Definitions

  • a rotary latch of a motor vehicle lock has a fork-shaped inlet slot, into which a locking bolt of a vehicle door or a vehicle door, when the vehicle door or vehicle door is closed.
  • the locking pin then rotates the catch from an open position to a closed position. If the catch has reached a closed position, then the locking pin can not leave the inlet slot of the catch. In a closed position, a pawl locks the catch so that it can not be rotated back into the open position.
  • a blocking lever which blocks such movement when the catch is locked.
  • a blocking lever is in the from the publication DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known lock for the main catch pawl, since the catch and the main catch pawl are constructed so that the pawl in the main catch presses the main catch pawl from the latched position.
  • the blockage lever is rotated counter to its bias by means of the pre - ratchet pawl until the blockage lever releases the main catch pawl.
  • the main catch pawl is then urged out of the latched position by the catch, or caught by a catch of the pre-catch pawl, and thus moved out of the latched position.
  • the driver is a slot in the pre-latching pawl into which a bolt attached to the main latch pawl extends. Following this, the catch rotates due to a corresponding bias of the main load in its open position.
  • the locking bolt can now be moved out of the inlet slot again and the corresponding vehicle door or vehicle door can be opened.
  • the bolt is made of plastic and the bolt is integrally connected to a fully or partially made of plastic lever arm of the main catch pawl.
  • the main catch pawl as shown in DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 pushed out of the latched position by the catch, and the bolt attached to the main catch pawl is made of plastic.
  • the load is relatively small in this embodiment, since the main locking pawl is pushed out of the latched position by the catch. This pressure is already sufficient enough to move the main catch pawl out of the latched position after release of the main catch pawl by the blockage lever. Even if, nevertheless, the driver should engage the bolt, so only a small force is required to turn the main-locking pawl out of the latched position.
  • the main-locking pawl on a lever arm on which the bolt is mounted is encased with a plastic or consists at least partially of plastic, with which the bolt is integrally connected.
  • the remainder of the main catch pawl is made of metal.
  • there is a limiter for the wholly or partially made of plastic lever arm which limits the rotational movement of the main-locking pawl in the latched position. The limiter ensures that the Main-locking pawl is not rotated too far due to a too fast rotational movement and its inertial mass.
  • the limiter advantageously also serves as a stop for the first pawl, which is preferably biased in the latched position by a spring. If a preload is present, then the stop prevents the pre-catch pawl from being rotated past its latched position.
  • the main-locking pawl is not biased. The corresponding lever arm of the main catch pawl therefore does not load the limiter regularly, especially as the main catch pawl is pushed by the catch in the opposite direction of rotation and thus away from the limiter.
  • the limiter preferably consists of a metallic pin, which is enveloped by a sheath of elastic material. The impact of the relevant lever arm of the pre-locking pawl is damped. In addition, the plastic of the main catch pawl is spared.
  • this vertical area is also used to capture the pre-locking pawl, and preferably to move motorized, so as to unlock the lock when the associated vehicle door or vehicle door is opened. The height of the castle must therefore not be increased if the two pawls in the from DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known manner are arranged one above the other. It is then avoided by the vertical course that the base of the castle must be increased.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a housing wall 1 of a vehicle lock shown.
  • the housing wall 1 is provided with an inlet slot 2 into which a locking bolt 3 of a vehicle door or a vehicle door enters when the associated vehicle door or vehicle door is closed.
  • the rotary latch 4 is rotatably mounted on the housing wall 1 and can be rotated about its mounting axis 5.
  • the main catch is shown, in which the locking bolt 3 located in the housing wall inlet slot 2 is enclosed by the inlet slot of the rotary latch so that the locking bolt 3 can no longer be moved out of the housing wall inlet slot 2. The corresponding door or the flap of the vehicle is thus closed.
  • the main catch - pawl 6 is also mounted on the housing wall 1 and can be rotated about its mounting axis 7.
  • the rotary latch is preferably biased by a spring, not shown, in the open position. Due to this bias, the catch presses against a stop of the main catch - pawl with a oblique course. This oblique course pushes out the main catch pawl from the latched position.
  • the catch is not biased by a spring, then at least the locking pin 3 causes a rotational movement of the rotary latch 4 in the open position according to arrow 22 when an associated vehicle door or vehicle door is opened.
  • the associated torque then urges the main catch pawl 6 out of the latched position.
  • a blocking lever 8 As shown.
  • the blocking lever 8 is also mounted on the housing wall 1 and can be rotated about its mounting axis 9.
  • an arm 10b of a spring 10 At a lateral contour region of the blocking lever 8 is an arm 10b of a spring 10 at.
  • the spring 10 is biased so that the arm 10b of the spring 10 pushes the blocking lever in the direction of the blockage position shown (in the direction of arrow 11).
  • the rotational movement of the blocking lever caused thereby is limited, as shown, by a stop 12, which is fastened to the housing wall 1 in the form of a protruding bolt. Through this stop 12, the blocking lever always reaches very precisely in the always same blocking position, which is particularly important for proper functioning.
  • the spring 10 is mainly arranged laterally next to the blocking lever 8 and next to a Vorrastsperrklinke to allow a low height. Only one arm 10a of the spring 10 extends beyond the blocking lever 8.
  • the pre-locking pawl 13 comprises a bolt 14, which extends from the pre-locking pawl in the direction of the housing wall 1 down.
  • the other arm 10a of the spring 10 is applied.
  • the other arm of the spring 10 presses in the direction of the bolt 14 along the arrow 15.
  • the bolt 14 also bears against a lateral contour region of the blocking lever 8.
  • the bolt 14 causes the blocking lever 8 is rotated out of the blocking position.
