Zur Aufnahme der dafür vorgesehene Türscharniere einerseits und der Verriegelungsvorrichtung für die Tür andererseits ist der Wannenkörper im Bereich der Öffnung doppelwandig mit einer äußeren Schürze ausgebildet, so daß sich ein die Öffnung für die Tür umschließender U-förmiger Verstärkungsrahmen ergibt. Im Bereich dieses Verstärkungsrahmens sind drei einzelne Scharniere zur Halterung der Tür an dem Verstärkungsrahmen angeordnet; auf der den Scharnieren gegenüberliegenden Seite ist die Verriegelungseinrichtung in Form einer in der Tür drehbar gelagerten Verriegelungsstange mit davon getragenen Verriegelungsklauen angeordnet, die bei geschlossener Tür eine an dem Verstärkungsrahmen angebrachte Vorsprungsleiste hintergreifen.A tub with the aforementioned features is known from US 2005/0102746 A1 known. The trained as a sitz bath tub has on a side wall a U-shaped opening as an entry point, which can be closed by a swing-open in the tub interior door. For receiving the door hinges provided on the one hand and the locking device for the door on the other hand, the tub body is double-walled in the region of the opening formed with an outer skirt, so that there is an opening for the door enclosing U-shaped reinforcement frame. In the region of this reinforcing frame, three individual hinges for holding the door are arranged on the reinforcing frame; on the opposite side of the hinges, the locking device is arranged in the form of a rotatably mounted in the door locking rod with it carried locking claws, which engage behind a mounted on the reinforcing frame protrusion bar with the door closed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Wanne mit den gattungsgemäßen Merkmalen die Anbringung der Tür an dem Wannenkörper zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the attachment of the door to the tub body in a tub with the generic features.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus dem Anspruch 1; vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüche angegeben.The solution to this problem arises from the claim 1; advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung sieht in ihrem Grundgedanken vor, daß dass die Drehachse aus einer an ihrem oberen Ende fest mit der Tür verbundenen, durch den Wannenkörper geführten, und zumindest im oberen und unteren Endbereich an dem Verstärkungsrahmen gelagerten Scharnierstange besteht.The invention provides in its basic idea that the axis of rotation consists of a hinged at its upper end fixed to the door, guided by the tub body, and mounted at least in the upper and lower end portion of the reinforcing frame hinge rod.

Nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Scharnierstange in jeweils einem am oberen und am unteren Endbereich des Verstärkungsrahmens befestigten Drehlager befestigt ist.According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the hinge rod is fixed in each case one mounted on the upper and at the lower end portion of the reinforcing frame pivot bearing.

Soweit nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, dass das das untere Ende der Scharnierstange lagernde Drehlager an einer an dem Verstärkungsrahmen in Öffnungsrichtung der Tür verstellbar angeordneten Platte befestigt ist und dass das obere Ende der Scharnierstange lagernde Drehlager als in den Verstellrichtungen der Scharnierstange nachgiebiges Lager ausgebildet ist, wobei die Platte über ein Schraubgewinde verstellbar sein kann, ergibt sich damit der Vorteil, dass über die Verstellung der Platte auch die Lage der Scharnierstange in der Öffnungsrichtung der Tür einstellbar ist, so dass über die Verstellung der Scharnierstange bei geschlossener Tür der Druck der Tür gegen die im Bereich der Öffnung angeordnete und flächig gegen das Türblatt anliegende Dichtung einstellbar ist.As far as according to an embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the rotary bearing overlapping the lower end of the hinge rod is fastened to a plate which is adjustably arranged on the reinforcing frame in the opening direction of the door, and in that the upper end of the hinge rod overlaps pivot bearing designed as a flexible bearing in the adjustment directions of the hinge rod is, wherein the plate can be adjusted via a screw, this results in the advantage that on the adjustment of the plate and the position of the hinge rod in the opening direction of the door is adjustable, so that on the adjustment of the hinge rod with the door closed the pressure of Door against the arranged in the opening and flat against the door leaf fitting seal is adjustable.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Scharnierstange an ihrem oberen Ende mit einem die Oberkante der Tür bildenden und die Öffnung überbrückenden Bügel verbunden ist und der Bügel bei geschlossener Tür über die an seinem freien Ende angreifende Verriegelungsvorrichtung mit dem Verstärkungsrahmen verbindbar ist. Hiermit ist der Vorteil verbunden, dass über den Bügel die offene Seite des Verstärkungsrahmens geschlossen wird, so dass bei geschlossener Tür auch ein geschlossener Verstärkungsrahmen vorhanden ist, in welchem eine gegenseitige Abstützung und Kraftaufnahme erfolgt.It can be provided that the hinge rod is connected at its upper end with a top edge of the door forming and bridging the opening bracket and the bracket is connected with the door closed via the acting at its free end locking device with the reinforcing frame. This has the advantage that over the bracket, the open side of the reinforcing frame is closed, so that when the door is closed and a closed reinforcing frame is present, in which a mutual support and power absorption takes place.

Nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Verriegelungsvorrichtung aus einem durch eine am Ende des Bügels ausgebildete Öse hindurchsteckbaren und in eine Verriegelungsöffnung des Verstärkungsrahmens einsteckbaren Zapfen. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der an seinem oberen Ende mit einer Handhabe versehene Zapfen in dem Verstärkungsrahmen mittels eines über eine Steuervorrichtung elektrisch ansteuerbaren Riegels verriegelbar ist.According to one embodiment, the locking device consists of a pin which can be inserted through an eyelet formed at the end of the bracket and can be inserted into a locking opening of the reinforcing frame. It can be provided that the provided at its upper end with a handle pin in the reinforcing frame by means of a control device electrically controllable latch is lockable.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die Handhabe aus einem Teilstück des Bügels, das bei geschlossener und verriegelter Tür einen formschlüssigen Bestandteil des Bügels bildet und zur Handhabung des Zapfens in eine winklig zum Bügel stehende Stellung verdrehbar ist. Hiermit wird eine zusätzliche Verriegelungsstufe erreicht, weil nämlich bei geschlossener und verriegelter Tür die Handhabe aufgrund ihrer formschlüssigen Einsenkung in den Bügel nicht ergriffen und somit auch der Zapfen nicht herausgezogen werden kann; vielmehr bedarf es einer Verschwenkung der Handhabe in eine Betätigungsstellung, um die Handhabe mit Zapfen aus der Verriegelungsöffnung hinausheben zu können, sofern in einer zweiten Verriegelungsstufe der Riegel den Zapfen freigegeben hat.According to one embodiment of the invention, the handle consists of a portion of the bracket, which forms a positive component of the bracket with the door closed and locked and is rotatable for handling the pin in an angle to the bracket standing position. Hereby, an additional locking level is achieved because namely when the door is closed and locked, the handle is not engaged due to their positive depression in the bracket and thus the pin can not be pulled out; rather, it requires a pivoting of the handle in an operating position in order to lift the handle with pin out of the locking hole, if in a second locking stage, the bolt has released the pin.

Für diese zweite Verriegelungsstufe ist nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Zapfen eine Betätigung zur Ansteuerung der Steuervorrichtung für den Riegel aufweist, wobei vorgesehen sein kann, dass die Betätigung aus einem in dem Zapfen verschiebbar angeordneten Taster besteht und der Taster in seiner Betätigungsstellung einen Anschluss der Steuervorrichtung an eine Stromversorgung herstellt. Mit dieser Ausführungsform ist der Vorteil verbunden, dass im Normalfall die Steuervorrichtung nicht an die Stromversorgung angeschlossen ist, was die elektrische Sicherheit erhöht. Erst durch die Betätigung des Tasters erfolgt der Anschluss der Steuervorrichtung an die Stromversorgung, so dass die Steuervorrichtung nun ihrerseits arbeitsfähig ist.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided for this second locking stage that the pin has an actuation for controlling the control device for the bolt, wherein it may be provided that the actuation consists of a button arranged displaceably in the pin and the button in its actuated position Connection of the control device to a power supply manufactures. This embodiment has the advantage that in the normal case the control device is not connected to the power supply, which increases the electrical safety. Only by pressing the button takes place the connection of the control device to the power supply, so that the control device is in turn able to work.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die Verriegelungsvorrichtung aus einem in dem Verstärkungsrahmen verschiebbar angeordneten Verriegelungsbolzen besteht, der von einer Feder in seine in eine am Bügel angeordnete Verriegelungsausnehmung eingerastete Verriegelungsstellung vorgespannt und mittels eines von einer Steuervorrichtung ansteuerbaren elektrischen Stellantriebes in einer außer Eingriff mit dem Bügel stehende Freigabestellung überführbar ist.In an alternative embodiment, it is provided that the locking device consists of a displaceably arranged in the reinforcing frame locking bolt biased by a spring in its latched into a locking arm arranged on the locking position and by means of a controllable by a control device electric actuator in a disengaged from the Ironing standing release position is convertible.

