Abstract

A formed cable channel used for vehicle installations has a moulded sectors (2,3,4) with one side (3) formed to fit against the vehicle body shell (7). The other long side of the channel (4) is produced with a thin line section (5) that acts as hinge and facilitates installation of the cables. The top of the channel is enclosed by a cover (9) returned in place by formed spring clips (8). Overlapping sides provice complete enclosure. ADVANTAGE - Ease of assembly, demounting and readjusting during mfr. processes avoiding use of intensive labour. Can be injection moulded.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kabelkanal, der mittels eines Deckels verschließbar ist, ein etwa U-förmiges Profil aufweist und mit einer entlang einer zwei aufeinanderfolgende Mantel­ flächen miteinander verbindenden Kante verlaufenden Material­ schwächung zur Herbeiführung einer Relativverschwenkmöglichkeit beider Mantelflächen zueinander versehen ist.The invention relates to a cable duct, which by means of a Lid is closable, has an approximately U-shaped profile and with one along a two consecutive coat surface connecting edge running material weakening to bring about a relative pivoting possibility both lateral surfaces are provided to each other.

Ein derartiger Kabelkanal, der aus einem Strangpreßprofil be­ steht und bei dem die geschwächte Kante die eine Seitenwand mit dem Deckel verbindet, so daß diese Kante eine Scharnierachse den Deckel darstellt, ist aus der DE-PS 38 05 330 bekannt. Zum Einsatz in Kraftwagen sind Kabelkanäle erforderlich, die im Verlauf ihrer Längserstreckung an unterschiedliche Einbaube­ dingungen anpaßbar sein müssen, so daß in der Regel nicht auf im Strangpreßverfahren hergestellte Kabelkanäle zurückgegriffen werden kann. Vielmehr sind vorzugsweise in Spritzgußtechnik geschaffene Kabelkanäle notwendig, wobei es jedoch wegen der oftmals zur offenen Seite hin zulaufenden Querschnittsform aufwendiger mehrteiliger Formteilhälften bedarf.Such a cable duct, the be from an extruded profile stands and where the weakened edge with the one side wall connects the lid so that this edge is a hinge axis represents the lid is known from DE-PS 38 05 330. Cable ducts are required for use in motor vehicles Course of their longitudinal extension to different installation Conditions must be adaptable, so that usually not Extruded cable ducts are used can be. Rather, they are preferably injection molded created cable channels necessary, but because of the often cross-sectional shape tapering to the open side elaborate multi-part mold halves required.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Möglichkeit zur Herstellung eines spritzgegossenen Kabelkanales mit im Einbauzustand zur offenen, durch einen Deckel verschließbaren Seite hin zulau­ fender Querschnittsform zu schaffen, ohne daß es aufwendiger und damit teurer Formteilhälften, verbunden mit arbeitsintensiven Montage- und Demontagearbeiten im Verlauf des Herstellungsprozesses und eventueller Nacharbeiten bedarf.It is an object of the invention to be able to manufacture of an injection molded cable duct with in the installed state open side, closable by a lid fender cross-sectional shape to create, without it being more expensive and thus expensive molded part halves, connected with  labor-intensive assembly and disassembly work in the course of Manufacturing process and any rework required.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Kabelkanal nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale ge­ löst. Entgegen der im Einbauzustand notwendigen, zur offenen Seite des Kabelkanales hin zulaufenden Querschnittsform, kann wegen der Verschwenkbarkeit der einen Seitenwand des Kabelkanales während dessen Herstellungsvorganges eine mehr V-förmige Querschnittsform des Profils gewählt werden, die den Einsatz von einteiligen, gegensinnig zu öffnenden Werkzeug- Formteilhälften erlaubt.This task is done with a cable duct according to the generic term of the claim ge by its characterizing features solves. Contrary to what is necessary in the installed state, for the open Side of the cable duct tapering cross-sectional shape, can because of the pivotability of one side wall of the Cable channel during its manufacturing process one more V-shaped cross-sectional shape of the profile can be chosen, which the Use of one-piece, counter-opening tool Part halves allowed.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläu­ tert.The subject matter of the invention is described in the following in the drawing illustrated embodiment in more detail tert.

Ein nicht dargestellte Versorgungsleitungen aufnehmender Ka­ belkanal 1, der nach oben hin offen ist, weist in der in aus­ gezogenen Linien gezeigten Montagestellung ein etwa U-förmiges Profil auf und setzt sich aus einem Boden 2 und zwei Seiten­ wänden 3 und 4 zusammen. Der Übergangsbereich zwischen dem Bo­ den 2 und der Seitenwand 4 wird von einer Kante 5 mit einer Materialschwächung 6 gebildet, wodurch eine Scharnierachse ge­ schaffen wird, die ein Verschwenken der Seitenwand 4 gegenüber dem Boden 2 erlaubt.A supply lines not shown Ka receiving channel 1 , which is open towards the top, has an approximately U-shaped profile in the assembly position shown in solid lines and is composed of a bottom 2 and two side walls 3 and 4 . The transition region between the Bo 2 and the side wall 4 is formed by an edge 5 with a material weakening 6 , whereby a hinge axis is created, which allows pivoting of the side wall 4 relative to the bottom 2 .

Im Anlieferungszustand des Kabelkanales 1 nimmt dessen Seiten­ wand 4 die in strichpunktierten Linien dargestellte Ausrichtung ein, die ein Einlegen der nicht dargestellten Versorgungslei­ tungen begünstigt und die die Herstellung des Kabelkanales 1 im Spritzgußverfahren mit einfachen Formhälften gestattet, welche keine Unterteilung benötigen und nach dem Erkalten des Werkstückes zu dessen Freigabe lediglich gegensinnig zueinander ausgefahren werden müssen.In the delivery state of the cable duct 1 , its side wall 4 takes the orientation shown in dash-dotted lines, which favors insertion of the supply lines, not shown, and which allows the manufacture of the cable duct 1 by injection molding with simple mold halves, which do not require subdivision and after cooling Workpiece must only be extended in opposite directions to its release.

Am Montageort, der z. B. von einem fahrzeuginnenseitigen Ab­ schnitt eines äußeren Längsträgers 7 eines nicht näher darge­ stellten Kraftwagens gebildet wird, erfolgt ein Überführen der Seitenwand 4 von der in strichpunktierten Linien gezeigten Lage in die mit ausgezogenen Linien gezeigte Lage, die durch im Ab­ stand voneinander von oben her auf beide Seitenwände 3 und 4 aufsteckbare Laschen 8 gesichert wird. Bei diesem Aufsteckvor­ gang erfolgt gleichzeitig eine Festlegung des Kabelkanales 1 am Längsträger 7. Ein den Kabelkanal 1 nach oben hin verschlie­ ßender, als Verkleidungsteil ausgebildeter Deckel 9, der im Zusammenwirken mit der Seitenwand 4 auch der Festlegung eines Bodenbelages 10 dient, wird in Klemmabschnitte 11 der Laschen 8 eingedrückt.At the installation site, the z. B. from an inside of the vehicle from an outer side member 7 of a motor vehicle not shown Darge is formed, there is a transfer of the side wall 4 from the position shown in dash-dotted lines in the position shown with solid lines, which stood in Ab from each other from above on both side walls 3 and 4 attachable tabs 8 is secured. In this Aufsteckvor gear a determination of the cable channel 1 on the side member 7 is made A cable duct 1 closing upwards ß, designed as a cover part 9 , which in cooperation with the side wall 4 also serves to define a floor covering 10 , is pressed into clamping portions 11 of the tabs 8 .
