Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Türfeststelleinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a door locking device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Erfindung betrifft insbesondere eine Türfeststelleinrichtung, die vorübergehend mit einem Scharnier verbunden werden kann, um die durch das Scharnier an eine Karosserie angebundene Kraftfahrzeugtür in bevorzugten Öffnungswinkeln zum Lackieren zu halten.More particularly, the invention relates to a door locking device that can be temporarily connected to a hinge to keep the motor vehicle door connected by the hinge to a body in preferred opening angles for painting.

DE 34 18 891 C2 zeigt eine Türfeststelleinrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeugscharnier, bei der eine Rasteinrichtung zum Festlegen von einer vorübergehend bevorzugten Öffnungslage, die einer Lackierstellung entspricht, durch eine warzenförmige Verprägung eines abgeknickten freien Endes eines an dem Scharnierstift des Scharniers festgelegten, auskragenden Halterarms gebildet ist, wobei die Verprägung in einer Ausnehmung in der Stirnseite der anderen Scharnierhälfte eingreifen kann. Nachteilig ist hierbei insbesondere, dass für das Aufheben der vorübergehend bevorzugten Öffnungslage des Scharniers der Halterarm weggebrochen werden muss, wodurch ein vergleichsweise teures Teil in der Fertigung durch umständliche Manipulation von Hand abgebrochen werden muss. Ferner verbleibt ein Teil des Halterarms an dem Scharnier und erhöht damit die Bauhöhe des Scharniers in nachteiliger Weise. Des weiteren kann die Türfeststelleinrichtung nicht bei einem weiteren Scharnier erneut eingesetzt werden. Da die Verprägung aufgrund der Eigenspannung des Halterarms in die Ausnehmung eindringt, reicht eine Verschwenkung der Tür nicht aus, um die Tür zu bewegen, vielmehr muss die Verprägung erst außer Eingriff gebracht werden. DE 34 18 891 C2 shows a door locking device for a motor vehicle hinge, in which a latching device for determining a temporarily preferred opening position corresponding to a Lackierstellung is formed by a wart-shaped embossment of a bent free end of a hinged to the hinge pin of the cantilevered support arm, wherein the embossment in a Can engage recess in the end face of the other hinge half. The disadvantage here is in particular that for canceling the temporarily preferred opening position of the hinge, the holder arm has to be broken away, whereby a comparatively expensive part in the production must be canceled by cumbersome manipulation by hand. Further, a part of the holder arm remains on the hinge and thus increases the height of the hinge disadvantageously. Furthermore, the door locking device can not be used again in another hinge. Since the embossment penetrates into the recess due to the residual stress of the holder arm, a pivoting of the door is not sufficient to move the door, but the embossment must first be disengaged.

DE 101 56 300 A1 beschreibt eine Türfeststelleinrichtung für ein Scharnier, bei der eine mit dem Scharnierstift gekoppelte Scheibe an ihrem Umfang mit Ausnehmungen versehen ist, die eine Querschnittsform eines in der entsprechenden Scharnierhälfte eingesetzten Haltestifts ausgebildet sind, wobei aufgrund der Drehbewegung des Scharniers der Stift in verschiedene Rastausnehmungen eingreift und somit bevorzugte Haltestellungen des Scharniers definiert. Nach Beenden der Lackierung kann der Haltestift entfernt werden, und die Lackierstellungen werden damit aufgehoben. Nachteilig bei dieser Türfeststelleinrichtung ist insbesondere, dass die Haltekräfte gering sind und insbesondere bei zu starker Beanspruchung einer Kraftfahrzeugtür die Gefahr besteht, dass die Tür insgesamt aufgeht, was beim Durchgangslackieren aufgrund des Zusammenstoßens mit einem benachbarten Fahrzeug besonders nachteilig wäre. DE 101 56 300 A1 describes a door locking device for a hinge in which a coupled to the hinge pin disc is provided at its periphery with recesses having a cross-sectional shape of a in the corresponding hinge half inserted retaining pin are formed, which engages due to the rotational movement of the hinge of the pin in different recesses and thus defines preferred holding positions of the hinge. After completion of the painting, the retaining pin can be removed, and the Lackierstellungen be repealed. A disadvantage of this door locking device is in particular that the holding forces are low and in particular at excessive stress of a motor vehicle door there is a risk that the door rises altogether, which would be particularly disadvantageous in through-varnishing due to the collision with an adjacent vehicle.

