Ein Problem, das sich bei der Entwicklung von Schlosshaltern und insbesondere von Schlosshaltern mit Abdeckkappen stellt, ist das, dass die Abdeckkappen zu jedem Zeitpunkt sicher mit dem Schlosshalter verbunden sein müssen. So kann es beispielsweise vorkommen, dass ein im Einstiegsbereich eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordneter Schlosshalter von einer Person und/oder einem Gegenstand, wie beispielsweise einer Tasche, stoßartig belastet wird. Auch in einem derartigen Fall muss eine sichere Verbindung zwischen der Abdeckung und dem Schlosshalter gewährleistet sein. Darüber hinaus ist es stets ein Bestreben der Automobilindustrie, das ästhetische Aussehen eines Kraftfahrzeugs zu verbessern. Hierbei müssen Vorgaben nach einem geringen Gewicht, hoher Funktionalität, ästhetisches Aussehen und Sicherheit bedacht und eingehalten werden.A problem that arises in the development of lock holders and in particular lock holders with caps, is that the covers at any time must be securely connected to the lock holder. Thus, it may happen, for example, that a lock holder arranged in the entry area of a motor vehicle is subjected to an impact by a person and / or an object, such as a bag. Even in such a case, a secure connection between the cover and the lock holder must be ensured. Moreover, it has always been a desire of the automotive industry to improve the aesthetic appearance of a motor vehicle. Here, specifications for a low weight, high functionality, aesthetic appearance and safety must be considered and adhered to.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen verbesserten Schlosshalter bereitzustellen. Darüber hinaus ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Schlosshalter bereitzustellen, mit dem ein Höchstmaß an Sicherheit erzielt wird und bei dem zu jedem Zeitpunkt eine ordnungsgemäße Verbindung zwischen einer Abdeckkappe und der Montageplatte erzielbar ist. Darüber hinaus ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine konstruktiv einfache und kostengünstige Möglichkeit zur Verbindung einer Abdecckappe mit einem Schlosshalter bzw. einer Montageplatte bereitzustellen.The object of the invention is to provide an improved lock holder. In addition, it is an object of the invention to provide a lock holder with which a maximum of security is achieved and in which at any time a proper connection between a cap and the mounting plate can be achieved. Moreover, it is an object of the invention to provide a structurally simple and cost-effective way to connect a Abdecckappe with a lock holder or a mounting plate.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die im Folgenden beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele nicht beschränkend sind, es sind vielmehr beliebige Variationsmöglichkeiten der in der Beschreibung und den Unteransprüchen beschriebenen Merkmale möglich.The object is achieved by the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are not restrictive, but rather any variation possibilities of the features described in the description and the subclaims are possible.
Gemäß dem Patentanspruch 1 wird die Aufgabe der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass ein Schlosshalter für einen Kraftfahrzeugverschluss bereitgestellt wird, aufweisend einen Schließbolzen und eine Montageplatte, wobei der Schließbolzen gemeinsam mit der Montageplatte an einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie befestigbar ist, eine Abdeckkappe, wobei mittels der Abdeckkappe zumindest die Montageplatte zumindest bereichsweise abdeckbar ist und wobei die Abdeckkappe derart mit der Montageplatte verbindbar ist, dass die Abdeckkappe zumindest bereichsweise einen Oberflächenbereich, insbesondere gemeinsam mit der Montageplatte bildet, wobei die Montageplatte mittels zumindest einem Befestigungsmittel an einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie montierbar ist und dass die Abdeckkappe formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig mit dem Befestigungsmittel verbindbar ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Schlosshalters ist nun die Möglichkeit gegeben, ein Höchstmaß an Sicherheit im Bereich des Schlosshalters bereitzustellen. Insbesondere dadurch, dass die Abdeckkappe gemeinsam mit der Montageplatte einen Oberflächenbereich bildet, kann auf überstehende Kanten und somit Eingriffsbereiche für einen Bediener verzichtet werden, so dass einem Bediener des Kraftfahrzeugs eine ebene Oberfläche gegenübersteht, die wiederum eine Gefahr einer Verletzung verhindert und gleichzeitig eine sichere Verbindung zwischen der Abdeckkappe und der Montageplatte gewährleistet.According to claim 1, the object of the invention is achieved in that a lock holder is provided for a motor vehicle closure, comprising a locking bolt and a mounting plate, wherein the locking bolt is fastened together with the mounting plate on a motor vehicle body, a cap, wherein by means of the cap at least the Mounting plate is at least partially coverable and wherein the cap is connectable to the mounting plate such that the cap at least partially forms a surface area, in particular together with the mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate is mounted by means of at least one fastener on a motor vehicle body and that the cap positively and / or or non-positively connected to the fastening means. The inventive design of the lock holder is now given the opportunity to provide the highest level of security in the area of the lock holder. In particular, the fact that the cover together with the mounting plate forms a surface area, can be dispensed with protruding edges and thus engaging areas for an operator, so that an operator of the motor vehicle faces a flat surface, which in turn prevents a risk of injury and at the same time a secure connection ensured between the cap and the mounting plate.
