Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure device for connecting two parts according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a closure device comprises a first closure part and a second closure part.
  • the second closure part can be attached to the first closure part in a closing direction for closing the closure device, is held in a closed position on the first closure part, is movable to open the closure device in a direction different from the closing direction opening direction to the first closure part and can after opening the Closing device for separating the closure parts against the closing direction are removed from the first closure part.
  • the opening direction is different from the closing direction, it should be understood in the present case that the opening direction points in a direction other than the closing direction and in particular is also not directed opposite to the closing direction.
  • the opening direction thus has an angle different to 0 ° and 180 ° to the closing direction.
  • magnetic means are provided which act between the first closure member and the second closure member to assist closure of the closure device by providing a magnetic attractive force.
  • Such a closure device is for example from the WO 2008/006357 A2 known.
  • opening and separating the closure parts done in the manner of a circulation movement.
  • To close the closure parts are attached in a closing direction to each other.
  • To open the closure parts are moved along a different direction from the closing direction, for example, directed transversely to the closing direction opening direction to each other, so that a stop between the closure parts is released.
  • the closure parts can then be separated from each other by being removed from each other in the opposite direction to the closing direction.
  • For re-closing the closure parts can then be set again in the closing direction together.
  • the individual actuation phases are present here as “closing” (corresponding to the attachment of the second closure part to the first closure part for closing the closure device), “opening” (corresponding to the opening of the closure device by moving the second closure part in the opening direction relative to the first closure part) and “Disconnect” (corresponding to the movement of the second closure member against the closing direction relative to the first closure member for removing the closure members from each other).
  • closure device In the case of such a closure device, it can happen that, after opening the closure device and after a (small) separation path of the closure parts, the closure parts are returned to one another, ie, a movement of the second closure part against the opening direction relative to the first closure part, and the closure parts are automatically pulled back into the closing position due to the magnetic means, so that the closure device immediately closes again.
  • This can be uncomfortable for a user, and the closure device may possibly be difficult to operate because the closure device accidentally snaps back after opening, so that the closure device must be opened again.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a closure device available in which the opening can be done in a haptic pleasant way and in particular a snap immediately after opening is not readily possible.
  • locking means are provided in the closure device, which are designed to lock a back movement of the second closure part against the opening direction relative to the first closure part during separation of the closure parts.
  • the present invention is based on the idea, when separating the closure parts from one another, that a return of the closure parts to one another, ie a return movement of the second closure part against the opening direction relative to the first closure part, can not take place directly and without further ado. Due to the fact that such a provision is blocked at least in sections when the closure parts are separated from each other, the second closure part can not directly reach a position relative to the first closure part, in which the second closure part is pulled again in the closing direction towards the first closure part. By means of the blocking means, snapping-on of the closure device immediately after opening during separation of the closure parts from one another is thus prevented, so that the closure parts can be reliably removed from each other and separated from each other at least over a predetermined path.
  • the magnetic attraction is at least attenuated when opening the closure device.
  • the magnetic means for example a magnet on the one closure part and a magnetic anchor of a ferromagnetic material on the other closure part or a magnet on each of the one and the other closure part - cause a magnetic attraction between the closure parts when the closure parts in a to be able to close suitable location.
  • the magnetic means are advantageously dimensioned so that the closure of the closure device is largely automatic, so that a user must bring the closure parts only in a suitable positional relationship to each other and the Close then under the action of the magnetic means largely automatically goes on itself.
  • the magnetic means are magnetically attractive and are approximated to each other, so that the magnetic attraction force is comparatively large.
  • the magnetic means on the first closure part, on the one hand, and on the second closure part, on the other hand are then separated from each other, for example sheared off by a tangential sliding or twisting movement, so that the magnetic attraction of the magnetic means is weakened.
  • a reversal of the magnetic force can be effected by the magnets repelling each other after opening. While in the closed position the magnets of the closure parts facing each other in pairs with unlike poles, the same poles of the magnets are approached when opening, so that the magnets act magnetically repulsive and thus magnetically support the separation of the closure parts after opening.
  • means are provided which are designed to support the separation of the closure parts after opening the closure device magnetically or spring-mechanically.
  • These means may be realized by the magnetic means themselves, as previously described, by the magnetic means acting magnetically repulsive after opening and thus magnetically assisting in the separation of the closure members.
  • mechanical means for example a mechanical spring, can be provided which are mechanically biased during closing and / or opening and then cause an ejection force against the closing direction for mechanically assisted separation of the closure parts from each other after opening.
  • means can be provided which bring about a return of the closure parts against the opening direction to a position in which the second closure part can be attached in the closing direction to the first closure part for closing the closure device, after the second closure part for separating the closure parts over a predetermined path against the closing direction has been moved relative to the first closure member.
