Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Bewegen von Türen, Heckklappen, Kofferraumdeckeln oder dergleichen von Fahrzeugen gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for moving doors, tailgates, Trunk lids or the like of vehicles according to the features the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 28 54 423 C2 ist eine Griffanordnung zum Öffnen beispielsweise von Kofferraumdeckeln an Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt, bei der die Griffanordnung als Block ausgebildet ist und um ihre Längsachse zwischen zwei Positionen verschwenkbar ist. Damit wird zwar dem Benutzer zum Öffnen der Heckklappe oder dergleichen in jedem Fall ein schmutzfreier und gut zugänglicher Griffabschnitt geboten, jedoch ist der konstruktive Aufwand hoch und als wesentlicher weiterer Nachteil zu nennen, daß in die Karosserie oder den Karosserie-Abschnitt der Tür, der Heckklappe, des Kofferraumdeckels oder dergleichen eine große Öffnung eingebracht werden muß, die einerseits anfällig für Verschmutzungen und anfällig für das Eindringen von Verschmutzungen ist, sich andererseits auch im Gesamterscheinungsbild deutlich abhebt und deshalb störend wirkt.DE 28 54 423 C2 describes a handle arrangement for opening, for example known from trunk lids on motor vehicles, in which the handle assembly is designed as a block and about its longitudinal axis between two positions is pivotable. This does indeed allow the user to open the tailgate or the like in any case a dirt-free and easily accessible handle section offered, however, the design effort is high and essential Another disadvantage to mention that in the body or the body section the door, the tailgate, the trunk lid or the like a large opening must be made, which on the one hand is susceptible to contamination and is susceptible to the ingress of dirt, itself on the other hand also stands out clearly in the overall appearance and therefore is disturbing.

Weitere Einrichtungen dieser Art sind aus der EP 0 212 364 A2 sowie der EP 0 398 106 B1 bekannt, die die gleichen Nachteile aufweisen, wobei insbesondere der konstruktive Aufwand bei der EP 0 398 106 B1 erheblich ist, da hier eine aufwendige Hebelmechanik zum Einsatz kommt. Ebenfalls wirken hier die großen Abeckflächen störend. Noch weitere Einrichtungen dieser Art sind dazu bekannt aus der DE-A-4233959, der DE-A-3427178 und der WO-A-8902018. Further devices of this type are known from EP 0 212 364 A2 and EP 0 398 106 B1 known, which have the same disadvantages, in particular the design effort in EP 0 398 106 B1 is considerable, since here one elaborate lever mechanism is used. They also work here large cover areas are annoying. Still other facilities of this Kind are known from DE-A-4233959, DE-A-3427178 and WO-A-8902018.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter Beibehaltung der Möglichkeit, daß dem Benutzer ein schmutzfreier Griff zum Bewegen der Tür, der Heckklappe, des Kofferraumdeckels oder dergleichen angeboten wird, die gesamte Einrichtung kompakt baut, der konstruktive Aufwand vermindert wird und eine Karosserie-Öffnung zur Durchführung eines Griffteiles möglichst kleingehalten werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object while maintaining the possibility of that the user has a dirt-free handle for moving the door, the Tailgate, the trunk lid or the like is offered, the entire Builds compact, the design effort is reduced and a body opening to carry out a handle part as small as possible can be.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Da das Griffteil entlang seiner Längsachse durch eine Öffnung in der Karosseriewand in seine Gebrauchs-Position bewegbar ist, reicht als Öffnung in der Karosseriewand die Querschnittsfläche des Griffteiles aus, um dieses in seine Gebrauchs-Position zu bewegen, so daß das Griffteil in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position das Gesamterscheinungsbild, beispielsweise der Tür oder des Kofferraumdeckels, wenig oder gar nicht stört. Da somit die Querschnittsfläche relativ gering ist, wird auch wirksam das Eindringen von Schmutz oder Feuchtigkeit vermieden. In vorteilhafter Weise ist die Endfläche des Griffteiles, die in der Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position mit der Karosseriewand im wesentlichen bündig abschließt, aus dem gleichen Material und/oder in der gleichen Farbe lackiert wie die Karosseriewand. In ebenso vorteilhafter Weise ist die Öffnung symmetrisch zu einem Schließzylinder oder dergleichen in bezug