  • the spring arm 10a may follow the movement of the stopper 14 such that rotation of the pre-lock pawl 13 is not hindered by a back pressure that would otherwise emanate from the spring arm 10b. This facilitates the rotation of the blocking lever 8 by the pawl 13 for the pre-restraint from the blocking position out. If the blocking lever 8 is thus moved out of the blocking position, then the main-locking pawl 6 is pushed out of its shown locked position by the rotary latch.
  • This bolt is made of plastic and has been made in one piece with the plastic portion 6a. This has the consequence that the main-locking pawl 6 is rotated out of the locked position shown and releases the catch. This then pivots in the direction of the arrow 22 in the direction of the open position and finally releases the locking pin 3. The associated door or flap can then be opened.
  • the catch especially exerts a sufficiently great pressure on the main catch pawl when a door seal pressure introduces strong opening forces into the catch.
  • a door seal pressure is relatively low, the problem may arise that the catch is unable to initiate a sufficiently large torque in the main catch pawl and the main catch pawl can not be pushed out of the latched position.
  • the aforementioned lateral contour area of the pre-locking pawl ensures that the Main locking pawl is safely excavated even at too low a door seal pressure from its latched position, and in comparison to that from the DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known solution in a simpler technical way.
  • the pre-locking pawl 13 may also lock the catch 4 when a protruding pin 18 of the catch 2 impinges on the lateral contour area 19 of the pre-locking pawl 13 and thus prevents rotation of the pawl in the open position according to arrow 22.
  • the pre-locking pawl 13 is preferably biased by a spring, not shown, in the direction of its latched position. An arm of this spring then presses against an end 21 which is perpendicular to the wall 1.
  • a protruding pin 20 which serves as a stop and which is fixed on the housing wall 1 prevents further rotation of the pre-locking pawl beyond its latched position.
  • This bolt 20 is preferably made of metal existing pin for reasons of stability.
  • the main catch pawl 6 is also made of metal and is preferably not directly spring loaded.
  • the main-locking pawl 6 is then instead suitably rotated solely by other components and in particular by moving the catch 4, the pre-locking pawl 13 and / or the blocking lever 8, so for example by a rotational movement of the blocking lever 8 in the latched position ( Main stop).
  • the corresponding rotation of the blocking lever is effected by the controlled bias of the spring 10.
  • hook-shaped endings 6b and 8a have proven to be particularly suitable.
  • the head of the hook 6b of the main catch pawl acts as a stopper for the catch.
  • the hook tip of the hook 6b is blocked by the head of the hook 8a in the main branch. If the blocking lever 8 from the turned off blocking position, so hook the two hooks 6b and 8a into each other. Finally, the tip 6b presses the hook 8a outwards so that the lever arm 8b lifts off the bolt 14, thus increasing the preload of the spring 10 (see also FIG. 3 ).
  • the rotation of the pre-locking pawl 13 is thereby further relieved, since it no longer acts on the blocking lever 8 by its moment of inertia.
  • the movement of the tip 6b or the main-locking pawl 6, which is responsible for the removal of the arm 8b of the bolt 14 is then caused by the rotating in the open position rotary latch by the lateral contour portion 4a against the then adjacent lateral contour region of the hook 6b presses.
  • the end 4b of the contoured region 4a is angled outward (as viewed from the rotary catch), so as to rotate the main-locking pawl, and thus the hook 6b, particularly far outward along the arrow 16.
  • the lever arm 8b is removed particularly far from the stop 14 and a desired high bias by the spring 10 is then provided.
  • the hook tip of the hook 6b is longer than the hook tip of the hook 8a, so as to be able to provide a particularly large bias of the spring 10 can. Since the hook 8a does not have to achieve such an effect, it is comparatively short. Overall, the desired movement can be ensured so particularly reliable.
  • the castle will be off FIG. 1 shown.
  • the pre-locking pawl 13 is now not transparent. This therefore partly covers, inter alia, the main catch pawl 13.
  • the region 21 protrudes perpendicular to the wall 1 upwards to detect here the pre-locking pawl without increasing the space and preferably to be able to rotate out of the latched position by motorized.
  • the pre-locking pawl is biased by a prestressed spring arm 40a of a torsion spring 40 in the locked position, which rests against the perpendicular end portion 21.
  • FIG. 3 the position of the rotary latch 4, the main locking pawl 6, the blocking lever 8, the spring 10 and the locking pin 3 is illustrated in the open position.
  • the position of the pre-locking pawl 13 is sketched by a transparent representation.
  • the locking pin 3 can now be moved out of the inlet slot and the associated door or flap can be opened.
  • the tip of the hook 6b of the main catch pawl pushes the hook-shaped lever arm 8a and so that the lever arm 8b of the blocking lever 8 far outward.
  • the spring arm 10b is thus also pressed far outward and the spring 10 is highly biased overall.
  • the lateral tip 4b of the lateral contour 4a which extends to the corner point 4c, ensures that the lever 8b is pushed particularly far outward by the hook 6b and thus the spring 10 is particularly strongly biased.
  • the FIG. 3 also illustrates that the pre-locking pawl 13 does not contribute to the increased bias of the spring 10.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schloss für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Gesperre umfassend eine Drehfalle und zwei Sperrklinken, mit denen die Drehfalle in jeweils einer Schließstellung verrastet werden kann. Die eine Sperrklinke verrastet die Drehfalle in der Hauptrast (nachfolgend "Hauptrast-Sperrklinke" genannt). Die andere Sperrklinke verrastet die Drehfalle in der Vorrast (nachfolgend "Vorrast-Sperrklinke" genannt). Das Schloss umfasst außerdem einen Blockadehebel für die genannte Hauptrast - Sperrklinke. Ein solches Schloss ist aus der Druckschrift DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 bekannt.The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle with a locking mechanism comprising a rotary latch and two pawls, with which the catch can be locked in each case a closed position. The one pawl locks the catch in the main catch (hereinafter called "main catch pawl"). The other pawl locks the catch in the pre-rest (hereinafter called "pre-locking pawl"). The lock also includes a blocking lever for said main catch pawl. Such a lock is from the document DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known.