Ein Schlosshalter kann überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo bewegliche, schwenkbewegliche, schiebebewegliche oder beispielsweise Abdeckkappen in einem Kraftfahrzeug zum Einsatz kommen. Dabei umfasst der Schlosshalter zumindest einen Schließbolzen, der mit einem Verschluss, insbesondere einem Kraftfahrzeugverschluss, wie beispielsweise ein Seitentürschloss, zum Einsatz kommt. Der Schließbolzen des Schlosshalters wirkt dabei mit dem Schloss des Kraftfahrzeugs zusammen, wobei vorzugsweise eine Drehfalle mit dem Schließbolzen in Eingriff gelangt und eine lösbare Verbindung mit dem Schließbolzen bildet. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf derartige Schließbolzen bzw. Schlosshalter, die mit einer Montageplatte versehen sind. Die Montageplatte dient dabei dazu, einen Befestigungsbereich des Schlosshalters abzudecken und/oder den Schließbolzen selbst zu halten. Dabei können Schließbolzen zum Einsatz kommen, die unmittelbar mit der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie verbunden werden wie auch Schließbolzen, die mit der Montageplatte verbunden sind. Eine Verbindung zwischen Schließbolzen und Schlossplatte kann dabei derart hergestellt sein, dass der Schließbolzen mit der Schlossplatte verbindbar ist, der Schließbolzen kann aber auch einstückig mit der Schlossplatte ausgebildet sein. Dabei ist die Erfindung nicht darauf beschränkt, dass der Zylinderstift ausgeführt ist, sondern kann unterschiedliche Formen und Geometrien aufweisen. Dabei ist der Schließbolzen bevorzugt im Eingriffsbereich des Kraftfahrzeugschlosses und insbesondere der Drehfalle vorzugsweise zylindrisch ausgeführt. Handelt es sich bei dem Schließbolzen aber beispielsweise um einen U-förmig ausgeführten Schließbolzen, so können weitere Bereiche des Schließbolzens zylindrisch und/oder eckig ausgeführt sein. Darüber hinaus ist der Einsatz von als Winkel ausgeführten Schließbolzen ebenfalls vorstellbar. Dazu kann die Montageplatte beispielsweise ebenfalls als Winkel ausgeführt sein, so dass eine Montagefläche und eine von der Montagefläche abstehende zum Beispiel in einem rechten Winkel ausgeführte Abkantung umfassen. Die winkelförmige Montageplatte wie auch der winkelförmige Schließbolzen können dann entweder einstückig ausgebildet oder als separate Bauteile verbunden werden, so dass ein eine Öffnung aufweisender Schlosshalter gebildet ist.A lock holder can be used wherever movable, pivoting, sliding or, for example, caps are used in a motor vehicle. In this case, the lock holder comprises at least one locking bolt, which is used with a closure, in particular a motor vehicle closure, such as a side door lock. The lock pin of the lock holder interacts with the lock of the motor vehicle, wherein preferably a catch engages the striker and forms a releasable connection with the striker. The invention relates to such a locking pin or lock holder, which are provided with a mounting plate. The mounting plate serves to cover a mounting portion of the lock holder and / or to hold the locking pin itself. In this case, locking bolts can be used, which are directly connected to the vehicle body as well as locking pin, which are connected to the mounting plate. A connection between the locking pin and lock plate can be made such that the locking bolt is connectable to the lock plate, but the locking bolt can also be integrally formed with the lock plate. In this case, the invention is not limited to that of the cylinder pin is executed, but may have different shapes and geometries. In this case, the locking pin is preferably designed preferably cylindrical in the engagement region of the motor vehicle lock and in particular the rotary latch. If, however, the locking bolt is, for example, a U-shaped locking bolt, further areas of the locking bolt can be cylindrical and / or angular. In addition, the use of designed as an angle locking bolt is also conceivable. For this purpose, the mounting plate can for example also be designed as an angle, so that a mounting surface and a projecting from the mounting surface, for example, executed at a right angle formed edge. The angle-shaped mounting plate as well as the angle-shaped locking bolt can then either integrally formed or connected as separate components be formed so that an opening having a lock holder.
