Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Federabstützung für einen Kraftwagentürfeststeller, bei dem eine am einen Türanordnungsteil, Tür oder Türsäule, schwenkbar angelenkte ein am anderen Türanordnungsteil starr befestigtes Haltergehäuse durchsetzende starre Türhaltestange mittels einer auf dem freien Belastungsarm einer im Haltergehäuse angeordneten und an diesem über einen Stützarm abgestützten Drehstabfeder frei drehbar angeordneten Belastungsrolle beaufschlagt ist, wobei die Drehstabfeder in einer Langlochausnehmung des aus einem Blechmaterialzuschnitt gefalteten Haltergehäuses aufgenommen ist.The invention relates to a spring support for a motor vehicle door arrester, in which a rigid door holding rod, which is pivotally articulated on a door arrangement part, door or door pillar, penetrates a holder housing which is rigidly fastened to the other door arrangement part, by means of a support arm arranged in the holder housing on the free load arm and on this via a support arm supported torsion bar spring is freely rotatably arranged loading roller, wherein the torsion bar spring is received in an elongated hole recess of the folded from a sheet material holder housing.

Bei Kraftwagentürfeststellern dieser Bauart weist die zur Aufbringung einer Brems- bzw. Haltekraft des Türfeststellers erforderliche, als Torsionsfeder ausgebildete Belastungsfeder jeweils eine S- bzw. C-förmige Krümmung auf und ist, wie beispielsweise gemäß der FR-A-2 395 164 über ihren Schaftteil und ferner auch über ihren Stützarm innerhalb einer Langlochausnehmung eines aus einem Blechmaterialzuschnitt gefalteten Haltergehäuses gehalten bzw. abgestützt, derart, daß ihr freier Belastungsarm beim Durchgang der Rastausnehmungen der Türhaltestange durch das Haltergehäuse ausgelenkt wird. Diese Auslenkung des Belastungsarmes der Türhaltestange bewirkt, wie sich in der Praxis herausgestellt hat, auch eine Verdrehung des Schaftteiles der Drehstabfeder gegenüber dem ihn abstützenden Bereichen des Haltegehäuses, woraus eine Geräuschentwicklung innerhalb des Türfeststellers resultiert, die mit zunehmender Betriebsdauer des Türfeststellers und damit mit zunehmender Auslaibung der Abstützung des Schaftteiles der Drehstabfeder größer wird. Man hat versucht diesem Problem der Geräuschentwicklung mittels einer Fettung des Schaftteiles der Türhaltestange beizukommen, jedoch hat sich gezeigt, daß diese Maßnahme nicht ausreichend ist, um eine Geräuschentwicklung innerhalb des Türfeststellers über dessen gesamte Lebensdauer hin zu unterbinden. Weiterhin ist es bei mit einer als Torsionsfeder ausgebildeten Belastungsfeder ausgestatteten, mit einem aus Schanierprofilen gebildeten Türscharnier baulich vereinigten Türfeststellern bekannt, den Schaftteil der Torsionsfeder vermittels einer Lagerschale aus wartungsfreiem Lagermaterial in einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung des Scharnierflügelblattes der einen Scharnierhälfte zu lagern, wobei die Festlegung von Schaftteil der Torsionsfeder und Lagerschale mittels den Schaftteil der Torsionsfeder übergreifender Verprägungen des Scharnierflügelblattes erfolgt. Eine solche Abstützung der Torsionsfeder ist aber nur dort möglich, wo der Schaftteil der Torsionsfeder über eine ausreichende Länge hin in einer Ausnehmung des Scharnierflügelblattes einliegt, so daß ein gewisses axiales Wandern der Lagerschale zugelassen werden kann, ohne daß sich daraus zu Geräuschentwicklungen führende Berührungen zwischen dem Schaftteil der Torsionsfeder und dem ihn abstützenden Scharnierflügelblatt ergeben.In motor vehicle door locks of this type, the load spring designed as a torsion spring for applying a braking or holding force of the door lock has an S- or C-shaped curvature and is, for example, according to FR-A-2 395 164 over its shaft part and also held or supported via its support arm within an elongated hole recess of a holder housing folded from a sheet material blank, such that its free load arm is deflected by the holder housing when the latching recesses in the door holding rod pass through. As has been found in practice, this deflection of the loading arm of the door holding rod also causes the shaft part of the torsion bar spring to rotate with respect to the regions of the holding housing which support it, which results in a noise development within the door arrester, which increases with the operating time of the door arrester and thus with the slack the support of the shaft part of the torsion bar spring becomes larger. Attempts have been made to solve this problem of noise development by greasing the shaft