Aus der Praxis ist weiterhin eine Türfeststelleinrichtung bekannt, die einen an einem ersten Scharnierteil angeordneten Halter und ein an dem zweiten Scharnierteil angeordnetes, als Stift ausgebildetes Führungsglied aufweist, welches in eine Öffnung des Halters einsetzbar ist. Hierbei muss der Halter jedoch über den Stift gestülpt werden, wobei die Öffnung einzige eine bevorzugte Halteposition definiert. Soll die Tür wieder geschlossen werden, muss der Halter umständlich erneut über den Stift gebogen werden, was insbesondere bei mehrfachem hin- und herschwenken eine aufwendige Handhabung bedingt.From practice a door locking device is further known, which has a arranged on a first hinge part and a holder arranged on the second hinge part, designed as a pin guide member, which is insertable into an opening of the holder. In this case, however, the holder must be slipped over the pin, the opening only defines a preferred holding position. If the door should be closed again, the holder has to be cumbersome again bent over the pin, which in particular with multiple back and forth pivoting requires a complex handling.

DE 299 14 042 U1 zeigt ein Scharnier aus zwei Scharnierteilen, die über einen ersten Stift und einen zweiten Stift gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. In der von dem ersten Stift durchsetzten Stirnseite des ersten Scharnierteils ist ein Langloch konzentrisch- um die Achse des Stiftes angeordnet, das von einem oberen Ende eines als Zapfen ausgebildeten Führungsglied durchsetzt wird, während das untere Ende des Stifts in einer Ausnehmung des zweiten Scharnierteils festgelegt ist. Ferner sind der Zapfen und der erste Stift an einer gemeinsamen Halteplatte befestigt, die den Zapfen und den ersten Stift in zwei Abschnitte teilt und die bei der Montage des Scharniers zwischen den benachbarten Stirnseiten des ersten Scharnierteils und des zweiten Scharnierteils eingesetzt ist. Das Langloch selbst weist keine Rastposition für den Zapfen auf. Auf die nach außen weisende Seite der mit dem Langloch versehenen Stirnseite des ersten Scharnierteils ist eine mehrteilige Konstruktion als Türfeststelleinrichtung vorgesehen, die aus einem ersten Plattenkörper mit Langloch, einem weiteren Plattenkörper mit einer einseitigen Führungsbahn mit nach innen weisenden Rastmarkierungen sowie zwei Formgabeln mit nach aussen weisenden Rastmarkierungen, die schwenkbar auf einem Achsenstummel des ersten Plattenkörpers gelagert und durch eine Feder in Richtung der Rastmarkierungen vorgespannt sind, besteht. Die Rastmarkierungen der Führungsbahn des weiteren Plattenkörpers bzw. die Rastmarkierungen der Formgabeln definieren bevorzugte Öffnungswinkel des Scharniers, wobei hierzu einer jeden Ebene von Raustausnemungen auf dem Zapfen gelagerte Ringscheiben zugeordnet sind. DE 299 14 042 U1 shows a hinge of two hinge parts, which are hinged together via a first pin and a second pin. In the front side of the first hinge part penetrated by the first pin, a slot is arranged concentrically around the axis of the pin, which is penetrated by an upper end of a guide member designed as a journal, while the lower end of the pin is fixed in a recess of the second hinge part , Further, the pin and the first pin are secured to a common support plate which divides the pin and the first pin into two sections and which is used in the assembly of the hinge between the adjacent end faces of the first hinge part and the second hinge part. The slot itself has no detent position for the pin. On the outward-facing side of the slot provided end face of the first hinge part is provided a multi-part construction as a door locking device consisting of a first plate body with slot, another plate body with a one-sided guide track with inwardly facing locking marks and two forks with outwardly facing locking markers pivotally mounted on an axis stub of the first plate body stored and biased by a spring in the direction of the locking marks exists. The catch markings of the guide track of the further plate body or the catch markings of the forks define preferred opening angle of the hinge, for which purpose associated with each level of Raustausnemungen on the pin mounted washers.

US 4,953,259 beschreibt eine Schwenkmomentbremse für eine Armlehne, die schwenkbar an einem Träger angelenkt iat, wobei die Bremse einen Halter aus einem nachgiebigem Polymer mit einem Langloch aufweist und in einem Bereich zwischen Träger und Achse der Armlehne eingesetzt wird. Das Langloch ist mit einem emporstehenden Rand versehen. In dem Träger ist eine dem Langloch des Halters entsprechende Ausnehmung vorgesehen, die ebenso wie das Langloch von einem als Schraube ausgebildeten Führungselement durchsetzt wird, die in einer der Armlehne zugeordnete Bohrung eingeschraubt wird. Durch das Zusammenwirken von Schraube und Langloch wird ein Bremsmoment erreicht oder zumindest durch in dem Langloch vorgesehene Rastmarken bevorzugte Haltestellungen definiert. US 4,953,259 describes a pivotal moment brake for an armrest hingedly hinged to a support, the brake having a support of a compliant polymer with a slot and inserted in a region between the support and the axis of the armrest. The slot is provided with an upstanding edge. In the carrier a recess corresponding to the slot of the holder is provided, which is as well as the slot penetrated by a trained as a screw guide element, which is screwed into one of the armrest associated hole. Through the interaction of the screw and the slot, a braking torque is achieved or at least defined by holding stops provided in the slot preferred holding positions.

