Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ball head coupling for Bowden cables, in particular for establishing a connection between actuators and control members in motor vehicles, the Bowden cable with an end piece having a ball socket and the actuating or. Control element are provided with a ball head held in the ball socket.
  • the opening diameter of the substantially closed ball socket and the diameter of the ball head are matched to one another in such a way that the ball head can be snapped into the pan with a certain force when the material elasticity is used and after snapping in or snapping in is freely floating in it.
  • the disadvantage of the known Bowden cable couplings can be seen in particular in the fact that their assembly, adjustment and, if necessary, disassembly cause considerable difficulties when the use - as is regularly the case in the engine compartment of motor vehicles - has to take place in a confined space and / or in difficult to access locations.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a Bowden cable connection which on the one hand enables easy assembly and disassembly and on the other hand ensures a connection that meets all operational requirements with regard to its strength.
  • the invention consists in that the ball socket is smaller from a spherical cap, i.e.
  • the length of a height less than a spherical diameter is formed and the spherical head on the side facing away from the spherical cap is surrounded by a counterbearing which is held on a laterally resilient web which extends parallel to the central plane of the spherical head, the spring bar extending towards the insertion side of the spherical head the central plane is offset and the counter bearing comprises the ball head on the side opposite the insertion opening.
  • the invention provides a Bowden cable connection which is easy to assemble and disassemble on the one hand and on the other hand meets all operational requirements in terms of its strength.
  • the counter bearing Due to the operative connection between the calotte on the one hand and the one attached resilient web and holding the ball head on the opposite side of the spherical counter bearing on the other hand, the counter bearing can be easily bent out to the side when inserting the ball head for the purpose of assembly, so that the assembly can be carried out with the least effort.
  • connection area between the counter bearing and the spring bar is advantageously folded such that an insertion funnel for the ball head and an adjoining surface is formed at a distance corresponding to the diameter of the ball head from the base of the spherical cap on the insertion side for the ball head .
  • the insertion of the ball head into its holder is considerably simplified, without this affecting the strength and stability of the connection.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through a ball head connection according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a view from above of FIG. 1
  • the ball head coupling for Bowden cables shown in the drawing consists of the end piece 2, which is used to establish a connection between the Bowden cable 1 leading to the actuator and the control member connected to the lever 5.
  • a ball head 6 and a ball socket work together, the ball socket of a spherical cap 7 having a small, i.e. the length of a hemisphere below the height is formed and the ball head 6 on the side facing away from the spherical cap 7 is surrounded by a counter bearing 8 which is held on a laterally resilient web 9 extending parallel to the central plane M of the spherical cap.
  • the spring bar 9 is arranged offset from the center plane M after the insertion side of the ball head, while the counter bearing 8 comprises the ball head on the opposite side.
  • the connection area between the counter bearing 8 and the spring bar 9 is folded in such a way that a surface 10 forming an insertion funnel for the ball head is formed on the insertion side for the ball head 6, the adjoining, essentially flat surface 11 corresponding to the diameter of the ball head 6 Distance from the bottom of the calotte 7 is.
  • the ball head 6 is inserted into the insertion opening and brought into contact with the spherical cap 7 by pivoting the counter bearing 8, whereupon the counter bearing 8 springs back on its spring bar 9 into the position shown in FIG. 1, in which the ball head 6 is held clamped in the spherical cap 7.
  • the ball head endeavors to take the thrust bearing 8 with it and to pivot it about the pivot point D of the spring bar 9 on the. Circular arc K.
  • the circular arc K which intersects the center plane M in the contact point between ball head 6 and counter bearing 8, runs clearly recognizable - seen in the direction of pull P - into the ball, from which it can be seen that the counter bearing 8 holds the ball head 6 in such a way Trap with increased force proportional to the tensile force is pressed into the spherical cap 7. The spherical head 6 is thus held in the end piece 2 practically insolvably.

Abstract

Dans une attache pour câbles Bowden, en particulier pour établir une connexion entre des vérins et des éléments de réglage dans des véhicules à moteur, le câble Bowden (1) comprend une pièce terminale (2) pourvue d'un coussinet sphérique et le vérin ou élément de réglage (5) est pourvu d'une tête sphérique (6) retenue dans le coussinet sphérique. Le coussinet sphérique est formé par une calotte sphérique (7) de hauteur réduite, c'est-à-dire inférieure à la longueur du rayon de la sphère, la tête sphérique (6) étant tenue du côté opposé à la calotte (7) par une butée (8) fixée à une traverse (9) parallèle au plan médian de la tête sphérique et latéralement élastique. La traverse élastique (9) est décalée par rapport au plan médian (M) de la tête sphérique, vers le côté d'introduction de celle-ci, et la butée (8) saisit le côté opposé de la tête sphérique. La zone de raccordement entre la butée (8) et la traverse élastique (9) est chanfreinée de telle sorte, formant une surface chanfreinée (10), qu'il se forme du côté d'introduction de la tête sphérique (6) un entonnoir d'introduction de la tête sphérique ainsi qu'une surface de raccordement (11) à celle-ci à une distance du fond du la calotte (7) correspondant au diamètre de la tête sphérique (6).
