Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Vorhangschloss, welches auch als Hangschloss oder Vorhängeschloss bezeichnet werden kann, mit einem Schlosskörper und einem zwischen einer Geschlossenstellung und einer Offenstellung überführbaren Bügel, der ein erstes Bügelende und ein zweites Bügelende aufweist, wobei in dem Schlosskörper eine erste Bügelaufnahme für das erste Bügelende und eine zweite Bügelaufnahme für das zweite Bügelende ausgebildet sind, wobei ein Riegelmechanismus vorgesehen ist, der mittels eines um eine Zylinderachse drehbaren Zylinderkerns zwischen einer Sperrstellung, in der der Riegelmechanismus den Bügel in der Geschlossenstellung festsetzt, und einer Freigabestellung, in der der Riegelmechanismus den Bügel für ein Überführen in die Offenstellung freigibt, verstellbar ist.The present invention relates to a padlock, which can also be referred to as a padlock or padlock, with a lock body and a shackle which can be transferred between a closed position and an open position and has a first shackle end and a second shackle end, with a first shackle receptacle for the in the lock body first bracket end and a second bracket receptacle are formed for the second bracket end, wherein a locking mechanism is provided which by means of a cylinder core rotatable about a cylinder axis between a locking position in which the locking mechanism fixes the bracket in the closed position, and a release position in which the locking mechanism releases the bracket for transferring it into the open position, is adjustable.

Der Bügel eines Vorhangschlosses, wie es vorstehend erläutert ist, ist üblicherweise starr und U-förmig mit zwei Bügelschenkeln, die die beiden Bügelenden bilden, und insbesondere aus Stahl, ausgebildet. Ein derartiger Bügel kann zwischen der Geschlossenstellung, in der beide Bügelenden in den Schlosskörper eingeführt sind, und der Offenstellung, in der einer der beiden Bügelenden weiterhin in dem Schlosskörper gehalten wird, versetzt werden, während der andere aus dem Schlosskörper austritt. Der Riegelmechanismus ist dazu vorgesehen, den Bügel in der Geschlossenstellung an dem Schlosskörper zu verriegeln, also gegen ein Überführen, insbesondere Versetzen, in die Offenstellung zu sperren. Der Zylinderkern, der mit dem Riegelmechanismus antriebswirksam gekoppelt ist, kann mittels eines zugeordneten Schlüssels betätigt werden, um den Riegelmechanismus von der Sperrstellung in die Freigabestellung zu verstellen, wodurch das Vorhangschloss geöffnet werden kann. Ein derartiges Vorhangschloss ist beispielsweise aus dem Dokument US 2014/0360234 A1 bekannt.The shackle of a padlock, as explained above, is usually rigid and U-shaped with two shackle legs that form the two shackle ends, and in particular made of steel. Such a shackle can be moved between the closed position in which both shackle ends are inserted into the lock body and the open position in which one of the two shackle ends is still held in the lock body, while the other emerges from the lock body. The locking mechanism is provided to lock the bracket in the closed position on the lock body, that is to say to block it from being transferred, in particular from being moved, into the open position. The cylinder core, which is operatively coupled to the locking mechanism, can be actuated by means of an associated key in order to move the locking mechanism from the locking position into the release position, whereby the padlock can be opened. Such a padlock is for example from the document US 2014/0360234 A1 known.

Es sind jedoch auch eingangs genannte Vorhangschlösser bekannt, beispielsweise aus dem Dokument DE 10 2015 117 253 A1 , bei denen der Bügel flexibel ausgebildet ist, insbesondere als Kabel- oder Seilbügel. Derartige Vorhangschlösser eignen sich aufgrund der Biegsamkeit ihres Bügels insbesondere für Anwendungen im Lockout-Tagout-Bereich (LOTO), d.h. als Wartungssicherungen, um Schalter und dergleichen in einer bestimmten Stellung zu fixieren. Hierdurch kann ein wirksamer Schutz vor einem unbefugten Zugriff oder beispielsweise einem unbeabsichtigten Einschalten während eines laufenden Wartungsvorgangs gewährleistet werden. In der Freigabestellung des Riegelmechanismus wird eines der beiden Bügelenden des flexiblen Bügels für ein Versetzen aus der entsprechenden Bügelaufnahme - und damit der Bügel für ein Überführen in die Offenstellung - freigegeben, wobei das andere Bügelende gegen eine Entnahme aus seiner Bügelaufnahme gesichert, insbesondere fest in seiner Bügelaufnahme fixiert ist.However, padlocks mentioned at the beginning are also known, for example from the document DE 10 2015 117 253 A1 , in which the bracket is designed to be flexible, in particular as a cable or rope bracket. Because of the flexibility of their shackle, such padlocks are particularly suitable for applications in the lockout-tagout area (LOTO), ie as maintenance safeguards to fix switches and the like in a certain position. This ensures effective protection against unauthorized access or, for example, unintentional switching on during an ongoing maintenance process. In the release position of the locking mechanism, one of the two bracket ends of the flexible bracket is released for moving out of the corresponding bracket receptacle - and thus the bracket for transferring to the open position - the other bracket end being secured against removal from its bracket receptacle, in particular firmly in its Bracket mount is fixed.

Gemäß diesen Dokumenten ist also ein zur Verwendung mit einem starren Bügel konstruiertes Vorhangschloss jedoch nicht mit einem flexiblen Bügel verwendbar, und umgekehrt. Für jede der beiden Vorhangschlossarten ist daher eine eigene Entwicklung und eigene Fertigung mit entsprechend hohen Kosten erforderlich.According to these documents, however, a padlock designed for use with a rigid shackle cannot be used with a flexible shackle, and vice versa. For each of the two types of padlocks, it is therefore necessary to develop and manufacture it in-house, with correspondingly high costs.

