Abstract

The centre console comprises two parts (2, 3) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle so that one of the parts engages with sliding seat over the other to avoid a visible join. At least one part has an inclined or rounded exposed edge.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mittelkonsole gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a center console according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Derartige zusammengesetzte Mittelkonsolen, wie sie beispielsweise aus der US-PS 4,691,960 bekannt sind, bieten gegenüber einteiligen Mittelkonsolen (worunter stets die Anzahl der in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung aufeinanderfolgenden Teile verstanden ist) Vorteile hinsichtlich der Montagefreundlichkeit. Bei der Montage ist zu berücksichtigen, daß üblicherweise Handhaben, wie ein Handbremshebel und/oder ein Gangwahlhebel, durch Ausnehmungen in der Mittelkonsole hindurchgeführt werden müssen.Such composite center consoles, such as those from the US-PS 4,691,960 are known to offer one-piece center consoles (including the number of successive parts in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is always understood) Advantages in terms of ease of installation. When assembling, take into account that usually handle such as a hand brake lever and / or a gear selector lever, have to be passed through recesses in the center console.

Läßt man die beiden aufeinanderfolgenden Teile der Mittelkonsole mit ihren einander zugekehrten Stirnkanten aneinanderstoßen, so ist schon aus Toleranzgründen die Bildung eines Spalts zwischen beiden nicht zu vermeiden, der nicht nur aus technischen Gründen (Eindringen von Staubpartikeln) unerwünscht ist, sondern der auch den optischen Eindruck der Mittelkonsole nachteilig beeinflußt.Let the two consecutive parts of the center console with each other butting the facing end edges is already for tolerance reasons Unavoidable formation of a gap between the two, not only from technical Reasons (penetration of dust particles) is undesirable, but also that the optical impression of the center console adversely affected.

Verständlicherweise könnte man daran denken, hier zusätzliche Abdeckungen vorzusehen, jedoch bedeutete dies einen zusätzlichen Aufwand hinsichtlich Teilezahl und Montage.Understandably, you could think of additional covers here to provide, but this meant an additional effort in terms of number of parts and Assembly.

Der Erfindung liegt mithin die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Mittelkonsole zu schaffen, bei der eine störende Spaltbildung zwischen den in Längsrichtung aufeinanderfolgenden Teilen ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand verhindert ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of a generic center console create an annoying gap between the lengthways successive parts is prevented without additional effort.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht in den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs, eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung der Erfindung beschreibt der Unteranspruch. The inventive solution to this problem consists in the characterizing Features of the main claim, an expedient embodiment of the invention describes the subclaim.  

Die Erfindung löst die definierte Aufgabe also in bestechend einfacher Weise dadurch, daß sie ein stumpfes Aneinanderstoßen der einander zugekehrten Kanten der aufeinanderfolgenden Teile der Mittelkonsole vorsieht, vielmehr bewußt ein gegenseitiges Übergreifen der einander zugekehrten Kanten der Teile der Mittelkonsole vermeidet. Bei toleranzbedingten Längenänderungen zumindest eines der Teile der Mittelkonsole, beispielsweise infolge starker Temperaturunterschiede, können die beiden Teile im Bereich ihrer benachbarten Enden infolge des bewußt vorgesehenen Schiebesitzes (Fehlen von in Längsrichtung wirksamen Befestigungen) aufeinander gleiten, was aber optisch in keiner Weise in Erscheinung tritt. Dies gestattet auch das Vorsehen relativ großer Fertigungstoleranzen, und zwar sowohl für die Abmessungen der Teile der Mittelkonsole selbst als auch für ihre Befestigungsanordnungen beispielsweise an einem Bodentunnel des betreffenden Fahrzeugs.The invention therefore achieves the defined object in an impressively simple manner by that they are butted against each other by the facing edges of the successive parts of the center console provides, rather consciously mutual overlap of the mutually facing edges of the parts of the center console avoids. In the case of tolerance-related changes in length, at least one of the parts of the Center console, for example due to large temperature differences, the two Parts in the area of their adjacent ends as a result of the deliberately intended Sliding seat (lack of fastenings effective in the longitudinal direction) on each other glide, but this does not appear in any way. This also allows that Provide relatively large manufacturing tolerances, both for the dimensions the parts of the center console itself as well as for their mounting arrangements for example on a floor tunnel of the vehicle in question.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert, deren Fig. 1 perspektivisch schräg von vorn links den Rohbau einer Mittelkonsole wiedergibt, während Fig. 2 einen senkrechten und Fig. 3 einen horizontalen Schnitt zeigt.An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, FIG. 1 showing the shell of a center console obliquely from the left front, while FIG. 2 shows a vertical section and FIG. 3 shows a horizontal section.

