Abstract

This invention concerns a securing device for the lid of a vehicle seat arm rest (10). The arm rest (10) can be pivoted between a horizontally seated position and an upwardly tilted position. The arm rest (10) has a tub-shaped base (12) with a storage compartment (18) and a lid (14) which can pivot about a rotation axis to close the storage compartment (18). To retain the lid (14) in the closed position, a locking fitting (16) is provided which can be set between an engaged and a free position. Undesired opening of the lid (14) while the arm rest (10) is in the upwardly tilted position is prevented by the presence of a pendulum weight (36) in the locking fitting (16) which can pivot about a pendulum axis (38). This has the effect of allowing release of the locking fitting (16) in the horizontally seated position of the arm rest (10) and preventing release in the upwardly tilted position of the arm rest (10).

Das ist in jedem Falle unerwünscht.Locking device in the folded-up position of the armrest of the lid opened, so that utensils located in the tub-like base part fall out of the storage space provided for these utensils. This is undesirable in any case.
Aus diesem Grunde wird bspw. in der DE 41 00 484 AI eine Armlehne für einen Kraftfahrzeugsitz beschrieben, die zwischen einer etwa waagrechten und einer hochragenden Stellung um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist und die ein Aufnahmefach zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen sowie einen hochklappbaren Deckel aufweist, der das Aufnahmefach oben abdeckt und die Armlehnenoberseite bildet. Es ist eine den Deckel in seiner Schließstellung verriegelnde, mittels eines betätigbaren Auslösegliedes entriegelbare Verriegelungseinrichtung mit einer Sperrvorrichtung vorgesehen, mittels der eine der Entriegelung dienende Betätigung des Auslösegliedes beim Hochschwenken der Armlehne über einen vorgegebenen Schwenkwinkel hinaus selbsttätig sperrbar und beim Zurückschwenken unter den vorgegebenen Schwenkwinkel selbsttätig freigebbar ist. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß der Deckel in Schräglage der Armlehne geöffnet wird und im Aufnahmefach enthaltene Gegenstände herausfallen können. Bei dieser bekanntenFor this reason, an armrest for a motor vehicle seat is described, for example, in DE 41 00 484 AI, which can be pivoted between an approximately horizontal and an upstanding position about a pivot axis and which has a storage compartment for accommodating objects as well as a flip-up lid which does that Cover the storage compartment at the top and form the top of the armrest. It is a means of locking the lid in its closed position an actuatable release member unlockable locking device is provided with a locking device, by means of which an unlocking actuation of the release member when swiveling the armrest beyond a predetermined swivel angle can be automatically locked and released when swiveling back under the predetermined swivel angle. This prevents the lid from being opened in the inclined position of the armrest and objects contained in the storage compartment from falling out. In this known
Armlehne weist die Verriegelungseinrichtung einen Riegel am Deckel und ein den Riegel sperrendes oder freigebendes Riegelglied auf, das bei Betätigung des Auslösegliedes zwischen der Sperrstellung und der Freigabestellung bewegbar ist. Die Sperrvorrichtung kann hierbei einen aufgrund seiner Gewichtskraft freibeweglichen Sperrkörper aufweisen, der zwischen einer die Betätigung des Auslösegliedes sperrenden und einer freigebenden Stellung in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung der Armlehne beweglich ist. Der Sperrkörper ist vorzugsweise von einem Rollkörper, insbes . von einer Kugel, gebildet. Infolge seiner freien Beweglichkeit kann eine Verklemmung des Sperrkörpers nicht zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden.Armrest, the locking device has a bolt on the lid and a locking or releasing bolt member that is movable between the locked position and the release position when the trigger member is actuated. The locking device can have a freely movable locking body due to its weight, which can be moved between a position that blocks the actuation of the release member and a releasing position depending on the position of the armrest. The locking body is preferably of a rolling body, in particular. formed by a ball. As a result of its free mobility, jamming of the locking body cannot be reliably ruled out.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Deckelsicherung für eine Armlehne eines Fahrzeugsitzes der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher mit einfachen Mitteln zuverlässig eine Betätigung derIndividual parts available that must work together appropriately.

