Abstract

The basket has bearing elements (8, 9) pivoted between two positions, and a holding mechanism (14) retaining around the bearing elements in one of the positions. An anchor (13) is arranged at the bearing elements, where the anchor is retained in the position by the holding mechanism with a vertically movable locking bar (16) that is arranged and raised in a side wall of the basket. The bar is raised by the deformation of a return spring that is made up of plastic. The anchor is retained in the position of the bearing elements by a separator (22) of the bar, and is released by the bar.

Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geschirrkorb mit einem um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbaren Anlageelement, welches zwischen einer ersten und einer zweiten Stellung verschwenkbar ist, sowie mit einem Haltemechanismus, um das Anlageelement in der ersten Stellung festzuhalten.The invention relates to a crockery basket with a pivotable about a pivot axis contact element which is pivotable between a first and a second position, and with a holding mechanism to hold the contact element in the first position.

Hintergrundbackground

Um den Geschirrkorb eines Geschirrspülers den jeweiligen Anforderungen besser anpassen zu können, kann er mit einem oder mehreren schwenkbaren Anlageelementen ausgestattet werden. Diese können zwischen einer ersten, stehenden und einer zweiten, liegenden Stellung verschwenkt werden. In der zweiten, liegenden Stellung wird eine grosse, engmaschige ebene Fläche in der Korbmitte erreicht, um sperriges Geschirr einfach zu patzieren. In der ersten, stehenden Stellung greifen sie in den Innenraum des Geschirrkorbs ein und bilden dort eine Positionierungs- bzw. Stellhilfe zur Anordnung von Geschirr.In order to be able to better adapt the dish rack of a dishwasher to the respective requirements, it can be equipped with one or more pivotable contact elements. These can be pivoted between a first, stationary and a second, lying position. In the second, lying position, a large, close-meshed flat surface in the center of the basket is achieved in order to simply pick up bulky dishes. In the first, standing position they engage in the interior of the dish rack and form there a positioning or positioning aid for the arrangement of dishes.

Um ein Anlageelement stabil in der stehenden Stellung zu halten, wurde unter anderem vorgeschlagen, einen Haltemechanismus vorzusehen, der einen am Anlageelement angeordneten Anker festhält, wenn sich das Anlageelement in der stehenden Stellung befindet.In order to keep a contact element stable in the standing position, it has been proposed inter alia to provide a holding mechanism which holds a arranged on the contact element anchor when the contact element is in the standing position.

Bekannte Lösungen sind allerdings in der Regel eher schwierig zu bedienen.However, known solutions are generally rather difficult to use.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Es stellt sich deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Geschirrkorb der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, welcher einfach zu bedienen ist. Diese Aufgabe wird vom Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.It is therefore the object to provide a crockery basket of the type mentioned, which is easy to use. This object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1.

Anspruchsgemäss weist der Haltemechanismus also Riegel auf, der vertikal verschiebbar an einer Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs angeordnet ist. Der Riegel kann vom Benutzer angehoben, d.h. vertikal gegen oben verschoben, werden. In der ersten Stellung des Anlageelements wird der Anker des Anlageelements von einem Fänger des Riegels gehalten. Durch Anheben des Riegels kann der Anker freigegeben werden.According to the claim, the holding mechanism thus has latch, which is arranged vertically displaceably on a side wall of the dish rack. The latch can be raised by the user, i. to be moved vertically upwards. In the first position of the contact element, the armature of the contact element is held by a catcher of the bolt. By lifting the bolt, the anchor can be released.

Der Vorteil dieser Anordnung liegt darin, dass der Benutzer durch einfaches Anheben des verschiebbaren Riegels den Anker und somit das Anlageelement freigeben kann.The advantage of this arrangement is that the user can release the anchor and thus the contact element by simply lifting the sliding bolt.