Die Montageplatte bzw. der Schlosshalter wird am Kraftfahrzeug befestigt. Dabei kann der Schlosshalter entweder an dem Fahrzeugrahmen befestigt sein oder sich an dem beweglichen Bauteil der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie, wie beispielsweise einer Seitentür oder Schiebetür befinden. Vorzugsweise ist der Schlosshalter mittels einer Schraubverbindung mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie verbunden. Bevorzugt ist der Schlosshalter mit einer Schraubverbindung und noch bevorzugter mit zwei Schraubverbindungen mit der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie verbunden. In noch weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsformen sind auch mehr als zwei Schraubverbindungen am Schlosshalter vorstellbar.The mounting plate or the lock holder is fastened to the motor vehicle. In this case, the lock holder can either be fastened to the vehicle frame or be located on the movable component of the motor vehicle body, such as a side door or sliding door. Preferably, the lock holder is connected by means of a screw connection to the vehicle body. Preferably, the lock holder is connected to the vehicle body with a screw connection and more preferably with two screw connections. In still further preferred embodiments, more than two screw connections on the lock holder are conceivable.
Zur Abdeckung der Schraubverbindung schlägt die Erfindungsmeldung vor, Abdeckkappen derart mit der Montageplatte zu verbinden, dass die Abdeckkappen zumindest bereichsweise eine gemeinsame Oberfläche mit der Montageplatte bildet. Die Ausbildung des Schlosshalters in der Form, dass Abdecckappe und Montageplatte eine gemeinsame Oberfläche mit einem zumindest bereichsweise übereinstimmenden Konturenverlauf aufweist, bietet den Vorteil, dass einerseits ein ästhetisches Aussehen des Schlosshalters erzielbar ist und gleichzeitig dem Bediener des Kraftfahrzeugs eine glatte Oberfläche gegenübersteht, die einerseits Verletzungen des Bedieners verhindert und darüber hinaus keine Angriffsflächen für an dem Schlosshalter vorbeigeführte Gegenstände bildet. Der Schlosshalter bildet somit in Kombination mit der Abdeckkappe eine integrale Einheit. Die Abdeckkappe kann dabei die Montageplatte lediglich bereichsweise überdecken, die Abdeckkappe überdeckt den Montagebereich der Montageplatte aber zumindest so weit, dass die zur Montage eingesetzten Befestigungsmittel abgedeckt sind.To cover the screw connection, the disclosure of the invention proposes to connect cover caps to the mounting plate in such a way that the cover caps at least partially form a common surface with the mounting plate. The design of the lock holder in the form that Abdecckappe and mounting plate has a common surface with an at least partially coincident contour curve, offers the advantage that on the one hand an aesthetic appearance of the lock holder can be achieved while the operator of the motor vehicle faces a smooth surface, on the one hand injuries prevents the operator and beyond forms no attack surfaces for past the lock holder objects. The lock holder thus forms an integral unit in combination with the cap. The cap can cover the mounting plate only partially, However, the cap covers the mounting area of the mounting plate but at least so far that the fastening means used for mounting are covered.
Es kann eine Abdeckkappe vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise ein Befestigungsmittel für den Schlosshalter abdeckt. Es ist erfindungsgemäß aber ebenfalls möglich, dass zwei, drei und mehr Abdeckkappen zur Abdeckung der Befestigungsmittel des Schlosshalters zum Einsatz kommen. Dabei kann auch eine Abdeckkappe derart ausgeführt sein, dass mehrere Befestigungsmittel überdeckt sind. Dabei kann die Abdeckkappe auch eine lediglich einheitliche mehrere Befestigungsmittel überdeckende Abdeckkappe bilden, wobei die Abdeckkappe selbst aber zwei- oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein kann. Das heißt, dass die Abdeckkappe in Bezug auf die Montageplatte eine Oberfläche abdeckt, die sich über die Montageplatte weg erstreckt und eine zusammenhängende Oberfläche abdeckt, wobei die Abdeckkappe selbst nicht zwingend einteilig ausgebildet sein muss. Vorstellbar ist es vielmehr ebenfalls, dass die Abdeckkappe zum Beispiel zweiteilig ausgebildet ist. Ein zwei- oder mehrteiliger Aufbau der Abdeckkappe kann dabei eine Montage der Abdeckkappe in vorteilhafter Weise erleichtern.It may be provided a cap that covers, for example, a fastener for the lock holder. However, it is also possible according to the invention that two, three or more cover caps are used to cover the fastening means of the lock holder. In this case, a cap can be designed such that a plurality of fastening means are covered. In this case, the cap can also form a uniform only a plurality of fastening means covering cap, the cap itself but may be formed in two or more parts. That is, with respect to the mounting plate, the cap covers a surface that extends beyond the mounting plate and covers a continuous surface, wherein the cap itself may not necessarily be integrally formed. Rather, it is also conceivable that the cap is formed, for example, in two parts. A two- or multi-part construction of the cap can facilitate an assembly of the cap in an advantageous manner.