The mounted position-fixing means (29; 50; 62) is disengaged from the driving rod (2) as a result of the fastening forces occurring when the driving rod-guiding mechanism (3; 41; 60) is mounted in order to retain the driving rod-guiding mechanism (3; 41; 60) on the window, door, or the like. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.

Description

The invention relates to a drive rod assembly for a window, a door or the like, with at least one drive rod and at least one driving rod guide device which can be fastened to the window, on the door or the like, as well as with a mounting position fixing means which cooperates to specify a mounting position with the drive rod.

From the German patent application 197 09 283 A1 a drive rod assembly of the type mentioned is known. A drive rod has at least one guide slot, which is penetrated by a drive rod guide device. Further, the drive rod guide device overcuts a portion of the top of the drive rod. The driving rod guiding device is fixed to a window, a door or the like by means of a fastening screw. When mounting is to ensure that the drive rod guide device relative to the drive rod a predetermined mounting position for a sufficient freedom of movement of the drive rod. To specify this mounting position, the driving rod guide device on a holding projection which engages in a recess of the guide slot. Thus, the relative position of the drive rod guide device is fixed to the drive rod. After completion of the assembly work, the retaining projection is demolished when first operating the drive rod, since he has fulfilled his task to specify the mounting position. In this first actuation can apply considerable loads on the drive rod assembly by the applied tear forces, especially if a relatively large number of Driving rod guide devices is provided at a correspondingly long drive rod.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a drive rod assembly of the type mentioned above, which has a desired relative position of the drive rod guide device and drive rod during assembly achieved to specify a mounting position, but high Erstbetätigungskräfte must not be applied to the displacement of the drive rod.

This object is achieved in that the Montageestellungsfixiermittel passes through the mounting forces occurring during assembly of the Treibstangenführungsvorrichtung for holding the drive rod guide device on the window, on the door or the like out of engagement with the drive rod. The mounting position fixing means, when mounting the drive rod assembly, predetermines the relative position between the rod guide device and the drive rod, so that a mounting position necessary for proper operation (sufficient displacement of the drive rod) is achieved. At the beginning of the assembly work, the specification of the mounting position (relative position between the rod guide device and drive rod) is necessary. It is achieved in that a mounting position fixation means predetermines the relative position between drive rod and drive rod guide device. At the end of the assembly work, when the mounting position has been taken and now only the fixing of the drive rod guide device to the window, the door or the like is complete, the specification of the mounting position is no longer required because the driving rod guide device already on the desired Relativort to the drive rod is located. According to the invention, when fastening forces are applied to hold the driving rod guide device to the window, door or the like, for example by tightening a fastening screw, these tightening forces cause them not only to fix the driving rod guiding device but simultaneously to the mounting position fixing means act such that it comes out of engagement with the drive rod, whereby the default position of the drive rod guide device is no longer fixed relative to the drive rod. Consequently, at the end of assembly, the drive rod guide device is in the desired position relative to the drive rod and fixed to the window, door or the like, with no fixing connection between the drive rod and the guide rod guide device. In the first actuation of the drive rod therefore no more than the usual operating forces outgoing displacement forces are applied.

According to a development of the invention it is provided that the mounting position fixing means cooperates with a fixing recess of the drive rod. The mounting position fixing means engages in the fixing recess of the drive rod and therefore determines the relative position between the drive rod guide device and the drive rod.

It is advantageous if the drive rod has at least one guide slot. This guide slot serves to guide the drive rod by the drive rod guide device with a portion passes through the guide slot and therefore exerts a guiding function.

It is also advantageous if the guide slot of the drive rod is penetrated by a guide web of the drive rod guide device. This guide web defines the drive rod position transversely to its longitudinal extent and nevertheless allows a displacement of the drive rod in the direction of its longitudinal extent.

According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the fixing recess is associated with the guide slot. The guide slot thus has on at least one of its peripheral edges on the Fixierausnehmung, in which - in the time before completion of the assembly work - the mounting position fixing engages, whereby the drive rod guide device is assigned in the desired position of the drive rod.