auf einen Teil der Karosseriewand oder einem daran angeordneten Teil, wie z.B. einem Nummernschild, angeordnet. So kann beispielsweise an einer Heckklappe in üblicher Weise das Nummernschild mittig angeordnet sein, wobei dann ein Schließ- und/oder Druckzylinder zum Öffnen der Heckklappe links und die Öffnung für das Griffteil rechts oder umgekehrt von dem Nummernschild angeordnet werden. Steht beispielsweise der Schließ- und/oder Druckzylinder aus der Karosseriewand hervor, kann dies auch für das Griffteil in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position gelten.As the handle part along its longitudinal axis through an opening in the body wall is movable into its use position, is sufficient as an opening in the Body wall, the cross-sectional area of the handle part from this in his Use position to move so that the handle part in its non-use position the overall appearance, for example the door or the Trunk lid, little or not at all. As the cross-sectional area is relatively low, the penetration of dirt or is also effective Avoided moisture. The end face of the handle part is advantageously those in the non-use position with the body panel essentially fits flush, from the same material and / or in the same color painted like the body wall. The opening is also advantageous symmetrical to a lock cylinder or the like with respect to a part the body wall or a part arranged thereon, e.g. a license plate, arranged. For example, in a tailgate in the usual way Way the license plate be arranged centrally, then a Locking and / or pressure cylinder to open the tailgate on the left and the opening for the handle part to the right or vice versa from the license plate become. For example, the locking and / or pressure cylinder is pending the body wall, this can also be done for the handle part in its non-use position be valid.

In der Erfindung ist zumindest die Öffnung in der Karosseriewand in der Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position des Griffteiles abgedeckt. Dies kann beispielsweise eine separate Abdeckung sein, die bei der Bewegung des Griffteiles von seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position in die Gebrauchs-Position verdreht, verschwenkt oder verschoben wird, um die Öffnung in der Karosseriewand freizugeben. Die Abdeckung wird in vorteilhafter Weise in derart bewegt, daß eine Berührung mit dem Griffteil vermieden wird, so daß dieses nicht verschmutzt werden kann. Es ist denkbar, daß die Abdeckung von der Stelleinrichtung zur Bewegung des Griffteiles oder von einer separaten Stelleinrichtung bewegt wird.In the invention there is at least the opening in the body wall covered in the non-use position of the handle. For example be a separate cover, the movement of the handle part of rotated from its non-use position to the use position, pivoted or moved to the opening in the body wall release. The cover is advantageously moved in such a way that contact with the handle part is avoided so that it does not become dirty can be. It is conceivable that the cover of the actuator for moving the handle part or by a separate adjusting device is moved.

In der Erfindung ist der Griffteil bogenförmig, insbesondere als Halbkreisbogen, ausgebildet. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß der Halbkreisbogen platzsparend hinter der Karosseriewand in der Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position gehalten werden kann, zum weiteren ist der Vorteil gegeben, daß damit ein gut zu handhabendes und ergonomisch ausgestaltetes Griffteil zur Verfügung steht. Ist keine Abdeckung für die Öffnung in der Karosseriewand vorgesehen, erfolgt eine Drehung des Griffteiles um im wesentlichen 180 Grad, so daß die Endquerschnittsfläche, die in der Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position die Öffnung in der Karosseriewand abdeckt, flächig an einem anderen Bereich der Karosseriewand zum Anliegen kommt.In the invention, the handle part is arcuate, in particular as Semicircular arch. This has the advantage that the semicircular arch space-saving behind the body wall in the non-use position can be kept, further there is the advantage that it is a good easy to handle and ergonomically designed handle available stands. If there is no cover for the opening in the body wall, there is a rotation of the handle part by essentially 180 degrees, so that the end cross-sectional area, which in the non-use position the opening in the Body wall covers, flat on another area of the body wall comes to the concern.

