Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein Schloß, insbesondere an einem Kraftfahrzeug, der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art. Bei derartigen Betätigungsvorrichtungen wird durch die Betätigung eines Betätigungselementes, das häufig als linear verschieblicher Taster ausgebildet ist, die lineare Bewegung eines Übertragungselementes veranlaßt. Je nach Ausführung ist das Übertragungselement als einstückiger Fortsatz des Betätigungselementes oder als eigenständiges Bauteil gestaltet. An dem Übertragungselement ist eine Mitnehmervorrichtung vorgesehen, die dessen Bewegung auf ein Auslöseelement, z.B. einen Umlenkhebel, überträgt, der über ein Betätigungsgestänge, wie etwa einen Bowdenzug, mit dem Schloß in Wirkverbindung steht.The invention relates to an actuating device for a lock, in particular on a motor vehicle, which in the preamble of claim 1 mentioned type. In such actuators is characterized by the Actuation of an actuator, often as linearly displaceable Button is formed, the linear movement of a transmission element causes. Depending on the version, the transmission element is as one piece Extension of the actuating element or designed as an independent component. On the transmission element, a driver device is provided which its movement onto a trigger element, e.g. a bell crank, transmits, via an actuating linkage, such as a Bowden cable, with the Castle is in operative connection.

Häufig sind derartige Betätigungsvorrichtungen sicherbar. Insbesondere sind oft Zentralverriegelungseinrichtungen vorgesehen, durch welche Sperrelemente so bewegt werden, daß die Bewegung des Betätigungs- und/oder des Übertragungs- und/oder des Auslöseelements blockiert werden.Often, such actuators are securable. In particular are often provided central locking devices through which Locking elements are moved so that the movement of the actuating and / or the transmission and / or the trigger element are blocked.