Eine Drehfalle eines Kraftfahrzeugschlosses verfügt über einen gabelförmigen Einlaufschlitz, in den ein Schließbolzen einer Fahrzeugtür oder einer Fahrzeugklappe gelangt, wenn die Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe geschlossen wird. Der Schließbolzen verdreht dann die Drehfalle von einer Öffnungsstellung in eine Schließstellung. Hat die Drehfalle eine Schließstellung erreicht, so kann der Schließbolzen den Einlaufschlitz der Drehfalle nicht mehr verlassen. In einer Schließstellung verrastet eine Sperrklinke die Drehfalle, so dass diese nicht mehr in die Öffnungsstellung zurückgedreht werden kann.A rotary latch of a motor vehicle lock has a fork-shaped inlet slot, into which a locking bolt of a vehicle door or a vehicle door, when the vehicle door or vehicle door is closed. The locking pin then rotates the catch from an open position to a closed position. If the catch has reached a closed position, then the locking pin can not leave the inlet slot of the catch. In a closed position, a pawl locks the catch so that it can not be rotated back into the open position.

Es gibt Schlösser mit zwei Raststellungen, die nacheinander während des Schließens von der Drehfalle eingenommen werden können, nämlich die sogenannte Vorrast und die sogenannte Hauptrast.There are locks with two detent positions, which can be taken in succession during the closing of the catch, namely the so-called pre-rest and the so-called main rest.

Um zu vermeiden, dass eine Sperrklinke nicht unplanmäßig aus seiner verrasteten Stellung heraus bewegt wird, ist ein Blockadehebel vorgesehen, der eine solche Bewegung blockiert, wenn die Drehfalle verrastet ist. Ein solcher Blockadehebel ist bei dem aus der Druckschrift DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 bekannten Schloss für die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke erforderlich, da die Drehfalle und die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke so konstruiert sind, dass die Sperrklinke in der Hauptrast die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke aus der verrasteten Stellung drückt.In order to avoid that a pawl is not unintentionally moved out of its locked position, a blocking lever is provided which blocks such movement when the catch is locked. Such a blocking lever is in the from the publication DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known lock for the main catch pawl, since the catch and the main catch pawl are constructed so that the pawl in the main catch presses the main catch pawl from the latched position.

Der aus der Druckschrift DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 bekannte, drehbar gelagerte Blockadehebel ist durch eine Feder vorgespannt. Aufgrund dieser Vorspannung übt der Blockadehebel einen Druck auf die Hauptrast - Sperrklinke in Richtung Drehfalle aus, wenn sich die Drehfalle nicht in der Hauptrast-Stellung befindet. Dieser Druck ist dafür verantwortlich, dass die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke in ihre verrastete Stellung hinein bewegt wird, wenn die Drehfalle die Hauptrast erreicht. Die Vorspannung trägt dann weiter dafür Sorge, dass der Blockadehebel abschließend in die blockierende Stellung bewegt wird, so dass die Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe so vollständig verschlossen wird.The from the publication DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known, rotatably mounted blocking lever is biased by a spring. Due to this bias, the blocking lever exerts pressure on the main catch pawl towards the catch when the catch is not in the main catch position. This pressure is responsible for moving the main latch pawl into its latched position when the latch reaches the main latch. The bias then continues to ensure that the blockage lever is finally moved to the blocking position, so that the vehicle door or vehicle door is so completely closed.

Um das Schloss zu entrasten, wird der Blockadehebel mithilfe der Vorrast - Sperrklinke entgegengesetzt zu seiner Vorspannung gedreht, bis der Blockadehebel die Hauptrast - Sperrklinke freigibt. Die Hauptrast - Sperrklinke wird dann durch die Drehfalle aus der verrasteten Stellung gedrängt oder durch einen Mitnehmer der Vorrast-Sperrklinke erfasst und so aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus bewegt. Der Mitnehmer ist ein Langloch in der Vorrast-Sperrklinke, in das ein an der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke angebrachter Bolzen hineinreicht. Im Anschluss daran dreht sich die Drehfalle aufgrund einer entsprechenden Vorspannung von der Hauptrast in ihre geöffnete Stellung. Der Schließbolzen kann nun wieder aus dem Einlaufschlitz heraus bewegt und die entsprechende Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe geöffnet werden. Durch einen seitlichen Konturbereich der Vorrast-Sperrklinke als Mitnehmer, vermag der einen Bolzen der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke zu erfassen und zu bewegen. Hierdurch kann dann die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke aus ihrer verrasteten Stellung heraus gedreht werden. Indem kein Langloch als Mitnehmer dient, wird Material und damit Bauraum eingespart. Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein preiswertes Schloss für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit geringem Bauraum bereit zu stellen.To unlatch the lock, the blockage lever is rotated counter to its bias by means of the pre - ratchet pawl until the blockage lever releases the main catch pawl. The main catch pawl is then urged out of the latched position by the catch, or caught by a catch of the pre-catch pawl, and thus moved out of the latched position. The driver is a slot in the pre-latching pawl into which a bolt attached to the main latch pawl extends. Following this, the catch rotates due to a corresponding bias of the main load in its open position. The locking bolt can now be moved out of the inlet slot again and the corresponding vehicle door or vehicle door can be opened. By a lateral contour area of the pre-locking pawl as a driver, one of the pins of the main-locking pawl is able to detect and move. As a result, the main catch pawl can then be rotated out of its locked position. By no slot serves as a driver, material and thus space is saved. It is an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive lock for a motor vehicle with little space.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch ein Schloss mit den Merkmalen des ersten Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object of the invention is achieved by a lock with the features of the first claim. Advantageous embodiments emerge from the subclaims.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe, wird der Bolzen aus Kunststoff gefertigt und ist der Bolzen mit einem ganz oder teilweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Hebelarm der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke einteilig verbunden.To solve the problem, the bolt is made of plastic and the bolt is integrally connected to a fully or partially made of plastic lever arm of the main catch pawl.