In einer nicht zur Erfindung gehörende Ausgestaltung ist der Griffteil länglich und im wesentlichen gerade ausgebildet. Damit steht eine alternative Konstruktion zur Verfügung, wobei die bogenförmige oder längliche Ausgestaltung des Griffteiles insbesondere in Abhängigkeit von dem vorhandenen Bauraum, der Konstruktion der Stelleinrichtung und beispielsweise in Abhängigkeit von den Forderungen des Fahrzeugherstellers gewählt werden kann. Die längliche und im wesentlichen gerade Ausbildung des Griffteiles hat den Vorteil einer besonders einfachen Ausführung.In a configuration not belonging to the invention, the grip part is elongated and in essentially straight. This provides an alternative construction Available, the arcuate or elongated design of the handle part especially depending on the available space, the construction the actuating device and, for example, depending on the Requirements of the vehicle manufacturer can be chosen. The elongated and essentially straight design of the handle part has the advantage of a particular simple execution.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist der Griffteil Mittel zum Vergrößern der Griffläche in der Gebrauchs-Position des Griffteiles auf. Diese Mittel sind entweder in dem Griffteil in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position integriert und werden beim Ausfahren des Griffteiles in die Gebrauchs-Position mitausgefahren oder erst bei Erreichen der Gebrauchs-Position des Griffteiles ausgefahren. In a development of the invention, the handle part has means for enlarging the Grip surface in the use position of the grip part. These funds are either integrated in the handle part in its non-use position and be when the handle section is extended into the use position or extended only when the use position of the handle part is reached.

Mittel zum Vergrößern der Griffläche sind, ohne daß die Erfindung auf diese Ausgestaltungsformen beschränkt ist, im folgenden beschrieben und anhand der Figuren erläutert.Means to enlarge of the gripping surface without the invention being based on these embodiments is limited, described below and explained with reference to the figures.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch eine Einrichtung zum Betätigen von Karosserieteilen, wie beispielsweise einer Tür, einer Heckklappe, eines Kofferraumdeckels oder dergleichen von Fahrzeugen, insbesondere von Personenkraftfahrzeugen. In Figur 1 ist der zwischen zwei Positionen bewegbare Griffteil mit der Bezugsziffer 1 bogenförmig ausgestaltet und in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position gezeigt. Die gesamte Einrichtung ist in vorteilhafter Weise in einem einteiligen Gehäuse 2 angeordnet, so daß die Einrichtung ein Modul bildet, in dem alle wesentlichen Komponenten der Einrichtung angeordnet sind, so daß dadurch die Einrichtung vorproduziert und beispielsweise bei der Serienproduktion von Fahrzeugen am Band schnell und einfach eingebaut werden kann. Mit der Bezugsziffer 3 ist schematisch ein Karosserieteil des Fahrzeuges dargestellt, bei der es sich beispielsweise um die Außenwand eines Fahrzeuges handelt. Es ist denkbar, daß das Karosserieteil 3 auch mehrschichtig ausgebildet sein kann. In dem Karosserieteil 3 ist eine Öffnung 4 vorhanden, durch die der bogenförmige Griffteil 1 um einen Drehpunkt 5 entlang seiner Längsachse von seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position in die Gebrauchs-Position ausgefahren werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck bewegt eine in Figur 1 nicht dargestellte Stelleinrichtung den bogenförmigen Griffteil 1 um den Drehpunkt 5 längs seiner Längsachse entlang. Ausgehend davon, daß die in Figur 1 nicht gezeigte Stelleinrichtung eine Stellkraft erzeugt, ist ebenfalls um den Drehpunkt 5 herum ein Mitnehmer 6 gelagert, der in eine Nase 7 eines Griffendes 8 des Griffteiles 1 angreift. Die Nase 7 sowie das Griffende 8 können an dem Griffteil 1 separat angeordnet werden, können aber auch eine Baueinheit mit dem Griffteil 1 bilden und einstückig mit diesem hergestellt werden. Die U-förmig ausgestalteten Enden des Mitnehmers 6 liegen unter Krafteinwirkung an der Nase 7 an, so daß dadurch unter Überwindung der Reibung ein Längs- bzw. Querspiel zur Ausgleichung von Toleranzen möglich ist.Figure 1 shows a cross section through a device for actuating Body parts, such as a door, a tailgate, a trunk lid or the like of vehicles, especially of passenger vehicles. In Figure 1 is the handle part movable between two positions with the reference numeral 1 designed arcuate and in its non-use position shown. The entire device is advantageously in one one-piece housing 2 arranged so that the device forms a module in which all essential components of the device are arranged so that thus pre-producing the device and, for example, in series production of vehicles on the assembly line can be installed quickly and easily can. The reference number 3 schematically shows a body part of the vehicle shown, which is, for example, the outer wall of a Vehicle. It is conceivable that the body part 3 also has multiple layers can be trained. An opening 4 is present in the body part 3, through which the curved handle part 1 along a pivot point 5 along its longitudinal axis from its non-use position to the use position can be extended. For this purpose, one in FIG Actuating device, not shown, the arcuate handle part 1 about the pivot point 5 along its longitudinal axis. Assuming that the Actuating device, not shown, generates an actuating force, is also about Pivotal point 5 around a driver 6, which in a nose 7 of a handle end 8 of the handle part 1 attacks. The nose 7 and the handle end 8 can the handle part 1 can be arranged separately, but can also be a structural unit form with the handle part 1 and be made in one piece with this. The U-shaped configured ends of the driver 6 are under the action of force the nose 7, so that thereby overcoming the friction a longitudinal or cross game to compensate for tolerances is possible.

