Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coded wrench for a theft-proof rim of a motor vehicle and associated coded screw according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a coded wrench and an associated coded screw are from the DE 197 08 948 A1 known.
  • wheel nuts or bolts which serve to secure the rim to a wheel hub of the motor vehicle, are provided with an encrypted drive region, at least one of them. So they can not be rotated with normal wrenches, in particular not be solved.
  • the invention has the following object:
  • the coded wrench should be provided for a particular form of rim protection, namely for rims, which have a cap which covers the wheel nuts or screws so that they are not accessible.
  • the cap is held by a coded screw part, which is generally designed as a coded screw on the rim.
  • the coded wrench is provided. If it is possible to solve the coded screw, you can generally solve the wheel nuts or screws.
  • the coding of the screw ie its protection against free rotation, is the crucial part of the anti-theft device.
  • the practical application of the wrench must be possible simple.
  • the wrench must also be put on manually unskilled man so easy on the screw, for example, even in poor lighting conditions and circumstances, such as these occur in a puncture near a busy road. It should be noted that the wrench is used only relatively rarely and generally often long time in the car remains.
  • the DE 20 2005 016 637 U describes a wrench which is made in one piece from a plastic, the cross section of the pins is limited in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation a) of a semicircle whose center lies on a radial through the axis of rotation, which has a vertex which is closer to the axis of rotation b) two side lines connecting tangentially to the semicircle's arc ends and running parallel to the radial; and c) an outer end line.
  • the invention has the object of developing the coded wrench of the type mentioned in that it is easier and less expensive to produce and better in use, in particular easier to handle. Preferably, it should also be designed stainless.
  • the pins When placing the wrench on the associated screw the pins engage over the projecting, central guide projection and come into contact with the side edge of this guide projection. With their free ends, the pins are then on top of the body of the screw on, namely on a radial surface of the body of the screw, unless they are accidentally in the correct position and engage in the pockets. In general, the pins in this state have not yet intervened in the pockets of the screw, at least there is a greater likelihood that they have not intervened. So that the pins can engage in the pockets, the wrench now only about its own axis, which is then centered to the axis of the screw to be rotated until the intervention takes place. Overall, therefore, a centering is achieved by interaction of the pins and the guide projection. The wrench only needs to be turned to engage. Without such centering would be the finding of the pins in the pockets of the screw connected with much more effort, it would require a considerable manual skill.
  • the wrench can be as far as possible, preferably completely produced in a single operation in the injection molding. Since it is made of plastic, it can not rust, it is also relatively light. The wrench according to the invention therefore has considerable advantages in practical use. It is not necessary to protect a wrench made entirely of plastic from rusting and there is no risk that the cover flap will be adversely affected by rusted pins.
  • the pins are non-cylindrical and / or not formed as separate parts.
  • the pins preferably have a substantially semi-oval cross-sectional shape. This is in particular at the junction with the base. In practical use of the wrench occur in the plane of the base surface, the highest shear forces. There is now the connecting surface of the pins with the base body significantly larger than in the prior art, for example, twice as large. The pins can therefore absorb high forces.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the pins corresponds to the corresponding pockets of the associated coded screw part.
  • the pins have a constant cross section over their height measured parallel to the axis of rotation. It is advantageous if the outer end line of the pins is concentric with a shell of the cylindrical base body, preferably slightly offset inwardly relative to this shell. Preferably, the centers of the semicircles of the at least two pins lie on a circular arc about the axis of rotation. The coding is done by different distribution of the pins.
  • the wrench on a centric, rotationally symmetrical receiving bore, which is located within the pins. It takes on the guide projection when the wrench is attached to the screw.
  • a precursor is produced, which forms the actuating portion and the cylindrical base body, but does not have the at least two pins.
  • the pins are cylindrical, generally they are cut from a round solid material.
  • the pins can be placed in an injection mold and the rest of the screw can be made by injection molding, while the pins are molded around and thus partially embedded.
  • the screw is preferably made of a metal. It has the threaded portion, which is preferably designed as a screw bolt. This forms an axial end of the screw.
  • the other axial end of the screw is formed by the guide projection, which is adapted to the receiving bore.
  • This receiving hole protrudes from a body, in this body, the pockets are provided.
  • This radial surface is designed so that it is smooth, so that the pins can slide along a circular line on it. This makes it possible for the pins to be moved along the body without encountering an obstacle during this movement, and finally to fall into the pockets.
  • the wrench has a guide sleeve which forms an inner guide surface.
  • the guide sleeve engages over the edges of the pins. It also covers the pins when viewed from the side of the wrench, at least it covers the pins substantially. It is adapted to the body of the screw.
  • the guide sleeve protrudes as far as the pins.
  • the pins are identical to each other.
  • the guide sleeve engages over the body of the screw.
  • the guide surface of the guide sleeve rests against a peripheral surface of the body of the screw.
  • the inner guide surface of the wrench is conical.
  • the guide edge of the body of the screw is conically tapered.
  • the plug-in area is made of a plastic, which is armored with at least 20%, preferably 40% with reinforcing threads, such as glass fibers.
