Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse sowie ein Verschlusselement für derartige Gehäuse mit einer Überschlagsicherung. Derartige Gehäuse finden beispielsweise als Ablagefächer in Kraftfahrzeugen Ver-wendung, siehe zum Beispiel DE-A-19 736 561 oder DE-A-19 906 049. Sind entsprechende Hohlräume zu verschließen, so werden diese mit Deckeln verschlossen, die mittels Verschlusselementen in verschlossenem Zustand gehalten werden. Die vorliegende Erfindung ist jedoch auch in sämtlichen anderen Bereichen anwendbar, bei denen Räume durch Deckel verschlossen werden.The present invention relates to a housing and a closure element for such housing with a rollover protection. Such housings are used, for example, as storage compartments in motor vehicles, see, for example, DE-A-19 736 561 or DE-A-19 906 049. If corresponding cavities are to be closed, they are closed with covers which are closed by means of closure elements being held. However, the present invention is also applicable in all other fields in which spaces are closed by lids.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, ein Gehäuse und ein Verschlusselement hierfür zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem ein Gehäusedeckel sicher verschlossen werden kann. Insbesondere soll die Verriegelung des Gehäusedeckels in abgeschlossenem Zustand gewährleistet werden.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a housing and a closure element for this purpose, with a housing cover can be securely closed. In particular, the locking of the housing cover in the closed state be guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verschlusselement nach Anspruch 1 sowie durch ein Gehäuse nach Anspruch 16 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusselementes und des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses werden in den jeweiligen abhängigen Ansprüchen gegeben.This object is achieved by a closure element according to claim 1 and by a housing according to claim 16. Advantageous developments of the closure element according to the invention and of the housing according to the invention are given in the respective dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Verschlusselement einen Abdeckrahmen auf, der die Einzelteile des Verschlusselementes trägt. Dieser Abdeckrahmen umgibt zumindest bereichsweise die Öffnung des zu verschließenden Gehäuses. Der Abdeckrahmen kann dabei ein einzelnes Element sein, das in das Gehäuse ein- oder aufgebracht wird, er kann jedoch auch einstückig mit dem Gehäuse selbst ausgeführt werden.According to the invention, the closure element has a cover frame which carries the individual parts of the closure element. This cover surrounds at least partially the opening of the housing to be closed. The cover frame may be a single element, which is inserted or applied in the housing, but it can also be made in one piece with the housing itself.

An diesem Abdeckrahmen ist mindestens eine Schließraste angeordnet, die beweglich gelagert ist. Diese Schließraste wird beim Schließen des Deckels vom Deckel zur Seite gedrückt und rastet anschließend in entsprechende Nuten im Deckel ein, um den Deckel in seiner geschlossenen Position zu halten.At this cover frame at least one locking catch is arranged, which is movably mounted. This locking catch is pushed aside the lid when the lid is closed and then snaps into corresponding grooves in the lid to hold the lid in its closed position.

Wird die Schließraste elastisch gelagert, so dass sie eingedrückt werden kann und selbst wieder in ihre ursprüngliche Position sich bewegt, so kann ein Verschluss hergestellt werden, der ohne aktive Betätigung geschlossen und geöffnet werden kann, d. h. bei dem nicht ein Schloss geöffnet werden muss, um den Deckel zu öffnen. Dies wird vorteilhafterweise dadurch erreicht, dass die Schließraste in ihrem Eingriffsbereich jeweils Einführschrägen aufweist, so dass der schließende Deckel auf die eine Einführschräge drückt und damit die Schließraste zur Seite schiebt, wenn der Deckel geschlossen wird. Wird der Deckel geöffnet, so genügt es, an ihm zu ziehen und der Deckel gleitet entlang der zweiten Einführschräge auf der anderen Seite der Schließraste und drückt die Schließraste wiederum in ihr Gehäuse zurück, so dass der Deckel geöffnet werden kann.If the locking catch is mounted elastically so that it can be pressed in and even moves back to its original position, then a closure can be produced which can be closed and opened without active actuation, ie in which a lock does not have to be opened to open the lid. This is advantageously achieved in that the closing catch in each case has insertion bevels in its engagement region, so that the closing cover presses on the one insertion bevel and thus the locking catch to the side pushes when the lid is closed. If the lid is opened, it is sufficient to pull on it and the lid slides along the second insertion bevel on the other side of the closing catch and pushes the locking catch back into its housing, so that the lid can be opened.

