Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bulkhead apparatus which enables to compartmentalize particular vehicle cabins.
- the cabins of these vehicles which are used for carrying loads are generally offered as an empty space (volume).
- the user can customize this cabin according to her/his needs. These customizations include the placement of shelves into the cabin, the partitioning of this cabin and similar alternatives.
- Bulkhead apparatuses are used for dividing the cabinets into compartments.
- such a bulkhead may be used to prevent the domestic animal from passing from the rear part of the vehicle to the front part. That is to say, the need to divide the vehicle cabins into compartments is not present only in commercial vehicles, but also in passenger cars.
- the United States patent document no. US3168055 an application in the state of the art, discloses a bulkhead for railroad cars. The fixing pins provided on the said bulkhead are pushed into the pin apertures by means of a spring.
- None of the state of the art documents include a bulkhead which can be easily mounted and removed and despite this facility, does not open in the event of a collision.
- the objective of the present invention is to provide a bulkhead apparatus that can be easily mounted and removed.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a bulkhead which is not displaced in case of a collision.
- Figure 1 is a view of the closed position of one embodiment of the bulkhead apparatus.
- Figure 2. is a view of the open position of one embodiment of the bulkhead apparatus.
- Figure 3. is a close up view of the lock mechanism and the lock striker of the bulkhead apparatus.
- Figure 4. is a view of the unlocked position of the bulkhead apparatus.
- Figure 5. is a view of the locked position of the bulkhead apparatus.
- the bulkhead apparatus (1) which enables particularly the vehicle cabins to be safely compartmentalized essentially comprises
- At least one bulkhead (2) which enables to partition the space that is intended to be compartmentalized, at least one lock mechanism (3) which enables the bulkhead (2) to be locked and unlocked,
- At least one lock striker (4) into which the lock mechanism (3) fits and which prevents movement of the bulkhead (2) together with the lock mechanism (3).
- the bulkhead apparatus (1) of the present invention comprises a bulkhead which enables to a space by compartmentalizing it.
- This bulkhead (2) preferably comprises a hinge around which it can rotate.
- the bulkhead (2) can be thought of as a door wing.
- the bulkhead (2) can be opened and closed upon being rotated around this hinge. After the bulkhead (2) is closed, it is locked by means of the lock mechanism (3) and the lock striker (4) thereby preventing opening of the bulkhead.
- this configuration is an example and other configurations of the invention are possible.
- the lock mechanism (3) comprises at least one hollow bushing (31),
- At least one spring (36) which enables the shaft (32) to be brought to a predetermined position
- At least one lock pipe (39) which enables the lock mechanism (3) to be fixed to the bulkhead (2) and onto which particularly the bushing (31) and the collar (38) are fixed.
- the lock striker (4) comprises
- At least one lock bracket (41) which enables the lock striker (4) to be fixed, at least one opening (42), which is located on the lock bracket (41), and which allows the lock end (34) and the lug (35) to pass therethrough in one position of the latch (33) and does not allow the lock end (34) and the lug (35) to pass therethrough in another position of the latch (33),
- the user pushes the latch (33) towards the lock striker (4), enabling the lock end (34) to enter into the opening (42).
- the user then rotates the shaft (32) about its own axis and moves the latch (33) in the channel (381) provided on the collar (38).
- the lock end (34) and the lug (35) cannot pass through the opening (42).
- the lock mechanism (3) remains locked in the lock striker (4).
- the lock mechanism (3) is prevented from being detached from the lock striker (4).
- the user rotates the latch (33) to a position opposite to the position previously turned and positions the lock end (34) and the lug (35) so as to pass through the opening (42).
- the restoring force of the spring (36) moves the lock mechanism (3) away from the lock striker (4).
- the lock end (3) moves away from the lock striker (4) and the bulkhead (2) is released.
- the lock pipe (39), the bushing (31) and the collar (38) can be produced as a single piece, they can also be produced as different pieces and then assembled.
- a plug (37) is provided in the portion of the bushing (31) that is distant to the latch (33).
- the plug (37) in particular prevents the spring (36) from getting out of the bushing (31).
- a plug (37) can also be provided at the end of the bushing (31) that is close to the latch (33).
- the bushing (31) may be in the form of a hollow cylinder with one end open and the other closed. If the bushing (31) is in a form as mentioned above, it is not necessary to use a plug (37) on the closed end of the bushing (31).
- the bulkhead (2) has a completely detachable structure. Thus, when not in use, the bulkhead (2) can be removed from the vehicle and thus it is prevented from occupying space the vehicle.
- the lock mechanism (3) comprises two lugs (35).
- the lugs (35) are configured as in the form of“t”.
- the cross-sectional view of the shaft (32) and the lugs (35) is in the form of 0.
- the shape of the lock bracket (41) is preferably a more angular shape of the letter“P”. It can be considered that a portion of the protruding part of the letter“P” is almost parallel with the long edge of this letter.
- the opening (42) is located on the portion of the protruding part of the letter "P” parallel to the long edge of the letter.
- the slot (42) is located on the long edge and almost on the projection of the opening on the long edge.
- the lugs (35) are passed through the opening (42), and are rotated upon being inserted into the space remaining between the long edge and the portion of the protrusion hat is parallel to this edge.
- the bulkhead apparatus (1) of the present invention may comprise more than one lock striker (4) for each lock mechanism (3).
- the bulkhead (2) can be fixed in more than one position.
- the lock striker (4) can be positioned anywhere in the vehicle.
- the lock mechanism (3) can be fixed to a lock striker (4) on the seat.
- the places where the key striker (4) can be located in the vehicle is not limited to the above given example. It is clear that there may be many configurations for fixing the bulkhead apparatus (1) of the present invention. For example, while one side of the bulkhead (2) can be fixed using the lock mechanism (3), the other part can be fixed by using a mechanism which is already available in the state of the art or can be developed in the future.