US 6,332,243 B1 beschreibt ein Scharnier mit einem ersten Scharnierteil und einem zweiten Scharnierteil, die über zwei Scharnierstummel gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind, wobei auf den Scharnierstummeln jeweils zwischen den beiden Scharnierteilen ein Brückenteil eingehängt ist, das an dem zweiten Scharnierteil festschraubbar ist. Das Brückenteil weist einen Kurvenabschnitt auf, der mit dem Umfang eines lösbar an dem ersten Scharnierteil angeordneten Stiftes in Eingriff bringbar ist, um eine provisorisch Haltestellung insbesondere während des Lackierens zu gewährleisten. Nach dem Lackieren kann der Stift herausgenommen werden, und das Scharnier in bekannter Weise betätigt werden. US 6,332,243 B1 describes a hinge with a first hinge part and a second hinge part, which are hingedly connected to each other via two hinge stub, wherein on the hinge stubs each between the two hinge parts a bridge part is mounted, which is festschraubbar to the second hinge part. The bridge part has a curved portion which is engageable with the periphery of a pin detachably arranged on the first hinge part, to ensure a provisional holding position, in particular during the painting. To painting the pin can be removed, and the hinge can be operated in a known manner.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Türfeststelleinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 anzugeben, die eine einfache und zuverlässige Feststellung eines Scharniers in bevorzugten Haltestellungen, insbesondere für die Lackierung von Fahrzeugtüren, ermöglicht.It is the object of the invention to provide a door locking device according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows a simple and reliable determination of a hinge in preferred holding positions, in particular for the painting of vehicle doors.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei der eingangs genannten Türfeststelleinrichtung erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the aforementioned door locking device according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Türfeststelleinrichtung ermöglicht das vorübergehende Verbinden mit einem Scharnier, um das Scharnier in ein oder mehreren Feststellpositionen provisorisch arretieren zu können, insbesondere für die Lackierung und Trocknung von Fahrzeugtüren. Hierbei wird die Handhabung mit automatisierten Sprühsystemen, die in der Art eines Roboters arbeiten, weitestgehend ohne manuelle Bedienung ermöglicht, da das Führungsglied innerhalb des Langlochs ohne manuelles Betätigen der Türfeststelleinrichtung verschiedene Öffnungsstellungen der Fahrzeugtür ermöglicht. Zugleich ist zweckmäßigerweise das Langloch beidendig geschlossen ausgebildet, so dass das Langloch mit einem geschlossenen Umfang den maximalen Schwenkwinkel der Fahrzeugtür begrenzt. Hierdurch wird wirksam verhindert, dass während des Lackierens die Tür eine Öffnungsstellung verläßt und gegen eine benachbarte Tür anschlägt.The door locking device according to the invention allows the temporary connection with a hinge in order to be able to provisionally lock the hinge in one or more locking positions, in particular for the Painting and drying of vehicle doors. Here, the handling of automated spray systems that work in the manner of a robot, largely possible without manual operation, since the guide member allows within the slot without manual operation of the door locking different opening positions of the vehicle door. At the same time, the slot is expediently designed to be closed at both ends, so that the slot with a closed circumference limits the maximum pivoting angle of the vehicle door. This effectively prevents the door from leaving an open position during painting and striking against an adjacent door.

Vorzugsweise weist das Langloch wenigstens eine Querschnittsverengung aus, einerseits derer eine bevorzugte Rastposition für das Führungsglied definiert ist, bei zwei Querschnittsverengungen entsprechend drei Rastpositionen, usw. Hierbei wird das Langloch im Bereich der Querschnittsverengung bei Passieren des Führungsgliedes etwas aufgeweitet und damit von einer Halteposition zur einer anderen Halteposition übergeben. Hierbei weist das Führungsglied vorzugsweise eine abgerundete Außenkontur, insbesondere die Gestalt eines zylindrischen Pins, zumindest in dem Bereich desjenigen Abschnitts, der die Öffnung des Halters durchsetzt, auf.Preferably, the slot has at least one cross-sectional constriction, on the one hand a preferred detent position is defined for the guide member, at two cross-sectional constrictions corresponding to three locking positions, etc. Here, the slot in the region of the cross-sectional constriction when passing the guide member is slightly widened and thus from a holding position to a pass another stop position. In this case, the guide member preferably has a rounded outer contour, in particular the shape of a cylindrical pin, at least in the region of that portion which passes through the opening of the holder on.