Aus der DE 198 31 944 C1 ist eine Bestätigungsvorrichtung für ein Schloß bekannt. Der in einem Zylindergehäuse angeordnete und drehbar gelagerte Schließzylinder ist mit einem Hebelgehäuse verbunden. Beide sind in Entriegelungs- und Verriegelungsstellung des Schließzylinders axial verschieblich angeordnet. An dem Hebelgehäuse ist innenseitig ein zweiter Nocken vorgesehen. Der erste Nocken kann sowohl in Ent- als auch in Verriegelungsstellung des Schließzylinders mit verschoben werden. In einer Zwischenstellung wird die axiale Verschiebung des Schließzylinders durch den zweiten Nocken verhindert. Dieser Stand der Technik weist verschiedene Nachteile auf. Durch die Blockierung eines oder mehrerer, beweglicher Teile besteht die Gefahr der Zerstörung bei Gewaltanwendung auf das Betätigungselement. Erweist sich darüber hinaus das Sperrelement (Nocken) als schwächstes Glied in der Wirkverbindungskette zwischen Betätigungselement und Schloß, führt Gewaltanwendung zum Bruch des Sperrelementes und zu unbefugtem Auslösen des Schloßmechanismusses. Als weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Vorrichtungen ist die Sicherung nur entweder über die Zentralverriegelungseinheit gemeinsam mit den übrigen Schlössern des Kraftfahrzeuges aktivierbar oder aber grundsätzlich separat. Letztere Variante hat den Nachteil der unbequemen Handhabung für den Benutzer, was erfahrungsgemäß dazu führt, daß die separate Sicherungsmöglichkeit, z.B. eines Handschuhfachs oder eines anderen, verschließbaren Ablagefaches, in der Regel nicht genutzt wird. Insbesondere in Cabriolets ist eine solche Sicherungsmöglichkeit aber von besonderer Bedeutung. Bei der erstgenannten Variante dagegen ist jeder momentane Besitzer der Zentralverriegelungsauslöseeinheit, z.B. eines Funksenders, in der Lage, alle an die Zentralverriegelung angeschlossenen Schlösser des Fahrzeuges gemeinsam zu öffnen. Dies ist jedoch häufig ungewollt. So muß beispielsweise in Hotels oder Werkstätten, wo Dritte das Fahrzeug bewegen müssen, diesen Zugang zum Fahrzeuginnenraum gestattet werden. Andererseits wäre es günstig, wenn Ablagefächer verschlossen blieben, so daß persönliche Gegenstände vor dem Zugriff Dritter sicher geschützt sind.From DE 198 31 944 C1 is a confirmation device for a lock known. The arranged in a cylinder housing and rotatably mounted Lock cylinder is connected to a lever housing. Both are in Unlocking and locking position of the lock cylinder axially slidably arranged. On the lever housing inside is a second Cam provided. The first cam can be used both in unlock and in Locking position of the lock cylinder to be moved with. In a Intermediate position is the axial displacement of the lock cylinder prevents the second cam. This prior art has several Disadvantages. By blocking one or more moving parts there is a danger of destruction when using force on the Actuator. In addition, does the blocking element (cam) prove as the weakest link in the operational chain between Actuator and lock, use of force leads to breakage of the Blocking element and unauthorized triggering the Schloßmechanismusses. When Another disadvantage of the known devices is the backup only either via the central locking unit together with the other locks of the motor vehicle activatable or in principle separately. Latter Variant has the disadvantage of uncomfortable handling for the user, what experience has shown that the separate security option, e.g. a glove compartment or other lockable storage compartment, in usually not used. Especially in convertibles is such Backup option but of particular importance. At the former Variant, on the other hand, is any current owner of the Central locking trip unit, e.g. a radio transmitter, capable of all locks of the vehicle connected to the central locking open together. However, this is often unwanted. So must For example, in hotels or workshops where third parties move the vehicle must be allowed access to the vehicle interior. On the other hand, it would be beneficial if storage compartments remained closed, so that personal belongings are protected against the access of third parties.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Betätigungsvorrichtung der vorgenannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, die es einem berechtigten Benutzer erlaubt, auf bequeme Weise die Sicherung über die Zentralverriegelungseinheit zu aktivieren, ihm aber gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit läßt, unberechtigten Benutzern lediglich selektiven Zugang zu gewähren. Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Betätigungsvorrichtung derart zu gestalten, daß auch bei übermäßiger Kraftanwendung auf das Betätigungselement nicht die Gefahr eines unberechtigten Öffnens des Schlosses besteht. Fehlerbedienungen sind zuverlässiger zu unterbinden und dem Benutzer durch absolute Stell- bzw. Drehwege das Gefühl eines exakt arbeitenden Mechanismusses zu vermitteln.The object of the invention is to provide an actuating device of the aforementioned To provide type that allows a legitimate user to convenient way the fuse through the central locking unit to activate, but at the same time leaves him the opportunity, unauthorized Give users only selective access. Another task The invention is to make the actuator so that also with excessive force on the actuator not the danger an unauthorized opening of the castle exists. Error operations are more reliable and the user by absolute Stell- or Drehwege convey the feeling of a precisely working mechanism.

Diese Aufgaben werden gelöst durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1. Diesen kommt im einzelnen folgende Bedeutung zu. Das Übertragungselement ist als axial verschiebliche und drehbare Welle gelagert. Die Drehung dieser Welle erfolgt durch eine erste Sicherungsvorrichtung, vorzugsweise einer Zentralverriegelungseinheit. Das Betätigungselement weist einen Bereich auf, der vermittels einer zweiten Sicherungsvorrichtung, vorzugsweise eines Zylinderschlosses, unabhängig von der Welle und dessen Sicherungsvorrichtung drehbar ist. Beide Elemente weisen jeweils mindestens einen exzentrisch angeordneten Fortsatz auf, wobei die Stirnflächen der Fortsätze einander zugewandt sind. Durch Betätigung einer der vorgesehenen Sicherungsvorrichtungen ändert sich die relative Drehlage der einander gegenüberliegenden Fortsätze zueinander. Es ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß die Stirnflächen der Fortsätze in bestimmten relativen Drehlagen überlappen, während sie in anderen Drehlagen einander nicht überlappen. Bei Betätigung des Betätigungselementes in Überlappungslage findet der Fortsatz des drehbaren Bereiches des Betätigungselementes einen Anschlag an der Stirnfläche des Wellenfortsatzes. Hierdurch kann die Bewegung des Betätigungselementes in eine lineare Bewegung der axial verschieblichen Welle überführt werden. Bei Betätigung des Betätigungselementes in einer Nichtüberlappungslage hingegen findet sein Fortsatz keinen Anschlag, weshalb keine axiale Verschiebung der Welle erfolgt, die den Schloßmechanismus auslösen würde. Die gesamte Vorrichtung befindet sich daher in jeder Nichtüberlappungsstellung in einer Sicherungslage. Erhöhte Kraftanwendung auf das Betätigungselement kann dabei nicht zur Zerstörung eines Elementes führen und den Schloßmechanismus gewaltsam aktivieren.These objects are achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. These have the following significance in particular. The Transmission element is mounted as an axially displaceable and rotatable shaft. The rotation of this shaft is effected by a first securing device, preferably a central locking unit. The actuator has an area which, by means of a second securing device, preferably a cylinder lock, regardless of the shaft and its Securing device is rotatable. Both elements each have at least an eccentrically arranged extension, wherein the end faces of the Fortsätze are facing each other. By pressing one of the provided Securing devices, the relative rotational position of each other changes opposite extensions to each other. It is according to the invention provided that the end faces of the extensions in certain relative Rotational positions overlap, while in other rotational positions they do not overlap one another overlap. Upon actuation of the actuating element in the overlapping position finds the extension of the rotatable portion of the actuating element a Stop at the end face of the wave extension. This allows the Movement of the actuating element in a linear movement of the axial slidable shaft are transferred. Upon actuation of the Actuator in a non-overlapping position, however, be found Extension no stop, which is why no axial displacement of the shaft takes place, which would trigger the lock mechanism. The entire device is therefore in any non-overlapping position in one Securing position. Increased application of force to the actuator can do not lead to the destruction of an element and the Forcibly activate the lock mechanism.

