Abstract

The invention relates to a hinge, preferably a furniture hinge, comprising a hinge arm which is pivotably supported on a joint axle which is non-displaceably held in a cup-shaped hinge part and which is provided with a tongue projecting beyond the joint axle or with a cam eccentric with respect to the joint axle or with a control edge which slide on a leaf spring whose one end region is held at the pivotable hinge part and which generates a closing torque in the closing region. In accordance with the invention, the leaf spring has at least two portions of different widths, with the at least one narrower portion of the leaf spring passing through a center recess of the hinge arm, with a tongue being cut from the lower edge of said recess. The at least one wider portion of the leaf spring is pressed against the base of the hinge cup by a transversely extending pin and thus fixedly held by a transversely extending pin.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier, vorzugsweise Möbelscharnier, bestehend aus einem Scharnierarm, der auf einer in einem topfförmigen Scharnierteil unverschieblich gehalterten Gelenkachse schwenkbar gelagert und mit einer die Gelenkachse überragenden Zunge versehen ist, die auf einer mit einem Endbereich am schwenkbaren Scharnierteil gehalterten und im Schließbereich ein Schließmoment erzeugenden Blattfeder gleiten.The invention relates to a hinge, preferably furniture hinge, consisting of a hinge arm which is pivotally mounted on a hinged in a cup-shaped hinge part Erten held hinge axis and provided with a hinge axis projecting tongue, which supported on one with an end portion on the hinged hinge part and in the closing area Sliding moment generating leaf spring slide.

Ein aus der DE 36 01 682 A1 bekanntes Scharnier der zuvor angegebenen Art weist eine Blattfeder auf, deren abgebogenes Ende in einem Schlitz des Bodens des topfförmigen Scharnierteils gehalten und deren mittlerer Teil sich gegen einen in den Scharniertopf seitlich hineinragenden Zapfen derart abstützt, dass das federnde Ende der Blattfeder auf eine Steuerkante des Scharnierarms einwirkt. Die seitliche Anordnung der Blattfeder verringert die Breite des Scharnierarms und daher auch die Festigkeit des gesamten Scharniers. Auch die seitliche Anordnung der Blattfeder bedingt, dass diese nur schmal ausgeführt werden kann. Daraus folgt, dass kein großes Schließmoment erzeugt werden kann.One from the DE 36 01 682 A1 Known hinge of the type mentioned above has a leaf spring whose bent end held in a slot in the bottom of the cup-shaped hinge part and whose central part is supported against a laterally projecting into the hinge pot such that the resilient end of the leaf spring on a control edge of the hinge arm acts. The lateral arrangement of the leaf spring reduces the width of the hinge arm and therefore also the strength of the entire hinge. Also, the lateral arrangement of the leaf spring requires that it can be made only narrow. It follows that no great closing moment can be generated.

Aus der US 5,546,633 A ist eine Ausführungsform des eingangs erläuterten Scharniers bekannt, bei der die Blattfedern zweiseitige Zungen aufweisen, die ebenfalls schmal ausgeführt sind und bei der die Blattfeder selbst nur durch eine Niete am Bodenscharniertopf festgehalten ist. Hierdurch ist ebenfalls bedingt, dass die dort offenbarte Blattfeder kein großes Schließmoment ausüben kann. Darüber hinaus benötigt die das Schließmoment erzeugende Blattfeder im Scharniertopf viel Raum, so dass ein derartiges Scharnier für gedrungene Ausführungsformen, die beispielsweise in dünnen Türen erwünscht sind, nicht in Frage kommt.From the US 5,546,633 A an embodiment of the above-explained hinge is known in which the leaf springs have two-sided tongues, which are also made narrow and in which the leaf spring itself is held only by a rivet on the bottom hinge cup. This also requires that the leaf spring disclosed there can not exert a large closing moment. In addition, the leaf-spring-producing leaf spring in the hinge cup requires a lot of space, so that such a hinge is not suitable for squat embodiments, which are desirable in thin doors, for example.