Vorzugsweise weist der Haltemechanismus eine Rückstellfeder auf, und der Riegel kann unter Deformation der Rückstellfeder, d.h. gegen die Kraft der Rückstellfeder, angehoben werden. Dadurch wird die Gefahr einer unbeabsichtigten Freigabe des Ankers reduziert und das selbstständige Einrasten beim Hochklappen unterstützt.Preferably, the retaining mechanism has a return spring, and the bolt can be deformed by deformation of the return spring, i. be raised against the force of the return spring. This reduces the risk of unintentional release of the armature and supports the automatic locking when folding up.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung besitzt der Riegel einen im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Griff, unter welchem ein Leerraum zum Einführen eines oder mehrerer Finger des Benutzers vorgesehen ist. Ein solcher Griff kann vom Benutzer einfach erfasst werden, um den Riegel anzuheben. Vorzugsweise ist der Leerraum sowohl von der Innen- wie auch der Aussenseite der Seitenwand des Korbs zugänglich, so dass der Benutzer den Griff von beiden Seiten her erfassen kann.In a further preferred embodiment, the latch has a substantially horizontally extending handle, below which a space is provided for inserting one or more fingers of the user. Such a handle can be easily grasped by the user to lift the latch. Preferably, the void is accessible from both the inside and the outside of the side wall of the basket so that the user can grasp the handle from both sides.

Die in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Lösung ist ein Beispiel anhand eines Unterkorbs eines Geschirrspülers. Sinngemäss kann ein entsprechender Klappmechanismus auch im Oberkorb eingebaut werden.In the Fig. 1 and 2 The solution shown is an example of a lower basket of a dishwasher. Analogously, a corresponding folding mechanism can also be installed in the upper basket.

Der Geschirrkorb gemäss Fig. 1 und 2 besitzt einen horizontalen Boden, welcher von horizontalen Stäben 2a, 2b gebildet wird, sowie vier Seitenwände, welche von horizontalen Stäben 3a und vertikalen Stäben 3b gebildet werden.The crockery basket according to Fig. 1 and 2 has a horizontal bottom formed by horizontal bars 2a, 2b and four side walls formed by horizontal bars 3a and vertical bars 3b.

Im Innern des Korbs sind in bekannter Weise mehrere rechenförmige Anlageelemente 4 - 9 vorgesehen. Mindestens eines dieser Anlageelemente, im vorliegenden Fall zumindest die Anlageelemente 8 und 9, sind schwenkbar. In der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführung sind auch die Anlageelemente 6 und 7 schwenkbar, allerdings sind sie der Einfachheit halber ohne die im Folgenden beschriebenen Haltemechanismen dargestellt.In the interior of the basket a plurality of rake-shaped contact elements 4 - 9 are provided in a known manner. At least one of these contact elements, in the present case at least the contact elements 8 and 9, are pivotable. In the in Fig. 1 also shown, the abutment elements 6 and 7 are pivotable, but they are shown for the sake of simplicity without the holding mechanisms described below.

Jedes der schwenkbaren Halteelemente 8, 9 besitzt einen horizontal verlaufenden Trägerstab 10, der eine Vielzahl von quer verlaufenden Nadeln 11, 11' trägt. Der Trägerstab 10 liegt von oben auf mehreren der Stäbe 2a, 2b des Bodens auf, und wird endseitig von zwei Haltestäben 12 niedergehalten. Am Randseitigen Ende des Trägerstabs 10 ist jeweils ein Anker 13 angeordnet, dessen Funktion weiter unten beschrieben wird.Each of the pivotable holding elements 8, 9 has a horizontally extending support bar 10 which carries a plurality of transverse needles 11, 11 '. The support rod 10 is located on top of several of the rods 2a, 2b of the soil, and is held down by two holding rods 12 end. At the edge end of the support rod 10, an armature 13 is arranged in each case, whose function will be described below.

Jedes schwenkbare Anlageelement 8, 9 ist um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar, wobei die Schwenkachse horizontal verläuft und mit dem Trägerstab 10 zusammenfällt.Each pivotable contact element 8, 9 is pivotable about a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis is horizontal and coincides with the support rod 10.

Jedes Anlageelement 8, 9 kann zwischen einer ersten und einer zweiten Stellung verschwenkt werden. Das Anlageelement 8 besitzt eine Reihe von Nadeln 11, welche in der ersten Stellung ungefähr vertikal stehen und in der zweiten Stellung ungefähr horizontal zu liegen kommen. Es ist in den Figuren in seiner ersten, stehenden Stellung dargestellt. Das Anlageelement 9 besitzt zwei Reihen 11, 11' von quer zueinander stehenden, unterschiedlichen Nadeln und ist in den Figuren in seiner zweiten Stellung dargestellt, in welcher die Nadeln 11' ungefähr vertikal stehen und die Nadeln 11 schräg verlaufen. In der ersten Stellung des Anlageelements 9 liegen die Nadeln 11' ungefähr horizontal, während die Nadeln 11 um 90° verschwenkt sind.Each abutment element 8, 9 can be pivoted between a first and a second position. The abutment element 8 has a series of needles 11, which are approximately vertical in the first position and come to lie approximately horizontally in the second position. It is shown in the figures in its first standing position. The abutment element 9 has two rows 11, 11 'of transverse, different needles and is shown in the figures in its second position, in which the needles 11' are approximately vertical and the needles 11 are oblique. In the first position of the contact element 9, the needles 11 'are approximately horizontal, while the needles 11 are pivoted by 90 °.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, besitzt auch das Anlageelement 6 zwei Reihen 11, 11' von Nadeln, während das Anlageelement 7 lediglich eine Reihe 11 von Nadeln aufweist.How out Fig. 1 can also see the contact element 6 has two rows 11, 11 'of needles, while the contact element 7 only has a row 11 of needles.

