DE3230865C2 - Lockable glove box lid for motor vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

The application relates to a lockable glove box lid for motor vehicles, which has a lock cylinder and a handle flap eccentrically on its side facing the driver, a rod rotatably mounted on the back of the lid producing an operative connection between the handle flap and a centrally arranged locking member. In order to achieve a freewheeling of the handle flap in the locking position of the lock cylinder, the invention provides that the rod is axially displaceable by rotating the lock cylinder in such a way that it disengages from the locking member in the locking position of the lock cylinder, the rod also in the locking position is rotatable via the handle flap.

Description

30th

The invention relates to a lockable glove box lid for motor vehicles that have a locking cylinder off-center on the side facing the driver and a handle flap, one on the Back of the lid rotatably mounted rod an operative connection between the handle flap and a centrally located arranged closure member produces

By such, from DE-OS 28 52 309 known arrangement of the lock cylinder and the handle flap the use of the glove box on the passenger side becomes essential for the driver relieved.

However, known arrangements of this type (cars of the W 126 series from Daimler-Benz AG) now have the disadvantage that when the locking cylinder is in the secured position, the rod rotates and the handle flap are blocked in their pivoting movement, which is attempted in cases in which anyway opening the glove box lid will result in damage to operating parts of the same can.

The present invention was therefore based on the object of providing a glove box lid of the above described genus so that even when the lock cylinder is in the locking position a rotation of the rod via the handle flap is enabled without damaging it Can lead actuating parts.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the rod is axially rotated by rotating the lock cylinder is displaceable in such a way that it is out of engagement with the locking member in the locking position of the lock cylinder arrives, wherein the rod can also be rotated via the handle flap in the secured position.

The shifting of the rod takes place in an advantageous embodiment of the invention in that over the Lock cylinder is driven by a pinion segment with a pitchless partial worm on the rod

A particularly inexpensive production can finally be achieved in that the rod and part worm are made in one piece from plastic.
The subject matter of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. In the drawing shows

F i g. 1 shows a view from the front of the region of a giiff flap and the lock cylinder Part of a glove box lid,

Fig. 2 is a rear view of a portion of the Glove box lid and

F i g. 3 shows a section along the line IH-III in F i g. 2.

On the part of a glove box lid shown in the drawing, a handle flap 1 is around a horizontal axis 2 pivotably mounted The handle flap 1 has on its rear side a lever 3, which with a stop 4 of a rotatably and displaceably mounted rod 5 cooperates in such a way that the Rod 5 experiences a rotary movement when pivoting the handle flap 1

In addition to this rotary movement, the rod 5 can also be displaced in the direction of its longitudinal axis. For this purpose, the lock cylinder 6 is coupled to a pinion segment 7, which has a pitchless one Partial worm 8 meshes with the rod 5 in one piece.

The rotation of the rod 5 via the handle flap 1 takes place against the action of a spring 9.

In the middle of the glove box lid, a lock 10 is arranged, which is equipped with a not shown, The vehicle-fixed catch bracket cooperates The lock 10 has a spring-loaded hook bolt U as well a locking lever, not shown, which blocks the hook bolt 11 in the open position. In his In the open position, the hook bolt 11 is moved by a lever 12 provided on the rod 5 In the unsecured position of the lock cylinder 6 when the handle flap 1 is pivoted, the hook bolt 11 applied.

If the glove box lid is slammed shut again after opening, the safety bracket hits the Locking lever which is pushed backwards and thereby releases the hook bolt 11 so that it can perform its locking function can exercise.

If, on the other hand, the lock cylinder 6 is in its securing position, the rod 5 takes an axial one Location one shown in FIG. 2 of the drawing is indicated by dash-dotted lines. Now the lever 12 hits the Do not twist the rod 5 onto the hook bolt 11, so that the glove box lid cannot be opened is.
