Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Außentürgriff, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to an outside door handle, in particular for motor vehicles, with the Features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiger Außentürgriff ist in der US-A-5 248 175 beschrieben. Die EP-A-0 311 453 beschreibt weiterhin einen Außentürgriff mit zwei von einem Griffteil abstehenden Schwenkhebeln die jeweils am freien Schenkelende um eine gemeinsame Schwenkachse schwenkbar sind. Der Abstand zwischen der Schwenkachse und dem Griffteil ist bei beiden Schwenkhebeln gleich, wodurch das Griffteil bei einer manuellen Betätigung seitlich in eine zur Ausgangslage etwa parallele Stellung geschwenkt wird. In dieser Lage kann eine üblicherweise schräg von oben das Griffteil ergreifende Bedienhand lediglich unter einem ungünstigen Winkel eine Bedienkraft an dem Griffteil bewirken. Das plattenförmige Griffteil kann auch lediglich von einigen Fingern der Bedienhand mit einer geringen Betätigungskraft verstellt werden, die eventuell nach einem Unfall nicht ausreichend ist, um die mit dem Außentürgriff versehene Tür zu öffnen.Such an outside door handle is described in US-A-5 248 175. EP-A-0 311 453 further describes an outside door handle with two of a handle part protruding swivel levers around the free leg end a common pivot axis are pivotable. The distance between the The pivot axis and the handle part is the same for both pivot levers, which means the handle part with a manual actuation laterally in about the starting position parallel position is pivoted. In this position, one can usually be oblique operating hand gripping the handle part from above only under an unfavorable Angle an operating force on the handle part. The plate-shaped handle can even just a few fingers of the operating hand with a low actuation force be adjusted, which may not be sufficient after an accident to to open the door provided with the outside door handle.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Außentürgriff nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 anzugeben, der eine günstigere Krafteinleitung ermöglicht und mit einer größeren Bedienkraft ergriffen werden kann.The invention has for its object an exterior door handle according to the preamble of claim 1 specify a more favorable force introduction enabled and can be grasped with a larger operator.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Bei Kraftfahrzeugen werden Klappgriffe oder Ziehgriffe verwendet. Klappgriffe sind mit einer geringeren Betätigungskraft zu bedienen. Durch die Form der Klappgriffe können daran höhere Kräfte nicht aufgebracht werden, wodurch sich die betreffende Tür beispielsweise nach einem Unfall nicht ohne weiteres öffnen läßt. Ziehgriffe ermöglichen eine höhere Krafteinleitung, die eventuell erforderlich ist, um beispielsweise nach einem Unfall die mit dem Ziehgriff ausgestattete Tür zu öffnen. This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1. Folding handles or pull handles are used in motor vehicles. Are folding handles to operate with a lower actuation force. Due to the shape of the folding handles higher forces cannot be applied to it, causing the relevant Do not let the door open easily after an accident, for example. draggers allow a higher force introduction, which may be required to for example, to open the door equipped with the pull handle after an accident.

Die Drehrichtung der bekannten Ziehgriffe stimmt jedoch nicht mit der Betätigungsrichtung des Benutzers überein, so daß diese Griffe in einer für den Benutzer ungünstigen Richtung zu betätigen sind.However, the direction of rotation of the known pull handles is incorrect Actuating direction of the user match, so that these handles in one for the Users are operating in an unfavorable direction.

Mit der Erfindung wird durch die ungleiche Ausbildung der Schwenkhebel des Außentürgriffs eine Kombination eines Klappgriffes mit einem Ziehgriff erreicht, bei dem sich das Griffteil beim öffnenden Betätigen zunehmend in die Belastungsrichtung der Bedienhand einstellen kann und außerdem die Einleitung größerer Betätigungskräfte ermöglicht.With the invention is due to the uneven design of the pivot lever External door handle achieved a combination of a folding handle with a pull handle which the handle part increasingly opens in the direction of loading the operating hand can adjust and also the initiation larger Operating forces allowed.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