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ergibt sich dann ein Vorteil, wenn die Abdeckkappe zumindest bereichsweise bündig mit einem Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte abschließt. Ein bündiges Abschließen der Abdeckkappe mit der Oberfläche der Montageplatte ermöglicht es hierbei zum Beispiel, dass ein Montieren der Abdeckkappe erleichtert wird. In vorteilhafter Weise kann beispielsweise ein Bediener, der die Abdeckkappe auf der Montageplatte montiert, alleine durch das haptische Feedback einer bündigen Anlagefläche der Abdeckkappe ein ordnungsgemäßes Montieren feststellen. Vorzugsweise bilden die Abdeckkappe und die Montageplatte eine Oberfläche des Schlosshalters. Ist die Abdeckkappe derart in die Oberfläche des Schlosshalters bzw. der Montageplatte eingelassen, dass die Abdeckkappe bündig mit einem Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte abschließt, so können ebene Oberflächen erzielt und gleichzeitig ein qualitativ hochwertiges Aussehen erzielt werden. Insbesondere durch das bündige Abschließen und vorzugsweise ein spaltfreies Einfügen der Abdeckkappe in die Montageplatte des Schlosshalters kann ein qualitativ hochwertes Aussehen erzielt werden. Neben dem qualitativen Aussehen bildet ein bündiges Abschließen der Abdeckkappe mit der Montageplatte den Vorteil, dass Verschmutzungen und/oder Nässe nicht in den Bereich der Befestigungsmittel eindringen kann. Hierdurch wird das Befestigungsmittel geschont und das Reinigen des Schlosshalters erleichtert.In one embodiment of the invention, there is an advantage if the cap is at least partially flush with a surface region of the mounting plate. A flush completion of the cap with the surface of the mounting plate allows this, for example, that a mounting of the cap is facilitated. Advantageously, for example, an operator who mounted the cap on the mounting plate, alone by the haptic feedback of a flush contact surface of the cap notice a proper mounting. Preferably, the cap and the mounting plate form a surface of the lock holder. If the cap is inserted into the surface of the lock holder or the mounting plate in such a way that the cap is flush with a surface area of the mounting plate, flat surfaces can be achieved and at the same time a high-quality appearance can be achieved. In particular, by the flush closing and preferably a gap-free insertion of the cap in the mounting plate of the lock holder, a high quality appearance can be achieved. In addition to the qualitative appearance is a flush closing the cap with the mounting plate has the advantage that dirt and / or moisture can not penetrate into the region of the fastener. As a result, the fastener is conserved and facilitates the cleaning of the lock holder.
Schließt die Abdeckkappe umfänglich bündig mit einem Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte ab, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Ist die Abdeckkappe derart ausgebildet, dass der Umfang der Abdecckappe mit der Montageplatte abschließt und insbesondere übergangslos abschließt, so kann in vorteilhafter Weise ein Einlagenelement für den Schlosshalter gebildet werden. Ein Einlageelement bildet bei einer umfänglich bündigen Anlagefläche zwischen Abdeckkappe und Montageplatte ein integrales Bestandteil der Oberfläche des Schlosshalters. Wird im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung von einem Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte gesprochen, so ist hiermit bevorzugt die Oberfläche beschrieben, die dem Bediener des Kraftfahrzeugs entgegensteht bzw. die der der Anlagefläche der Montageplatte an der Karosserie gegenüberliegt. Mit anderen Worten es ist der sichtbare Oberflächenbereich des Schlosshalters beschrieben, der für den Nutzer des Kraftfahrzeugs sichtbar ist, wenn er das Kraftfahrzeug bedient. Die Abdeckkappe kann auch dann umfänglich mit einem Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte abschließen, wenn die Abdeckkappe nicht vollumfänglich von einem Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte umschlossen ist. So kann beispielsweise die Abdeckkappe auch einen abschließenden Bereich der Montageplatte bilden, so dass ein Randbereich der Montageplatte einerseits aus der Montageplatte und andererseits aus der Abdeckkappe gebildet ist.Closes the cap circumferentially flush with a surface portion of the mounting plate, so there is a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. If the cover cap is designed in such a way that the circumference of the cover cap is flush with the mounting plate and, in particular, terminates without transition, then advantageously a insert element for the lock holder can be formed. An insert element forms an integral part of the surface of the lock holder at a circumferentially flush contact surface between the cap and mounting plate. Is spoken in connection with the invention of a surface area of the mounting plate, it is hereby preferably described the surface that the operator of the motor vehicle opposes or which is opposite to the contact surface of the mounting plate on the body. In other words, the visible surface area of the lock holder is described, which is visible to the user of the motor vehicle when operating the motor vehicle. The cap can then complete circumferentially with a surface portion of the mounting plate when the cap is not fully enclosed by a surface portion of the mounting plate. Thus, for example, the cap also form a final region of the mounting plate, so that an edge region of the mounting plate is formed on the one hand from the mounting plate and on the other hand from the cap.