  • the return means can be realized, for example, by the magnetic means of the closure parts themselves, which, when the second closure part is re-attached to the first closure part, bring the closure parts into a position in which closure of the closure device is possible.
  • the first closure part and the second closure part are mechanically locked together in the closed position. Due to the mechanical locking, the second closure part can not be moved counter to the closing direction from the closed position relative to the first closure part. Due to the mechanical latching the two closure parts are thus held together in the closed position, so that the closure device produces a secure, reliable, heavy-duty connection between the closure parts when the force is applied against the closing direction.
  • the mechanical latching can be achieved by moving the second shutter member in the opening direction relative to the first shutter member by moving the mechanically latched members toward each other in the opening direction, for example, across the closing direction, so that the second shutter member disengages from the first shutter member ,
  • one of the closure parts can, for example, have a detent spring element and the other of the closure parts can have at least one latching projection.
  • the detent spring element and the at least one latching projection engage with one another in a mechanically latching manner, so that movement of the second closure part against the closed position is blocked relative to the first closure part.
  • To open the second closure part can then be moved or rotated to the first closure part, so that the latching projection slides out of engagement with the detent spring element and the mechanical latching is thus canceled.
  • the blocking means are formed by a slide guide track for guiding the second closure part at least in sections during opening of the closure device and / or during separation of the closure parts.
  • the Sliding guide track has at least one contact section, which blocks a back movement of the second closure part against the opening direction relative to the first closure part during separation of the closure parts.
  • the slide guide track is arranged on one of the closure parts and is engaged, for example, with a pin or another suitable positive locking element on the other of the closure parts. As a result of the engagement, the closure parts are guided relative to one another during opening and / or during separation, wherein the pin or the form-locking element is in contact with the contact section during separation and thus prevents backward movement of the second closure part against the opening direction.
  • the gate guide track has a first gate section for guiding the second shutter part relative to the first shutter part in the closing direction when closing and a second gate guide section for guiding the second shutter part relative to the first shutter part in the opening direction when opening.
  • a third slide guide section may be provided, which guides the second closure part relative to the first closure part against the closing direction during separation (after opening the closure device). The sliding guide track thus indicates the movement of the second closure part relative to the first closure part during closing, opening and optionally also during separation and thus describes the circulation movement that the second closure part relative to the first closure part first when closing, then when opening and finally during separation performs.
  • the blocking means may also be formed by a latching guide which, when opened, establishes a mechanical latching connection of the closure parts for blocking a return movement of the second closure part against the opening direction relative to the first closure part.
  • the latching guide engages at one of the closure parts, for example, with a latching hook on the other of the closure parts into engagement, wherein the engagement is such that the second closure part can not be moved back against the opening direction.
  • the latching guide provides a guide against the closing direction for separating the closure parts from one another, so that after opening the closure parts can be separated from one another in a guided manner and thus removed from one another.
  • the locking guide in this case provides a guide against the closing direction over a predetermined path. After the predetermined separation, the closure parts can be moved freely back to each other and thus be placed in a position to each other in which they can be put back to each other to close the closure device.
  • the second closure part is connected to an actuating element and guided on the actuating element such that for opening the closure device, the actuating element is to move in an actuating direction different from the opening direction relative to the second closure part and the movement of the actuating element in a movement of the second closure part is converted in the opening direction.
  • the actuating element By means of the actuating element, the second closure part can in this case be moved in the opening direction, wherein the actuating movement of the actuating element is different from the movement of the second closure part when opening.
  • the actuator for actuating in an actuating direction is different from the opening direction to move, and due to the positive guidance, the actuating movement is converted into a movement of the second closure member in the opening direction.
  • the direction of actuation should be different from the opening direction, is to be understood in the present case that the actuation direction and the opening direction are not rectified to each other, so describe an angle different 0 degrees to each other.
  • the actuating direction - unlike the opening direction with respect to the closing direction - may also be directed opposite to the opening direction.
  • the actuation direction may be the same or opposite to the closing direction, so that the actuating element for opening the closure device is to be moved in or counter to the closing direction relative to the second closure part.
  • Such an actuating element can be used in an advantageous manner, for example when using the closure device on a piece of furniture, for example on a drawer, a sliding door or a swing door use.
  • the actuating element can be connected, for example, integrally with a drawer, wherein by pressure on the drawer (in the closing direction) a movement of the second closure part in the opening direction (for example, transversely to the closing direction) is effected, so that by pressing the drawer, the closure device can be solved.
  • this may look like a sliding door.
  • the actuating element is for example formed integrally with the sliding door, so that the second closure part is moved in the opening direction (for example, transversely to the closing direction) by moving the sliding door in the closing direction.
