Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschluss für Aufbauten von Nutzfahrzeugen mit einem ein Verschlussglied betätigenden Handhebel, der auf einer Grundplatte um eine senkrecht zu dieser verlaufenden Achse schwenkbar angeordnet ist, und mit einer Sicherungseinrichtung, die aus einem durch eine Feder beaufschlagten und in einer Bohrung geführten Einrastelement sowie einer Einrastausnehmung besteht und die in Schliessstellung des Verschlusses den Handhebel in bezug auf die Grundplatte arretiert.The invention relates to a closure for superstructures of commercial vehicles with a hand lever actuating a closure member, which is arranged on a base plate so as to be pivotable about an axis running perpendicular to this axis, and with a securing device which consists of a latching element which is acted upon by a spring and guided in a bore, and there is a latching recess and which locks the hand lever in relation to the base plate in the closed position of the closure.

Ein Verschluss dieser Art ist aus DE-U-1 906 362 bekannt. Das Einrastelement der Sicherungseinrichtung dieses Verschlusses besteht aus einer Kugel, die zusammen mit einer Schraubenfeder in einer Bohrung im verschwenkbaren Teil des Verschlusses angeordnet ist. Die Kugel wird durch die Feder in eine Einrastausnehmung in der Grundplatte gedrückt, wodurch der Verschluss arretiert wird.A closure of this type is known from DE-U-1 906 362. The locking element of the securing device of this closure consists of a ball which is arranged together with a helical spring in a bore in the pivotable part of the closure. The spring presses the ball into a snap-in recess in the base plate, which locks the lock.

Nachteilig an diesem Verschluss ist, dass die Sicherungseinrichtung den Verschluss nicht blockiert, sondern dass sie durch verhältnismässig geringen Kraftaufwand überwunden werden kann.A disadvantage of this closure is that the securing device does not block the closure, but that it can be overcome with relatively little effort.

Der Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verschluss der eingangs bezeichneten Art so auszubilden, dass die Sicherungseinrichtung den Verschluss vollständig blockiert, aber leicht mit der Hand, die den Handhebel umfasst, geöffnet werden kann.The invention was based on the object of designing a closure of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the securing device completely blocks the closure, but can be opened easily with the hand comprising the hand lever.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verschluss der eingangs bezeichneten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Bohrung für das Einrastelement in der Grundplatte angeordnet ist, dass das Einrastelement aus einem Einraststift besteht, dass die Einrastausnehmung als ein durch den Handhebel hindurchgehendes Einrastloch ausgebildet ist und dass im Einrastloch ein verschiebbarer Ausrückstift angeordnet ist.This object is achieved with a closure of the type described in the introduction in that the bore for the latching element is arranged in the base plate, that the latching element consists of a latching pin, that the latching recess is designed as a latching hole passing through the hand lever, and that in the latching hole slidable release pin is arranged.

Bei der erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsform wird der über den Handhebel vorspringende Ausrückstift mit dem Daumen der den Handhebel ergreifenden Hand niedergedrückt, wobei er den Einraststift so lange vor sich herschiebt, bis er aus dem Einrastloch herausgedrückt worden ist. Der Handhebel kann dann betätigt werden.In the embodiment according to the invention, the release pin projecting over the hand lever is pressed down with the thumb of the hand gripping the hand lever, pushing the locking pin in front of it until it has been pressed out of the locking hole. The hand lever can then be operated.

Die erwähnte Sicherungseinrichtung kann bei Verschlüssen der verschiedensten Art vorgesehen werden, beispielsweise bei Hakenverschlüssen und Pendelverschlüssen.The safety device mentioned can be provided for closures of all kinds, for example hook closures and pendulum closures.

Aus DE-C-1 047 059 ist ein Verschluss für Ausstellfenster an Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt, der ebenfalls einen ein Verschlussglied betätigenden Handhebel und eine Sicherungseinrichtung aufweist. Die Sicherungseinrichtung besteht aus einem axial angeordneten Druckknopf sowie einer unter dem Handhebel angeordneten Wippe, die mit einem Einrastzahn unter den Druckknopf greift. Der Druckknopf kann nur nach Schwenken der Wippe niedergedrückt werden. Angaben darüber, wie der Druckknopf den Handhebel arretiert, fehlen vollständig.From DE-C-1 047 059 a closure for opening windows on motor vehicles is known which also has a hand lever actuating a closure member and a safety device. The securing device consists of an axially arranged push button and a rocker arranged under the hand lever, which engages under the push button with a latching tooth. The push button can only be depressed after swinging the rocker. There is no complete information on how the push button locks the hand lever.

