Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verriegelungsmechanik für Türen und Tore, insbesondere für Garagentore für ein oder zwei PKW, mit einem Schloß, insbesondere mit einem Drehgriff, einem von diesem aus einer Schließstellung in eine Öffnungsstellung bewegbaren Schloßriegel, wenigstens einem Verschlußriegel, der in den Boden und/oder in die Torzarge einzugreifen vermag, und drahtförmigen Verbindungselementen zwischen dem Schloßriegel und jedem Verschlußriegel, die die Verschlußriegel aus der Schließstellung in eine Freigabestellung zurückzubewegen vermögen, wobei die Verschlußriegel in der Schließstellung des Schloßriegels gegen Federkraft in ihre Öffnungsstellung zurückdrängbar sind.The invention relates to a locking mechanism for doors and gates, in particular for garage doors for one or two cars, with a lock, in particular with a turning handle, a lock bolt which can be moved therefrom from a closed position into an open position, at least one lock bolt which extends into the floor and / or can intervene in the door frame, and wire-shaped connecting elements between the lock bolt and each lock bolt, which are able to move the lock bolts back from the closed position into a release position, the lock bolts being able to be pushed back into their open position against spring force in the closed position of the lock bolt.

Bekannt sind Spezial-Schlösser für Tore, speziell Schwingtore und Decken-Sektionaltore, die einen ein- oder mehrteiligen Schloßriegel (Schub- und Hubriegel, Dreh- oder Schwenkriegel) aufweisen, mit denen ein Gestänge, Seile oder auch Bowdenzüge als Verbindungselemente zu den Verschlußriegeln verbunden werden können, um bekannte Riegelverschlüsse wie Hub- oder Drehriegel oder Schnapper mit Schiebe- oder Drehelementen zu bestätigen.There are known special locks for gates, especially up-and-over doors and overhead sectional doors, which have a one-piece or multi-part lock bolt (slide and lifting bolt, rotating or swivel bolt) with which a linkage, cables or Bowden cables are connected as connecting elements to the locking bolts can be used to confirm known bolt locks such as lifting or rotating bolts or snaps with sliding or rotating elements.

Die Vor- und Nachteile der Verriegelungsmechaniken mit Schubstangen, Zugseilen mit Umlenkrollen oder Bowdenzügen sind bekannt. Schubstangen erfordern spezielle Formgebungen, sind schlecht umlenkbar und aufwendig hinsichtlich Herstellung und Montage. Letzteres gilt auch für Stahlseile.The advantages and disadvantages of locking mechanisms with push rods, pull ropes with pulleys or Bowden cables are known. Push rods require special shapes, are difficult to deflect and are complex to manufacture and assemble. The latter also applies to steel cables.

Den bekannten Konstruktionen ist gemein, daß Federn oder federnde Einrichtungen zwischen dem Griff des Schlosses und dem Verschlußriegel im Schloß oder am Verschlußriegel, die z.B. als Schnapper mit eigener Feder ausgebildet sind, vorgesehen sind.The known constructions have in common that springs or resilient devices between the handle of the lock and the Locking bolts in the lock or on the locking bolt, which are designed, for example, as snaps with their own spring, are provided.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine weniger aufwendig herstellbare und montierbare Verriegelungsmechanik zu schaffen, die sich auch durch besondere Betriebssicherheit auszeichnet.The invention has for its object to provide a locking mechanism that is less complex to manufacture and assemble, which is also characterized by particular operational reliability.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung bei der eingangs genannten Verriegelungsmechanik vor, daß die Verbindungselemente wenigstens teilweise als weitgehend gerade gerichtete Stahldrähte mit einer Dicke von 1,5 bis 2,5 mm, ausgebildet und zwischen dem Schloßriegel und jedem Verschlußriegel geführt sind, aber nur so weit, daß sie beim Zurückdrängen der Verschlußriegel aus der Schließstellung seitlich federnd ausweichen und eine Rückstellkraft auf die Verschlußriegel aufzubringen vermögen.To achieve this object, the invention provides in the locking mechanism mentioned at the outset that the connecting elements are at least partially formed as largely straight steel wires with a thickness of 1.5 to 2.5 mm, and are guided between the lock bolt and each lock bolt, but only so far that they spring out laterally when pushing back the locking bar from the closed position and are able to apply a restoring force to the locking bar.

