Dadurch ist das erfindungsgemäße. Schloss zum einen bei ausreichender Belastbarkeit verhältnisnmäßig leicht, und zum anderen ist durch den verformbaren Ausgleichspuffer sowie die verschiedenen einstellbaren Abstandsstufen in der relativen Bewegungsrichtung der Einbauteile ein Toleranzausgleich zwischen den Einbauteilen erzielt.The fact that in the lock according to the invention, the mounting parts are made of plastic and a resilient, in the locked arrangement of the mounting parts acting on the fixtures bias voltage generating buffer exists, acts between the mounting parts only a tensile load, however, are easily absorbed even with built-in plastic material can, without the locking arrangements of the built-in parts must be designed excessively strong. As a result, the inventive. Lock on the one hand with sufficient load capacity comparatively easily, and on the other hand, a tolerance compensation between the built-in parts is achieved by the deformable balance buffer and the various adjustable spacing steps in the relative direction of movement of the mounting parts.

Das Karosserieeinbauteil 2 ist zum Verhindern von Lackschäden durch den Ausgleichspuffer 7 mit einer in etwa halbkreisförmigen Andruckschutzplatte 23 ausgebildet, die eine randseitig geöffnete, in etwa rechteckförmige Ausnehmung aufweist. An einer Flachseite der Andruckschutzplatte 23 ist an dem Rand der Ausnehmung ein Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 angesetzt. Auf der dem Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Andruckschutzplatte 23 sind an dem Rand der Ausnehmung zwei einander gegenüberliegende und sich von der Andruckschutzplatte 23 weg sowie aufeinander zu erstreckende Verzahnungsfortsätze 25 angeformt, die Fixierlippen 26 aufweisen. An der von der Andruckschutzplatte 23 wegweisenden Seite ist an dem Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 eine Rastzunge 27 zum Verbinden mit der Karosserie als Gegenstück angeformt. Durch Anheben der Rastzunge 27 ist das Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 wieder von der Karosserie abnehmbar.The body-mounting part 2 is designed to prevent paint damage by the compensating buffer 7 with an approximately semicircular Andruckschutzplatte 23 having an edge open, approximately rectangular recess. On a flat side of the Andruckschutzplatte 23 a Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 is attached to the edge of the recess. On the side opposite the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 side of Andruckschutzplatte 23 are at the edge of the recess two opposing and formed by the Andruckschutzplatte 23 away and mutually extending Verzahnungsfortsätze 25, the fixing lips 26 have. At the side facing away from the Andruckschutzplatte 23 side of the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 a latching tongue 27 is integrally formed for connection to the body as a counterpart. By lifting the latching tongue 27, the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 is removable from the body again.

Eine Verriegelungsanordnung des Karosserieeinbauteiles 2 verfügt bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als längliches Verriegelungselement über einen länglichen, für einen Links/Rechtseinbau mit beidseitig abstehenden Vorsprüngen ausgebildeten Verriegelungshaken 28. Der Verriegelungshaken 28 ist an einem Ende eines Schaftes 29 mit einem im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt angesetzt, der sich in der Anordnung gemäß Fig. 1 durch die Ausnehmung der Andruckschutzplatte 23 bis in das Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 erstreckt. Der Schaft 29 ist mit einer Anzahl von Fixierrippen 30 ausgebildet, die sich zueinander parallel entlang der Flachseiten des Schaftes 29 erstrecken und bei Einrühren des Schaftes 29 in die Ausnehmung der Andruckschutzplatte 23 mit in dem Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 ausgebildeten Fixierlippen 26 in Eingriff kommen, so dass der Abstand des Verriegelungshakens 28 von der Andruckschutzplatte 23 in Abstandsstufen einstellbar und der Schaft 29 gegen Bewegung in Längsrichtung gesichert ist.A locking arrangement of the body mounting part 2 has in the illustrated embodiment as an elongated locking element over an elongated, for a left / right installation The locking hook 28 is attached to one end of a shaft 29 having a substantially rectangular cross section, which in the arrangement according to FIG Fig. 1 extends through the recess of the Andruckschutzplatte 23 into the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24. The shaft 29 is formed with a number of fixing ribs 30 which extend parallel to each other along the flat sides of the shank 29 and upon stirring the shaft 29 into the recess of the Andruckschutzplatte 23 with trained in the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 fixing lips 26 engage, so that the Distance of the locking hook 28 of the Andruckschutzplatte 23 adjustable in intervals and the shaft 29 is secured against movement in the longitudinal direction.

Weiterhin ist Fig. 1 zu entnehmen, dass bei ordnungsgemäßen Einführen des Schaftes 29 in die Ausnehmung der Andruckschutzplatte 23 mit Griffenden ausgebildete Arretierzungen 31 das Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 hintergreifen, so dass dadurch der Schaft 29 weiterhin gegen Bewegung entgegen der Einführrichtung gesichert ist. Zum Entnehmen des Schaftes 29 aus diesem Eingriff müssen die Arretierzungen 31 bis zur Freigabe des Schaftes 29 zusammengedrückt werden, so dass der Schaft 29 aus dem Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 entgegen der Einführrichtung herausgezogen werden kann.Furthermore is Fig. 1 can be seen that with proper insertion of the shaft 29 in the recess of the Andruckschutzplatte 23 formed with handle ends locking tongues 31 engage behind the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 so that thereby the shaft 29 is further secured against movement against the insertion direction. To remove the shaft 29 from this engagement, the locking tongues 31 must be compressed until the release of the shaft 29, so that the shaft 29 can be pulled out of the Hakenfixiergehäuse 24 counter to the insertion direction.