Ein Vorhangschloss gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wobei sowohl ein starrer Bügel als auch ein flexibler Bügel verwendbar ist, kann im Dokument US2016/0312497 A1 gefunden werden.A padlock according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein both a rigid bracket and a flexible bracket can be used, can be found in the document US2016 / 0312497 A1 being found.

Der Erfindung liegt daher insbesondere die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein alternatives Vorhangschloss der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das kostengünstig herstellbar ist und eine Flexibilität eines Herstellers bei der Fertigung und im Vertrieb zulässt.The invention is therefore based in particular on the object of creating an alternative padlock of the type mentioned at the beginning, which can be manufactured inexpensively and allows a manufacturer to be flexible in production and sales.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Vorhangschloss mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, und insbesondere dadurch, dass in dem Schlosskörper sowohl ein erster Rückhaltestiftkanal für einen starren Bügel als auch ein zweiter Rückhaltestiftkanal für einen flexiblen Bügel ausgebildet sind, wobei der erste Rückhaltestiftkanal in die erste Bügelaufnahme und der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal in die zweite Bügelaufnahme mündet, wobei ein Rückhaltestift vorgesehen ist, der bei starrem Bügel in den ersten Rückhaltestiftkanal und bei flexiblem Bügel in den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal eingesetzt ist, wobei der Rückhaltestift in der Offenstellung des Bügels bei starrem Bügel in den ersten Rückhaltestiftkanal eintaucht und das erste Bügelende gegen eine Entnahme aus der ersten Bügelaufnahme sichert und bei flexiblen Bügel in den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal eintaucht und das zweite Bügelende gegen eine Entnahme aus der zweiten Bügelaufnahme sichert.This object is achieved by a padlock with the features of claim 1, and in particular that in the lock body both a first retaining pin channel for a rigid bracket and a second retaining pin channel for a flexible bracket are formed, the first retaining pin channel opening into the first bracket receptacle and the second retaining pin channel into the second bracket receiving, wherein a retaining pin is provided which is inserted into the first retaining pin channel with a rigid bracket and into the second retaining pin channel when the bracket is flexible, with the retaining pin in the open position of the bracket dips into the first retaining pin channel when the bracket is rigid and secures the first bracket end against being removed from the first bracket receptacle and when the bracket is flexible it dips into the second retaining pin channel and secures the second bracket end against being removed from the second bracket receptacle.

Erfindungsgemäß können für beide Vorhangschlossarten neben einem gleichen Drehzylinder auch der gleiche Schlosskörper und der gleiche Riegelmechanismus verwendet werden. Abhängig davon, ob das Vorhangschloss mit einem starren Bügel oder mit einem flexiblen Bügel ausgestattet sein soll, muss - neben der Auswahl des entsprechenden Bügels - beim Zusammenbau lediglich ein Rückhaltestift entweder in den ersten Rückhaltestiftkanal oder in den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal eingesetzt werden. Durch die Verwendung baugleicher Teile ist eine stückkostengünstige Fertigung der Einzelteile möglich. Darüber hinaus kann nachfrageabhängig vermehrt die eine oder die andere Vorhangschlossart zusammengebaut bzw. hergestellt werden.According to the invention, in addition to the same rotary cylinder, the same lock body and the same bolt mechanism can also be used for both types of padlock. Depending on whether the padlock is to be equipped with a rigid shackle or with a flexible shackle, in addition to selecting the appropriate shackle, only one retaining pin needs to be inserted into either the first retaining pin channel or the second retaining pin channel during assembly. The use of structurally identical parts enables the individual parts to be manufactured at low cost per piece. In addition, depending on demand, one or the other type of padlock can be assembled or manufactured.

Insbesondere wurde erkannt, dass ein wie aus dem Dokument US 2014/0360234 A1 bekannter Schlosskörper für einen starren Bügel mit einem Rückhaltestiftkanal im Bereich einer der beiden Bügelaufnahmen durch Vorsehen eines weiteren Rückhaltestiftkanals im Schlosskörper im Bereich der anderen Bügelaufnahme auch für einen flexiblen Bügel verwendbar ist, ohne dass hierzu der Riegelmechanismus geändert werden müsste. Insbesondere ist es nicht erforderlich, einen speziell ausgebildeten Riegelmechanismus vorzusehen, wie er in dem Dokument DE 10 2015 117 253 A1 verwendet wird, um in der Offenstellung des flexiblen Bügels ein Lösen des flexiblen Bügels bzw. des zweiten Bügelendes des flexiblen Bügels von dem Schlosskörper zu verhindern.In particular, it was recognized that an as from the document US 2014/0360234 A1 known lock body for a rigid shackle with a retaining pin channel in the area of one of the two shackle receptacles by providing a further retaining pin channel in the lock body in the area of the other shackle receptacle can also be used for a flexible shackle without having to change the locking mechanism. In particular, it is not necessary to provide a specially designed locking mechanism as described in the document DE 10 2015 117 253 A1 used to be in the open position of the flexible bracket to prevent a loosening of the flexible bracket or the second bracket end of the flexible bracket from the lock body.

Insbesondere erstrecken sich der erste und der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal von einer Vorderseite zu einer Rückseite des Schlosskörpers. Bevorzugt ist es, wenn der erste Rückhaltestiftkanal in einem radialen Randbereich der ersten Bügelaufnahme in die erste Bügelaufnahme mündet und/oder der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal in einem radialen Randbereich der zweiten Bügelaufnahme in die zweite Bügelaufnahme mündet. Bevorzugt sind der erste und der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal jeweils als eine insbesondere zylindrische Bohrung ausgebildet. Insbesondere können die beiden Rückhaltestiftkanäle den Schlosskörper jeweils vollständig durchsetzen. Der Bügel ist in einer Verwendungsstellung des Vorhangschlosses oberhalb des Schlosskörpers angeordnet. Bei einem flexiblen Bügel kann es sich um ein insbesondere mit einem Kunststoff überzogenes Stahlkabel handeln.In particular, the first and second retaining pin channels extend from a front to a rear of the lock body. It is preferred if the first retaining pin channel opens into the first bracket receptacle in a radial edge region of the first bracket receiver and / or the second retaining pin channel opens into the second bracket receiver in a radial edge area of the second bracket receiver. The first and the second retaining pin channel are preferably each designed as a particularly cylindrical bore. In particular, the two retaining pin channels can each completely penetrate the lock body. In a position of use of the padlock, the bracket is arranged above the lock body. A flexible bracket can be a steel cable coated in particular with a plastic.