  • the second closure part may for example be forcibly guided on the actuating element via a guide device such that upon movement of the actuating element in the actuating direction the second closure part is moved in the opening direction relative to the first closure part.
  • the guide device thus the movement of the actuating element in the actuating direction is converted into a movement of the second closure member in the opening direction
  • the guide means may be formed, for example, as a slanted guide with at least one oblique guideway or as a thread guide with at least one thread groove.
  • An oblique guide can be used in particular when the second closure part is to be displaced linearly (in a straight line) relative to the first closure part for opening.
  • a thread guide can be used, for example, when the second closure part is to be moved to open in rotation relative to the first closure part.
  • a forced operation or forced coupling for example, a gearbox using gears, a cable guide using a suitable cable drive, a parallelogram or a pivoting guide using a lever mechanism.
  • damping means may be provided in an advantageous development, which are designed to damp a transmission of force from the actuating element to the second closure part upon movement of the actuating element in the actuating direction.
  • a power transmission is thus not directly in a rigid manner, but in a damped manner via the damping means, which may be configured, for example, that between the actuating element and the second closure member elastically resilient (damping) elements are arranged.
  • the damping means By means of the damping means can be prevented, for example, that in a shock or another Force on the actuator, which is not related to a conscious operation, no unwanted opening takes place.
  • the damping means may be formed, for example, as a pneumatic or hydraulic damper, which acts at pulsed load damping between the actuating element and the second closure member and blocks a pulse-like force or at least brakes. This can ensure that e.g. when used on a sliding door in a vehicle actuation of the closure device can not be done in a vehicle braking or a crash or other impulsive load.

  • the detent spring arms 210 can deflect radially outward, so that the detent projections 312 urge the detent spring arms 210 aside and engage in detent engagement with the detent spring arms 210, as shown in FIG Figs. 4C, 5C and 6C is shown.
  • the locking projections 312 engage behind the latch spring arms 210 so that the first closure part 2 and the second closure part 3 are mechanically locked together and the second closure part 3 can thus not (more) be removed from the first closure part 2 counter to the closing direction X.
  • Closing is largely automatic due to the magnetic attraction between the magnets 22, 23, 314, 315.
  • the magnets are 22, 23, 314, 315 in pairs opposite with opposite poles, so that the closure parts 2, 3 and magnetic held in position to each other.
  • the actuating element 30 is pressed by pressing on the actuating part 34 in one of the closing directions X corresponding actuating direction B in the receiving opening 200 of the housing 20 of the first closure parts 2, as shown in Figs. 4D, 5D and 6D is shown. Due to the positive guidance between the actuating element 30 and the guide part 31 via the threaded guide realized by the thread grooves 316 and the thread legs 304, the guide part 31 is rotated in an opening direction Y (which is rotationally directed around the closing direction X), so that the latching projections 312 each move in a gate section 251 in a direction of movement V2 (see Fig. 3B ).
  • the Guide member 31 is hereby rotated by a little less than 180 °, so that each locking projection 312 is moved towards the opposite sliding guide track 25 (in Fig. 3B only one slide guide track 25 is shown). If each latching projection 312 has reached the assigned slide section 252, then the latching projection 312 moves into the slide section 252 and moves in a direction of movement V3 counter to the closing direction X, also caused by the now repulsive magnets 22, 23, 314, 315, which have been rotated together with the guide member 31 are such that poles of the same name of the magnets 22, 23, 314, 315 in pairs face each other and thus repel.
  • the latching projections 312 thus pass along the link sections 252 past the latching spring arms 210 of the latching spring element 21, so that the second closure part 3 can be removed from the receiving opening 200 of the housing 20 of the first closure part 2. This is in FIGS. 4E, 5E and 6E shown.
  • the locking projections 312 can retract straight into the respective associated link section 252 of the opposite slide guide track 25.
  • the latching projections 312 respectively come into abutment with a contact section 253 which laterally delimits the slotted section 252 and which causes the guide element 31 to not be pivoted back against the opening direction Y when the second closure part 3 is removed from the receiving opening 200.
  • the abutment portions 253 of the two slide guide tracks 25 thus realize locking means for blocking a return movement of the guide member 31st
  • the latching projections 312 continue to slide along the slide guide track 25 when the guide element 31 is removed, they enter the respectively assigned slide section 254 and are thus adjusted obliquely in a direction of movement V4 in the direction of the entry point 255 of the associated slide guide track 25. Because of this oblique guide, the guide member 31 is further rotated relative to the actuator 30, so that the guide member 31 is now rotated by exactly 180 ° relative to the actuator 30. In this position, the locking projections 312 and also the webs 302 emerge from the entry points 255 of the slide guide tracks 25, as shown in FIG Figs. 4F, 5F and 6F is shown.
