Definitions
- the invention relates to a lock with a housing and with a rotary bolt guided in the housing, which is held in its limit positions by a tumbler.
- Locks of the aforementioned type are known in numerous versions. Common to all known locks is that they are composed of numerous individual parts.
- the invention has for its object to minimize a lock of the aforementioned type, ie to create a lock that consists of a minimum of parts. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the entire rotary bolt is injection molded from a plastic part and the entire housing including the tumblers from a further plastic part.
- the lock according to the invention - apart from a key and a possibly necessary cover - consists only of two parts, the housing and the rotary bolt. This is the smallest possible number of parts, if one of the individual parts - the rotary bolt - in relation to the other individual part - the housing - has to be moved in order to fulfill the function of an object - the lock. In particular, no separate springs are required for the tumblers.
- the lock chosen as an exemplary embodiment has a housing 1 and a rotary latch 2 guided in the housing.
- the rotary bolt 2 is held in its limit positions offset by 90 o in a manner still to be described, each with a tumbler 11.
- the rotary latch is actuated from one limit position to the other and back using a key 3.
- the entire rotary latch 2 is injection molded from a plastic part.
- the entire housing 1, including the tumblers 11, is injection molded from a plastic part.
- POM - according to DIN 7728 - is preferred as the plastic, namely polyacetal resin.
- the housing 1 is formed from a rear plate 12 and two lateral strips 13 running parallel to one another.
- a bore 14 is provided in the plate 12 for receiving the rotary bolt 2.
- the two side strips 13 have different widths.
- One of the tumblers 11 is formed on each of the strips 13.
- Each tumbler 11 is formed from a projection 15 projecting beyond the inside of the strip 13 and a recess 16 machined into the strip 13 at a distance from the projection 15.
- the surfaces of the recess 16 run like those of the protrusion 15.
- the web thus formed between the outer and inner surface of the protrusion 15 has any shape if it only ensures maximum suspension effect.
- each projection 15 has the shape of an acute-angled triangle in the end view. Consequently, the recess 16 also has the shape of an acute-angled triangle in the adjoining part. The triangle can be isosceles or unequal.
- the recess 16 is of any design. In the exemplary embodiment, a rectangular part adjoins the part with an acute angle in the view. The described design of the tumbler 11 ensures its resilient-elastic properties in order to engage in the rotary latch 2 and to hold it in the assigned limit position.
- the rotary latch 2 is provided on one end face with a hollow pin 21. With the hollow pin 21, the rotary latch 2 engages in the bore 14 of the housing 1.
- the rotary latch 2 is provided with a key channel 22 on the end face opposite the hollow pin 11.
- An annular recess 23 connects radially to the key channel 22.
- the recess 23 is limited by two stops 24.
- the stops 24 are arranged at right angles to one another.
- the extension of the key channel 22 forms the inner wall of the hollow pin 21.
- a comb-like projection 25 is provided on the rotary latch 2 essentially in the middle between the two end faces. On the circumference of the comb-like projection 25, notches 26 are made offset to one another. One of the tumblers 11 engages in a notch 26 in one of the limit positions.
- the comb-like projection 25 is designed asymmetrically. Its part forming the exclusion part, shown on the right in the drawings, is longer than the other part shown in the drawings below.
- the comb-like projection 25 has the effect of an eccentric.
- the key 3 is inserted into the key channel 22 with a vertical beard.
- the key 3 is turned clockwise, it bears against the vertically arranged stop 24 against the action of the tumbler 11 on the bar 13 on the right in the drawing.
- the notch in the drawing engages with the tumbler 11 formed on the left bar 13.
- the castle is now excluded; the longer part of the projection 25 projects beyond the adjacent edge of the housing 1.
- the key 3 can be turned counterclockwise by 90 ° within the recess 23 and removed. To open the lock, the described process is carried out counterclockwise after inserting the key 3. At the end of the opening process, the position of the lock shown in the drawing is reached again. The key can be removed by turning it clockwise by 90 o .

