Abstract

To provide an emergency exit for especially armoured motor vehicles, an explosive element (23, 24) is accommodated in a structural part connecting a vehicle door to the vehicle frame. The structural part can be the pin (12) of the door hinge or a threaded bolt fixing the hinge to the door or to the vehicle frame. <IMAGE>

Description

Bei Kraftfahrzeugen, insbesondere bei gepanzerten Personenkraftwagen, besteht die Gefahr, daß die Insassen nach einem Unfall das Fahrzeug nicht verlassen können, weil sich die Türen nicht mehr öffnen lassen.In motor vehicles, especially in armored passenger cars, there is a risk that the occupants cannot leave the vehicle after an accident because the doors can no longer be opened.

Aus DE 37 35 133 A1 ist eine Notausstiegsvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt, die ein im Randbereich der Front- oder Heck-Fensterscheibe angeordnetes Sprengband vorsieht. Durch Zündung des Sprengbandes wird die Fensterscheibe teilweise aus ihrem Rahmen gelöst, so daß sie sich relativ leicht nach außen drücken läßt.DE 37 35 133 A1 discloses an emergency exit device according to the preamble of claim 1, which provides an explosive tape arranged in the edge region of the front or rear window pane. By firing the explosive tape, the window pane is partially released from its frame, so that it can be pressed outward relatively easily.

Allerdings stellt die Öffnung der Front- oder Heckscheibe wegen ihrer Lage und ihrer verhältnismäßig geringen Höhe eine wenig geeignete Ausstiegsöffnung dar, die vor allem für beleibte und unsportliche Personen kaum passierbar ist. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Heckscheibe. Andererseits ist die Öffnung der Frontscheibe als Notausstieg deshalb besonders ungeeignet, weil sie gerade in Unfallsituationen häufig nicht mehr zugänglich ist.However, because of its position and its relatively low height, the opening of the front or rear window is an unsuitable exit opening, which is difficult to pass, especially for obese and unsporting people. This applies in particular to the rear window. On the other hand, opening the front screen as an emergency exit is particularly unsuitable because it is often no longer accessible, especially in accident situations.

Eine weitere Schwierigkeit der bekannten Vorrichtung besteht darin, daß das Sprengband eine verhältnismäßig große Länge haben muß, um die Fensterscheibe längs wenigstens einer Kante freizugeben. Außerdem liegt das Sprengband zwischen der Fensterscheibe und einem äußeren Abdeckrahmen, der bei der Explosion splittern und Personen außerhalb des Fahrzeugs verletzen kann.Another difficulty of the known device is that the explosive tape must have a relatively large length in order to release the window pane along at least one edge. In addition, the explosive tape lies between the window pane and an outer cover frame, which can splinter in the event of an explosion and injure people outside the vehicle.

Ein erheblicher Nachteil der bekannten Vorrichtung ist schließlich darin zu sehen, daß das verwendete Sprengelement unter das Sprengstoffgesetz fällt, das für die mit Lagerung, Transport und Handhabung befaßten Personen eine spezielle Zulassung vorsieht. In aller Regel verfügen aber weder Fahrer noch Mechaniker, die solche Scheiben gelegentlich zu wechseln haben, über eine solche Zulassung. Die Vorrichtung nach dem Stand der Technik ist daher vom Einbau, Ausbau und der Entsorgung her wie auch beim Betrieb des Fahrzeugs - auch im Ausland - problematisch und zumeist nicht konform mit dem Sprengstoffgesetz.Finally, a significant disadvantage of the known device can be seen in the fact that the explosive element used falls under the Explosives Act, which provides for special authorization for persons involved in storage, transport and handling. As a rule, however, neither drivers nor mechanics, who occasionally have to change such discs, have such approval. The device according to the prior art is therefore problematic in terms of installation, removal and disposal, as well as when operating the vehicle - also abroad - and mostly does not comply with the Explosives Act.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Notausstiegsvorrichtung für Kraftfahrzeuge anzugeben, die den Fahrzeuginsassen im Notfall einen leichter zugänglichen Ausstieg verschafft und die in sich keine Gefahrenquelle darstellt.The invention is based on the object of specifying an emergency exit device for motor vehicles which provides the vehicle occupants with a more easily accessible exit in an emergency and which does not constitute a source of danger in itself.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet. Die Anordnung des Sprengelementes im Bereich einer Fahrzeugtür bedeutet, daß die übliche Türöffnung auch als Notausstieg herangezogen wird. Die Unterbringung des Sprengelementes in einem die Fahrzeugtür mit dem Rahmen verbindenden Bauteil bedeutet ferner, daß die Sprengsubstanz von einem schützenden Bauteil umgeben und dieses selbst in einem nach innen und außen normalerweise weitgehend geschlossenen Bereich angeordnet ist.The solution to this problem according to the invention is characterized in claim 1. The arrangement of the explosive element in the area of a vehicle door means that the usual door opening is also used as an emergency exit. The accommodation of the explosive element in a connecting the vehicle door to the frame Component also means that the explosive is surrounded by a protective component and this is arranged even in a region that is normally largely closed inwards and outwards.

