Description

DESCRIPTION

Locking device with wing catcher

The present invention relates to a locking device for a door or the like. With a fixed frame and a leaf, comprising a main lock on the leaf with a bolt which can be actuated by means of a locking element, in particular a key, by means of a bolt actuating device and one by means of the locking element and also by means of a bolt Door handle or the like. Can be actuated via a latch actuating device for engaging in a striking plate on the frame side and comprising a wing catch device on the casement which is separate from the main lock and has a driving pin which, in a housing of the wing catching device, with the aid of a driving pin actuating device between a release position and a driving position is movably mounted and which, when the sash is closed, disengages in its release division from an engagement section of a gap opening limiter attached to the fixed frame and in its driving position In engagement with the engagement section is to take the gap opening limiter when the wing is opened until a maximum possible gap opening position of the wing determined by the gap opening limiter is reached, the main lock and the wing catching device being coupled to one another in such a way that the driving pin from The main lock can be brought from the driving position into the release position by means of the locking element.

Such a locking device is known for example from DE 35 03 466 C2. This is a locking device for a door, in which the main lock is designed as a drive rod lock with a drive rod coupled to the bolt actuating device. The drive rod serves on the one hand for the mechanical coupling of the main lock with at least one additional lock separate from the main lock, each with an additional bolt. By coupling the main The lock with the at least one additional lock by means of the drive rod ensures that the additional bolt or bolts are also actuated by means of a key when the main lock bolt is actuated from the main lock. When the lock of the main lock is extended, the additional lock of the at least one additional lock is also extended (with corresponding displacement of the drive rod in one direction) and when the lock of the main lock is pulled in, the additional lock of the at least one additional lock is moved (with displacement of the drive rod in the opposite direction) Direction retracted).

The wing catch device of the known locking device, also referred to below as the door catch device, has a handle with which the driving pin can only be moved back and forth from the inside of the door between the release position and the driving position, in the present case retracted or can be extended.

If the driving pin is arranged in the driving position, the door could only be opened from the outside up to the maximum possible gap opening position of the wing, provided that there was no possibility of transferring the driving pin from the outside of the door to the release position. So that the driving bolt can be transferred from the locking position into the driving position from the outside of the door, so that the door can thus also be fully opened from the outside, in the known locking device the door catch device is also used to couple the at least one additional lock driving rod provided with the main lock coupled to the main lock. For this purpose, the drive rod has a cam fixed to the drive rod in the region of the door catch device, which is arranged in a first position when the bolt is retracted on one side of the driving bolt and in a second position when the bolt is extended on the other side of the driving bolt . When extending or retracting the bolt, the cam moves between the first and the second position. When the driving pin is arranged in the driving position, the cam interacts with a shoulder on the driving pin and, during its movement between the first and the second position, transfers the driving pin into the release position, thus pulling it into the door catch device.

The above explanations make it clear that in order to transfer the driving bolt from the driving position into the release position, the main lock has to be closed in order to extend or retract the bolt. If the driving bolt is arranged in the driving position, but the bolt is not extended on the other hand, the bolt must first be extended to actuate the driving bolt by means of the locking element or key from the main lock, that is to say the locking device must be locked so that the cam on the drive rod passes the driving pin and thereby brings the driving pin into the release position. Now, however, the locking device is closed and it must be unlocked again, ie the bolt must be retracted.

With the assumed constellation, a complete locking cycle is therefore necessary in order to bring the driving bolt from the driving position into the release position from the main lock by means of the locking element. The normal sequence when opening a door by means of a key or the like is considerably disturbed, since usually the key is simply inserted into the lock and is closed in the opening direction for the purpose of pulling in the latch and previously possibly pulling in the bolt until the door can be opened. In the constellation described, it must first be closed in the locking direction in order to bring the driving bolt into the release position, and only then can it be closed in the usual opening direction in order to open the door. From an ergonomic point of view, the procedure described when opening the door from the outside is extremely unfavorable. The constellation described in the following also makes it clear that the known locking device is ergonomically unfavorable, so that incorrect operation of the locking device which even affects safety can easily occur.

Assume that a person wants to open a flat door equipped with the known locking device from the inside while securing the door with the door catch device, for example because people unknown to the person have rung the bell. The person will then bring the driving pin into the driving position by actuating the door catch device accordingly. If the door is not locked, the door can now be opened by actuating the door handle or the like to actuate the latch, and the door is secured against opening beyond the maximum possible gap opening position by the door catch device. However, if the door is locked, i.e. the bolt of the main lock is extended, the door must first be unlocked to open the door, i.e. the bolt must be retracted. Here, however, the driving pin is now brought back into the release division. The door can now be opened freely if the latch is activated. To restore the safety function of the door catch device, the person must therefore actuate the door catch device again so that the driving pin is brought back into the driving position. A renewed operation of the door catch device may be easily forgotten. Especially people who have a special need for the protection provided by the door catch device, e.g. Children or the elderly may be overwhelmed to operate the known locking device in the manner required to ensure adequate security.