Vorzugsweise weisen die beiden Rückhaltestiftkanäle denselben Querschnitt, insbesondere denselben Durchmesser, auf, da dann für beide Vorhangschlossarten der gleiche Rückhaltestift verwendet werden kann. Es muss also nur ein Rückhaltestift gefertigt werden, der für beide Vorhangschlossarten passt. Grundsätzlich ist es aber auch möglich, dass sich die Querschnitte der beiden Rückhaltestiftkanäle voneinander unterscheiden, so dass für jede Vorhangschlossart ein eigener Rückhaltestift gefertigt werden muss.The two retaining pin channels preferably have the same cross section, in particular the same diameter, since the same retaining pin can then be used for both types of padlock. So only one retaining pin has to be manufactured that fits both types of padlocks. In principle, however, it is also possible that the cross-sections of the two retaining pin channels differ from one another, so that a separate retaining pin must be manufactured for each type of padlock.

Insbesondere ist der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal oberhalb des ersten Rückhaltestiftkanals und/oder unterhalb des Riegelmechanismus angeordnet. Ein übliches Vorhangschloss umfasst mehrere übereinander angeordnete Zuhaltungen. Der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal kann dann oberhalb der mehreren Zuhaltungen angeordnet sein, und/oder der erste Rückhaltestiftkanal kann dann neben und/oder unterhalb der obersten der mehreren Zuhaltungen angeordnet sein.In particular, the second retaining pin channel is arranged above the first retaining pin channel and / or below the locking mechanism. A common padlock comprises several tumblers arranged one above the other. The second retaining pin channel can then be arranged above the plurality of tumblers and / or the first retaining pin channel can then be arranged next to and / or below the topmost of the plurality of tumblers.

Bei starrem Bügel ist es bevorzugt, wenn das erste Bügelende eine Längsnut aufweist, in die der Rückhaltestift eingreift, um, insbesondere auch in der Freigabestellung des Riegelmechanismus, das erste Bügelende versetzbar in der ersten Bügelaufnahme zu sichern. In der Offenstellung des starren Bügels kann der Rückhaltestift dann an einem die Längsnut begrenzenden Blockiervorsprung des ersten Bügelendes anschlagen. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine geeignete Möglichkeit, in der Offenstellung des starren Bügels ein Lösen des starren Bügels von dem Schlosskörper zu verhindern.In the case of a rigid bracket, it is preferred if the first bracket end has a longitudinal groove into which the retaining pin engages in order to secure the first bracket end displaceably in the first bracket receptacle, especially in the release position of the locking mechanism. In the open position of the rigid bracket, the retaining pin can then strike a blocking projection of the first bracket end that delimits the longitudinal groove. This is a suitable way of preventing the rigid shackle from becoming detached from the lock body when the rigid shackle is in the open position.

Bei starrem Bügel ist es nicht erforderlich, dass in den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal ein weiterer Rückhaltestift eingesetzt wird, insbesondere deshalb, da mit einem derartigen weiteren Rückhaltestift in der Regel keine Funktion verbunden wäre.In the case of a rigid bracket, it is not necessary for a further restraint pin to be inserted into the second restraint pin channel, in particular because such a further restraint pin would generally not have any function.

Bei flexiblem Bügel ist es bevorzugt, wenn das zweite Bügelende eine Ausnehmung aufweist, in die der Rückhaltestift eingreift, um, insbesondere auch in der Freigabestellung des Riegelmechanismus, das zweite Bügelende fest in der zweiten Bügelaufnahme zu sichern, d.h. zu fixieren. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine geeignete Möglichkeit, in der Offenstellung des flexiblen Bügels ein Lösen des flexiblen Bügels bzw. des zweiten Bügelendes des flexiblen Bügels von dem Schlosskörper zu verhindern.In the case of a flexible bracket, it is preferred if the second bracket end has a recess into which the retaining pin engages in order to secure the second bracket end firmly in the second bracket receptacle, in particular also in the release position of the locking mechanism. to fix. This is a suitable possibility of preventing the flexible bracket or the second bracket end of the flexible bracket from becoming detached from the lock body in the open position of the flexible bracket.

Nach einer Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass in der ersten Bügelaufnahme eine Druckfeder aufgenommen ist, die das erste Bügelende, bei flexiblem Bügel insbesondere unter Zwischenschaltung eines Verlängerungsstifts, in Richtung der Offenstellung des Bügels drückt. Hierdurch kann ein automatisches, zumindest teilweises "Auswerfen" des starren Bügels aus der Geschlossenstellung bzw. des ersten Bügelendes des flexiblen Bügels aus dem Schlossgehäuse bei Verstellen des Riegelmechanismus in die Freigabestellung durch Betätigung des Zylinderkerns mittels des vorgenannten zugeordneten Schlüssels erreicht werden. Bei einem Vorhangschloss mit flexiblem Bügel hat dies insbesondere den Vorteil, dass sich automatisch erschließt, welches Bügelende den flexiblen Bügel öffnet. Ansonsten müsste das Bügelende eines flexiblen Bügels, das den Bügel öffnet, anderweitig kenntlich gemacht werden, oder dies müsste durch Probieren und Anziehen an den beiden Bügelenden herausgefunden werden.According to one embodiment it can be provided that a compression spring is received in the first bracket receptacle, which presses the first bracket end, in the case of a flexible bracket, in particular with the interposition of an extension pin, in the direction of the open position of the bracket. This allows automatic, at least partial "ejection" of the rigid bracket from the closed position or the first bracket end of the flexible bracket from the lock housing when the bolt mechanism is moved into the release position by actuating the cylinder core using the aforementioned associated key. In the case of a padlock with a flexible shackle, this has the particular advantage of that it automatically reveals which temple end opens the flexible temple. Otherwise, the temple end of a flexible temple that opens the temple would have to be identified in some other way, or this would have to be found out by trying and tightening the two temple ends.