It is also advantageous if the fixing recess is a Führungsschlitzausnehmung. This means that the guide slot mitausbildet in particular by a lateral recess, such as a slot edge offset, the Fixierausnehmung.

According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the driving rod guide device has holding means which catch a portion of the upper side of the drive rod. As a result, the drive rod is guided at its top. The underside of the drive rod is preferably supported on corresponding guide surfaces of the drive rod guide device, so that an all-round position securing the drive rod takes place and nevertheless a drive rod displacement in the longitudinal extension of the drive rod is possible.

A development of the invention provides, the holding means on a fastening screw guide element, in particular a fastening screw guide sleeve, train. The fastening screw guide member belongs to the driving rod guide device and allows the guidance of the drive rod, in particular on its upper side. The fastening screw guide element thus performs a double function, in which it on the one hand receives a fastening screw for fixing the drive rod guide device on the window, on the door or the like and on the other hand exerts leadership functions on the drive rod.

It can preferably be provided that the mounting position fixing means is acted upon by the holding means for disengaging from the at least one fixing recess. If the drive rod guide device is fixed with a fastening screw on the window, on the door or the like, the mounting screw guide element, in particular its holding means, acts on the mounting position fixing means such that it is forced out of the fixing recess of the drive rod, with the result that the pre-positioning of the drive rod guide device on the Driving rod is lifted.

It is advantageous if the mounting position fixing means are arranged deformable, displaceable and / or torn off on the drive rod guide device. The displacement of the mounting position fixing means to disengage from the drive rod is therefore effected by deformation, displacement or separation, the forces to be applied thereto being applied from the attachment forces for holding the drive rod guide device on the window, door or the like. A deformation can in particular be realized by the mounting position fixing means via a bridge web or the like is attached to a main body of the driving rod guide device and that the bridge web deformed by the fastening forces due to a displacement of the mounting position fixing means and the drive rod is no longer fixed by the mounting position fixing means. Also, a pure displacement is possible, for example, when the mounting position fixing means is frictionally held on the driving rod guide device and displaced by the fastening forces. The aforementioned tearing off can be realized, for example, in that the mounting position fixing means is acted upon by the fastening forces in such a way that a connection to the main body tears off and the mounting position fixing means therefore assume a position which is no longer fixed, whereby the drive rod is no longer fixed. Preferably, a plurality, in particular two, mounting position fixing means are provided, which are designed as described above.

Furthermore, at least one squeeze stop is preferably provided, with which the holding means, in particular the fastening screw guide element, are / is supported in a pre-assembly position in which the mounting position fixing means are in engagement with the fixing recess. If the drive rod guide device is fixed in the preassembly position on the window, on the door or the like, it holds the drive rod in a fixed position, since the mounting position fixing means are in engagement with the drive rod. By the driving rod guide device, the drive rod is further associated with the window, the door or the like, so that a total of a coherently manageable unit is present. In this situation, connection elements can be easily connected to the drive rod, since it assumes a defined position. Undesirable length or transverse displacements of the drive rod are avoided. Are the transport and / or assembly work completed in terms of connecting the drive rod, so by applying Endbefestigungskräften, ie forces to complete the assembly to leave the pre-assembly and achieve the final assembly position, applied forces that deform the squeeze stop, in such a way that the holding means reach their final position, whereby the mounting position fixing means are disengaged from the fixing recess and therefore at the end of assembly the driving rod guide device is fixed to the window, door or the like in the desired mounting position and there is no more fixing of the driving rod.

According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the mounting position fixing means of driving rod guide device side guide walls of the driving rod guide device receiving window, door or the like for disengaging from the Fixierausnehmung can be acted upon. The drive rod guide device is inserted into the frame when mounted to the window, door or the like, being aligned and / or positioned by side guide walls of a groove recess or a drive rod guide receptacle of the frame or window, door or the like. By appropriate design of the mounting position fixing means, this can cooperate with at least one of the driving rod guide side guide walls such that it due to the mounting forces occurring during assembly of the driving rod guide device for holding the driving rod guide device, in particular by the introduction of the driving rod guide device in the frame or in a driving rod guide device receptacle to disengage from the Fixierausnehmung can be acted upon. The drive rod guide device used in the mounting of the drive rod assembly in the recess is further pressed into the recess, for example, due to the attachment forces occurring, whereby the mounting position fixing is acted upon by one of the drive rod guide side guide walls and thus disengaged from the Fixierausnehmung.