Wesentlich ist nun, dass bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusselement ein Verriegelungselement vorgesehen ist, das mindestens eine der Schließrasten verriegelt, wenn das Verschlusselement abgeschlossen werden soll. Die Verriegelung erfolgt dabei über einen manuellen oder motorischen Antrieb z. B. in Verbindung mit einer Zentralverriegelung eines Fahrzeuges, der das Verriegelungselement betätigt. In einer ersten Stellung lässt das Verriegelungselement jede ansonsten mögliche Bewegung der Schließraste zu, so dass das Verschlusselement nicht abgeschlossen ist. In einer zweiten Stellung wird die Schließraste verriegelt, so dass sie nicht mehr zurückgeschoben werden kann. In diesem Falle ist es also nicht mehr möglich, einen bereits geschlossenen Deckel ohne weiteres aufzuziehen.It is essential that in the closure element according to the invention a locking element is provided which locks at least one of the locking catches when the closure element is to be completed. The locking takes place via a manual or motor drive z. B. in conjunction with a central locking of a vehicle which actuates the locking element. In a first position, the locking element allows any otherwise possible movement of the locking catch, so that the closure element is not completed. In a second position, the locking catch is locked so that it can not be pushed back. In this case, it is therefore no longer possible to raise an already closed lid without further notice.

Vorteilhafterweise wird weiterhin ein Entriegelungselement vorgesehen, beispielsweise ein Entriegelungsstift, der die Einnahme der zweiten Stellung des Verriegelungselementes nur dann erlaubt, wenn der Deckel auch wirklich geschlossen ist. Ein derartiges Entriegelungselement stellt einen unabhängigen Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung dar. Bei geöffnetem Deckel wird so verhindert, dass durch eine Fehlbetätigung die Schließrasten nicht mehr eingedrückt werden können und damit der Deckel auch nicht mehr verschlossen werden kann. Erst durch das Verschließen des Deckels wird die Entriegelungsvorrichtung ausgelöst, die dann das Verriegelungselement freigibt, das dann seinerseits die zweite Stellung einnehmen und somit die Schließrasten verriegeln kann. Damit wird automatisch bewirkt, dass bei einem zuvor abgeschlossenen Verschlusselement ein Schließen des Deckels noch ohne weiteres möglich ist, anschließend jedoch der Deckel auch tatsächlich verriegelt bleibt.Advantageously, an unlocking element is further provided, for example, an unlocking pin, which allows the capture of the second position of the locking element only when the lid is really closed. Such an unlocking element constitutes an independent aspect of the present invention. With the lid open, it is thus prevented that the locking catches can no longer be pressed in by a faulty operation and thus the lid can no longer be closed. Only by closing the lid unlocking device is triggered, which then the locking element releases, which in turn take the second position and thus can lock the locking catches. This automatically causes a closure of the lid is still possible without further ado with a previously completed closure element, but then the lid actually remains locked.

Durch diese Einrichtung wird ein sicheres Verschließen des Gehäusedeckels ermöglicht. Beim Abschließen des Fahrzeuges gewährleistet dieses Verschlusselement die Verriegelung des Gehäusedeckels.By this means a secure closing of the housing cover is made possible. When locking the vehicle, this closure element ensures the locking of the housing cover.

Werden vorteilhafterweise zwei Schließrasten nebeneinander eingesetzt, so eignet sich das Verschlusselement auch für Klipp-Klapp-Deckel, d. h. Deckel, die sich um drei Achsen öffnen lassen. In jedem Falle bewirken bereits die beiden Schließrasten die Sicherung des Deckels an zwei Punkten, während der Deckel selbst lediglich noch an einem Punkt drehbar angeschlagen sein muss.If advantageously two locking latches are used side by side, then the locking element is also suitable for clip-hinged lids, d. H. Lids that can be opened by three axes. In any case, already cause the two locking catches securing the lid at two points, while the lid itself must be hinged only at one point rotatable.

Entscheidend an der vorliegenden Erfindung ist weiterhin, dass eine Sicherungsvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die im Falle des Einwirkens großer Kräfte oder Beschleunigungen die Schließraste bzw. die mehreren Schließrasten verriegelt und so, z. B. bei einem Überschlag oder Unfall eines Fahrzeuges, die Schließraste verriegelt, unabhängig davon, ob das Verriegelungselement bereits eine der Schließrasten verriegelt hat oder nicht, d.h. beispielsweise unabhängig von Zustand einer Fahrzeug-Zentralverriegelung. Dies ist insbesondere notwendig, wenn wie hier vorgesehen, der Deckel ohne aktive Betätigung geöffnet werden kann.Decisive to the present invention is further that a securing device is provided which locks in case of the action of large forces or accelerations, the closing catch or the plurality of locking catches and so, z. Example, in a rollover or accident of a vehicle, the locking latch locks, regardless of whether the locking element has already locked one of the locking catches or not, ie, for example, regardless of the state of a vehicle central locking. This is particularly necessary if, as provided here, the lid can be opened without active actuation.