Dabei kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass bei flexiblem Bügel in der ersten Bügelaufnahme ein Verlängerungsstück aufgenommen ist. Das Verlängerungsstück überträgt dabei die Druckkraft der Druckfeder auf das erste Bügelende des flexiblen Bügels. Durch das Verlängerungsstück kann die Druckfeder kurz und kompakt und/oder die Eintauchtiefe des ersten Bügelendes des flexiblen Bügels in den Schlosskörper bzw. in die erste Bügelaufnahme gering gehalten werden.In particular, it can be provided that, in the case of a flexible bracket, an extension piece is received in the first bracket receptacle. The extension piece transfers the compressive force of the compression spring to the first bracket end of the flexible bracket. By means of the extension piece, the compression spring can be kept short and compact and / or the depth of immersion of the first bracket end of the flexible bracket in the lock body or in the first bracket receptacle can be kept small.

Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Verlängerungsstück - analog zu dem ersten Bügelende eines starren Bügels - eine Längsnut aufweist und in den ersten Rückhaltestiftkanal ein weiterer Rückhaltestift eingesetzt ist, der in die Längsnut des Verlängerungsstücks eingreift, um das Verlängerungsstück versetzbar und unverlierbar in der ersten Bügelaufnahme zu halten.In particular, it can be provided that the extension piece - analogously to the first bracket end of a rigid bracket - has a longitudinal groove and a further retaining pin is inserted into the first retaining pin channel, which engages in the longitudinal groove of the extension piece so that it can be moved around the extension piece and cannot be lost in the first bracket receptacle to keep.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung wirkt der Zylinderkern über eine stirnseitige Mitnehmereinrichtung mit dem Riegelmechanismus zusammen. Bevorzugt umfasst der Riegelmechanismus zwei entgegengesetzt und jeweils in die Sperrstellung radial nach außen vorgespannte Riegel, in der die Riegel in der Geschlossenstellung des Bügels in jeweilige, in dem ersten und dem zweiten Bügelende ausgebildete Sperrabschnitte eingreifen, um den Bügel in der Geschlossenstellung festzusetzen. Hierdurch wird eine Automatik-Funktion realisiert, bei der beim Schließen des Bügels bzw. beim Überführen des Bügels aus der Offenstellung in die Geschlossenstellung, d.h. beim Herunterdrücken eines starren Bügels oder beim Hineindrücken des ersten Bügelendes eines flexiblen Bügels in die erste Bügelaufnahme, die beiden Riegel kurzzeitig radial nach innen zurückgedrückt werden, um anschließend in die beiden Sperrabschnitte einzurasten, so dass der Bügel in seiner Geschlossenstellung am Schlosskörper gesichert ist. Hierzu kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass die Riegel an ihren radial nach außen gerichteten Riegelenden jeweils eine Abschrägung aufweisen. Hierdurch wird eine Ein-Hand-Bedienung des Vorhangschlosses beim Schließen ermöglicht.According to one embodiment of the invention, the cylinder core interacts with the locking mechanism via a front-side driver device. Preferably, the locking mechanism comprises two opposing and each radially outwardly biased into the locking position, in which the locks in the closed position of the bracket engage in respective locking sections formed in the first and second bracket ends to fix the bracket in the closed position. This realizes an automatic function in which when closing the bracket or when transferring the bracket from the open position to the closed position, ie when pressing down a rigid bracket or when pressing the first bracket end of a flexible bracket into the first bracket receptacle, the two latches be briefly pushed back radially inwards to then snap into the two locking sections, so that the Bracket is secured in its closed position on the lock body. For this purpose, it can be provided in particular that the latches each have a bevel at their radially outwardly directed latch ends. This enables one-hand operation of the padlock when closing.

Bei einer Ausbildung des Vorhangschlosses ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Sperrabschnitte jeweils als eine zumindest teilweise um die Längsachse des jeweiligen Bügelendes umlaufende Nut, insbesondere vollumlaufende Ringnut, ausgebildet sind, wobei die Riegel an ihren radial nach außen gerichteten Riegelenden jeweils eine konkave, insbesondere teilzylindrische, Aussparung aufweisen, die jeweils gegenförmig zu einem dem jeweiligen Riegelende zugewandten Teil der jeweiligen Nut ausgebildet ist. Durch die zumindest teilweise umlaufende Nut wird die Materialschwächung des jeweiligen Bügelendes gegenüber einer einseitig angeordneten Kerbe gleichmäßiger verteilt. Durch die gegenförmige Aussparung wird ermöglicht, dass die Riegelenden auch seitlich umlaufend und damit letztlich tiefer in die zumindest teilweise umlaufende Nut eingreifen können, so dass einem Aufbruchversuch durch gewaltsames Herausziehen des Bügels aus den beiden Bügelaufnahmen verstärkt entgegengewirkt werden kann.In one embodiment of the padlock, it is preferred if the locking sections are each designed as a groove, in particular a fully circumferential annular groove, at least partially around the longitudinal axis of the respective bracket end, the bolts each having a concave, in particular partially cylindrical, bolt end at their radially outwardly directed bolt ends. Have recess, which is each formed in an opposing manner to a part of the respective groove facing the respective bolt end. Due to the at least partially circumferential groove, the material weakening of the respective temple end is distributed more evenly than a notch arranged on one side. The counter-shaped recess enables the bolt ends to encircle the sides and thus ultimately more deeply into the at least partially circumferential groove, so that an attempt to break open can be counteracted to a greater extent by forcibly pulling the bracket out of the two bracket receptacles.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Zylinderkern unmittelbar in einer in dem Schlosskörper ausgebildeten Zylinderkernaufnahme aufgenommen sein, und/oder Gehäusestifte und Stiftfedern können unmittelbar in Gehäusestiftbohrungen, die in dem Schlosskörper ausgebildet sind, aufgenommen sein. Auf ein separates Zylindergehäuse kann in diesem Fall dann verzichtet werden. Dadurch, dass die Funktionen eines Zylindergehäuses, nämlich den Zylinderkern drehbar zu lagern und die Gehäusestifte und Stiftfedern aufzunehmen, unmittelbar in dem Schlosskörper verwirklicht werden, kann das Vorhangschloss besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Zugeordnete Kernstifte sind auch in dem vorgenannten Fall in entsprechenden, in dem Zylinderkern ausgebildeten Kernstiftbohrungen aufgenommen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the cylinder core can be received directly in a cylinder core receptacle formed in the lock body, and / or housing pins and pin springs can be received directly in housing pin bores formed in the lock body. In this case, there is no need for a separate cylinder housing. Because the functions of a cylinder housing, namely to mount the cylinder core rotatably and to accommodate the housing pins and pin springs, are implemented directly in the lock body, the padlock can be manufactured particularly inexpensively. Associated core pins are also received in the aforementioned case in corresponding core pin bores formed in the cylinder core.