Another possibility of incorrect operation should be mentioned in the known locking device. The person who wants to open the door from the inside may try to hold the driving bolt in the driving position by holding a handle, knob or the like accordingly. the door catch device, while if necessary, it unlocks the door, i.e. it wants to retract the bolt of the main lock. However, if the driving pin is held in the driving position, the drive rod is also blocked against displacement in the direction corresponding to the unlocking, since the cam must pass the driving pin. Thus, the door cannot be unlocked or can only be unlocked with great difficulty against the force exerted on the handle of the door catch device.

The above examples make it clear that the known locking device is very disadvantageous from an ergonomic point of view and that there is a possibility of incorrect operation which has a considerably negative impact on safety.

In contrast, it is an object of the invention to provide a locking device of the above. Provide a type that is ergonomically inexpensive to use and that largely eliminates incorrect operating options that impair safety. To achieve this object, it is proposed according to the invention that the driving bolt is only moved from the driving position into the release position from the main lock when the latch is actuated by means of the locking element.

In the closing device according to the invention, the processes when opening the door by means of a closing element from the outside are unchanged compared to the processes in a door with a closing device without a leaf catching device or door catching device. A key as a locking element only needs to be turned in the opening direction of rotation until, if necessary after the extended bolt has been pulled in, the latch is actuated so that the door can be opened. The process is completely independent of whether the driving pin is arranged in the driving position or in the release division. If the driving bolt is in the driving position but the door is not locked, i.e. the bolt is not extended, the driving bolt will move from the main lock to the release position when the latch is actuated by means of the locking element transferred, wherein a locking element in the form of a key, as stated, is rotated in the usual direction of opening. The partial or complete passage of a locking cycle for transferring the driving bolt into the release line is under no circumstances necessary in the locking device according to the invention.

The above-described options for incorrect operation when opening a door from the inside are also essentially switched off. Under the above-mentioned circumstances, a person who wants to open a door by limiting the maximum possible gap opening position by the door catching or wing catching device and who after transferring the driving bolt into the driving position by corresponding actuation of the door catching device would determine that the door is still locked, unlock the door by means of the closing element, without bringing the entraining bolt back into the release division. If the person now opens the door by actuating the latch by means of the door handle or the like, the driving pin is still in the driving position despite the unlocking of the door beforehand and the door catch device can fulfill its safety function, that is to say limit the opening angle of the leaf in order to to prevent outside access to the apartment without the consent of the person in the apartment.

In the case of the locking device according to the invention, the second possibility of incorrect operation mentioned above, that is to say the main lock being blocked by the wing catch device, can also be readily determined by appropriate design of the main lock, the wing catch device or the manner in which the main lock and the wing catch device are coupled ¬ are switched, as can be seen in detail from the following explanations.

The coupling of the main lock and the wing catch device can be made via a connection connecting the latch actuating device and the driving pin actuating device. element manufactured. On the main lock side, the connecting element can be connected to a partial device of the latch actuating device which may be actuated by the locking element via the bolt actuating device. In the case of electrically actuated actuating devices in particular, an electrical connection by means of a signal line or the like can be considered.

Compared to an electrical coupling, a mechanical coupling of the main lock and the door catch device is preferred. The connecting element can then be a tension element, possibly a tension wire or a pressure element, preferably a drive rod. Such a construction of the locking device ensures high functional reliability.

To transfer the driving bolt from the driving position into the release position from the main lock, the connecting element can be actuated by a latch lever, also known as a latch, which is used to retract the latch. The connecting element is preferably subjected to a tensile force in order to transfer the driving bolt from the driving position into the release division. It is particularly expedient if the tractive force is transmitted from the latch lever to the connecting element when the latch lever is pivoted to retract the latch. The transmission of the tensile force from the latch lever to the connecting element is preferably carried out by means of a rotatably mounted transfer lever, from which a lever arm can preferably be brought into engagement with an end section of the latch lever near the latch. Compared to a locking system without a wing catch device, the main lock only needs to be slightly modified for the coupling according to the invention with the wing catch device, and an additional, rotatably mounted part within the main lock is sufficient for power transmission between the possibly extended latch lever and the connecting element. The manufacturing effort and accordingly the manufacturing costs thus increase only insignificantly. The locking device can be designed in such a way that the driving bolt can be transferred from the main lock from the release division into the driving position, for example by corresponding actuation of the driving bolt actuating device via the connecting element. Irrespective of this, the driving pin actuating device can have a manual partial device for manually moving the driving pin between the driving position and the release division, in particular by means of a rotary knob or the like. In this way, the wing catching device can be operated particularly easily, in particular from the inside of the door.

