Description

Verkleidungsteil mit ausklappbarem Bildschirm Cover part with fold-out screen
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verkleidungsteil eines Fahrzeuginnenraums, insbesondere Instrumententafel oder Mittelkonsole, mit einem aus einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung in eine Gebrauchsstellung ausklappbaren Bildschirm.The invention relates to a trim part of a vehicle interior, in particular an instrument panel or center console, with a screen which can be folded out from a non-use position into a use position.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Ein gattungsgemässes Verkleidungsteil ist aus der Offenlegungsschrift DE 199 38 690 A1 bekannt. Die dort beschriebene Instrumententafel ist mit einem Aufnahmefach für einen Monitor versehen, der mittels eines Klapp- und Verschiebemechanismus aus einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung innerhalb des Aufnahmefachs in eine Gebrauchsstellung überführbar ist, in welcher der Monitor vom Fahrzeuginnenraum her einsehbar ist. Der Klapp- und Verschiebemechanismus ist mit zueinander beabstandeten Kulissenführungen ausgerüstet, in denen der Bildschirm nach dem Öffnen einer Abdeckung aus einer im Wesentlichen horizontalen Position in die in etwa vertikale Gebrauchsstellung gleitet.A generic trim part is known from the published patent application DE 199 38 690 A1. The instrument panel described there is provided with a receiving compartment for a monitor, which can be moved from a non-use position within the receiving compartment into a use position by means of a folding and sliding mechanism, in which the monitor can be viewed from the vehicle interior. The folding and sliding mechanism is equipped with spaced-apart link guides in which the screen slides from a substantially horizontal position into the approximately vertical position of use after opening a cover.
Diese Ausführung ist einerseits nachteilig, da die Abdeckung als gesondertes Bauteil ausgeführt ist und somit den Bauaufwand erhöht. Insbesondere neigtThis version is disadvantageous on the one hand, since the cover is designed as a separate component and thus increases the construction effort. In particular, tends
BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE eine parallele Anordnung mehrerer Kulissenführungen schon bei geringen Lageabweichungen der Führungsschienen oder einem geringfügigen Verkanten des Monitors zum Verklemmen.BESTATIGUNGSKOPIE a parallel arrangement of several link guides even with slight deviations in the position of the guide rails or a slight tilting of the monitor for jamming.
In der Offenlegungsschrift DE 197 00 515 A1 wird eine Armaturentafel offenbart, auf welche eine Ausgabeeinheit für visuell darstellbare Informationen aufsetzbar ist. Die flach auf der Armaturentafel aufliegende Ausgabeeinheit ist, ähnlich einem herkömmlichen Laptop, mit einem um eine horizontale und quer zur Fahrtrichtung verlaufenden Drehachse (Y-Achse des Fahrzeugs) schwenkbaren Monitor versehen. Die Ausgabeeinheit ist dabei nicht in die Armaturentafel integriert, sondern stellt ein aufwendig zu befestigendes, wenig formschönes Zusatzbauteil dar.In the published patent application DE 197 00 515 A1, a dashboard is disclosed on which an output unit for visually displayable information can be placed. Similar to a conventional laptop, the output unit, which lies flat on the dashboard, is equipped with a monitor that can be swiveled around a horizontal axis of rotation (Y-axis of the vehicle) that runs transverse to the direction of travel. The output unit is not integrated in the dashboard, but is an additional component that is difficult to attach and not very attractive.
