Definitions

• the invention relates to an external bearing for a backrest, in particular of a vehicle, with a bearing arm for the backrest, to which a supporting part is assigned.
• the present invention is based on the object
• the bearing arm and the support part enter into a latching connection.
• the latching connection should preferably be self-locking so that it is not easily released. In a preferred embodiment, however, it is designed in such a way that it is possible without additional tools simply by pivoting a pawl described later.
• the supporting part has a receptacle for a connecting element on the bearing arm.
• the connecting element is designed as a bolt which is held on the bearing arm by a bearing fork.
• This bolt is aligned horizontally in relation to the supporting part and can be inserted into a receptacle arranged on the supporting part.
• this receptacle has two spaced-apart receiving slots which are formed in the cheeks of a receiving fork. This receiving fork can be bent from the support part, which simplifies the manufacture of the support part.
• the bearing fork with the pin can be guided between the receiving fork so that the pin is in the
• Receiving slots slide. This means that the respective fork brackets can be guided into one another.
• the above-mentioned pawl is provided to fix the latching connection and is to be arranged pivotably on the supporting part.
• This pawl has a locking slot, which in turn has a self-locking locking contour in the area of the receiving slots.
• the pawl preferably sits between the two receiving slots, but it is also conceivable to arrange it outside, in which case, however, the bolt also extends over the receiving slots must reach out so that a catch of the pawl can reach over it.
• a spring is provided so that the pawl is held in an end position in which it strikes, for example, on a rear wall of the receiving fork. Due to the spring force and the contour design of the locking contour, a play-free function is guaranteed, an independent opening of the pawl is excluded. The pawl only opens under the pressure of the bolt when the bearing arm is to be connected to the support part.
• the inverted arrangement should also lie, that is to say that the receiving fork with the pawl is provided on the bearing arm and the bolt with the bearing fork is provided on the supporting part.
• Figure 1 is a front view of an outer bearing according to the invention for a backrest
• Figure 2 is a side view of the outer camp ge ass Figure 1;
• FIG. 3a) to 3d) perspective view of different steps in the assembly of the outer bearing.
• the bearing arm 1 and 2 a bearing arm 1 and a support part 2.
• the bearing arm 1 is preferably fixed to a backrest, for example a rear seat of a vehicle, while the supporting part
• the support part 2 is placed on a chassis.
• the support part 2 is of an angular configuration and has a mounting plate 3 with corresponding bores 4 for mounting, for example, on a chassis.
• a holding plate 5 protrudes from the mounting plate 3 and an angled receiving fork 6 is angled from it.
• This receiving fork 6 has two spaced receiving slots 7, only one slot being recognizable in the exemplary embodiment shown.
• the other slot is located behind a pawl 8, which is connected to the holding plate 5 via a swivel joint 9.
• the pawl 8 is tongue-like and strikes in an end position on a rear wall 10 of the receiving fork 6. In this position, the pawl 8 by a spring
• the spring 11 held.
• the spring 11 is on the one hand with the Pawl 8 and on the other hand connected to the holding plate 5 in a stationary manner. It can, for example, be suspended in a retaining tab 12.
• a locking contour 13 is from a receiving slot
• the locking contour 13 or the locking slot 14 is configured such that it is self-locking for a bolt 15 in its end position when it stops on the rear wall 10. In this end position, the pawl 8 engages over the bolt with a hook 16 such that it cannot slide out of the locking slot 14. This means that the hook 16 must overlap at least one upper apex of the jacket of the bolt 15.
• the bolt 15 is received in a bearing fork 17, which in turn is connected to the bearing arm 1 via a connecting plate 18.