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schloß mit einem Gehäuse und mit einem in dem Gehäuse geführten Drehriegel, der in seinen Grenzlagen durch je eine Zuhaltung festgehalten ist.The invention relates to a lock with a housing and with a rotary bolt guided in the housing, which is held in its limit positions by a tumbler.
Schlösser der vorgenannten Art sind in zahlreichen Ausführungen bekannt. Gemeinsam ist allen bekannten Schlössern, daß sie aus zahlreichen Einzelteilen zusammengesetzt sind.Locks of the aforementioned type are known in numerous versions. Common to all known locks is that they are composed of numerous individual parts.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schloß der vorgenannten Art zu minimieren, also ein Schloß zu schaffen, das aus einem Minimum an Teilen besteht. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der gesamte Drehriegel aus einem Kunststoffteil und das gesamte Gehäuse einschließlich der Zuhaltungen aus einem weiteren Kunststoffteil gespritzt ist.The invention has for its object to minimize a lock of the aforementioned type, ie to create a lock that consists of a minimum of parts. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the entire rotary bolt is injection molded from a plastic part and the entire housing including the tumblers from a further plastic part.
Das Schloß nach der Erfindung besteht - abgesehen von einem Schlüssel und einer möglicherweise notwendigen Abdeckung - lediglich aus zwei Teilen, dem Gehäuse und dem Drehriegel. Dies ist die kleinstmögliche Zahl an Einzelteilen, wenn eines der Einzelteile - der Drehriegel - bezogen auf das andere Einzelteil - das Gehäuse - bewegt werden muß, um die Funktion eines Gegenstands - des Schlosses - zu erfüllen. Insbesondere sind keine gesonderten Federn für die Zuhaltungen erforderlich.The lock according to the invention - apart from a key and a possibly necessary cover - consists only of two parts, the housing and the rotary bolt. This is the smallest possible number of parts, if one of the individual parts - the rotary bolt - in relation to the other individual part - the housing - has to be moved in order to fulfill the function of an object - the lock. In particular, no separate springs are required for the tumblers.

Das als Ausführungsbeispiel gewählte Schloß weist ein Gehäuse 1 und einen in dem Gehäuse geführten Drehriegel 2 auf. Der Drehriegel 2 ist in seinen um 90o versetzten Grenzlagen in noch zu beschreibender Weise durch je eine Zuhaltung 11 festgehalten. Die Be-tätigung des Drehriegels aus der einen in die andere Grenzlage und zurück erfolgt mit Hilfe eines Schlüssels 3.The lock chosen as an exemplary embodiment has a
Der gesamte Drehriegel 2 ist aus einem Kunststoffteil gespritzt. Auch das gesamte Gehäuse 1, einschließlich der Zuhaltungen 11, ist aus einem Kunststoffteil gespritzt. Als Kunststoff ist bevorzugt POM - nach DIN 7728 - eingesetzt, nämlcih Polyacetal-Harz.The entire
Das Gehäuse 1 ist aus einer hinteren Platte 12 und zwei seitlichen, parallel zueinander verlaufenden Leisten 13 gebildet. In der Platte 12 ist eine Bohrung 14 für die Aufnahme des Drehriegels 2 vorgesehen. Die beiden seitlichen Leisten 13 haben unterschiedliche Breite. An jeder der Leisten 13 ist eine der Zuhaltungen 11 angeformt.The