Um die Handhabung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung beim Schließen der Tür zu vereinfachen, kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Verriegelungsbolzen an seiner dem Wanneninneren zugewandten Seite eine Schrägfläche aufweist derart, dass der Bügel bei der Schließbewegung der Tür den Verriegelungsbolzen entgegen der Federwirkung verschiebt. Hiermit ist der Vorteil verbunden, dass beim Schließen der Tür der Bügel auf die Schrägfläche des Verriegelungsbolzens aufläuft und somit die Tür automatisch mit dem Verriegelungsbolzen verrastet.In order to simplify the handling of the locking device when closing the door, it can be provided that the locking bolt on its side facing the trough interior has an inclined surface such that the bracket shifts the locking bolt against the spring action during the closing movement of the door. This has the advantage that when closing the door of the bracket runs on the inclined surface of the locking bolt and thus automatically locks the door with the locking bolt.

Nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Steuervorrichtung für den elektrischen Stellantrieb aus einem in dem Bügel gegen die Wirkung einer Feder in dem Bügel eindrückbaren Entriegelungsknopf besteht, der an seiner dem Verriegelungsbolzen zugewandten Unterseite einen mit einem im Verriegelungsbolzen angeordneten Reed-Kontakt zusammenwirkenden und diesen bei Annäherung an den Verriegelungsbolzen schließenden Magneten aufweist derart, dass das Schließen des Reed-Kontaktes den elektrischen Stellantrieb für die Bewegung des Verriegelungsbolzens auslöst.According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the control device for the electric actuator consists of an unlockable in the bracket against the action of a spring unlocking button, which cooperates at its the locking bolt underside with a arranged in the locking bolt reed contact and this closing when approaching the locking pin magnet has such that the closing of the reed contact triggers the electric actuator for the movement of the locking bolt.

The door 16 is pivoted inwardly in the direction of the arrow 35 when the in FIG. 1 in locked position located locking device 27 is released. The U-shaped opening 15 in the side wall 11 of the tub body 10 is surrounded by an opening 15 enclosing the U-shaped reinforcing frame 17, which consists in the illustrated embodiment of a correspondingly adapted metal frame. The door 16 is mounted on its left side by means of a hinge rod 18 to the reinforcing frame 17, wherein opening 15 and reinforcing frame 17 taper in a trapezoidal shape to the bottom edge of the tub body 10, so that corresponding space for the arrangement of a hinge rod 18 is provided for hinge mounting of the door 16 , The hinged at its upper end fixed to the door 16 18 is mounted in the upper region of the reinforcing frame 17 in a pivot bearing attached thereto and is at its lower end in one on a plate 33 fastened pivot bearing 34, wherein the plate 33 is supported on the projection 19, but by means of a screw thread in the opening direction of the door relative to the projection 19 (arrows 37) is displaceable. At 28 is in the projection 19 an engagement for a corresponding tool 40, with which actuates the screw thread and thus the plate 33 for supporting the lower end of the hinge rod 18 overlapping pivot bearing 34 is displaceable. With this shift, the door 16 in the closed state, a different contact pressure against the arranged in the region of the opening 15, not shown here seal can be taught.