part of the door holding rod, but it has been shown that this measure is not sufficient to prevent noise development within the door stay over its entire service life. It is also at With a load spring designed as a torsion spring, which is structurally combined with a door hinge formed from hinge profiles, it is known to mount the shaft part of the torsion spring by means of a bearing shell made of maintenance-free bearing material in a corresponding recess in the hinge leaf of one hinge half, the fixing of the shaft spring and bearing part of the torsion by means of embossments of the hinge wing leaf which overlap the shaft part of the torsion spring. Such support of the torsion spring is only possible where the shaft part of the torsion spring lies in a recess of the hinge leaf over a sufficient length, so that a certain axial movement of the bearing shell can be permitted without the resulting contact between the leading to noise Shaft part of the torsion spring and the hinge leaf supporting it.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde einen auch unabhängig von den Türscharnieren einsetzbaren Türfeststeller mit einem aus einem Blechmaterialzuschnitt gefalteten Haltergehäuse ausgestatteten Torsionsfeder-Türfeststeller der eingangs genannten Bauart dahingehend weiter zu verbessern, daß er auch bei einem geringstmöglichen Herstellungsaufwand über seine gesamte Lebensdauer hin geräuschfrei arbeitet.The invention is therefore based on the object of using a door arrester which can also be used independently of the door hinges and is equipped with a torsion spring door arrester of the type mentioned at the beginning, which folds out of a sheet metal material blank, in such a way that it operates without noise over its entire service life even with the least possible production outlay.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Drehstabfeder hinsichtlich ihres Schaftteiles innerhalb des Haltergehäuses über eine Lagerschale aus selbstragendem und wartungsfreiem Lagermaterial abgestützt ist, wobei die Lagerschale zusätzlich zu mechanisch wirkenden Haltemitteln durch eine vorgewählte Vorspannung zwischen Schaftteil und Stützarm in ihrer Lage innerhalb des Haltergehäuses gehalten ist. Dabei überbrückt die Lagerschale den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden die Abstützung des Schaftteiles der Drehstabfeder bildenden Seitenwandungen des Haltergehäuses und ist gegen ein Wandern in axialer Richtung zusätzlich durch radial zu ihrem Profilquerschnitt abgestellte, an den Außenflächen der Seitenwandungen des Haltergehäuses anliegende Ohren geschützt. Aus dieser Anordnung und Ausbildung der Lagerschale resultiert eine dauerhafte, über die gesamte Lebensdauer des Türfeststellers hin reichende wartungs- und reibungsfreie Abstützung des Schaftteiles der Torsionsfeder, die ihererseits eine daernde Geräuschfreiheit gewährleistet. Ausgehend von dem Umstand, daß die Lagerschale im Wesentlichen durch die Vorspannung zwischen Schaftteil und Stützarm der Drehstabfeder innerhalb der Ausnehmung der Seitenwände des Haltergehäuses gehalten ist erfordert auch die Realisierung dieser Lagerung des Schaftteiles der Torsionsstabfeder keinen besonderen zusätzlichen Herstellungsaufwand des Türfeststellers.This object is achieved in that the torsion bar spring is supported with respect to its shaft part within the holder housing via a bearing shell made of self-supporting and maintenance-free bearing material, the bearing shell being held in its position within the holder housing in addition to mechanically acting holding means by a preselected preload between the shaft part and the support arm is. The bearing shell bridges the space between the two to support the shaft part of the Torsion bar spring forming side walls of the holder housing and is additionally protected against wandering in the axial direction by radially positioned ears resting on the outer surfaces of the side walls of the holder housing. This arrangement and design of the bearing shell results in a permanent, maintenance-free and friction-free support of the shaft part of the torsion spring that extends over the entire service life of the door arrester, which in turn guarantees a lasting freedom from noise. Based on the fact that the bearing shell is held essentially by the pretension between the shaft part and the support arm of the torsion bar within the recess of the side walls of the holder housing, the implementation of this mounting of the shaft part of the torsion bar spring does not require any special additional manufacturing outlay for the door arrester.