Die unabhängige Drehbarkeit der Welle und des drehbaren Bereiches des Betätigungselementes erlaubt es, einen der Fortsätze, vorzugsweise den des Betätigungselementes, in eine absolute Drehlage zu überführen, in welcher keine Überlappung mit dem anderen Fortsatz möglich ist, und zwar unabhängig davon, in welcher seiner vorgesehenen, absoluten Stellungen dieser sich befindet. In dieser Stellung, auf die im folgenden als "Hotel-Stellung" Bezug genommen wird, kann das Fahrzeug von jedem Dritten, der über eine Auslösevorrichtung für die Zentralverriegelung verfügt, bewegt werden, wobei jedoch in einem mit der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung ausgerüsteten Ablagefach verstaute, persönliche Gegenstände sicher geschützt sind. In einer weiteren, vom berechtigten Benutzer einstellbaren Drehlage des Fortsatzes am Betätigungselement, auf die im folgenden als "Normal-Stellung" Bezug genommen wird, ist dagegen die Überlappung abhängig von der absoluten Lage des Wellenfortsatzes, so daß das mit der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung versehene Ablagefach gemeinsam mit der Zentralverriegelung sicherbar bzw. entsicherbar ist.The independent rotation of the shaft and the rotatable area of the Actuator allows one of the extensions, preferably that of the Actuator to convert to an absolute rotational position, in which no overlap with the other extension is possible, namely regardless of which of its intended, absolute positions this is located. In this position, referred to hereinafter as the "Hotel Position" Reference is made to the vehicle of any third party, the has a central locking device, moves be, but in one with the inventive Actuator equipped storage compartment stowed, personal Objects are safely protected. In another, by the legitimate User adjustable rotational position of the extension on the actuating element, on which is hereinafter referred to as "normal position" is against the overlap depending on the absolute position of the wave extension, so that provided with the actuator according to the invention Storage compartment together with the central locking securable or is securable.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß, entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 2, vorgeschlagen, axial zwischen den Fortsätzen eine Sperrscheibe drehfest anzuordnen, die eine Ausnehmung aufweist, deren Formgebung ein Hindurchgreifen des Fortsatzes des Betätigungselementes nur in bestimmten, absoluten Drehlagen dieses Fortsatzes gestattet, während das Hindurchgreifen in anderen Drehlagen mechanisch unterbunden wird. Diese Ausgestaltung hat folgende Vorteile:To achieve this object, according to the invention characterizing part of claim 2, proposed axially between the Fortsätzen a locking disc rotatably to arrange, which is a recess whose shape is a passing through the extension of the Actuating element only in certain, absolute rotational positions of this Extension allows while passing through in other rotational positions is mechanically prevented. This embodiment has the following advantages:

Befindet sich der Fortsatz des Betätigungselementes in einer "erlaubten " Stellung, greift er bei Betätigung des Betätigungselementes durch die Ausnehmung der Sperrscheibe hindurch und kann, je nach absoluter Drehlage der axial verschieblichen Welle, auf deren Fortsatz treffen, wodurch der Schloßmechanismus ausgelöst werden kann. Würde während dieser Wirkverbindung versehentlich eine Drehung des drehbaren Bereiches des Betätigungselementes erfolgen, könnten die Stirnflächen der Fortsätze voneinander abrutschen, was zu Fehlbedienung führen würde. Durch ein formschlüssiges Durchgreifen des Fortsatzes des Betätigungselementes durch die Ausnehmung der drehfesten Sperrscheibe hindurch, wird eine Verdrehung am Betätigungselement wirksam unterbunden. Fehlbedienung ist damit ausgeschlossen. Außerdem hat das Vorsehen der Sperrscheibe zur Folge, daß das Hindurchgreifen des Fortsatzs selbst nur in der oder den "erlaubten " Stellungen möglich ist, d.h. nur nach Durchfahren absoluter Drehwege, wodurch der Eindruck des exakt arbeitenden Mechanismusses für den Benutzer erhöht wird.Is the extension of the actuating element in an "allowed" Position, he attacks upon actuation of the actuating element by the Recess of the locking disc and can, depending on the absolute rotational position the axially displaceable shaft, meet on the extension, whereby the Lock mechanism can be triggered. Would during this Active connection accidentally rotation of the rotatable portion of the Actuator done, the end faces of the extensions could slipping from each other, which would lead to incorrect operation. Through a positive engagement of the extension of the actuating element by the recess of the non-rotatable locking disc, is a rotation effectively prevented on the actuator. Misoperation is with it locked out. In addition, the provision of the locking disc has the consequence that the penetration of the extension itself only in the "allowed" or "allowed" Positions is possible, i. E. only after passing through absolute turning lanes, giving the impression of the exact working mechanism for the User is increased.

In einem Gehäuse 10 sind eine axial verschiebliche Welle 20 und ein als Druckknopf 30 ausgebildetes Betätigungselement angeordnet, zwischen denen eine Sperrplatte 40 drehfest gehaltert ist, die mit einer zentralen Ausnehmung 41 versehen ist. Der drehbare Bereich des Betätigungselementes ist als Schließzylinder 31 eines in den Druckknopf 30 integrierten Zylinderschlosses ausgeführt. Das Zylinderschloß ist mittels eines mechanischen Schlüssels 35, der in den Schlüsselschlitz 34 einsteckbar ist, betätigbar. An dem Schließzylinder 31 ist in axialer Verlängerung ein Fortsatz 32 vorgesehen, dessen Exzentrizität in Fig. 1 nicht, in Fig. 2 jedoch deutlich erkennbar ist. Bei Betätigung, d.h. Eindrücken des Druckknopfes 30, kann der Fortsatz 32, sofern er sich in einer geeigneten, absoluten Drehlage befindet, die Ausnehmung 41 der Sperrscheibe 40 durchgreifen. Jenseits der Sperrscheibe trifft er auf einen ebenfalls exzentrischen Fortsatz 22 der Welle 20. Bei Weiterführung der Eindrückbewegung wird die Welle 20 axial verschoben, wobei die Mitnehmervorrichtung 21 mit dem als Umlenkhebel 12 schematisch angedeuteten Auslöseelement in Wechselwirkung tritt. Nicht dargestellt in den Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Betätigungsgestänge, mit welchem der Auslösehebel 12 mit dem ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Schloß in Wirkverbindung steht. Ebenfalls nur schematisch angedeutet ist die Zentralverriegelungseinheit 11, durch welche die Welle 20 verdreht werden kann.In the sectional drawing of Fig. 1, the essential elements of a particularly advantageous embodiment of an inventive Actuator clearly visible. In a housing 10 are an axially displaceable shaft 20 and a trained as a push button 30 Actuator disposed between which a locking plate 40 rotatably is held, which is provided with a central recess 41. Of the rotatable portion of the actuating element is as lock cylinder 31 of an in executed the push button 30 integrated cylinder lock. The Cylinder lock is by means of a mechanical key 35, which in the Key slot 34 is inserted, actuated. On the lock cylinder 31 is an extension 32 is provided in the axial extension, whose eccentricity in Fig. 1 is not, in Fig. 2, however, clearly visible. Upon actuation, i. Pushing the push button 30, the extension 32, if he is in a suitable absolute rotational position, the recess 41 of the Lock washer 40 pass through. On the other side of the blocking disc he meets one likewise eccentric extension 22 of the shaft 20. In continuation of the Eindrückbewegung the shaft 20 is axially displaced, the Carrier 21 with the as the lever 12 schematically indicated triggering element interacts. Not shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is an actuating linkage, with which the Release lever 12 with the lock also not shown in Active compound is. Also indicated only schematically is the Central locking unit 11 through which the shaft 20 are rotated can.