Am oberen Ende des vorzugsweise aus Glas bestehenden Türblattes 21 befindet sich ein Bügel 20, der an seinem, linken Ende fest mit der Scharnierstange 18 verbunden ist, und der in dem in Figur 1 dargestellten geschlossenen Zustand der Tür 16 die Öffnung 15 mit Tür 16 übergreift und an seinem gegenüberliegenden Ende mittels der angesprochenen Verriegelungsvorrichtung 27 mit dem dort befindlichen oberen Ende des U-förmigen Verstärkungsrahmens 17 verriegelt ist.At the upper end of the preferably made of glass door leaf 21 is a bracket 20 which is fixedly connected at its left end to the hinge rod 18, and in the in FIG. 1 illustrated closed state of the door 16, the opening 15 engages over the door 16 and is locked at its opposite end by means of the aforementioned locking device 27 with the upper end of the U-shaped reinforcing frame 17 located there.

Wie sich näher aus Figuren 2 und 3 ergibt, geschieht die Verriegelung über einen Zapfen 22, der durch eine an dem freien Ende des Bügels 20 ausgebildete Öse 29 hindurchsteckbar und in eine nicht weiter dargestellte, an dem Verstärkungsrahmen 17 ausgebildete Verriegelungsöffnung einsteckbar ist. Der Zapfen 22 ist Bestandteil einer Handhabe 23, die derart aus der Kontur des Bügels 21 herausgearbeitet ist, dass die Handhabe 23 in der in Figur 2 ersichtlichen Verriegelungsstellung formschlüssig in der an dem Bügel insoweit ausgebildeten Einsenkung 24 liegt und daher nicht ergriffen und betätigt werden kann. Zur Betätigung der Verriegelungs-vorrichtung 27 bedarf es zunächst einer Verschwenkung der Handhabe 23 in Richtung des Pfeils 36 nach innen in einen Winkel zum Bügel 20, und in dieser Betätigungsstellung kann die Handhabe 23 mit Zapfen 22 ergriffen und somit aus der Verriegelungsposition für die Tür 16 herausgezogen werden. Hiermit ist eine erste Verriegelungsstufe sichergestellt, in welcher ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausheben der Handhabe 23 mit Zapfen 22 nicht möglich ist.How to get closer FIGS. 2 and 3 results, the locking is done via a pin 22 which can be pushed through a trained at the free end of the bracket 20 eyelet 29 and in a non-illustrated, formed on the reinforcing frame 17 locking opening. The pin 22 is part of a handle 23, which is machined out of the contour of the bracket 21, that the handle 23 in the in FIG. 2 apparent locking position is positively in the extent formed on the bracket depression 24 and therefore can not be grasped and operated. To actuate the locking device 27, it first requires a pivoting of the handle 23 in the direction of arrow 36 inwardly at an angle to the bracket 20, and in this operating position, the handle 23 can be taken with pin 22 and thus from the locking position for the door 16th be pulled out. This ensures a first locking stage, in which a unintentional lifting out of the handle 23 with pin 22 is not possible.