Aus US-A-3,486,410 ist es zwar bekannt, eine Sprengschnur in einem Rohr unterzubringen und zur Bildung einer Notausstiegsöffnung zu verwenden; dort wird die Öffnung durch Heraustrennen eines Wandelements längs einer Linie verringerten Querschnitts gebildet, wobei die Sprengschnur um den gesamten Umfang der zu bildenden Öffnung verläuft. Weiterhin ist es aus der US-A-3,352,189 bekannt, verschiedene Bauelemente mit Hilfe von Bolzen an einer Struktur zu befestigen und diese Bolzen mit Sprengstoff gefüllten Innenräumen sowie mit Sollbruchstellen zu versehen, so daß die Bauelemente bei Bedarf von der Struktur durch Zünden der Sprengladungen innerhalb der Bolzen abgetrennt werden können. Für den Einsatz in gepanzerten Personenkraftwagen bildet eine solche Art der Befestigung im Falle der Zündung eine außerordentlich hohe Gefahr für die Insassen und ist deshalb zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe untauglich.From US-A-3,486,410 it is known to accommodate an explosive cord in a pipe and to use it to form an emergency exit opening; there the opening is formed by cutting out a wall element along a line of reduced cross-section, the detonating cord running around the entire circumference of the opening to be formed. Furthermore, it is known from US-A-3,352,189 to fasten various components to a structure with the aid of bolts and to provide these bolts with explosive-filled interiors and with predetermined breaking points, so that the components are detached from the structure if necessary by detonating the explosive charges inside the bolt can be separated. For use in armored passenger cars, such a type of attachment in the event of ignition constitutes an extremely high risk for the occupants and is therefore unsuitable for solving the task at hand.

Die in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichneten Maßnahmen sind insofern von Vorteil, als sie keine nennenswerten Konstruktionsänderungen am Fahrzeug selbst erfordern und/oder den Einsatz an sich bekannter pyrotechnischer Bauelemente gestatten.The measures characterized in the subclaims are advantageous in that they do not require any significant design changes to the vehicle itself and / or allow the use of pyrotechnic components known per se.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawing. In it shows
Figure 1
a partial representation of a hinge for a motor vehicle door, partly in section along the axis of the hinge pin, to illustrate a first embodiment of the invention, and
Figure 2
a cross section through a screwed to a motor vehicle frame wing of a door hinge, cut transversely to the axis of the hinge pin, to illustrate a second embodiment.

Von dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Scharnier ist der rechte Flügel 10 beispielsweise am Kraftfahrzeugrahmen und der linke Flügel 11 an der Kraftfahrzeugtür in herkömmlicher Weise befestigt. Der Scharnierstift 12 besteht aus zwei in Richtung der Scharnierachse relativ zueinander verschiebbaren Teilen 13 und 14, von denen der untere Teil 13 in einer mit dem rechten Flügel 10 verbundenen Scharnierhülse 15 steckt, während der obere Teil 14 in einer mit dem linken Scharnierflügel 11 verbundenen Scharnierhülse 16 drehbar gelagert ist.Of the hinge shown in Figure 1, the right wing 10 is, for example, attached to the motor vehicle frame and the left wing 11 to the motor vehicle door in a conventional manner. The hinge pin 12 consists of two parts 13 and 14 which are displaceable relative to one another in the direction of the hinge axis, of which the lower part 13 is inserted in a hinge sleeve 15 connected to the right wing 10, while the upper part 14 in a hinge sleeve connected to the left hinge wing 11 16 is rotatably mounted.

Der untere Teil 13 ist als Hohlzylinder gestaltet. Der obere Teil 14 umfaßt einen massiven Kopf 17, einen in dem unteren zylindrischen Teil 13 verschiebbaren Kolben 18 und eine den Kopf 17 mit dem Kolben 18 verbindende Stange 19, die eine mit einer (nicht gezeigten) Dichtung versehene Bohrung 20 in der dem Kopf 17 zugewandten Stirnwand 21 des unteren zylindrischen Teils 13 durchsetzt. Im Normalzustand sind die Scharnierstiftteile 13 und 14 durch einen Sicherungsstift 22 in ihrer relativen Lage zueinander fixiert, der die Umfangswand des unteren Teils 13 durchsetzt und am Kolben 18 angreift.The lower part 13 is designed as a hollow cylinder. The upper part 14 comprises a solid head 17, a piston 18 which is displaceable in the lower cylindrical part 13 and a rod 19 which connects the head 17 to the piston 18 and which has a bore 20 (not shown) provided in the head 17 with a seal (not shown) facing end wall 21 of the lower cylindrical part 13 passes through. In the normal state, the hinge pin parts 13 and 14 are fixed in their relative position to one another by a locking pin 22 which passes through the peripheral wall of the lower part 13 and engages the piston 18.