Aus der US 5,604,956 A ist als das Schließmoment erzeugende Federelement eine Drahtfeder vorgesehen, die in aufwendiger Weise unter dem Bodenscharniertopf befestigt ist. Die freien Enden der Drahtfeder ragen aus seitlichen Ausnehmungen in den Innenraum des Scharniertopfes herein und stützen sich an seitlichen Nocken des Scharnierarmes ab. Diese Ausführung ist recht aufwendig und teuer und entspricht in seiner Wirkung einem Scharnier nach dem europäischen Patent EP 0 987 394 B1 , das auf dieselbe Anmelderin wie die vorliegende Erfindung zurückgeht.From the US 5,604,956 A is provided as the closing moment generating spring element, a wire spring which is fastened in a complex manner under the bottom hinge cup. The free ends of the wire spring protrude from lateral recesses in the interior of the hinge cup in and are based on lateral cams of the hinge arm from. This design is quite complex and expensive and corresponds in its effect to a hinge according to the European patent EP 0 987 394 B1 , which is the same assignee as the present invention.

In US 4,716,622 ist eine Blattfeder mit einem schmalen und einem breiten Bereich bekannt, wobei ein Ende des schmalen Bereichs auf die Unterkante des um die Gelenkachse gewickelten Scharnierarms einwirkt, welche so als Steuerkante fungiert. Hierdurch wirkt die Feder nur in kleinen Bewegungsbereich auf die Steuerkante ein, welche zudem lediglich die Dicke des Scharnierarms aufweist. Zudem ist die Blattfeder von einem abgebogenen Lappen und zwei seitlichen, rechtwinklig verlaufenden Bolzen gehalten, wobei sie unter dem Boden des Scharniertopfes gelagert ist und daher eine erforderliche Ausnehmung durchsetzten muss.In US 4,716,622 For example, a leaf spring having a narrow and a wide area is known, one end of the narrow area acting on the lower edge of the hinge arm wound around the hinge axis, thus functioning as a control edge. As a result, the spring acts only in a small range of motion on the control edge, which also has only the thickness of the hinge arm. In addition, the leaf spring is held by a bent tab and two lateral, perpendicular bolts, where it is mounted below the bottom of the hinge cup and therefore must pass through a required recess.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Scharnier mit einfach herzustellenden Bestandteilen, wie Scharnierarm und Scharniertopf, derart weiterzubilden, dass sich in dem topfförmigen Scharnierteil eine das Schließmoment erzeugende Blattfeder raumsparend in einfacher und damit in wirtschaftlicher Art und Weise befestigen läßt, wobei gleichzeitig die Federeigenschaften der Blatt feder zum Erreichen einer besseren Funktion des Scharniers bestmöglich ausgenutzt werden soll.Object of the present invention is to develop a generic hinge with easy-to-produce components, such as hinge arm and hinge cup, such that in the cup-shaped hinge part a closing moment generating leaf spring can save space in a simple and thus economical manner, at the same time the Spring characteristics of the sheet be used to achieve a better function of the hinge in the best possible way.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach besteht ein Scharnier aus einem Scharnierarm, der auf einer in einem topfförmigen Scharnierteil unverschieblich gehalterten Gelenkachse schwenkbar gelagert ist und mit einer die Gelenkachse überragenden Zunge versehen ist, die auf einer mit einem Endbereich am schwenkbaren Scharnierteil gehalterten und im Schließbereich ein Schließmoment erzeugenden Blattfeder gleitet. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Blattfeder mindestens zwei Abschnitte unterschiedlicher Breite auf, wobei der zumindest eine schmalere Abschnitt der Blattfeder eine mittlere Ausnehmung des Scharnierarmes durchsetzt, aus deren unteren Kante eine Zunge ausgeschnitten ist, und dass der zumindest eine breitere Abschnitt der Blattfeder durch einen quer verlaufenden Stift gegen den Boden des Scharniertopfes gedrückt und so festgehalten wird.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Accordingly, there is a hinge of a hinge arm which is pivotally mounted on a non-displaceably held in a cup-shaped hinge part hinge axis and is provided with a hinge axis projecting tongue, which supported on one with an end portion on the hinged hinge part and in the closing area Closing moment generating leaf spring slides. According to the invention, the leaf spring has at least two sections of different width, wherein the at least one narrower section of the leaf spring passes through a central recess of the hinge arm, from the lower edge of a tongue is cut out, and that the at least a wider portion of the leaf spring by a transverse pin against the bottom of the hinge cup is pressed and held so.

Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den sich an den Hauptanspruch anschließenden Unteransprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the subsequent claims to the main claim.