Diese Überschlag- bzw. Crash-Sicherung kann derart ausgeführt sein, dass in einer Pfanne eine Kugel gelagert wird. Gegenüber der Lagerung ist ein Hebel angeordnet, der durch die Kugel bewegt werden kann. Der Hebel besitzt an einem seiner Enden ein Element zum Eingriff in eine Nut in der zugeordneten Schließraste. Der Hebel kann hierzu vorteilhafterweise an einem ersten Ende drehbar angeschlagen sein und an seinem zweiten Ende einen Stift aufweisen, der eine Verzahnung aufweist. Besitzt die Schließraste an entsprechender Stelle ebenfalls eine Verzahnung, z. B. eine Zahnstange, so kann die Verzahnung des Hebels in die Verzahnung der Schließraste eingreifen und so die Schließraste festlegen, wenn der Hebel durch die Kugel betätigt wird.This rollover or crash protection can be designed such that in a pan a ball is stored. Opposite the bearing a lever is arranged, which can be moved by the ball. The lever has at one end thereof a member for engaging a groove in the associated locking catch. For this purpose, the lever can advantageously be hinged at a first end and have at its second end a pin which has a toothing. Does the locking catch at the appropriate place also a gearing, z. As a rack, the teeth of the lever can engage in the teeth of the locking catch and so set the locking catch when the lever is actuated by the ball.

Beim normalen Gebrauch des Fahrzeugs bleibt nun die Kugel in ihrer Pfanne liegen und betätigt nicht den Hebel. Auf diese Art und Weise wird die Schließraste nicht festgelegt und kann daher bewegt werden. Es ist ein normaler Gebrauch des Deckels möglich.During normal use of the vehicle, the ball now remains in its pan and does not actuate the lever. In this way, the locking catch is not fixed and can therefore be moved. It is possible a normal use of the lid.

Bei einem Überschlag des Fahrzeugs oder einem Aufprall des Fahrzeugs, wird die Kugel aus der Pfanne geschleudert und drückt auf den gegenüberliegenden Hebel, so dass dieser mit einem Ende in die entsprechende Verzahnung in der Schließraste eingreift und diese verriegelt. So wird z. B. bei einem Unfall bewirkt, dass der Deckel nicht aufgehen kann.In a rollover of the vehicle or a collision of the vehicle, the ball is thrown out of the pan and presses on the opposite lever so that it engages with one end in the corresponding teeth in the locking catch and locks them. So z. B. causes an accident that the lid can not rise.

Vorteilhaft an der vorliegenden Erfindung ist also, dass ein Öffnen des Deckels im Falle eines Überschlages oder Unfalls verhindert wird.An advantage of the present invention is therefore that opening of the lid in the event of a rollover or accident is prevented.

Weiterhin wird eine einfache Montage der Verschlusseinzelteile bzw. des Verschlusselementes ermöglicht.Furthermore, a simple assembly of the closure parts or the closure element is made possible.

Der Abdeckrahmen, an dem die weiteren Elemente des Verschlusselementes angeordnet sind, ermöglicht bei der Montage einen Toleranzausgleich zwischen Gehäuse und Deckel.The cover, on which the other elements of the closure element are arranged, allows a tolerance compensation between housing and cover during assembly.

Zuletzt wird durch den hier beschriebenen Verschlussmechanismus jede Fehlbetätigung des Verschlusselementes verhindert.Finally, any mishandling of the closure element is prevented by the closure mechanism described herein.

Hier und im folgenden werden für gleiche und ähnliche Elemente gleiche und ähnliche Bezugszeichen verwendet, so dass deren Beschreibung bei den folgenden Figuren teilweise nicht wiederholt wird.Here and below, the same and similar reference numerals are used for the same and similar elements, so that their description is not repeated in the following figures in part.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Verschlusselement für ein Handschuhfach eines Fahrzeugs in der Ansicht von schräg oben. Mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 ist dabei ein Abdeckrahmen bezeichnet, der die Öffnung eines Gehäuses zumindest bereichsweise umfasst. An diesem Abdeckrahmen ist senkrecht hierzu eine Anschlagsschiene 2 angeordnet. Diese Anschlagsschiene 2 wird von Schließrasten 3a und 3b sowie einem Entriegelungsstift 12 durchbrochen. Diese drei Elemente, sämtlich federnd gelagert, ragen in den Bereich, der von einem Deckel verschlossen wird, so dass beim Schließen des Deckels die Schließrasten 3a und 3b sowie der Entriegelungsstift 12 zurückgedrückt werden.Fig. 1 shows an inventive closure element for a glove box of a vehicle in the view obliquely from above. The reference numeral 1 denotes a cover frame, which comprises the opening of a housing at least partially. At this cover frame a stop rail 2 is arranged perpendicular thereto. This stop rail 2 is broken by locking catches 3a and 3b and a release pin 12. These three elements, all spring-mounted, protrude into the area which is closed by a lid, so that when closing the lid, the locking catches 3a and 3b and the release pin 12 are pushed back.