Die Reihen 11' von Nadeln haben eine andere Einteilung als die Reihen 11, zudem sind die Nadeln der Reihen 11' gerade, jene der Reihen 11 abgewinkelt. Die Nadeln der Reihen 11' eignen sich besonders zum Positionieren z.B. von Dunsthaubenfiltern oder Kuchenblechen.The rows 11 'of needles have a different classification than the rows 11, moreover, the needles of the rows 11' are straight, those of the rows 11 angled. The needles of the rows 11 'are particularly suitable for positioning e.g. from extractor filters or baking trays.

Es ist auch möglich, bei den Anlageelementen 6 und 9 auf die Reihen 11' zu verzichten oder deren Nadeln für einen anderen speziellen Zweck auszuformen.It is also possible to dispense with the contact elements 6 and 9 on the rows 11 'or form their needles for another special purpose.

Um die Anlageelemente 8, 9 in der ersten Stellung festzuhalten, ist für jedes Anlageelement je ein Haltemechanismus 14 vorgesehen. Der Aufbau der Haltemechanismen 14 ist am besten aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, wobei in dieser Figur der linke Haltemechanismus 14 ohne Abdeckung 15 dargestellt ist.In order to hold the contact elements 8, 9 in the first position, a holding mechanism 14 is provided for each contact element. The structure of the retaining mechanisms 14 is best Fig. 2 can be seen, in this figure, the left holding mechanism 14 is shown without cover 15.

Jeder Haltemechanismus 14 umfasst einen Riegel 16, der vertikal verschiebbar an mindestens einer der vertikalen Stangen 3b der Seitenwand angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise ist jeder Riegel 16 an je zwei vertikalen Stangen 3b angeordnet, so dass er gegen Rotation gesichert ist. Zur Befestigung des Riegels 16 an den Stangen 3b sind am Riegel 16 Arme 17 angeordnet, welche um die Stangen 3b eingeschnappt sind.Each retaining mechanism 14 includes a latch 16 vertically slidably disposed on at least one of the vertical bars 3b of the side wall. Preferably, each latch 16 is arranged on two vertical bars 3b, so that it is secured against rotation. For attachment of the bolt 16 to the rods 3b 16 arms 17 are arranged on the latch, which are snapped around the rods 3b.

Jeder Riegel 16 besteht aus einen Kunststoffteil, an dessen oberen Ende ein im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufender Griff 18 ausgeformt ist. In der Ausführung nach Fig. 2 erstreckt sich der Griff 18 zwischen den zwei benachbarten Stangen 3b und ist an beiden befestigt.Each latch 16 consists of a plastic part, at the upper end of a substantially horizontally extending handle 18 is formed. In the execution after Fig. 2 the handle 18 extends between the two adjacent bars 3b and is attached to both.

Unter dem Griff 18 ist ein Leeraum 19 vorgesehen, welcher zum Einführen eines oder mehrerer Finger des Benutzers dient. Vorzugsweise ist der Leeraum 19, wie erwähnt, sowohl von der Innen- wie auch der Aussenseite der Seitenwand zugänglich.Under the handle 18, a space 19 is provided which serves to insert one or more fingers of the user. Preferably, the space 19, as mentioned, accessible from both the inside and the outside of the side wall.