a side view of the outer door handle.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Außentürgriff hat ein Griffteil 1, das mit zwei einen Seitenabstand voneinander aufweisenden Schwenkhebeln 2, 2' verbunden ist. Die Schwenkhebel 2, 2' sind beispielsweise U-förmig mit ungleichen Schenkeln 3, 3' bzw. 4, 4' ausgebildet, die jeweils von einem vertikalen Steg 5, 5' seitlich nach außen gerichtet sind. Während die nach außen gerichteten Enden der unteren Schenkel 3', 4' mit dem Griffteil 1 verbunden sind, stützen sich die Enden der oberen Schenkel 3, 4 an den oberen Endbereichen von Stützhebeln 6, 6' um eine Schwenkachse 9 schwenkbar ab. Die Stützhebel 6, 6' sind mit einer von außen in eine Öffnung in der Fahrzeugtür eingesetzten Griffplatte 7 verbunden, in der eine Griffmulde ausgebildet ist. Die freien Enden der Schenkel 3, 4 und der Stützhebel 6, 6' sind mit fluchtenden Aufnahmeöffnungen 8, 8' versehen, die von einem nicht dargestellten Achsbolzen durchsetzt sind, der mit seiner Achse die Schwenkachse 9 für das Griffteil 1 bildet. Die Griffplatte 7 und das über den nicht dargestellten Achsbolzen über die Stützhebel 6, 6' und die Schwenkhebel 2, 2' mit der Griffplatte 7 schwenkbar verbundene Griffteil 1 bilden eine Baueinheit, die von außen teilweise durch eine Öffnung in einer Fahrzeugtür durchgesteckt und beispielsweise über einen von innen an das äußere Türblech anliegenden Träger 10 und nicht dargestellte Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise Schrauben, an der Fahrzeugtür befestigt ist. Seitlich neben dem Griffteil 1 kann ein schlüsselbetätigbarer Schließzylinder 11 angeordnet sein. Die Stege 5, 5' der Schwenkhebel 2, 2' sind in ihrer vertikalen Erstreckung ungleich ausgebildet, wodurch die Schwenkachse 9 gegenüber dem in Normallage etwa horizontal angeordneten Griffteil 1 nach hinten oben geneigt ist. Der Anstellwinkel der türfesten Schwenkachse 9 zur horizontalen Fahrzeugebene beträgt etwa 10° bis 20°, wobei auch größere oder kleinere Anstellwinkel möglich sind. Durch die Schrägstellung der Schwenkachse 9 wird das Griffteil 1 beim öffnenden Verschwenken um die Schwenkachse 9 auf einer kegelstumpfförmigen Oberfläche in Umfangsrichtung verlagert, wodurch das Griffteil 1 neben einer seitlichen Schwenkbewegung wie bei Klappgriffen eine - in vertikaler Richtung betrachtet - seitliche Schwenkbewegung ausführt, die mit der von Ziehgriffen bekannten Seitenbewegung vergleichbar ist. Im vorliegenden Fall wird beim öffnenden Verschwenken der hintere Bereich des Griffteiles 1 seitlich weiter nach außen verstellt wie sein vorderer Bereich. Durch die in einem Türinnenraum etwa parallel zur Außenfläche der mit dem Außentürgriff versehenen Tür angeordneten Schwenkachse 9 wird das Griffteil 1 bei der öffnenden Schwenkbewegung anfangs seitlich nach oben und mit zunehmender Ausschwenkbewegung um die Schwenkachse 9 in die schräg nach außen und oben wirkende Kraftrichtung eines Benutzers verstellt, der an dem Griffteil 1 eine Öffnungskraft bewirkt.The outer door handle shown in Fig. 1 has a handle part 1, the two with one Side distance from each other pivot levers 2, 2 'is connected. The Swivel levers 2, 2 'are, for example, U-shaped with unequal legs 3, 3' or 4, 4 ', each laterally by a vertical web 5, 5' are directed outside. While the outward ends of the lower Legs 3 ', 4' are connected to the handle part 1, the ends of the upper leg 3, 4 at the upper end regions of support levers 6, 6 'by one Swivel axis 9 pivotable. The support levers 6, 6 'are in with one from the outside connected an opening in the vehicle door handle plate 7, in the one Recessed grip is formed. The free ends of the legs 3, 4 and the support lever 6, 6 'are provided with aligned receiving openings 8, 8', which are not by one Axle bolts shown are penetrated, the axis of the pivot axis 9 forms for the handle part 1. The handle plate 7 and that over the not shown Axle bolts via the support levers 6, 6 'and the pivot levers 2, 2' with the handle plate 7 pivotally connected handle part 1 form a structural unit, which is from the outside partially inserted through an opening in a vehicle door and for example, via a support that lies against the inside of the outer door panel 10 and fasteners, not shown, for example screws on the Vehicle door is attached. Laterally next to the handle part 1, a key-operated Lock cylinder 11 may be arranged. The webs 5, 5 'of the swivel levers 2, 2' are unequal in their vertical extension, which means that Swivel axis 9 with respect to that arranged approximately horizontally in the normal position Handle part 1 is inclined upwards to the rear. The angle of attack of the doorstep Swivel axis 9 to the horizontal vehicle plane is approximately 10 ° to 20 °, wherein larger or smaller angles of attack are also possible. Through the inclination the pivot axis 9, the handle part 1 during the opening pivoting about Pivot axis 9 on a frustoconical surface in the circumferential direction relocated, whereby the handle part 1 in addition to a lateral pivoting movement as in Folding handles - viewed in the vertical direction - lateral pivoting movement executes that is comparable to the side movement known from pull handles. In the present case, the rear area of the Handle part 1 laterally adjusted outwards as its front area. By which are in a door interior approximately parallel to the outer surface of the with the Outside door handle provided door pivot axis 9, the handle part 1st with the opening swiveling movement initially upwards and with increasing pivoting movement about the pivot axis 9 into the obliquely outside and above force direction of a user adjusted who on the Handle part 1 causes an opening force.

