Description

発明の詳細な説明Detailed Description of the Invention

本発明は、特に自動車用の安全ベルトバックルであって、バックルケース、及びバックルケースへ差込み可能なバックル舌片のためバックルケース内に設けられる掛け金機構操作用キーを持ち、キーの照明装置が設けられるものに関する。  The present invention particularly relates to a safety belt buckle for an automobile, which has a buckle case and a key for operating a latch mechanism provided in the buckle case for a buckle tongue that can be inserted into the buckle case, and a key illumination device is provided. About what

前記の特徴を持つ安全ベルトバックルはドイツ連邦共和国特許出願公開第３９０４１２５号明細書に記載されている。ここでは光源は、例えば発光ダイオードの形で、操作キーから離れた所にあるバックルの範囲に設けられ、光を導く材料から成る導光路を介してキーに結合され、導光路は、なるべく前もって製造されてバックルケースへ差込まれるガラスのように透明な材料から成る材料部分から成っている。キーの公知の照明では、バックルケースからキーへの光の無接触伝送が行われている。  A safety belt buckle having the above characteristics is described in German Offenlegungsschrift 3904125. Here, the light source is provided in the range of a buckle, for example in the form of a light-emitting diode, away from the operation key, and is coupled to the key via a light guide made of a material that guides the light. It consists of a material part made of a transparent material like glass that is inserted into the buckle case. In the known illumination of the key, contactless transmission of light from the buckle case to the key is performed.

しかし公知の安全ベルトバックルには、特にバックルのキーまで充分な光を導くため、光源及び導光路の配置がそれに応じて多くの空間を必要とする、という欠点が伴っている。別の欠点として、公知の安全ベルトバックルが汚れ易いことがあげられる。なぜならば、導光路に、バックル蓋内にあって清掃できない全部で４つの光出口面又は光入口面が設けられているからである。  However, the known safety belt buckles have the disadvantage that the arrangement of the light source and the light guide requires a lot of space accordingly, in order to guide sufficient light, in particular to the key of the buckle. Another disadvantage is that known safety belt buckles are easily soiled. This is because the light guide path is provided with a total of four light exit surfaces or light entrance surfaces that are in the buckle lid and cannot be cleaned.

従って本発明の基礎になっている課題は、最初にあげた特徴を持つ安全ベルトバックルにおいて、照明なしの安全ベルトバックルに対して全体寸法を大きくすることなく実現可能なキーの照明を実現することである。  Therefore, the problem underlying the present invention is to realize a key illumination that is feasible without increasing the overall dimensions of the safety belt buckle with the features described above, compared to the safety belt buckle without illumination. It is.

この課題の解決策は、発明の有利な構成及び展開を含めて、この説明の前にある特許請求の範囲の内容から明らかになる。  Solutions to this problem will become apparent from the claims which follow this description, including advantageous configurations and developments of the invention.

本発明は、その基本思想において、キーが、その見える正面に、電気的に始動可能な発光膜を持ち、発光膜への給電に必要な電気エネルギが、バックルの定置部分に設けられるエネルギ源から、空隙を橋渡しして無接触で発光膜へ伝達可能であるようにすることを、意図している。本発明に伴う利点は、発光膜が光源として実際上付加的な所要場所を必要としないことである。本発明の実施例によれば、受信電子装置を含む発光膜が、キーに注型されてこれで被覆されるか又は別個の部材としてキーにクリップ留めされている。適当な電気始動部を持つ発光膜は、他の使用領域のためのものとして、全く公知である。発光膜への電気エネルギの供給も付加的な構造空間を必要としない。なぜならば、エネルギ源はバックル外に設けることができるからである。電気エネルギはバックルケースの定置部分から可動キーへ無接触で伝達されるので、バックルの充分な耐塵埃性及び耐液性のようなバックルの良好な永続動作特性が与えられるので、従来技術による安全ベルトバックルとは異なり、本発明による安全ベルトバックルは汚れの影響を受けない。  In the basic idea of the present invention, the key has a light-emitting film that can be electrically started in front of the key, and the electric energy necessary for power supply to the light-emitting film is obtained from an energy source provided in a stationary part of the buckle. It is intended to bridge the gap so that it can be transmitted to the light emitting film without contact. An advantage with the present invention is that the light-emitting film does not actually require an additional required location as a light source. According to an embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting film containing the receiving electronic device is cast on the key and covered with it or clipped to the key as a separate member. Luminescent films with suitable electrical starters are quite known for other areas of use. The supply of electrical energy to the light emitting film also requires no additional structural space. This is because the energy source can be provided outside the buckle. Electrical energy is transferred from the stationary part of the buckle case to the movable key in a contactless manner, giving the buckle good permanent operating characteristics such as sufficient dust resistance and liquid resistance. Unlike the belt buckle, the safety belt buckle according to the present invention is not affected by dirt.

