Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a combination of bonnet and bodywork for a including a safety lock for a motor vehicle.
  • Safety locks for bonnets are provided with a mechanism that allows the bonnet to be hooked in two different positions, a completely closed and locked position and a partially open position which allows the user to put his/her hand under the bonnet in order to lift it completely, after releasing the lock.
  • WO-A-9 826 144 discloses a combination according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE-A-4 446 078 discloses a different example.
  • reference number 1 indicates a safety lock for a bonnet of a motor-vehicle in general.
  • a first main part of the lock is fixed in a known way by means of a bracket 2, inside the motor compartment on the supporting crosspiece of the radiator. It consists of said bracket 2 to which a hook 4 is rotatably connected by means of a pivot 3, the hook consisting of a first main hook 4a and a second safety hook 4b.
  • the hook 4 is provided with a push finger 5 and can rotate from a full engagement and locking position of the bonnet to a full release position when the bonnet itself can be opened, passing through a so-called intermediate safety position, in which the bonnet is kept some 25 mm higher than the front crosspiece of the bodywork.
  • the hook 4 is rabbeted against a stop 5a made on the bracket 2, being kept in this position by means of an engagement (not shown), against the action of an elastic element not shown.
  • Said engagement can be operated from the interior compartment, in a known way, by means of a tie rod 6 so that the hook 4 is unlocked and the wire rod 8, which is integral with the bonnet (not shown), is released.
  • the second mobile part of the lock is mounted on the bonnet.
  • This part consists of a curved lever 13 the outline of which is basically S-shaped and which is rotatably mounted on a pivot 10, by means of a bolted bracket 12.
  • Said lever is controlled by an elastic element 14 so that, when the bonnet is closed, the lever is kept rotated into a predefined position against a stop consisting of a metal rod iron integral with the bracket 2.
  • One of the ends of the lever 13 is provided with a handle 16 while the other end is provided with a push peak 17.
  • Shape and dimensions of the lever are such that when it is in its rest position against the stop 15, it remains disguised in the outline of the motor-vehicle, among the bars of the grill in the case here shown, and its push peak 17 is basically on the vertical of the push finger 5.
  • the shape and dimensions of said lever will obviously be adapted each time to the outline of the motor-vehicle where the safety lock according to the invention is to be placed.
  • the safety lock works as follows.