Die Druckschrift DE 196 09 408 A1 beschreibt ferner ein Armaturenbrett mit einem Anzeigefeld, beispielsweise einer Projektionsfläche, das ortsfest im Armaturenbrett installiert ist. Durch Verformung membranartiger Blenden, die im Bereich des Anzeigfeldes aneinanderstoßen, kann dieses wahlweise vollständig verdeckt oder vom Fahrsitz aus sichtbar gemacht werden. Die Enden der Blenden sind zu diesem Zweck über stangenartige Verbindungsglieder mit einer Wippe verbunden, durch deren Verdrehung die Blenden verstellbar sind. Diese Ausbildung eignet sich jedoch nur für vergleichsweise kleinformatige Anzeigefelder oder setzt das Vorhandensein großflächiger Bereiche im Armaturenbrett voraus, in denen die Blenden angeordnet werden können. Ein Einsatz in flächenmäßig weniger ausgedehnten Verkleidungsteilen, beispielsweise Mittelkonsolen, ist daher kaum möglich. AufgabeThe document DE 196 09 408 A1 also describes a dashboard with a display panel, for example a projection surface, which is installed in a fixed position in the dashboard. By deforming membrane-like panels that abut each other in the area of the display panel, this can either be completely covered or made visible from the driving seat. For this purpose, the ends of the diaphragms are connected to a rocker by means of rod-like connecting elements, by means of which the diaphragms can be adjusted. However, this training is only suitable for comparatively small-sized display panels or requires the presence of large areas in the dashboard in which the panels can be arranged. It is therefore hardly possible to use it in trim parts with less surface area, such as center consoles. task
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verkleidungsteil bereitzustellen, aus dem ein Monitor mit niedrigen Betätigungskräften und geringem Bauaufwand ausklappbar ist und das sich darüber hinaus kompakt und formschön ausbilden läßt.The invention has for its object to provide a trim part from which a monitor with low actuation forces and low construction costs can be folded out and which can also be formed compact and stylish.
Lösungsolution
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass ein gattungsgemäßes Verkleidungsteil mindestens ein Führungselement aufweist, das einerseits am Verkleidungsteil und andererseits am Bildschirm angelenkt ist und dessen Drehachsen zueinander im Wesentlichen parallel verlaufen.The object is achieved according to the invention in that a generic trim part has at least one guide element which is articulated on the one hand on the trim part and on the other hand on the screen and whose axes of rotation run essentially parallel to one another.
Durch diese Ausbildung kann der Bildschirm aus der Gebrauchslage durch eine halbe Drehung hinter das vom Verkleidungsteil abstehende Führungselement geschwenkt und gemeinsam mit diesem zum Verkleidungsteil hin verlagert werden. Die so entstandene kompakte Einheit kann in die Kontur der Verkleidung eingebunden werden, darüber hinaus neigen die Drehgelenke nicht zum ungewollten Verklemmen.As a result of this design, the screen can be swiveled out of the position of use by half a turn behind the guide element protruding from the covering part and can be displaced together with it towards the covering part. The compact unit created in this way can be integrated into the contour of the cladding, moreover the swivel joints do not tend to jam unintentionally.
Das Führungselement kann nach einer Ausführung der Erfindung in Gebrauchsstellung des Bildschirms in die gleiche am Verkleidungsteil anliegende Lage gebracht werden wie in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung des Bildschirms, so daß es in beiden Stellungen am Verkleidungsteil arretierbar ist. Daher ist nur das bildschirmseitige Gelenk des Führungselements mit einer zusätzlichen Feststelleinrichtung, beispielsweise einer Reibkupplung zu versehen. Nach einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausbildung hingegen ist das Führungselement in Gebrauchsstellung des Bildschirms in einer von der Nichtgebrauchsstellung abweichende Lage feststellbar. In diesem Fall sind zwar sowohl das verkleidungs- als auch das bildschirmseitige Gelenk des Führungselements mit Feststelleinrichtungen zu versehen, der Bildschirm kann jedoch in seiner Lage flexibler an die Wünsche der Fahrzeuginsassen angepaßt werden.According to an embodiment of the invention, the guide element can be brought into the same position in contact with the trim part in the use position of the screen as in the non-use position of the screen, so that it can be locked in both positions on the trim part. Therefore, only the screen-side joint of the guide element is to be provided with an additional locking device, for example a friction clutch. According to another advantageous embodiment, however, the guide element can be locked in the position of use of the screen in a position deviating from the position of non-use. In this case, both the cover and the screen-side joint of the guide element are to be provided with locking devices, but the position of the screen can be adapted more flexibly to the wishes of the vehicle occupants.