Betrachtet man zunächst Fig. 1, so ist bei 1 ein Basisteil der Mittelkonsole angedeutet, das einen nicht dargestellten Tunnel überdeckt und an das sich in Richtung nach links ein Armaturenbrett anschließt. Dieses Basisteil 1 trägt die beiden in Längsrichtung des Fahrzeugs aufeinanderfolgenden Teile 2 und 3 der Mittelkonsole, von denen das vordere Teil eine Ausnehmung zum Aufnehmen eines Einsatzes aufweist, während das hintere Teil 3 mehrere Ausnehmungen aufweist, die teils zum Durchtritt eines Handbremshebels, teils zur Aufnahme von Getränkebechem dienen können.Referring first to Fig. 1, so at 1 is a base portion of the center console is indicated, which covers a tunnel, not shown, and a dash panel connects to the in direction to the left. This base part 1 carries the two consecutive parts 2 and 3 of the center console in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, of which the front part has a recess for receiving an insert, while the rear part 3 has several recesses, partly for the passage of a hand brake lever, partly for receiving can serve from beverage cups.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung interessiert nun die konstruktive Gestaltung des Übergangs zwischen den beiden Teilen 2 und 3. Wie Fig. 1 erkennen läßt, würde ein Spalt zwischen den einander gegenüberstehenden Kanten dieser beiden Teile den optischen Eindruck stark beeinträchtigen, da der Spalt gut sichtbar liegt; man müßte, sofern nicht die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen getroffen sind, eine zusätzliche Abdeckung vorsehen und befestigen. Within the scope of the invention, the constructive design of the transition between the two parts 2 and 3 is of interest. As can be seen in FIG. 1, a gap between the opposing edges of these two parts would severely impair the visual impression, since the gap is clearly visible; if the measures according to the invention were not taken, an additional cover would have to be provided and fastened.

Wie die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen, vermeidet die Erfindung eine derartige sichtbare Spaltbildung dadurch, daß das eine Teil 3 auf der Sichtseite das andere Teil 2 mit Schiebesitz übergreift. Dadurch können die Teile an dieser Übergangsstelle im Sinne der Pfeile in Fig. 2 relativ zueinander in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung Bewegungen ausführen, deren Existenz und Größe von Fertigungstoleranzen sowie von Veränderungen von Umweltgrößen, wie Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit, abhängt, die Einfluß auf die Länge bzw. die relative Lage der beiden Teile 2 und 3 zu nehmen vermögen.As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 show, the invention avoids such a visible gap formation characterized in that the overlaps a part 3 on the visible side of the other part 2 with a sliding fit. As a result, the parts at this transition point in the sense of the arrows in FIG. 2 can perform movements relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the existence and size of which depends on manufacturing tolerances and on changes in environmental variables, such as temperature and humidity, which influence the length or the relative Location of the two parts 2 and 3 are able to take.

Übrigens ist in Fig. 2 bei 4 ein Handbremshebel angedeutet, der die Ausnehmung 5 in dem Teil 3 der Mittelkonsole durchsetzt. Zur Montage des Teils 3 ist es also erforderlich, zunächst Teil 2 zu montieren, darauf Teil 3 so zu schwenken und zu bewegen, daß die Ausnehmung 5 gleichsam über den Handbremshebel 4 geschoben wird, und dann Teil 3 an dem Mitteltunnel des Fahrzeugs in an sich bekannter und daher nicht dargestellter Weise zu befestigen. Dabei entsteht automatisch der Übergriff des Teils 3 über den ihm zugekehrten Endbereich des Teils 2.Incidentally, a hand brake lever is indicated at 4 in FIG. 2, which passes through the recess 5 in part 3 of the center console. To assemble part 3 , it is therefore necessary to first assemble part 2 , then pivot and move part 3 so that the recess 5 is, as it were, pushed over the hand brake lever 4 , and then part 3 on the center tunnel of the vehicle in itself known and therefore not shown to attach. The overlap of part 3 automatically occurs over the end region of part 2 facing it.

Während in Fig. 2 die freie Kante des einen Teils 3 gleichsam flach auf dem anderen Teil 2 aufliegt, sind die entsprechenden Kanten 6 in Fig. 3 abgerundet, so daß scharte Kanten auch hier vermieden sind.While in FIG. 2 the free edge of one part 3 rests flat on the other part 2 , the corresponding edges 6 in FIG. 3 are rounded off, so that sharp edges are also avoided here.

Verständlicherweise läßt sich die Erfindung auch dann mit Vorteil einsetzen, wenn die Mittelkonsole aus mehr als zwei in Längsrichtung aufeinanderfolgenden Teilen zusammengesetzt ist.Understandably, the invention can also be used to advantage if the Center console made up of more than two longitudinally consecutive parts is composed.
