Definitions

• the invention relates to a lock for a vehicle seat having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
• the invention is based on the object to further improve a castle of the type mentioned. This object is achieved by a lock with the features of claim 1.
• Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
• the counter element In the transition from an unlocked state of the lock according to the invention in the locked state, the counter element approaches the functional surface.
• the pawl having a contact projection which comes into contact with the counter-element approaching the functional surface, before the counter-element can come into contact with the functional surface, an impact of the preferably metallic counter-element on the preferably metallic functional surface is avoided. This reduces possible noise.
• the functional surface may continue to be exposed in order to keep the pawl free of play in direct cooperation with the securing element (s) and to secure the locked state without silencers being arranged in the force flow.
• the contact projection is preferably arranged immediately adjacent to the functional surface and preferably projects in the direction from which the counterelement approaches.
• the contact projection is formed as stiff as possible in order to prevent contact of the counter element and the functional surface even after a small - in particular elastic - deformation.
• the securing of the pawl is preferably carried out by a catch-tension system, as described for example in DE 4439 644 Al.
• the lock according to the invention is preferably used for a vehicle seat whose backrest is to be locked to the vehicle structure. However, it can also be used at another location of the vehicle seat, for example for locking the vehicle seat with the vehicle floor, or at another location in a vehicle, for example for locking doors or hoods.
• FIG. 3 shows a section through the embodiment along the line III-III in Fig. 5 and 6 in the locked state
• FIG. 4 a section corresponding to FIG. 3 in the unlocked state
• Fig. 7 is a schematic side view of a vehicle seat
• FIG. 8 to 10 partial views of the exemplary embodiment during the locking operation.
• a vehicle seat 1 In a rear row of seats of a motor vehicle, a vehicle seat 1 is provided.
• the vehicle seat 1 has a seat part 3 and a backrest 4 pivotable relative to the seat part 3.
• the backrest 4 is lockable by means of at least one lock 10 and a counter element B with the vehicle structure S of the motor vehicle - detachable for the user.
• the lock 10 may be attached to the back 4 and the counter element B to the vehicle structure S or vice versa.
• the counter element B is for example a bolt or a bracket with a round, in particular circular or oval, cross-section.
• the lock 10 comprises a housing 12, which in the present case is formed in one piece and semi-open, but may also be in two parts and closed.
• a first bearing pin 14 is perpendicular to the housing 12 and is pulled here as a passage of the material of the metallic housing 12.
• the hollow first bearing pin 14 supports a pivotable pawl 15.
• the directional data used in the following refers to the cylindrical coordinates defined thereby.
• the housing 12 and the pawl 15 each have a receptacle 12a and 15a, which intersect each other in a locked state of the lock 10.
• the pawl 15 In an unlocked state of the lock 10, the pawl 15 is pivoted so that its receptacle 15a and the receptacle 12a of the housing 12 for the counter-element B are receptive.
• the otherwise metallic pawl 15 has a cap 17 made of plastic, which covers portions of the pawl 15, in particular the edges of the receptacle 15 a.
• the cap 17 can come into direct contact with the counter element B.
• a second bearing pin 18, which is parallel to the first bearing pin 14, likewise protrudes perpendicularly from the housing 12 and, in the present case, is also pulled as a passage from the material of the metallic housing 12.
• the hollow second bearing pin 18 supports a catch element 20 and along the second bearing pin 18 displaces a clamping eccentric 22, both of which are pivotable independently of one another in the plane of the pawl 15.
• the pawl 15, the catch element 20 and the clamping eccentric 22 are each biased in a pivoting direction, in the present case by springs 24, wherein the pawl 15 are biased in their opening direction and the catch element 20 and the clamping eccentric 22 in its closing direction.
• the pretensioned clamping eccentric 22 acts on the pawl 15 by means of a clamping surface 22a which is curved eccentrically to the second bearing pin 18, in order to exert a closing moment on the pawl 15.
• a functional surface 15b of the pawl 15 cooperates with the clamping surface 22a, the angle between the clamping surface 22a and the functional surface 15a being outside the self-locking region.
• the functional surface 15b is formed in the portion of the metallic pawl 17 otherwise covered by the cap 17, but at this point the cap 17 has a window to allow direct contact with the metallic functional surface 15b.
• the catching element 20 In the locked state of the lock 10, the catching element 20 is arranged with a catching surface 20a at a distance from the functional surface 15b. If, in the event of a crash, the Kinke 15 exerts an opening moment on the clamping eccentric 22 as a result of the forces occurring between lock 10 and counter elements B, the latch 15, after a short pivoting movement, comes into contact with the catch surface 20a with its functional surface 15b. The angle between the catching surface 20a and the functional surface 15a is within the self-locking region, that is, the pawl 15 can not exert any opening moment on the catching element 20. The catch element 20 thus supports the pawl 15 in the event of a crash. The catch element 20 and the clamping eccentric 22 are thus securing elements. Both are metallic.
• a coupling plate 26 is provided in the present case, which is placed on the two bearing pins 14 and 18 and secured by two retaining rings 28 on the bearing pins 14 and 18. is chert.
• the pawl 15, the catch element 20 and the clamping eccentric 22 are thus arranged spatially between the housing 12 and the coupling plate 26.
• the pawl 15 has a contact projection 30 laterally offset from the functional surface 15b, more precisely in an axial direction relative to the functional surface 15b with respect to the first bearing pin 14 in relation to the first bearing pin 14.
• the contact projection 30 projects in the circumferential direction, that is to say in the pivoting direction of the pawl 15, opposite the functional surface 15b, in this case by approximately 0.5 mm.
• the pawl 15 carries a cap 17, in particular also in the area surrounding the functional surface 15b, in the present case the contact projection 30 is integrally formed on the cap 17, that is, integrally formed with it.
• the contact projection 30 is thus made of plastic.
• the contact projection 30 could also be a separately formed component, which is fastened to the pawl 15. In the locked state of the lock 10 and the unlocking of the contact projection 30 has no special function.
• the contact projection 30 precedes the functional surface 15b.
• the contact projection 30 comes into contact with the counter element B.
• the contact projection 30 absorbs the impact, ie it serves as impact protection.
• the material of the contact projection 30 deforms as small as possible so that the counter element B does not come into contact with the functional surface 15b. The contact projection 30 thus prevents noise on impact of metallic functional surface 15b and metal counter-element B to each other.
• the pawl 15 is secured in the locked state by the clamping eccentric 22 in the normal case and the catch element 20 in the event of a crash.
• the clamping eccentric 22 is then taken by the catch eccentric 20 or its actuator and is also opened.
• the pawl 15 opens in the present case due to their bias.