Als neues Verbindungs- bzw. Kraftübertragungselement dient anstelle eines Gestänges, herkömmlicher Seile oder Bowdenzüge ein weitestgehend gerade gerichteter federnder Stahldraht (- im Gegensatz zum leicht plastisch bzw. bleibende verformbaren Eisendraht -) mit einer Dicke von 1,5 bis 2,5 mm. Der Stahldraht kann auch etwas gehärtet sein oder aus Federstahl bestehen, um seitlich elastisch auslenkbar zu sein. Seine Dicke ist so zu wählen, daß die Betätigung der Schließanlage leicht von Hand ohne zu große Schwergängigkeit möglich ist.Instead of a rod, conventional ropes or Bowden cables, a largely straight spring steel wire (- in contrast to the slightly plastic or permanent deformable iron wire -) with a thickness of 1.5 to 2.5 mm serves as the new connecting or power transmission element. The steel wire can also be somewhat hardened or made of spring steel in order to be laterally elastically deflectable. Its thickness should be chosen so that the locking system can be easily operated by hand without too much difficulty.

Wenigstens einer der Verschlußriegel kann beieiander mehrere Schließriegel aufweisen, die jeweils einzeln mittels eines Stahldrahts mit dem Schloßriegel des Schlosses verbunden sind. Die Stahldrähte dieser Schließriegel können in einem weiten Rohr oder Schlauch geführt sein, in denen die zwei, drei oder vier Stahldrähte so geführt sind, daß sie zur Seite hin unbehindert ausweichen können. Diese Ausbildung erhöht die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Einrastens von Schließriegeln bei Verschmutzung der Schließplatte oder -öffnung, in die die Riegel eindringen sollen, oder beim Klemmen in der Verschiebeführung im Verschlußriegelgehäuse, das die mehreren Schließriegel aufnimmt.At least one of the locking bolts can have several locking bolts, which are each individually connected to the lock bolt of the lock by means of a steel wire. The steel wires of these locking bolts can be guided in a wide tube or hose, in which the two, three or four steel wires are guided so that they can move freely to the side. This design increases the likelihood of locking bolts latching into the locking plate or opening into which the bolts are contaminated should penetrate, or when clamping in the sliding guide in the locking bolt housing that receives the multiple locking bolts.

Durch Verwendung des Stahldrahtes als Hub- und Zugelement für die Verschlußriegel und jeden Schloßriegel wird das notwendige Federelement in der Verriegelungsmechanik in den elastisch zur Seite ausweichbar geführten Stahldraht gelegt, der dann vorzugsweise bis zum Verschluß- bzw. Schließriegel reicht, so daß am Verschlußriegel keine Feder oder dergleichen vorgesehen werden. Auch im Schloß kann eine Rückstellfeder für den Schloßriegel entfallen.By using the steel wire as a lifting and pulling element for the locking bolt and each locking bolt, the necessary spring element is placed in the locking mechanism in the steel wire, which can be deflected elastically to the side, which then preferably extends to the locking or locking bolt, so that there is no spring on the locking bolt or the like can be provided. A return spring for the lock bolt can also be omitted in the lock.

1 bis 8 Stahldrähte lassen sich mittels eines kleinen gestanzten Befestigungselementes an dem Hub- und Zugriegel des Schlosses verstellbar, z.B. an mehreren Stellen einhakbar oder, wenn am Ende der Stahldrähte Ösen vorgesehen sind, einhängbar, anbringen. Jeder der Stahldrähte kann einen Verschlußriegel betätigen. Auf diese Weise kann mit einem üblichen Schloß eine acht-fache Torverriegelung, d.h. an acht Stellen, verwirklicht werden, ohne daß die Betätigung zu schwergängig ist, wie bei Verwendung von Bowdenzügen. Da die Stahldrähte selbst als Federn wirken, entfällt zweckmäßigerweise auch die übliche Feder im Schloß und im Verschlußriegel, gegen die geöffnet wird. Dadurch ist die nötige Betätigungsenergie sehr gering.1 to 8 steel wires can be adjusted by means of a small punched fastening element on the lifting and pulling bolt of the lock, e.g. Can be hooked in at several places or, if eyelets are provided at the end of the steel wires, can be attached. Each of the steel wires can operate a locking latch. In this way, an eight-fold gate lock, i.e. in eight places, without the operation being too stiff, as when using Bowden cables. Since the steel wires themselves act as springs, it is also expedient to dispense with the usual spring in the lock and in the locking bolt against which the spring is opened. As a result, the required actuation energy is very low.