In einer Ausführungsform wird die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke wie aus der DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 durch die Drehfalle aus der verrasteten Position bzw. Stellung heraus gedrängt, und der an der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke angebrachte Bolzen besteht aus Kunststoff. In der Regel ist es aufgrund der auftretenden Belastungen aus Stabilitätsgründen erforderlich, einen solchen Bolzen aus Metall herzustellen. Die Belastung ist bei dieser Ausführungsform jedoch relativ klein, da die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke durch die Drehfalle aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus gedrückt wird. Dieser Druck genügt regelmäßig bereits, um nach Freigabe der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke durch den Blockadehebel die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus zu bewegen. Selbst wenn dennoch der Mitnehmer den Bolzen erfassen sollte, so ist daher nur eine geringe Kraft erforderlich, um die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus zu drehen. Es ist daher nicht erforderlich, den Bolzen aus Metall herzustellen. Es genügt ein relativ leichter, preiswerter aus Kunststoff bestehender Bolzen, der beispielsweise aus Polypropylen besteht. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke einen Hebelarm auf, an dem der Bolzen angebracht ist. Dieser insbesondere aus Metall bestehende Hebelarm ist mit einem Kunststoff ummantelt oder besteht zumindest teilweise aus Kunststoff, mit dem der Bolzen einteilig verbunden ist. Der übrige Teil der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke besteht aus Metall. In reiner Ausführungsform der Erfindung gibt es für den ganz oder teilweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Hebelarm einen Begrenzer, der die Drehbewegung der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke in Richtung verrastete Stellung begrenzt. Der Begrenzer stellt sicher, dass die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke nicht aufgrund einer zu schnellen Drehbewegung und ihrer trägen Masse unplanmäßig weit gedreht wird.In one embodiment, the main catch pawl as shown in DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 pushed out of the latched position by the catch, and the bolt attached to the main catch pawl is made of plastic. In general, it is necessary due to the stresses occurring for stability reasons to produce such a bolt made of metal. However, the load is relatively small in this embodiment, since the main locking pawl is pushed out of the latched position by the catch. This pressure is already sufficient enough to move the main catch pawl out of the latched position after release of the main catch pawl by the blockage lever. Even if, nevertheless, the driver should engage the bolt, so only a small force is required to turn the main-locking pawl out of the latched position. It is therefore not necessary to make the bolt of metal. It is sufficient a relatively lighter, cheaper plastic existing bolt, which consists for example of polypropylene. According to the invention, the main-locking pawl on a lever arm on which the bolt is mounted. This lever arm, which consists in particular of metal, is encased with a plastic or consists at least partially of plastic, with which the bolt is integrally connected. The remainder of the main catch pawl is made of metal. In a pure embodiment of the invention, there is a limiter for the wholly or partially made of plastic lever arm, which limits the rotational movement of the main-locking pawl in the latched position. The limiter ensures that the Main-locking pawl is not rotated too far due to a too fast rotational movement and its inertial mass.

Der Begrenzer dient vorteilhaft zugleich als Anschlag für die erste Sperrklinke, die in Richtung verrastete Stellung durch eine Feder vorzugsweise vorgespannt ist. Ist eine Vorspannung vorhanden, so wird aufgrund des Anschlags verhindert, dass die Vorrast-Sperrklinke über ihre verrastete Stellung hinweg gedreht wird. Die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke ist dagegen nicht vorgespannt. Der entsprechende Hebelarm der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke belastet daher den Begrenzer regelmäßig nicht, zumal die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke durch die Drehfalle in die entgegengesetzte Drehrichtung und somit vom Begrenzer weg gedrückt wird.The limiter advantageously also serves as a stop for the first pawl, which is preferably biased in the latched position by a spring. If a preload is present, then the stop prevents the pre-catch pawl from being rotated past its latched position. The main-locking pawl, however, is not biased. The corresponding lever arm of the main catch pawl therefore does not load the limiter regularly, especially as the main catch pawl is pushed by the catch in the opposite direction of rotation and thus away from the limiter.

Der Begrenzer besteht vorzugsweise aus einem metallischen Stift, der von einer Hülle aus elastischem Material umhüllt wird. Der Aufschlag des betreffenden Hebelarms der Vorrast-Sperrklinke wird so gedämpft. Außerdem wird der Kunststoff der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke geschont.The limiter preferably consists of a metallic pin, which is enveloped by a sheath of elastic material. The impact of the relevant lever arm of the pre-locking pawl is damped. In addition, the plastic of the main catch pawl is spared.

Um die Vorrast-Sperrklinke vorzuspannen, umfasst diese bevorzugt einen weiteren Hebelarm, der in einem Bereich endet, der sich senkrecht zu der Gehäusewand erstreckt, an der die Drehfalle drehbar befestigt ist. Es steht so ein Bereich zur Verfügung, gegen die ein Arm einer Drehfeder drücken kann. Außerdem wird dieser senkrechte Bereich zugleich dazu genutzt, um die Vorrast-Sperrklinke zu erfassen und vorzugsweise motorisiert zu bewegen, um so das Schloss zu entrasten, wenn die zugehörige Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe geöffnet wird. Die Bauhöhe des Schlosses muss deshalb nicht vergrößert werden, wenn die zwei Sperrklinken in der aus der DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 bekannten Weise übereinander angeordnet sind. Es wird dann durch den senkrechten Verlauf vermieden, dass die Grundfläche des Schlosses vergrößert werden muss.To bias the pre-locking pawl, this preferably comprises a further lever arm which terminates in a region which extends perpendicular to the housing wall, on which the rotary latch is rotatably mounted. There is such an area available against which an arm of a torsion spring can press. In addition, this vertical area is also used to capture the pre-locking pawl, and preferably to move motorized, so as to unlock the lock when the associated vehicle door or vehicle door is opened. The height of the castle must therefore not be increased if the two pawls in the from DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known manner are arranged one above the other. It is then avoided by the vertical course that the base of the castle must be increased.

Anhand des Ausführungsbeispiels werden Vorteile von weiteren Ausführungsformen der Erfindung verdeutlicht.Hereinafter, an illustrated in the figures embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail. On the basis of the embodiment advantages of further embodiments of the invention are illustrated.