Das Langloch ist im Wesentlichen durch zu der Scharnierachse konzentrisch verlaufende Rippen begrenzt, die in das Langloch weisende Vorsprünge aufweisen, die - vorzugsweise paarweise - die Querschnittsverengungen definieren. Durch die Rippengestalt ist eine elastische Deformierbarkeit gegeben, die es ermöglicht, bei Passieren des Führungsgliedes das Langloch aufzuweiten, und insbesondere das Langloch relativ zu dem Führungsglied mit geringem Spiel und/oder mit Presspassung auszugestalten.The oblong hole is essentially delimited by ribs extending concentrically with respect to the hinge axis, which have projections pointing into the oblong hole, which-preferably in pairs-define the cross-sectional constrictions. By the rib shape an elastic deformability is given, which makes it possible to widen the slot when passing the guide member, and in particular to design the slot relative to the guide member with little play and / or with interference fit.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Halter lösbar an dem ersten Scharnierteil befestigbar, wobei das erste Scharnierteil vorzugsweise das der Fahrzeugtür zugeordnete Scharnierteil ist. Durch die Schwenkbewegung der Fahrzeugtür wird dann zweckmäßigerweise der Scharnierstift des Scharniers mitgenommen; alternativ kann der Scharnierstift auch in dem der Fahrzeugtür zugeordneten Scharnierteil mit Laufspiel, beispielsweise mittels einer Buchse, aufgenommen sein. Durch die Drehbewegung des ersten Scharnierteils wird der Halter mit verschwenkt, wobei die Verschwenkung des ersten Scharnierteils relativ zu dem zweiten Scharnierteil zugleich eine Verlagerung des Langlochs um das in dem zweiten Scharnierteil angeordnete Führungsglied bewirkt. Es versteht sich, dass der Verlauf des Langlochs durch den Abstand der Scharnierachse zu dem Führungsglied definiert ist, wobei der Halter in einer Schwenkbewegung um die Scharnierachse mit dem ersten Scharnierteil verlagert wird, so dass insgesamt das Langloch im Wesentlichen konzentrisch ausgebildet ist. Es ist möglich, dass bei bestimmten Ausgestaltungen die Scharnierachse, die in dem ersten Scharnierteil verläuft und einen Versatz zu der Achse in dem zweiten Scharnierteil aufweist, die Schwenkachse des Scharniers die in dem zweiten Scharnierteil definierte Schwenkachse ist. In diesem Fall wird der Verlauf des Langlochs entsprechend angepaßt.According to the invention, the holder is detachably attachable to the first hinge part, wherein the first hinge part is preferably the hinge part associated with the vehicle door. By the pivotal movement of the vehicle door, the hinge pin of the hinge is then carried along expediently; Alternatively, the hinge pin can also be accommodated in the hinge part associated with the vehicle door with running play, for example by means of a bushing. By the rotational movement of the first hinge part of the holder is pivoted, wherein the pivoting of the first hinge part relative to the second hinge part at the same time causes a displacement of the elongated hole around the guide member arranged in the second hinge part. It is understood that the course of the slot is defined by the distance of the hinge axis to the guide member, wherein the holder is displaced in a pivoting movement about the hinge axis with the first hinge part, so that overall the slot is formed substantially concentric. It is possible that in certain embodiments, the hinge axis, which extends in the first hinge part and has an offset to the axis in the second hinge part, the pivot axis of the hinge is the pivot axis defined in the second hinge part. In this case, the course of the slot is adjusted accordingly.