Kennzeichenteiles des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausbzw. Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Deckelsicherung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Characteristic part of claim 1 solved. Preferred training Developments of the cover lock according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Armlehne bzw. ihrerThe inventive design of the armrest or its
Deckelsicherung mit einem Pendelgewicht weist den Vorteil auf, daß eine konstruktiv einfache Lösung gegeben ist, die jederzeit zuverlässig funktioniert, d.h. auch nach einer langen Anwendungsdauer wie im Originalzustand funktionstüchtig ist.Lid locking with a pendulum weight has the advantage that there is a structurally simple solution that works reliably at all times, i.e. is functional even after a long period of use as in the original condition.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Deckels der Armlehne mit einem Pendelgewicht-Freigaberaum und mit einer daran anschließenden Blockierfläche ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß der Pendelgewicht-Freigaberaum in der horizontalen Auflageposition der Armlehne wirksam ist, so daß das Pendelgewicht und somit die Verschlußarmatur beweglich, d.h. zu ihrer Freigabe betätigbar ist. In der hochgeklappten Stellung der Armlehne ist das Pendelgewicht um seine Pendelachse entsprechend verschwenkt, wobei das lotrecht orientiert verbleibende Pendelgewicht in dieser hochgeklappten Stellung dann der Blockierfläche derartig zugeordnet ist, daß das Pendelgewicht zwischen der Verschlußarmatur und dem Deckel gleichsam verspreizt ist, so daß die Verschlußarmatur in der hochgeklappten Stellung der Armlehne nicht betätigbar ist.Due to the inventive design of the armrest cover with a pendulum weight release space and with a subsequent blocking surface, there is the advantage that the pendulum weight release space is effective in the horizontal support position of the armrest, so that the pendulum weight and thus the locking device is movable, ie their release can be actuated. In the folded-up position of the armrest, the pendulum weight is pivoted accordingly about its pendulum axis, the pendulum weight remaining vertically oriented in this folded-up position then being assigned to the blocking surface in such a way that the pendulum weight is spread as it were between the closure fitting and the lid, so that the closure fitting cannot be actuated in the folded-up position of the armrest.
Die oben erwähnte Blockierfläche ist zur Pendelachse vorzugsweise konzentrisch vorgesehen. Eine solcheThe blocking surface mentioned above is preferably provided concentrically with the pendulum axis. Such
Ausbildung weist den Vorteil auf, daß die Verschlußarmatur nicht nur in der hochgeklappten Endstellung der Armlehne sondern auch bereits entlang eines entsprechenden Winkelbereiches vor Erreichen der hochgeklappten Endstellung arretiert ist.Training has the advantage that the closure fitting is locked not only in the folded-up end position of the armrest but also along a corresponding angular range before reaching the folded-up end position.
Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn bei der erfindungsgemäßen Armlehne die Verschlußarmatur - in an sich bekannter Weise - mittels eines Federelementes die Verraststellung einnimmt. Dieses Federelement kann von einer Schraubendruckfeder gebildet sein.It is expedient if, in the armrest according to the invention, the closure fitting - in a manner known per se - assumes the locking position by means of a spring element. This spring element can be formed by a helical compression spring.