Auf den Schlosskörper kann von bügelseitig ein Kunststoffmantel aufgeschoben sein, auf den eine bügelgegenseitige bzw. bodenseitige Kunststoffkappe aufgeclipst ist, um ein äußeres Gehäuse für den Schlosskörper zu bilden. Hierdurch kann der Zugang zu dem Schlosskörper, insbesondere zu dem oder den Rückhaltestiften, gesichert werden.A plastic jacket can be pushed onto the lock body from the bracket side, onto which a plastic cap on the opposite side or on the bottom side is clipped in order to form an outer housing for the lock body. This allows access to the lock body, in particular to the retaining pin or pins, to be secured.

Sofern das Vorhangschloss als Bausatz angeboten und/oder verkauft wird, kann vorgesehen sein, dass sowohl ein starrer Bügel als auch ein flexibler Bügel vorgesehen sind, die wahlweise an den Schlosskörper montierbar sind, so dass der Anwender beim Zusammenbau selbst entscheiden kann, welcher Art, d.h. ob mit starrem Bügel oder mit flexiblem Bügel, das Vorhangschloss sein soll.If the padlock is offered and / or sold as a kit, it can be provided that both a rigid bracket and a flexible bracket are provided, which can be optionally mounted on the lock body, so that the user can decide for himself during assembly which type, ie whether with a rigid bracket or a flexible bracket, the padlock should be.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen, der Figurenbeschreibung und der Zeichnung beschrieben.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims, the description of the figures and the drawing.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Vorhangschloss 11 umfasst einen Schlosskörper 13 und einen starren bzw. festen, U-förmigen Bügel 15, insbesondere aus Stahl, beispielsweise Edelstahl, und/oder mit einem Kunststoffüberzug 77, oder aus Kunststoff, der in der dargestellten Geschlossenstellung mit seinem ersten Bügelende 17 und seinem zweiten Bügelende 19 in eine erste Bügelaufnahme 21 bzw. eine zweite Bügelaufnahme 23 des Schlosskörpers 13 eingreift. Das erste Bügelende 17 weist eine größere Länge als das zweite Bügelende 19 auf. Entsprechend weist die erste Bügelaufnahme 21 eine größere Tiefe auf als die zweite Bügelaufnahme 23. Der Schlosskörper 13 ist aus Aluminium gefertigt. Ferner ist ein dem Vorhangschloss 11 zugeordneter Schüssel 25 gezeigt, mit dem der starre Bügel 15 für ein Versetzen in die Offenstellung, in der er lediglich mit dem ersten Bügelende 17 in die erste Bügelaufnahme 21 eingreift, freigegeben werden kann.This in Fig. 1 The padlock 11 shown comprises a lock body 13 and a rigid or solid, U-shaped bracket 15, in particular made of steel, for example stainless steel, and / or with a plastic coating 77, or made of plastic, which in the illustrated closed position with its first bracket end 17 and its second bracket end 19 engages in a first bracket receptacle 21 or a second bracket receptacle 23 of the lock body 13. The first end of the temple 17 has a greater length than the second temple end 19. Accordingly, the first bracket receptacle 21 has a greater depth than the second bracket receptacle 23. The lock body 13 is made of aluminum. Furthermore, a key 25 assigned to the padlock 11 is shown, with which the rigid bracket 15 can be released for moving into the open position, in which it only engages with the first bracket end 17 in the first bracket receptacle 21.

Der Schlüssel 25 ist in einen Schlüsselkanal eines Zylinderkerns 27 eingesteckt. Der Zylinderkern 27 ist im Wesentlichen zylinderförmig zu einer Zylinderachse Z ausgebildet, ist unmittelbar in einer in dem Schlosskörper 13 ausgebildeten Zylinderkernaufnahme 49 aufgenommen und ist Teil einer Zylinderanordnung, die neben dem Zylinderkern 27 acht Zuhaltungen 33 umfasst. Die Zuhaltungen 33 umfassen jeweils einen Kernstift 41, einen Gehäusestift 43 sowie eine Stiftfeder 45. Jede Zuhaltung 33 ist in einer jeweiligen Zuhaltungsaufnahme aufgenommen, die durch zwei Bohrungen gebildet wird, deren eine unmittelbar in dem Schlosskörper 13 und deren andere in dem Zylinderkern 27 ausgebildet ist und die radial zur Zylinderachse Z ausgerichtet sind. Die Bohrungen in dem Schlosskörper 13 sind an ihren radial nach außen gerichteten Enden durch eine gemeinsame Zuhaltungsabdeckung 47 (vgl. Fig. 2A) verschlossen.The key 25 is inserted into a key channel of a cylinder core 27. The cylinder core 27 is essentially cylindrical in relation to a cylinder axis Z, is received directly in a cylinder core receptacle 49 formed in the lock body 13 and is part of a cylinder arrangement which, in addition to the cylinder core 27, includes eight tumblers 33. The tumblers 33 each include a core pin 41, a housing pin 43 and a pin spring 45. Each tumbler 33 is received in a respective tumbler receptacle, which is formed by two bores, one of which is formed directly in the lock body 13 and the other in the cylinder core 27 and which are aligned radially to the cylinder axis Z. The bores in the lock body 13 are at their radially outwardly directed ends by a common tumbler cover 47 (cf. Figure 2A ) locked.