Der gerade Stahldraht kann problemlos um 2 bis 3 Ecken in entsprechende Bogen ohne zusätzliche Elemente, wie Rollen- oder Winkelhebel zum Verschlußriegel gelenkt werden, wobei der oder die Drähte lediglich zur Richtungsänderung einen Bogen beschreiben, um dann gerade weiterzulaufen. Dadurch sind Herstellung und Montage erleichtert.The straight steel wire can easily be steered around 2 to 3 corners into corresponding bends without additional elements, such as roller or angle levers, to the locking bar, the wire or wires only describing an arc to change the direction and then continue to run straight. This makes production and assembly easier.

Die Stahldrähte sind problemlos in der Lage, die Bewegungen des Schloßriegels ziehend an die Verschluß- bzw. Schließriegel weiterzuleiten, weil sie in der Schließstellung der Tür oder des Tors etwa gestreckt sind. Die Bewegung des Schloß- bzw.The steel wires are easily able to pull the movements of the lock bolt forward to the locking or locking bolts because they are stretched in the closed position of the door or gate. The movement of the lock or

Schließriegels an der Verbindungsstelle zum Stahldraht beträgt üblicherweise etwa 1 bis 3 cm. Das reicht für eine sichere Betätigung der Verschlußriegel in die Öffnungsstellung.The locking bolt at the connection point to the steel wire is usually about 1 to 3 cm. This is enough for a safe actuation of the locking latch in the open position.

Vorzugsweise werden die Drähte, wenigstens teilweise, in einem Hohlprofil des Torflügels untergebracht. Es ist zweckmäßig, bei mehreren Drähten zu verschiedenen Verschlußriegeln oder -schnappern diese vom Schloß bis zur Einführung in ein Hohlprofil des Tores, dort wo sie parallel zueinander verlaufen, in einem dünnen Metall- oder Plastikrohr zusammenzuhalten.The wires are preferably accommodated, at least partially, in a hollow profile of the gate wing. It is advisable to hold together in a thin metal or plastic tube in the case of several wires to different locking latches or snaps, from the lock to the insertion into a hollow profile of the door, where they run parallel to one another.

Auf diese Weise werden die Stahldrähte gezwungen, bis sie eine andere Bewegungsrichtung einnehmen, im Führungsrohr einem geraden Weg zu folgen, wodurch die Rückfederkraft der Drähte auf den Teil ihrer Längserstreckung beschränkt wird, der unmittelbar vor den Verschlußriegeln liegt. Hierdurch und durch die im übrigen vorgesehenen Führungen, z.B. Ösen, wird die seitliche elastische Auslenkung im wesentlichen auf den Bereich vor den Verschlußriegeln beschränkt. Dieser kann typischerweise 30 bis 50 cm lang sein.In this way, the steel wires are forced to follow a straight path in the guide tube until they take a different direction of movement, as a result of which the spring-back force of the wires is limited to the part of their longitudinal extent which lies immediately in front of the locking latches. In this way and through the guides provided for the rest, e.g. Eyelets, the lateral elastic deflection is essentially limited to the area in front of the locking bars. This can typically be 30 to 50 cm long.

Beim Entriegeln des Tores, insbesondere durch Drehung des Schloßhandgriffs, werden die Stahldrähte durch den Schloßriegel zurückgezogen und die Verschlußriegel entriegelt bzw. in die Freigabestellung bewegt und dabei eine seitliche Restauslenkung der Stahldrähte aufgehoben.When the gate is unlocked, in particular by rotating the lock handle, the steel wires are retracted by the lock bolt and the locking bolts are unlocked or moved into the release position, thereby eliminating any lateral deflection of the steel wires.

Bei elektrischer Torbetätigung, z.B. beim Öffnen des Tores, durch einen Torantrieb wird der Schloßriegel an dem die Stahldrähte befestigt sind, ebenfalls angehoben und die Stahldrähte zurückgezogen. Die Verschlußriegel geben das Tor frei.With electrical gate actuation, e.g. when the door is opened by a door drive, the lock bolt to which the steel wires are attached is also raised and the steel wires are retracted. The locking bolts release the gate.