Fig. 3 zeigt in übersichtlicher Weise verschiedene Konstellationen von Drehlagen, die die Welle 20 und der Schließzylinder 31 in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung einnehmen können. Die Ziffern 1 bis 5 bezeichnen dabei jeweils verschiedene Konstellationen, während die Buchstaben a bis c Bezug nehmen auf die entsprechenden Schnittebenen, die als IIIa, IIIb und IIIc in den Fig. 1 und 2 eingezeichnet sind. In Reihe a wird somit die Stellung des Wellenfortsatzes 22 mit seiner schraffiert dargestellten Stirnfläche 23 angedeutet. In Reihe b ist die drehfest gehalterte Sperrscheibe 40 mit ihrer Ausnehmung 41 dargestellt, die in der gezeigten Ausführungsform im wesentlichen aus zwei Bereichen aufgebaut ist, nämlich dem Entriegelungsbereich 42 und dem Sonderbereich 43, auf deren besondere Funktionen im folgenden eingegangen werden soll. Reihe c stellt schematisch einen Schnitt durch den Schließzylinder 31 mit dessen Fortsatz 32 und insbesondere dessen schraffiert gezeichneter Stirnfläche 33 dar. Reihe d symbolisiert die in der dargestellten Ausführungsform vorgesehenen Stellungen des Schlüsselschlitzes 34. Eine Draufsicht auf den Schließzylinder 31 mit den verschiedenen Stellungen des Schlüsselschlitzes 34 ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt.Fig. 3 shows in a clear way different constellations of Rotary positions, the shaft 20 and the lock cylinder 31 in a particular advantageous embodiment of the invention can take. The Numbers 1 to 5 each designate different constellations, while the letters a to c refer to the corresponding ones Section planes, which are shown as IIIa, IIIb and IIIc in Figs. 1 and 2 are. In series a is thus the position of the wave extension 22 with his hatched shown face 23 indicated. In row b is non-rotatable held lock washer 40 with its recess 41 shown in the embodiment shown constructed essentially of two areas is, namely the unlocking 42 and the special area 43, on whose special functions will be discussed below. Row c schematically shows a section through the lock cylinder 31 with its Extension 32 and in particular its hatched drawn face 33rd Row d symbolizes the in the illustrated embodiment provided positions of the key slot 34. A plan view of the Lock cylinder 31 with the various positions of the Key slot 34 is shown in FIG.

Die Konstellationen 1 und 2 in Fig. 3 zeigen die zwei in der "Hotel-Stellung " erreichbaren Lagen der einzelnen Elemente. In Reihe c ist die Stirnfläche des Zylinderfortsatzes in ihrer "Hotel-Stellung" 33' dargestellt. In dieser Stellung ist ein Eindrücken des Druckknopfes nicht möglich, da die Stirnfläche 33' gegen die Sperrplatte 40 stößt, ohne deren Ausnehmung 41 durchtauchen zu können. Die Sperrplatte 40 stellt jedoch nicht den eigentlichen Sicherungsmechanismus dar, da in dieser Stellung selbst bei fehlender Sperrplatte 40 oder bei deren Zerstörung nach übermäßiger Kraftanwendung eine Wirkverbindung mit der Stirnfläche 23 der Welle 20 nicht hergestellt werden kann, und zwar unabhängig davon, ob sich die Stirnfläche des Wellenfortsatzes in ihrer Sicherungsstellung 23' (Konstellation 1) oder in ihrer Entriegelungsstellung 23" (Konstellation 2) befindet. Soweit sich der Zylinder in der "Hotel-Stellung" 33' befindet, kann also einem Dritten, z.B. einem Hotel-Portier ohne Bedenken die Auslöseeinrichtung der Zentralverriegelung, z.B. eine Funkfernbedienung, anvertraut werden, so daß dieser in der Lage ist, das Fahrzeug zu bewegen. Dennoch wird es ihm nicht möglich sein, auf persönliche Gegenstände zuzugreifen, die in einem mit der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung ausgerüsteten Ablagefach untergebracht sind.The constellations 1 and 2 in Fig. 3 show the two in the "hotel position" achievable positions of the individual elements. In row c is the face of the Cylinder extension shown in their "hotel position" 33 '. In this position is an impression of the push button not possible because the end face 33 ' strikes against the locking plate 40 without dipping its recess 41 can. However, the locking plate 40 is not the actual Securing mechanism, since in this position even if missing Blocking plate 40 or its destruction after excessive force application an operative connection with the end face 23 of the shaft 20 is not made can be, regardless of whether the face of the Wave extension in its securing position 23 '(constellation 1) or in its unlocking position 23 "(constellation 2) is located Cylinder is in the "hotel position" 33 ', so can a third party, e.g. a hotel porter without concern the triggering device of Central locking, e.g. a radio remote control, be entrusted, so that this is able to move the vehicle. Yet it does not become him be able to access personal items in one with the inventive operating device equipped storage compartment are housed.