Eine Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemässen Verschlusses wird nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert.An embodiment of the closure according to the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen erfindungsgemässen Verschluss in Ausbildung als Hakenverschluss für eine Bordwand eines Nutzfahrzeugs und
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt an der Linie 11-11 von Fig. 1.
The drawings show:
  • Fig. 1 shows an inventive closure in the form of a hook closure for a side wall of a commercial vehicle and
  • 2 shows a section on the line 11-11 of FIG. 1st

Eine Grundplatte 11 des in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigten Verschlusses besitzt drei Löcher 12 zum Anschrauben an einer Bordwand eines Nutzfahrzeugs. Im mittleren Bereich der Grundplatte 11 ist eine Achse 13 mit einem Achsenkopf 14 befestigt. Weiterhin weist die Grundplatte 11 eine längliche Ausbauchung 15 auf, deren Zweck noch erläutert wird.A base plate 11 of the closure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has three holes 12 for screwing onto a side wall of a commercial vehicle. In the central area of the base plate 11, an axle 13 is fastened with an axle head 14. Furthermore, the base plate 11 has an elongated bulge 15, the purpose of which will be explained below.

Auf der Achse 13 ist ein Handhebel 16 angelenkt, mit dem einstückig ein Verschlusshaken 17 ausgebildet ist. Das abgewinkelte Ende dieses Verschlusshakens greift in Schliessstellung in eine Öse eines nicht dargestellten Gegenelements ein. Der Handhebet 16 gleitet beim Öffnen und Schliessen auf der länglichen Ausbauchung 15, welche als Widerlager dient, wenn von innen her auf die Bordwand Druck ausgeübt wird.A hand lever 16 is articulated on the axis 13, with which a locking hook 17 is formed in one piece. The angled end of this locking hook engages in the closed position in an eyelet of a counter element, not shown. The hand lever 16 slides on opening and closing on the elongated bulge 15, which serves as an abutment when pressure is exerted on the side wall from the inside.

Ein Einraststift 18 ist in einer Bohrung 19 im Bereich der länglichen Ausbauchung 15 der Grundplatte 1 angeordnet. Er besitzt an einer Seite eine Anschlagscheibe 20 und wird durch eine Blattfeder 21 federnd in der Bohrung 19 festgehalten. Die Blattfeder 21 ist in der Ausbauchung 15 mittels einer Niete 22 befestigt.A locking pin 18 is arranged in a bore 19 in the region of the elongated bulge 15 of the base plate 1. It has a stop disc 20 on one side and is held resiliently in the bore 19 by a leaf spring 21. The leaf spring 21 is fastened in the bulge 15 by means of a rivet 22.

Das über die Grundplatte 1 vorspringende Ende des Einraststifts 19 springt in Schliessstellung des Verschlusses in ein Einrastloch 23 im Handhebel 16 vor. Das Einrastloch 23 besitzt einen abgestuften Teil 24, in welchem ein Ausrückstift 25 geführt ist. Der Ausrückstift 25 besitzt zwei Köpfe 26 und 27, so dass er im Einrastloch 23 festgehalten wird. Es ist ersichtlich, dass nach dem Ergreifen des Handhebels 16 zwecks Öffnen des Verschlusses der Ausrückstift 25 mit dem Daumen niedergedrückt werden kann, wobei dieser den Einraststift 18 vor sich herschiebt, bis er völlig vom Einrastloch 23 freikommt. Hierauf kann der Verschluss geöffnet werden. Beim Schliessen läuft das Ende des Einrastzapfens 18 auf eine seitliche Rundung am Handhebel 16 auf, wobei er niedergedrückt wird, bis das Einrastloch 23 mit ihm fluchtet und der Einraststift 18 einrastet.The end of the latch pin 19 projecting over the base plate 1 projects into a latch hole 23 in the hand lever 16 in the closed position of the closure. The locking hole 23 has a stepped part 24, in which a release pin 25 is guided. The release pin 25 has two heads 26 and 27, so that it is held in the locking hole 23. It can be seen that after gripping the hand lever 16 to open the lock, the release pin 25 can be pressed down with the thumb, which pushes the latch pin 18 in front of it until it is completely free of the latch hole 23. The lock can then be opened. When closing, the end of the locking pin 18 runs on a lateral curvature on the hand lever 16, wherein it is pressed down until the locking hole 23 is flush with it and the locking pin 18 engages.