Auf der anderen Seite der Anschlagsschiene 2 sind Gehäuse 4a und 4b für die Schließrasten 3a, 3b angeordnet. Oberhalb der Schließrasten 3a und 3b erstreckt sich von einer der Schließrasten zur anderen eine Verriegelungsstange 5, die in in den Gehäusen 4a, 4b angeordneten Nuten 11a, 11b läuft. Diese Verriegelungsstange 5 besitzt zwei nach unten ragende Eingriffselemente 6a, 6b, die benachbart zu den Schließrasten 3a und 3b angeordnet sind.On the other side of the stop rail 2 housings 4a and 4b for the locking catches 3a, 3b are arranged. Above the locking catches 3a and 3b extends from one of the locking catches to the other a locking rod 5, which runs in the housings 4a, 4b arranged grooves 11a, 11b. This locking bar 5 has two downwardly projecting engaging elements 6a, 6b, which are arranged adjacent to the locking catches 3a and 3b.

Die Entriegelungsstange wird durch einen elektrischen Antrieb 7, der von der Zentralverriegelung des Fahrzeugs gesteuert wird, über von diesem bewegte Mitnehmer 8 zwischen zwei Positionen hin und her bewegt. Der Antrieb 7 ist dabei in einem Gehäuse 19 angeordnet, das Teil des Verschlusselementes ist. In die Mitnehmer 8 sind zwei Federn 9a und 9b eingehängt, die jeweils seitlich von den Mitnehmern in Bewegungsrichtung der Verriegelungsstange 5 sich erstrecken und in zwei Aufnahmen 10a und 10b für die Federn eingehängt sind, die einstückig mit der Verriegelungsstange ausgeführt sind. Wird nun der Mitnehmer 8 durch den Motor 7 nach links bewegt, so bewegt sich auch die Verriegelungsstange nach links in eine erste Stellung. In dieser Stellung sind die Eingriffselemente 6a und 6b maximal ausgerückt, so dass sie nicht in Eingriff mit Nuten 25a, 25b (s. Fig. 6) in den in den Gehäusen 6a und 6b geführten Schließrasten 3a und 3b treten. Die Schließrasten 3a und 3b sind also in ihren Gehäusen 4a, 4b voll beweglich. Wird der Mitnehmer 8 nach rechts bewegt, so bewegt sich auch die Verriegelungsstange 5 in Richtung der Schließraste 3b. Dadurch werden die Eingriffselemente 6a und 6b durch Öffnungen in die Gehäuse 4a, 4b eingeführt und greifen dort in Nuten 25a, 25b ein, die in den Schließrasten 3a, 3b angeordnet sind. Die Schließrasten 3a und 3b werden in der so definierten zweiten Stellung der Verriegelungsstange 5 also festgelegt.The unlocking rod is powered by an electric drive 7, which is from the central locking of the vehicle is controlled, moved by this moving carrier 8 between two positions back and forth. The drive 7 is arranged in a housing 19 which is part of the closure element. In the driver 8 two springs 9a and 9b are mounted, each extending laterally from the drivers in the direction of movement of the locking bar 5 and are suspended in two receptacles 10a and 10b for the springs, which are integral with the locking bar. Now, if the driver 8 is moved by the motor 7 to the left, then the locking rod moves to the left in a first position. In this position, the engagement members 6a and 6b are maximally disengaged so that they do not engage with grooves 25a, 25b (see Fig. 6) in the lock pawls 3a and 3b guided in the housings 6a and 6b. The locking catches 3a and 3b are thus fully movable in their housings 4a, 4b. If the driver 8 is moved to the right, the locking rod 5 also moves in the direction of the locking catch 3b. Thereby, the engaging elements 6a and 6b are inserted through openings in the housings 4a, 4b and there engage in grooves 25a, 25b, which are arranged in the locking catches 3a, 3b. The locking catches 3a and 3b are thus defined in the second position of the locking rod 5 thus defined.

Die Funktion des Entriegelungsstiftes 12, der hier eine Rolle spielt, wird weiter unten detaillierter beschrieben.The function of the unlocking pin 12, which plays a role here, will be described in more detail below.

Weiterhin ist im Bereich der Schließraste 3 eine Überschlags- und Crash-Verriegelung 17 über ein Befestigungselement 18 an dem Schließelement angeordnet. Diese Überschlagssicherung 17 wird ebenfalls weiter unten im Detail beschrieben.Furthermore, in the area of the closing catch 3, a rollover and crash lock 17 is arranged on the closing element via a fastening element 18. This rollover protection 17 will also be described in detail below.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf das Verschlusselement von links oben (unter Bezug auf Fig. 1).FIG. 2 shows a top view of the closure element from the top left (with reference to FIG. 1).