Die Konstellationen 3 und 4 sind dagegen im "Normal-Betrieb" vorgesehen. Die Stirnfläche des Zylinderfortsatzes ist hier in ihrer "Normal-Stellung" 33''. In dieser Drehlage kann der Fortsatz 32" bei Betätigung des Druckknopfes 30 durch die Ausnehmung 41 der Sperrplatte 40, und zwar insbesondere durch deren Entriegelungsbereich 42, hindurchtauchen. Ob dabei eine Wirkverbindung mit dem Wellenfortsatz 22 und damit ein Auslösen des Schloßmechanismusses erreicht wird, hängt allein von der Drehlage der Welle 20 ab. Befindet sich nämlich der Wellenfortsatz in der Sicherungslage 22' (Konstellation 3), führt die Betätigung des Druckknopfes 30 nicht zum Öffnen des Schlosses. Nimmt der Wellenfortsatz jedoch seine Entriegelungslage 22" (Konstellation 4) ein, wird das Schloß bei Betätigung des Druckknopfes 30 geöffnet. Dabei ist eine Fehlbedienung durch versehentliches Drehen des Schließzylinders 31 während der Wirkverbindung ausgeschlossen. Der Entriegelungsbereich 42 der Sperrplattenausnehmung 41 ist nämlich vorteilhafterweise so gestaltet, daß der Fortsatz 32" im wesentlichen formschlüssig durch ihn hindurchgreifen kann. Eine Drehung des Schließzylinders 31 wird damit wirksam unterbunden.The constellations 3 and 4, however, are provided in "normal operation". The end face of the cylinder extension is here in its "normal position" 33 ''. In this rotational position, the extension 32 "on actuation of the Push button 30 through the recess 41 of the locking plate 40, and that in particular by their unlocking 42, dive through. Whether there an operative connection with the wave extension 22 and thus triggering the Lock mechanism is achieved depends solely on the rotational position of the Wave 20 off. Is namely the wave extension in the Backup position 22 '(constellation 3), performs the operation of the Push button 30 not to open the lock. Takes the wave extension but its unlocking position 22 "(constellation 4), the lock opened upon actuation of the push button 30. This is a misoperation by accidentally turning the lock cylinder 31 during the Active compound excluded. The unlocking 42 of the Sperrplattenausnehmung 41 is namely advantageously designed so that the extension 32 "engage substantially in a form-fitting manner through it can. A rotation of the lock cylinder 31 is thus effectively prevented.