Die Zylinderanordnung ist durch eine jeweilige Kombination von Kernstiften 41 unterschiedlicher Länge für einen bestimmten Schlüssel 25 kodiert. Wenn der in den Zylinderkern 27 eingeführte Schlüssel 25 eine geeignet kodierte Verzahnung aufweist, werden die Kern- und Gehäusestifte 41, 43 gegen die Vorspannung der Stiftfedern 45 so versetzt, dass für alle Zuhaltungen 33 die Grenzfläche zwischen dem Kernstift 41 und dem Gehäusestift 43 mit der Grenzfläche zwischen dem Zylinderkern 27 und der Zylinderkernaufnahme 49 zusammenfällt. Nur in diesem Zustand kann dann der Zylinderkern 27 gegenüber dem Schlosskörper 13 um seine Zylinderachse Z gedreht und so aus der gezeigten Verriegelungsstellung in die Entriegelungsstellung zur Freigabe des Bügels 15 versetzt werden.The cylinder arrangement is coded for a specific key 25 by a respective combination of core pins 41 of different lengths. If the key 25 inserted into the cylinder core 27 has a suitably coded toothing, the core and housing pins 41, 43 are offset against the bias of the pin springs 45 so that for all tumblers 33 the interface between the core pin 41 and the housing pin 43 with the The interface between the cylinder core 27 and the cylinder core receptacle 49 coincides. Only in this state can the cylinder core 27 be rotated about its cylinder axis Z relative to the lock body 13 and thus moved from the locking position shown into the unlocking position for releasing the bracket 15.

Parallel zu den Zuhaltungen 33 ist in dem Schlosskörper 13 ein Haltestift 35 aufgenommen, der radial nach innen in eine in der gewählten Ansicht nicht erkennbare Aussparung am Zylinderkern 27 eingreift. Diese Aussparung ist als eine Teilringnut ausgebildet, die sich über einen Winkelbereich von effektiv etwa 90° in Umfangsrichtung um die Zylinderachse Z entlang einer Mantelfläche 55 (vgl. Fig. 2A) des Zylinderkerns 27 erstreckt. Die Länge der Erstreckung schränkt dabei die Drehbeweglichkeit des Zylinderkerns 27 auf einen entsprechenden Winkelbereich ein. In bezüglich der Zylinderachse Z axialer Richtung wird durch den Eingriff des Haltestifts 35 außerdem ein axiales Versetzen des Zylinderkerns 27 relativ zu dem Schlosskörper 13 in Richtung aus der Zylinderkernaufnahme 49 heraus blockiert. Auf diese Weise wird der Zylinderkern 27 axial in der Zylinderkernaufnahme 49 des Schlosskörpers 13 gehalten.In parallel to the tumblers 33, a retaining pin 35 is received in the lock body 13, which engages radially inward into a recess on the cylinder core 27, which cannot be seen in the selected view. This recess is designed as a partial annular groove which extends over an angular range of effectively approximately 90 ° in the circumferential direction around the cylinder axis Z along a lateral surface 55 (cf. Figure 2A ) of the cylinder core 27 extends. The length of the extension restricts the rotational mobility of the cylinder core 27 to a corresponding angular range. In the axial direction with respect to the cylinder axis Z, the engagement of the retaining pin 35 also blocks an axial displacement of the cylinder core 27 relative to the lock body 13 in the direction out of the cylinder core receptacle 49. In this way, the cylinder core 27 is held axially in the cylinder core receptacle 49 of the lock body 13.

Der Zylinderkern 27 wirkt über eine stirnseitige Mitnehmereinrichtung 61 mit einem Riegelmechanismus 63 zusammen (vgl. hierzu auch die Fig. 2A und 2B), der zwei entgegengesetzt und radial nach außen vorgespannte Riegel 65 umfasst. Die Riegel 65 sind mittels zweier Druckfedern 75 in die dargestellte, der Verriegelungsstellung des Zylinderkerns 27 entsprechende Stellung vorgespannt, in der sie bei vollständig eingesetztem Bügel 15 in jeweilige ringförmige Sperrabschnitte 67 des Bügels 15 eingreifen. Dabei sind die Riegel 65 derart abgeschrägt ausgebildet (vgl. die Abschrägung 81), dass die Riegel 65 bei einem Einführen des Bügels 15 in den Schlosskörper 13 gegen ihre Vorspannung zurückgedrängt werden, bis sie schließlich wieder in die Sperrabschnitte 67 einrasten. Anschließend wird der Bügel 15 in entgegengesetzte Bewegungsrichtung durch die Riegel 65 formschlüssig gesperrt. Ein Freigeben des Bügels 15 kann dann nur dadurch erfolgen, dass der Zylinderkern 27 aus der dargestellten Verriegelungsstellung um die Zylinderachse Z in die Entriegelungsstellung gedreht wird, in der die Mitnehmereinrichtung 61 die Riegel 65 gegen ihre Vorspannung aus den Sperrabschnitten 67 heraus versetzt. Sobald der Bügel 15 freigeben ist, wird er durch eine nur in Fig. 2A gezeigte Druckfeder 69, die in die erste Bügelaufnahme 21 eingesetzt ist und das erste Bügelende 17 des Bügels 15 stirnseitig beaufschlagt, automatisch in seine Offenstellung versetzt.The cylinder core 27 interacts with a locking mechanism 63 via an end-side driver device 61 (see also FIG Figures 2A and 2B ), which comprises two oppositely and radially outwardly biased bolts 65. The latches 65 are preloaded by means of two compression springs 75 into the position shown corresponding to the locking position of the cylinder core 27, in which position they engage in respective annular locking sections 67 of the bracket 15 when the bracket 15 is fully inserted. The latches 65 are bevelled in such a way (cf. the bevel 81) that the latches 65 are pushed back against their bias when the bracket 15 is inserted into the lock body 13 until they finally snap into the locking sections 67 again. The bracket 15 is then positively locked in the opposite direction of movement by the bolt 65. The bracket 15 can then only be released by rotating the cylinder core 27 from the illustrated locking position about the cylinder axis Z into the unlocking position, in which the driver device 61 moves the bolt 65 out of the locking sections 67 against their bias. As soon as the bracket 15 is released, it is only in Figure 2A shown Compression spring 69, which is inserted into the first bracket receptacle 21 and acts on the first bracket end 17 of the bracket 15 on the front side, is automatically moved into its open position.