Wie deutlich zu erkennen ist, besitzen die Schließrasten 3a und 3b zwei Schrägen 20a, 20b bzw. 21a, 21b. Diese Einführschrägen verlaufen unter verschiedenen Winkeln. Ein Deckel der geschlossen werden soll, nähert sich von oben den Schließrasten 3a und 3b und drückt auf die flacheren Einführschrägen 21a, 21b. Dadurch werden die Schließrasten 3a, 3b senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene nach hinten in ihre Gehäuse 4a, 4b gedrückt, so dass der Deckel geschlossen werden kann. Zum Öffnen des Deckels ist es lediglich erforderlich an diesem zu ziehen, da er dann auf die unteren, steileren Schrägen 20a, 20b drückt und ebenfalls die Schließrasten 3a und 3b senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene nach hinten drückt. In jedem Falle sind in dem Deckel zwei zu den Schließrasten 3a und 3b korrespondierende Vertiefungen bzw. Nuten vorzusehen, in die die Schließrasten 3a und 3b im geschlossenen Zustand eintreten und damit den Deckel sicher verschließen können.As can be clearly seen, the locking catches 3a and 3b have two bevels 20a, 20b and 21a, 21b. These chamfers run at different angles. A lid to be closed approaches from above the locking catches 3a and 3b and presses on the flatter insertion bevels 21a, 21b. Thereby, the locking catches 3a, 3b are pressed perpendicular to the plane of the drawing to the rear in their housing 4a, 4b, so that the lid can be closed. To open the lid, it is only necessary to pull on this, since he then presses on the lower, steeper slopes 20a, 20b and also presses the locking catches 3a and 3b perpendicular to the plane of the drawing to the rear. In any case, two recesses or grooves corresponding to the locking catches 3a and 3b are provided in the cover into which the locking catches 3a and 3b enter in the closed state and thus can securely close the cover.

Wie in Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, weist der Entriegelungsstift 12 einen Mitnehmer 22 auf, der in die Federaufnahme 10b eingreift. Die Federaufnahme 10b stellt daher einen Anschlag dar, der durch den Mitnehmer 22 betätigt werden kann.As can be seen in Fig. 2, the unlocking pin 12 has a driver 22 which engages in the spring seat 10b. The spring receptacle 10b therefore represents a stop which can be actuated by the driver 22.

Weiterhin ist in Fig. 2 der Gehäusedeckel 19 für den darin eingeschlossenen Elektromotor 7 dargestellt. Seitlich aus dem Gehäusedeckel ragt die Buchse 7a der elektrischen Kontaktierung des Elektromotors 7 hervor.Furthermore, FIG. 2 shows the housing cover 19 for the electric motor 7 enclosed therein. Laterally protrudes from the housing cover, the socket 7a of the electrical contacting of the electric motor 7.

In Fig. 2 ist auch die Überschlagssicherung 17 dargestellt. Diese weist eine Pfanne 30 auf, in der eine Kugel 31 gelagert ist. Die Kugel 31 ist von einem Hebel 32 abgedeckt, an dessen einem Ende ein Stift 33 befestigt ist. Dieser Stift weist an seiner oberen Spitze eine Verzahnung auf, die mit einer entsprechenden Verzahnung 34 (s. Fig. 7) der Schließraste 3a in Eingriff gebracht werden kann. Im Falle eines Crashs wird die Kugel nach oben gedrückt, wodurch auch der Hebel 32 und der Stift 33 sich nach oben bewegen und die Schließraste 3a dann verriegeln. Der Hebel 32 und der Stift 33 lagern in einer Führung 38, so dass der Eingriff der beiden Verzahnungen am Ende des Stiftes 33 sichergestellt ist.In Fig. 2, the rollover protection 17 is shown. This has a pan 30, in which a ball 31 is mounted. The ball 31 is covered by a lever 32, at one end of a pin 33 is attached. This pin has at its upper tip a toothing, which can be brought into engagement with a corresponding toothing 34 (see Fig. 7) of the locking catch 3a. In the event of a crash, the ball is pushed upwards, whereby also the lever 32 and the pin 33 move upwards and then lock the locking catch 3a. The lever 32 and the pin 33 are stored in a guide 38, so that the engagement of the two gears is ensured at the end of the pin 33.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf Teile des erfindungsgemäßen Verschlusselementes in einer Zwischenposition von oben. Wie in Fig. 1 sind auch in Fig. 3 wiederum die Schließrasten 3a und 3b in vollständig ausgerücktem Zustand dargestellt. Auch der Sicherungsstift 12 ist nicht eingedrückt, d. h. das System ist mit geöffnetem Deckel dargestellt. Mit den Bezugszeichen 23a, 23b und 23c sind Rasten bezeichnet, mit denen das Gehäuse 19, das den Elektroantrieb 7 umgreift, sicher verschlossen werden kann. Hierdurch ist eine Öffenbarkeit des Gehäuses gegeben, so dass beispielsweise defekte Elektroantriebe 7 einfach ausgetauscht werden können.Fig. 3 shows a plan view of parts of the closure element according to the invention in an intermediate position from above. As in Fig. 1, the locking catches 3a and 3b are also shown in Fig. 3 in the fully disengaged state. Also, the locking pin 12 is not pressed, d. H. the system is shown with the lid open. Reference numerals 23a, 23b and 23c designate notches with which the housing 19, which surrounds the electric drive 7, can be securely closed. As a result, a Öffenbarkeit of the housing is given, so that, for example, defective electric drives 7 can be easily replaced.

