  • the spring 18.13 travels along the positioning pin 18.12 and thus along said axis of rotation 18.17.
  • the direction in which the spring 18.13 moves is given by the direction of rotation of the shaft 18.11.
  • This movement (migration) of the spring 18.13 is translated into a movement of the coupling intermediate piece 18.14, or the coupling surface 18.15, and thus in a radial movement of the coupling pin 17.
  • the spring 18.13 presses during a migration in the direction of the inner and outer coupling part against a first, the coupling parts facing surface 31 of the coupling intermediate piece 18.14. In a migration of the spring 18.13 in the opposite direction, this presses against a second, the coupling parts facing away from surface 32 of the coupling intermediate piece 18.14.
  • Attacks 18.3 which are integrated into the drive housing and interact with the coupling interface 18.14 define a maximum deflection of the coupling interface 18.14 in both directions of movement along the axis of rotation 18.17 of the shaft 18.11.
  • the inner coupling part 16. 2 has a recess 23 (for example in FIGS Figures 4-7 visible), in which the coupling pin 17 can engage with a corresponding alignment of the outer and inner coupling part relative to each other.
  • the coupling surface 18.15 is arranged so that a movement along any radial direction to the common axis 35 direction regardless of the position of the coupling pin 17 on the coupling surface 18.15 is possible.
  • moving the coupling pin 17 for coupling and decoupling of outer and inner coupling part is prevented not only by a mispositioning of bore 22 and recess 23, but also by a clamping action, which acts on the coupling pin 17, if this in both the bore 22nd as well as in the recess 23 and at the same time via the coupling pin 17, a force is transmitted from the outer coupling part 16.1 on the inner coupling part 16.2. This is the case in particular when the first door handle 1 is actuated.
  • FIG. 4 shows the position and the state of the spring 18.13, the coupling intermediate piece 18.14 and the coupling pin 17 when the outer coupling part 16.1 and inner coupling part 16.2 are decoupled.
  • the spring 18.13 is located between the positioning pin 18.12 and the second, the coupling parts facing away from surface 32 of the coupling intermediate piece 18.14.
  • the coupling intermediate piece 18.14 is held in a first position, which is characterized in that the coupling intermediate piece 18.14 is deflected maximally along the axis of rotation 18.17 of the shaft 18.11 in the direction away from the coupling parts and that the coupling pin 17 does not engage in the recess 23. This maximum deflection is defined by drive housing side stops 18.3.
  • FIG. 5 shows the position and the state of the spring 18.13, the coupling adapter 18.14 and the coupling pin 17 when the first and second coupling part are coupled.
  • the spring 18.13 is now located between the positioning pin 18.12 and the first, the coupling parts facing surface 31 of the coupling intermediate piece 18.14, which is located in a plane behind the coupling pin 17.
  • the coupling intermediate piece 18.14 is held in a second position, which is characterized in that the coupling intermediate piece 18.14 is deflected maximally along the axis of rotation 18.17 of the shaft 18.11 in the direction facing the coupling parts and that Coupling pin 17 engages in the recess 23. This maximum deflection is defined by drive housing side stops 18.3.
  • the coupling surface 18.15 in the position shown neither extends parallel to an outer surface 18.18 of the outer coupling part 16.1 nor parallel to an outer surface 18.19 of the inner coupling part 16.2. Rather, she is bent away from the outside. This is a direct consequence of the fact that the coupling surface 18.15 in the in FIG. 4 shown position parallel to said outer surfaces in order to prevent loosening of the coupling pin 17 and / or tilting thereof with the inner coupling part 16.2 when the outer and inner coupling part are decoupled (coupling intermediate piece 18.14 in the first position).
  • FIG. 6 shows the position and the state of the spring 18.13, the coupling adapter 18.14 and the coupling pin 17 after a user has authenticated as authorized access, whereupon the motor 18.5 is coupled to the transition of the coupling adapter 18.14 from the first position (decoupled) to the second position (coupled) has made a mispositioning of the inner coupling part 16.2 relative to the outer coupling part 16.1 said transition but has prevented.
  • the spring 18.13 is now deformed between the reduced by the non-starting of the second position area between positioning pin 18.12 and first surface 31.
  • the work done by the motor 18.5 is stored in the spring 18.13 and the second position is approached automatically and without any further work as soon as the bore 22 and the recess 23 are in line.
  • FIG. 7 shows the position and the state of the spring 18.13, the coupling interface 18.14 and the coupling pin 17 after the access authorization, for example, after a certain time, has gone out or after the user has transmitted a signal for re-decoupling the coupling mechanism to the locking system, wherein the outer Coupling 16.1 or the inner coupling part 16.2 or both have not returned to their original position.
  • it may happen that a transition of the coupling interface 18.14 from the second to the first position is not possible, because a force acting on the coupling pin 17, generated by the coupling parts clamping action prevents this transition, although the motor 18.5 for the transition of the coupling interface 18.14 from the second position (coupled) to the first position (decoupled) has made.
  • the spring 18.13 is now deformed between the reduced by not starting the first position area between positioning pin 18.12 and second surface 32. Thereby, the work done by the motor 18.5 is stored in the spring 18.13 and the first position is started automatically and without renewed work, as soon as said clamping effect is eliminated.
  • FIG. 8 summarizes the operation of the coupling mechanism.
  • a rotation of the outer coupling part 16.1 about the common axis of rotation 35 (which in the in FIG. 8 shown representations perpendicular to the plane of the page) leads to a corresponding rotation of the inner coupling part 16.2, when the coupling intermediate piece 18.14, of which the coupling surface 18.15 is visible in the first place, located in the second position (coupled), whereby the coupling pin 17 in the recess 23 it engages inner coupling part 16.2.
  • coupling pin 17 and coupling surface 18.15 are arranged so that the coupling pin 17 can be rotated in both directions from its rest position about the common axis of rotation 35 upon actuation of the first door handle 1.
  • the coupling pin 17 can be moved up to +/- 55 ° from said rest position (0 ° position).
  • the coupling mechanism is an "upside down" mounting the locking system with a correspondingly changed arrangement of the door handle 1 and thus changing the direction of rotation of the outer coupling part 16.1 is not in the way.
  • FIG. 9 the case of a closed housing 50 is shown, ie on the one hand an outer side of the front 53 is flush with an outer side of the wall 51 and closes the opening and on the other hand are the locking pins 53 in a position (first position), in which they in the recesses 46 intervene.
  • the second elastic element (the battery springs 47) is not in its equilibrium state with batteries inserted, but it is compressed along the deformation axis 48. Since the battery compartment 52, as mentioned, does not form a closed load frame, the battery compartment 52 is subjected to a force with respect to all components fixedly connected to the housing 50. This results in that the battery compartment 52 is pushed out of the interior of the housing 50, until the contact point between latching devices (recesses) 46 and inside locking pin parts 43.2 an equal but the force generated by the second elastic member 47 opposing force has arisen. This is in FIG. 9 represented by the locking pins 43 are not centered in the corresponding latching devices (recesses) 46, but at the side facing away from the lid 53 abut against these.
  • the two closure devices 41 are arranged such that only an opposite movement of the locking pins 43 results in an opening (or closing) of both closure devices 41 and thus of the housing 50.