Das Griffteil 1 ist ein Bügelgriff, an dem von einer Bedienhand beispielsweise nach einem Unfall eine größere Öffnungskraft zu bewirken ist. Sollte dabei durch die seitliche Schrägstellung des ausgeschwenkten Griffteiles 1 die Bedienhand an dem Griffteil 1 seitlich verrutschen, so kann sich diese an dem größeren Schwenkhebel 2' seitlich abstützen und dort aufgrund des größeren Hebelarmes des Schwenkhebels 2' ein größeres Öffnungsmoment um die Schwenkachse 9 an dem Griffteil 1 bewirken, Die Bewegungsrichtung des Griffteiles 1 insbesondere in der letzten Bewegungsphase beim öffnenden Ausschwenken stimmt weitgehend mit der Kraftrichtung der von einer Bedienhand an dem Griffteil 1 bewirkten Öffnungkraft überein, so daß ein größeres Öffnungsmoment an dem Griffteil 1 und der damit in Verbindung stehenden Schließeinrichtung bewirkt wird um diese zu öffnen.The handle part 1 is a bow handle on which, for example, by an operating hand an opening force must be increased in an accident. Should be by lateral inclination of the swung out handle part 1 on the operating hand the handle part 1 slip laterally, so this can on the larger Support swivel lever 2 'laterally and there due to the larger lever arm of the pivot lever 2 'to a larger opening torque about the pivot axis 9 effect the handle part 1, the direction of movement of the handle part 1 in particular in the last phase of movement when opening swiveling is largely correct with the direction of force caused by an operating hand on the handle part 1 Opening force match, so that a larger opening moment on the handle part 1 and the associated locking device is effected to this to open.

In der Seitenansicht gemäß Fig. 2 ist der Anstellwinkel 12 zwischen der türfesten Schwenkachse 9 und der Symmetrielängsachse 13 des bei geschlossener Tür in Normallage befindlichen Griffteiles 1 dargestellt. Wie der Figur zu entnehmen ist, können die Schwenkhebel 2, 2' und die Stützhebel 6, 6' etwa senkrecht zur Schwenkachse 9 parallel angeordnet sein.In the side view according to FIG. 2, the angle of attack 12 is between the most fixed Pivot axis 9 and the longitudinal axis of symmetry 13 in when the door is closed Normal position located handle part 1 shown. As can be seen from the figure, can the pivot lever 2, 2 'and the support lever 6, 6' approximately perpendicular to Pivot axis 9 can be arranged in parallel.

Vorzugsweise ist das Griffteil ein von einer Bedienhand umgreifbarer Griffbügel. Ebenso kann das Griffteil ein anders gestalteter Türgriff sein, der eventuell von unten oder von oben zu ergreifen und mit einer erforderlichen Öffnungskraft zu betätigen ist. Es ist nicht erforderlich, daß das Griffteil mit einer Griffschale eine Baueinheit bildet. Bei Verwendung einer Griffschale oder dergleichen kann diese in dem Außenblech einer Tür ausgebildet sein.The grip part is preferably a grip bracket which can be gripped by an operating hand. Likewise, the handle part can be a differently designed door handle, which may be from to be taken from below or from above and to be opened with the required opening force is pressed. It is not necessary for the grip part to have a grip shell Unit forms. When using a grip shell or the like, this can in be formed on the outer panel of a door.