In der Figur 1 ist eine Aufsicht auf eine Gehäusewand 1 eines Fahrzeugschlosses dargestellt. Die Gehäusewand 1 ist mit einem Einlaufschlitz 2 versehen, in den ein Schließbolzen 3 einer Fahrzeugtür oder einer Fahrzeugklappe hinein gelangt, wenn die zugehörige Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe geschlossen wird. Die Drehfalle 4 ist auf der Gehäusewand 1 drehbar angebracht und kann um ihre Befestigungsachse 5 gedreht werden. In der Figur 1 wird die Hauptrast gezeigt, bei der der im Gehäusewand-Einlaufschlitz 2 befindliche Schließbolzen 3 von dem Einlaufschlitz der Drehfalle so umschlossen wird, dass der Schließbolzen 3 nicht mehr aus dem Gehäusewand-Einlaufschlitz 2 heraus bewegt werden kann. Die entsprechende Tür beziehungsweise die Klappe des Fahrzeugs ist damit verschlossen. Gezeigt wird die Hauptrast, weil ein Zurückdrehen der Drehfalle 4 gemäß gezeigter Pfeilrichtung 22 in Richtung geöffnete Stellung durch die Hauptrast - Sperrklinke 6 wie dargestellt verhindert wird. Die Hauptrast - Sperrklinke 6 ist ebenfalls auf der Gehäusewand 1 befestigt und kann um ihre Befestigungsachse 7 gedreht werden. Die Drehfalle ist bevorzugt durch eine nicht gezeigte Feder in Richtung geöffnete Stellung vorgespannt. Aufgrund dieser Vorspannung drückt die Drehfalle gegen einen Anschlag der Hauptrast - Sperrklinke mit einem schrägen Verlauf. Dieser schräge Verlauf drückt die Hauptrast - Sperrklinke aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus.In the FIG. 1 is a plan view of a housing wall 1 of a vehicle lock shown. The housing wall 1 is provided with an inlet slot 2 into which a locking bolt 3 of a vehicle door or a vehicle door enters when the associated vehicle door or vehicle door is closed. The rotary latch 4 is rotatably mounted on the housing wall 1 and can be rotated about its mounting axis 5. In the FIG. 1 the main catch is shown, in which the locking bolt 3 located in the housing wall inlet slot 2 is enclosed by the inlet slot of the rotary latch so that the locking bolt 3 can no longer be moved out of the housing wall inlet slot 2. The corresponding door or the flap of the vehicle is thus closed. Shown is the main catch, because a turning back of the rotary latch 4 according to the arrow direction 22 shown in the direction of the open position by the main catch - locking pawl 6 is prevented as shown. The main catch - pawl 6 is also mounted on the housing wall 1 and can be rotated about its mounting axis 7. The rotary latch is preferably biased by a spring, not shown, in the open position. Due to this bias, the catch presses against a stop of the main catch - pawl with a oblique course. This oblique course pushes out the main catch pawl from the latched position.

Ist die Drehfalle nicht durch eine Feder vorgespannt, so bewirkt zumindest der Schließbolzen 3 eine Drehbewegung der Drehfalle 4 in Richtung geöffnete Stellung gemäß Pfeil 22, wenn eine zugehörige Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe geöffnet wird. Das damit einhergehende Drehmoment drängt dann die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus.If the catch is not biased by a spring, then at least the locking pin 3 causes a rotational movement of the rotary latch 4 in the open position according to arrow 22 when an associated vehicle door or vehicle door is opened. The associated torque then urges the main catch pawl 6 out of the latched position.

Dies wird allerdings in der Hauptrast bei verschlossener Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe durch einen Blockadehebel 8 wie gezeigt verhindert. Der Blockadehebel 8 ist ebenfalls auf der Gehäusewand 1 befestigt und kann um seine Befestigungsachse 9 gedreht werden. An einem seitlichen Konturbereich des Blockadehebels 8 liegt ein Arm 10b einer Feder 10 an. Die Feder 10 ist so vorgespannt, dass der Arm 10b der Feder 10 den Blockadehebel in Richtung der gezeigten Blockadestellung (in Richtung Pfeil 11) drückt. Begrenzt wird die dadurch verursachte Drehbewegung des Blockadehebels wie gezeigt durch einen Anschlag 12, der in Form eines vorstehenden Bolzens an der Gehäusewand 1 befestigt ist. Durch diesen Anschlag 12 gelangt der Blockadehebel stets sehr exakt in die stets gleiche blockierende Stellung, was für ein einwandfreies Funktionieren besonders wichtig ist. Die Feder 10 ist überwiegend seitlich neben dem Blockadehebel 8 sowie neben einer Vorrastsperrklinke angeordnet, um eine geringe Bauhöhe zu ermöglichen. Lediglich ein Arm 10a der Feder 10 reicht über den Blockadehebel 8 hinweg.However, this is prevented in the main load when the vehicle door or vehicle door is locked by a blocking lever 8 as shown. The blocking lever 8 is also mounted on the housing wall 1 and can be rotated about its mounting axis 9. At a lateral contour region of the blocking lever 8 is an arm 10b of a spring 10 at. The spring 10 is biased so that the arm 10b of the spring 10 pushes the blocking lever in the direction of the blockage position shown (in the direction of arrow 11). The rotational movement of the blocking lever caused thereby is limited, as shown, by a stop 12, which is fastened to the housing wall 1 in the form of a protruding bolt. Through this stop 12, the blocking lever always reaches very precisely in the always same blocking position, which is particularly important for proper functioning. The spring 10 is mainly arranged laterally next to the blocking lever 8 and next to a Vorrastsperrklinke to allow a low height. Only one arm 10a of the spring 10 extends beyond the blocking lever 8.