Demnach kann der zumindest eine schmalere Abschnitt der Blattfeder bis zum Übergangsbereich des zumindest einen breiteren Abschnitts der Blattfeder eine länglich ausgebildete Rippe aufweisen. Das bedeutet, dass sich die Rippe längs der Blattfeder erstreckt. Aufgrund dieser sich längs erstreckenden Rippe erfolgt die Biegung der Blattfeder nicht in ihrem engeren Abschnitt, sondern im breiteren Abschnitt, der am Boden des Scharniertopfes gehalten ist. In diesem breiteren Abschnitt und dem zu diesen führenden Übergangsbereich nimmt die Blattfeder eine größere Kraft mit geringerer Biegung aus und ihre Lebensdauer wird von möglichen aus dem Fertigungsverfahren stammenden Mikrobrechungen in keiner Weise beeinflußt. Darüber hinaus können auch Einkerbungen oder Ausschnitte vorhanden sein,die der Feder die gewünschte Form geben und die aber wegen der Rippe die Federkraft nur unwesentlich verringern können.Accordingly, the at least one narrower section of the leaf spring can have an elongated rib up to the transition region of the at least one broader section of the leaf spring. This means that the rib extends along the leaf spring. Because of this longitudinally extending rib, the bending of the leaf spring does not occur in its narrower section, but in the wider section, which is held at the bottom of the hinge cup. In this wider portion and the transition region leading to it, the leaf spring exerts a greater force with less bending and its life is in no way affected by possible micro-fractions originating from the manufacturing process. In addition, notches or cutouts may also be present which give the spring the desired shape and which, however, can only slightly reduce the spring force due to the rib.

Vorteilhaft weist der Boden des Scharniertopfs in dem Bereich, in dem der zumindest eine breitere Abschnitt der Blattfeder angeordnet ist, eine Ausnehmung auf. Der Abstand zwischen dem querverlaufenden Stift und dem Boden kann geringer bemessen sein als die Dicke der Blattfeder. Die Blattfeder kann an ihrem unter dem querverlaufenden Stift liegenden Bereich eine querverlaufende Einbuchtung aufweisen, die gegebenenfalls in die Ausnehmung des Scharniertopfes eintaucht und damit die Blattfeder in ihrer richtigen und zentrierten Stellung hält.Advantageously, the bottom of the hinge cup has a recess in the region in which the at least one broader section of the leaf spring is arranged. The distance between the transverse pin and the bottom may be smaller than the thickness of the leaf spring. The leaf spring can be at her under the Transverse pin area have a transverse recess, which optionally dips into the recess of the hinge cup and thus holds the leaf spring in its correct and centered position.

Die längs verlaufende Rippe kann sich bis zum dreiviertel der Länge des Übergangsbereichs zwischen den zumindest vorhandenen beiden Abschnitten der Blattfeder erstrecken.The longitudinal rib may extend to three-quarters of the length of the transition region between the at least two portions of the leaf spring.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Scharnierarm die Ausnehmung aufweisen, aus deren unteren Kante die Zunge derart ausgeschnitten ist, dass die untere Kante der Ausnehmung neben der ausgeschnittenen Zunge zwei Abschnitte aufweist, auf die sich die Blattfeder in vollständig geöffneter Stellung des Scharniers abstützen kann. Der Abstand der zwei Abschnitte zur Gelenkachse kann gleich oder nur geringfügig größer sein als der Abstand der äußeren Kante der Zunge zu der Gelenkachse. Während sich die Blattfeder also während des Öffnens bzw. Schließens des Scharniers auf der Zunge abstützt, stützt sie sich in der vollständig geöffneten Stellung des Scharniers auf den zusätzlichen beiden Abschnitten ab.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the hinge arm may have the recess, from the lower edge of the tongue is cut out such that the lower edge of the recess next to the cut-out tongue has two sections on which the leaf spring are supported in the fully open position of the hinge can. The distance between the two sections to the hinge axis may be equal to or only slightly greater than the distance of the outer edge of the tongue to the hinge axis. Thus, while the leaf spring is supported on the tongue during the opening or closing of the hinge, it is supported on the additional two sections in the fully open position of the hinge.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann die Blattfeder aus zwei identischen Blattfedern geringer Dicke bestehen. In diesem Fall kann die alternativ zur Verstärkung vorgesehene Rippe entfallen. Auch entsprechende Einbuchtungen bzw. Sicken müssen bei dieser Ausführungsform nicht vorgesehen werden.According to a further preferred embodiment, the leaf spring may consist of two identical leaf springs of small thickness. In this case, the alternative provided for reinforcement rib can be omitted. Also corresponding indentations or beads need not be provided in this embodiment.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Querstift einen unrunden Querschnitt aufweisen. Hierdurch ist der Querstift verstärkt, so dass er sich nicht so einfach durchbiegt wie ein Querstift mit kreisrundem Querschnitt.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the transverse pin may have a non-circular cross-section. As a result, the transverse pin is reinforced, so that it does not bend as easily as a transverse pin with a circular cross-section.

