movement of the individual locking rollers after their release is excluded from the load arm of the torsion bar, which also eliminates the use of disc springs or the like. As a braking means.
Die Erfindung ist jedoch unabhängig von der voraufgehenden Darlegung besonderer Gestaltungsformen nicht auf die Anwendung einer bestimmten Ausbildung einer wenigstens mit einer Beschichtung aus einem nichtmetallischen Lagermaterial versehenen Lagerbuchse beschränkt, vielmehr kann im Rahmen der Erfindung der Einsatz jeder Gestaltungsart von Lagerbuchsen vorgesehen sein, welche zum einen eine Körperschallisolierung und zum anderen eine dauerhaft spiel- und korrosionsfreie Lagerung der Rastrollen ermöglichen.However, the invention is not limited to the use of a specific design of a bearing bush provided at least with a coating made of a non-metallic bearing material, regardless of the preceding presentation of special design forms; rather, the use of any type of bearing bush design can be provided within the scope of the invention, which on the one hand Structure-borne noise insulation and, on the other hand, enable permanent, play-free and corrosion-free storage of the locking rollers.
Ebensowenig ist die Verwirklichung der Erfindung von einer bestimmten Formgebung für die Lagerbuchsen abhängig, vielmehr wird sich die Formgebung der Lagerbuchsen zweckmäßigerweise nach den Eigenschaften des nichtmetallischen Lagermaterials zu richten haben. Die Lagerbuchsen können daher im einfachsten Fall durch reine Zylinderbuchsen gebildet sein. In verschiedenen Anwendungsfällen kann es jedoch auch vorteilhaft sein, daß die Lagerbuchsen als Kragenbuchsen ausgebildet und mit ihrem Kragen die Unterseite der Rastrollen übergreifend angeordnet sind.The implementation of the invention is likewise not dependent on a specific shape for the bearing bushes, rather the shape of the bearing bushes will expediently have to be based on the properties of the non-metallic bearing material. In the simplest case, the bearing bushes can therefore be formed by pure cylinder bushes. In various applications, however, it may also be advantageous for the bearing bushes to be designed as collar bushings and for their collars to overlap the underside of the locking rollers.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Baueinheit aus Scharnier und Feststeller, beispielsweise für aushängbare Kraftwagentüren, besteht aus einem Scharnier mit zwei vermittels eines Scharnierstiftes 1 schwenkbar miteinander verbundenen Scharnierflügeln 2 und 3, deren einer 2 bleibend an dem in der Zeichnung nicht gezeigten Türkörper und deren anderer 3 lösbar an der in der Zeichnung gleichfalls nicht gezeigten Türsäule befestigbar ist sowie einem Drehstabtürfeststeller 4. Der lösbar an der Türsäule befestigbare Scharnierflügel 3 ist aus einem U-förmig gefalteten Blechmaterialzuschnitt gebildet, wobei an dem oberen, quer zur Scharnierachse gerichteten Schenkel 5 der U-Form eine aus wechselweise aufeinanderfolgenden Vorsprüngen 6 und Vertiefungen 7 gebildete Rasteinrichtung 8 des Türfeststellers 4 ausgeformt und am unteren, quer zur Scharnierachse gerichteten Schenkel 9 der U-Form ein parallel und gleichsinnig zu einer die Scharnierhöhe überragenden Verlängerung 10 des Scharnierstiftes 1 gerichteter zapfenförmiger Vorsprung ausgebildet ist. Der Scharnierflügel 2 weist eine etwa L-förmige Querschnittsform auf und ist in den Scharnierflügel 3 eingreifend angeordnet, wobei er vermittels seines einen Profilschenkels über den Scharnierstift 1 mit dem Scharnierflügel 3 drehbar verbunden und über seinen anderen Profilschenkel 13 an der Türe befestigt ist. Der mit dem Scharnier ist baueinheitlich verbundene Drehstab-Türfeststeller 4 weist eine S-förmige, über ihrem Schafteil 14 unter Zwischenschaltung einer Lagerschale 15 am eingreifenden Scharnierflügel 2 gehalterte und über einen Stützarm 16 gegen diesen abgestützte Drehstabfeder auf, deren den Belastungsarm 17 tragender Bereich die beiden Scharnierflügel 2 und 3 nach oben überragt. Der Belastungsarm 17 der Drehstabfeder wirkt mit der am einen Schenkel 5 der U-Form des Scharnierflügels 3 ausgeformten, aus wechselweise aufeinanderfolgend angeordneten Vorsprüngen 6 und Vertiefungen 7 gebildeten, drei Raststellungen für die Türe umfassenden Rasteinrichtung 8 des Türfeststellers 4 zusammen. Die mit dem Belastungsarm 17 des Türfeststellers zusammenwirkenden Rastmittel der Rasteinrichtung 8 sind hierbei durch drei untereinander gleichförmig ausgebildete Rastrollen 18 gebildet, wobei jede der Rastrollen 18 über einen Lagerzapfen 25 um eine vertikale Achse drehbar auf jeweils einem der Vorsprünge 6 der Rasteinrichtung 8 gelagert ist.