Oberhalb der Hauptrast - Sperrklinke 6 ist eine Vorrast - Sperrklinke angeordnet. Diese ist ebenfalls an der Achse 7 drehbar befestigt und kann also um diese Achse 7 gedreht werden. Der Umriss 13 der Vorrast - Sperrklinke ist punktiert angedeutet. Die Vorrast - Sperrklinke 13 umfasst einen Bolzen 14, der sich von der Vorrast - Sperrklinke in Richtung Gehäusewand 1 nach unten erstreckt. An diesem Bolzen 14, der an der Vorrast-Sperrklinke angebracht ist, liegt der andere Arm 10a der Feder 10 an. Der andere Arm der Feder 10 drückt in Richtung des Bolzens 14 entlang des Pfeils 15. In der Hauptrast liegt der Bolzen 14 außerdem an einem seitlichen Konturbereich des Blockadehebels 8 an. Wird die Vorrast - Sperrklinke 13 in Richtung des Pfeils 16 gedreht, so bewirkt der Bolzen 14, dass der Blockadehebel 8 aus der blockierenden Stellung heraus gedreht wird. Der Federarm 10a kann der Bewegung des Anschlags bzw. Bolzens 14 folgen, so dass das Drehen der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 nicht durch einen Gegendruck behindert wird, der andernfalls von dem Federarm 10b ausgehen würde. Dies erleichtert das Drehen des Blockadehebels 8 durch die Sperrklinke 13 für die Vorrast aus der blockierenden Stellung heraus. Wird der Blockadehebel 8 so aus der blockierenden Stellung heraus bewegt, so wird die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 aus ihrer gezeigten verrasteten Stellung durch die Drehfalle heraus gedrückt. Ergänzend oder alternativ erfasst ein seitlicher Konturbereich der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 infolge der genannten Drehbewegung einen vorstehenden als Anschlag dienenden Bolzen 17, der auf der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 befestigt ist. Dieser Bolzen besteht aus Kunststoff und ist mit dem Kunststoffbereich 6a einteilig gefertigt worden. Dies hat zur Konsequenz, dass die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 aus der gezeigten verrasteten Stellung heraus gedreht wird und die Drehfalle freigibt. Diese schwenkt dann in Richtung des Pfeils 22 in Richtung geöffnete Stellung und gibt schließlich den Schließbolzen 3 frei. Die zugehörige Tür oder Klappe kann dann geöffnet werden.Above the main catch pawl 6, a pre-locking pawl is arranged. This is also rotatably mounted on the axis 7 and can therefore be rotated about this axis 7. The outline 13 of the pre-locking pawl is indicated by dotted lines. The pre-locking pawl 13 comprises a bolt 14, which extends from the pre-locking pawl in the direction of the housing wall 1 down. At this bolt 14, at the Pre-locking pawl is attached, the other arm 10a of the spring 10 is applied. The other arm of the spring 10 presses in the direction of the bolt 14 along the arrow 15. In the main catch, the bolt 14 also bears against a lateral contour region of the blocking lever 8. If the pre-locking pawl 13 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 16, the bolt 14 causes the blocking lever 8 is rotated out of the blocking position. The spring arm 10a may follow the movement of the stopper 14 such that rotation of the pre-lock pawl 13 is not hindered by a back pressure that would otherwise emanate from the spring arm 10b. This facilitates the rotation of the blocking lever 8 by the pawl 13 for the pre-restraint from the blocking position out. If the blocking lever 8 is thus moved out of the blocking position, then the main-locking pawl 6 is pushed out of its shown locked position by the rotary latch. Additionally or alternatively detects a lateral contour portion of the pre-locking pawl 13 as a result of said rotational movement a protruding serving as a stop pin 17 which is mounted on the main catch pawl 6. This bolt is made of plastic and has been made in one piece with the plastic portion 6a. This has the consequence that the main-locking pawl 6 is rotated out of the locked position shown and releases the catch. This then pivots in the direction of the arrow 22 in the direction of the open position and finally releases the locking pin 3. The associated door or flap can then be opened.

Die Drehfalle übt vor allem dann einen hinreichend großen Druck auf die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke aus, wenn ein Türdichtungsdruck starke Öffnungskräfte in die Drehfalle einleitet. Ist allerdings ein Türdichtungsdruck relativ gering, so kann das Problem auftreten, dass die Drehfalle kein hinreichend großes Drehmoment in die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke einzuleiten vermag und die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke nicht aus der verrasteten Stellung gedrückt werden kann. Der vorgenannte seitliche Konturbereich der Vorrast-Sperrklinke stellt sicher, dass die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke auch bei einem zu geringen Türdichtungsdruck sicher aus ihrer verrasteten Stellung ausgehoben wird und zwar im Vergleich zu der aus der DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 bekannten Lösung auf einfachere technische Weise.The catch especially exerts a sufficiently great pressure on the main catch pawl when a door seal pressure introduces strong opening forces into the catch. However, if a door seal pressure is relatively low, the problem may arise that the catch is unable to initiate a sufficiently large torque in the main catch pawl and the main catch pawl can not be pushed out of the latched position. The aforementioned lateral contour area of the pre-locking pawl ensures that the Main locking pawl is safely excavated even at too low a door seal pressure from its latched position, and in comparison to that from the DE 10 2007 003 948 A1 known solution in a simpler technical way.

Die Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 kann die Drehfalle 4 ebenfalls verriegeln, wenn ein vorstehender Bolzen 18 der Drehfalle 2 auf den seitlichen Konturbereich 19 der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 auftrifft und so ein Drehen der Sperrklinke in Richtung geöffnete Stellung gemäß Pfeil 22 verhindert. Die Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 ist vorzugsweise durch eine nicht gezeigte Feder in Richtung ihrer verrasteten Stellung vorgespannt. Ein Arm dieser Feder drückt dann gegen ein Ende 21, das senkrecht zur Wand 1 verläuft. Ein als Anschlag dienender vorstehender Bolzen 20, der auf der Gehäusewand 1 befestigt ist, verhindert das weitere Drehen der Vorrast-Sperrklinke über ihre verrastete Stellung hinaus. Dieser Bolzen 20 ist aus Stabilitätsgründen vorzugsweise ein aus Metall bestehender Stift.The pre-locking pawl 13 may also lock the catch 4 when a protruding pin 18 of the catch 2 impinges on the lateral contour area 19 of the pre-locking pawl 13 and thus prevents rotation of the pawl in the open position according to arrow 22. The pre-locking pawl 13 is preferably biased by a spring, not shown, in the direction of its latched position. An arm of this spring then presses against an end 21 which is perpendicular to the wall 1. A protruding pin 20 which serves as a stop and which is fixed on the housing wall 1 prevents further rotation of the pre-locking pawl beyond its latched position. This bolt 20 is preferably made of metal existing pin for reasons of stability.

Die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 besteht darüber hinaus aus Metall und ist bevorzugt nicht unmittelbar federbelastet. Die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 wird dann statt dessen allein durch andere Bauteile und zwar insbesondere durch Bewegen der Drehfalle 4, der Vorrast - Sperrklinke 13 und/oder dem Blockadehebel 8 geeignet gedreht, so zum Beispiel durch eine Drehbewegung des Blockadehebels 8 in die verrastete Stellung (Hauptrast) hinein. Das entsprechende Drehen des Blockadehebels wird durch die gesteuert bereitgestellte Vorspannung der Feder 10 bewirkt.The main catch pawl 6 is also made of metal and is preferably not directly spring loaded. The main-locking pawl 6 is then instead suitably rotated solely by other components and in particular by moving the catch 4, the pre-locking pawl 13 and / or the blocking lever 8, so for example by a rotational movement of the blocking lever 8 in the latched position ( Main stop). The corresponding rotation of the blocking lever is effected by the controlled bias of the spring 10.

