• - wenigsten eine Rastverbindung, die zumindest in der Schließstellung verrastbar ist und den Klappdeckel n der Schließstellung in dem Einsatzteil klemmend fixiert, wobei diese Rastverbindung ein Federelement umfasst,

wobei der Bügel an dem Klappdeckel angeformt ist und U-förmig oder V-förmig ausgebildet und der derart bemessen ist, dass der Rand der Montageaussparung der Abdeckleiste in der Offenstellung des Klappdeckels in den Freiraum des U-förmigen oder V-förmigen Bügels hineinragt.The present invention relates to a cover device for a mounting recess in a cover strip of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• an insert part that can be positioned inside or below the cover strip in the area of the mounting recess, and
• - A hinged lid pivotally mounted about an axis in the longitudinal direction of the ledge and filling the assembly recess in a closed position, the hinged lid being pivotably mounted in the insert part via at least one bracket and by means of at least one pivot bearing connection between an open position and the closed position, this pivot bearing connection being connected by at least one bearing pin and at least one bearing shell corresponding to the bearing journal is formed, and
• at least one latching connection, which can be latched at least in the closed position and fixes the hinged lid in the closed position in the insert part, this latching connection comprising a spring element,

wherein the bracket is integrally formed on the hinged lid and U-shaped or V-shaped and is dimensioned such that the edge of the mounting recess of the cover strip in the open position of the hinged lid protrudes into the free space of the U-shaped or V-shaped bracket.

A generic covering device is the patent DE 102 56 052 B4 refer to.

A disadvantage of a covering device of the prior art is that the arrangement of the hinged cover and insert part described there has a large construction height and the spring element designed as an arcuate spring bar can be damaged relatively easily by incorrect operation.

The object of the present invention is therefore to further improve a covering device of the prior art in such a way that it has a lower overall height and a more robust design.

• - einen um eine Achse in Leistenlängsrichtung schwenkbar gelagerten, die Montageaussparung in einer Schließstellung ausfüllenden Klappdeckel, wobei der Klappdeckel über wenigstens einen Bügel und mittels wenigstens einer Drehlagerverbindung zwischen einer Offenstellung und der Schließstellung in dem Einsatzteil schwenkbar gelagert ist, wobei diese Drehlagerverbindung durch wenigstens einen Lagerzapfen und wenigstens eine zu dem Lagerzapfen korrespondierende Lagerschale gebildete ist und,

wobei der Bügel an dem Klappdeckel angeformt ist und U-förmig oder V-förmig ausgebildet und der derart bemessen ist, dass der Rand der Montageaussparung der Abdeckleiste in der Offenstellung des Klappdeckels in den Freiraum des U-förmigen oder V-förmigen Bügels hineinragt, wobei das Federelement der Rastverbindung durch eine Aussparung innerhalb des Bügels gebildete ist, die eine elastisch nachgiebige Federtasche innerhalb des Bügels bildet. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Federelements der Rastverbindung durch eine Aussparung innerhalb des Bügels, die eine elastisch nachgiebige Federtasche innerhalb des Bügels bildet, kann vorteilhaft auf einen zusätzlichen Federsteg als Federelement verzichtet werden, der zum einen anfällig für eine Beschädigung wäre und zum anderen aufgrund seiner (zur ausreichenden Auslenkung erforderlichen) Länge die Aufbauhöhe vergrößert. Die Integration des Federelements in den Bügel ermöglicht es die Aufbauhöhe zu reduzieren und stellt gleichzeitig ein robust ausgebildetes Federelement bereit, welches sich zudem durch eine Vergrößerung oder Verkleinerung der Aussparung innerhalb des Bügels in seiner Federkraft relativ einfach konstruktiv abstimmen lässt.This object is achieved in the present case by a cover device for a mounting recess in a cover strip of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• an insert part that can be positioned inside or below the cover strip in the area of the mounting recess, and
• - A hinged lid pivotally mounted about an axis in the longitudinal direction of the ledge and filling the assembly recess in a closed position, the hinged lid being pivotably mounted in the insert part via at least one bracket and by means of at least one pivot bearing connection between an open position and the closed position, this pivot bearing connection being connected by at least one bearing pin and at least one bearing shell corresponding to the bearing journal is formed, and
• at least one latching connection, which can be latched at least in the closed position and fixes the hinged lid in the insert in the closed position, this latching connection comprising a spring element,

wherein the bracket is integrally formed on the hinged lid and U-shaped or V-shaped and which is dimensioned such that the edge of the mounting recess of the cover strip in the open position of the hinged lid protrudes into the free space of the U-shaped or V-shaped bracket, wherein the spring element of the latching connection is formed by a recess within the bracket, which forms an elastically resilient spring pocket within the bracket. The inventive design of the spring element of the latching connection by a recess within the bracket, which forms an elastically flexible spring pocket within the bracket, can advantageously be dispensed with an additional spring bar as a spring element, which would be susceptible to damage on the one hand and on the other hand due to its (to sufficient deflection) length increases the construction height. The integration of the spring element in the bracket makes it possible to reduce the structural height and at the same time provides a robust spring element which can also be structurally adjusted in a relatively simple manner by enlarging or reducing the recess within the bracket.

A further latching connection is advantageously provided, which can be latched at least in the open position and clamps the hinged lid in the open position in the insert part, this further latching connection likewise comprising a spring element and, the further spring element being formed by a further recess within the bracket, which forms another resilient spring pocket inside the bracket. In addition to the oppressive fixation in the closed position, a latching connection can advantageously also be provided in a corresponding manner by a further spring element through a further recess within the bracket for the open position. The corresponding advantages are similar. The spring element and the further spring element are preferably arranged at a distance from one another along the bracket.

On the side of the bracket facing the insert part, at least one catch element receptacle for a catch element molded onto the insert part or at least one catch element for a catch element receptacle formed on the insert part can be provided in the area of the spring pocket, catch element and catch element holder forming the catch connection. Alternatively or in combination, on the side of the bracket facing the insert part, at least one catch element receptacle for a catch element molded onto the insert part or at least one catch element for a catch element receptacle formed on the insert part can be provided in the region of the further spring pocket, catch element and catch element receptacle providing the further catch connection form. The at least one bearing journal can be formed on the insert part and the at least one bearing shell on the bracket or the at least one bearing journal can be integrally formed on the bracket and the at least one bearing shell on the insert member.

The at least one bearing pin can be formed on the hinged cover at a distance from the bracket and the at least one bearing shell can be integrally formed on the insert part or the at least one bearing journal can be integrally formed on the hinged lid at the insert part and the at least one bearing shell can be formed at a distance from the bracket.

The hinged lid and the at least one bracket formed on the hinged lid are preferably formed in one piece. The insert can also be formed in one piece. The hinged cover and the at least one bracket and / or the insert part formed on the hinged cover are further preferably produced in an injection molding process or with a generative process (for example 3-D printing).

The insert and / or the hinged lid can preferably consist of a thermoplastic material.

At least two brackets formed on the hinged cover can advantageously be provided. The at least two brackets formed on the hinged lid are preferably provided spaced apart from one another in the region of the respective side edges of the hinged lid. The cover strip is preferably a roof trim strip or a side protection strip of a motor vehicle.

Part of the invention is also a motor vehicle with at least one cover device according to one of claims 1 to 9 or with at least one cover device as described above, and with at least one cover strip, wherein the insert is positioned inside or below the cover strip and the cover strip has at least one mounting opening .