In Fig. 3 ist nun dargestellt, dass der Entriegelungsstift 12 über eine Feder 14 in einem Lager 13 gelagert ist. Die Feder 14 sorgt dafür, dass der Entriegelungsstift immer maximal ausgerückt ist, sofern er nicht aktiv eingedrückt wird. In diesem Zustand blockiert der Mitnehmer 22 (siehe Fig. 2) die Verriegelungsstange 5 derart, dass diese nicht vollständig die zweite Stellung erreichen kann, in der ihre Eingriffselemente 6a bzw. 6b in die entsprechenden Nuten 25a, 25b in den Schließrasten 3a, 3b eingreifen könnten. Dies bedeutet, dass bei geöffnetem Deckel eine fehlerhafte Verriegelung der Schließrasten 3a bzw. 3b durch ein Betätigen der Zentralverriegelung verhindert wird. Eine fehlerhafte Betätigung und damit eine Blockade des geöffneten Deckels bei dem Versuch, diesen zu verschließen, wird dadurch verhindert.In Fig. 3 it is now shown that the unlocking pin 12 is mounted via a spring 14 in a bearing 13. The spring 14 ensures that the release pin is always disengaged maximum, if it is not actively pressed. In this state, the driver 22 (see Fig. 2) blocks the locking bar 5 so that it is not complete reach the second position, in which their engagement elements 6a and 6b could engage in the corresponding grooves 25a, 25b in the locking catches 3a, 3b. This means that with the cover open, incorrect locking of the locking catches 3a or 3b is prevented by actuating the central locking. A faulty operation and thus a blockage of the open lid in an attempt to close this is prevented.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Ansicht des Verschlusselementes von unten. Gut zu erkennen ist hierbei die bohrungsartige Führung 15 für den Entriegelungsstift 12. Weiterhin ist die Überschlagssicherung 17 von unten dargestellt einschließlich der Halterung 40 zur Befestigung der Überschlagssicherung an dem Gehäuse 4a der Schließraste 3a.Fig. 4 shows a view of the closure element from below. Good to see here is the hole-like guide 15 for the release pin 12. Furthermore, the rollover protection 17 is shown from below including the holder 40 for securing the rollover protection to the housing 4a of the locking catch 3a.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Schnitt durch das erfindungsgemäße Schließsystem, wobei der Schnitt hier lediglich teilweise durchgeführt wurde, nämlich durch die Gehäuse 4a und 4b sowie durch die Führung 15.5 shows a section through the locking system according to the invention, wherein the section has only been partially performed here, namely by the housings 4a and 4b and by the guide 15.

Hier ist zu erkennen, dass die Schließrasten 3a und 3b innerhalb ihrer Gehäuse 4a und 4b durch die entsprechenden Wandungen der Gehäuse 4a und 4b geführt werden. Die Schließrasten 3a und 3b besitzen dabei sich in die Gehäuse 4a und 4b erstreckende Wandungen 24a bzw. 24b. Weiterhin weist jede Schließraste 3a bzw. 3b einen Führungsstift 27a bzw. 27b auf, der über eine Feder 28a, 28b auf einem Lager 29a bzw. 29b abgestützt wird. Hierdurch wird gewährleistet, dass normalerweise die Schließrasten 3a und 3b immer versuchen, aus ihrem Gehäuse in Richtung der Öffnung auszurücken. Ein vollständiges Ausrücken der Schließrasten 3a und 3b wird verhindert durch die seitlichen als Anschläge ausgeführten Flansche 26a, 26a' bzw. 26b, 26b', die im maximal ausgerückten Zustand der Schließrasten 3a und 3b in Eingriff mit Vorsprüngen in der Wandung der Gehäuse 4a und 4b treten. Das Gehäuse 4a bzw. 4b besitzt weiterhin jeweils eine Öffnung 16a bzw. 16b, durch die der jeweilige Führungsstift 27a bzw. 27b beim Eindrücken der Schließrasten aus dem Gehäuse 4a bzw. 4b austreten kann.Here it can be seen that the locking catches 3a and 3b are guided within their housings 4a and 4b through the corresponding walls of the housings 4a and 4b. The locking catches 3a and 3b have walls 24a and 24b which extend into the housings 4a and 4b. Furthermore, each locking catch 3a and 3b on a guide pin 27a and 27b, which is supported by a spring 28a, 28b on a bearing 29a and 29b. This ensures that normally the locking catches 3a and 3b always try to disengage from their housing in the direction of the opening. Complete disengagement of the locking catches 3a and 3b is prevented by the lateral flanges 26a, 26a 'and 26b, 26b' designed as stops, which in the maximum disengaged state of the locking catches 3a and 3b engage with projections in the wall of the housings 4a and 4b. The housing 4a or 4b further has in each case an opening 16a or 16b, through which the respective guide pin 27a or 27b can emerge from the housing 4a or 4b when the locking catches are pressed in.