Um die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke mit Hilfe des Blockadehebels geeignet in die verrastete Stellung hinein zu bewegen, haben sich hakenförmige Endungen 6b und 8a als besonders geeignet herausgestellt. Der Kopf des Hakens 6b der Hauptrast-Klinke wirkt als Anschlag für die Drehfalle. Die Hakenspitze des Hakens 6b wird durch den Kopf des Hakens 8a in der Hauptrast blockiert. Wird der Blockadehebel 8 aus der blockierenden Stellung heraus gedreht, so verhaken sich die beiden Haken 6b und 8a ineinander. Die Spitze 6b drückt schließlich den Haken 8a so weit nach außen, dass sich der Hebelarm 8b von dem Bolzen 14 abhebt und so die Vorspannung der Feder 10 vergrößert (siehe auch Figur 3). Das Drehen der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 wird dadurch weiter entlastet, da diese nun nicht mehr auf den Blockadehebel 8 durch ihr Trägheitsmoment einwirkt. Die Bewegung der Spitze 6b bzw. der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6, die für das Entfernen des Arms 8b von dem Bolzen 14 verantwortlich ist, wird dann durch die sich in die Öffnungsstellung drehende Drehfalle verursacht, indem der seitliche Konturbereich 4a gegen den dann angrenzenden seitlichen Konturbereich des Hakens 6b drückt. Das Ende 4b des Konturbereichs 4a ist wie dargestellt nach außen (von der Drehfalle aus gesehen) abgewinkelt bzw. abgebogen, um so die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke und damit den Haken 6b besonders weit nach außen entlang des Pfeils 16 zu drehen. Als Folge davon wird der Hebelarm 8b besonders weit von dem Anschlag 14 entfernt und eine dann erwünscht große Vorspannung durch die Feder 10 bereitgestellt. Vorteilhaft ist die Hakenspitze des Hakens 6b länger als die Hakenspitze des Hakens 8a, um so eine besonders große Vorspannung der Feder 10 bereitstellen zu können. Da der Haken 8a keine derartige Wirkung erzielen muss, ist dieser vergleichsweise kurz. Insgesamt kann so besonders zuverlässig der gewünschte Bewegungsablauf gewährleistet werden.In order to properly move the main catch pawl into the latched position by means of the blocking lever, hook-shaped endings 6b and 8a have proven to be particularly suitable. The head of the hook 6b of the main catch pawl acts as a stopper for the catch. The hook tip of the hook 6b is blocked by the head of the hook 8a in the main branch. If the blocking lever 8 from the turned off blocking position, so hook the two hooks 6b and 8a into each other. Finally, the tip 6b presses the hook 8a outwards so that the lever arm 8b lifts off the bolt 14, thus increasing the preload of the spring 10 (see also FIG FIG. 3 ). The rotation of the pre-locking pawl 13 is thereby further relieved, since it no longer acts on the blocking lever 8 by its moment of inertia. The movement of the tip 6b or the main-locking pawl 6, which is responsible for the removal of the arm 8b of the bolt 14 is then caused by the rotating in the open position rotary latch by the lateral contour portion 4a against the then adjacent lateral contour region of the hook 6b presses. As shown, the end 4b of the contoured region 4a is angled outward (as viewed from the rotary catch), so as to rotate the main-locking pawl, and thus the hook 6b, particularly far outward along the arrow 16. As a result, the lever arm 8b is removed particularly far from the stop 14 and a desired high bias by the spring 10 is then provided. Advantageously, the hook tip of the hook 6b is longer than the hook tip of the hook 8a, so as to be able to provide a particularly large bias of the spring 10 can. Since the hook 8a does not have to achieve such an effect, it is comparatively short. Overall, the desired movement can be ensured so particularly reliable.

Wird die Drehfalle von der geöffneten Stellung aus in Richtung geschlossene Stellung bis zur Vorrast gedreht, so rastet dann die Vorrast-Sperrklinke in ihre verrastete Stellung ein, indem diese dann entgegengesetzt zur Pfeilrichtung 16 gedreht wird, bis ein weiteres Drehen wie in Figur 1 dargestellt durch den Anschlag 20 verhindert wird. In dieser Vorrast-Stellung liegt der entsprechende seitliche Konturbereich des Hakens 6b noch am seitlichen Konturbereich 4a an. Dies blockiert ein Drehen des Blockadehebels 8 derart, dass der Arm 8b in Richtung des Pfeils 11 bewegt wird. Die Vorspannung der Feder 10 wird so weiter in dann erwünschter Weise erhöht. Gibt schließlich der seitliche Konturbereich 4a, der von dem Eckpunkt 4b bis zu dem Eckpunkt 4c reicht, die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6 frei, so steht eine hohe Vorspannung bereit, um die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke zuverlässig in die verrastete Stellung hinein zu bewegen, wenn eine zugehörige Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe verschlossen wird.If the catch is rotated from the open position to the closed position until the pre-locking, then locks the pre-locking pawl in its locked position by this is then rotated in the opposite direction to the arrow 16 until another turn as in FIG. 1 represented by the stop 20 is prevented. In this pre-locking position, the corresponding lateral contour region of the hook 6b still bears against the lateral contour region 4a. This blocks rotation of the blocking lever 8 such that the arm 8b is moved in the direction of the arrow 11. The bias of the spring 10 is thus further increased in a desired manner. Finally gives the lateral contour area 4a, which extends from the corner 4b to the corner 4c, the main locking pawl 6 free, so there is a high bias ready to reliably move the main locking pawl into the latched position when an associated vehicle door or vehicle door is closed.

Um die Vorrast - Sperrklinke aus ihrer verrasteten Stellung heraus zu drehen, um so das Schloss zu entrasten, wird diese an dem Griffbereich 21 erfasst und gedreht. Das Erfassen und Drehen der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 kann mit Hilfe eines Motors oder durch manuelle Betätigung erfolgen. Da die Vorrast-Sperrklinke durch einen Motor auch zurück gedreht werden kann, ist eine Feder nicht zwingend erforderlich, die die Vorrast-Sperrklinke in Richtung ihrer verrasteten Stellung drückt. Aus Geschwindigkeits- und Sicherheitsgründen ist das Vorsehen einer solchen Feder jedoch vorteilhaft.In order to rotate the pre-locking pawl out of its latched position so as to unlatch the lock, it is grasped and turned on the handle portion 21. The detection and rotation of the pre-locking pawl 13 can be done by means of a motor or by manual operation. Since the pre-locking pawl can also be rotated back by a motor, a spring is not mandatory, which presses the pre-locking pawl in the direction of its latched position. For speed and safety reasons, however, the provision of such a spring is advantageous.