Advantageously, the drive rod guide device with the holding means, the guide web and the mounting position fixing means or the mounting position fixing means is integrally formed. The drive rod guide device can be made in a simple manner as a simple component of the drive rod assembly and in particular easily handled, which in particular the assembly of the drive rod assembly is simplified.

Advantageously, the holding means in at least one orientation of the drive rod guide device to the drive rod through the guide slot - for releasing or arranging the drive rod guide device on the drive rod - through movable. This is particularly important for the one-piece design of the drive rod guide device described above, since now the mounting of the drive rod guide device from two sides of the drive rod is no longer possible. The holding means are therefore shaped such that they are in the assembly position or in the at least one orientation of the drive rod guide device through the guide slot movable / feasible.

Advantageously, the drive rod guide device is rotatable in the guide slot about the guide web to displace the holding means in or out of the overlapping position. After the passage of the holding means through the guide slot latter are brought by rotation, in particular by 90 °, to the guide bar in its overlapping position to the drive rod. In its overlapping position, the holding means overlaps a section of the upper side of the drive rod, as described above, the drive rod guide device now in particular being arranged / held on the drive rod in a form-fitting manner by the one-piece design. By a further rotational movement of this positive connection, by displacing the holding means from the Überfangposition out solved.

Advantageously, the guide web can be shortened for introducing the mounting position fixing means into the fixing recess. In this way, the mounting position fixing can be introduced in a simple manner translationally / linearly in the fixing recess of the drive rod. The guide web penetrating through the guide slot of the drive rod can be shortened, for example, by being pressed into the drive rod guide device or into a base body of the drive rod guide device. Preferably, the guide bar is materially connected to the rest of the driving rod guide device or the base body, wherein the cohesive connection can be destroyed by pressing the guide bar. Advantageously, the driving rod guide device has a corresponding guide web receiving, in which the guide web can be inserted. Advantageously, the guide web and the guide web recording are designed such that after insertion of the guide bar is held in the guide bar recording the guide bar frictionally in the guide bar recording, so that the driving rod guide device is securely locked to the drive rod and the positive connection described above does not accidentally dissolves, so that the mounting position fixing is securely held in the Fixierausnehmung.

Advantageously, the guide bar can be shortened by destroying a cohesive, non-positive or positive connection.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the erection, the holding means are deformable and / or displaceable on the driving rod guide device. Particularly preferably, the holding means are elastically deformable and / or displaceable. By a corresponding shaping of the holding means, these can be used to attach the drive rod guide device to the drive rod by applying a bias voltage. The bias ensures that the mounting position fixing means is held in the fixing recess. The elastic formation of the holding means can thus be used, for example, instead of the above-described shortenable guide web to hold the mounting position fixing in the Fixierausnehmung.

Preferably, the mounting position fixing means passes through the deformation and / or displacement of the holding means as a result of the fastening forces occurring during assembly out of engagement with the drive rod. The mounting position fixing means itself can be designed as a rigid element of the driving rod guide device. The "arming" of the drive rod assembly is done only by deforming and / or displacing the holding means, resulting in a displacement of the driving rod guide device to the drive rod and thus the release of the mounting position fixing means from the Fixierausnehmung result. Of course, a combination of deformable and / or displaceable holding means with one or more deformable, displaceable and / or tear-off mounting position fixing means, as described above, conceivable. Advantageously, in this case the driving rod guide device is formed integrally with the holding centers and the fastening screw guide element, so that in turn is a particularly easy to handle espagnolette guide device is available.