Fig. 2 zeigt im Schnitt das Klappeneinbauteil 1 und das Karosserieeinbauteil 2 gemäß Fig. 1 in einer verriegelten Anordnung, in der die Verriegelungszunge 21 den Verriegelungshaken 28 hintergreift. Fig. 2 ist zu entnehmen, dass in dieser Anordnung der Ausgleichspuffer 7 im Bereich seines freien Endes verhältnismäßig stark verformt ist, so dass durch die dadurch auf die Andruckschutzplatte 23 ausgeübte, entgegen der Einführrichtung des Schaftes 29 in den Gehäuseschacht 22 wirkende Rückstellkraft der Schaft 29 lediglich auf Zug belastet ist. Fig. 2 shows in section the flap fitting 1 and the body fitting 2 according to Fig. 1 in a locked arrangement in which the locking tongue 21 engages behind the locking hook 28. FIG. 2 It can be seen that in this arrangement, the compensating buffer 7 is deformed relatively strong in the region of its free end, so that by acting on the Andruckschutzplatte 23, counter to the insertion of the shaft 29 acting in the housing shaft 22 restoring force of the shaft 29 only to train is charged.

Aus Fig. 2 ist weiterhin ersichtlich, dass der Ausgleichspuffer 7 durch seine elastische Verformbarkeit in Längsrichtung des Schaftes 29 einen gewissen Toleranzausgleich für dessen Positionierung schafft. Zusätzlich lässt sich durch die Positionierung der Schaftes 29 in Längsrichtung die durch den Ausgleichspuffer 7 ausgeübte Rückstellkraft und damit die Festigkeit des Eingriffes zwischen der Verriegelungszunge 21 sowie dem Verriegelungshaken 28 verhältnismäßig genau einstellen. Dabei dient ein an dem Zwischensteg 9 angesetzter und sich in Richtung des Vordersteges erstreckender Nockenvorsprung 32 als Rückanschlag für den Vordersteg 10.Out Fig. 2 is also apparent that the compensation buffer 7 creates a certain tolerance compensation for its positioning by its elastic deformability in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 29. In addition, can be adjusted relatively accurately by the positioning of the shaft 29 in the longitudinal direction, the restoring force exerted by the balance buffer 7 and thus the strength of the engagement between the locking tongue 21 and the locking hook 28. Here, an attached to the gutter 9 and extending in the direction of the front web cam projection 32 serves as a back stop for the front web 10th

Weiterhin ist Fig. 2 zu entnehmen, dass der Entriegelungshebel 15 über einen Gelenkverbindungssteg 33 verfügt, der sich von einer dem Zungenblatt 19 gegenüberliegenden Verstärkungsplatte 34 in Richtung der Basisplatte 3 erstreckt. Die Verstärkungsplatte 34 ist über Abstandstege 35 mit dem Zungenblatt 19 verbunden. An dem von der Verstärkungsptatte 34 wegweisenden Ende des Gelenkverbindungssteges 33 ist eine Gelenkpfanne 36 ausgebildet, die mit einem an der Basisplatte 3 angeformten Widerlager 37 in Eingriff ist. Ein an dem Zungenblatt 19 ausgebildeter Anschlagsvorsprung 38 schlägt in der Schließstellung an die Innenseite der Karosserie an. Ankerfüße 39 dienen der Befestigung des Klappeneinbauteiles 1 in wenigstens einem dem Befestigungshaken 4 gegenüberliegenden Bereich.Furthermore is Fig. 2 It can be seen that the release lever 15 has a hinge connecting web 33 which extends from a reinforcing plate 34 opposite the tongue blade 19 in the direction of the base plate 3. The reinforcing plate 34 is connected to the tongue blade 19 via spacer webs 35. At the end facing away from the reinforcing mat 34 end of the hinge connecting web 33, a joint socket 36 is formed, which is in engagement with an integrally formed on the base plate 3 abutment 37. A formed on the tongue blade 19 stop projection 38 abuts in the closed position to the inside of the body. Anchor feet 39 are used to attach the flap fitting part 1 in at least one region opposite the fastening hook 4.

Zum Freigeben des Verriegelungshakens 28 ist auf die Betätigungszunge 16 in Richtung der Basisplatte 3 entgegen der Federkraft der Hebelfederzunge 20 eine Druckkraft auszuüben, bis der Eingriff der Verriegelungszunge 21 mit dem Verriegelungshaken 28 gelöst ist. Unmittelbar nach dem Lösen dieses Eingriffs relaxiert der Ausgleichspuffer 7 und entfernt das Klappeneinbauteil 1 sowie das Karosserieeinbauteil 2 voneinander, so dass bei dem erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel die Motorhaube einen gewissen Abstand von der Karosserie aufweist und von Hand geöffnet werden kann.To release the locking hook 28 is on the actuating tongue 16 in the direction of the base plate 3 against the spring force of the lever spring tongue 20 exert a compressive force until the engagement of the locking tongue 21 is released with the locking hook 28. Immediately after releasing this engagement, the equalizing buffer 7 relaxes and removes the flap fitting 1 and the body fitting 2 from each other, so that in the illustrated embodiment, the hood has a certain distance from the body and can be opened by hand.

Schließlich sind in Fig. 2 auch die in Zusammenhang mit den Erläuterungen zu Fig. 1 erwähnten Fixierlippen 26 deutlich erkennbar, mit der der Schaft 29 des Verriegelungshakens 28 über Eingriff mit den Fixierrippen 30 in den bei dem erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel diskreten Abstandsstufen positionierbar ist.Finally, in Fig. 2 also in connection with the explanations to Fig. 1 mentioned fixing lips 26 clearly visible, with which the shaft 29 of the locking hook 28 can be positioned via engagement with the fixing ribs 30 in the discrete in the illustrated embodiment spacing stages.
