Definitions
- Lock cap for a buckle and procedure to her
- the invention relates to a lock cap for a buckle according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for its assembly according to claim 10.
- a lock cap for a buckle is known in which the connection of the two half-shells of the lock cap via ribbed connecting pins. These ribbed connecting pins have two portions facing away from each other, wherein the two sections have an opposite ribbing.
- Each lock cap has one hole per connecting pin, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the ribbed sections in the unassembled state. For assembly, the pins are pressed into the holes, where they hold due to the ribbing. This eliminates the need for poorly automatable screwing, but it is disadvantageous that at least in a final assembly step, a simultaneous and parallel insertion of the respective portions of the connecting pins must be made in the holes of a half-shell. On the one hand, this makes high assembly forces necessary, and on the other hand it makes it virtually impossible to use several types of connection in a lock cap.
- the present invention has the object to improve a generic lock cap to the effect that the disadvantages just described are overcome.
- the lock cap according to the invention has at least one at least partially ribbed connecting pin, which extends into holes in the two half shells.
- the hole in the first half-shell is a through hole, which is completely pierced by the connecting pin.
- the connecting pin has a head which is thickened in relation to the sections located in the holes and which lies outside the through-hole. That is, the connecting pin looks essentially like a screw with the difference that instead of a thread there is a ribbing.
- the assembly is also similar to a bolted lock cap: First, the two lock caps are brought to their later end position to each other and then the at least one connecting pin is first inserted into the through hole and then enters the hole of the second half-shell, which of course not by means of a rotation as when screwing, but by pressing in happens.
- FIG. 2 shows the lock cap from FIG. 1 in the assembled state
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view through a connection unit of FIG.
- Figure 4 is a schematic detail of Figure 3, wherein the head of the
- the lock cap described serves as an outer shell of a buckle, wherein a known locking mechanism is accommodated in the lock cap.
- the locking mechanism and the associated unlocking key are not shown; such a mechanism is known in the art.
- the lock cap consists of two half shells 10, 20 and two connecting pins 30, 30 '.
- the two half shells 10, 20 each extend along a longitudinal direction L.
- the second half-shell 20 has at its front end in the longitudinal direction L a closed region 23, the upper rear end of which has the rearwardly facing edge 24.
- Each connecting pin 30, 30 ' has a pin portion 32, 32' and a head 34, 34 '.
- the pin portions 32, 32 ' ribs in the form of a sawtooth profile, wherein the flanks 36 of the sawtooth profile facing away from the head (see also Figure 3).
- FIG. 3 shows the exact structure of a connection unit in the mounted state. The comments made in a similar manner apply to the other connection unit.
- the pin portion 32 extends through the entire length of the through hole 12 into the blind hole 22 and the head 34 is located outside the through hole 12 on the lowered portion 14.
- the diameter D1 of the through hole 22 of the first half shell 10 is greater than the diameter D2 of the blind hole 22 of the second half shell 20.
- the diameter D1 of the through hole 12 is slightly larger than the maximum diameter D3 of the pin section 32
- Diameter D2 of the blind hole 22 is slightly smaller than the maximum diameter D3 of the pin portion 32.
- the diameter D4 of the head 34 is greater than the diameter D1 of the blind hole 22nd
- the assembly is as follows: First, the first half-shell 10 is disposed on the second half-shell 20, wherein the last step of this arrangement is a longitudinal displacement of the first half-shell 10 in the direction L, so that the lugs 16, 16 ', 16 "under the The positioning of the first half-shell 10 on the second half-shell 20 is thus completed.
- connection method of the pressed-in connecting pins with other connection methods - in this case, a positive connection of the lugs with the edge pointing backwards.
- connection methods may include, for example, latching or the like.
- the two half-shells made of plastic and the connecting pins made of metal, in particular of a light metal such as aluminum.
- the connecting pins may be made by an extrusion molding process.
- the heads may each be covered by a cover, which preferably consists of the same material as the first half-shell 10.
- a cover which preferably consists of the same material as the first half-shell 10.
- a separate covering cap 40 as a covering element and to arrange this in a final working step.
- a cap 40 is shown in FIG.
- the attachment can be done by snapping on the head / heads or on corresponding locking elements of the first half-shell. Gluing or welding to the first half-shell is also possible.
- Another possibility is to arrange a corresponding cover before final assembly on each head, which can be done in particular by casting, pressing or gluing.