Fig. 1 zeigt längsgeschnitten abschnittweise eine Armlehne 10 für einen Fahrzeugsitz, bei welcher es sich bspw. um eine Mittelarmlehne eines Pkw-Fahrer- oder Beifahrersitzes handelt. Die Armlehne 10 weist ein wannenartiges Grundteil 12, einen Deckel 14 und eine Verschlußarmatur 16 auf. Durch das wannenartige Grundteil 12 ist ein Stauraum 18 für diverse Utensilien festgelegt. Diese Utensilien sind im Stauraum 18 üblicherweise lose angeordnet. Der Deckel 14 dient zum Verschließen des wannenartigen Grundteiles 12. Die Verschlußarmatur 16, die bspw. als Taste o.dgl. ausgebildet ist, dient zum Festhalten des Deckels 14 in seiner das Grundteil 12 verschließenden Verschlußstellung, wie sie in Fig.l verdeutlicht ist. Die Verschlußarmatur 16 ist zu diesem Zwecke am Deckel 14 um eine Schwenkachse 20 zwischen der in Fig.l gezeichneten Verschluß- bzw.1 shows a section of an armrest 10 for a vehicle seat, which is, for example, a center armrest of a car driver or front passenger seat. The armrest 10 has a trough-like base part 12, a lid 14 and a closure fitting 16. A storage space 18 for various utensils is defined by the tub-like base part 12. These utensils are usually loosely arranged in the storage space 18. The lid 14 serves to close the trough-like base part 12. The closure fitting 16, which, for example, acts as a button or the like. is designed to hold the cover 14 in its closed position closing the base part 12, as illustrated in Fig.l. The closure fitting 16 is for this purpose on the cover 14 about a pivot axis 20 between the closure or drawn in Fig.l
Verraststellung und einer Freigabestellung verstellbar. In der Verraststellung liegt die Verschlußarmatur 16 mit einem Rastorgan 22 an einem Gegenrastorgan 24 des wannenartigen Grundteiles 12 an. Damit die Verschlußarmatur 16 in ihrer normalen Ruhe- bzw. Betriebsstellung diese Verschluß- bzw. Verraststellung einnimmt, ist zwischen dem Deckel 14 und der Verschlußarmatur 16 ein Federelement 26 vorgesehen, bei dem es sich um eine Schraubendruckfeder handeln kann. Das Federelement 26 ist mit seinen beiden voneinander entfernten Endabschnitten an kragenförmigen Ansätzen 28 festgelegt .Locking position and a release position adjustable. In the locked position, the closure fitting 16 rests with a locking element 22 on a counter-locking element 24 of the trough-like base part 12. So that the closure fitting 16 assumes this closure or latching position in its normal rest or operating position, a spring element 26 is provided between the cover 14 and the closure fitting 16, which can be a helical compression spring. The spring element 26 is fixed with its two distal end sections to collar-shaped projections 28.
Zum Aufschwenken des Deckels 14 von der normalen Verschlußstellung des Deckels 14 in die Freigabestellung ist es erforderlich, die Verschlußarmatur 16 in Richtung des bogenförmigen Pfeiles 29 um die Schwenkachse 20 aufzuschwenken. Hierbei wird das Federelement 26 mechanisch gespannt. Wird die Verschlußarmatur 16 nach einer solchen Öffnungsbewegung wieder losgelassen, so entspannt sich das Federelement 26. Das bedeutet, daß die Verschlußarmatur 16 wieder um die Schwenkachse 20 in ihre Verraststellung zurückkehrt. Wird dann also der Deckel 14 zugeklappt, um das wannenartige Grundteil 12 zu verschließen, so gleitet zuerst eine Schrägfläche 30 der Verschlußarmatur 16 über eine abgerundete Randkante 32 des Grundteiles 12, um dann mit dem Rastorgan 22 am Gegenrastorgan 24 anzuliegen und den Deckel 14 auf dem wannenartigen Grundteil 12 festzulegen.For swiveling the lid 14 from the normal closed position of the lid 14 into the release position it is necessary to pivot the closure fitting 16 in the direction of the curved arrow 29 about the pivot axis 20. Here, the spring element 26 is mechanically tensioned. If the closure fitting 16 is released after such an opening movement, the spring element 26 relaxes. This means that the closure fitting 16 returns to its locked position about the pivot axis 20. If the lid 14 is then closed in order to close the trough-like base part 12, an inclined surface 30 of the closure fitting 16 first slides over a rounded edge 32 of the base part 12, in order then to rest with the locking element 22 on the counter-locking element 24 and the cover 14 on the define tub-like base part 12.