Finally, it is provided that the mounting position fixing element of the last-described embodiment is movable in at least one orientation of the drive rod guide device to the drive rod through the guide slot - for releasing or arranging the drive rod guide device on the drive rod. Particularly preferred in this case two mounting position fixing means are provided, which are aligned substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal extent of the elastic holding means, so that the driving rod guide device can be performed with little effort with the mounting position fixing means through the guide slot of the drive rod, and by a subsequent rotation of the driving rod guide device by 90 °, so that the elastic holding means are biased by the driving rod on which they then rest, and then relaxing the driving rod guide device, the bias for holding the mounting position fixing is achieved.

The invention further relates to a method for mounting a drive rod assembly on a window, a door or the like, wherein the drive rod assembly has at least one drive rod and at least one drive rod leading and holding drive rod guide device, and with a mounting position fixing for specifying a mounting position of the drive rod guide device relative to the drive rod, wherein the drive rod position fixing is urged by attachment forces occurring during assembly of the drive rod guide device for attaching the drive rod guide device to the window, door or the like, out of engagement with the drive rod.

The FIG. 1 shows a drive rod assembly 1, which has a drive rod 2 and a drive rod guide device 3. From the drive rod 2 is in the FIG. 1 only a section is shown. The drive rod 2 has a guide slot 4 extending in the longitudinal direction of the drive rod 2, which at its one longitudinal edge 5 a the slot width widening over a longitudinal section area Fixierausnehmung 6 and at its other longitudinal edge 7 another, also the slot width - over a Längsabschnittsbereich - widening Fixierausnehmung 8 on. The two Fixierausnehmungen 6 and 8 are - in the direction of the longitudinal extent (Double arrow 9) of the drive rod 2 considered - at a distance from each other.

The driving rod guide device 3 has a base body 10, which preferably consists of plastic. The main body 10 is designed substantially box-shaped and can be in the mounting of the drive rod assembly 1 in a groove recess of a window or the like bring in, wherein a Nututiefung associated groove receives the drive rod 2. Alternatively, however, other arrangements on the window or the like are conceivable. According to FIG. 2 is on the base body 10 of the drive rod guide device 3 on both sides depending a support flange 11 is formed on the tops 12, the drive rod 2 rests with its bottom 13. Further, a dome-shaped guide web 14 is formed on the base body 10, which passes through the guide slot 4 with slight lateral play and with respect to the tops 12 of the support flanges 11 slightly higher than the thickness d of the drive rod 2 is formed. The main body 10 is penetrated by a stepped receiving bore 15, which also extends through the guide web 14. A larger diameter portion 16 of the receiving bore 15 serves to receive a plug-in fastening screw guide element 17, which is preferably designed as a fastening screw guide sleeve 18. The fastening screw guide sleeve 18 has a hollow cylinder section 19 and holding means 20 extending transversely thereto in the form of an annular flange 21. In the center of the annular flange 21 passes into a screw head guide funnel 22, to which - in one piece - the hollow cylinder portion 19 connects. The region 16 of the receiving bore 15 has a chamfer 23 in order to accommodate the screw head hopper 22 form fitting.

According to FIG. 3 can be in the interior 24 of the fastening screw guide sleeve 18 insert a fixing screw 25, wherein a preferably thread-free shaft 26 of the fastening screw 25, the fastening screw guide sleeve 18 passes through and rests with its head 27 in the screw head hopper 22. A threaded portion 28 of the fastening screw 25 protrudes downwards from the receiving bore 25 and can be screwed into a window (not shown), a door (not shown) or the like in order to fix the driving rod arrangement.