  • the rest of the wrench can be made of the same plastic, but possibly without reinforcement.
  • the entire wrench is made of the reinforced material.
  • a polyamide 66 filled with 43% by volume of glass fibers e.g. ZYTEL 70G43L used.
  • the central receiving bore extends only slightly opposite to the base surface down, for example by 0.3 to 2 mm.
  • the axial guide projection protrudes 0.5 to 2 mm, in particular 0.8 mm, in the direction of the axis of rotation relative to the body of the screw part.
  • the wrench has an actuating portion 20 which is formed substantially T-shaped.
  • the crossbeam of the T offers a handle with which you can grasp and operate the wrench.
  • the trunk of the T connects this handle to a cylindrical base body 22.
  • This cylindrical base body 22 is part of a plug-in area 24.
  • the cylindrical base body has a lower base area 26 which is a circular area.
  • the mounting hole is slightly conical, it widens towards the lower end of the wrench. It has an axial depth of about 0.8 mm.
  • the bottom floor is level.
  • the pins 28 project downwards parallel to the direction of the rotation axis 32. They have constant cross section over their height.
  • the cross section is substantially the shape of a half oblong oval. More precisely, the cross section is bounded by a semicircle whose center lies on a circular arc 52 and also on a radial. The semicircle has a vertex lying on the radial and the axis of rotation 32 is closer than the remaining points of the semicircle.
  • the semicircle 34 has bow ends, where the semicircle stops. At each end of the arc, the semicircle is continued tangentially by a sideline, the two side lines run parallel to each other, they also run parallel to the radial.
  • each pin Radially outward, the cross section of each pin is bounded by a termination line. It connects the side lines at their outer end points and runs concentrically to a jacket 50 of the cylindrical base body 22, it extends slightly slightly inwardly offset to the jacket, it has almost the same diameter as the jacket 50.
  • the centers of the three pins 28 are located on the Circular arc 52 about the axis of rotation 32nd
  • a guide sleeve 54 projects from the base body 22 in the same direction as the pins 28 downwards. It jumps slightly forward than the pins 28, by about 0.2 to 1 mm, preferably by about 0.5 mm.
  • This guide sleeve 54 forms an apron or a skirt. It has an inner guide surface 56, which is conical, it widens with a cone angle smaller than 30 °, z. B. 10 ° to 20 °, to the outside. With this guide sleeve 54, the pins 28 are connected. Pins 28 and guide sleeve 54 support each other mechanically.
  • the guide sleeve 54 is located outside a circle completing the above-described semicircle around the centers of the pins.
  • the guide sleeve 54 is bounded externally by the jacket 50.
  • the guide sleeve 54 extends the cladding region of the cylindrical base body 22 downwardly.
  • the second embodiment has not integrally with the remaining parts of the wrench related pins 28, but separate pins, which are substantially cylindrical and which are inserted into pin bores 58.
  • the receiving bore 30 is located within these pin holes 58, it is smaller by at least a fraction of a millimeter.
  • the diameter of the receiving bore 30 should be smaller than the Inn Vietnamese of the pins 28 in both embodiments, it may preferably be 95 - 99% of the diameter of the Innnikes.
  • the screw has a threaded portion 70, which is designed for example as M8 thread, for example, it is about 24 mm long. It is adjoined by a screw head at the top, which will be discussed and explained below. He has starting from the threaded portion 70, first a flat disc 72, which forms the largest diameter of the screw. Above this disc 72 is a body 74, which has a substantially truncated cone shape. In this body are pockets 76, in the embodiment, there are three pockets 76, incorporated as upwardly and radially outwardly open indentations.
  • the pockets 76 are adapted to the pins 28, here is the coding in a known manner. Due to the fact that the pockets 76 are open radially outward, they can receive both the pins 28 of the first embodiment and the pins 28 of the second embodiment.
  • the body 74 is closed by a substantially planar radial surface 75.
  • the free ends of the pins 28 are normally on when the wrench is placed on the screw. The free ends can then slide along this surface 75 and enter the pockets 76.
  • an axial guide projection 80 projects approximately 0.5 to 1.5 mm outwards. He also tapers slightly upwards on his outer jacket.
  • the outer jacket has a diameter which is only slightly smaller than an inner circle 34 of the pins 28, in particular in its region of greatest diameter and thus its lowest point, ie in the vicinity of the radial surface 75. For example, the diameter is 99 to 95% of the diameter of the Inn Vietnamesees 34. Then slip the pins when placing the wrench on the screw on the shell along and center on this.
  • the conical design of the guide projection 80 facilitates the attachment. When the wrench is attached and then something is rotated, a position is reached in which the pins 28 can engage in the pockets 76.
  • the fit significantly facilitates locating the pins 28 in the pockets 76. If the guide projection 80 were not present, that is, if the body 74 were closed at the top, for example, only by the smooth radial surface 75, then the guide according to the invention would not be present when turning the wrench relative to the screw member and the insertion of the pins 28 into the pockets 76 would be cumbersome.