Fig. 2 zeigt in einer zur Schnittebene der Fig. 1 parallelen Schnittebene die Verschlußarmatur 16 und einen Abschnitt des Deckels 14. Von der Verschlußarmatur 16 stehen voneinander beabstandet zwei Lagerzapfen 34 nach oben, zwischen welchen ein Pendelgewicht 36 um eineFig. 2 shows in a sectional plane parallel to the section of Fig. 1, the closure fitting 16 and a portion of the lid 14. From the closure fitting 16 are spaced apart from each other two trunnions 34, between which a pendulum weight 36 by one
Pendelachse 38 schwenkbeweglich bzw. drehbar gelagert ist. In Fig. 2 sind die besagten Teile der Armlehne in der horizontalen Auflageposition - wie in Fig. 1 - gezeichnet, so daß das Pendelgewicht 36, dessen Schwerpunkt 40 von der Pendelachse 38 beabstandet ist, von der Pendelachse 38 nach unten hängt. Der Deckel 14 ist mit einem Pendelgewicht- Freigaberaum 42 und mit einer daran anschließenden Blockierfläche 44 ausgebildet. Die Blockierfläche 44 ist in bezug auf den Pendelgewicht-Freigaberaum 42 um ca. 90 Winkelgrad verdreht.Pendulum axis 38 is pivotally or rotatably mounted. In Fig. 2, said parts of the armrest in the horizontal support position - as in Fig. 1 - drawn so that the pendulum weight 36, the center of gravity 40 of which is spaced from the pendulum axis 38, depends from the pendulum axis 38 downward. The cover 14 is formed with a pendulum weight release space 42 and with an adjoining blocking surface 44. The blocking surface 44 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees with respect to the pendulum weight release space 42.
In der in Fig. 2 gezeichneten horizontalen Auflageposition der Armlehne 10 erlaubt der Pendelgewicht-Freigaberaum 42 des Deckels 14 eine Parallelverlagerung des Pendelgewichtes 36 beim Schwenken der Verschlußarmatur 16 um die Schwenkachse, so daß die Verschlußarmatur 16 in bezug auf den Deckel 14 in Richtung des bogenförmigen Pfeiles 29 betätigbar ist, um den Deckel 14 öffnen zu können.In the horizontal support position of the armrest 10 shown in FIG. 2, the pendulum weight release space 42 of the cover 14 permits a parallel displacement of the pendulum weight 36 when pivoting the closure fitting 16 about the pivot axis, so that the closure fitting 16 can be actuated with respect to the cover 14 in the direction of the curved arrow 29 in order to be able to open the cover 14.
Wird die Armlehne 10 von der in Fig. 1 bzw. in Fig. 2 gezeichneten horizontalen Auflageposition in die hochgeklappte Stellung aufgeschwenkt , was in Fig. 2 durch den bogenförmigen Pfeil 46 angedeutet ist, so verbleibt das Pendelgewicht 36 um die Pendelachse 38 schwenkend in der lotrechten Position, wobei die Richtung der Verlagerung des Pendelgewichtes 36 beim Schwenken der Verschlußarmatur 16 um die Schwenkachse 20 sich vom Pendelgewicht-Freigaberaum 42 des Deckels 14 zur Blockierfläche 44 bewegt. In der hochgeklappten Stellung der Armlehne 10 ist es also nicht möglich, die Verschlußarmatur 16 um ihre Schwenkachse 20 von ihrer Verraststellung in die Freigabestellung zu verstellen, weil das Pendelgewicht 36 zwischen der Verschlußarmatur 16 und der Blockierfläche des Deckels 14 eingeklemmt wird. If the armrest 10 is pivoted from the horizontal support position shown in FIG. 1 or in FIG. 2 into the folded-up position, which is indicated in FIG. 2 by the curved arrow 46, then the pendulum weight 36 remains pivoting about the pendulum axis 38 in the vertical position, the direction of the displacement of the pendulum weight 36 when pivoting the closure fitting 16 about the pivot axis 20 moves from the pendulum weight release space 42 of the cover 14 to the blocking surface 44. In the folded-up position of the armrest 10, it is therefore not possible to adjust the closure fitting 16 about its pivot axis 20 from its locked position into the release position because the pendulum weight 36 is clamped between the closure fitting 16 and the blocking surface of the cover 14.
