Definitions

  • the invention relates to a snap lock device as a concealed additional lock, in particular a central lock for sashes of windows, doors or the like, which is movably mounted on a frame on a hinge axis located at or near a boundary edge.
  • the object of the invention is in particular a snap lock device with a bolt latch held in place by a spring and non-rotatably but axially displaceably guided in a housing and with a locking element which forms the counter bearing for the bolt latch.
  • sashes of windows, doors or the like which are movably mounted on a frame around a hinge axis located at or near a boundary edge
  • a closure part fastened on the wing side and a closure part fastened on the frame side engage behind each other with wedges fixed or rigidly mounted thereon when the wing is pivoted into the closed position (cf. DE 24 49 176 B and DE 28 45 938 A1).
  • the interacting functional parts are each rigidly attached to the peripheral circumferential surface of the sash and frame and designed so that they the distance between these - the so-called rebate air area - fill in or bridge completely and can reach behind each other in sections.
  • the invention therefore aims to remedy these shortcomings. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an additional lock, in particular a central lock for windows, doors or the like, in which the sash is mounted on the frame and thereby movable (rotatable, tiltable or foldable) about a hinge axis located at or near a boundary edge there is the possibility of a change in the distance of its fold peripheral surfaces from the fold peripheral surfaces of the frame due to intentional or unwanted wing displacements. It is important that the changes occurring in the clearance of the clearance air from the additional lock, in particular the central lock, are compensated completely automatically or automatically and thus permanently and reliably.
  • the invention uses as a concealed additional lock, in particular a central lock, therefore a snap lock device with a spring latch that is held in a housing under tension, rotatably but axially displaceably guided, and with a latching element, which forms the counter bearing for the latch bolt.
  • this snap lock device is particularly characterized in that the locking latch is mounted in a housing pot seated in the rebate peripheral surface of the wing, that the locking latch interacts with the locking element attached to the frame via an arc tangent to the wing hinge axis and oblique or wedge surfaces that the bolt latch is also designed like a pot at its end guided in the housing pot, in order to form a receptacle there for the spring supported in the housing pot on the bottom.
  • a snap-lock device with these features is that only a slightly larger installation space is required for accommodating their functional parts between the sash and frame than for the additional locks, in particular center locks of the known type specified above, but that their functional reliability with varying clearance dimensions remains permanently guaranteed.
  • the snap-lock device can be attached to the sash and frame of the windows, doors or the like with only a small amount of work, because only simple bores of relatively shallow depth are required as receptacles for their functional parts, provided that these are not already present anyway Profile grooves, especially fitting grooves, can be used on the rebate peripheral surfaces of sash and frame.
  • the invention provides in a further embodiment of the snap lock device that the displacement of the bolt latch in the housing pot is limited by a piston-like bolt, that this bolt engages with its piston head in a channel open to the oblique or wedge surface of the bolt latch and with its shaft that in End of the bolt latch and the spring designed as a compression spring coaxially pass through the housing pot, and that the bolt is fixed, for example riveted or screwed, to the bottom of the housing pot with its shaft. while its piston head forms a stop for a wall of the bolt latch delimiting the channel against the pot-like open end.
  • the housing pot is provided with a stop or collar projecting from its outer circumference transversely to its longitudinal axis, which limits its installation depth in the sash profile, that is to say ensures an optimal basic alignment of the interacting functional parts on the rebate peripheral surfaces of the sash and frame.
  • the housing pot has also proven to be advisable according to the invention to provide the housing pot with a section projecting beyond the stop or collar in the direction of the longitudinal axis and projecting into the rebate air area between the sash and frame, because in this way the latch bolt is optimally guided in the housing pot in any case, available minimum clearance between the sash and frame can be used.
  • the functional part of the snap-lock device containing the latch latch can not only be simply inserted into a stepped fitting groove that is usually provided on the circumferential groove surface of the sash profile (so-called Euronut) can be used. Rather, it is also possible to make a simple bore of 12 mm in diameter as a receptacle on wing spars not equipped with such a fitting groove from the outset.