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist ein Oberflächenbereich der Abdeckkappe eine Vertiefung auf, insbesondere eine Vertiefung in Bezug auf einen Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte. Eine Vertiefung in einem Oberflächenbereich der Abdeckkappe kann einerseits ästhetischen Ansprüchen dienen, eine Vertiefung kann aber auch funktional bedingt sein, so dass beispielsweise funktionale Elemente, die mit dem Schließbolzen zusammenwirken, sehr nah an die Montageplatte herangeführt werden können. Dient die eine oder zwei oder mehrere Vertiefungen in der Abdeckkappe einerseits funktionalen Erfordernissen, so ist es darüber hinaus ebenfalls vorstellbar, die Vertiefungen für das Einfügen von Zeichen, Marken, Symbolen und/oder Ziffern zu verwenden, um lediglich beispielhaft Nutzungsmöglichkeiten zum Einfügen in die Vertiefungen zu nennen. Neben der Aufnahme von zum Beispiel Warenzeichen in die Vertiefungen, ist es auch vorstellbar, dass beispielsweise sicherheitsrelevante Angaben, wie beispielsweise alphanumerische Zeichen dort angegeben werden, so dass beispielsweise eine Angabe für den Reifendruck in die Vertiefung einfügbar ist. Selbstverständlich ist es erfindungsgemäß vorstellbar, dass ein, zwei oder mehr Vertiefungen in eine, zwei oder mehrere Abdeckkappen eines Schlosshalters einfügbar sind.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a surface region of the covering cap has a depression, in particular a depression with respect to a surface region of the mounting plate. A depression in a surface region of the covering cap can on the one hand serve aesthetic requirements, but a depression can also be functionally conditioned so that, for example, functional elements which interact with the locking bolt can be brought very close to the mounting plate. If the one or two or more depressions in the covering cap serves functional requirements, it is also conceivable to use the depressions for the insertion of characters, marks, symbols and / or numbers, for example only, uses for insertion into the depressions to call. In addition to the inclusion of, for example, trademarks in the wells, it is also conceivable that, for example, safety-related information, such as alphanumeric Sign are given there, so that, for example, an indication of the tire pressure in the recess can be inserted. Of course, it is inventively conceivable that one, two or more depressions in one, two or more caps of a lock holder can be inserted.
Erfindungsgemäß ist
die Montageplatte mittels zumindest einem Befestigungsmittel an einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie montierbar und die Abdeckkappe formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig mit dem Befestigungsmittel verbindbar. In vorteilhafter Weise kann der Schlosshalter mittels eines Befestigungsmittels und bevorzugt mittels einer Schraubverbindung an der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie montiert sein. Wie bereits vorstehend erläutert, ist die Befestigung des Schlosshalters nicht an dem Rahmen der Karosserie zwingend gebunden, sondern kann auch an Klappen, Handschuhfächer oder Schiebetüren montiert sein. Eine Schraube als Befestigungsmittel stellt eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform dar. Ob Senkkopfschraube oder andere Ausführungsformen von Schrauben zum Einsatz kommen, ist nicht erfindungswesentlich, im Rahmen dieses Ausführungsbeispiels ist es jedoch wesentlich, wenn die Abdeckkappe unmittelbar an dem Befestigungsmittel selbst befestigt wird. Vorteilhaft ist dabei, dass keine separaten Befestigungsmittel für die Abdeckkappe auszubilden sind, da das Befestigungsmittel selbst das Mittel zum Befestigen der Abdeckkappe bereitstellt.
In einer Ausführungsform ist die Abdeckkappe in das Befestigungsmittel einfügbar. Ist beispielsweise das Befestigungsmittel eine Schraube mit einer Öffnung für einen Innensechskant, so kann die Abdeckkappe in die Öffnung des Vierkants des Befestigungsmittels eingefügt werden. Der Innensechskant wirkt dann als Haltemittel für die Abdeckkappe. Wird diesbezüglich die Abdeckkappe bündig in einen Oberflächenbereich der Montageplatte eingefügt, so kann mittels der Öffnung in der Montageplatte eine Führung beim Montieren der Abdeckkappe bereitgestellt werden, wohingegen die Öffnung im Befestigungsmittel als Haltemittel für die Abdeckkappe dienen kann.According to the invention
the mounting plate by means of at least one fastening means to a motor vehicle body mountable and the cap positively and / or non-positively connectable with the fastening means. Advantageously, the lock holder can be mounted by means of a fastening means and preferably by means of a screw connection to the motor vehicle body. As already explained above, the attachment of the lock holder is not necessarily bound to the frame of the body, but may also be mounted on flaps, glove boxes or sliding doors. A screw as a fastener is an advantageous embodiment. Whether countersunk screw or other embodiments of screws are used, is not essential to the invention, in the context of this embodiment, however, it is essential if the cap is attached directly to the fastener itself. It is advantageous that no separate fastening means for the cap are to be formed, since the fastening means itself provides the means for securing the cap.