Der Leeraum 19 wird seitlich von zwei vertikal verlaufenden Trägern 20 des Riegels 16 begrenzt. Die Träger 20 sind an ihren oberen Enden mit den gegenüber liegenden Enden des jeweiligen Griffs 18 verbunden, und gehen an ihren unteren Enden in einen unteren Teil 21 des Riegels 16 über. Am unteren Teil 21 ist ein Fänger 22 ausgeformt. Der Fänger 22 ragt, im Gegensatz zum Griff 18 und den Trägern 20, etwas in den Innenraum des Korbs hinein. Deshalb ist er vorzugsweise tiefer als der Griff 18 angeordnet, insbesondere in der unteren Hälfte des Korbs, so dass er der Beladung des Korbs mit Geschirr möglichst wenig im Wege steht. Insbesondere ist es deshalb vorteilhaft, den Griff 18 am oberen Ende des Riegels 16 anzuordnen, wo er gut ergriffen werden kann, während der Fänger 22 am unteren Ende des Riegels 16 angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird auch das Risiko reduziert, dass die Finger des Benutzers von dem sich bewegenden Anker 13 eingeklemmt werden.The empty space 19 is bounded laterally by two vertically extending supports 20 of the bolt 16. The carriers 20 are at their upper ends with the opposite lying ends of the respective handle 18, and go over at their lower ends in a lower part 21 of the bolt 16 over. At the lower part 21, a catcher 22 is formed. The catcher 22 protrudes, in contrast to the handle 18 and the carriers 20, slightly into the interior of the basket. Therefore, it is preferably arranged lower than the handle 18, in particular in the lower half of the basket, so that it is as little as possible in the way of loading the basket with dishes. In particular, it is therefore advantageous to arrange the handle 18 at the upper end of the bolt 16, where it can be easily grasped, while the catcher 22 is arranged at the lower end of the bolt 16. This also reduces the risk that the user's fingers will become trapped by the moving armature 13.

Der Fänger 22 bildet eine nach unten gerichtete, im vorliegenden Beispiel leicht gerundet verlaufenden Anlauffläche 24. An die Anlauffläche 24 schliesst eine nach oben gerichtete Vertiefung 25 an. Die Anlauffläche 24 und die Vertiefung 25 sind so positioniert, dass die Spitze des Ankers 13 des jeweiligen Anlageelements 8, 9 beim Verschwenken in die erste Stellung zuerst auf die Anlauffläche 24 trifft, sodann (im Laufe der weiteren Schwenkbewegung) den Riegel 16 anhebt, und schliesslich unter Absenken des Riegels 16 in die Vertiefung 25 eingreift.The catcher 22 forms a downwardly directed, in the present example slightly rounded run-up surface 24. At the contact surface 24 includes an upwardly directed recess 25 at. The contact surface 24 and the recess 25 are positioned so that the tip of the armature 13 of the respective abutment element 8, 9 when pivoting in the first position first meets the stop surface 24, then (in the course of further pivotal movement) raises the latch 16, and finally engages lowering the bolt 16 in the recess 25.

Denkbar ist auch, in der Anlauffläche 24 mehr als nur eine Vertiefung 25 anzuordnen, so dass der Anker 13 in mehreren unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen arretiert werden kann. Die Vertiefungen können so geformt sein, dass jede davon den Anker 13 gegen ein Verschwenken formschlüssig hält, oder es ist denkbar, dass mindestens eine davon eine oder zwei angeschrägte Seitenflächen aufweist, so dass der Anker 13 mit ausreichender Schwenkkraft aus aus der Vertiefung lösbar ist, um ihn z.B. in die nächste Vertiefung zu bewegen.It is also conceivable to arrange more than just one recess 25 in the contact surface 24, so that the armature 13 can be locked in several different angular positions. The recesses may be shaped such that each of them holds the armature 13 in a form-locking manner against pivoting, or it is conceivable that at least one of them has one or two bevelled side surfaces, so that the armature 13 can be released from the recess with sufficient pivoting force, for example, to move him to the next well.

In der Vertiefung 25 wird der Anker 13 bezüglich der Schwenkrichtung vorzugsweise formschlüssig und somit sicher gehalten. Um den Anker 13 und somit das Anlageelement 8, 9 aus der ersten Stellung freizugeben, Ergreift der Benutzer den Griff 18 und hebt den Riegel 16 gegen oben an, so dass der Anker 13 freigegeben wird und das Anlageelement 8 in seine zweite Stellung fallen kann. Um diesen Vorgang zu vereinfachen, ist am Riegel 16 vorzugsweise eine Auswurffeder 26 angeordnet. Diese drückt beim Anheben des Riegels seitlich gegen den Anker 13 des sich in erster Stellung befindlichen Anlegers und beschleunigt diesen zur zweiten Stellung hin.In the recess 25, the armature 13 is preferably held positively with respect to the pivoting direction and thus secure. To release the armature 13 and thus the abutment element 8, 9 from the first position, the user grasps the handle 18 and raises the latch 16 against the top, so that the armature 13 is released and the abutment element 8 can fall into its second position. In order to simplify this process, an ejection spring 26 is preferably arranged on the latch 16. This presses when lifting the bolt laterally against the armature 13 of the investor in the first position and accelerates it to the second position.