Der Halter weist zweckmäßigerweise eine weitere Öffnung zur Aufnahme eines die Scharnierachse definierenden Scharnierstifts auf, wobei hier ein Spiel vorgesehen sein kann für den Fall, dass im Bereich der Gewerbefläche, an der der Halter angebracht wird, eine Vernietung oder ein Kopf des Scharnierstifts vorgesehen ist. Im Wesentlichen erfolgt die Festlegung des Halters formschlüssig über Verbindungsmittel mit dem ersten Scharnierteil vorzugsweise über einen abgefalteten Abschnitt des Halters, der in eine Hinterschneidung des ersten Scharnierteils eingefaltet und dort formschlüssig gehalten ist.The holder expediently has a further opening for receiving a hinge pin defining the hinge axis, in which case a clearance may be provided in the event that riveting or a head of the hinge pin is provided in the area of the commercial area to which the holder is attached. In essence, the fixing of the holder takes place positively via connecting means with the first hinge part preferably via a folded-down portion of the holder, which is folded into an undercut of the first hinge part and held there in a form-fitting manner.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist zwischen dem Langloch und der weiteren Öffnung für die Aufnahme des Scharnierstifts eine Durchbrechung ausgebildet, die einen geschlossenen Umfang aufweist. Die Durchbrechung definiert in dem Halter eine zusätzliche Elastizität, ohne dass die Torsionssteifigkeit des Halters hierdurch nachhaltig herabgesetzt wird. Hierdurch wird insbesondere ermöglicht, dass eine zwischen der Durchbrechung und dem Langloch verlaufende Rippe einen Deformations- und Ausweichraum aufweist, die eine Verformung bei Durchlaufen des Führungsglieds ermöglicht. Die Durchbrechung ist einerseits an die Kontur des Langlochs und andererseits an die Kontur der weiteren Öffnung angenähert.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, an opening is formed between the slot and the further opening for receiving the hinge pin, which has a closed circumference. The aperture defines in the holder an additional elasticity, without the torsional stiffness of the holder is thereby sustainably reduced. This makes it possible in particular that an extending between the opening and the slot rib a deformation and Has alternate space that allows deformation when passing through the guide member. The opening is approximated on the one hand to the contour of the slot and on the other hand to the contour of the further opening.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Halter als Stanzteil aus Metallblech ausgebildet, wodurch eine technologisch einfache, kostengünstige Fertigung möglich ist. Darüber hinaus können solche Stanzteile aus Metallblech relativ hohe Haltemomente erzeugen, die erforderlich sind, um die Türfeststelleinrichtung in einer bevorzugten Haltelage auch bei Beanspruchung aufgrund des Eigengewichts der Fahrzeugtür zu halten. Alternativ ist es möglich den Halter als Kunststoffteil, beispielsweise im Spritzgußverfahren, herzustellen.Conveniently, the holder is formed as a stamped part of sheet metal, whereby a technologically simple, cost-effective production is possible. In addition, such stampings made of sheet metal can produce relatively high holding torques, which are required to keep the door locking device in a preferred holding position even under stress due to the dead weight of the vehicle door. Alternatively, it is possible to produce the holder as a plastic part, for example by injection molding.

Das als Stift ausgebildete Führungselement kann in einer passenden Werkstoffpaarung ausgewählt werden, wobei in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Stift aus Kunststoff besteht und nach dem Einsatz abgescherrt, in die Bohrung der zweiten Scharnierhälfte, in der diese aufgenommen ist, versenkt wird oder mit einem Greiffortsatz ausgebildet ist, der das Ziehen des Stiftes ohne Klemmwerkzeug ermöglicht.The trained as a pin guide element can be selected in a suitable material pairing, wherein in a preferred embodiment, the pin is made of plastic and abgescherrt after use, is sunk in the bore of the second hinge half in which it is received, or is formed with a gripping extension, which allows the drawing of the pin without clamping tool.

Die Türfeststelleinrichtung wird zweckmäßigerweise zur Festlegung einer Kraftwagentür in einer voreingestellten Öffnungslage während des Lackierens eingesetzt, wo eine möglichst automatisierte Handhabung aufgrund der unangenehmen Arbeitsbedingungen besonders wichtig ist. Hierbei ermöglicht die Türfeststelleinrichtung sowohl das sichere Halten der Fahrzeugtür in verschiedenen Öffnungswinkeln als auch das mit geringem Aufwand verbundene Hin und Her Verschwenken der Fahrzeugtür ausgehend von einer Halteposition in eine weitere Halteposition. Die Verlagerung erfolgt in besonders einfacher Weise durch Anstoßen der Fahrzeugtür unter zur Hilfenahme ihres Eigengewichtes, ohne dass hierzu manuelle Ein- oder Ausfädelvorgänge erforderlich sind.The door locking device is expediently used to establish a motor vehicle door in a preset opening position during painting, where a possible automated handling due to the unpleasant working conditions is particularly important. In this case, the door locking device enables both the secure holding of the vehicle door in different opening angles as well as the associated with little effort back and forth pivoting the vehicle door, starting from a holding position in a further holding position. The relocation is carried out in a particularly simple manner by bumping the vehicle door with the help of their own weight, without the need for manual input or Ausfädelvorgänge.

