Definitions

  • a motor-vehicle latch has a U-shaped housing whose legs are secured to a cover plate bridging the legs, e.g. on a door edge, and whose web is formed with a laterally open notch which receives a bolt extending from a doorpost when the door is closed.
  • a bifurcate lock pawl is pivoted in the housing and has a pair of arms which straddle the bolt in the closed position of the door.
  • a keeper engages one of the arms of the pawl to hold the door closed.
  • a pair of ramps which converge, in the direction of door closure toward a plane including the bolt axis as the door is closed receive the bolt head as soon as it enters the notch and guide this bolt continuouslyback into the throat of the latch. The bolt only strikes one of the arms and is straddled by the arms without engagement of the bolt in the bight of the pawl.
  • the ramps can be supported against the legs of the housing on elastomeric cushions and are formed of a synthetic resin.
  • the present invention relates to a latch and more particularly, to a door latch for use on a motor vehicle.
  • a common type of motor-vehicle door latch has a U- shaped housing whose legs are attached to a door edge.
  • the web of this housing is formed with a notch into which a bolt extending from the vehicle doorpost is received when the door is closed.
  • a bifurcate locking pawl which is carried on a pin pivoted in the web and in the cover plate.
  • a keeper is pivotal to engage an arm of the pawl so as to retain the bolt in the notch.
  • Mechanism is provided to operate the keeper by pivoting it to release the pawl and allow the door to be opened.
  • Another object is to provide such a latch which closes easily and quietly.
  • Yet another object is the provision of such a latch which has a long service life and is inexpensive to manufacture.
  • a further object is to provide a latch which cannot be forced open as easily as the above-described prior-art latches.
  • Such a lock is quiet and operates extremely easily. Since it does not strike the bight of the pawlto pivot is around, the door is-not cammed up or down and less force is needed to close it. In addition, due to the straight-line, path followed by the bolt, the latch can be relatively lightly constructed and still have a long service life.
  • the ramp over the guide adjacent the keeper has a skirt which completely covers this keeper, preventing entry of a tool for opening the door without the key.
  • a latch is extremely difficult to force.
  • the locking bolt engages the two ramps as soon as it enters the notch in the housings web. These ramps guide the bolt back past the pawl into the base of the notch. At no time does the bolt engage the. web of the housing, since the notch is made larger than the, outwardly flaring opening formed by the ramps so that the door closes extremely quietly, the only contact being that of the bolt against the arm of the pawl with the keeper latching into place behind the pawl to lock it.
  • FIG. I is a vertical axial section through a first embodiment of the latch according to the present invention.
  • a motor-vehicle latch has a housing 1' formed of a web 27 from which extend two planar and flat legs 2 and 2".
  • a cover plate 3 bridges flanges 28 extending outwardly from the legs 2 and 2" and is adapted to be secured to the edge of a motorvehicle door 29.
  • the web 27 is formed with a laterally open notch 11 whose inside edges diverge outwardly and converge inwardly.
  • a bolt 12 secured to a motorvehicle doorpost 30 is adapted to enter the notch 11 with clearance in the direction of convergence of the edge thereof.
  • a stepped steel pin 4 extends axially between the plate B and the web 27. Pivotal on this pin between a shoulder 31 thereon and the web 27 is a bifurcate pawl 32 having a pair of arms 5 and 6 defining a throat 7.
  • the leg 5 is formed: with a notch 33 into which a projection 34 of a keeper 8 is engageable, as described in the aforementioned copending application Ser. No. 220,037 filed Jan. 24,, 1972.
  • Means 35 is provided as described in that application for rotating this keeper 8 to free the pawl 32 and allow the latch to open.
  • a unitarily injection molded inherently resilient body 36 is received between the web 27 and cover plate 3 and formed with a pair of ramps 9 and 10 which guide the bolt 12 along the straight path shown by arrow 13.