Die verhältnismäßig hohe Komplexizität der Konstellationen 1 bis 4 wird ermöglicht durch die Formgebung der Fortsätze 22 und 32 sowie durch die erreichbaren, absoluten Drehlagen von Welle 20 und Schließzylinder 31. Die Stirnfläche 23 des Wellenfortsatzes 22 ist so geformt, daß sie sich nur in einer der beiden Halbebenen erstreckt, die durch eine die Drehachse senkrecht schneidende Gerade voneinander getrennt sind. Vorteilhafterweise wird dies, wie in der in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsform, durch eine in etwa halbkreisförmige Beschaffenheit der Stirnfläche 23 realisiert. Dabei sollte jedoch darauf geachtet werden, daß die Sehne des in etwa halbkreisförmigen Kreisabschnitts um weniges von dem Kreisdurchmesser zurückversetzt ist. Hierdurch kann vermieden werden, daß auch in einer Nichtüberlappungsstellung, z.B. durch Fertigungstoleranzen, eine ungewollte Überlappung mit dem anderen Fortsatz 32 entlang des Kreisdurchmessers und insbesondere im Kreismittelpunkt entsteht.The relatively high complexity of the constellations 1 to 4 becomes made possible by the shape of the extensions 22 and 32 and by the achievable, absolute rotational positions of shaft 20 and lock cylinder 31. Die Face 23 of the wave extension 22 is shaped so that they only in one of the two half-planes extending through a the axis of rotation perpendicular cutting straight line are separated from each other. Advantageously, this will as in the embodiment shown in the figures, by an approximately semicircular nature of the end face 23 realized. It should Care should be taken, however, that the tendon of the approximately semicircular Circular section is set back by a few of the circle diameter. This can be avoided that even in one Non-overlapping position, e.g. through manufacturing tolerances, an unwanted Overlap with the other extension 32 along the circle diameter and especially arises in the center of the circle.

Die Stirnfläche 33 des Zylinderfortsatzes 32 dagegen ist vorteilhafterweise so geformt, daß sie sich nur in einer der vier Viertelebenen erstreckt, die durch zwei die Drehachse sowie einander senkrecht schneidende Geraden getrennt sind. Insbesondere ist es vorteilhaft, die Stirnfläche 33, wie bei der in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsform, in etwa viertelkreisförmig zu gestalten. Auch hier sollte darauf geachtet werden, daß die Stirnfläche 33, insbesondere in ihrer Spitze, nicht an den Kreisdurchmesser und insbesondere nicht an die Drehachse heranreicht. Die Gründe hierfür ergeben sich analog aus dem Zuvorgesagten.The end face 33 of the cylinder extension 32, however, is advantageously so shaped to extend only in one of the four quarter levels that pass through two the axis of rotation and perpendicular intersecting straight lines separated are. In particular, it is advantageous, the end face 33, as in the in the Figures illustrated embodiment, approximately in a quarter-circle to shape. Again, care should be taken that the end face 33, especially in its tip, not on the circle diameter and in particular does not reach the axis of rotation. The reasons for this are analogous from the predicted.

Sind nun beide Fortsätze unabhängig voneinander in jeweils zwei um 90° gegeneinander versetzte Drehlagen drehbar, lassen sich die Konstallationen 1 bis 4 realisieren.Are now both extensions independent of each other in two by 90 ° Rotatable mutually offset rotational positions, the Konstallationen can be 1 to realize 4.

In der besonders vorteilhaften, in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungform, ist eine weitere Konstallation 5 vorgesehen. Sie ist insbesondere dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Zylinderfortsatz in eine Sonderstellung 32'" überführt werden kann, in der seine Stirnfläche 33''' mit der Stirnfläche 23' des Wellenfortsatzes 22' in deren Sicherungsstellung bereichsweise überlappt. Um in dieser Sonderstellung eine Wirkverbindung zwischen den Fortsätzen 32''' und 22' erreichen zu können, ist in der Sperrscheibe 40 ein Sonderbereich 43 der Ausnehmung 41 vorgesehen, der ein Durchgreifen des Fortsatzes 33''' ermöglicht. Diese vorteilhafte Weiterbildung bietet sich insbesondere bei Cabriofahrzeugen an. Ist nämlich das Fahrzeug bereits über die Zentralverriegelung gesichert, und möchte der Benutzer aber ein mit der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung versehenes Ablagefach nochmals öffnen, ohne die Zentralverriegelung erneut zu betätigen, kann dies in der Sonderstellung, die sich auch durch die Stellung 34''' des Schlüsselschlitzes 34 auszeichnet, erreicht werden. Um Fehlfunktionen zu vermeiden, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der mechanische Schlüssel 35 in dieser Sonderstellung 34''' des Schlüsselschlitzes nicht abziehbar ist. Als zusätzliche Erleichterung kann eine automatische Rückstellung, z.B. durch Federkraft, in die "Normal-Stellung" 34" des Schlüsselschlitzes vorgesehen werden.In the particularly advantageous embodiment shown in the figures, is another Konstallation 5 is provided. It is in particular by it characterized in that the cylinder extension into a special position 32 '" can be converted, in which its end face 33 '' 'with the end face 23' of the wave extension 22 'in their securing position in areas overlaps. In order in this special position an operative connection between the To reach extensions 32 '' 'and 22', is in the locking disc 40 a Special area 43 of the recess 41 is provided, which is a penetration of the Extension 33 '' 'allows. This advantageous development offers itself especially in convertible vehicles. Is the vehicle already over secured the central locking, and the user wants but one with the inventive actuator provided storage compartment again without re-activating the central locking, this can be done in the Special position, which is also due to the position 34 '' 'of Key slot 34 distinguishes, be achieved. To malfunction too Avoid, it is advantageous if the mechanical key 35 in this Special position 34 '' 'of the key slot is not removable. When additional relief may be an automatic reset, e.g. by Spring force, provided in the "normal position" 34 "of the key slot become.