Nach einer besonders zu bevorzugenden Ausführung der Erfindung sind mindestens zwei jeweils einerseits am Verkleidungsteil und andererseits am Bildschirm angelenkte Führungselemente vorgesehen, deren Drehachsen zueinander parallel verlaufen. Der Bildschirm wird also bei seiner Schwenkbewegung von einem Viergelenkrahmen geführt und in seiner Gebrauchslage besonders sicher gehalten. Dabei vergrößert sich nach einer vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Abstand zwischen der verkleidungsseitigen Drehachse des ersten Führungselements und der bildschirmseitigen Drehachse des zweiten Führungselements sowie zwischen der verkleidungsseitigen Drehachse des zweiten Führungselements und der bildschirmseitigen Drehachse des ersten Führungselements beim Ausklappen des Bildschirms von der Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die Gebrauchslage.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, there are at least two guide elements articulated on the one hand on the trim part and on the other hand on the screen, the axes of rotation of which run parallel to one another. The screen is thus guided by a four-bar frame during its pivoting movement and is held particularly securely in its position of use. According to an advantageous embodiment, the distance between the cladding-side axis of rotation of the first guide element and the screen-side axis of rotation of the second guide element and between the cladding-side axis of rotation of the second guide element and the screen-side axis of rotation of the first guide element increases when the screen is unfolded from the non-use position into the use position.
Besonders zu bevorzugen ist eine kinematische Gestaltung, bei welcher ein Führungselement bei der Verlagerung des Bildschirms von der Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die Gebrauchsstellung eine ausschließlich in eine Drehrichtung gerichtete Drehbewegung ausführt. Auf dieses Führungselement kann ein einfach auszubildender manueller oder maschineller Drehantrieb einwirken, der zum Überführen in die Gebrauchslage in die eine Richtung, beim Überführen in die Nichtgebrauchslage hingegen in die andere Richtung dreht und denA kinematic design is particularly preferred, in which a guide element executes a rotational movement directed exclusively in one direction of rotation when the screen is shifted from the non-use position into the use position. A manual or mechanical rotary drive, which is simple to train, can act on this guide element, which rotates in one direction for transferring to the use position, but in the other direction when transferring to the non-use position, and that
Bildschirm dabei zwangsweise in die gewünschte Position verschwenkt. Das andere Führungselement hingegen kann derart angelenkt werden, dass es beim Ausschwenken des Bildschirms seine Drehrichtung ändert.The screen is forcibly pivoted into the desired position. The other guide element, however, can be articulated in such a way that it changes its direction of rotation when the screen is pivoted out.
Bei allen Ausführungsformen ist es von Vorteil, wenn ein Führungselement den Bildschirm in Nichtgebrauchsstellung von außen ganz oder teilweise umgreift. Einerseits wird der Bildschirm auf diese Weise vor mechanischer Beschädigung geschützt, zum anderen kann das betreffende Führungselement zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit der Fahrzeuginsassen gerundet und gepolstert ausgeführt werden. Hierzu ist das den Bildschirm außenseitig umgreifende Führungselement bevorzugt flächig ausgebildet und verdeckt dessen Rückseite in Nichtgebrauchsstellung im Wesentlichen, wobei der Bildschirm in Nichtgebrauchsstellung mit Vorteil in einer Ausnehmung des Verkleidungsteils angeordnet ist. Dabei kann das andere Führungselement eine Lage zwischen dem Bildschirm und dem Verkleidungsteil einnehmen.In all embodiments, it is advantageous if a guide element completely or partially encompasses the screen in the non-use position from the outside. On the one hand, the screen is protected against mechanical damage in this way, and on the other hand, the guide element in question can be rounded and padded to increase the safety of the vehicle occupants. For this purpose, the guide element encompassing the outside of the screen is preferably of a flat design and essentially covers its rear side in the non-use position, the screen being advantageously arranged in a recess in the trim part in the non-use position. The other guide element can assume a position between the screen and the trim part.