Vorzugsweise ist die Auswurffeder als Zunge aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, welche am unteren Ende des Riegels 16 angeordnet ist.Preferably, the ejection spring is formed as a tongue made of plastic, which is arranged at the lower end of the bolt 16.

Um die Wirkung der Auswurffeder 26 zu erhöhen, ist seitlich am Anker 13 mindestens eine Nase 27 angeordnet. Beim Anheben des Riegels 16 läuft die Auswurffeder 26 auf diese Nase 27 auf und wird so deformiert.In order to increase the effect of the ejection spring 26, at least one lug 27 is arranged laterally on the armature 13. When lifting the bolt 16, the ejection spring 26 runs on this nose 27 and is deformed.

Insbesondere bei Verwendung einer Auswurffeder 26 aus Kunststoff sollte vermieden werden, dass die Feder dauernd (und insbesondere während dem Reinigungsbetrieb, wo hohe Temperaturen herrschen) deformiert ist, da es ansonsten zu Ermüdungserscheinungen kommen kann. Deshalb ist die Auswurffeder 26 vorzugsweise so positioniert, dass sie in abgesenkter Stellung des Riegels 16 nicht deformiert ist, selbst wenn das zugehörige Anlageelement sich in erster Stellung befindet. Erst beim Anhaben des Riegels 16, wenn die Auswurffeder 26 auf die Nase 27 aufläuft, wird die Auswurffeder 26 deformiert.In particular, when using an ejection spring 26 made of plastic should be avoided that the spring is permanently deformed (and in particular during the cleaning operation, where high temperatures prevail), otherwise it can lead to fatigue. Therefore, the ejection spring 26 is preferably positioned so that it is not deformed in the lowered position of the bolt 16, even if the associated contact element is in the first position. Only when the bolt 16 is opened, when the ejection spring 26 runs onto the nose 27, the ejection spring 26 is deformed.

Vorzugsweise ist, wie bereits erwähnt, am Haltemechanismus eine Rückstellfeder 28 vorgesehen, welche beim linken Haltemechanismus von Fig. 2 sichtbar ist. Diese Rückstellfeder 28 wirkt einem Anheben des Riegels 16 entgegen.Preferably, as already mentioned, a return spring 28 is provided on the holding mechanism, which in the case of the left-hand holding mechanism of FIG Fig. 2 is visible. This return spring 28 counteracts lifting of the bolt 16.

Hierzu besteht die Rückstellfeder 28 auf einer gebogen verlaufenden Kunststoffzunge, welche an ihrem oberen Ende mit dem Riegel 16 verbunden ist, und deren unteres Ende über ein Formteil 30 mit einer der horizontalen Stangen 3a der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs verbunden ist.For this purpose, the return spring 28 on a curved extending plastic tongue, which at her upper end is connected to the latch 16, and the lower end is connected via a molding 30 with one of the horizontal bars 3a of the side wall of the dish rack.

Die Rückstellfeder 28 ist, wie auch die Auswurffeder 26, vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, dass sie in der abgesenkten Stellung des Riegels 16 nicht deformiert ist und erst beim Anheben des Riegels 16 deformiert wird, um so einer Ermüdung der Feder entgegenzuwirken.The return spring 28, as well as the ejection spring 26, preferably designed so that it is not deformed in the lowered position of the bolt 16 and is deformed only when lifting the bolt 16, so as to counteract fatigue of the spring.

In der vorliegenden Ausführung der Erfindung sind die Rückstellfeder 28 sowie der Riegel 16 als Kunststoffteile ausgestaltet. Sie können einstückig oder mehrstückig ausgestaltet sein.In the present embodiment of the invention, the return spring 28 and the latch 16 are designed as plastic parts. They can be designed in one piece or in several pieces.