In order to implement the coupling according to the invention between the wing catching device and the main lock via the connecting element, the driving pin actuating device preferably has a further partial device which can be triggered by the connecting element or the manual partial device for transferring the driving pin arranged in the driving position into the release division through the further sub-device. There are particular advantages if the further sub-device has a force accumulator which is loaded from the release position into the drive position when the drive pin is transferred and which prestresses the drive pin in the direction of the release position. The energy accumulator can be formed by spring means, in particular at least one tension spring. The energy storage means that only an extremely low force has to be applied in the main lock to transfer the driving bolt arranged in the driving position into the release position (in particular, only an extremely low force has to be transmitted from the latch lever to the connecting element) for triggering the further part of the device. The force required to actuate the latch by the closing element is therefore increased only insignificantly. As a further advantage, gear means for coordinating the movement of the driving pin and the latch such that the driving pin has reached the release division when the latch is retracted can be dispensed with. According to the training described, the driving pin must be kept in the driving position after the driving pin has been transferred into the driving position until the further sub-device has been triggered. For this purpose, the further sub-device can have corresponding latching means for holding the driving bolt in the driving position.

There are many ways in which the wing catching device can be constructed internally. According to a preferred variant, the driving pin is fixed on a slidably mounted slide element on which the energy accumulator acts. Furthermore, the locking means for holding the driving bolt in the driving position can have a locking recess on the slide element and a movable locking element, the locking element having a locking engagement section and the locking element can be brought into a locking engagement position in the driving position arranged in the locking engagement position, in which the locking engagement section is engaged with the recess. To trigger the further partial device, it is then sufficient that the latching element is moved in such a way that the latching engagement section disengages from the latching recess.

Various configurations are also conceivable with regard to the design of the latching element itself. The locking element can thus be designed as a displacement element, the locking element preferably being displaceable in a displacement direction which is essentially perpendicular to the displacement direction of the slide element. Spring means can also be provided, in particular at least one compression spring, which pretension the latching element in the direction of the latching engagement position.

No great effort is required to couple the wing catching device and the main lock via the connecting element. The connecting element can thus act directly on the latching element in order to trigger the further sub-device. As already mentioned, the manual sub-device is preferably actuated by means of a rotary knob or the like. In this case, the manual sub-device can have a knob nut or the like assigned to the rotary knob or the like, which engages with a first driver section directly on the latching element to trigger the further sub-device. The knob nut or the like preferably has a second driving section, in particular a driving arm, which engages the slide element, optionally engages in a driving recess of the sliding element for transferring the driving bolt from the release division into the driving position. The knob nut or the like can be rotatable for transferring the driving bolt from the release position into the driving position from a first rotational position assigned to the release division into a second rotational position assigned to the driving position, the knob nut with the locking element in when the driving bolt is arranged in the driving position Engagement and is held by the locking element in the second rotational position until the further partial device is triggered. After the further sub-device has been triggered, the knob nut is then rotated back into the first rotational position by the slide element moved back into the release position by the force of the energy store for transferring the driving bolt. With the latter design, when the knob or the like is rotatably coupled to the knob nut or the like, it can be seen directly from the position of the knob whether the driving bolt is arranged in the driving position or in the release direction.

In principle, there are many options with regard to the construction and design of the gap opening limiter. For example, the gap opening limiter could be embodied as an elongated rod element, which is displaceable in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame and has an end remote from the wing and strikes a fitting part fixed to the frame. It may also be possible to design the gap opening limiter using a chain. The training is preferred fertilizer of the gap opening limiter as a swivel bracket, the swivel bracket being pivotally articulated at one end on the fixed frame or a fitting part on the fixed frame side and having a link extending essentially in the longitudinal direction of the swivel bracket as the engagement section. The swivel bracket can expediently be swiveled about a swivel axis that is essentially parallel to the fixed frame plane.

A high level of functional reliability of the wing catch device designed with a swivel bracket as a gap opening limiter is achieved if the link has a first link section with a first link width and a second link section with a second link width larger than the first link width, the second link section at one end of the pivot bracket is closer than the first link section if, furthermore, the driving pin has a pin head with a transverse dimension smaller than the second link width and larger than the first link width and if the driving pin has a driving section adjacent to the pin head with a transverse dimension smaller than the first link ¬ width when the bolt head also passes through the second link section when the wing is closed when the driving pin is transferred from the release position into the driving position and when the driving pin after the bolt head has passed through the second link section and, after reaching the driving position, the driver section engages with the driving section, the driving section entering the first link section when the wing is opened while the pivot bracket is pivoted from the second link section and after reaching the maximum possible gap opening position of the wing strikes at a link end remote from one end of the swivel bracket.