Grundsätzlich können die Drehachsen der Führungselemente in jeder beliebigen Richtung verlaufen, solange sie zueinander parallel ausgerichtet sind. Wird das Verkleidungsteil jedoch im Innenraum eines Kraftfahrzeugs verwendet, ist aus optischen und funktionalen Gründen, wie auch im Hinblick auf den zu Verfügung stehenden Bauraum, eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Ausrichtung vorteilhaft.In principle, the axes of rotation of the guide elements can run in any direction as long as they are aligned parallel to one another. However, if the trim part is used in the interior of a motor vehicle, an essentially horizontal alignment is advantageous for optical and functional reasons, as well as with regard to the available installation space.

Ein Bildschirm 6 ist randseitig mittels eines weiteren, an der oberen Kante 7 des Führungselements 3 befindlichen Gelenks 8 mit dem Führungselement 3 und damit mittelbar auch mit dem Verkleidungsteil 1 schwenkbar verbunden.1, designed as a center console of a passenger car, is equipped on its vertical end face 2 facing the rear of the vehicle with a flat guide element 3, which is arranged on its lower edge 4 via a first joint arranged approximately centrally in the end face 2 5 is connected to the trim part 1. A screen 6 is connected on the edge side by means of a further joint 8 located on the upper edge 7 of the guide element 3 to the guide element 3 and thus indirectly also to the trim part 1.
Die Drehachsen der Gelenke 5, 8 verlaufen zueinander beabstandet und parallel in horizontaler Richtung quer zur Fahrtrichtung, also in Richtung der üblicherweise als Y-Achse bezeichneten Fahrzeugachse.The axes of rotation of the joints 5, 8 are spaced apart and parallel to one another in the horizontal direction transverse to the direction of travel, that is to say in the direction of the vehicle axis usually referred to as the Y axis.
In Nichtgebrauchsstellung ist der Bildschirm 6, wie aus Fig. 1a ersichtlich, zwischen dem Führungselement 3 und dem Verkleidungsteil 1 in eine in dieses eingelassene Ausnehmung 9 eingebettet. Das Display 10 des Bildschirms 6, der vom Führungselement 3 rückseitig vollständig verdeckt wird, zeigt in Fahrtrichtung und ist für die Fahrzeuginsassen nicht einsehbar. Das Verkleidungsteil 1 , die bündig mit dem Verkleidungsteil 1 abschließen- den Seitenflächen 11 des Bildschirms sowie das Führungselement 3 bilden dabei eine kompakte Baueinheit.In the non-use position, the screen 6, as can be seen from FIG. 1a, between the guide element 3 and the trim part 1 in an in this recess 9 embedded embedded. The display 10 of the screen 6, which is completely covered on the back by the guide element 3, points in the direction of travel and is not visible to the vehicle occupants. The trim part 1, the side surfaces 11 of the screen that end flush with the trim part 1 and the guide element 3 form a compact structural unit.