Wie im einzelnen nicht weiter dargestellt, ist der Zapfen 22 im Inneren des Verstärkungsrahmens 17 über einen nicht dargestellten Riegel verriegelbar, der längsverschiebbar ist und in eine am unteren Ende des Zapfens 22 eingerichtete Nut eingreift, so dass der Zapfen 22 auch bei verriegeltem Riegel gegenüber dem Riegel drehbar ist. Eine Freigabe des Zapfens 22 durch den vorgesehenen Riegel erfolgt dann, wenn ein entsprechend vorgesehener Elektromagnet den Riegel beaufschlagt und diesen aus der am Zapfen 22 vorgesehenen Nut herauszieht. Zur Ansteuerung dieses Elektromagneten ist eine mit 26 bezeichnete Steuervorrichtung vorgesehen, die folgendermaßen arbeitet: Außerhalb des unmittelbaren, in einer noch zu beschreibenden Weise einzuleitenden Entriegelungsvorgangs ist die Steuervorrichtung 26 stromlos, dass heißt nicht an die Stromversorgung der Verriegelungsvorrichtung angeschlossen. Dieser Anschluss an die Stromversorgung wird erst durch die Betätigung eines in der Handhabe 23 mit Zapfen 22 angeordneten Tasters 25 hergestellt, der den Stromfluss zur Steuervorrichtung 26 herstellt. Weiterhin ist ein nicht weiter dargestellter kapazitiv arbeitender Sensor außen am Wannenkörper angebracht, der feststellt, ob sich Wasser in der Wanne befindet. Nur wenn sich kein Wasser in der Wanne befindet, steuert die nun unter Strom stehende Steuervorrichtung 26 aufgrund eines entsprechenden, vom Sensor kommenden Signals den Elektromagneten an und veranlasst diesen, den Riegel aus seiner Verriegelungsposition für den Zapfen 22 zu bewegen, so dass die Handhabe 23 mit Zapfen 22 aus dem Verstärkungsrahmen 17 herausgehoben und die Tür geöffnet werden kann. Nach Herausnehmen des Zapfens 22 ist die Stromversorgung unterbrochen und eine Feder führt den Riegel in seine Verriegelungsstellung zurück. Wird anschließend beim Schließen der Tür der Zapfen 22 wiederum in den Verstärkungsrahmen 17 eingedrückt, so schnappt der unter Federwirkung stehende Riegel in die am Zapfen vorgesehene Verriegelungsnut ein. Danach ist die Handhabe 23 wiederum aus ihrer Betätigungsstellung (Figur 3) in ihre Verriegelungsstellung gemäß Figur 2 zu drehen.As not shown in detail, the pin 22 is locked in the interior of the reinforcing frame 17 via a bolt, not shown, which is longitudinally displaceable and engages in a groove provided at the lower end of the pin 22 groove so that the pin 22 even when locked against the bar Latch is rotatable. A release of the pin 22 by the provided latch takes place when a correspondingly provided electromagnet acts on the bolt and pulls it out of the groove 22 provided on the pin. To control this electromagnet 26 is provided a control device is provided, which operates as follows: Outside the immediate, to be initiated in a manner to be described unlocking the control device 26 is de-energized, that is not connected to the power supply of the locking device. This connection to the power supply is made only by the operation of a arranged in the handle 23 with pin 22 button 25, which establishes the flow of current to the control device 26. Furthermore, a non-illustrated capacitive sensor is mounted externally on the tub body, which determines whether there is water in the tub. Only when there is no water in the trough controls the now energized control device 26 due to a corresponding signal coming from the sensor to the electromagnet and causes it to move the latch from its locking position for the pin 22 so that the handle 23rd lifted out of the reinforcing frame 17 with pin 22 and the door can be opened. After removing the pin 22, the power supply is interrupted and a spring returns the latch in its locking position. If subsequently the pin 22 is again pressed into the reinforcing frame 17 when the door is closed, the spring-like latch snaps into the locking groove provided on the pin. After that is the handle 23 in turn from its operating position ( FIG. 3 ) in its locking position according to FIG. 2 to turn.

Zurückkommend auf Figur 1 ist anzumerken, dass die Energieversorgung der elektrisch arbeitenden Verriegelungsvorrichtung 27 über in einem Fach 30 untergebrachte Batterien 32 geschieht, wobei eine elektrische Zuleitung 31 von dem Batteriefach 30 zur Verriegelungsvorrichtung 27 geführt ist.Coming back to FIG. 1 It should be noted that the power supply of the electrically operating locking device 27 is done via batteries 32 accommodated in a compartment 30, wherein an electrical supply line 31 is led from the battery compartment 30 to the locking device 27.

