The striker 4 is on a Base plate 5 of the lock housing attached.

Das Schlossgehäuse 1 befindet sich beispielsweise an einer Fahrzeug-Heckklappentür, während das Schließgehäuse an der Fahrzeugkarosserie befestigt ist. An der Fahrzeugkarosserie kann die Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses gegenüber der durch eine bereits montierte Heckklappentür vorgegebenen Lage des Schlossgehäuses 1 grob justiert fixiert werden und zwar über Befestigungsmittel, die an seitlichen Flanschen 6 des Schließgehäuses 2 angreifen.The lock housing 1 is located, for example, at one Vehicle tailgate door, while the lock housing at the Vehicle body is attached. At the vehicle body can the base plate 5 of the lock housing relative to the an already mounted tailgate predetermined position of the Lock housing 1 roughly adjusted to be fixed over Fasteners attached to the side flanges 6 of the Attack lock housing 2.

Das Schlossgehäuse 1 ist in der Schwenkebene der Drehfalle 3 seitlich trapezförmig ausgebildet.The lock housing 1 is in the pivoting plane of the rotary latch. 3 formed laterally trapezoidal.

In der Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses 2 sind seitlich in Schließrichtung beweglich gelagerte Schließkeile 7 vorgesehen. Die Schräge der Schließkeile 7 ist der Trapezform des Schlossgehäuses 1 derart angepaßt, daß die Seitenflächen des Schließgehäuses 1 flächenschlüssig an den Schließkeilen 4 anliegen können.In the base plate 5 of the lock housing 2 are laterally in Closing direction movably mounted locking wedges 7 are provided. The slope of the striker 7 is the trapezoidal shape of the Lock housing 1 adapted so that the side surfaces of the Lock housing 1 surface locking on the locking wedges. 4 can be present.

Die Schließkeile 7 besitzen an der Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses 2 eine Grobführung, das heißt eine Führung mit einem relativ großen Spiel innerhalb der Führungsmittel. Die Führungsmittel bestehen je Schließkeil 7 aus einer in Schließrichtung verlaufenden Bohrung 8 innerhalb eines Schließkeiles 7 und einem an der Grundplatte 5 befestigten Führungsstab 9, der in die Bohrung 8 mit radialem Spiel eingreift. Durch Schraubenfedern 10, die sich an der Grundplatte 5 abstützen, sind die Schließkeile 7 federbelastet entgegen der Schließrichtung des Schlossgehäuses 1 in Richtung auf das Schließgehäuse 2. Gegen ein Herausfallen oder Herausnehmen aus dem Schließgehäuse 2 sind die Schließkeile 7 gesichert. Diese Sicherung kann durch eine feste Verbindung an den Schraubenfedern 10 gegeben sein, wobei diese Schraubenfedern 10 wiederum fest mit der Grundplatte 5 verbunden sind. Möglich sind allerdings auch andere Sicherungsvorkehrungen, die beispielsweise durch Anschläge in dem Schließgehäuse 2 gegeben sein können.The locking wedges 7 have on the base plate 5 of the Lock housing 2 a rough guide, that is a guide with a relatively large game within the guide. The Guide means consist per closing wedge 7 of a in Closing direction extending bore 8 within a Locking wedge 7 and one attached to the base plate 5 Guide rod 9, which in the bore 8 with radial clearance intervenes. By coil springs 10, which are attached to the Support base plate 5, the locking wedges 7 are spring loaded against the closing direction of the lock housing 1 in the direction on the lock housing 2. against falling out or Take out of the lock housing 2 are the locking wedges. 7 secured. This fuse can be connected by a firm connection be given to the coil springs 10, wherein these Coil springs 10 turn firmly with the base plate. 5 are connected. However, others are possible too Precautionary measures, for example, by stops in the lock housing 2 may be given.

Das Schließen des Schlosses läuft wie folgt ab.The closing of the lock is as follows.

Beim Einführen des Schlossgehäuses 1 in das Schließgehäuse 2 legen sich die trapezförmigen Seitenkanten des Schlossgehäuses 1 an die zugeordneten Schließkeile 7 an. Bei einer zentrischen Lage des Schlossgehäuses 1 gegenüber dem Schließgehäuse 2 schieben sich beide Schließkeile 7 beim Einführen des Schlossgehäuses 1 gleichmäßig in das Schließgehäuse 2 unter Spannen der Schraubenfedern 10 ein. Die Drehfalle 3 arretiert in bekannter Weise das Schlossgehäuse 1 an dem Schließbügel 4 gegenüber dem Schließgehäuse 2. Durch die Federbelastung der Schließkeile 7 liegen diese jeweils kontaktierend an den Seitenflächen des Schlossgehäuses 1 einerseits und den Seitenwänden des Schließgehäuses 2 andererseits an. Die Flächen, mit denen die Schließkeile 7 und die Seitenwände des Schließgehäuses 2 aneinanderliegen, sind jeweils eben ausgebildet, wobei die Flächenebenen jeweils parallel zu der Schließrichtung verlaufen. Durch die Anlage der Schließkeile 7 an den Seitenwänden 11 des Schließgehäuses 2 erhalten die Schließkeile 7 ihre Feinpositionierung. Damit eine solche Feinpositionierung möglich ist, müssen die Grobpositionierungs-Führungsmittel, die aus der Bohrung 8 in den Schließkeilen 7 einerseits und den Führungsstäben 9 andererseits bestehen, ein ausreichend großes Führungsspiel aufweisen. Bei einem Durchmesser eines zylindrischen Führungsstabes 9 von 5 mm empfiehlt sich beispielsweise ein diametrales Führungsspiel von etwa 0,2 mm.When inserting the lock housing 1 in the lock housing. 2 put the trapezoidal side edges of the lock housing 1 to the associated locking wedges 7. In a centric Position of the lock housing 1 relative to the lock housing 2 push both strikers 7 during insertion of the Lock housing 1 evenly in the lock housing 2 below Tighten the coil springs 10 a. The catch 3 locked in a known manner, the lock housing 1 on the striker. 4 relative to the lock housing 2. By the spring load of Locking wedges 7 are each in contact with the Side surfaces of the lock housing 1 on the one hand and the Side walls of the lock housing 2 on the other. The Surfaces with which the closing wedges 7 and the side walls of the Closing housing 2 abut each other, are each flat formed, wherein the surface planes respectively parallel to the Run closing direction. By investing the locking wedges 7 on the side walls 11 of the lock housing 2 receive the Locking wedges 7 their fine positioning. With it one Fine positioning is possible, the Coarse positioning guide means extending from the bore 8 in FIG the locking wedges 7 on the one hand and the guide rods. 9 On the other hand, there is a sufficiently large leadership game exhibit. At a diameter of a cylindrical For example, a 9-by-5-inch guide rod is recommended diametrical guide play of about 0.2 mm.

