Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an arrangement for locking and unlocking, i.e. opening and closing the luggage compartment of a motor-vehicle, in particular a motor-car.
  • the luggage compartment i.e. the boot of motor-cars is generally known to be adapted to be closed and opened through the use of an actuating handle located on the lid or door closing the same luggage compartment; the possibility is furthermore given, especially in the case that the vehicle is to be left parked for a longer period of time, for the luggage compartment to be locked by means of a proper key, or in some other suitable way, thanks to the provision of a lock unit located near the handle.
  • Such a lock unit is generally mounted on the frame used as a support for the lid opening handle; this support frame is suitably shaped so as to feature a recess of a substantially box-like shape, that is adapted to accommodate the various parts making up the handle assembly, and is attached to the compartment closing lid or door (or, anyway, to the bodywork of the vehicle) by means of screws or similar fastening means.
  • an element which is also shaped in a box-like configuration, and is attached on its rear side by means of screws, inside which there is hinged, by means of one or more transversal hinging pins, an actuating handle that is normally held in its resting position by at least a return spring.
  • the lock unit which is constituted by an essentially cylindrically shaped block, is generally inserted at a side of the recess accommodating the box-shaped element, in correspondence of an aperture provided in the support frame and possibly featuring ring-shaped containment walls that extend inwardly in the luggage compartment.
  • connection between the block of the lock unit and the support wall occurs by means of a cantilever arm projecting in an approximately perpendicular manner with respect to the same block and featuring, at the end portion thereof, a through-hole provided coaxially, once that said block is fitted, with a corresponding threaded hole provided in a protrusion of the box-shaped recess; a screw that passes through said hole in the arm, and engages the threading in the hole provided in the protrusion, fastens the block on to the frame.
  • Another equally important purpose of the present invention is to provide an arrangement which is low in costs and capable of being obtained with the use of currently available, largely known machines and techniques.
  • the arrangement for closing and opening, i.e. locking and unlocking the luggage compartment of a motor-vehicle comprises a support frame 1, which is preferably made of plastic material and is adapted to be fastened inside the luggage compartment (or, anyway, on to the bodywork) of a motor-vehicle in a per sé known (and not shown) manner.
  • Such a support frame 1 is provided with a box-shaped recess 2 extending inwardly in the luggage compartment and being substantially in the shape of a reverse U in its cross-section, wherein the front (lower, in the described example) wall 3 thereof is open.
  • said box-like recess 2 is provided with a protrusion 5 with an approximately trapezoidal cross-section in which there is provided a first through-hole 6, which is preferably unthreaded.
  • the cross-section of said box-shaped element 7 has an outer contour that is substantially in the shape of a reverse U, and an inner contour featuring an approximately trapezoidal shape, in such a manner as to define a side wall 10 (corresponding to one of the shanks of the U) that has a greater thickness as compared to the other side wall 11; similarly to the box-like recess 2, the box-shaped element 7 has its front (lower, in the described example) wall open, as defined by an edge 12.
  • a second hole 13 which is provided with retaining means, such as a threading, and is arranged coaxially with said first hole 6 once that the box-shaped element 7 is accommodated in the box-like recess 2.
  • the lock unit 15 which is constituted by a block 16 of a substantially cylindrical shape, is inserted adjacent to the box-like recess 2 in correspondence of an aperture 17 provided in the frame 1 and featuring advantageously circular containment walls 18 that extend inwardly in the luggage compartment; the block is of course oriented in such a manner as to enable the keyhole 19 to be accessible from the outside.
  • the block 16 is provided with a cantilever arm 20 protruding in an approximately perpendicular manner with respect to the same block towards the box-like recess 2; in correspondence of the free end portion thereof, said cantilever arm is provided with a third through-hole 21, which is arranged coaxially with said first through-hole 6 and said second threaded hole 13.
  • a peculiar feature of the present invention is constituted by the manner in which the lock unit 15 is connected to the frame 1, wherein such a connection is obtained by means of fastening means such as for instance a screw 22 passing through the third hole 21, the first hole 6 and engaging the retaining means that are provided in the box-shaped element 7 and are constituted by the threading in said second hole 13.
  • the screw 22 engaging the second hole 13, instead of the first hole 6 as it occurs in the prior-art, enables stresses brought about by blows imparted to the block 16 to be transferred from the protrusion 5 of the box-like recess 2 to the box-shaped element 7, while at the same time ensuring an optimum distribution of internal stresses in the arrangement made in this way.
  • the box-shaped element 7 turns out to have a much greater strength to resist the above cited stresses, since it is fully contained within such a resistant structure as the recess 2; furthermore, the greater extension of the linkage of the block 16 with several strong members such as the protrusion 5 of the recess 2 and the box-shaped element 7, as well as the interconnection of said block with said members, give the whole assembly a greater capability of withstanding the stresses imposed by impacts or blows that may be dealt by burglars or vandals during burglary attempts or attempts at stealing the vehicle. Finally, the box-shaped element 7 acting as a locking bolt to lock the screw 22 further contributes to an increased strength and safety of the connection.
  • Figure 3 can be noticed to illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention, in which to an increased tensile strength of the arrangement there are contributing at least a pair of teeth 23, 24 protruding outwardly from the box-shaped element 7 and interacting, by abutting thereagainst, with corresponding sunken receptacles 25, 26 provided inside the box-like recess; preferably, said pair of teeth 23, 24 and the corresponding sunken receptacles 25, 26 are positioned at different heights with respect to the longitudinal axis of the box-shaped element 7 and the box-like recess 2.