In one embodiment, the cap is inserted into the fastener. For example, if the fastener is a screw with an opening for a hexagon socket, so the cap can be inserted into the opening of the square of the fastener. The hexagon then acts as a holding means for the cap. In this regard, when the cap is inserted flush into a surface area of the mounting plate, a guide can be provided by mounting the cap in the mounting plate by means of the opening in the mounting plate, whereas the opening in the fastening means can serve as a holding means for the cap.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform ergibt sich dann, wenn die Abdeckkappe formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig mit der Montageplatte verbindbar ist. Wird die Montageplatte selbst zum Halten der Abdeckkappe verwendet, so kann auf zusätzliche Haltemittel für die Abdeckkappe verzichtet werden. Diese Form der Befestigung bildet eine kostengünstige und konstruktiv einfache Möglichkeit einer Ausgestaltung eines Einfügens der Abdeckkappe in die Montageplatte. Zur Herstellung zum Beispiel einer kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Abdeckkappe und Montageplatte muss lediglich eine geeignete Toleranz zwischen den beiden Bauteilen ausgeführt werden, um ein Halten der Abdeckkappe zu gewährleisten.A further embodiment results when the cap is positively and / or non-positively connected to the mounting plate. If the mounting plate itself used to hold the cap, so can be dispensed with additional retaining means for the cap. This form of attachment forms a cost-effective and structurally simple way of designing an insertion of the cap in the mounting plate. To produce, for example, a frictional connection between the cover cap and the mounting plate, only a suitable tolerance between the two components has to be carried out in order to ensure retention of the cover cap.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Abdeckkappe in die Montageplatte einschiebbar und/oder einclipsbar ausgebildet. Das Einschieben der Abdeckkappe in die Montageplatte bietet gleich mehrere Vorteile. Mittels eines Einschiebens kann durch eine eindeutige Ausrichtung der Abdeckkappe in Bezug auf die Montageplatte eine Fehlmontage der Abdecckappe unterbunden werden. Darüber hinaus ist eine eingeschobene Abdeckkappe besonders leicht demontierbar. Insbesondere in einer Kombination aus einschiebbarer Abdeckkappe und einrastbarer Abdeckkappe kann ein sicheres Montieren und Befestigen der Abdeckkappe auf oder am Schlosshalter gewährleistet werden. Ein sicheres Montieren kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass zuerst ein Einschieben und letztlich zum endgültigen Befestigen der Abdeckkappe ein Einclipsen der Abdeckkappe erfolgt. Somit wird die Abdeckkappe während der Montage geführt und letztlich durch die Clipsverbindung am Schlosshalter fixiert.In a further embodiment, the covering cap can be inserted and / or clipped into the mounting plate. The insertion of the cap in the mounting plate offers several advantages. By inserting a misalignment of Abdecckappe can be prevented by a clear orientation of the cap with respect to the mounting plate. In addition, an inserted cap is particularly easy to disassemble. In particular, in a combination of retractable cap and latchable cap can be a safe mounting and securing the cap on or on the lock holder guaranteed. A secure mounting can be done, for example, by first inserting and finally for final fixing of the cap is a clipping of the cap. Thus, the cap is guided during assembly and ultimately fixed by the clip connection on the lock holder.