Jede Zuhaltung 11 ist aus einem über die Innenseite der Leiste 13 vorstehenden Vorsprung 15 und einer im Abstand von dem Vorsprung 15 in die Leiste 13 eingearbeiteten Ausnehmung 16 gebildet. In dem an den Vorsprung 15 anschließenden Teil verlaufen die Flächen der Ausnehmung 16 wie die des Vorsprungs 15. Der dadurch zwischen Außen- und Innenfläche des Vorsprungs 15 gebildete Steg hat beliebige Form, wenn er nur maximalen Federungseffekt gewährleistet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel hat jeder Vorsprung 15 in der Stirnansicht die Form eines spitzwinkeligen Dreiecks. Folglich hat auch die Ausnehmung 16 in dem anschließenden Teil die Form eines spitzwinkligen Dreiecks. Das Dreieck kann gleichschenklig oder ungleichschenklig sein. Im übrigen ist auch die Ausnehmung 16 beliebig ausgebildet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel schließt sich an den in der Ansicht spitzwinkligen Teil ein rechteckiger Teil an. Die beschriebene Ausgestaltung der Zuhaltung 11 gewährleistet deren federnd-elastische Eigenschaften, um in den Drehriegel 2 einzugreifen und ihn in der zugeordneten Grenzlage zu halten.Each
Der Drehriegel 2 ist an einer Stirnseite mit einem Hohlzapfen 21 versehen. Mit dem Hohlzapfen 21 greift der Drehriegel 2 in die Bohrung 14 des Gehäusese 1 ein. Der Drehriegel 2 ist auf der dem Hohlzapfen 11 entgegengesetzten Stirnseite mit einem Schlüsselkanal 22 versehen. An den Schlüsselkanal 22 schließt radial eine kreisringförmige Aussparung 23 an. Die Aussparung 23 ist durch zwei Anschläge 24 begrenzt. Die Anschläge 24 sind im rechten Winkel zueinander angeordnet. Die Verlängerung des Schlüsselkanals 22 bildet die Innenwandung des Hohlzapfens 21.The
Im wesentlichen mittig zwischen den beiden Stirnseiten ist an dem Drehriegel 2 ein kammartiger Vorsprung 25 vorgesehen. Am Umfang des kammartigen Vorsprungs 25 sind versetzt zueinander Kerben 26 eingebracht. In je eine Kerbe 26 greift in einer der Grenzlagen eine der Zuhaltungen 11.A comb-
Der kammartige Vorsprung 25 ist unsymmetrisch ausgeführt. Sein den Ausschließteil bildender, in den Zeichnungen rechts dargestellter Teil ist länger ausgeführt als der in den Zeichnungen unten dargestellte andere Teil. Der kammartige Vorsprung 25 hat die Wirkung eines Exzenters. In der in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Lage wird der Schlüssel 3 mit vertikalem Bart in den Schlüsselkanal 22 eingeführt. Bei Drehung des Schlüssels 3 im Uhrzeigersinn nimmt er in Anlage an den vertikal angeordneten Anschlag 24 entgegen der Wirkung der Zuhaltung 11 an der in der Zeichnung rechten Leiste 13 den Drehriegel 2 mit. Nach Drehung um 90o gelangt die in der Zeichnung untere Kerbe mit der an der linken Leiste 13 angeformten Zuhaltung 11 in Eingriff. Das Schloß ist jetzt ausgeschlossen; der längere Teil des Vorsprungs 25 überragt die benachbarte Kante des Gehäuses 1. Der Schlüssel 3 kann im Gegenuhrzeigersinn um 90o innerhalb der Aussparung 23 gedreht und abgezogen werden. Zum Öffnen des Schlosses wird nach Einführen des Schlüssels 3 der beschriebene Vorgang im Gegenuhrzeigersinn durchgeführt. Am Ende des Öffnungsvorgangs ist die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Lage des Schlosses wieder erreicht. Der Schlüssel kann nach Drehung im Uhrzeigersinn um 90o abgezogen werden.The comb-
Das beschriebene Schloß kann auch mit zwei Schiebern ausgestaltet sein, die gleichzeitig geschlossen werden.The lock described can also be designed with two sliders that are closed simultaneously.
Das Schloß ist überall da verwendbar, wo mit einem Drehriegel arbeitende Schlösser zum Verriegeln eines zu einem das Schloß aufnehmenden festen Teil beweglichen Teils eingesetzt werden.The lock can be used wherever locks operating with a rotary bolt are used to lock a part that can move to a fixed part that receives the lock.