Beim Schließen des Tors wird jeder Verschluß- bzw. Schließriegel durch eine schräge Auflauffläche in bekannter Weise zurückgeschoben oder zurückgeschwenkt. Durch dieses Zurückschieben oder Zurückschwenken wird der Stahldraht durch Verkürzung des Weges zum Schloß bzw. zur ersten Führung gekrümmt. Aufgrund dieser erzwungenen seitlichen Auslenkung des Stahldrahtes wird eine elastische Federspannung erzeugt, die dafür sorgt, daß der oder die Verschluß- und/oder Schließriegel beim Schließen des Tores in die Verschlußraste durch die Federspannung des oder der Stahldrähte einrastet und dort unter geringer Spannung verweilt bis ausgehend vom Schloß eine neue Öffnungsbewegung eingeleitet wird. Währenddessen wird kein Element des Schlosses bewegt.When the gate closes, each locking or closing bolt is pushed back or pivoted back in a known manner by means of an inclined ramp surface. As a result of this pushing back or swiveling back, the steel wire is curved by shortening the path to the lock or to the first guide. Because of This forced lateral deflection of the steel wire produces an elastic spring tension, which ensures that the locking latch and / or locking latch or latches into the locking latch when the door closes due to the spring tension of the steel wire (s) and remains there under low tension until starting from Lock a new opening movement is initiated. No element of the lock is moved during this time.

Der Stahldraht bildet vom Schloßriegel bzw. einer an ihm angebrachten starren (Schub-)Stange od. dgl. bis zum Verschlußbzw. Schließriegel eine einstückige Verbindung, die in der Lage ist, ähnlich einem Bowdenzug um ein oder zwei Ecken problemlos geführt zu werden, die aber nicht nur diesen Weg beschreibt, sondern im Gegensatz zu Bowdenzügen, Schubstangen oder Seilen eine Federwirkung für das Schloß und die Verschlußriegel übernimmt.The steel wire forms from the lock bolt or a rigid (push) rod or the like attached to it up to the closure or. Lockbolt is a one-piece connection that is able to be routed around a corner or two without problems, similar to a Bowden cable, but which not only describes this route, but, unlike Bowden cables, push rods or cables, assumes a spring effect for the lock and the locking bolts .

Durch die wenigstens teilweise Verwendung des Stahldrahtes anstelle einer Schubstange, eines Bowdenzuges oder eines Seiles sind weder Langlöcher, wie z.B. bei Schubstangen, noch zusätzliche Federn im Schub- oder Schwenkverschlußriegel (Schnapper) oder Umlenkelemente oder Seilrollen, die aus einer vertikalen eine horizontale Bewegung erzeugen, nötig.Due to the at least partial use of the steel wire instead of a push rod, a Bowden cable or a rope, neither elongated holes, e.g. in the case of push rods, additional springs in the push or swivel lock latch (snap) or deflection elements or rope pulleys, which produce a horizontal movement from a vertical, are necessary.

Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht durch die Verwendung von Stahldrähten zur Kraftübertragung darin, daß man z.B. bei einem Sektional-Tor den elastischen Stahldraht problemlos über die beweglichen Sektionskanten zu Verschlußriegeln an beliebigen Stellen führen kann. Gleiches gilt für bekannte Schiebefalttore.Another advantage of using steel wires for power transmission is that e.g. in the case of a sectional gate, the elastic steel wire can easily lead to locking bolts at any point via the movable section edges. The same applies to known sliding folding gates.

Vorteilhaft ist ebenfalls, daß die Unterbringung des Stahldrahtes in einem Hohlprofil, insbesondere zu einer Seite hin offenen Hohlprofil, eines Torelementes erfolgen kann, in das der Stahldraht durch eine kleine Bohrung eingeführt werden kann. Im Profil können die für einen störungsfreien Betrieb erforderlichen Führungen oder Zwischenabstützungen untergebracht sein.It is also advantageous that the steel wire can be accommodated in a hollow profile, in particular a hollow profile open to one side, of a gate element into which the steel wire can be inserted through a small hole. in the Profiles or the intermediate supports required for trouble-free operation can be accommodated.