  • Locking means are also realized in this embodiment by two slide guide tracks 25, the abutment sections 253, which in the separation of the closure parts 2, 3 in front of each other (shown in FIG Fig. 4E, 5E, 6E and 4F, 5F, 6F ) Lock a return movement of the guide member 31 against the opening direction Y.
  • FIG. 7, 8 and 9A to 9D illustrated another embodiment of a closure device 1 has two closure parts 2, 3, of which a second closure part 3 is at least partially enclosed by a first closure part 2 and with a handle 37 an opening 26 passes through.
  • the second closure part 3 can be brought into different positions relative to the first closure part 2, but can not be completely detached from the first closure part 2.
  • the second closure part 3 is located with a pin 36 (see Fig. 8 ) in a gate guide track 25 of the first closure part 2 and is guided in this way on the first closure part 2.
  • the second closure part 3 is brought closer to a bottom 22 of the first closure part 2 in a closing direction X, with magnets 314, 315 of the second closure part 3 (see FIG Fig. 8 ) the magnets 22, 23 of the first closure part 2 with unlike poles face and thus a magnetic attraction during closing of the closure device 1 is effected.
  • the pin 36 slides along a link portion 250 of the sliding guide track 25th
  • Fig. 9A shows the closure device 1 in a closed position in which the second closure part 3 is magnetically held on the bottom of the first closure part 2 carrying the magnets 22, 23.
  • an actuating element 4 can be moved in an actuating direction B in order to move the second closure part 3 in the direction of actuation B relative to the first closure part 2.
  • the second closure part 3 slides with its pin 36 in a gate section 251 of the sliding guide track 25 and moves in an opening direction Y relative to the magnets 22, 23 supporting bottom of the first closure part 2, so that the same name magnets 22, 315 of the first closure part. 2 and the second closure part 3 are brought into opposing position and thus a magnetic repulsive force is effected, which causes a separation of the second closure part 3 from the bottom of the first closure part 2 supporting the magnets 22, 23 against the closing direction X.
  • It runs, as in Fig. 9C shown, the pin 36 in a gate section 252, wherein the gate section 252 laterally limiting contact portion 253 prevents a return movement of the second closure member 3 against the opening direction Y.
  • a closure device 1 two closure parts 2, 3.
  • the closure parts 2, 3 are separated from each other (see 10A, 10B and 11th ).
  • Magnets 22, 23, 314, 315 are arranged on the closure parts 2, 3, which bring about a magnetic attraction force relative to one another, so that when the closure parts 2, 3 are attached to each other, a second closure part 3 automatically engages in the in Figs. 12A, 13A shown closed position is pulled.
  • the magnets 22, 23, 314, 315 are magnetically attractive, so that the second closure part 3 is held on the first closure part 2.
  • the second closure part 3 is moved in an opening direction Y relative to the first closure part 2 (see FIG Fig. 12B, 13B ).
  • the magnets 22, 23 relative to the magnets 314, 315 tangentially shifted ("sheared off"), so that the magnetic attraction in the closed position is reversed in a repulsive force (see Fig. 12B ).
  • a latching hook 38 of the second closure part 3 engages latchingly with a latching guide 27 of the first closure part 2, so that a return movement of the second closure part 3 against the opening direction Y is blocked.
  • the locking guide 27 realized insofar a locking means.
  • the latching guide 27 is designed such that a return movement of the second closure part 3 is locked against the opening direction Y, at the same time the closure parts 2, 3 but against the closing direction X can be separated from each other. The separation is assisted magnetically due to the repulsive force acting on separation, wherein due to the load guide 27, the closure parts 2, 3 can not immediately return to their closed position and thus the closure device 1 can not snap back immediately.
  • Figs. 12C, 13C show the closure device 1 at separate closure parts 2, 3, the locking guide 27 releases the latching hook 38 after a separation movement by a distance H corresponding to the height of the latching guide 27 and the second experimental part 3 thus against the opening direction Y in the starting position according to Figs. 12D, 13D can be reset.
  • This provision can be effected due to the acting magnetic forces between the magnets 22, 23, 314, 315.
  • additional means for example in the form of a mechanical spring, which is tensioned when the closure device 1 is opened.
  • a closure device of the type described above is advantageously used as a closure for furniture.
  • the closure device can serve as a closure for furniture doors, drawers, sliding doors or the like.
  • a closure device of the type described above can also be used as a closure for a bag, as a closure for a safety belt or for any other closures in which two parts securely and resiliently connected are to be and in which an opening in a lighter, haptic pleasant way should be possible to find use.