Seen in the longitudinal direction of the drive rod 2, the receiving bore 15 are formed on both sides of the base body 10 in the region of the guide web 14 Montagestellungsfixiermittel 29. Each Montagestellungsfixiermittel 29 is preferably made in one piece with the base body 10 preferably by plastic injection molding and is connected via a material bridge 30 at one end to the base body 10 in connection and extends from there - transverse to the longitudinal extent of the guide slot 4 - with a preferably free fixing end 31 into the associated Fixing recess 6 and 8 of the guide slot 4 into it. Each mounting position fixing means 29 has an actuating projection 32, which is the top of the guide web 14 in the in the FIG. 4 surmounted arrangement shown. The position of the fastening screw guide element 17 in the region 16 of the receiving bore 15 in the FIG. 4 corresponds to the position of this element in the FIG. 3 , In the last-mentioned figure, it can be seen that the lower edge 33 of the hollow cylinder section 19 lies at a distance from the step-shaped bore end 34 of the larger-diameter region 16 of the receiving bore 15, wherein - arranged distributed over the circumference of the receiving bore 15 - crimping stops 35 are provided are on which the lower edge 33 of the hollow cylinder portion 19 is supported. In this position, so when supporting the fastening screw guide sleeve 18 to the squeeze stops 35 at a distance a to the bore end 34, there is a pre-assembly of the drive rod assembly 1. In this pre-assembly, the bottom 36 of the annular flange 21 to the top 37 of the drive rod 2 at a distance, for example, is about 1 mm. In the preassembly position, the drive rod assembly 1 is fixed to a window, a door or the like delivered. In this position, therefore, the drive rod 2 is due to the passage of the guide bar 14 laterally fixed by the guide slot 4 and due to the overlapping of the top 37 of the drive rod 2 by the holding means 20 forming annular flange 21, wherein further the two mounting position fixing means 29 with their fixation 31st engage in the fixing recesses 6 and 8 of the guide slot 4, so that the position of the drive rod guide device 3 is fixed immovably with respect to the longitudinal extent of the guide slot 4 on the drive rod 2. In particular, the drive rod guide device 3 is in the center position with respect to the longitudinal extension of the guide slot 4. In the delivery state, ie in the preassembly, there is still no fastening screw 25 in the driving rod guide device 3. The holding of the fastening screw guide member 17 on the base body 10 by pressing fit, that is , Preferably, the fastening screw guide sleeve 18 is held in the receiving bore 15 and fixing the driving rod guide device 3 to the drive rod 2 by plugging and doing successful clamping.

Should now - according to FIG. 5 - Carried out a final assembly to the window or the like, not shown, the aforementioned fastening screw 25 is inserted into the Treibstangenführungsvorrichtung 3 and screwed with its threaded portion 28 in the window or the like, whereby the head 27 of the fixing screw 25, the Befestigungsschraubenführungshüfse 18 as indicated by arrow 38 in the direction on the top 37 of the drive rod 2 urges. By this fastening forces, which serve to hold the driving rod guide device 3 to the window, on the door or the like, the lower edge 33 crushes the squeeze stops 35, so that the fastening screw guide sleeve 18 comes to rest by the distance a deeper in the base 10. Because of this depth displacement, the underside 36 of the annular flange 21 acts on the two actuating projections 32 of the mounting position fixing means 29, so that the latter are pivoted downward with the deformation of the respective material bridge 30 in accordance with arrow 39, whereby the fixing elements 31 exit from the associated fixing recesses 6 and 8, that is to say except there Get engaged. When the fastening screw 25 is firmly tightened, the annular flange 21 is supported on the guide web 14, but retains a small distance from the upper side 37 of the drive rod 2, so that the drive rod remains displaceable in a longitudinally displaceable manner.

From the foregoing, it becomes clear that the mounting position fixing means 29 disengage from the drive rod 2 only by attachment forces for holding the drive rod guide device 3 on the window, door or the like occurring during installation of the push rod guide device 3.

The FIGS. 6 and 7 make clear the structure of the main body 10 of the driving rod guide device 3. It is clearly seen that on both sides of the receiving bore 15 mounting position fixing means 29 and the guide web 14, the support flanges 11 surmounted. Of the FIG. 7 are clearly two of offset by 120 ° to each other three squeeze stops 35 recognizable. Furthermore, it is clear that within the receiving bore 15 is a conical intermediate wall structure 40 is not yet introduced fastening screw 25, which leads the fastening screw during insertion and reduces mis-screwing due to tilting. When screwing the screw tip penetrates the thin partition structure 40, as shown in FIG. 3 is recognizable.