Weist die Montageplatte und/oder die Abdeckkappe ein Rastmittel auf, so dass ein Einrasten der Abdeckkappe ermöglichbar ist, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Ein Rastmittel bietet den Vorteil, dass beispielsweise neben einem haptischen Feedback für den Monteur der Abdeckkappe auch ein akustisches Einrasten eine ordnungsgemäße Montage der Abdeckkappe bestätigen kann. Wird in einer Ausführungsform die Abdeckkappe beispielsweise als Einlegeelement in die Montageplatten ausgebildet, so kann einerseits eine formschlüssige Verbindung ein Halten und zusätzlich ein Rastmittel ein Fixieren der Abdeckkappe ermöglichen. Insbesondere aus den verschiedenen Befestigungsmöglichkeiten und/oder Verbindungsmöglichkeiten zwischen Abdeckkappe und Montageplatte ergibt sich eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, um die Abdeckkappe sicher mit der Montageplatte zu verbinden. Es wird noch einmal ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass die hier genannten Beispiele nicht beschränkend sind, sondern dass je nach Ausgestaltung des Schlosshalters natürlich unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungsformen der Abdeckplatte unterschiedliche Haltemechanismen und Kombinationen der vorstehend genannten Verbindungsmittel zwischen Abdeckkappe und Montageplatte bedingen können.If the mounting plate and / or the cover cap has a latching means, so that latching of the cover cap is possible, this results in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. A locking means has the advantage that, for example, in addition to a haptic feedback for the fitter of the cap and an acoustic engagement can confirm a proper installation of the cap. If, in one embodiment, the covering cap is formed, for example, as an inserting element into the mounting plates, then on the one hand a form-locking connection can make it possible to hold and additionally a locking means to fix the covering cap. In particular, from the various mounting options and / or connectivity between cap and mounting plate results in a variety of ways to securely connect the cap with the mounting plate. It is expressly pointed out again that the examples given here are not restrictive, but that depending on the design of the lock holder, of course, different embodiments of the cover plate different holding mechanisms and combinations of the above-mentioned connecting means between cap and mounting plate can cause.
In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Schlosshalter aus Stahl, insbesondere einem Chromstahl und/oder einem verchromten Stahl, und die Abdeckkappe aus Kunststoff, insbesondere einem schwarz eingefärbten Kunststoff, gebildet. Chromstähle und/oder verchromte Stähle bieten den Vorteil einer besonders glatten und ebenen Oberfläche. Im Zusammenspiel zwischen der glatten Oberfläche des Schlosshalters und dem bündigen Einfügen der Abdeckkappe oder Abdeckkappen ergibt sich somit eine besonders glatte, ebene und somit sichere Ausführungsform eines Schlosshalters. Es ergeben sich weder vorstehende Kanten noch Angriffsmittel für einen Bediener, so dass ein Verletzen an vorstehenden Kanten oder Oberflächen am Schlosshalter nahezu vollständig unterbunden wird.In one embodiment of the invention, the lock holder is made of steel, in particular a chromium steel and / or a chromium-plated steel, and the cap made of plastic, in particular a black-colored plastic. Chromium steels and / or chrome-plated steels offer the advantage of a particularly smooth and even surface. The interaction between the smooth surface of the lock holder and the flush insertion of the cap or caps thus results in a particularly smooth, even and thus secure embodiment of a lock holder. There are neither protruding edges nor means of attack for an operator, so that injury to protruding edges or surfaces on the lock holder is almost completely prevented.
Weist der Schlosshalter mindestens zwei, insbesondere symmetrisch angeordnete Abdeckkappen auf, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung. Ein symmetrischer Aufbau des Schlosshalters bietet den Vorteil, einer gleichmäßigen Kraftaufnahme durch den Schlosshalter und auch einer gleichmäßigen Weiterleitung der aufgenommenen Kraft in die Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie. Ein symmetrischer Aufbau des Schlosshalters in Kombination mit symmetrischen Abdeckkappen kann somit einerseits ein vollendetes ästhetisches Aussehen generieren und andererseits dem Bediener die Symmetrie des Aufbaus des Schlosshalters verdeutlichen und unterstreichen. Darüber hinaus bietet der symmetrische Aufbau gleiche Bauteile zur Abdeckung der Befestigungsmittel am Schlosshalter einzusetzen, was wiederum die Anzahl der unterschiedlichen benötigten Bauteile reduziert.If the lock holder has at least two, in particular symmetrically arranged cover caps, the result is a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. A symmetrical structure of the lock holder offers the advantage of a uniform force absorption by the lock holder and also a uniform transmission of the absorbed force in the vehicle body. A symmetrical structure of the lock holder in combination with symmetrical cover caps can thus on the one hand generate a perfect aesthetic appearance and on the other hand clarify and emphasize the operator the symmetry of the construction of the lock holder. In addition, the symmetrical structure provides the same components to cover the fasteners on the lock holder to use, which in turn reduces the number of different components required.