Beim Überführen des Bildschirms in die Gebrauchslage wird zuerst das Führungselement 3 um das am Verkleidungsteil 1 angeordnete Gelenk 5 nach hinten geklappt (Fig. 1b), bis der Bildschirm 6 im oberen Gelenk 8 um einen Winkel von etwa 180° nach oben in eine aufrechte, von den rückwärtigen Fahrzeuginsassen einsehbare Stellung schwenkbar ist (Fig. 1c). Nachfolgend kann das Führungselement in Richtung des Verkleidungsteils 1 zurückgeklappt und dort arretiert werden, wobei der Bildschirm 6 seine durch Drehung im Gelenk 8 anpaßbare Gebrauchsstellung einnimmt (Fig. 1d). Alternativ kann das Führungselement, wie in Fig. 1e dargestellt, durch Feststellen des unteren Gelenks 5 in einer vom Verkleidungsteil 1 abstehenden Stellung gehalten werden. Die Feststellung wird bevorzugt sowohl im oberen Gelenk 8 als auch im unteren Gelenk 5 nachgiebig ausgebildet, beispielsweise durch in die Gelenke 5, 8 integrierte Reibkupplungen.When moving the screen into the position of use, the guide element 3 is first folded back about the hinge 5 arranged on the covering part 1 (FIG. 1b) until the screen 6 in the upper hinge 8 is turned upright by an angle of approximately 180 °, Visible position from the rear vehicle occupants is pivotable (Fig. 1c). Subsequently, the guide element can be folded back in the direction of the trim part 1 and locked there, the screen 6 assuming its use position which can be adjusted by rotation in the joint 8 (FIG. 1d). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1e, the guide element can be held in a position protruding from the covering part 1 by locking the lower joint 5. The determination is preferably made resilient both in the upper joint 8 and in the lower joint 5, for example by friction clutches integrated in the joints 5, 8.
Der unterhalb des Führungsteils 3 befindliche Bereich der Strinfläche 2 des Verkleidungsteils 1 kann ergonomisch günstig zur Anordnung von Bedien- und Funktionselementen genutzt werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist zu diesem Zweck eine im unteren Bereich des Verkleidungsteils 1 um die Y- Achse drehbar gelagerte Klappe 28 vorgesehen, bei deren Vorschwenken ein DVD-Lesegerät 29 zugänglich wird.The area of the string surface 2 of the trim part 1 located below the guide part 3 can be used ergonomically for the arrangement of operating and functional elements. In the exemplary embodiment, a flap 28 which is rotatably mounted about the Y axis in the lower region of the trim part 1 is provided for this purpose, and when it is swung forward, a DVD reader 29 is accessible.
Fig. 2 zeigt den Gelenkmechanismus eines anderen erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidungsteils 1 , bei welchem der Bildschirm 6 von zwei Führungs- elementen 12, 13 gelenkig gehalten wird. Das erste, in der Nichtgebrauchsstellung (Fig. 2a) außenliegende und in Seitenansicht winkelförmige Führungselement 12 ist durch ein an seinem oberen, horizontalen Schenkel 14 befindliches Gelenk 15 mit dem Verkleidungsteil 1 und mit seinem vertikal nach unten ragenden Schenkel 16 über ein Gelenk 17 am Bildschirm verbunden. Das Gelenk 17 setzt dabei etwa mittig an der in Nichtgebrauchsstellung teilweise sichtbaren Rückseite 18 des Bildschirms 6 an und wird vom winkelförmigen ersten Führungselement 12 abgedeckt.2 shows the articulation mechanism of another covering part 1 according to the invention, in which the screen 6 of two guide elements 12, 13 is articulated. The first, in the non-use position (Fig. 2a) outer and angled in side view guide element 12 is through a hinge 15 located on its upper, horizontal leg 14 with the trim part 1 and with its leg 16 projecting vertically downwards via a hinge 17 on the screen connected. The hinge 17 is positioned approximately in the middle of the rear side 18 of the screen 6, which is partially visible in the non-use position, and is covered by the angular first guide element 12.
Das zweite Führungselement 13 ist U-förmig mit breiter Basis 19 und kurzen Schenkeln 20, 21 ausgebildet. Diese sind endseitig mit weiteren Gelenken 22, 23 versehen, von denen in der dargestellten Nichtgebrauchslage das untere Gelenk 22 etwa mittig an der Stirnfläche 2 des Verkleidungsteils 1 ansetzt, das obere Gelenk 23 hingegen mit der in der dargestellten Nichtge- brauchslage oberen, horizontalen Kante 24 des Bildschirms 6 verbunden ist.The second guide element 13 is U-shaped with a wide base 19 and short legs 20, 21. These are provided at the end with further joints 22, 23, of which the lower joint 22 attaches approximately centrally to the end face 2 of the trim part 1 in the non-use position shown, the upper joint 23, on the other hand, with the upper horizontal edge 24 in the non-use position shown of the screen 6 is connected.