Die Sperrabschnitte 67 sind jeweils als vollständig umlaufende Ringnut ausgebildet, die sich jeweils um die Längsachse des jeweiligen Bügelendes 17, 19 erstreckt. Passend hierzu weisen die Riegel 65 an ihren radial nach außen gerichteten Riegelenden jeweils eine konkave, teilzylindrisch geformte Aussparung 79 auf, die gegenförmig zu dem dem jeweiligen Riegelende zugewandten Teil der jeweiligen Nut 67 ausgebildet ist (vgl. Fig. 3).The locking sections 67 are each designed as a completely encircling annular groove which each extends around the longitudinal axis of the respective bracket end 17, 19. In keeping with this, the bolts 65 each have a concave, partially cylindrical recess 79 at their radially outwardly directed bolt ends, which is designed in an opposite manner to the part of the respective groove 67 facing the respective bolt end (cf. Fig. 3 ).

Um zu verhindern, dass sich der starre Bügel 15 in der Offenstellung von dem Schlosskörper 13 löst, ist in dem ersten Bügelende 17 eine Längsnut 29 ausgebildet, in die ein Rückhaltestift 31 eingreift. Die Längsnut 29 wird durch einen Blockiervorsprung 37 des ersten Bügelendes 17 begrenzt, der in der Offenstellung an dem Rückhaltestift 31 ansteht. Der starre Bügel 15, insbesondere das erste Bügelende 17, ist damit einerseits versetzbar in dem Schlosskörper 13 gelagert und andererseits gegen eine Entnahme aus dem Schlosskörper 13 gesichert. Der Rückhaltestift 31 ist in einen Rückhaltestiftkanal 39 eingesetzt, der den Schlosskörper 13 vollständig durchsetzt und dabei die erste Bügelaufnahme 21 senkrecht kreuzt, d.h. der Rückhaltestiftkanal 39 mündet in die erste Bügelaufnahme 21, so dass das vorgenannte Eingreifen des Rückhaltestifts 31 in die Längsnut 29 des ersten Bügelendes 17 möglich ist. Das zweite Bügelende 19 hingegen fährt in der Offenstellung des starren Bügels 15 aus dem Schlosskörper 13 aus.In order to prevent the rigid bracket 15 from becoming detached from the lock body 13 in the open position, a longitudinal groove 29 is formed in the first bracket end 17, into which a retaining pin 31 engages. The longitudinal groove 29 is delimited by a blocking projection 37 of the first bracket end 17, which protrudes against the retaining pin 31 in the open position. The rigid bracket 15, in particular the first bracket end 17, is thus on the one hand mounted displaceably in the lock body 13 and on the other hand is secured against being removed from the lock body 13. The retaining pin 31 is inserted into a retaining pin channel 39 which completely penetrates the lock body 13 and thereby perpendicularly crosses the first bracket receptacle 21, i. E. the retaining pin channel 39 opens into the first bracket receptacle 21, so that the aforementioned engagement of the retaining pin 31 in the longitudinal groove 29 of the first bracket end 17 is possible. In contrast, the second bracket end 19 extends out of the lock body 13 in the open position of the rigid bracket 15.

Darüber hinaus ist in dem Schlosskörper 13 ein zweiter Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 ausgebildet, der denselben Querschnitt wie der erste Rückhaltestiftkanal 39 aufweist, der ebenfalls den Schlosskörper 13 vollständig durchsetzt und der nicht die erste Bügelaufnahme 21, sondern die zweite Bügelaufnahme 23 kreuzt bzw. in diese mündet. Der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 ist zwischen den Zuhaltungen 33 einerseits und dem Riegelmechanismus 63 andererseits angeordnet. Der erste Rückhaltestiftkanal 39 hingegen ist neben den Zuhaltungen 33 und damit unterhalb des zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanals 51 angeordnet. Bei Verwendung eines starren Bügels, wie es in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist, ist der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 nicht besetzt, d.h. in den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 ist kein Rückhaltestift eingesetzt.In addition, a second retaining pin channel 51 is formed in the lock body 13, which has the same cross section as the first retaining pin channel 39, which also completely penetrates the lock body 13 and which does not cross or open into the first bracket receptacle 21 but the second bracket receptacle 23. The second retaining pin channel 51 is between the tumblers 33 on the one hand and the locking mechanism 63 on the other hand. The first retaining pin channel 39, however, is arranged next to the tumblers 33 and thus below the second retaining pin channel 51. When using a rigid bracket as shown in Fig. 1 is shown, the second retaining pin channel 51 is not occupied, that is, no retaining pin is inserted into the second retaining pin channel 51.

