Locking device for the luggage compartment of a motor vehicle, in particular one Omnibuses.

The innovation relates to a locking device for the Luggage space of a motor vehicle, in particular one Omnibusses, with a closure flap, which is on a side wall of the motor vehicle in the closed position in is arranged essentially standing vertically about a horizontal pivot axis outwardly pivotable.

Such locking devices are known per se, especially in buses. The luggage compartments are located in these vehicles are generally under the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment openings are from the The sides of the motor vehicle are accessible by folding up the corresponding flaps to the outside will. Oa the luggage compartments, in order to obtain the necessary storage space, often have a considerable height and at the known locking devices, the locking flap extends over the entire height of the luggage compartment, pivoting out such large flaps is inconvenient and also requires a considerable amount of time Space next to the vehicle.

The object underlying the innovation was to provide a locking device of the above Kind to train so that the luggage compartment is easy to open and is to be closed and when opening and closing there is only little space for the pivoted-out flap is needed.

The solution to this problem is done with those specified in the characterizing part of claim 1 Features. Advantageous embodiments of the innovation according to the invention Closure devices are described in the subclaims.

10

As explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment, folds in the case of the innovation according to the invention Closure device through the interaction of the opposing () mutually pivotable closure flap parts with the

Guide device automatically closes the flap when pivoting out and up, whereby the The swiveling space required outside is considerably reduced and the flap is also much easier to open is.

In the following, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a Embodiment of the closure device according to the invention explained in more detail.

In the drawings show:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a closure device according to the innovation, the associated Motor vehicle is not shown; FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 shows a section along the line III-III in FIG. 2.

In Figs. 1 to 3, a locking device is shown, which the luggage compartment 12 is not a rest shown omnibus closes on the long sides of the vehicle. The locking device has a Closure flap, which is composed of two closure flap parts 1 and 2. The closure flap part 1 is Via a pivot axis 3 on the upper, horizontally extending The edge of the luggage compartment 12 can be pivoted outwards.

solidifies. On the lower horizontal edge of the first flap part 1 is via a folding axis 4 second flap part 2 attached pivotably inward. Near the lower, horizontally running edge of the closure 2a of the second flap part 2, a guide arm 7 is arranged on the inside, which on his outer end carries a guide roller 6. As can be seen from Fig. The guide arm 7 is angled downwards educated. The guide roller 6 engages in a total of 5 designated guide rail, which in the Luggage compartment arranged on both sides of the vertically standing edges of the luggage compartment opening and with the Vehicle is firmly connected. The guide rail 5 has an initial portion 5 a, which is under a small acute angle is directed inwards against the closing plane. A look at this beginning section adjoining section 5b runs essentially parallel to the closing plane and one to the Section 5b adjoining end section 5c again runs at a small acute angle inclined inside towards the closing plane.

The closing edges of the luggage compartment opening and the flap are provided with a circumferential seal 11. Located on the outside of the second flap part 2 a handle 10, on which the closure flap can be pivoted out.

As can be seen from Fig. 2, runs when pulling on the handle 10 outwards the guide roller 6 following the movement of the> 5 flap part 2 initially in section 5a of FIG Guide rail 5, whereby the flap part 2 is initially guided so that the closure edge 2a of the Seal 11 moved away to the outside. When the guide roller 6 in the second section 5b of the guide

Rail 5 enters, further movement of the closure edge 2a outward is no longer possible and the Closing edge 2a is essentially parallel to the closing plane in the direction of the pivot axis 3 upwards guided. This results in further out pivot the folding process around the folding axis 4 to the Closure flap has reached the end position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 2, in which the two Flap parts 1 and 2 are largely folded up. In order to have as little space as possible for the her to claim swiveling out is the one in the direction of downward right to the folding axis 4 measured width of the first flap part 1 - so its in the folded down state Height - smaller than the corresponding dimension of the second flap part 2. So now as much as possible extensive folding of the two flap parts when Swinging out the closure flap is possible, the guide roller runs on the end portion 5c of the guide rail 5 again somewhat inward. The training of the Guide rail 5 in terms of angle and is matched to the dimensions of the flap parts 1 and 2, so that the flap opens as wide as possible with the smallest possible space requirement in the pivoting range leaves, with the closest possible folding of the two flap parts is achieved.

In the open position, the flap is through a gas pressure damper 8 connected to the vehicle is retained.

The closing movement runs in the opposite direction as the opening movement, with the starting section 5a of the Guide rail 5 is the guide so that the locking edge 2a of the second flap part 2 is firmly again is placed on the seal 11.

On the two side edges of the second flap part 2 locking devices 9 are arranged, which with corresponding locking devices cooperate on the edges of the luggage compartment opening and the closure flap in the folded down state firmly with the driving lock the wall.