The fastening screw guiding element 17, which is preferably designed as a fastening screw guide sleeve 18, is preferably made of metal, as a result of which the fastening screw 25 on the driving rod guide device 3 obtains a stable and hard guidance. The assembly position of the drive rod guide device 3 on the drive rod 2 brought about by the assembly position fixing means 29 is deactivated by bringing about the final assembly position, ie in the final assembled state, that is to say the fixation of the drive rod guide device 3 on the drive rod 2, which is preferably designed as center fixation, is canceled.

The FIGS. 8 and 9 show in perspective views a further embodiment of an advantageous espagnolette guide device 41. Like the espagnolette guide device 3, the espagnolette guide device 41 has a base body 42, which is designed substantially box-shaped and during assembly in a Nutkeiefung or in a driving rod guide device receptacle a window or the like can bring. On the base 42, a support flange 43 is formed on both sides, on the upper sides 44, the drive rod 2 can rest with its bottom 13. From the base 42, a dome-shaped guide web 45 rises, which can pass through the guide slot 4 of the drive rod 2 with slight lateral play and 43 is formed higher than the thickness d of the drive rod 2 with respect to the tops 44 of the support flanges. This will be discussed in more detail later. The guide web 45 is formed substantially circular cylindrical, so that the driving rod guide device 41 and the guide web 45 can be rotated in the guide slot 4 of the drive rod 2 about the longitudinal axis of the guide web 45. At its free end 46, the guide web 45 holding means 47, which are arranged in the form of a rectangular flange 48 on the guide web 45. The driving rod guide device 41 is penetrated by a stepped receiving bore 49 which essentially corresponds to the receiving bore 15, which extends through the guide web 45 and through the main body 42. The driving rod guide device 41 is similar in this respect the driving rod guide device 3, wherein instead of the plug-in fastening screw guide member 17, the integrally formed with the guide web 45 holding means 47 are provided. The drive rod 2 is guided between the holding means 47 and the support flanges 43.

Furthermore, the driving rod guide device 41 mounting position fixing means 50, which are preferably made in one piece with the base body 42, preferably in the plastic injection molding process and a material bridge 51 at one end with the Base body 42 are in communication and extend from there substantially parallel to the receiving bore 49 upwards in the direction of the support flanges 43 and project beyond this with their free fixation 51 a piece. The mounting position fixing means 50 are arranged laterally offset from the axis of the receiving bore 49 point-symmetrical to each other and each have an actuating projection 52 which projects beyond a respective longitudinal side 53 of the main body 42. The longitudinal sides 53 run parallel to the guide direction of the drive rod. 2

The FIG. 10 shows a drive rod assembly 54 with the drive rod guide device 41 and the drive rod 2 in a first preassembly position. From the drive rod 2 only one section is shown. From the FIG. 10 It can be seen that the retaining means 47 forming the flange 48 are designed so that they can be passed through the guide slot 4 of the drive rod 2 in the illustrated orientation of the drive rod guide device 41 to the drive rod 2. The width of the flange 48 is slightly smaller than the width of the guide slot 4. The flange 48 and the holding means 47 can thus be inserted through the guide slot 4 therethrough. As a result of the advantageous design of the guide web 45, as described above, the drive rod guide device 41 can be rotated from the illustrated first preassembly position by 90 ° about the longitudinal axis of the receiving bore 49 or of the guide web 45 into a second preassembly position, so that the holding means 47 are in the overlapping position with the drive rod 2 can be brought, as in the FIG. 11 shown in a sectional view. In this case, the holding means 47 overlap the drive rod 2. The height of the guide web 45 corresponds, as in the FIG. 11 shown, essentially the Thickness d of the drive rod 2 plus the length of the fixation 51 of the assembly position fixing means 50 projecting over the top 44. This ensures that the drive rod guide device 41 can be rotated without the assembly position fixing means 50 being bent or otherwise damaged. In the second preassembly position, the mounting position fixing means 50 are not yet in engagement with the fixing recesses 6 and 8 or with the drive rod 2.

The guide web 45 and the base body 42 are formed integrally with each other by means of a positive connection. The positive connection is advantageously designed such that it can be destroyed without particularly great effort.