Der Scharnierarm weist bevorzugt in seinem gekrümmten Bereich Ränder auf, die derart geprägt sind, dass sie gegenüber dem mittleren, mit der Ausnehmung versehenen Teil des Scharnierarmes versetzt sind. Diese geprägten Teile liegen also nicht in der gleichen Ebene wie der restliche Teil des Scharnierarmes. Durch diese Prägung wird die Festigkeit des Scharnierarms erheblich verbessert.The hinge arm preferably has, in its curved area, edges that are embossed in such a way that they are offset from the central, recessed part of the hinge arm. These embossed parts are so not in the same plane as the rest of the hinge arm. This embossing significantly improves the strength of the hinge arm.

Das aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 ersichtliche Scharnier besteht im wesentlichen aus einem mit einer Abkröpfung versehenen Scharnierarm 12, der mit seinem unteren eingerollten Ende 14 eine Gelenkachse 28 einfaßt. Die Gelenkachse 28 ist in üblicher Weise in den Seitenwandungen des Scharniertopfes 22 unverschieblich gehaltert. Dieser Scharniertopf 22 ist in üblicher Weise in eine flache Sacklochbohrung beispielsweise einer Tür 8, die über das Scharnier 10 mit einem Möbelkorpus 6 schwenkbar verbunden ist, eingesetzt und mit dieser durch einen Flansch 44 verbunden, der Teil des Scharniertopfs 22 ist (vgl. Figur 4).That from the FIGS. 1 to 3 apparent hinge consists essentially of a provided with an angled hinge arm 12 which engages with its lower rolled end 14 a hinge axis 28. The hinge axis 28 is held immovably in the usual manner in the side walls of the hinge cup 22. This hinge cup 22 is in a conventional manner in a flat blind hole, for example, a door 8, which is pivotally connected via the hinge 10 with a furniture body 6, used and connected thereto by a flange 44, which is part of the hinge cup 22 (see. FIG. 4 ).

Der abgekröpfte Scharnierarm 12 ist in vereinzelter Darstellung in den Figuren 7 und 8 dargestellt. Dieser Scharnierarm 12 weist, wie zuvor bereits ausgeführt, an seinem unteren eingerollten Ende 14, das im eingebauten Zustand die Gelenkachse 28 umfasst, eine mittlere Ausnehmung 16 auf, aus deren unteren Kante eine Zunge 20 ausgeschnitten ist. Die Breite der Zunge 20 ist dabei geringer als die Gesamtbreite der Ausnehmung 16, so dass beiderseits der ausgeschnittenen und zurückgebogenen Zunge 20 kurze Abschnitte 18 im unteren Kantenbereich der Ausnehmung 16 gebildet sind.The cranked hinge arm 12 is in isolated representation in the FIGS. 7 and 8 shown. This hinge arm 12 has, as already stated, at its lower rolled end 14, which includes the hinge axis 28 in the installed state, a central recess 16, from the lower edge of a tongue 20 is cut out. The width of the tongue 20 is less than the total width of the recess 16, so that on both sides of the cut-out and bent-back tongue 20 short sections 18 are formed in the lower edge region of the recess 16.

Wie insbesondere der Figur 8 zu entnehmen ist, ist die Zunge 20 vom eingerollten Ende 14 des Scharnierarms versetzt, so dass seine Herstellung erheblich vereinfacht ist.How the particular FIG. 8 it can be seen, the tongue 20 is offset from the rolled end 14 of the hinge arm, so that its production is considerably simplified.

Wie den Figuren 1 bis 3 zu entnehmen ist, ist an dem der Gelenkachse 28 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Scharniertopfs 22 in dessen Seitenwänden ein Querstift 38 befestigt und zwischen dem Querstift 38 und dem Boden 24 des Scharniertopfs 22 ist eine Blattfeder 30 gehaltert.Like that FIGS. 1 to 3 can be seen, is attached to the hinge axis 28 opposite the end of the hinge cup 22 in the side walls of a transverse pin 38 and between the transverse pin 38 and the bottom 24 of the hinge cup 22, a leaf spring 30 is supported.