In der zwischen der Stirnwand 21 und dem Kolben 18 gebildeten Kammer ist ein Sprengelement untergebracht, das aus dem eigentlichen Sprengsatz 23 und einer Zündpille 24 besteht. Die Zündpille 24 wird elektrisch aktiviert und ist zu diesem Zweck über die zylindrische Umfangswand des Teils 13 und die Hülse 15 durchsetzende Zuleitungen mit einem (nicht gezeigten) Schalter und einer (ebenfalls nicht gezeigten) Stromquelle verbunden.In the chamber formed between the end wall 21 and the piston 18, an explosive element is accommodated, which consists of the actual explosive device 23 and a squib 24. The squib 24 is electrically activated and for this purpose is connected to a switch (not shown) and a current source (also not shown) via the leads passing through the cylindrical peripheral wall of the part 13 and the sleeve 15.

Wird das Sprengelement gezündet, so dehnt es sich schlagartig aus, wodurch der Kolben 18 innerhalb des zylindrischen unteren Teils 13 nach unten verschoben wird, so daß der Kopf 17 des oberen Teils 14 die Scharnierhülse 16 nach unten verläßt und dadurch die beiden Scharnierflügel 10 und 11 voneinander getrennt werden.If the detonating element is detonated, it expands abruptly, as a result of which the piston 18 is displaced downward within the cylindrical lower part 13, so that the head 17 of the upper part 14 leaves the hinge sleeve 16 downward and thereby the two hinge wings 10 and 11 be separated from each other.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 2 ist der Scharnierflügel 30 am Fahrzeugrahmen 31 mittels Gewindebolzen 32 befestigt, die jeweils eine innere Kammer 33 zur Aufnahme eines wiederum aus einem Sprengsatz 23 und einer Zündpille 24 bestehenden Sprengelementes aufweist. Die elektrischen Zuleitungen 25 zu der Zündpille 24 sind in diesem Fall durch den Kopf 34 des Gewindebolzens 32 herausgeführt.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the hinge wing 30 is fastened to the vehicle frame 31 by means of threaded bolts 32, each of which has an inner chamber 33 for receiving an explosive element, which in turn consists of an explosive device 23 and a squib 24. The electrical leads 25 to the squib 24 are in this case led out through the head 34 of the threaded bolt 32.

Beim Zünden des Sprengelements wird der Gewindebolzen 32 in dem Bereich 35 zerstört, der an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen dem Scharnierflügel 30 und dem Fahrzeugrahmen 31 liegt. Damit sich der detonierende Gewindebolzen zum Bruch ausdehnen kann, sind der Scharnierflügel 30 und der Fahrzeugrahmen 31 in diesem Bereich mit Aussparungen 36 versehen.When the detonating element is ignited, the threaded bolt 32 is destroyed in the region 35 which lies at the connection point between the hinge wing 30 and the vehicle frame 31. So that the detonating threaded bolt can expand to break, the hinge wing 30 and the vehicle frame 31 are in this area with recesses 36.

Als weiteres (nicht dargestelltes) Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist es auch möglich, einen Scharnierbolzen zu verwenden, der im Gegensatz zu Figur 1 als einstückiges Bauteil mit einer inneren Kammer zur Aufnahme des Sprengelements ähnlich dem Gewindebolzen nach Figur 2 gestaltet ist.As a further (not shown) exemplary embodiment of the invention, it is also possible to use a hinge bolt which, in contrast to FIG. 1, is designed as a one-piece component with an inner chamber for receiving the detonating element, similar to the threaded bolt according to FIG.

Außer den Scharnieren ist zwischen Tür und Rahmen eines Kraftfahrzeugs gewöhnlich noch ein Feststeller vorhanden, der ähnlich wie oben über einen sprengbaren Scharnierstift oder Gewindebolzen an der Tür oder am Rahmen befestigt sein kann, um eine vollständige Freigabe der Tür an dieser Seite zu gewährleisten.In addition to the hinges, a lock is usually present between the door and frame of a motor vehicle, which, similarly to the above, can be fastened to the door or to the frame via a detachable hinge pin or threaded bolt, in order to ensure that the door is fully released on this side.