Die Rastrollen 18 sind über ihre gesamte Höhe hin gleichförmig ausgebildet und beiderseits einer in einem zentralen Bereich 19 ausgebildeten kreisrunden Querschnittsform mit einander gegenüberliegend angeordneten und zueinander symetrischen, radial gerichteten Ausladungen 20 und 21 ausgestattet, wobei die eine radiale Ausladung 20 mit einer Rastausnehmung 22 versehen und die andere radiale Ausladung 21 glattflächig keilformig ausgebildet ist. Die Rastausnehmung 22 in der radialen Ausladung 20 weist einen der kreisrunden Querschnittsform des Belastungsarmes 17 der Drehstabfeder entsprechenden Konturverlauf auf, derart, daß sich die jeweils viertelkreisförmigen Rastausnemungen 22 zweier benachbarter und gegeneinander verschwenkbarer Rastrollen 7 zu einer Halbkreisform ergänzen. Die beiden Flankenflächen 23 und 24 der glattflächig keilförmig ausgebildeten radialen Ausladung 21 jeder der Rastrollen 18 schließen jeweils einen Winkel von 97° miteinander ein, so daß die glattflächig keilförmigen Ausladungen 21 benachbarter Rastrollen 18 jeweils einen gegenseitigen Schwenkendanschlag für die Rastrollen 18 bilden, welcher den maximal möglichen Verschwenkwinkelbereich benachbarter Rastrollen 18 auf einen Winkelbetrag von 97°, begrenzt. Die Rastrollen 18 sind im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel über Lagerbuchsen 27 auf dem jeweiligen Lagerzapfen 15 gelagert.
Die Lagerbuchsen 27 bestehen bei der in der Figur 3 schematisch und lediglich beispielweise dargestellten Auführungsform aus einem mit einem wartungsfreien, nicht metallischen Lagerwerkstoff beschichteten Metalldrahtgeflecht 29, wobei der nichtmetallische Lagerwerkstoff aus einem mit nichtmetallischen Füllstoffen gefällten Kunststoffmaterial besteht und zugleich auch die Lücken 30 des Drahtgeflechtes ausfüllt und auf diese Weise am Metalldrahtgeflecht 29 verankert ist. Das Metalldrahtgeflecht 29 der Lagerbuchsen besteht hierbei aus einem innerhalb gewisser Grenzen elastisch verformbaren NE-Metall. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform bildet das Metalldrahtgeflecht 29 lediglich ein Stützgerüst für die Beschichtung 28 und ist erkennbar, daß die Beschichtung 28 beiderseits des Metalldrahtgeflechtes 29 jeweils eine das Metalldrahtgeflecht 29 von den Lagerwandungen der Rastrollen trennende Schicht bildet. Die Lagerbuchsen sind unter einer bestimmten radialen Pressung in die Lagerung der Rastrollen eingesetzt, woraus eine von allen Herstellungstoleranzen unabhängig spielfreie Lagerung der Rastrollen resultiert.The assembly shown in the drawing, consisting of a hinge and a hold-open device, for example for detachable motor vehicle doors, consists of a hinge with two