Vorzugsweise ist der Halter in Gestalt eines flachen Blechteils in Gestalt eines Winkelsegments ausgebildet, wobei insbesondere bei einer symmetrischen Ausgestaltung durch die konzentrische Anordnung des Langlochs der Halter in gleicher Weise für ein linkes wie für ein rechtes Scharnier einsetzbar ist.Preferably, the holder is in the form of a flat sheet metal part in the form of an angular segment, wherein in particular in a symmetrical Design is used by the concentric arrangement of the slot of the holder in the same way for a left as for a right hinge.

Die beiden wesentlichen Teile der Türfeststelleinrichtung, Halter und Führungsglied, können nach dem Lackieren ohne weiteres entfernt und - wahlweise nach Entlacken der Teile - erneut zum provisorischen Festlegen eines Scharniers eingesetzt werden. Vorzugsweise ist die Türfeststelleinrichtung jedoch derart kostengünstig, dass sie in der Herstellung günstiger ist, als es das Entlacken der Teile wäre.The two essential parts of the door locking device, holder and guide member, can be easily removed after painting and - either after repainting of the parts - are used again for provisionally fixing a hinge. Preferably, however, the door locking device is so inexpensive that it is cheaper to manufacture, as it would be the paint removal of the parts.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description and from the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegenden Zeichnungen anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung näher erläutert.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 1

Fig. 2
shows a plan view of the holder of the door locking device of FIG. 1st

Fig. 1 zeigt ein insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnetes Kraftfahrzeugtürscharnier, das ein erstes Scharnierteil 2 aufweist, das einer strichpunktiert angedeuteten Fahrzeugtür 3 zugeordnet ist und ein zweites Scharnierteil 4 aufweist, das einer strichpunktiert angedeuteten Türkonsole oder einem Türholm 5 zugeordnet ist. Die beiden Scharnierteile 2, 4 sind durch einen Scharnierstift 6, der das eine der beiden Scharnierteile 2, 4 mit Laufspiel durchsetzt und in dem anderen der beiden Scharnierteile 2, 4 drehfest eingesetzt ist, schwenkbar miteinander verbunden. Zur Feststellung der Fahrzeugtür 3 in verschiedenen Öffnungslagen ist das Scharnier 1 mit einer Türfeststelleinrichtung, die insgesamt mit 10 bezeichnet ist, ausgestattet.Fig. 1 shows a generally designated 1 motor vehicle door hinge having a first hinge part 2, which is associated with a dash-dotted line indicated vehicle door 3 and a second hinge part 4, which is associated with a dash-dotted lines indicated door bracket or a door spar 5. The two hinge parts 2, 4 are pivotally connected to one another by a hinge pin 6, which passes through one of the two hinge parts 2, 4 with running clearance and is non-rotatably inserted in the other of the two hinge parts 2, 4. To determine the vehicle door 3 in different opening positions, the hinge 1 is provided with a door locking device, which is designated overall by 10.

Die Türfeststelleinrichtung 10 umfaßt einen dem ersten Scharnierteil 2 zugeordneten Halter 11 und ein dem zweiten Scharnierteil 4 zugeordnetes Führungsglied 12. Das Führungsglied ist ein zylindrischer Stift, der in einer dem ersten Scharnierteil 2 zugekehrten Gewerbefläche 4a des zweiten Scharnierteils 4 in einer Bohrung eingesetzt ist und dessen Höhe derart bemessen ist, dass der Stift 12 den Halter 11 im Bereich eines Langlochs 13 durchsetzt. Der Stift 12 ist als Metallzylinder ausgebildet, und kann von einem Stangenmaterial abgetrennt werden. Es versteht sich, dass andere Ausgestaltungen eines Führungsglieds, beispielsweise mit vieleckigem Umfang oder ein nur im Bereich des Langlochs 13 zylindrisch ausgebildetes Führungsglied möglich ist.The door locking device 10 comprises a first hinge part 2 associated with the holder 11 and the second hinge part 4 associated guide member 12. The guide member is a cylindrical pin which is inserted in a first hinge part 2 facing commercial surface 4a of the second hinge part 4 in a bore and the Height is dimensioned such that the pin 12 passes through the holder 11 in the region of a slot 13. The pin 12 is formed as a metal cylinder, and can be separated from a bar material. It is understood that other embodiments of a guide member, for example with polygonal circumference or only in the region of the slot 13 cylindrically shaped guide member is possible.