In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht zwischen dem Querstift 38 und dem Boden 24 des Scharniertopfs 22 ein geringerer Abstand als derjenige der Dikke der Blattfeder 30. In diesem Bereich weist der Boden 24 des Scharniertopfs 22 eine Ausnehmung 26 auf, deren Breite der Blattfeder 30 entspricht. An dem unter dem Querstift 38 liegenden Teil weist die Blattfeder 30 vorteilhaft eine quer verlaufende Einbuchtung bzw. Sicke 32 auf, die teilweise in die Ausnehmung 26 des Bodens 24 des Scharniertopfs 22 eintaucht und damit die Blattfeder in ihrer korrekten und zentrierten Stellung hält.In the embodiment shown here, there is a smaller distance between the transverse pin 38 and the bottom 24 of the hinge cup 22 than that of the thickness of the leaf spring 30. In this area, the bottom 24 of the hinge cup 22 has a recess 26 whose width corresponds to the leaf spring 30. At the under the transverse pin 38 lying part, the leaf spring 30 advantageously has a transverse recess or bead 32, which partially dips into the recess 26 of the bottom 24 of the hinge cup 22 and thus holds the leaf spring in its correct and centered position.

Die Blattfeder 30 ist vereinzelt in den Figuren 5 und 6 dargestellt. Sie weist im wesentlichen zwei Abschnitte 40 und 42 auf. Der Abschnitt 42 ist ein schmalerer Abschnitt, der in einem Übergangsbereich in den breiteren Abschnitt 40 der Blattfeder 30 übergeht. Der schmalere Abschnitt 42 weist einen gekrümmten Endbereich 36 auf. Längs des schmalen Abschnitts 42 verläuft eine Rippe 34 als Verstärkungsrippe. Diese erstreckt sich bis in ca. dreiviertel der Länge des Übergangsbereichs zwischen den Abschnitten 42 und 40 der Blattfeder 30.The leaf spring 30 is isolated in the FIGS. 5 and 6 shown. It essentially has two sections 40 and 42. The section 42 is a narrower section, which merges in a transition region in the wider portion 40 of the leaf spring 30. The narrower portion 42 has a curved end portion 36. Along the narrow portion 42, a rib 34 extends as a reinforcing rib. This extends to about three quarters of the length of the transition region between the sections 42 and 40 of the leaf spring 30th

In Figur 1 ist das Scharnier in geschlossener Stellung gezeigt, das heißt, dass eine Tür 8 eine Öffnung des Möbelkorpus 6 verschließt.In FIG. 1 the hinge is shown in the closed position, that is, a door 8 closes an opening of the furniture body 6.

In der Figur 2 ist das Scharnier 10 in seiner etwa um 30 ° geöffneten Stellung ersichtlich. Von dieser Stellung her gleitet die Zunge 20 in Öffnungsrichtung längs des gekrümmten Endbereichs 36 der Blattfeder 30, dessen Krümmungsradius dem Abstand der äußeren Kante der Zunge 20 von der Gelenkachse 28 entspricht, so dass die Feder in diesem Schwenkbereich des Scharniers keine Biegung mehr ausführt. Bevor die Zunge 20 jedoch diese Winkelstellung von 30 ° erreicht, stützt sie sich gegenüber der Blattfeder 30 ab, so dass die Blattfeder in diesem Schließbereich ein Schließmoment erzeugt. Dabei bewirkt die Rippe 34 im schmaleren Abschnitt 42, dass die Festigkeit dieses durch die Rippe verstärkten Bereichs erhöht ist, so dass die Blattfeder 30 nur im Bereich des Querstifts 38 verbogen wird. In diesem Bereich ist die Blattfeder breiter ausgebildet, so daß hier eine vergleichsweise größere Kraft mit geringerer Biegung erzeugt werden kann.In the FIG. 2 the hinge 10 is visible in its about 30 ° open position. From this position, the tongue 20 slides in the opening direction along the curved end portion 36 of the leaf spring 30, whose radius of curvature corresponds to the distance of the outer edge of the tongue 20 from the hinge axis 28, so that the spring in this pivotal region of the hinge no longer performs bending. However, before the tongue 20 reaches this angular position of 30 °, it is supported against the leaf spring 30, so that the leaf spring generates a closing moment in this closing region. In this case, the rib 34 in the narrower section 42 causes the strength of this region reinforced by the rib to be increased, so that the leaf spring 30 is bent only in the region of the transverse pin 38. In this area, the leaf spring is wider, so that here a comparatively larger force can be generated with less bending.