Weiterhin ist in dieser Figur zu erkennen, dass die Wandungen 24a und 24b' jeweils eine Aussparung bzw. Nuten 25a bzw. 25b aufweisen, in die die Eingriffselemente 6a bzw. 6b der Verriegelungsstange 5 in der zweiten Stellung der Verriegelungsstange 5 eingreifen und so die Schließrasten 3a und 3b festlegen können.Furthermore, it can be seen in this figure that the walls 24a and 24b 'each have a recess or grooves 25a and 25b, in which engage the engaging elements 6a and 6b of the locking bar 5 in the second position of the locking bar 5 and so the locking latches 3a and 3b can set.

Dies ist nochmals deutlicher in Figur 6 dargestellt, wo zu erkennen ist, dass sich die Verriegelungsstange 5 noch nicht in der zweiten Stellung befindet, da das Eingriffselement 6a noch nicht in die Aussparung 25a in der Schließraste 3a eingreift. Die Schließraste 3a ist also noch innerhalb des durch die Flansche 26a, 26a' vorgegebenen Weges voll beweglich.This is shown even more clearly in FIG. 6, where it can be seen that the locking rod 5 is not yet in the second position, since the engagement element 6a does not yet engage in the recess 25a in the closing catch 3a. The closing catch 3a is therefore still fully movable within the path defined by the flanges 26a, 26a '.

Figur 7 zeigt eine detaillierte Darstellung der Überschlags- bzw. Crashsicherung 17, die die Schließraste 3a im Falle der Einwirkung großer Kräfte oder hoher Beschleunigung auf das Verschlusselement verriegeln soll.Figure 7 shows a detailed representation of the rollover or crash protection 17, which is intended to lock the locking catch 3a in the case of the action of large forces or high acceleration on the closure element.

Es ist wiederum zu erkennen, dass die Sicherung 17 eine Pfanne 30 aufweist, die eine Kugel trägt. Die Kugel ist auf ihrer anderen Seite durch einen Hebel 32, der ebenfalls im Bereich der Kugel pfannenartig erweitert sein kann, abgedeckt. Dieser Hebel 32 ist mit einem Drehgelenk 35 an einem seiner Enden drehbar gelagert.It can be seen again that the fuse 17 has a pan 30 which carries a ball. The ball is covered on its other side by a lever 32, which may also be pan-like expanded in the sphere. This lever 32 is rotatable with a hinge 35 at one of its ends stored.

Die Pfanne bildet also ein Unterteil und der Hebel 32 ein Oberteil für den Einschluss der Kugel. Das Unterteil erstreckt sich nun zu beiden Seiten der Pfanne 30 und bildet am gelagerten Ende des Hebels 32 eine Aufnahme 36a für eine Feder, der eine entsprechende Aufnahme 36b an dem gelagerten Ende des Hebels 32 entspricht. Diese beiden Aufnahmen 36a und 36b dienen der Lagerung einer Feder, die im normalen Zustand den Hebel auf die Kugel aufdrückt. Am anderen Ende ist der Hebel 32 über einen Führungsstift 39 in einer Führung 38 gelagert, die lediglich eine vertikale Bewegung des Hebels in Richtung der Schließtaste 3a zulässt. Diese Führung 38 ist ein Teil des Unterteils der Kugelaufnahme. Am selben Ende des Hebels 32 steht in Richtung der Schließraste 3a ein Stift 33 ab, der an seinem freien Ende eine Zahnung trägt. Die Schließraste 3a besitzt ihrerseits an ihrer Unterseite eine Kette von Zähnen bzw. zahnartige Vertiefungen 34, die mit der Zahnung des Stiftes 33 korrespondiert.The pan thus forms a lower part and the lever 32 is an upper part for the inclusion of the ball. The lower part now extends to both sides of the pan 30 and forms at the supported end of the lever 32 a receptacle 36a for a spring which corresponds to a corresponding receptacle 36b at the supported end of the lever 32. These two receptacles 36a and 36b serve to support a spring, which in the normal state presses the lever onto the ball. At the other end, the lever 32 is mounted via a guide pin 39 in a guide 38, which allows only a vertical movement of the lever in the direction of the closing button 3a. This guide 38 is a part of the lower part of the ball socket. At the same end of the lever 32 is in the direction of the locking catch 3a, a pin 33 from which carries a toothing at its free end. The locking catch 3a in turn has on its underside a chain of teeth or tooth-like recesses 34, which corresponds to the toothing of the pin 33.

Es soll hier betont werden, dass als oder statt eines Stiftes 33 jede Art von Element jeglicher Form vorgesehen werden kann, das an seiner Oberseite zum Eingriff in entsprechende Aussparungen der Schließraste 3a geeignet ist.It should be emphasized here that instead of a pin 33 any type of element of any shape can be provided which is suitable on its upper side for engagement in corresponding recesses of the locking catch 3a.