Der Halter 13 ist als Stanzteil aus einem Blechmetall von ca. 2 mm Stärke hergestellt und ist im Wesentlichen flach ausgebildet. Hierbei weist der Halter 11 eine weitere, kreisrunde Öffnung 14 auf, die für den Durchtritt des Scharnierstifts 6 vorgesehen ist, sowie eine Durchbrechung 15, die zwischen der weiteren Öffnung 14 und dem Langloch 13 angeordnet ist und eine der weiteren Öffnung 14 zugekehrte Rippe 16 des Langlochs 13 begrenzt. Die Durchbrechung ist einerseits geometrisch an das Langloch 13 und andererseits an die kreisrunde weitere Öffnung 14 angepaßt.The holder 13 is made as a stamped part of a sheet metal metal of about 2 mm thickness and is substantially flat. Here, the holder 11 has a further, circular opening 14 which is provided for the passage of the hinge pin 6, and an opening 15 which is disposed between the further opening 14 and the slot 13 and a further opening 14 facing rib 16 of the Long hole 13 limited. The opening is adapted on the one hand geometrically to the slot 13 and on the other hand to the circular further opening 14.

Das Langloch 13 weist eine konzentrisch gemäß einem Kreissegmentabschnitt 13a verlaufende Gestalt auf, wobei der Kreisabschnitt konzentrisch zu einer Achse 6a des Scharnierstifts 6 bzw. der weiteren Öffnung 14 ausgebildet ist. Die beiden zur Scharnierachse 6a senkrechten Ebenen 6b bzw. 6c sind durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet.The oblong hole 13 has a shape running concentrically in accordance with a circular segment section 13a, wherein the circular section is formed concentrically to an axis 6a of the hinge pin 6 or the further opening 14. The two planes 6b and 6c, which are perpendicular to the hinge axis 6a, are indicated by dashed lines.

Das Langloch 13 weist drei Rastpositionen 21, 22, 23 auf, wobei die Halteposition 21 einer Öffnungsstellung der Tür um 5 Grad, die Stellung 22 einer Öffnungsposition der Tür um ca. 40 Grad und die Öffnungsposition 23 einer Öffnungsstellung von ca. 80 Grad entspricht. Der Umfang der Haltepositionen 21 bis 23 entspricht im Wesentlichen dem Außenumfang des Pins 12, so dass in den Haltepositionen im Wesentlichen eine formschlüssige Aufnahme gegeben ist. Hierbei sind zwei benachbarte Haltepositionen 21, 22 bzw. 22, 23 durch eine Querschnittsverengung voneinander getrennt, die durch sich paarweise gegenüberliegend ausgebildete Vorsprünge im Bereich der Rippe 16 bzw. der ihr gegenüber, den Außenbereich des Halters 11 begrenzenden weiteren Rippe 17 ausgebildet sind. Hierbei weist die weitere Rippe 17 zwei relativ flache Vorsprünge auf, die mit 17a, 17b bezeichnet sind, während die Rippe 16 zwei auf die Vorsprünge 17a, 17b gerichtete deutliche Vorsprünge 16a, 16b aufweist. Man erkennt, dass der Durchmesser des Abschnitts des Pins 12, der das Langloch 13 durchsetzt und der mit d12 bezeichnet ist, größer ist als die maximale Querschnittsverengung, die mit d13 in Fig. 1 bezeichnet ist.The slot 13 has three locking positions 21, 22, 23, wherein the holding position 21 of an open position of the door by 5 degrees, the position 22 of an opening position of the door by about 40 degrees and the opening position 23 corresponds to an open position of about 80 degrees. The circumference of the holding positions 21 to 23 substantially corresponds to the outer circumference of the Pins 12, so that in the holding positions is essentially given a positive reception. Here are two adjacent holding positions 21, 22 and 22, 23 separated by a cross-sectional constriction, which are formed by pairs oppositely formed projections in the region of the rib 16 and its opposite, the outer region of the holder 11 limiting further rib 17. In this case, the further rib 17 has two relatively flat projections, which are denoted by 17a, 17b, while the rib 16 has two distinct projections 16a, 16b directed towards the projections 17a, 17b. It can be seen that the diameter of the portion of the pin 12, which passes through the slot 13 and which is denoted by d 12 , is greater than the maximum cross-sectional constriction, which is denoted by d 13 in Fig. 1.

Man erkennt, dass der Halter 11 insgesamt die Gestalt eines Winkelsegments aufweist, wobei ein abfaltbarer Bereich 18 über das Segment übersteht, der abgefaltet werden kann und der eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem ersten Scharnierteil 2, zusammen mit der weiteren Öffnung 14, ermöglicht.It can be seen that the holder 11 has the overall shape of an angular segment, wherein a foldable region 18 protrudes beyond the segment, which can be folded off and which enables a positive connection with the first hinge part 2, together with the further opening 14.