本発明の実施例によれば、バックルの定置部分に、エネルギ源に接続される送信機が設けられ、キーに取付けられて発光膜に電気接続される受信機が送信機に付属しており、送信機及び受信機が、場合によってはパッチアンテナとしても構成されるアンテナを持っている。その代わりに、ダイポールアンテナ、コイルアンテナ、棒アンテナ又はホルンアンテナのような別のアンテナ形式を使用することもできる。  According to an embodiment of the present invention, a transmitter connected to the energy source is provided in the stationary part of the buckle, and a receiver attached to the key and electrically connected to the light emitting film is attached to the transmitter. The transmitter and receiver have antennas that are sometimes configured as patch antennas. Alternatively, other antenna types such as dipole antennas, coil antennas, bar antennas or horn antennas can be used.

別の実施形態では、バックルの定置部分及びキーにおける無接触伝達のため、それぞれ１つのコイルが設けられている。この場合エネルギ源とバックルの定置部分に設けられるコイルとの間に、ドライバが設けられ、ドライバの後に増幅器が設けられているようにすることができる。  In another embodiment, one coil each is provided for contactless transmission in the stationary part of the buckle and the key. In this case, a driver may be provided between the energy source and the coil provided in the stationary part of the buckle, and an amplifier may be provided after the driver.

本発明の実施例によれば、バックルの定置部分が、バックル舌片を受入れるバックルケースであるか、又は一緒にバックルケースを形成する上部バックル蓋又は下部バックル蓋としての形で、バックルケースを包囲するバックル蓋である。  According to an embodiment of the invention, the stationary part of the buckle is a buckle case that receives the buckle tongue or encloses the buckle case in the form of an upper buckle lid or a lower buckle lid that together form the buckle case It is a buckle lid.

図面には本発明の実施例が示されており、以下に説明される。  The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and are described below.

図１に示す安全ベルトバックル１０は、上部バックル蓋１１及び図示しない上部バックル蓋により覆われているバックルケース１６から成っている。安全ベルトバックルの後端にはコネクタ１２が設けられ、このコネクタを介して電源又は制御装置への電気接続が行われる。  A safety belt buckle 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes an upper buckle lid 11 and a buckle case 16 covered with an upper buckle lid (not shown). A connector 12 is provided at the rear end of the safety belt buckle, and electrical connection to a power source or a control device is performed via this connector.