  • the inclined or wedge surfaces of the latch and latch element have an inclination of less than 45 °, preferably between 25 ° and 35 °
  • the level of closure of the window or door and that their facing each other, free ends, each with a rounding or chamfer leading away from the circular arc around the wing-joint axis In particular during the closing movement of the wing about the hinge axis, these measures ensure the correct merging of the inclined or wedge surface of the locking latch with the inclined or wedge surface of the latching element.
  • the locking element is also advantageous to design the locking element as a pot-like molded part and to provide it with a stop collar directed transversely to its longitudinal axis, so that it can also be driven into the frame into a simple bore opening towards the circumferential surface of the fold.
  • the compression spring axially supporting the latch latch in the housing pot can be formed by a helical spring, by a plate spring column, by an elastomer sleeve or also by a composite element of these different types of spring and that the housing pot, the latch latch and the latching element are injection molded.
  • Fig. 1 of the drawing is a cross-sectional profile section of a frame 1 and also a plastic window Cross section of a wing 2 can be seen.
  • the wing 2 should be mounted so that it can move relative to the frame 1 about an articulation axis 3 close to a boundary edge.
  • the hinge fittings defining the hinge axis 3 cannot be seen.
  • an arc 4 is indicated in FIG. 1, the center of which has a cover position with the hinge axis 3 and which characterizes a movement path of the wing 2, which the wing traverses about the hinge axis 3 during its opening and closing movement relative to the frame.
  • the frame 1 has a rebate peripheral surface 5, while the sash 2 has a rebate peripheral surface 6.
  • the fold circumferential surface 5 of the frame 1 extends transversely to its main plane and also the fold circumferential surface 6 of the wing 2 is oriented transversely to its main plane.
  • the wing 2 When the wing 2 is brought into the closed position relative to the blind frame 1, its main planes extend parallel to one another and the fold circumferential surfaces 5 and 6 directed transversely thereto are then oriented essentially parallel to one another. They are at a distance 7 - the so-called rebate clearance - from each other, which should normally correspond to a predetermined dimension, but which differ in practical use of the windows and doors or the like for various reasons, namely both larger and smaller than the predetermined dimension can be.
  • At least one additional closure 8 is arranged as a so-called center closure between the spars of the frame 1 and sash 2 adjacent to the hinge axis 3 in the area of the fold peripheral surfaces 5 and 6, that is to say when the window or door is closed.
  • This is designed as a snap lock device 9, which works with a locking latch 12 held by a spring 10 under tension and rotatably but axially displaceably guided in a housing 11 and also comprises a latching element 13 as a counter-bearing for the locking latch 12.
  • the housing 11 has the shape of an essentially cylindrical housing pot, at least on its outer circumference, which is recessed over part of its length into a recess located on the circumferential surface 6 of the wing 2, which has the shape of a step groove 14 in the case of FIG. 1, as it usually serves to accommodate or accommodate espagnolette fittings.
  • the housing 11 or the housing pot has a bottom 15, while the end of the pot cavity 16 opposite this is open.
  • the bolt latch 12 of the snap-lock device 9 projects into the pot cavity 16 of the housing 11 or of the housing pot with its end 17, which is likewise of a pot-like design, and is thereby guided so as to be axially displaceable.
  • the spring 10, designed as a helical compression spring projects into the receptacle 18 of the pot-like open end of the bolt latch 12, whereby it is supported on the one hand on the bottom 15 of the housing 11 or housing pot and on the other hand acts on a transverse wall 19 which delimits the receptacle 18 and which has a relatively large size Distance from the end 17 of the bolt latch 12 has.
  • the compression spring 10 can be used with a relatively large overall length and consequently have a correspondingly large spring travel.