Schließlich bietet es sich als vorteilhaft an, die erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsvorrichtung in ein Armaturenbrett 50 einzubauen, das in der Nähe der Betätigungsvorrichtung einen Vorsprung 51 aufweist. Ist außerdem der mechanische Schlüssel 35 so geformt, daß seine Handhabe in der "Normal-Stellung" 35' beim Eindrücken nicht mit dem Armaturenbrett 50 kollidiert, während er in seiner "Hotel-Stellung" 35' beim Eindrücken mit dem Vorsprung 51 kollidieren würde, ist eine zusätzliche, rein mechanische Sicherungsvorkehrung betroffen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform übernimmt auch die Sperrscheibe 40 eine zusätzliche Funktion. Da sie ohnehin das Eindrücken in der Stellung 35' unterbindet, ist die Oberfläche des Vorsprungs 51 im Normalfall gegen mechanische Beschädigung durch den Schlüssel 35' geschützt. Im Falle von Gewaltanwendung bietet die Kollision von Schlüssel 35' und Vorsprung 51 eine zusätzliche Sicherungsmaßnahme.Finally, it is advantageous to use the invention Install actuator in a dashboard 50 that is nearby the actuator has a projection 51. Is also the mechanical key 35 shaped so that its handle in the "normal position" 35 'did not collide with the dashboard 50 when pressed in, while in his "hotel position" 35 'while impressing with the Projectile 51 would collide, is an additional, purely mechanical Security precaution affected. In this embodiment also takes over the locking disc 40 an additional function. Since they are impressions anyway prevented in the position 35 ', the surface of the projection 51 is in Normal case against mechanical damage by the key 35 ' protected. In case of violence, the collision of Key 35 'and projection 51 an additional safeguard.

Natürlich sind andere Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung möglich. Insbesondere ist es nicht zwingend notwendig, den drehbaren Bereich des Betätigungselementes als Schließzylinder 31 auszugestalten. Vielmehr ist es denkbar, hier ein elektrisches Schloß vorzusehen, das z.B. über eine spezielle Funktion einer Funkfernbedienung ansteuerbar ist. Auch ist es nicht zwingend notwendig, das Betätigungselement als Druckknopf 30 auszugestalten. Vielmehr können die erfindungswesentlichen Merkmale auch bei Ausführungen, z.B. als Hebelelement oder ähnliches, verwirklicht werden. Schließlich muß auch die Sperrplatte 40 nicht, wie in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigt, als separates Teil ausgestaltet sein. Vielmehr ist es möglich und häufig aus Kostengründen vorteilhaft, die Sperrplatte 40, wenigstens bereichsweise, als geeignet geformten Vorsprung des Gehäuses 10 auszugestalten. Of course, other embodiments of the invention Actuator possible. In particular, it is not mandatory necessary, the rotatable portion of the actuator as Design lock cylinder 31. Rather, it is conceivable here to provide an electric lock, e.g. via a special function of a Radio remote control is controlled. Nor is it absolutely necessary to design the actuator as a push button 30. Rather, you can the features essential to the invention also in embodiments, e.g. when Lever or the like, be realized. Finally, the must Locking plate 40 not, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, as a separate part be designed. Rather, it is possible and often for cost reasons advantageous, the locking plate 40, at least partially, as suitable shaped projection of the housing 10 to design.