Die Drehachsen der Gelenke 15, 17, 22 und 23 verlaufen sowohl verkleidungsseitig als auch bildschirmseitig zueinander beabstandet und parallel.The axes of rotation of the joints 15, 17, 22 and 23 are spaced apart and parallel to one another both on the cladding side and on the screen side.
Durch die Anordnung in einer Ausnehmung 9 schließen die Führungselemente 12, 13 und der Bildschirm 6, die annähernd parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind, in Nichtgebrauchslage allseitig bündig mit der Kontur des Verkleidungsteils 1 ab.Due to the arrangement in a recess 9, the guide elements 12, 13 and the screen 6, which are aligned approximately parallel to one another, are flush with the contour of the trim part 1 on all sides when not in use.
Beim Überführen des Bildschirms 6 in die Gebrauchslage (Fig. 2d) wird das zweite Führungselement 19 um das Gelenk 22 ausschließlich in eine Richtung nach hinten geschwenkt, in der gewählten Seitenansicht also nur im Uhrzeigersinn. Dabei vergrößern sich einerseits der Abstand zwischen der Drehachse des verkleidungsseitigen Gelenks 15 des ersten Führungselements 12 und der Drehachse des bildschirmseitigen Gelenks 23 des zweiten Führungselements 13 und andererseits der Abstand zwischen der Drehachse des verkleidungsseitigen Gelenks 22 des zweiten Führungselements 13 und der Drehachse des bildschirmseitigen Gelenks 17 des ersten Führungselements 12.When the screen 6 is moved into the position of use (FIG. 2d), the second guide element 19 is pivoted about the joint 22 only in one direction to the rear, in the selected side view only clockwise. On the one hand, the distance between the axis of rotation of the joint 15 of the first guide element 12 and the axis of rotation of the joint 23 of the screen on the screen increases second guide element 13 and, on the other hand, the distance between the axis of rotation of the panel-side joint 22 of the second guide element 13 and the axis of rotation of the screen-side joint 17 of the first guide element 12.
Der Bildschirm 6 wird in Gegenrichtung um etwas mehr als 180° verdreht, wobei das erste Führungselement 12 um das verkleidungsseitige Gelenk 15 zuerst gleichsinnig mit dem Bildschirm 6 (Fig. 2b, 2c), nachfolgend jedoch seine Drehrichtung ändert und wieder gleichsinnig zum zweiten Führungs- element schwenkt. Ein manueller oder maschineller Antrieb des Gelenkmechanismus greift daher bevorzugt am Gelenk 22 an, da nur dieses über den gesamten Bewegungsablauf die gleiche Drehrichtung beibehält. Im Verkleidungsteil 1 ist darüber hinaus ausreichend Raum für die Unterbringung der Antriebselemente, im Gegensatz zu der Umgebung der ebenfalls unidirektional drehenden, am Bildschirm 6 ansetzenden Gelenke 17 und 24.The screen 6 is rotated in the opposite direction by a little more than 180 °, the first guide element 12 around the cladding-side joint 15 first changing in the same direction as the screen 6 (FIGS. 2b, 2c), but subsequently changing its direction of rotation and again in the same direction as the second guide. element pivots. A manual or mechanical drive of the joint mechanism therefore preferably acts on the joint 22, since only this maintains the same direction of rotation over the entire course of movement. In the covering part 1 there is also sufficient space for accommodating the drive elements, in contrast to the surroundings of the joints 17 and 24, which also rotate unidirectionally and engage on the screen 6.