Im Falle eines Unfalls oder Überschlags wirkt nun auf die Kugel eine starke Kraft ein, so dass die Kugel entgegen der Kraft der Feder 37 den Hebel 32 nach oben bewegt und so den Stift 33 in Eingriff mit der Zahnung 34 an der Unterseite der Schließraste 3a bringt. Dadurch ist während des Unfalls dann die Schließraste 3a verriegelt, so dass ein mit der Schließraste 3a gesicherter Deckel sich nicht öffnen kann.In the event of an accident or rollover now acts on the ball a strong force, so that the ball against the force of the spring 37 moves the lever 32 upwards and so brings the pin 33 into engagement with the teeth 34 on the underside of the locking catch 3a , As a result, then the lock catch 3a is locked during the accident, so that one with the Locking latch 3a secured lid can not open.

Figur 8 zeigt eine weitere Ansicht der Sicherungsvorrichtung 17 von der entgegengesetzten Seite verglichen mit Figur 7. Es sind wiederum die Halterungselemente 40 zu erkennen, mit denen die Sicherungsvorrichtung 17 an dem Gehäuse 4a der Schließraste 3a befestigt ist. In dieser Ansicht ist nun auch die Kugel 31 zu erkennen, die zwischen der Pfanne 30 und dem pfannenartig erweiterten Hebel 32 gelagert ist.FIG. 8 shows a further view of the securing device 17 from the opposite side compared to FIG. 7. Once again, the securing elements 40 can be seen, with which the securing device 17 is fastened to the housing 4a of the closing catch 3a. In this view, now also the ball 31 can be seen, which is mounted between the pan 30 and the pan-like extended lever 32.

    the unlocking element (12) is an unlocking pin which is mounted flexibly lengthwise and which is positioned in such a way that it can be moved in the same manner as the at least one closure catch (3a, 3b) and takes up the first position when not depressed and the second position when depressed.
  11. Closing element as in the preceding claim,
    characterised in that
    the unlocking pin (12) has a first catch (22) which, during the transition from the second position to the first position, takes hold of a second catch (10b) positioned on the locking element (5) and carries the locking element (5) into the third position or, in the first position when the locking element (5) is moved from the first position towards the second position, engages with the second catch (10b) when the third position is reached, and prevents the further movement of the locking element (5).
  12. Closing element as in one of the preceding claims,
    characterised in that
    at least two closure catches (3a, 3b) are positioned beside each other, one only or both of the closure catches (3a, 3b) being lockable, or locked, by the locking element (5) and / or the safety device (17).
  13. Closing element as in one of the preceding claims,
    characterised in that
    the closure catches (3a, 3b) each have, at one end on two opposite sides, a guide bevel (20a, 20b, 21a, 21 b).
  14. Closing element as in one of the preceding claims,
    characterised by
    a power-operated actuator (7) for moving the locking element (5) between the first and second positions.
  15. Casing with an opening, and a lid for closing the opening, comprising a closing element as in one of claims 1 to 7 or 13 or 14, the at least one closure catch being positioned along the perimeter edge of the opening and being mounted in such a manner that when the lid is closed, the closure catch (3a, 3b) is pressed into the frame (1), and at least one depression being positioned on the lid, which depression accepts the closure catch (3a, 3b) when the lid is in the closed condition.
  16. Casing as in claim 15,
    characterised by
    an unlocking element (12) which is movably mounted on the frame along the perimeter edge of the opening in such a manner that, when the lid is closed, the unlocking element (12) is pressed into the frame (1) and takes up a second position, whereby it protrudes out from the frame (1) when in the non-depressed condition and takes up a first position, whereby it operates in conjunction with the locking element (5) in such a manner that in the first position the locking element (5) is unable to take up the second position, and in the second position the movement of the locking element (5) is not restricted.
  17. Casing as in the preceding claim,
    characterised in that
    when the unlocking element (12) is in the first position, the locking element takes up, instead of the second position, a third position like the first position between the first position and the second position, in which the closure catches (3a, 3b) are not locked by the locking element (5).
  18. Casing as in one of the two preceding claims,
    characterised in that
    the unlocking element (12) is an unlocking pin which is mounted flexibly lengthwise and which protrudes out of the frame (1) in the second position.
  19. Casing as in the preceding claim,
    characterised in that
    the unlocking pin (12) has a first catch (22) which, during the transition from the second position to the first position, takes hold of a second catch (10b) positioned on the locking element (5) and carries the locking element (5) into the third position or, in the first position when the locking element (5) is moved from the first position towards the second position, engages with the second catch (10b) when the third position is reached, and prevents the further movement of the locking element (5).
  20. Casing as in one of claims 15 to 19,
    characterised in that
    at least two closure catches (3a, 3b) are positioned along the perimeter of the casing opening, one or both of the closure catches (3a, 3b) being lockable, or locked, by the locking element (5) and / or the safety device (17).
  21. Use of a closing element or of a casing as in one of the preceding claims to close, or act as, a storage space or similar in means of transport or vehicles, in particular as a glove compartment in motor vehicles.