An dem dem Griffende 8 abgewandten Ende des Griffteiles 1 ist zumindest der Querschnittsfläche der Öffnung 4 entsprechend eine Dichtung 9 angeordnet, die von einer Kappe 10, einem Deckel oder dergleichen abgedeckt ist. Die Dichtung 9 liegt dichtend mit ihrem äußeren Umfang an dem Karosserieteil 3 oder an dem Gehäuse 2 an und verhindert somit, daß der Griffteil 1 verschmutzt wird. Die Oberfläche der Kappe 10 kann auch mit der Oberfläche des Karosserieteiles 3 bündig abschließen (in dem Fall mit 3.1 bezeichnet).At the end of the handle part 1 facing away from the handle end 8 there is at least one Cross-sectional area of the opening 4 is arranged corresponding to a seal 9, which is covered by a cap 10, a lid or the like. The Gasket 9 lies sealingly with its outer circumference on the body part 3 or on the housing 2 and thus prevents the handle part 1 from becoming dirty becomes. The surface of the cap 10 can also match the surface of the Completely close body part 3 (in this case labeled 3.1).

Die Dichtung 9 kann bündig mit dem Karosserieteil 3 abschließen, während es alternativ dazu möglich ist, daß, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, die Dichtung 9 versenkt angeordnet ist und die Kappe 10 bündig mit dem Gehäuse 2 oder auch mit dem Karosserieteil 3 abschließt. Die Kappe 10 kann aufgesteckt, aufgeklebt oder in sonstiger Weise mit dem Griffteil 1 befestigt werden, wobei es auch denkbar ist, in der einfachsten Ausführung das Griffende, das von dem Griffende 8 abgewandt ist, bündig mit dem Karosserieteil abschließen zu lassen. Weiterhin ist in Figur 1 noch gezeigt, daß die als Modul ausgebildete Einrichtung Bohrungen 11 aufweist, mit denen dieses Modul hinter dem Karosserieteil 3, beispielsweise durch Verschraubung oder sonstige Befestigungen, befestigt werden kann.The seal 9 can be flush with the body part 3 while it alternatively, it is possible that, as shown in Figure 1, the seal 9 sunk is arranged and the cap 10 flush with the housing 2 or with completes the body part 3. The cap 10 can be put on, glued on or be attached in any other way with the handle part 1, it also is conceivable, in the simplest version, the handle end that of the Handle end 8 is facing away from flush with the body part to let. Furthermore, it is shown in FIG. 1 that the module Device has holes 11 with which this module behind the Body part 3, for example by screwing or other fastenings, can be attached.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Schnitt A-A gemäß Figur 1, wobei gleiche Bauteile mit gleichen Bezugsziffern versehen sind. In Figur 2 ist gezeigt, daß das Gehäuse 2 aus mehreren Gehäuseteilen 2.1, 2.2 und 2.3 besteht, in die die einzelnen Bauteile eingesetzt und fest oder bewegbar, insbesondere drehbar, lagefixiert werden. Als Stelleinrichtung ist ein Elektromotor 12 vorgesehen, der über einen Stecker 12.1 oder eine Buchse an oder in dem Gehäuse 2 angesteuert wird. Auf der Antriebswelle des Elektromotors 12 ist eine Schnecke 13 angeordnet, die wiederum ein Schneckenrad 14 antreibt, wobei das Schneckenrad 14 ein im Durchmesser kleineres Zahnrad 15 trägt. Dieses Zahnrad 15 steht in Kämmeingriff mit einem weiteren Zahnrad 16, dessen Achse um den Drehpunkt 5 gelagert ist. In Verbindung mit dem Zahnrad 16 oder mit diesem ein Bauteil bildend steht der Mitnehmer 6, der somit in eine Drehbewegung versetzt wird und das Griffteil 1 aus seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position in seine Gebrauchs-Position und wieder zurück bewegt. Das zwei- oder mehrteilige Gehäuse 2.1 bis 2.3 wird von Schrauben 17 (oder auch Klipse, Verklebungen oder dergleichen) zusammengehalten. Dadurch ist eine einfache Montage und auch eine einfache Zugänglichkeit der Komponenten der Einrichtung im Reparaturfall gegeben. Darüber hinaus ist auch nach mehrmaligem Gebrauch die Möglichkeit gegeben, den Bereich, den der Griffteil 1 in seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position einnimmt, zu säubern, falls es zu Verschmutzungen gekommen sein sollte.Figure 2 shows a section