  • These ramps 9 and 10 are symmetrical about a plane P lying along the direction 13 and the center axis A of the bolt in the closed position shown in FIG. 3. In this manner as the bolt enters the housing 1 in direction 13 it is received in a mouth formed by the ramps 9 and 10 and guided into the latch without deflection either up or down. This insures a quiet and smooth latching of the door.
  • the synthetic-resin body 36 need not be a solid block, but can be largely hollow. It is formed by injection molding with a chamber 37 in which a spring 38 bears on a pin 39 extending axially from the pawl 32 so as to bias this pawl in the clockwise direction, into the open position, shown in FIG. 2 in broken lines. In addition the body is formed below the lower ramp 10 with a chamber 14 and above the upper ramp 9 with a chamber 14" into which rubber or other molded elastomeric bodies 15' and 15", respectively, are fitted.
  • the bolt 12 has an enlarged head 18 which engages these surfaces 9 and 10 and deflects them outwardly from the plane P against their cushions l and 15', respectively, as this bolt 12 moves along plane P from the broken-line position of FIG. 2 to the solid-line position.
  • the housing 1 is formed with a bent-over back wall 40 formed with an opening 41 which accommodates the leg 6 of the pawl 32 in its closed position. This back wall'40 supports the body 36 so that it is not pushed out of the housing 1 as the door is closed.
  • a third elastomeric cushion 17 is provided at the base of the throat of the latch so that the latch comes to rest with the bolt head 18 resting against it.
  • the lower ramp acts as a shield 16 for the keeper 8 so that this element is only exposed at the place where it meets the pawl 32 in order that unauthorized opening of the latch by operation of the keeper from without is almost impossible. Even if only one of the ramps 9, 10 is provided, it can be arranged to give the necessary theft protection.
  • the body 36 is formed as a single integral piece as in FIGS. 1-3 it is possible as shown in FIG. 4 to form it of two separate pieces 36a and 36a".
  • the piece 36a above the plane P is not provided with a cushion, but relies on its own inherent elasticity to cushion the head 18 of the bolt 12.
  • FIG. 5 is identical to that of FIGS. 1-3 except that here the body 36b is formed with a nonintegral shield 16b forming the lower ramp 10. A cushion b in a chamber 14b under this shieldlfib is keyed into the lower half of the body 36b at 42.
  • the bolt 12b here has a head 18b formed with a pair of converging flanks 18b and 18b" having the same inclination relative to the plane P as the ramps 9 and 10.
  • FIG. 6 the same system as that of FIG. 5 is used, except that the upper ramp is formed of an independent ramp member 43 under which a cushion 15c in a space is provided. Thiscushion 15c is keyed into the body 360.
  • the bolt 12 never comes to rest in the throat or'crotch 7 between the two. arms 5 and 6. In this manner the bolt strikes the inside of the arm 6 adjacent its end and pivots the pawl 32 around, at the same time riding up the arm toward the ill crotch 7.
  • the bolt finally comes to rest, in the FIG. 2 solid-line position, it is still spaced away from the base 7 of the gap between the legs 5 and 6, and is wedged between the ramps 9 and 10, the leg 5, and the rear cushion '17. It is in contact with only one of the legs 5 for tightest fit.
  • there is no harsh click as the bolt strikes the pawl at the crotch between the two arms as is the case in prior-art latches of this general type.
  • FIGS. 79 shows an arrangement wherein the lower ramp 10 is extended as a shield 16 which is provided with axially extending lugs 20 received in bores 21 in the cover plate 3.
  • a back cushion 17d is provided which is keyed into the body 36d at 26.
  • the shield 16 covers the pivot pin 19 of the keeper 8 which has its one end received in a sleeve or cup 22 in turn received in a bore 44 formed in the web 27.
  • the shield is formed at 25 with a sleeve-like projection which guides the keeper 8 in the cover plate 3 so that noise is reduced to a minimum and wear is decreased.
  • the shield 16 extends over the end of the housing 1 below the keeper 8 with an extension 23 forming an integral part of the portion 24 constituting the ramp 10.
  • the body 36d is made of a tough synthetic resin such as Nylon, a polyamide, and is fonned by injection molding.