In der Figur 2 wird das Schloss aus Figur 1 gezeigt. Allerdings ist die Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 nun nicht transparent dargestellt. Diese verdeckt daher teilweise u. a. die Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 13. In der Figur 2 wird angedeutet, dass der Bereich 21 senkrecht zur Wand 1 nach oben absteht, um hier die Vorrast-Sperrklinke ohne Vergrößerung des Bauraums erfassen und vorzugsweise motorisiert aus der verrasteten Stellung heraus drehen zu können. Weiter wird die Vorrast-Sperrklinke durch einen vorgespannten Federarm 40a einer Drehfeder 40 in Richtung verrastete Stellung vorgespannt, der an dem senkrecht verlaufenden Endbereich 21 anliegt.In the FIG. 2 the castle will be off FIG. 1 shown. However, the pre-locking pawl 13 is now not transparent. This therefore partly covers, inter alia, the main catch pawl 13. In the FIG. 2 It is indicated that the region 21 protrudes perpendicular to the wall 1 upwards to detect here the pre-locking pawl without increasing the space and preferably to be able to rotate out of the latched position by motorized. Next, the pre-locking pawl is biased by a prestressed spring arm 40a of a torsion spring 40 in the locked position, which rests against the perpendicular end portion 21.

In der Figur 3 wird die Stellung der Drehfalle 4, der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke 6, des Blockadehebels 8, der Feder 10 und des Schließbolzens 3 in der geöffneten Stellung verdeutlicht. Außerdem wird die Stellung der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 durch eine transparente Darstellung skizziert. Der Schließbolzen 3 kann nun aus dem Einlaufschlitz heraus bewegt und die zugehörige Tür oder Klappe geöffnet werden. Die Spitze des Hakens 6b der Hauptrast-Sperrklinke drückt den hakenförmigen Hebelarm 8a und damit auch den Hebelarm 8b des Blockadehebels 8 weit nach außen. Der Federarm 10b wird damit ebenfalls weit nach außen gedrückt und die Feder 10 insgesamt stark vorgespannt. Die seitliche Spitze 4b der seitlichen Kontur 4a, die sich bis zum Eckpunkt 4c erstreckt, trägt dafür Sorge, dass der Hebel 8b durch den Haken 6b besonders weit nach außen gedrückt und so die Feder 10 besonders stark vorgespannt wird. Die Figur 3 verdeutlicht außerdem, dass die Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 nicht zur vergrößerten Vorspannung der Feder 10 beiträgt.In the FIG. 3 the position of the rotary latch 4, the main locking pawl 6, the blocking lever 8, the spring 10 and the locking pin 3 is illustrated in the open position. In addition, the position of the pre-locking pawl 13 is sketched by a transparent representation. The locking pin 3 can now be moved out of the inlet slot and the associated door or flap can be opened. The tip of the hook 6b of the main catch pawl pushes the hook-shaped lever arm 8a and so that the lever arm 8b of the blocking lever 8 far outward. The spring arm 10b is thus also pressed far outward and the spring 10 is highly biased overall. The lateral tip 4b of the lateral contour 4a, which extends to the corner point 4c, ensures that the lever 8b is pushed particularly far outward by the hook 6b and thus the spring 10 is particularly strongly biased. The FIG. 3 also illustrates that the pre-locking pawl 13 does not contribute to the increased bias of the spring 10.

Wird eine Fahrzeugtür, durch die Personen ein- und aussteigen, oder Fahrzeugklappe mit dem Schließbolzen 3 zugeschlagen, so dreht der Drehbolzen 3 die Drehfalle 4 zurück in die Richtung Schließstellung. Die Rückseite des Hakens 6b gleitet dann entlang der seitlichen Kontur 4a. Dies führt zwar dazu, dass die Vorspannung der Feder 10 zunächst etwas nachlässt, da dann auch der Blockadehebel 8 zunächst ein wenig zurück in Richtung blockierende Stellung dreht. Allerding gleitet auch der bolzenförmige Anschlag 14 in Richtung seitliche Kontur 19 der Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 und gibt so schließlich die Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 frei, so dass diese aufgrund ihrer Vorspannung schließlich in Richtung verrastete Stellung dreht und dadurch dann die Vorspannung der Feder 10 wieder erhöht.If a vehicle door, through which people get in and out, or vehicle flap slammed with the locking pin 3, the pivot pin 3 rotates the catch 4 back in the direction of the closed position. The back of the hook 6b then slides along the lateral contour 4a. Although this leads to the fact that the bias of the spring 10 initially decreases a bit, since then the blocking lever 8 initially rotates a little back in the direction blocking position. However, the bolt-shaped stopper 14 also slides in the direction of the lateral contour 19 of the pre-locking pawl 13 and thus finally releases the pre-locking pawl 13, so that it finally rotates in the latched position due to its prestressing, thereby again increasing the preload of the spring 10 ,

In der Figur 4 wird eine Zwischenstellung zwischen Öffnungsstellung und Schließstellung der Drehfalle 4 gezeigt. Wird die Drehfalle 4 durch den Bolzen 3 noch etwas weiter in Richtung Schließstellung gedreht, so rastet die transparent dargestellte Vorrast-Sperrklinke 13 in ihre verrastete Stellung ein und spannt dann die Feder 10 stärker vor. Der Rücken des Hakens 6b wird durch den Hebelarm 8a des durch die Feder 10 vorgespannten Blockadehebels 8 gegen den seitlichen Konturbereich 4a der Drehfalle gedrückt.In the FIG. 4 an intermediate position between the open position and closed position of the rotary latch 4 is shown. If the rotary latch 4 is rotated a little further in the direction of the closed position by the bolt 3, then the pre-locking pawl 13, shown transparently, engages in its latched position and then biases the spring 10 more strongly. The back of the hook 6b is pressed by the lever arm 8a of the biased by the spring 10 blocking lever 8 against the lateral contour portion 4a of the rotary latch.