In vorteilhafter Weise kann die Abdeckkappe zumindest bereichsweise einen Randbereich des Schlosshalters bilden. Die Abdeckkappe schließt bereichsweise mit der Oberfläche des Schlosshalters ab. Darüber hinaus kann die Abdeckkappe derart ausgebildet sein, dass die Abdeckkappe bis in einen Randbereich des Karosserieteils heranreichen kann, der den Schlosshalter aufnimmt. In diesem Fall bildet die Abdecckappe einen Randbereich des Schlosshalters. Die Abdeckkappe ist folglich lediglich bereichsweise umfänglich von der Montageplatte umschlossen. Die ein, zwei oder mehreren Abdeckkappen sind dabei derart ausbildbar, dass sie an ihrem Umfang der Oberfläche der Montageplatte folgen, so dass auch zur Oberfläche der Montageplatte geneigte Flächen an der Abdeckkappe ausgebildet sind.Advantageously, the cap at least partially form an edge region of the lock holder. The cap closes partially with the surface of the lock holder. In addition, the cap may be formed such that the cap can reach into an edge region of the body part, which receives the lock holder. In this case, the Abdecckappe forms an edge region of the lock holder. The cap is therefore only partially enclosed circumferentially of the mounting plate. The one, two or more cover caps are thereby formed such that they follow at its periphery of the surface of the mounting plate, so that also inclined to the surface of the mounting plate surfaces are formed on the cap.
Bildet die Abdeckkappe einen integralen Bestandteil des Schlosshalters, so dass insbesondere die Abdeckkappe im Zusammenspiel mit der Montageplatte eine einheitliche Oberfläche bildet, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung. Als integrales Bestandteil des Schlosshalters kann die Abdeckkappe derart ausgebildet sein, dass sich eine der Oberfläche des Schlosshalters und insbesondere der Montageplatte folgende Oberfläche ausbildet. Ist beispielsweise der Schlosshalter und insbesondere die Schlosshalterplatte in einer der Karosserie folgenden kurvigen Form ausgebildet, so folgt die Abdecckappe der geometrischen Form des Schlosshalters. Dabei kann die Abdeckkappe folglich auch kurvig ausgebildet sein, das heißt beispielsweise einen der Montageplatte folgenden Radius aufweisen. Ein integraler Bestandteil kann somit dadurch gebildet sein, dass die Abdeckkappe der Form der Montageplatte in Bezug auf die Oberfläche der Montageplatte folgt, wie auch dadurch, dass die Abdeckkappe hin zu einem oder mehreren Randbereichen des Schlosshalters ausgebildet ist.If the covering cap forms an integral part of the lock holder, so that in particular the covering cap forms a uniform surface in interaction with the mounting plate, this results in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. As an integral part of the lock holder, the cap may be formed such that one of the surface of the lock holder and in particular the mounting plate forms the following surface. For example, if the lock holder and in particular the lock holder plate formed in a curvy shape following the body, then the Abdecckappe follows the geometric shape of the lock holder. In this case, the cap can therefore also be formed curvy, that is, for example, have a radius of the mounting plate. An integral component may thus be formed by the cap covering the shape of the mounting plate with respect to the surface of the mounting plate follows, as well as in that the cap is formed towards one or more edge regions of the lock holder.
Weist die Abdeckkappe zumindest bereichsweise eine metallische und/oder metallisch anmutende Oberfläche auf, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Ist beispielsweise der Schlosshalter aus einem Chromstahl bzw. einem verchromten Stahl ausgeführt, so wird dem Bediener eine glatte, vor Verletzung schützende und leicht zu reinigende Oberfläche gegenübergestellt. Wird nun die Abdeckkappe ebenfalls in einer glänzenden metallischen zum Beispiel auch einem Chrom ähnelnde Oberfläche ausgebildet, so steht dem Bediener eine einheitliche metallisch glänzende Oberfläche gegenüber. Dabei ist es auch vorstellbar, dass die Abdeckkappe ebenfalls aus einem verchromten Kunststoff gebildet ist. Ein metallisches Beschichten des Kunststoffs kann beispielsweise mittels eines PVD-Verfahrens erfolgen.If the covering cap has a metallic and / or metallic-like surface at least in regions, this results in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. For example, if the lock holder made of a chromium steel or a chromium-plated steel, the operator is compared to a smooth, protective against injury and easy to clean surface. Now, if the cap is also formed in a shiny metallic, for example, a chrome-like surface, the operator faces a uniform shiny metallic surface. It is also conceivable that the cap is also formed of a chrome-plated plastic. A metallic coating of the plastic can be done for example by means of a PVD process.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegenden Zeichnungen anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert. Es gilt jedoch der Grundsatz, dass die Ausführungsbeispiele die Erfindung nicht beschränken, sondern lediglich vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsformen darstellen. Die dargestellten Merkmale können einzeln oder in Kombination mit weiteren Merkmalen der Beschreibung wie auch den Patentansprüchen einzeln oder in Kombination ausgeführt werden.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to preferred embodiments. However, it is the principle that the embodiments do not limit the invention, but represent only advantageous embodiments. The illustrated features may be performed individually or in combination with other features of the specification as well as the claims individually or in combination.