Der zweite Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 kommt hingegen zum Einsatz, wenn das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Vorhangschloss 11 nicht mit einem starren Bügel 15 verwendet wird, sondern als Vorhangschloss 11' mit einem flexiblen Bügel 15', wie er in den Fig. 2A und 2B gezeigt ist, insbesondere einem Kabel- oder Seilbügel, dessen beiden Bügelenden 17', 19' starr ausgebildete Hülsen aufweisen und zumindest in etwa gleich weit in den Schlosskörper 13 eintauchen. In diesem Fall ist der Rückhaltestift 31 in den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 eingesetzt. Entsprechend ist an dem zweiten Bügelende 19 des flexiblen Bügels 15' eine ringförmige Ausnehmung 53 ausgebildet, in die der Rückhaltestift 31 eingreift. Damit ist das zweite Bügelende 19 des flexiblen Bügels 15' fest in der zweiten Bügelaufnahme 23 gesichert, d.h. es kann auch in der Offenstellung des flexiblen Bügels 15' nicht aus dem Schlosskörper 13 entnommen werden. Allerdings ist jetzt das erste Bügelende 17 in der Offenstellung des flexiblen Bügels 15' aus dem Schlosskörper 13 entnehmbar.The second retaining pin channel 51, however, is used when the in Fig. 1 The padlock 11 shown is not used with a rigid bracket 15, but as a padlock 11 'with a flexible bracket 15', as shown in FIG Figures 2A and 2B is shown, in particular a cable or rope bracket, the two bracket ends 17 ', 19' of which have rigid sleeves and extend into the lock body 13 at least approximately the same distance. In this case, the retaining pin 31 is inserted into the second retaining pin channel 51. Correspondingly, an annular recess 53 is formed on the second bracket end 19 of the flexible bracket 15 ', in which the retaining pin 31 engages. The second bracket end 19 of the flexible bracket 15 'is thus firmly secured in the second bracket receptacle 23, ie it cannot be removed from the lock body 13 even when the flexible bracket 15' is in the open position. However, the first bracket end 17 can now be removed from the lock body 13 in the open position of the flexible bracket 15 ′.

Abhängig davon, ob das Vorhangschloss 11 mit einem starren Bügel 15 (Fig. 1) oder einem flexiblen Bügel 15' (Fig. 2A und 2B) hergestellt wird, wird der Rückhaltestift 31 zum Zurückhalten des (jeweiligen) Bügels 15, 15' entweder in den ersten Rückhaltestiftkanal 39 oder den zweiten Rückhaltestiftkanal 51 eingesetzt. Es kann also lediglich durch das Vorsehen von zwei Rückhaltestiftkanälen 39, 51 bei ansonsten gleichen Bauteilen - mit Ausnahme des Bügels - entweder ein Hangschloss mit starrem Bügel 15 oder mit flexiblem Bügel 15' hergestellt werden.Depending on whether the padlock 11 has a rigid bracket 15 ( Fig. 1 ) or a flexible bracket 15 '( Figures 2A and 2B ) is produced, the retaining pin 31 for retaining the (respective) bracket 15, 15 'is inserted either into the first retaining pin channel 39 or the second retaining pin channel 51. With the exception of the bracket, a padlock with a rigid bracket 15 or with a flexible bracket 15 'can be produced simply by providing two retaining pin channels 39, 51 with otherwise identical components.

Um auch bei dem Hangschloss mit flexiblem Bügel 15' das vorstehend erläuterte automatische Auswerfen des Bügels 15' bzw. des ersten Bügelendes 17 des Bügels 15' aus dem Schlossgehäuse 13 bei Verstellen des Riegelmechanismus 63 in die Freigabestellung zu ermöglichen, ist in der ersten Bügelaufnahme 21 ein Verlängerungs- bzw. Adapterstück 71 aufgenommen, das die durch die Druckfeder 69 ausgeübte Kraft an das erste Bügelende 17 des flexiblen Bügels 15' vermittelt. Um ein Verlieren des Verlängerungsstücks 71 zu verhindern, weist das Verlängerungsstück 71 - wie das erste Bügelende 17 des starren Bügels 15 - eine Längsnut 29' auf, in die ein weiterer Rückhaltestift 73 eingesetzt ist, der in die Längsnut 29' des Verlängerungsstücks 71 eingreift, um das Verlängerungsstück 71 versetzbar und gleichzeitig gesichert in der ersten Bügelaufnahme 21 zu halten.In order to enable the above-explained automatic ejection of the bracket 15 'or the first bracket end 17 of the bracket 15' from the lock housing 13 when the locking mechanism 63 is moved into the release position, the first bracket receptacle 21 an extension or adapter piece 71 received, which transmits the force exerted by the compression spring 69 to the first bracket end 17 of the flexible bracket 15 '. In order to prevent the extension piece 71 from being lost, the extension piece 71 - like the first bracket end 17 of the rigid bracket 15 - has a longitudinal groove 29 'into which a further retaining pin 73 is inserted which engages in the longitudinal groove 29' of the extension piece 71, in order to hold the extension piece 71 displaceably and at the same time secured in the first bracket receptacle 21.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, ist auf den Schlosskörper 13 aus Richtung des Bügels 15 ein Kunststoffmantel 57 aufgeschoben, auf den eine bügelgegenseitige Kunststoffkappe 59 aufgeclipst ist. Damit wird ein äußeres Gehäuse für den Schlosskörper 13 gebildet, so dass ein Zugriff auf den oder die Rückhaltestifte 31, 73 zur Manipulation des Vorhangschlosses 11 verhindert werden kann.How out Fig. 1 As can be seen, a plastic jacket 57 is pushed onto the lock body 13 from the direction of the bracket 15, onto which a plastic cap 59 on the opposite side of the bracket is clipped. This forms an outer housing for the lock body 13, so that access to the retaining pin (s) 31, 73 for manipulating the padlock 11 can be prevented.