In particular for the additional securing of a closed door from the inside without the need to lock the door, it is proposed according to another aspect of the invention to design the wing catching device in such a way that a Locking the door is possible. In this context, it is preferred that the driving bolt can be brought from the release position beyond the driving position into a blocking position in the closed leaf, in which it locks the leaf on the frame in the leaf closed position, in particular by intervening in the fitting part designed as a striking plate by through the second stage section.

Advantageously, the driving bolt should also be able to be transferred from the locking position into the release section from the main lock when the latch is actuated by means of the locking element. The locking means can hold the driving pin in the locking position after the driving pin has been moved into the locking position, in particular by means of the manual device part, until the further partial device is triggered, the locking means in particular comprising a further locking recess on the slide element, which in the locking position arranged driving pin in the locking engagement position of the locking element with the locking engagement portion of the locking element is engaged.

The locking device can have at least one additional lock, which is separate from the main lock and is coupled to it, with an additional bolt which can be actuated from the main lock with the aid of an additional bolt actuating device of the additional lock. The additional bolt is expediently actuated by the closing element when the bolt is actuated.

The coupling of the main lock and the additional lock can be established via a connecting element connecting the bolt actuating device and the additional latch actuating device. In the case of a mechanical coupling of the main lock and the additional lock, a separate additional connecting element, in particular in the form of a drive rod, is provided for this purpose, in addition to the connecting element for coupling the main lock and the door catch device. The connecting element and the further connecting element are preferably arranged one above the other or next to one another in a sash groove or the like, movable relative to one another, the further connecting element preferably being arranged above the connecting element and, if appropriate, the further connecting element being covered to the outside by a cover rail or the like.

In another aspect, the invention relates to a door or the like with a locking device as described above.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments shown in the figures.

The locking device 100 shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 has an espagnolette lock 102 as the main lock and a wing catch device 104 on a wing 108, as well as a locking plate (not shown) associated with the espagnolette lock or main lock 102 and a gap opening limiter 106 on the fixed frame 110 In the example shown, the wing 108 is a door wing, and it is therefore appropriate to address the wing catch device 104 also as a door catch device 104. The door catch device 104 is coupled to the main lock via a drive rod 112. A further drive rod 116 is also provided for coupling the main lock with other components of the locking device, in particular with at least one additional lock (not shown).

Before the door catch device 104 and its interaction with the main lock 102 or the gap opening limiter 106 are discussed in more detail, the mode of operation of the main lock or espagnolette lock 102 will be briefly discussed in advance. The main lock is only incompletely drawn in FIG. 1 for reasons of clarity, and reference is therefore made to FIG. 2, which has a connecting rod lock that is essentially of the same structure but, in the present context, unimportant details differ from the main lock of FIG shows.

The espagnolette lock of FIG. 2 has a profile cylinder 1, the lock bit hub (not shown) of which is surrounded by a ring gear 10 which has a slot 2 for coupling with the lock beard, the lock bit in the region of two drive gear wheels 12, 12 ' does not reach the root diameter of the ring gear 10. The ring gear 10 is guided with a flange outer circumference in a bearing 14 fixed to the housing and meshes with the two drive gears 12, 12 '. The espagnolette lock has a drive rod 16 and a bolt 18, the locking and unlocking of which is effected by two rotations of the lock cylinder 1. At the end of a reduction gear A, which of the gears 10, 12; 12 ', 13 and 15 is formed, a drive rod drive pinion 20 is mounted with a control element 22 fixedly arranged on the face of the lock cover. The control element 22 is formed at both ends with approximately circularly shaped control cams 24, 24 'which, when actuated by the locking cylinder, engage in succession in corresponding recesses 26, 26' of the drive rod 16 and displace them.

On the axis 34 of the gear 12 arranged near the drive rod 16, a conversion lever 35 is pivotally mounted coaxially thereto, which partially engages over a bolt tail 36. It comprises a pin 40 with a fork-like arm 38. A second arm 50 of the transfer lever 35 protrudes into a drive rod recess 42 of the drive rod 16 which is delimited by cams 46, 46 'provided with rectangular control surfaces 44, 44'.

When the drive rod 16 and the bolt 18 are excluded, the lower control surface 44 of the upper cam 46 comes to bear on the second arm 50 of the transfer lever 35 and pivots it counterclockwise. The bolt is excluded (extended) by the pin-Schiitzverbindung 38, 40. After double closing rotation of the profile cylinder 1, the bolt 18 is fully extended, and the arm 50 is then supported on the end face 52 of the upper cam 46. At the same time, a pin 54 fixed to the connecting rod is pushed behind a shoulder 56 of the latch 18.

The drive rod 16 serves, as already mentioned above in relation to the locking device of FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, for coupling the main lock, for example with at least one additional lock of the locking device, not shown in the figures, wherein the additional lock has an additional bolt which can be actuated by means of the drive rod 16 in synchronism with the bolt 18 for engagement in a striker plate on the fixed frame side.