図２から詳細にわかるように、安全ベルトバックル１０は、バックルケース１６へ押込み可能なキー１３を持ち、バックルケース１６とこれを包囲するケース蓋１１との間に、キー１３のための押込み路１４が切欠かれている。キー１３の反対側で、バックルケース１６に保持部分１５が取付けられ、この保持部分１５によりバックル１０が自動車の部分に取付けられている。保持部分の代わりに、剛性バックル保持体を設けることもできる。更にバックルケース１６内で掛け金機構が１７で示され、公知のように安全ベルトバックル１０へ差込み可能な図示しないバックル舌片と共同作用して、これを鎖錠する。バックル１０への差込みの際、キー１３も同様に掛け金機構１７と公知のように共同作用するので、キー１３の押込みによりバックル舌片が再び釈放される。  As can be seen in detail in FIG. 2, the safety belt buckle 10 has a key 13 that can be pushed into the buckle case 16, and a pushing path for the key 13 between the buckle case 16 and the case lid 11 surrounding the buckle case 16. 14 is notched. On the opposite side of the key 13, a holding portion 15 is attached to the buckle case 16, and the holding portion 15 attaches the buckle 10 to a portion of the automobile. Instead of the holding part, a rigid buckle holding body may be provided. Further, a latching mechanism is indicated by 17 in the buckle case 16 and cooperates with a buckle tongue (not shown) that can be inserted into the safety belt buckle 10 as is known, and locks it. When the key 13 is inserted into the buckle 10, the key 13 also cooperates with the latch mechanism 17 in a known manner, so that the buckle tongue piece is released again by pressing the key 13.

キー１３の照明のため、キー１３に、電気的に始動可能な発光膜２２が取付けられ、しかも例えばキー１３に注型され、これで周りを被覆成形されるか、別個の部材としてこれにクリップ留めされている。発光膜２２から電気接続片２１が、ケース蓋１１の外縁に対して平行に側方に設けられる受信機２０へ通じている。  For the illumination of the key 13, an electrically startable light-emitting film 22 is attached to the key 13, and it is cast, for example, on the key 13 and coated around it or clipped to it as a separate member. It is fastened. The electrical connection piece 21 communicates from the light emitting film 22 to the receiver 20 provided on the side parallel to the outer edge of the case lid 11.

受信機２０に対向して、ケース蓋１１の内側に送信機１８が取付けられ、接続ケーブル１９を介してコネクタ１２に接続されているので、コネクタ１２を介して適当なエネルギ供給を行うことができる。コネクタ１２及び接続ケーブル１９を介して供給される電気エネルギは、送信機１８から無接触で受信機２０へ伝達されるので、発光膜２２が始動される。  Since the transmitter 18 is attached to the inside of the case lid 11 so as to face the receiver 20 and is connected to the connector 12 via the connection cable 19, an appropriate energy supply can be performed via the connector 12. . Since the electrical energy supplied through the connector 12 and the connection cable 19 is transmitted from the transmitter 18 to the receiver 20 without contact, the light emitting film 22 is started.

図２に示される実施例に従って、図３はエネルギ源２５及びケース蓋に取付けられる送信機１８を持つ回路を示し、送信機１８にはアンテナ２６が付属している。キー側には別のアンテナ２７が設けられて、受信機２０に接続され、この受信機２０は接続ケーブル２１を介して発光膜２２に接続されている。  In accordance with the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 shows a circuit having an energy source 25 and a transmitter 18 attached to the case lid, with an antenna 26 attached to the transmitter 18. Another antenna 27 is provided on the key side and is connected to the receiver 20, and the receiver 20 is connected to the light emitting film 22 via the connection cable 21.

別の回路では、ケース側に構成されるエネルギ供給装置が、ドライバ２８を後に接続されるエネルギ源２５を持ち、このドライバ２８にケース側コイル２９が接続されている。コイル２９には、キー１３にあるコイル３０が付属し、接続ケーブルを介して発光膜２２に接続されている。  In another circuit, an energy supply device configured on the case side has an energy source 25 to which a driver 28 is connected later, and a case side coil 29 is connected to the driver 28. A coil 30 on the key 13 is attached to the coil 29 and is connected to the light emitting film 22 through a connection cable.

上述の説明、特許請求の範囲、要約及び図面に開示されたこの書類の対象の特徴は、個々でも任意の相互組合わせでも、種々の実施形態で本発明の実現にとって重要である。  The features of the subject matter of this document disclosed in the above description, the claims, the abstract and the drawings, both individually and in any combination, are important for the realization of the present invention in various embodiments.