Eine zusätzliche Lagensicherung der Lagerschale kann ohne weiteren Herstellungsaufwand für den Türfeststeller dadurch erreicht werden, daß die Lagerschale über die radial zu ihrem Profilquerschnitt ausgestellten Ohren gleichzeitig auch in den Außenflächen der Seitenwandungen des Haltergehäuses verkrallt ist, was in einfachster Weise dadurch ermöglicht wird, daß die Ohren einen spitzwinkelig zur Längsachse der Lagerschale gerichteten Zuschnitt aufweisen.An additional securing of the position of the bearing shell can be achieved without further manufacturing effort for the door arrester in that the bearing shell is at the same time also clawed in the outer surfaces of the side walls of the holder housing via the radially flared ears, which is made possible in the simplest way that the ears have a cut directed at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the bearing shell.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Lagerschale wenigstens einen radial nach außen gerichteten Vorsprung aufweist, über den sie innerhalb des Haltergehäuses an dessen Querwandung gegen ein Wandern sowohl in Umfangs- als auch in Längrichtung gesichert festgelegt ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it can also be provided that the bearing shell has at least one radially outward projection by means of which it is secured within the holder housing on its transverse wall to prevent it from wandering in both the circumferential and longitudinal directions.

Dabei liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung, daß der radial nach außen gerichtete Vorsprung der Lagerschale durch wenigstens eine die Lagerschale bezüglich ihrer Längserstreckung und bezüglich ihres Querschnittsprofiles mittig angeordnete Warze gebildet ist.
In diesem Zusammenhang kann naturgemäß auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Lagerschale über mehrere radial zu ihrem Querschnittsprofil gerichtete radiale Vorsprünge oder Warzen gegen ein Wandern an einer Querwandung oder an den beiden Seitenwandungen des Haltergehäuses abgestützt ist.It is within the scope of the invention that the radially outward projection of the bearing shell is arranged centrally by at least one of the bearing shell with respect to its longitudinal extent and with respect to its cross-sectional profile Wart is formed.
In this context, it can of course also be provided that the bearing shell is supported against migration on a transverse wall or on the two side walls of the holder housing via a plurality of radial projections or warts directed radially to its cross-sectional profile.

Befestigungsflügeln 6 versehen, über welche es vermittels der Befestigungselemente 7 am entsprechenden Türanordnungsteil angeschlagen ist. Das aus einem Blechmaterialzuschnitt geformte Haltergehäuse 1 weist zueinander parallele Seitenwandungen 8 und eine teilweise Querwandung 9 auf und ist hinsichtlich seiner Seitenwandungen 8 mit Langlochausnehmungen 10 versehen, die von einer Drehstabfeder 11 durchgriffen sind. Die Drehstabfeder 11 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel im Wesentlichen S-förmig gebogen und liegt mit ihrem Schaftteil 12 am einen Ende und mit ihrem Stützarm 13 am anderen Ende der Langlochausnehmung 10 an. An ihrem freien Belastungsarm 14 trägt die Drehstabfeder 11 eine mit dem Rücken 5 der Türhaltestange zusammenwirkende Belastungsrolle 15, welche die Türhaltestange gegen eine um eine feststehende Achse 16 drehbar im Haltergehäuse 1 gelagerte Widerlagerrolle 17 drückt. In den zueinander deckungsgleichen Langlochausnehmungen 10 der beiden Seitenwandungen 8 des Haltergehäuses 1 ist der Schaftteil 12 der Drehstabfeder 11 unter Zwischenschaltung einer im Querschnitt U-förmigen Lagerschale 18 abgestützt. Die Lagerschale 18 ist in ihrer Position wenigstens teilweise durch die aus der vorgegebenen Winkelstellung von Schaftteil 12 und Stützarm 13 der Drehstabfeder 11 resultierende Vorspannung gehalten und besteht aus einem mit einer Teflonbeschichtung versehenen tragenden Metall-, insbesondere Stahlrücken und ist beidendig mit radial zu ihrem Profilquerschnitt abgestellten Ohren 19 versehen, die an den Außenflächen der beiden Seitenwandungen 8 des Haltergehäuses 1 anliegen und so die Lagerschale 18 zusätzlich gegen ein Wandern in axialer Richtung sichern.