Further components, in particular for actuating the drive rod 16 or the bolt 18, are: a stop cam 28 and curved limiting fingers 30, 30 'directed into the lock interior. The axis of rotation of the drive rod drive pinion 20 is designated by 32 in FIG. The lock faceplate, in particular in the form of a cover rail, is designated by 3.

The main lock has a latch 78 which can be actuated from a lever 80 of a door lever and from the lock cylinder 1. A trap tail 58 of the trap 78 is fastened in a housing 64 which can be displaced between the lock base 60 and the lock cover 62, the housing 64 having two opposite longitudinal slots 66, 66 'for guiding on its broad sides, into each of which on the lock base 60 and engage short guide pins 68, 68 'arranged on the lock ceiling 62. The rear wall of the housing 64 is designated 70 and connected to the trap tail 58.

To pull in the latch 78 through the door handle, the pusher nut 80 is pivoted clockwise by approximately 45 °, a driver 82 integrally formed on the pusher nut 80 engaging behind a shoulder 84 of the housing 64. The follower 80 is biased in the direction of the extended latch 78 by a compression spring 88 inserted in a spring housing 86, the displaceable spring housing 86 engaging with a plunger 90 in a recess 92 in the follower 80. In the normal position, the follower nut 80 is supported on a pin 94 connecting the lock base 60 and the lock cover 62.

For the latch actuation by means of the lock cylinder 1, a latch lever 96 is pivotally arranged on the lock bottom 60 coaxially with the connecting rod drive pinion 20 and rests with its free end 98 on the housing 64. The gear connection to The latch lever 96 comprises a driver 21 arranged on the end face of the drive rod pinion 20 on the lock bottom side, which comes into contact with a latch 97 of the latch lever 96 when the bolt 18 is closed and the lock cylinder is rotated further clockwise and the latch lever 96 (also often as Change designated) pivoted clockwise to retract the latch 78.

With regard to further details of the construction and the mode of operation of the espagnolette lock in FIG. 2, reference is made to DE 39 01 223 C2, FIG. 1 of which is based on the present FIG. 2. A possible embodiment of the additional lock or the additional bolt can also be found in this German patent.

Compared to the connecting rod lock known from DE 39 01 223 C2, the connecting rod lock of the present FIG. 2 is modified in such a way that the latch lever 96 is extended at its free end beyond the housing 64 to form an actuating end section 98a for actuating an additional connecting rod 112 'via a transfer lever 114' (the additional drive rod 112 'and the transfer lever 114' are therefore additionally provided compared to the drive rod lock known from DE 39 01 223 C2). The additional drive rod 112 'serves to couple the main lock to a corresponding wing catch device or door catch device (as explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4); this additional drive rod 112 'is to be referred to in the following for easier distinction as driving pin drive rod 112' (or 112 with respect to the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1, 3 and 4), while the drive rod serving to couple the additional lock and the main lock 16 is to be referred to as additional bolt drive rod 16 (or 116 with respect to the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4). With reference to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the wing catch device 104 has a driving pin 120 which is displaceably mounted on a slide element 122 in a housing 124 of the door catching device 104, the driving pin 120 being in the first sliding position of the slide element on the cuff side protrudes from the housing 124 and protrudes from the sash on the faceplate (this is referred to as the driving position of the driving bolt) and is drawn into the housing 124 in a second displacement position of the slide element 122 (this is referred to as the release position of the driving bolt 120).

The additional bolt driving rod 116 is guided past the housing 124 on the cuff side and has an elongated hole 126 so that the driving bolt 120 can be extended from the housing 124 in any position of the additional bolt driving rod 116, that is to say it can be arranged in the driving position. To the outside, the additional bolt drive rod 116 is covered by a cover rail 128, which is also guided past the housing 124 and has a hole 130 for the passage of the driving bolt 120.

The slide element 122 can be transferred from the shift position shown in FIG. 1b, which corresponds to the release position of the driving pin 120, by means of a rotary knob (not shown) into the shift position shown in FIG. 1 a and FIG. 4, corresponding to the driving position of the driving pin 120. For this purpose, the rotary knob is rotatably connected to a knob nut 132, which is rotatably mounted in the housing 124. The knob nut has a driving arm 134 which is in engagement with a driving recess 136 of the slide element 122. Furthermore, the knob nut 132 has a driver section 138 which interacts with a latching element 140 which is displaceably mounted in the housing 124 and which is orthogonal to the direction of displacement of the slide element 122. The door catch device 104 also has two tension springs 142 and a compression spring 144. The tension springs act between the housing 124 and the slide element 122 and act on the slide element 122 with a tensile force parallel to the displacement direction of the slide element 122 in the direction of the housing wall 124a opposite the cover rail 128, ie in the direction from the displacement position corresponding to the driving position of the driving bolt of the slide element 122 to the shift position of the slide element 122 corresponding to the release division of the driving pin 120.