A-A according to Figure 1, with the same components are provided with the same reference numbers. In Figure 2 it is shown that the housing 2 consists of several housing parts 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, in which the individual Components used and fixed or movable, in particular rotatable, fixed in position become. An electric motor 12 is provided as an actuating device Plug 12.1 or a socket on or in the housing 2 is controlled. A worm 13 is arranged on the drive shaft of the electric motor 12, which in turn drives a worm wheel 14, the worm wheel 14 in Diameter smaller gear 15 carries. This gear 15 is in meshing engagement with a further gear wheel 16, the axis of which around the pivot point 5 is stored. In connection with the gear 16 or with this a component forming the driver 6, which is thus set in a rotary motion and the handle part 1 from its non-use position to its use position and moved back again. The two-part or multi-part housing 2.1 to 2.3 is from screws 17 (or clips, bonds or the like) held together. This makes installation easy and also easy access to the components of the facility in the event of a repair given. In addition, the possibility is also after repeated use given the area that the handle part 1 in its non-use position cleans it if it should have been contaminated.

Figur 3 zeigt eine weitere nicht zur Erfindung gehörende Variante zum Betätigen von Karosserieteilen, wobei nunmehr der Griffteil mit der Bezugsziffer 20 versehen ist, da er länglich und im wesentlichen gerade ausgestaltet ist. Mit der Bezugsziffer 18 ist der Außenbereich des Fahrzeuges und der innenliegende Bereich (also innerhalb der Karosserie) mit der Bezugsziffer 19 versehen. In den Figuren 3a bis 3d ist der Bewegungsablauf gezeigt, in der der Griffteil 20 von einer nicht gezeigten Stelleinrichtung linear längs seiner Längsachse von seiner Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position (also im Innenbereich 19) in seine Gebrauchs-Position (also in den Außenbereich 18, gezeigt in Figur 3d) ausgefahren wird. In dem dem Außenbereich 18 zugewandten Ende des Griffteiles 20 sind Mittel zum Vergrößern der Griffläche in der Gebrauchs-Position des Griffteiles 20 vorhanden. Die Ausgestaltung und die Funktionsweise dieser Mittel ist in Figur 3e gezeigt. Über eine von der gleichen oder einer separaten Stelleinrichtung separat betätigbare Stellstange 21 wird ein T-Stück 22 in der Gebrauchs-Position des Griffteiles 20 in Richtung des Innenbereiches 19 linear bewegt, wodurch scherenartig angeordnete Glieder 23 und 24, die untereinander oder mittels eines Zwischenstückes 25 miteinander verbunden sind und das Glied 24 andererseits an dem Griffteil 20 drehbar gelagert ist, aus ihrer Längsposition in einer im we-sentlichen zueinander parallelen Position verfahren, so daß sich das in Figur 3e gezeigte im wesentlichen T-förmig angeordnete Griffteil 20 einstellt, das dann zum Bewegen des Karosserieteiles ergriffen werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck wird der Griffteil 20, beispielsweise mittels der Stelleinrichtung, in seiner Gebrauchs-Position arretiert.FIG. 3 shows a further variant, which is not part of the invention, for actuating Body parts, the handle part now being provided with the reference number 20 is because it is elongated and essentially straight. With the Reference numeral 18 is the outside of the vehicle and the inside Area (within the body) with the reference number 19. In FIGS. 3a to 3d show the sequence of movements in which the grip part 20 by an actuator, not shown, linearly along its longitudinal axis of its non-use position (that is to say in the inner region 19) into its use position (So in the outer area 18, shown in Figure 3d) is extended. There are means in the end of the handle part 20 facing the outer region 18 to enlarge the grip area in the use position of the grip part 20 available. The design and the mode of operation of these means is shown in FIG 3e shown. Via one of the same or a separate actuating device separately