Besteht zwischen dem Schlossgehäuse 1 und dem Schließgehäuse 2 gegenüber einer zentrischen Ausrichtung ein Versatz, so werden die Schließkeile 7 beim Schließen des Schlosses jeweils unterschiedlich tief in das Schließgehäuse 2 eingeschoben, wodurch der gewünschte Toleranzausgleich erzielt wird. Consists between the lock housing 1 and the lock housing second in comparison to a centric alignment an offset, so be the locking wedges 7 when closing the lock respectively inserted at different depths into the lock housing 2, whereby the desired tolerance compensation is achieved.

Die Schließkeile 7 liegen auch bei einem Versatz zwischen Schloss- und Schließgehäuse 1 bzw. 2 federkraftbelastet an den Anlageflächen von Schloss- und Schließgehäuse jeweils flächenschlüssig kontaktierend an. Dadurch ist in Seitenrichtung, das heißt quer zur Schließrichtung, eine exakte Fixierung zwischen Schloss- und Schließgehäuse 1 bzw. 2 gegeben, wodurch im Fahrbetrieb des Fahrzeuges innerhalb des Schlosses keine Klappergeräusche auftreten können.The locking wedges 7 are also at an offset between Lock and lock housings 1 and 2 spring loaded on the Contact surfaces of lock and lock housings respectively surface contact contacting. This is in Side direction, that is transverse to the closing direction, a exact fixation between lock and lock housings 1 and 2 respectively given, thereby driving the vehicle within the Castle no rattling noises can occur.

Innerhalb des Schlossgehäuses 1 befindet sich ein Einführschlitz 12, über den das Schlossgehäuse 1 auf den Schließbügel 4 beim Schließen des Schlosses aufgeschoben wird. Dieser Einführschlitz 12 besitzt in Schließrichtung gesehen vorne einen sich nach hinten verjüngenden Schlitzbereich 13, an den sich ein engster Bereich 14 mit einer gewissen Länge gleicher Schlitzbreite anschließt. Diesem engsten Schlitzbereich 14 folgt sodann ein sich wieder erweiternder endseitiger Schlitzbereich 15. Durch den engsten Spaltbereich 14 kann beim Schließen des Schlosses eine Zentrierung gegenüber dem Schließgehäuse 2 mit Hilfe des Schließbügels 4 erreicht werden. Bei verschlossenem Schloss sorgt der endseitige Spaltbereich 15 dafür, daß die Seitenführung des Schlossgehäuses 1 innerhalb des Schließgehäuses 2 ausschließlich durch die seitlichen Schließkeile 7 gegeben ist. Diese Schließkeile 7 können beispielsweise auf Kunststoff sein, während die übrigen Schlossteile, soweit sie bisher beschrieben sind, gewöhnlich aus Metall bestehen.Within the lock housing 1 is a Insertion slot 12 through which the lock housing 1 on the Striker 4 is pushed when closing the lock. This insertion slot 12 has seen in the closing direction at the front a slot region 13 tapering backwards, at the narrowest area 14 with a certain length same slot width connects. This closest Slot area 14 then follows a widening again End slit area 15. Through the narrowest gap area 14 can center when closing the lock relative to the lock housing 2 by means of the striker. 4 be achieved. When locked lock provides the End gap area 15 that the side guide of Lock housing 1 within the lock housing second given exclusively by the lateral locking wedges 7 is. These closing wedges 7, for example, on plastic while the other castle parts, as far as they are so far are described, usually made of metal.

Das Schloss kann insgesamt bei offenem Schließgehäuse 2 an dem Fahrzeug montiert werden. Dadurch lassen sich Justagearbeiten an dem Schloss einfach vornehmen. Das Schließgehäuse kann durch einen beispielsweise aufschnappbaren Kunststoffdeckel 16 verschlossen werden.The lock can be a total of open lock housing 2 on the Vehicle to be mounted. This allows adjustment work make easy at the lock. The lock housing can by a snap-on plastic lid 16, for example be closed.