The compression spring 144 acts between the housing 124 and the locking element 140 and loads the locking element 140 with a compressive force parallel to the direction of displacement of the locking element 140 from a lower housing wall 124b in the direction of the slide element 122. The locking element 140 has a locking finger 146 as a locking engagement section, the upper end portion of which, when the driving pin is arranged in the driving position, is pressed by the compression spring 144 into engagement with a latching recess 148 on the slide element 122 in order to hold the slide element 122 in the displacement position corresponding to the driving position of the driving pin 120 against the tensile force exerted by the tension springs 142 on the slide element 122.

The operation of the door catch device with regard to manual actuation of the driving pin by means of the rotary knob is as follows. Starting from the position shown in FIG. 1b, when the knob nut 132 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the rotary knob of the driving arm 134 which engages with the driving recess 136, the carriage element 122 pushes forward against the tensile force of the tension springs 142, thus in the direction of the cover rail 128, the driver section 138 pressing the latching element 140 downward against the pressure force of the compression spring 144, so that the end section of the latching finger 146 is moved away from the slide element 122 in order to free movement of the slide element 122 enable. After turning the knob nut The shift position of the slide element 122 corresponding to the driving position of the driving bolt 120 is reached by 90 °, and the driving section of the knob nut 132 releases the locking element 140 to such an extent that the end portion of the locking finger 146 enters the locking recess 148 due to the compressive force of the spring 144 and holds the slide element 122 in the position reached, and thus the driving pin 120 in the driving position. As a result of the catch section 138 striking against a stop 150 on one side and being engaged on the other side with the latching element 140, the knob nut 132 is in the rotational position reached against further turning counterclockwise and against unintentional turning back Clockwise direction secured with the carriage member 122 held.

If the driving pin 120 is to be transferred back into the release position by actuating the rotary knob, the rotary knob and thus the knob nut 132 must be turned back in a clockwise direction, with an initial resistance due to the engagement of the driver section 138 and the locking element 140 must be overcome when turning the rotary knob. By turning the knob nut 132, the latching element 140 is pressed downward against the pressure force of the compression spring 144, the end section of the latching finger 146 being brought out of engagement with the latching recess 148 of the slide element 122. As soon as the locking finger 146 and the locking recess 148 are disengaged, the rotary knob does not need to be turned further clockwise, since the tension springs 142 now pull the slide element back into the starting position, and thus the driving pin 120 into the release position. Here, the knob nut 132 is rotated back into the original rotational position by the driver recess 136 and the driver arm 134, the clockwise rotation being limited by a stop 152, against which the driver section 138 strikes.

The gap opening limiter 106 is designed as a swivel bracket, which is attached to a fixed frame by means of a hinge pin 160 Fitting part 162 is pivotally articulated with a pivot axis which is essentially parallel to the sliding direction of the slide element 122 when the wing is closed. In other words, the pivot axis of the swivel bracket 106 extending in a horizontal plane is parallel to the fixed frame plane or parallel to the wing plane when the wing is closed. The fitting part 162 is screwed by screws 164 in a recess 166 of the fixed frame 110 adapted to the shape of the fitting part 162 on the fixed frame 110, the recess 166 being open on the side closer to the door leaf 108 when the door is open, so that the pivot lever 106 3, can pivot out of a vertical position shown in dashed lines in FIG. Without external action, the swivel bracket 106 is arranged in its vertical position due to gravity.

The swivel bracket 106 has a link 168 (also known as a hole or opening) with a first link section 168a and a second link section 168b. The link section 168a extends with a constant width parallel to a longitudinal axis of the swivel bracket and takes up most of the link 168. The essentially circular link section 168b adjoins the first link section 168a, the diameter of this second link section 168b noticeably exceeding the width of the first link section 168a, so that the keyhole-like link form shown in FIG. 3 results. Matched to the link 168, the driving pin 120 has, at its end protruding from the housing 124 in the driving position, a bolt head 170, on which, in the direction of the end of the driving pin 120 on the inside of the housing, a section of the driving pin, hereinafter referred to as driving section 172 120 connects. The diameter of the bolt head 170 exceeds the diameter of the driving section 172 and the width of the first link section 168a, but is smaller than the diameter of the second link section 168b. The diameter of the driving section 172 is smaller than the width of the first link section 168a.