Die Einstellung eines einzelnen Verschlußriegels oder -schnappers geschieht beispielsweise durch Einstecken des Stahldrahtes mit einer hakenförmigen Abbiegung in eine Bohrung oder mit einer Öse über einen Stift an dem Riegel oder der Stange des Schlosses. Durch mehrere versetze Bohrungen ist eine Feineinstellmöglichkeit, die nur im Bereich weniger Millimeter liegt, gegeben. Solche Feineinstellungen sind problemlos möglich, da jeder einzelne Stahldraht eines Verschlußriegels einzeln am Schloßriegel oder dessen Stange in bekannter Weise befestigbar ist. Er kann auch festgeklemmt werden. Durch die Federwirkung des Stahldrahtes wird dieser während des Einstellens ohne zusätzliche Halterung auch bei ausgebauter Schloßfeder festgehalten.The setting of a single locking bolt or snap is done, for example, by inserting the steel wire with a hook-shaped bend in a hole or with an eyelet via a pin on the bolt or the rod of the lock. Through several offset bores there is a fine adjustment, which is only in the range of a few millimeters. Such fine adjustments are possible without any problems, since each individual steel wire of a locking bolt can be fastened individually to the lock bolt or its rod in a known manner. It can also be clamped. Due to the spring action of the steel wire, it is held in place during adjustment without an additional holder, even when the lock spring is removed.

Schließlich ist von Vorteil, daß der gerichtete Stahldraht keine Nippel, Gewinde, Bohrungen, Langlöcher, Schrauben, Zapfen, Bolzen, Schutzspiralen oder -schläuche für die Befestigung und die Führung benötigt. Die Stahldrähte brauchen nur an einem Ende ca. 5 bis 7 mm lang um 90° gekröpft zu werden. Diese Kröpfungen im rechten Winkel reichen in eine Bohrung der Schwenk-, Schub- und Hubriegel des Schlosses und dienen als bewegliche, schwenkbare Verbindung zwischen Stahldraht und Riegel. Zweckmäßigerweise sind sie mit einer Abdeckung in ihrer Lage gehalten.Finally, it is advantageous that the straightened steel wire does not require any nipples, threads, bores, elongated holes, screws, pins, bolts, protective spirals or hoses for fastening and guiding. The steel wires only need to be cranked by 90 ° at one end approx. 5 to 7 mm long. These offsets at right angles extend into a hole in the swivel, slide and lifting bolts of the lock and serve as a movable, swiveling connection between steel wire and bolt. Conveniently, they are held in place with a cover.

Der gleiche Mechanismus kann an einem Schubriegel eines üblichen Zimmertürschlosses angewendet werden.The same mechanism can be applied to a slide bolt of a common room door lock.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert, in der zeigt

  • Fig. 1 ein Schwingtor mit üblichem Schloß mit Drehhandgriff und mit Verschlußschnappern, und
  • Fig. 2 einen Verschlußriegel mit drei Schließriegeln.
An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to a drawing, in which shows
  • Fig. 1 is a swing gate with a conventional lock with a rotating handle and with snap locks, and
  • Fig. 2 shows a locking bolt with three locking bolts.

Ein Torflügel hat ein übliches Schwingtor-Schloß 6 mit einem als Hub- und Schubriegel ausgebildeten Schloßriegel 13, an dem schematisch 5 gerichtete Stahldrähte 9, 10 und 11 von 1,5 bis 2,5 mm Durchmesser eingehakt oder gegebenenfalls eingeklemmt sind. Der mittlere gerichtete und gehärtete Stahldraht 11 reicht senkrecht zu einem Verschlußriegel in eine Öffnung eines Bodenprofils bei 5. Zwei weitere Stahldrähte 10 betätigen links und rechts je einen Verschlußriegel in Bodennähe bei 3 und 4. Die zwei weiteren Stahldrähte 9 führen an das obere Sturzprofil des Torblattrahmens 12, um dort zwei weitere Verschlußriegel bei 1 und 2 zu betätigen.A gate wing has a conventional swing gate lock 6 with a lock bolt 13 designed as a lifting and sliding bolt, on which 5 directional steel wires 9, 10 and 11 of 1.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter are hooked or optionally clamped. The middle straightened and hardened steel wire 11 extends perpendicular to a locking bar into an opening of a floor profile at 5. Two further steel wires 10 actuate a locking bar near the floor at 3 and 4 on the left and right. The two further steel wires 9 lead to the upper lintel profile of the door leaf frame 12 in order to actuate two further locking bolts at 1 and 2.