Der Bildschirm 6 stützt sich in Gebrauchsstellung an einem Anschlag 25 des ersten Führungselements 12 ab, mit dessen Schenkel 16 er im Gelenk 17 einen spitzen Winkel ausbildet, und braucht nicht gesondert festgestellt werden. Der Schenkel 16 des ersten Führungselements und die Basis 19 des Basiselements sind dabei annähernd rechtwinklig zueinander ausgerichtet, wobei die Drehachsen der Gelenke 15, 17 und 23 in etwa auf einer Geraden G verlaufen. Die sich im Verlaufe des Ausschwenkens des Bildschirms 6 ändernde Drehrichtung des ersten Führungselements 12 ist dabei für die selbsttätige Lagesicherung des Bildschirms 6 in der Gebrauchsstellung wesentlich, da sich im Viergelenkmechanismus in dieser Stellung durch die Anlage des Bildschirms 6 am Anschlag 25 wieder ein stabiles Gleichgewicht einstellt. Eine letzte Ausführung der Erfindung ist in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellt. Abweichend von der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Ausbildung sind die bildschirmseitigen Gelenke 17 und 23 der beiden Führungselemente 12 und 13 jeweils an den horizontalen Kanten 26, 27 des Bildschirms 6 angeordnet. Auf diese Weise wird der Bildschirm 6 in Nichtgebrauchsstellung durch das äußere, flächig ausgebildete Führungselement 12, das an der oberen Kante 26 des Bildschirms sowie in etwa mittig an der Stirnfläche 2 des Verkleidungsteils 1 angelenkt wird, im Wesentlichen verdeckt. Das im oberen Bereich des Verkleidungsteils 1 sowie an der unteren Kante des Bildschirms 6 angelenkte Führungselement 13 hingegen befindet sich dabei in der Ausnehmung 9 zwischen dem eingeschwenkten Bildschirm 6 und dem Verkleidungsteil 1. Da weder das Führungselement 12 noch das Führungselement 13 im Verlauf des Ausschwenkens des Bildschirms in die Gebrauchslage die Drehrichtung ändern, sind in einem oder mehreren der Gelenke 15, 17, 2, 23 Feststell- einrichtungen vorzusehen. Alternativ kann selbstverständlich eine Feststelleinrichtung auch von außen auf die beweglichen Teile des Gelenkmechanismus oder in sonstiger Weise zwischen diesen wirken.In the use position, the screen 6 is supported on a stop 25 of the first guide element 12, with the leg 16 of which it forms an acute angle in the joint 17, and need not be ascertained separately. The leg 16 of the first guide element and the base 19 of the base element are oriented approximately at right angles to one another, the axes of rotation of the joints 15, 17 and 23 running approximately on a straight line G. The direction of rotation of the first guide element 12, which changes in the course of the pivoting out of the screen 6, is essential for the automatic securing of the position of the screen 6 in the use position, since a stable equilibrium is established in the four-bar mechanism in this position by the screen 6 resting against the stop 25 , A last embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. 2, the screen-side joints 17 and 23 of the two guide elements 12 and 13 are each arranged on the horizontal edges 26, 27 of the screen 6. In this way, the screen 6 is essentially covered in the non-use position by the outer, flat guide element 12, which is articulated on the upper edge 26 of the screen and approximately in the center on the end face 2 of the trim part 1. The guide element 13 articulated in the upper region of the trim part 1 and on the lower edge of the screen 6, on the other hand, is located in the recess 9 between the pivoted-in screen 6 and the trim part 1. Since neither the guide element 12 nor the guide element 13 during the pivoting out of the Change the direction of rotation on the screen in the position of use, locking devices must be provided in one or more of the joints 15, 17, 2, 23. Alternatively, of course, a locking device can also act from the outside on the movable parts of the joint mechanism or in some other way between them.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verkleidungsteil kann insbesondere als Armaturentafel oder Mittelkonsole eines Kraftfahrzeugs ausgebildet werden. Es sind jedoch auch andere Ausführungsformen denkbar, beispielsweise die rückwärtige Lehnen- oder Kopfstützenverkleidung von Fahrzeugsitzen. The trim part according to the invention can in particular be designed as a dashboard or center console of a motor vehicle. However, other embodiments are also conceivable, for example the rear backrest or headrest cladding of vehicle seats.
