Abstract

Door handle comprises a lock cylinder (20) arranged in a recess of a fixed support (11) on the inner side of the door. The support has a stop (50) for the lock cylinder and the stop can be adjusted between two positions. A movable screen positioned on the support is able to move between two positions. The stop protrudes into the moving path of the screen in its open position and prevents return of the screen to its final position. The screen covers the stop opposite the door folding hole. Preferred Features: The screen consists of profiled slides which are guided on the side of the support.

Description

The invention relates to an assembly of an outside door handle in Preamble of claim 1 specified type.

This assembly initially includes a one that can be attached to the inside of the door Carrier, which has a receptacle for a locking cylinder. To this However, the assembly also includes a handle-recess assembly, which is from the Door outside through a door cutout in a section of the Carrier is mountable. This assembly is installed by an im Carrier movable latch locked. The bolt is operated by a Hole in the door rebate. When assembling the unit, bearing parts of the handle arrive through the door cutout and the cutout in the carrier on the inside of the door where they, like the locking cylinder, interact with a door lock when actuated can. The trough of the assembly mounted in the carrier closes the door cutout in the outer door panel.

In the known assembly of this type (prior use hoof folding handle) was the Lock cylinder always an integral part of the carrier and was together with the Brackets attached to the outside door panel from the inside of the door. To the fastening, the locking cylinder in the bracket protruded from the door opening to the outside of the door and was then the one from the outside of the door Installation of the handle-recess assembly integrated into this. This well-known assembly requires a corresponding place in the delivery condition because the locking cylinder is already integrated in the carrier and bulky from the plate-shaped carrier protrudes.

In the case of a door handle of another type, which is neither from the inside of the door attachable carrier still has a handle-recess assembly (DE 26 56 011 A1) it is known to already have a locking cylinder from the inside of the door Handle base body mounted on the outside of the door in a bayonet-like manner by plugging and turning engage and in its installation position also from the inside of the door from attachable end plate and a cross-slidable fork spring to secure. The Installation of the locking cylinder from the inside of the door is cumbersome. The for Securing the locking cylinder required end plate and fork spring are loose Parts that can be lost and handled.

It is the case with a further outside door handle of the latter type (EP 0 447 818 A1) known a lock cylinder with attached rotary rod from the Outside of door in a basic body of handle already attached to the door insert. When inserted, the cylinder unit is set by a grub screw locked, which is accessible through a side hole in the door rebate.

There are external pull door handles with a bearing arm at one end of the handle and one to the Operation of a door lock serving shaft at the other end of the handle (DE 30 30 519 B1), which is separated from the outside of the door by two separate cutouts in the Door paneling can be inserted into the inside of the door, where a carrier is attached the inside of the door is attached. The carrier has two separate cutouts, in which the pull handle with its bearing arm and shaft from the outside of the door is plugged in first. The carrier also has a swivel bearing, by moving the handle laterally with the bearing arm is coupled. In addition to the shaft of the pull handle is in the recess of the carrier Space for a lock cylinder is provided, which is then from the outside of the door is inserted and also moved for locking. This end position of the The locking cylinder is secured by a screw connection.

This known pull handle has a space-saving delivery condition and ensures a defined installation sequence, namely first handle insertion and then lock cylinder insertion, which rules out incorrect assembly, but these are Measures on exterior door handle assemblies in the preamble of claim 1 mentioned type was not applicable.

The invention has set itself the task of a space-saving assembly in Generic type mentioned to develop a simple safe installation of the Handle-trough assembly on the one hand and the locking cylinder on the other ensures.

This is achieved by the measures mentioned in claim 1, the following is of particular importance.

The moveable screen on the carrier ensures that even inexperienced people do not install the various components of the assembly in the wrong order, which could lead to malfunctions. This is achieved because of the backup of the locking cylinder engaged in the carrier serving locking in the Movement path of the screen protrudes on the carrier when it is in its Dear locking position. In this case there is an interaction between the Locking and the aperture instead. At the same time, in this case, the aperture Access to the bolt from a hole in the door rebate prevented. Therefore, in this When an undesired locking of an incorrectly installed first time Handle-trough assembly in the carrier is generally prevented. The operator is forced - otherwise in an opposite analogy to the aforementioned known pull handle - first engage the lock cylinder and through it Secure locking. Only when this is really done can the fitter do it Transfer the cover to an end position, where the latch for the handle-recess unit is accessible. In this end position, on the other hand, the cover covers the locking device opposite the door rebate hole and closes an erroneous decoupling of the Lock cylinder. After installing the handle-recess assembly in the carrier then, as usual, the latches are operated around the locking position of the Secure unit in the carrier. The delivery state of the module is space-saving. Neutral supports, without locking cylinders, can be supplied can be inexpensively manufactured in large quantities and conveniently stored and have it transported. Both the assembly and the disassembly of the Individual components of the assembly are reliable in their order stipulates why even inexperienced people do not install incorrectly can.