actuated control rod 21 becomes a T-piece 22 in the use position of the grip part 20 moves linearly in the direction of the inner region 19, whereby scissor-like links 23 and 24 which are mutually or are connected to one another by means of an intermediate piece 25 and the link 24 on the other hand is rotatably mounted on the handle part 20 from its longitudinal position in move a position essentially parallel to each other, so that the handle part 20 shown in FIG. 3e arranged essentially in a T-shape sets, which can then be gripped to move the body part. For this purpose, the handle part 20, for example by means of the adjusting device, locked in its use position.

Es ist auch denkbar, daß der Griffteil 20 mittels der Stellstange 21 ausgefahren wird, diese dann arretiert wird und dann eine konzentrisch um die Stellstange 21 angeordnete Hülse (in Figur 3e der dunkle Bereich des Griffteiles 20) ausgefahren wird, um die Glieder 23 und 24 (und gegebenenfalls das Zwischenstück 25) in die ausgeklappte Position zu bringen. Die Glieder 23 und 24 sind vorzugsweise in einer leicht abgewinkelten Stellung (gestrichelte Linie in Figur 3d) angeordnet, um das Ausfahren in jeden Fall zu gewährleisten und ein Sperren zu verhindern.It is also conceivable that the handle part 20 is extended by means of the adjusting rod 21 is then locked in place and then concentrically around the control rod 21 arranged sleeve (in Figure 3e the dark area of the handle part 20) extended to the links 23 and 24 (and, if necessary, the intermediate piece 25) in the extended position. The links 23 and 24 are preferably in a slightly angled position (dashed line in figure 3d) arranged to ensure the extension in any case and a lock to prevent.

Figur 4 zeigt eine Verschaltung einer Stelleinrichtung, die sowohl bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 1 als auch gemäß der Figur 3 anwendbar ist.Figure 4 shows an interconnection of an actuator, both in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 and also according to FIG. 3 is applicable.

Der Elektromotor 12 ist einerseits über einen Umschalter 26 mit einem Pol einer Spannungsquelle (plus, Masse) verbunden. Andererseits ist der Elektromotor 12 über einen weiteren Umschalter 27 ebenfalls mit einem Pol der Spannungsquelle verbunden. In der in Figur 4 gezeigten Position der Schalter 26 und 27 ist der Elektromotor 12 stromlos, so daß sich die Griffanordnung in ihrer Nichtgebrauchsposition befindet. Wird nun der Schalter 26 betätigt (beispielsweise manuell, über eine Fernbedienung, über die Betätigung des Kofferraumschlosses oder ähnliches), wird der Elektromotor 12 eingeschaltet und bewegt die Griffanordnung von ihrer Nichtgebrauchsposition in ihre Gebrauchsposition. Ist diese erreicht, wird über eine beliebig geartete mechanische Verbindung 28 der Schalter 27 betätigt und der Elektromotor 12 abgeschaltet. Aufgrund einer weiteren Betätigung des Schalters 26 (beispielsweise zeitgesteuert, zeitgesteuert durch einen Innenlichtschalter oder manuell gesteuert) wird der Elektromotor 12 wiederum bestromt und bewegt die Griffanordnung von ihrer Gebrauchsposition in die Nichtgebrauchsposition. Diese weitere Betätigung des Schalters 26 kann auch beispielsweise erst dann erfolgen, wenn beispielsweise die Heckklappe komplett verschlossen wurde. In vorteilhafter Weise ist die Steuerung derart aufgebaut, daß immer dann, wenn ein Öffnungswunsch vorliegt, die Griffanordnung ausgefahren wird und dann, wenn beispielsweise die Heckklappe verschlossen wurde, die Griffanordnung wieder eingefahren wird.The electric motor 12 is on the one hand via a changeover switch 26 with one pole connected to a voltage source (plus, ground). On the other hand is the electric motor 12 via a further switch 27 also with a pole Voltage source connected. In the position shown in Figure 4 the switch 26 and 27, the electric motor 12 is de-energized, so that the handle arrangement in their non-use position. If the switch 26 is now actuated (for example manually, via a remote control, by operating