Die Erfindung funktioniert nun wie folgt:The invention now works as follows:

Das Führungsglied 12 wird in einer Bohrung des zweiten Scharnierteils 4 festgelegt, und der Halter 11 wird gemäß der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Position an dem ersten Scharnierteil 2 sowie an dem Scharnierstift 6 festgelegt. Hierbei durchsetzt das Führungsglied 12 das Langloch 13 bei einer ersten, nahezu geschlossenen Position 21 der Tür. Während des Lackierens ist es erforderlich, die Fahrzeugtür 3 zu öffnen, wozu die Tür 3 mit dem ersten Scharnierteil 2 gegenüber dem an der Türsäule 5 befestigten zweiten Scharnierteil 4 verschwenkt wird. Hierbei wird der Halter 11 mitgenommen, wobei das Langloch 13 unter Aufweitung der Querschnittsverengungen 17a, 16a und 17b, 16b in eine in etwa um 80 Grad geöffnete Winkellage verlagert wird, die der Halteposition 23 entspricht. Es ist hierbei zu bemerken, dass die Halteposition 22 für den Lackiervorgang nicht zwingend benötigt wird, und daher bezüglich des Haltewinkels von ca. 40° ein Spiel aufweisen kann. Während des Lackierens, Trocknens, usw. sind nicht mehr als 10 bis 15 Belastungszyklen erforderlich, die von dem Halter 11 ohne weiteres ausgehalten werden.The guide member 12 is fixed in a bore of the second hinge part 4, and the holder 11 is fixed according to the position shown in Fig. 1 on the first hinge part 2 and on the hinge pin 6. Here, the guide member 12 passes through the slot 13 at a first, almost closed position 21 of the door. During painting, it is necessary to open the vehicle door 3, for which purpose the door 3 with the first hinge part 2 is pivoted relative to the second hinge part 4 fastened to the door pillar 5. Here, the holder 11 is entrained, wherein the slot 13 is displaced by widening the cross-sectional constrictions 17a, 16a and 17b, 16b in an approximately 80 degrees open angular position corresponding to the holding position 23. It should be noted here that the holding position 22 is not necessarily required for the painting process, and therefore with respect to the holding angle of about 40 ° may have a game. During the Painting, drying, etc. are required no more than 10 to 15 load cycles, which are easily endured by the holder 11.

Nach dem Lackieren wird die durch die Türfeststelleinrichtung 10 bewirkte provisorischen Öffnungslage nicht mehr benötigt, so dass der Halter 11 und das Führungsglied 12 von dem Scharnier 1 abgetrennt werden.After painting, the provisional opening position caused by the door locking device 10 is no longer needed, so that the holder 11 and the guide member 12 are separated from the hinge 1.

Ein besonderer Vorteil der Türfeststelleinrichtung 10 besteht somit darin, dass die Elastizität der Türfeststelleinrichtung bzw. des Halters 11 genutzt wird, um die Tür 3 festzustellen. Ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil besteht darin, dass die mechanische Beanspruchung im Wesentlichen in der horizontalen Ebene des flachen Halters 11 und damit radial zu der Scharnierachse 6a erfolgt. Weiterhin können mehrere Zyklen zum Öffnen und Schließen der Türfeststelleinrichtung ohne manuelles Eingreifen gefahren werden.A particular advantage of the door locking device 10 is thus that the elasticity of the door locking device or the holder 11 is used to determine the door 3. Another particular advantage is that the mechanical stress takes place substantially in the horizontal plane of the flat holder 11 and thus radially to the hinge axis 6a. Furthermore, several cycles for opening and closing the door locking device can be moved without manual intervention.

Die Erfindung ist vorstehend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben worden, bei dem das Langloch 13 Haltepositionen 21, 23 insbesondere in seinen beiden Endstellungen aufweist, und bei dem das Lackieren in diesen beiden Endstellungen erfolgt. Es ist aber möglich, eine intermediere Stellung ebenfalls für das Lackieren oder für das Trocknen vorzusehen.The invention has been described above with reference to an embodiment in which the slot 13 holding positions 21, 23 in particular in its two end positions, and in which the painting takes place in these two end positions. However, it is possible to provide an intermediate position also for painting or for drying.

Das vorstehende Ausführungsbeispiel ist anhand eines doppelt abgefalteten Bereichs 18 dargestellt worden, die in einen entsprechenden Ausschnitt des ersten Scharnierteils 2 eindringt und den Halter 11 gegenüber dem ersten Scharnierteil 2 fixiert. Es versteht sich, dass alternativ auch der Halter 11 auf andere Weise an dem ersten Scharnierteil 2 lösbar befestigt sein kann.The above embodiment has been illustrated with reference to a double-folded portion 18 which penetrates into a corresponding section of the first hinge part 2 and fixes the holder 11 with respect to the first hinge part 2. It is understood that alternatively, the holder 11 can be releasably secured to the first hinge part 2 in another way.