  • the outward displacement path of the latch bolt 12 relative to the housing 11 or the housing pot is limited by a piston-like bolt 20 which engages with its piston head 21 in a channel 22 open to the free end of the bolt latch 12.
  • the bolt 20 penetrates not only the transverse wall 19 of the bolt latch 12 with its shank 23, but also its receptacle 18 beyond the end 17.
  • the shaft 23 is fixed to the bottom 15 of the housing 11 or housing pot, for. B. riveted or screwed.
  • the shaft 23 of the piston-like bolt 20 is also coaxially surrounded by the helical compression spring 10, so that this acts on the transverse wall 19, the bolt latch 12 to can stop against the piston head 21 under elastic prestress.
  • the spring 10 does not necessarily have to be designed as a helical compression spring. Rather, it can also be formed by a plate spring column or an elastomer sleeve which, on the one hand, projects into the receptacle 18 of the locking latch 12 and, on the other hand, is penetrated by the shaft 23 of the piston-like bolt 20.
  • a composite element could also be used as the spring 10, in which several of the aforementioned types of springs are combined with one another.
  • the housing 11 of the snap lock device 9 or the housing pot has on its outer circumference a stop or collar 24 projecting transversely to its longitudinal axis, which is arranged and designed such that it limits the installation depth for the snap lock device 9 in the rebate peripheral surface 6 of the wing.
  • the stop or collar 24 can be designed as a plate, the width of which is adapted to the greatest opening width of the step groove 14 is. The length of the plate can vary from such
  • the housing 11 or the housing pot is provided with a length section 25 projecting beyond the stop or collar 24 in the direction of the longitudinal axis and wiping into the rebate air region 7, the wing 2 and the frame 1 in order in this way to achieve the longest possible guide length for to receive the bolt latch 12. It is important that the length section 25 projects beyond the stop or collar 24 at most by an amount which is in any case significantly smaller than the smallest possible distance 7 between the fold peripheral surfaces 5 and 6.
  • the latch 12 of the snap-lock device 9 has at its free end an inclined or wedge surface 26 which can cooperate with an inclined or wedge surface 27 on the locking element 13. It is important that both inclined or wedge surfaces 26 and 27 have such a position relative to one another that they can or can affect circular arcs, for example the circular arc 4 about the hinge axis 3 between the sash 2 and the frame 1. It has proven to be expedient if the inclined or wedge surfaces 26 and 27 of latch bolt 12 and locking element 13 each have an inclination of less than 45 ° to the locking plane of the window or door. Preferably, an angle of inclination should be selected that runs between 25 ° and 35 ° to the locking plane of the window or door.
  • a permanent correct interaction of the inclined or wedge surfaces 26 and 27 of the latch 12 and locking element 13 is ensured in a simple manner that the facing free ends of the inclined or wedge surfaces 26 and 27 each with a rounding or chamfer 28 and 29 are provided, which has a course leading away from the circular arc 4 about the wing hinge axis 3.
  • the locking element 13 can also be attached to the frame 1 with little effort if it is designed as a pot-like molded part and is provided with a stop collar 30 directed transversely to its longitudinal axis.
  • the housing 11 or the housing pot, the bolt latch 12 and the locking element 13 can be designed as injection molded parts made of plastic and / or as pressure molded parts made of metal (zinc or brass alloys).
  • FIG. 2 of the drawing it is shown that an additional closure 8, in particular a central closure in the form of a snap lock device 9, is also present.
  • Windows and doors can be used, the frame 1 and sash 2 are made of wood.
  • the housing 11 or the housing pot of the snap-locking device 9 is inserted into a bore 31 opening out to the peripheral circumferential surface 6 of the wing, while the latching element 13 is received by a bore 32 opening out on the peripheral peripheral surface 5 of the frame 1.
  • stops or collars 24 and 30 are expediently provided on one side only, projecting from the circumference of the housing 11 or housing pot and the locking element 13, and are designed in such a way that they can also interact with the frame 1 and the sash 2 as alignment means and anti-rotation devices .