In der Figur 3 ist das Scharnier in seiner geöffneten Stellung gezeigt. Da die Zunge 20 durch einfaches Herausbiegen in einfacher Art und Weise hergestellt ist, vermag diese keine besonders großen Stützkräfte der Blattfeder 20 aufzunehmen. In der geöffneten Stellung des Scharniers 10 stützt sich daher die Blattfeder 30 an den seitlich neben der Zunge 20 angeordneten Kanten 18 der Ausnehmung 16 des Scharnierarms 12 ab. Der Abstand dieser Kanten von der Gelenkachse 28 entspricht im wesentlichen dem Abstand der äußeren Kante der Zunge 20 von dieser Gelenkachse 28. Die Abstützung der Feder wird also an der öffnenden Schwenkbewegung von der Zunge 20 an die kurzen Abschnitte 18 im Bereich der Ausnehmung 16 des Scharnierarmes 12 in der in Figur 3 dargestellten maximal geöffneten Stellung weitergegeben, wobei der Blattfeder 30 keine weitere Biegespannung aufgeprägt wird.In the FIG. 3 the hinge is shown in its open position. Since the tongue 20 is made by simply bending out in a simple manner, this is not able to absorb any particularly large supporting forces of the leaf spring 20. In the open position of the hinge 10, therefore, the leaf spring 30 is supported on the side adjacent to the tongue 20 arranged edges 18 of the recess 16 of the hinge arm 12 from. The distance of these edges from the hinge axis 28 substantially corresponds to the distance of the outer edge of the tongue 20 of this hinge axis 28. The support of the spring is thus at the opening pivoting movement of the tongue 20 to the short portions 18 in the region of the recess 16 of the hinge arm 12 in the in FIG. 3 passed shown maximum open position, wherein the leaf spring 30 no further bending stress is impressed.

In der Figur 9 ist eine der Figur 3 entsprechende Darstellung einer alternativen Ausführungsvariante gezeigt. Im Unterschied zu der Ausführungsvariante gemäß Figur 3 besteht hier die Blattfeder 50 aus zwei identischen Blattfederteilen 50' und 50" vergleichsweise geringerer Dicke (vgl. Figur 10, in der die Teile 50' und 50" auseinandergezogen dargestellt sind). Bei dieser Bauart kann auf die in dem Beispiel gemäß der Figur 3 ff. dargestellten Ausführungsform vorgesehen Rippe 34 verzichtet werden. Auch die entsprechenden Einbuchtungen bzw. die Sicke 32, die in der vorherigen Ausführungsvariante beschrieben wurde, sind in der Ausführungsform gemäß der Figuren 9 bis 12 nicht mehr vorhanden.In the FIG. 9 is one of the FIG. 3 corresponding representation of an alternative embodiment shown. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 3 Here, the leaf spring 50 consists of two identical leaf spring parts 50 'and 50 "comparatively lesser thickness (see. FIG. 10 , in which the parts 50 'and 50 "are shown exploded) FIG. 3 ff. Embodiment provided rib 34 are dispensed with. Also, the corresponding recesses or the bead 32, which has been described in the previous embodiment, are in the embodiment according to the FIGS. 9 to 12 not available anymore.

Wie der Figur 9 weiter zu entnehmen ist, weist der Querstift 58 einen unrunden Querschnitt auf, hierdurch ist er verstärkt und kann nicht mehr so leicht durchgebogen werden. Wie sich insbesondere aus den Figuren 11 und 12 ergibt, ist der Scharnierarm 52 in seinem gekrümmten Teil derart geprägt, dass sich nach außen versetzte Ränder 54 am mittleren Teil 56 anschließen, wobei dieser mittlere Teil mit einer Ausnehmung 16 versehen ist.Again FIG. 9 can be seen further, the transverse pin 58 has a non-circular cross-section, thereby he is reinforced and can not be bent so easily. As can be seen in particular from the FIGS. 11 and 12 results in the hinge arm 52 is embossed in its curved portion such that outwardly offset edges 54 connect to the central part 56, said central part is provided with a recess 16.