The outer door handle assembly consists of three pre-assembled parts, namely a carrier 10, a lock cylinder 20 and a handle-recess assembly 30, which is to be called "structural unit" for short. The assembly 30 is in 1 and 2 are shown. It comprises a trough housing 31 with bearing arms 33 for the Axle 34 of a handle 33. The trough housing 31 also has a hole 35 in which comes to rest during assembly of the assembly 30 of the lock cylinder 20, after this was previously coupled to the carrier 10 like a bayonet.

The carrier with some of its elements can be seen in FIGS. 3, 10, 11 and 12. The Carrier 10 is attached to an outer door panel 25 from the inside of the door first attached, which in Fig. 3 fragmentary in its outline is indicated. The cladding 25 has a door cutout 26 in this area which coincides with a cutout 16 in the carrier. The door opening 26 extends itself also via a receptacle 15 in the carrier, which for coupling the Lock cylinder 20 is used. 3, the inner surface 27 of the outer panel 25 and to see the back of the carrier 10. On the carrier 10 is a plate-like Bolt 11 guided in the direction of arrow 12, in the figures by dot hatching is made clear. The bolt 12 has two locking points 13 in the present case, which, drawn in solid lines, is shown in FIG. 3 in a line 11.1 of the Riegel's marked "release position". In this position 11.1 Assembly 30 from the opposite outside of the door with their in Fig. 1 and 2 with 36 marked bearing means in the sense of a restraining movement by the Mount the door cut-out 26 in the bracket 10 fastened on the inside of the door. Do it the carrier 10 together with the assembly 30 as follows.

2, has two lugs 37 on its rear side, which in the aforementioned steering movement by cutouts 17 in a frame web 13 drive through the carrier 10. This frame web 13 carries the bolt 11 and the Noses 37 reach beyond the plate-shaped locking points 13 Level. Then the bolt 11 by the distance 18 shown in FIG. 3 in the dash-dotted locking position 11.2 shifted, so get Locking point 13 in their also dash-dotted with 13 ' Position. Seen in the rear view of Fig. 3 reach behind in the Locking position 11.2 the locking points 13 'the lugs 37 on Trough housing 31 and thus prevent disassembly of the unit 30. In the Locking position 11.2 is consequently the mounting position of the assembly 30 on the Outside door trim secured. A serves as the actuation point 19 for the bolt 11 Breakthrough in the plate-shaped bolt 11. This actuation point 19 is, as in FIG. 8 reveals, accessible from a side hole 28 from the door rebate 29, if this allows a special aperture 40.

In the present case, the aperture 40 is designed as a slide and, as shown in FIG. 9, spatially profiled. 5 and 7 show the aperture 40 in the area of Door rebate hole 28 on the narrow side 38 shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 of the carrier guided longitudinally. The sled has two undercuts Feet 44, 45, with their necks 46, 47 forming the undercut, as in FIG. 12 shows, are guided in two slots 48, 49 on the narrow side 38. The Assembly of the slide can be seen from Fig. 10.

In Fig. 10 is an exploded perspective view of the carrier 10, the carriage 40 and a lock 50 shown. The lock 50 consists of one Screw. The screw 50 can be screwed into a threaded receptacle 39, which is provided in the carrier narrow side 38. The sled 40 is with its feet 44, 45 through widespread slot cutouts 54, 55 and then in Shifted towards the narrow slots. The one slot 48 is also in his Longitudinal profile compared to the cross section of its neck 46 coming to lie there profiled and has a slot extension 51 with the associated foot and neck 46 establishes a first rest for positioning the carriage 40. In this first There is a rest, which is illustrated by the auxiliary line 40.1 in FIGS. 3 and 5 "Initial position" of the carriage 40, which has the following effects.