In den Figuren 5 und 6 ist eine alternative Verriegelungsvorrichtung für die Verriegelung der Tür 16 an dem Verstärkungsrahmen 17 dargestellt. Hierbei ist an den Bügel 20 ein der Form der bei den zu Figuren 2 beziehungsweise 3 beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehenen beweglichen Handhabe 23 entsprechender Vorsprung 55 angeordnet, der bei geschlossener Tür 16 formschlüssig in einen an dem Verstärkungsrahmen 17 ausgebildeten, zur Innenseite der Wanne geöffneten Rücksprung 52 passt. Im Bereich des Rücksprungs 56 ist an dem Verstärkungsrahmen ein Verriegelungsbolzen 51 verschiebbar angeordnet derart, dass der Verriegelungsbolzen 51 aus der in Figur 5 dargestellten Stellung in die Rücksprungfläche eindrückbar ist, so dass der Vorsprung 55 in den Rücksprung 56 eingleiten kann. Der Verriegelungsbolzen 51 ist von einer nicht weiter dargestellten Feder in seine in den Rücksprung 56 hineinstehende vorspringende Stellung vorgespannt, und an der Unterseite des Vorsprunges 55 ist dem Verriegelungsvorsprung 51 eine nicht dargestellte Verriegelungsausnehmung zugeordnet. Der Verriegelungsbolzen 51 weist an der dem Wanneninneren zugewandten Seite eine Schrägfläche 52 auf derart, dass der Bügel 20 bei der Schließbewegung der Tür 16 den Verriegelungsbolzen 51 entgegen der diesen belasteten Feder in die zugeordnete Fläche des Rücksprunges 56 eindrückt, bis nach Schließen der Tür 16 der Verriegelungsbolzen 51 selbsttätig unter der Wirkung der gespannten Feder in die Verriegelungsausnehmung des Vorsprunges 55 einrastet.In the FIGS. 5 and 6 an alternative locking device for locking the door 16 to the reinforcing frame 17 is shown. Here is the bracket 20 one of the shape of the at Figures 2 or 3 described embodiment provided movable handle 23 corresponding projection 55 is arranged, which fits positively with a closed door 16 in a formed on the reinforcing frame 17, to the inside of the trough open recess 52. In the region of the recess 56, a locking bolt 51 is slidably disposed on the reinforcing frame such that the locking bolt 51 from the in FIG. 5 shown position in the recess surface is pressed, so that the projection 55 can slide into the recess 56. The locking pin 51 is biased by a spring not shown in its protruding into the recess 56 protruding position, and on the underside of the projection 55 is associated with the locking projection 51, a locking recess, not shown. The locking pin 51 has on the side facing the tub interior an inclined surface 52 in such a way that the bracket 20 during the closing movement of the door 16, the locking pin 51 against the spring loaded this pressed into the associated surface of the recess 56 until after closing the door 16 of Locking pin 51 automatically engages under the action of the tensioned spring in the locking recess of the projection 55.

Zum Öffnen der Türverriegelung ist in den Vorsprung 56 ein Entriegelungsknopf 50 gegen die Wirkung einer diesen vorspannenden Feder 53 eindrückbar angeordnet. An seiner dem Verriegelungsbolzen 51 zugewandten Unterseite ist an dem aus Kunststoff bestehenden Entriegelungsknopf 50 ein Magnet 54 angeordnet. Wie nicht weiter dargestellt, ist in dem Verriegelungsbolzen 51 ein Reed-Kontakt angeordnet, dessen Schließen eine nicht weiter dargestellte elektrisch angetriebene Stellvorrichtung auslöst, die für eine Bewegung des Verriegelungsbolzens 51 aus der Verriegelungsausnehmung des Vorsprunges 55 des Bügels 20 heraus sorge trägt. Wird also der Entriegelungsknopf 50 in den Vorsprung 55 des Bügels 20 eingedrückt, so schließt aufgrund seiner Annäherung an den Verriegelungsbolzen 51 der Magnet 54 des Entriegelungsknopfes 50 den im Verriegelungsbolzen 51 angeordneten Reed-Kontakt und löst dadurch den Stellantrieb für die Bewegung des Verriegelungsbolzens 51 in dessen Entriegelungsstellung aus. Es kann die Tür 16 geöffnet werden. Ist die Tür 16 aufgeschwenkt, so kehrt der Verriegelungsbolzen 51 unter der Wirkung der ihm vorspannenden Feder in die in Figur 5 dargestellte Stellung zurück.To open the door lock an unlocking button 50 is pressed against the action of a prestressing spring 53 in the projection 56. At its the locking pin 51 facing underside a magnet 54 is disposed on the existing plastic release button 50. As not further shown, a reed contact is arranged in the locking bolt 51, the closing of which triggers an electrically driven adjusting device (not shown) which carries out a movement of the locking bolt 51 out of the locking recess of the projection 55 of the bracket 20. Thus, if the release button 50 is pressed into the projection 55 of the bracket 20 so closes due to its approach to the locking pin 51 of the magnet 54 of the release button 50 arranged in the locking pin 51 reed contact, thereby triggering the actuator for the movement of the locking pin 51 in the Unlocked position. The door 16 can be opened. If the door 16 is pivoted open, the locking bolt 51 returns under the action of the biasing spring in the in FIG. 5 shown position back.
