Definitions

the invention relates to a two-part lock housing for rod closures two drive rods slidably guided in the housing Housing rotatably mounted, with a drive polygon for a drive element provided gear can be driven in opposite directions, the housing being a U-shaped Has base part, as well as with on the legs of the base part overlying cover part, cover part and base part together Guide surfaces for the drive rods and at least one cylindrical Bearing hole for the gear and at least one opening for the Have polygonal drive element and wherein the cover part and base part via connecting elements formed on one of the parts are connected to each other, which in corresponding recesses on each intervene another part.
Such lock housings are available in many versions, for example from EP-A-0 292 665 known, the housing having a U-shaped base part. At this known lock housing is used to connect the base part and Cover part on projections formed on the base part, which are resilient in Engage recesses formed in the cover part. To lock the Fasteners with each other, it is in this known lock housing thus imperative that at least one of the components from one elastic material is used to connect the base part and cover part to enable. The choice of materials for training such The lock housing is consequently elastic at least in part of the housing Materials limited, which is a simple and inexpensive manufacture of the known housing can partially conflict.
Another lock housing is known from DE 92 12 950 U1.
the thigh this base part forming the actual lock housing are at their free Wavy ends formed with a plurality of locking hooks, the hook part extends at right angles to the longitudinal extension of the legs.
These snap hooks engage in corresponding locking recesses of a faceplate, which thus encloses the gear and a drive rod together with the housing.
This drive rod can be driven by the gearwheel, which can be driven by two Legs of the housing formed cylindrical bearing bores rotatable in Housing is stored.
the second drive rod, which can be driven in opposite directions, is not directly through the gear, but indirectly through two deflection pinions driven. These deflection pinions engage toothed sections of the two Driving rods so that the movement generated by the gear one connecting rod moves the other connecting rod in the opposite direction becomes.
the lock housing known from DE 92 12 950 U1 has a very complicated Shape, especially since bearing surfaces are provided for the two reversing pinions have to.
the known housing is accordingly in a complicated form Made of plastic.
the invention has for its object to develop a lock housing of the known type such that it can be manufactured more cheaply and assembled in a simple manner.
the solution to this problem by the invention is characterized by a cover part resting on the legs of the base part, the cover part and base part jointly having guide surfaces for the drive rods and at least one cylindrical bearing bore for the gearwheel and at least one opening for the drive element acting on the polygonal drive element and by two Hooks which are formed on the cover part and each engage in a recess in one leg of the base part can be connected to one another, and are formed angularly with a projection which projects in the longitudinal direction of the housing and which engages in a corresponding groove formed in the recess of the legs.
the inventive design of the lock housing results in two can be produced in a simple manner, in particular by punching out of sheet metal Housing parts that are already in their manufacture with the guide surfaces for the Drive rods, at least one bearing hole for the gear and at least an opening for the engaging on the polygon drive of the gear Drive element are formed and the simple way by hook are connected to each other, which are formed on the cover part and each in engage a recess in one leg of the base part.
the Lock housing according to the invention accordingly consists of two constructive simple and inexpensive to manufacture housing parts without additional Fasteners after inserting the drive rods and the Gear connected to each other with the help of the hooks according to the invention are, so that there is also a simple and therefore inexpensive assembly.
the axial extension of the Cutouts larger than the axial extension of the one with the projection provided hook is executed and the hook in its engaged position Axial direction can be determined, there is also a simple constructive Design of the hooks formed on the cover part and with them cooperating legs of the base part, so that also in this regard an inexpensive manufacture and simple assembly and finally one Functionally reliable connection of the two housing parts can be achieved.
the lock housing consists of a U-shaped cross section Base part 1 shown in Figures 4 and 5 and a cover part 2 according to FIGS. 6 and 7.
the base part 1 comprises a web 11 and two Leg 12, each provided with a recess 13 are.
a recess 13 In the area of this recess 13 is one Groove 14 formed, as shown in FIG. 5 in particular Web 11 is provided with a cylindrical bearing bore 15.
a holding web 16 on the web 11 molded with a hammer head-like end, which in Initial state on the same level as the web 11 lies.
the cover part 2 is in the manner of a rectangular Plate 21 executed on two opposite Edges with incisions 22 is provided. Between These cuts 22 have a hook 23 on the plate 21 molded on, which protrudes at right angles from the plate 21 and is provided with a projection 24 that the groove 24 of the recesses 13 corresponds. After all, in one Embossing 25 of plate 21 is a receiving groove 26 for those with a hammer head-like end Holding web 16 is provided.
the base part 1 and cover part are assembled 2 existing lock housing in that the Cover part 2 with its hooks 23 on the recesses 13 is placed in the legs 12 of the base part 1. Since the axial extension of the with the projection 24th provided hook 23 is smaller than the axial extent of the recesses 13, the cover part 2 in set perpendicular to the web 11 of the base part 1 until the plate 21 of the lid part 2 the end faces of the legs 12 of the base part 1 rests. Such a situation is shown in FIG. 9. By a slight axial relative movement between Base part 1 and cover part 2 engage the Hooks 23 formed projections 24 in the grooves 14th of the recesses 13 a. The ones to be carried out for this Movements are symbolized by the two arrows in Fig. 8.
Base part 1 and cover part 2 existing and assembled Lock housing is the housing of a bar lock shown in Figures 1 to 3.
These figures show that such a rod lock two opposed Movable drive rods 3 comprises.
These drive rods 3 are in the longitudinal direction of the lock housing slidable on guide surfaces of both Base part 1 and the cover part 2 out and support with their mutually facing surfaces as in particular FIGS. 1 and 3 demonstrate.
the drive rods 3 are driven by a Gear 4 with its teeth in rack-like Tooth gaps 31 of the drive rods 3 engages.
the Gear is designed with a recess Drive square 41 provided in the one on the drawing engages drive element, not shown. How 3, causes a twist the gear 4 an opposite movement the drive rods 3, which in a suitable manner with the drawing locking rods, not shown of the rod lock.