As can best be seen from FIG. 9, the carriage 40 has two tabs 41, 42, which are arranged in the lateral offset but also in the vertical offset 43 to one another are. The second tab is in the initial position 40.1 of the slide 40 42, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the covering position with respect to the Actuating point 19 from the bolt 11. The bolt 11 is then from the door rebate hole 28 inaccessible and cannot be moved from its release position 11.1. It is So the assembly and disassembly of the handle-recess assembly 30 in the carrier possible, as already explained in connection with FIG. 3.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the mentioned locking screw 50 is from the door rebate hole 28 from easily accessible. 3 and 5, the first tab 41 from the carriage 40 in collision with the actuating end 56 of the Locking screw 50 and can therefore in this, through the auxiliary line 50.1 marked screw position cannot be adjusted. In this position is how Fig. 3 shows the receptacle 15 in the carrier freely and allows one by arrows 61, 62 in Fig. 4 illustrates bayonet-like coupling 60 or decoupling the opposite Lock cylinder 20 in the carrier receptacle 15. The coupling 60 runs in two Phases 61, 62 from. First, the locking cylinder 60 becomes axial in the direction of arrow 61 of Fig. 4 inserted in the carrier receptacle 15, which by not shown End stops is checked. The lock cylinder 20 carries segments 21 which at Insert 61 which can be seen in FIG. 3 counter segments 22 which determine the profile of the recording 15. Then the second phase of coupling takes place 60, namely the rotary movement 62 of the locking cylinder 20 that can be seen in FIG. 4. The cylinder segments 21 then drive behind those assigned to you receiving-side counter-segments 22 until the coupling end position of the Lock cylinder 20 is reached. Then the cylinder outlet 57 is in Active connection with the door lock, not shown, of the door.

This clutch end position of the lock cylinder 20 is now by the Locking screw 50 secured. Like the top view of the outside of the door rebate 29 of Fig. 6 shows, the actuating end 56 is in the carriage initial position 40.1 easily accessible from the rebate hole 28. The Locking screw 50 can be turned until its shaft end 58 behind one Radial shoulder 24 comes to rest, which, as shown in FIG. 4, is part of a Cylinder collar 23 is. Then a reverse rotation of the lock cylinder 20 is in the sense of the dismantling rotary arrow 62 'illustrated in dash-dot lines in FIG. 4 is not possible. The locking cylinder 20 is locked in the carrier receptacle 15. This fact is illustrated in Fig. 7. The screw 50 is in a through Auxiliary line 50.2 in FIG. 7 illustrates the "Dearretierposition". This proves that Position 50.1 of the screw described above and apparent from FIGS. 3 and 5 50 as "dear locking position".

As has already been described, there is an adjustment in the locking position 50.1 of the carriage 40 prevented because the screw operating end 56 in the Movement path of the upper slide tab 41 protrudes and with it Locking edge 59 collides with the screw actuating end 56. The The above-described initial position 40.1 of the slide was therefore due to the D-locking position 50.1 of the screw 50 secured.

However, if the locking position 50.2 is present, then the screw actuation end is located 56 outside the movement path from the upper slide tab 41 and there may be a displacement indicated by the movement arrow 53 in FIG. 12 53 of the carriage 40 take place. The carriage 40 leaves its through the locking means 51, 56 starting position 40.1 drawn in solid lines in FIG. 12. The foot necks 46, 47 are shifted in their slots 48, 49 until they are dash-dotted in FIG illustrated end position 40.2 marked by the auxiliary line 40.2. The second slot 49 may not be profiled because it is sufficient if the first Slot 48, as shown in FIG. 12, through a further slot extension 52 which for the Position 50.2 determines decisive second rest. The end position 40.2 can Otherwise due to impact effects between the foot necks 46 ', 47' and the ends of the associated slots 48, 49 may be defined.

The end position 40.2 of the carriage 40 is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The lower Sled rag has been moved out of the area of the rebate hole 28 and that Bolt actuating end 19 is accessible for a suitable tool. From the door rebate 29 can therefore the bolt 11 from the release position 11.1 described in its Lock position 11.2 of Fig. 3 are transferred, as well as a reset of Riegel in the opposite sense is of course possible.

In the carriage end position 40.2, the upper tab 41 comes from the carriage 40 in the area of the door rebate hole 28 and blocks access for a turning tool towards the screw actuation end 56. In the carriage end position 40.2 is therefore ensures the locking position 50.2 of the screw 50 and the Lock cylinder 20 cannot be dismantled by mistake. The locking of the Lock cylinder 20 is secured.