If the driving pin 120 is now moved into the driving position with the wing closed, the bolt head 170 passes through the second link section 168b, so that the driving section 172, as can be seen in FIG. 4, engages in the link 168 in such a way that the Bolt head 170 is arranged on the side of the swivel bracket 106 near the fixed frame and at least a short section of the driver section 172 on both sides of the swivel bracket 106. When the door leaf 108 is opened, the driving section 172 abuts against the link edge 174 delimiting the link 168 and pivots the pivot bracket 106 when the door leaf 108 is opened further from the vertical position, the driving pin 120 with its driving section 172 on the link edge 174 slides off and enters the first link section 168a from the second link section 168b. The door leaf 108 can be opened until the driving section 172 strikes the link end 176 or the corresponding section of the link edge 174 which is distant from the pivot pin 160. The swivel bracket 106 thus limits the opening angle of the door leaf to a maximum possible gap opening angle. During the pivoting out of the swivel bracket 106, the bolt head 170 engages behind the link edge 174 in the first link section 168a, so that the driving pin 120 is reliably held in engagement with the link 168 and cannot emerge from the link.

When the gap-opened wing closes, the driving pin 120 moves in relation to the link 168 again in the direction of the second link section 168b, the pivot lever 106 pivoting back synchronously in the direction of its vertical position. With the wing closed position, the driving pin 120 reaches the second link section and the swivel bracket 106 reaches its vertical position. Now the driving pin 120 can be returned to the release division by appropriate actuation of the rotary knob are transferred, for example for normal opening of the door.

The driving bolt 122 can also be returned from the driving position to the release division from the main lock. This mode of actuation of the door catch device 104 is particularly important in order to be able to open a door from the outside at all times, that is to say independently of the current position of the driving bolt. According to the invention, the driving pin 120 is transferred from the main lock 102 only when the latch 178 is actuated by means of the locking element, here a key, from the driving position into the release division. The coupling of the main lock 102 and the door catch device 104 takes place via the already mentioned driving pin driving rod 112. At its end on the door catching device side, the driving pin driving rod 112 engages on the locking element 140 in such a way that a tension and pressure-resistant connection between the locking element 140 and the driving pin driving rod 112 is made. For this purpose, a lateral tongue section 180 of the locking element 140 engages in a lateral fork section 182 on the driving pin driving rod 112.

The main lock-side end of the driving pin driving rod 112 is in constant engagement via a lateral fork section 184 of the driving rod 112 with a first arm of two arms of the transfer lever 114 rotatably arranged in the main lock, which transfer lever 114 corresponds to the transfer lever 114 'of the main lock in FIG. The driving pin driving rod 112 and the transfer lever 114 are motionally coupled such that each rotational position of the transfer lever 114 corresponds to a shift position of the driving pin driving rod. In the same way, the locking element 140 and the driving pin driving rod 112 are coupled in motion (each displacement position of the locking element 140 corresponds to a sliding position of the driving pin driving rod 112), so that there is a movement coupling of the transfer lever 114 and the locking element 140 (each locking - 24 -

The sliding position of the latching element 140 corresponds to a rotational position of the transfer lever 114).

If the driving pin 120 assumes its driving position (cf. FIG. 4 and FIG. 1 a), the second arm of the transfer lever 114 is arranged in such a way that it extends into the pivoting range of the end section 168 a of the latch lever 196. If, as explained above with reference to the espagnolette lock in FIG. 2, the latch lever 196 is actuated by means of the key to retract the latch 178, the latch lever 196 pivoting clockwise in the illustration in FIG. 1 rotates the reversing lever 114 counterclockwise , so that the driving pin driving rod 112, and thus the latching element 140, move downward and the latching finger 146 emerges from the latching recess 184. The latching element 140 thus no longer holds the slide element 122 so that the tension springs 142 pull the driving pin 120 over the slide element 122 into the release area, the knob nut 132 moving back from the rotary position shown in FIG Ib rotated position shown is rotated as described above.

As can be seen in FIG. 1b in comparison with FIG. 1 a, the compression spring 144 cannot move the catch element 140 with the catch bolt 120 arranged in the release division as far as with the catch bolt 120 arranged in the catch position. Compared to the shift position of the catch element 140 in FIG. 1a with the driving bolt arranged in the driving position, the catch element 140 is displaced downward by the driving section 138 of the knob nut 132 according to FIG. 1b when the driving bolt 120 is arranged in the release position. Accordingly, the transfer lever 114 is rotated counterclockwise with respect to the rotational position of FIG. 1 a (FIG. 1 b) when the driving pin 120 is arranged in the release division. In this rotational position of the transfer lever 114, the second arm of the transfer lever 114 no longer engages in the pivoting range of the end section 198a of the latch lever 198, so that the latch lever can pivot freely to and fro Retract trap 178 and retract trap 178.