The Figures 16 and 17 show in perspective views another embodiment of an advantageous drive rod guide device 60 according to another embodiment of the drive rod assembly according to the invention. The drive rod guide device 60 has a base body 61, which is formed substantially circular cylindrical. The base body 61 can be incorporated during assembly in a Nutvertiefung or in a drive rod guide device receiving a window or the like. The main body 61 has mounting position fixing means 62, which are arranged diametrically opposite to the base body 61. The Montagefixiermittel 62 are formed as radial projections 63, the surfaces 64 are flat and parallel to each other, so that they act as a set into the base 61 cuboid with a rectangular base. The radial projections 63 extend from the lower end of the main body 61 to slightly more than half the height of the base body 61, wherein at about half the height of a step 64 is provided, and the higher-lying portion of the respective radial projection 63 protrudes less far.

The drive rod guide device 60 further comprises holding means 65, which are arranged at the upper end of the main body 61 and essentially serve to cover a portion of the top of the drive rod. The holding means 65 are designed as a spring element 66, which has a roof-like longitudinal section with a flattened syringe and, viewed in a plan view, is substantially rectangular. The spring element 66 is aligned such that its longitudinal extension is perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the imaginary cuboid of the radial projections 63. Due to the roof-like shape of the spring element 66, the protruding beyond the base 61 ends 67 of the spring element 66 are at an angle, here of about 30 °, to the central region of the spring element 66, whose planar surface 68 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the circular cylindrical body 1 is. The outer edges of the ends 67 are in the illustrated, unloaded state approximately at the level of the step 64.

Furthermore, the driving rod guide device 60 is penetrated by a receiving bore 69 for a fastening screw, wherein the receiving bore 69 is coaxial with the base body 61 and substantially corresponds to the receiving bore 15.

Instead of the staggered each other arranged Fixierausnehmungen 6 and 8, two oppositely arranged Fixierausnehmungen 71, 72 are provided in the drive rod 2 shown here, the width (or longitudinal extent) substantially corresponds to that of the radial projections 63. To achieve the first pre-assembly no special forces are necessary because the elastically deformable ends 67 of the spring element 66 are aligned transversely to the longitudinal extension of the drive rod 2 and thus protrude beyond the drive rod 2 and are not claimed.

To move from the first pre-assembly position to a second pre-assembly position as described in the FIG. 19 is shown, the drive rod guide device 60 must be rotated by 90 °, so that the holding means 65 and the ends 67 of the spring element 66 come to rest on the drive rod 2. At the same time, the drive rod guide device 60 must be acted upon by a force in the direction of the main body 61 or perpendicular to the drive rod 2 in the direction of the arrow 73 to rotate the Montagefixiermittel 62 on the underside of the drive rod 2 and into the Fixierausnehmungen 71, 72 after completed 90 ° -. To lock in rotation. For latching, the drive rod guide device 60 is only relieved, the spring element 66 due to its inherent elasticity, which generates a bias, the base 61 against the direction of the arrow 73 pulls so that the mounting position fixing means 62 rest with the step 64 on the underside of the drive rod 2. In this second pre-assembly position the drive rod guide device 60 is fixed by means of the mounting position fixing means 62.

In the final assembly or attachment of the drive rod guide device 60 and the drive rod assembly 70 to a window, a door or the like, a fastening screw, for example, the fastening screw 25 is inserted into the receiving bore 69 and screwed into the window, the door or the like. As a result of occurring in the Montagebeziehungsweise attachment of the drive rod guide device 60 fastening forces for holding the drive rod guide device 60 by means of the fastening screw 25, the ends 67 of the spring element 66 and the retaining means 65 are elastically deformed so far until the retaining means 65 and the spring element 66 just on the drive rod rests. The mounting position fixing means 62 are moved out of the fixing recesses 71, 72 or brought out of engagement with the drive rod 2. In the relaxed state, the ends 67 must therefore be bent so far down that a complete disengagement of the mounting position fixing means 62 is ensured with the drive rod 2.