Die Stahldrähte sind im Abstand mehrerer Dezimeter durch Führungen 7 an der Innenseite des Torflügelrahmens abgestützt. Vom Zug- und -Hubriegel des Schlosses bis zum Bodenprofil sind alle 5 Stahldrähte in einem kurzen Rohr 8 zusammengefaßt, das sich bei der Betätigung mit den Stahldrähten auf- und abbewegt. Sie müssen daher in dem kurzen Rohr 8 keinerlei Bewegung vollbringen, da sie mit dem Rohr höchstens 20, bei bestimmten Schlössern bis zu 30 mm bewegt werden.The steel wires are supported at intervals of several decimeters by guides 7 on the inside of the gate frame. From the tension and lifting bolts of the lock to the floor profile, all 5 steel wires are combined in a short tube 8, which moves up and down when actuated with the steel wires. You therefore do not have to make any movement in the short tube 8, since they are moved with the tube at most 20, with certain locks up to 30 mm.

Selbstverständlich können auch andere Schlösser verwendet werden, die Zug- und Hubriegel nach der Seite, z.B. nach links oder rechts, oder nach oben aufweisen. Auch Schlösser mit aufgesetzten Schwenkhebeln oder Drehscheiben können verwendet werden.Of course, other locks can also be used, the drawbars and lifting bolts to the side, e.g. to the left or right, or upwards. Locks with attached swivel levers or turntables can also be used.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Verschlußriegel 20 dargestellt, der nebeneinander drei Schließriegel 21.1, 21.2 und 21.3 in einem kubischen Gehäuse 22 aus einer vorderen Schließstellung in eine hintere Öffnungsstellung gegen Anschlagstifte 23 zurückziehbar verschieblich gelagert sind. Jeder Schließriegel ist einzeln mit einem Stahldraht 24.1, 24.2 bzw. 24.3 verbunden, der lose in einem weiten Kunststoffschlauch 25 geführt ist und in Besfestigungsösen 26 endet. Die Schließriegel werden gemeinsam über die Stahldrähte zum Entriegeln des Tores zurückgezogen, können aber beim Schließen unabhängig voneinander einrasten. Auch wenn ein Schließriegel aus iregend einem Grund nicht einrasten kann, z.B. wegen Schmutz, Eis oder zu hoher Reibung im Gehäuse, können die anderen, nicht behinderten Schließriegel (bzw. -zungen) einrasten. Durch mehrere Schließriegel je Verschlußriegel ist die Überwindung durch Unberechtigte weiter erschwert. Auch nicht dargestellte Hemmstifte können die Schließriegel, z. B. bei längerer Abwesenheit, gegen Zurückschieben gesichert werden.In Fig. 2, a locking bolt 20 is shown, the three locking bolts 21.1, 21.2 and 21.3 side by side in a cubic housing 22 from a front closed position to a rear Open position against stop pins 23 are retractably mounted. Each locking bolt is individually connected to a steel wire 24.1, 24.2 or 24.3, which is loosely guided in a wide plastic tube 25 and ends in fastening eyes 26. The locking bolts are pulled back together via the steel wires to unlock the door, but can lock independently when closed. Even if one locking bolt cannot snap into place for any reason, e.g. due to dirt, ice or excessive friction in the housing, the other locking bolts (or tongues) that are not disabled can snap into place. Overcoming by unauthorized persons is further complicated by several locking bolts per locking bolt. Also locking pins, not shown, the locking bolt, for. B. in the event of a long absence, secured against pushing back.

Die Ösen können direkt auf Stifte am Schloßriegel oder - wenn sich an den Schloßriegel zunächst eine Schubstange anschließt - auf Stifte an deren Ende aufgesteckt werden. Die Stahldrähte 24 sollten eine Länge von wenigstens etwa 10 - 30 cm haben und bis an die Schließriegel 21 reichen, damit sie elastisch ausreichend zur Seite für die Erzeugung einer ausreichenden Rückstellkraft ausgelenkt werden können, ohne sich plastisch zu verformen, z. B. zu Knicken.The eyelets can be attached directly to pins on the lock bolt or - if a push rod is connected to the lock bolt - to pins at the end. The steel wires 24 should have a length of at least about 10-30 cm and should extend to the locking bolts 21 so that they can be sufficiently deflected sideways to generate a sufficient restoring force without plastically deforming, e.g. B. to kink.

In der vorderen End- bzw. Schließstellung liegen die Schließriegel 21 mit einem hinteren Stift 27 an einer Querwand 28 des Gehäuses 22 an, die sie ebenso führt, wie eine Vorderwand 29 des Gehäuses 22.In the front end or closed position, the locking bolts 21 rest with a rear pin 27 on a transverse wall 28 of the housing 22, which guides them as well as a front wall 29 of the housing 22.