From the description of the main lock of FIG. 2 it follows that the movements of the driving pin driving rod 112 and the additional pin driving rod 116 are independent of one another. The additional bolt drive rod 116 is displaced in one or in the other direction synchronously with the actuation of the bolt, not shown in FIG. 1, whereas the driving bolt driving rod 112, and thus the latching element 140, maintains the respective sliding position when the bolt is actuated and accordingly ¬ speaking, the driving pin 120 remains in its respective position. The driving pin driving rod 112 is only displaced if, when the driving pin 120 is arranged in the driving position, the latch lever 196 pivots the latch 178 in the pulling direction by pulling the main lock 102 with the key for pulling in the latch 178 and thereby via the Transfer lever 114 on the driving pin driving rod 112 pulls. The detent finger 146 then disengages from the detent recess 148 on the slide element 122, and when the entrainment element 120 is transferred into the release division, the entrainment pin driving rod 112 is displaced further in accordance with the displacement movement of the detent element 140 under the action of the moving element Slide element 122 and the rotating knob nut 132.

A second exemplary embodiment of a locking device according to the invention will now be explained with reference to FIG. 5, with only differences with respect to the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 with regard to the design of the door catch device and the fixed part on the frame side which supports the swivel bracket. Components of the second embodiment which correspond in function to those of the first embodiment according to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 are given the same reference numerals, but are each provided with the number 100. In the following, only the differences between the two embodiments will be discussed and the rest expressly refer to the foregoing description of the first embodiment.

In the door catch device 204 of FIG. 5, the driving bolt 220 can be moved further out of the housing 224 into a locking position via the driving position shown in FIG. 5a, in which the bolt head 270 engages in a locking recess 290 in the fixed part 262 when the wing is closed and locked the wing on the fixed frame (see FIG. 5b). The recess 290 is essentially aligned with the second link section 268b when the swivel bracket 206 is arranged in the vertical position. The bolt head 270 is of circular cylindrical design, in contrast to the bolt head 170 of the first exemplary embodiment, which tapers towards the end.

Compared to the slide element 122 of the first exemplary embodiment, the displacement element 220 is shorter in the direction of displacement in order to achieve the required larger displacement stroke and has a second latching recess 249 which can be brought into engagement with the free end of the latching finger 246 of the latching element 240 to hold the carriage element 222 in the shift position corresponding to the locked position of the driving pin 220. The two locking recesses 248 and 249 on the slide element 222 and the free end of the locking finger 246 are made narrower than the locking recess 149 and the free end of the locking finger 146 of the first embodiment in the direction of displacement of the slide element.

The transfer of the driving pin 220 from the release part into the driving position shown in FIG. 5a takes place as described above in the first embodiment. The driving pin 220 is further extended from the housing 224 into the locking position, likewise by turning the knob nut 232 counterclockwise via the rotary position shown in FIG. 5a. The driver arm 243 of the knob nut 232 is extended compared to the driver arm 134 of the first embodiment so that it slides the carriage 222 over that shown in FIG. 5a Position in the direction of the forend-side housing end. In order to make this additional rotation of the knob nut 232 possible, the stop 250 is offset upwards relative to the stop 150 of the first exemplary embodiment.

As long as the carriage element 222 is held in the position corresponding to the driving position of the locking pin 220 by the locking element 240 (by engagement of the free end of the locking finger 246 in the first locking recess 249), the driving pin 220 cannot be moved into the locking position. To release the slide element 222, the locking element 240 has a push handle 292 protruding from the housing 224 through a corresponding elongated hole, by means of which the locking element 240 can be pushed downwards to release the slide element 222, around the driving pin 220 from the driving position into the To bring the locking position or directly from the release division into the locking position by turning the knob accordingly.

If the driving pin 220 is to be transferred from the locked position back into the release division, this is done from the door catch device by actuating the rotary knob as described above, that is to say by turning the rotary knob clockwise as shown in FIG. 5, or alternatively by Corresponding actuation of the push handle 292, that is to say by direct displacement of the locking element 240 downward, so that the engagement between the free end of the locking finger 246 and the second locking recess 249 is canceled. In the same way, the locking element 240 can also be actuated directly to transfer the driving pin 220 from the driving position into the release order by means of the push handle 292.

The transfer of the driving pin 220 from the locked position or from the driving position into the release division takes place from the main lock as described above. When the latch is actuated by the key, the driving pin driving rod becomes 216, and thus the locking element 240, moved so far via the latch lever and the transfer lever that, in the case of a driving bolt 220 arranged in the locked position, the driving bolt 220 reliably reaches the release division by the action of the springs 242, without the free end of the Locking fingers 246 can enter the first locking recess 248, so that the driving pin does not remain in the driving position. If, for example, the door is opened from the outside by means of the key, the door can always be opened immediately after the key has been turned to retract the latch, regardless of whether the driving bolt is previously in the release release, in the driving position or in the locked position was ordered.

In summary, the invention relates to a locking device for a door or the like. With a fixed frame and a key, comprising a main lock and a wing catching device on the wing, wherein a driving pin of the wing catching device can be brought into engagement with a gap opening limiter provided on the fixed frame. The main lock and the wing catch device are coupled to one another in such a way that the driving bolt can only be brought out of engagement with the gap opening limiter from the main lock when the latch of the main lock is actuated by means of a closing element.