Die oben beschriebene Lösung stellt ein schwenkbares Anlageelement bereit, welches in einfacher Weise bedient werden kann. Das Hochklappen erfolgt durch Ergreifen der Nadeln, was für den Benutzer intuitiv verständlich ist. Das Auslösen am Griff 18 kann mit einer Hand erfolgen, sowohl von der Korbinnenseite, als auch von aussen. Beispielsweise kann der Benutzer seinen Zeigefinger in den Leerraum 19 einführen, den Daumen auf die obere horizontale Stange 3a legen, um sodann Zeigefinger und Daumen zusammenzudrücken um den Riegel anzuheben. Die Bedienkräfte sind dank der eingesetzten Federn aus Kunststoff klein und können genau eingestellt werden. Ein Symbol oder Piktorgramm am Riegel 16 kann dem Benutzer dessen Benutzung erklären.The solution described above provides a pivotable contact element, which can be operated in a simple manner. The folding up takes place by grasping the needles, which is intuitively understandable for the user. The triggering on the handle 18 can be done with one hand, both from the basket inside, as well as from the outside. For example, the user may insert his index finger into the void 19, place his thumb on the upper horizontal bar 3a, and then squeeze his index finger and thumb to raise the latch. The operating forces are small thanks to the inserted plastic springs and can be adjusted precisely. A symbol or pictogram on the latch 16 may explain the user's use of it.

Die Auswurffeder 26 stellt sicher, dass das Anlageelement in die richtige Richtung umfälltThe ejection spring 26 ensures that the abutment element falls down in the right direction

Indem der Fänger 22 tief angeordnet wird, bleibt der äusserste Stehplatz für Teller erhalten. Andererseits kann der Griff 18 hoch angeordnet werden, so dass er leicht zu ergreifen ist.By placing the catcher 22 low, the outermost standing space for plates remains intact. On the other hand, the handle 18 can be placed high so that it is easy to grasp.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine zweite Ausführung des Fängers 22. In dieser Ausführung wird die Anlauffläche 24 von einem flexiblen, armförmigen Element 32 gebildet, welches beim Hochklappen des Anlageelements vom Anker 13 in horizontaler Richtung deformiert wird. Am Ende des Elements 32 bildet der Fänger 22 wiederum eine Vertiefung 25, in welcher der Anker 13 unter Entspannung des Elements 32 eingeschnappt und gehalten wird. Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the catcher 22. In this embodiment, the stop surface 24 is formed by a flexible, arm-shaped element 32, which upon folding of the abutment element from the armature 13th deformed in the horizontal direction. At the end of the element 32, the catcher 22 in turn forms a recess 25, in which the armature 13 is snapped and held under relaxation of the element 32.

Generell kann der Anker 13 beim Hochklappen also entweder den ganzen Riegel 16 (wie in der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 und 2) oder nur einen Teil davon (wie in der Ausführung nach Fig. 3) gegen eine elastische Kraft bewegen, um sodann unter Reduktion der elastischen Kraft in die Vertiefung 25 einzugreifen.In general, the armature 13 when folding so either the whole bar 16 (as in the embodiment of Fig. 1 and 2 ) or only part of it (as in the embodiment of Fig. 3 ) to move against an elastic force, then to engage with reduction of the elastic force in the recess 25.

In den bisherigen Ausführungen wird der Anker 13 von einer Kunststoffkappe gebildet, die mit dem riegelseitigen Ende des Trägerstabs 10 verbunden ist. Denkbar ist jedoch auch, auf die Kunststoffkappe zu verzichten, wenn das riegelseitige Ende des Trägerstabs 10 entsprechend ausgeformt wird.In the previous embodiments, the armature 13 is formed by a plastic cap which is connected to the latch side end of the support rod 10. However, it is also conceivable to dispense with the plastic cap when the latch side end of the support rod 10 is formed accordingly.

In der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 und 2 sind die Riegel 14 der Anlageelemente 8 und 9 separat betätigbar. Denkbar ist jedoch auch, für die beiden Analageelemente 8, 9 einen gemeinsamen Riegel vorzusehen, an dessen unteren Ende zwei Fänger 22 angeordnet sind. In diesem Fall können beide Anlageelemente 8, 9 mit nur einer Riegelbetätigung gelöst werden.In the execution after Fig. 1 and 2 are the latch 14 of the contact elements 8 and 9 separately operable. However, it is also conceivable to provide a common bolt for the two analage elements 8, 9, at the lower end of which two catchers 22 are arranged. In this case, both contact elements 8, 9 can be solved with only one locking operation.