the Trunk lock or the like), the electric motor 12 is turned on and moves the handle assembly from its non-use position to its use position. Once this has been achieved, any mechanical type is used Connection 28 of the switch 27 actuated and the electric motor 12 switched off. Due to a further actuation of the switch 26 (for example time-controlled, time-controlled by an interior light switch or manually controlled), the electric motor 12 is in turn energized and moves the handle arrangement from its use position to the non-use position. This further actuation of the switch 26 can also only then, for example if, for example, the tailgate has been completely closed. In the control is advantageously constructed such that whenever there is an opening request, the handle arrangement is extended and then, if, for example, the tailgate was closed, the handle arrangement is retracted.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es also, daß die Öffnung in der Karosseriewand besonders klein gehalten werden kann, so daß sich für die Karosseriewand (wie beispielsweise Tür, Heckklappe, Kofferraumdeckel oder dergleichen) ein gefälliges Erscheinungsbild ergibt, das nicht durch große Abdeckungen der Öffnung gestört wird. Weiterhin ist der Vorteil gegeben, daß aufgrund der kleinen Öffnung das Eindringen von Verunreinigungen bzw. Feuchtigkeit weiter effektiv verhindert wird, da eine wesentlich kleinere Fläche vorliegt.So it is particularly advantageous that the opening in the body wall can be kept particularly small, so that for the body wall (such as door, tailgate, trunk lid or the like) pleasing appearance that does not result from large covers of the Opening is disturbed. Furthermore, there is the advantage that due to the small opening further the ingress of dirt or moisture is effectively prevented because there is a much smaller area.

Alternativ zu den bisher beschriebenen Ausführungen des Griffteiles ist es denkbar, das Griffteil spiralförmig auszubilden, wobei dann das Spiral-Griffteil durch Drehen entlang seiner Längsachse durch die Öffnung in der Karosseriewand in seine Gebrauchs-Position bewegt wird und wieder zurück. Dies erfolgt insbesondere über mehrere Spiralgänge hinweg, wobei es auch denkbar ist, daß der Griffteil als Spiral-Halbbogen ausgebildet ist, der in der Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position geschützt in dem Bereich hinter der Karosseriewand liegt und nach einer Umdrehung von etwas mehr als 180° in seine Gebrauchs-Position bewegt wird. Ergänzend ist hierzu noch denkbar, daß dann der Spiral-Halbbogen im Bereich der Öffung in der Karosseriewand klappbar gelagert ist, so daß der Griffteil zunächst nach Ausfahren in seine Gebrauchs-Position in etwa planparallel zu der Karosseriewand liegt und danach in eine Position geklappt werden kann, in der er sich im wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Karosseriewand befindet. Dazu rastet er in dieser Postition ein, wobei die Raste durch die Bewegung in die Nicht-Gebrauchs-Position überwunden wird.It is an alternative to the previously described versions of the handle part conceivable to form the handle part spiral, then the spiral handle part by rotating along its longitudinal axis through the opening in the Body wall is moved into its use position and back again. This is done in particular over several spiral courses, with it also it is conceivable that the handle part is designed as a spiral half-arc in the Non-use position protected in the area behind the body wall lies and after a rotation of a little more than 180 ° in its use position is moved. In addition, it is also conceivable that the spiral half-arch is hinged in the area of the opening in the body wall, so that the handle part first after extending into its use position is approximately plane-parallel to the body wall and then in one position can be folded in which it is essentially perpendicular to the Body wall is located. To do this, he engages in this position, the notch is overcome by moving to the non-use position.
