Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Verschluss der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Art. Bei Fahrzeugen kann der Verschluss beispielsweise an einer klappbeweglichen Heckscheibe angewendet werden. Zum Verschluss gehört ein Schließkopf und ein Schloss, die beim Zuklappen der Heckscheibe miteinander kuppeln. Im Kupplungsfall greift ein federndes Sperrglied hinter einer Axialschulter des Schließkopfs, was die Sperrposition des Verschlusses kennzeichnet. Zum Entkuppeln des Schließkopfs wird das Sperrglied über ein Rückstellglied in eine Freigabeposition überführt, wo sich der Schließkopf wieder aus dem Schloss entkuppeln lässt und die Heckscheibe in ihre Aufklapplage überführt werden kann.The invention relates to a closure in the preamble of claim 1 specified type. In vehicles, the closure can for example on a hinged rear window can be applied. A lock belongs to Closing head and a lock that when folding the rear window together couple. In the coupling case, a resilient locking member engages behind an axial shoulder of the locking head, which indicates the locking position of the lock. To the The locking member is uncoupled into a via a reset member Release position transferred, where the locking head comes out of the lock can be uncoupled and the rear window can be moved into its unfolded position.

Bei dem bekannten Schloss besitzt der Schließkopf an seinem freien Endabschnitt eine geneigt zur axialen Bewegungsrichtung verlaufende Steuerfläche, welche die Aufgabe hat das Sperrglied beim Einkuppeln des Schließkopfs gegen dessen Federkraft wegzudrücken. Das Sperrglied war axialen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Das Wegdrücken des Sperrglieds durch den Schließkopf erzeugte Reibungen und damit Verschleiss. Nach längerer Benutzung ergaben sich Störungen durch Verschleiss, die sich nur mühsam durch Nachjustage mildern ließen. Es gab im Schloss auch ein axial gefedertes Fühlglied, welches die Aufgabe hatte mit einem Sensor zusammenzuwirken. Der Sensor hatte die Aufgabe weitere Funktionen im Fahrzeug. z.B. Wirksamsetzen der Diebstahlwarnanlage, zu bewirken. Das Fühlglied hatte also gegenüber dem Sperrglied eine eigene Funktion. Beide Bauteile hatten nichts miteinander zu tun.In the known lock, the closing head has at its free end section a control surface inclined to the axial direction of movement, which the Task has the locking member when engaging the closing head against it To push the spring force away. The locking member was subjected to axial loads. The Pushing the locking member away from the closing head generated friction and thus Wear. After prolonged use, there were faults due to wear and tear could only be mitigated with difficulty by readjustment. There was also an axial in the castle spring-loaded sensing element, which had the task of a sensor co. The sensor was responsible for other functions in the vehicle. e.g. Activate the anti-theft alarm system. So the sensing element had a separate function compared to the blocking element. Both components had nothing to do with each other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde einen preiswerten, raumsparenden Verschluss der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 genannten Art zu entwickeln, der sich durch hohe Zuverlässigkeit und geringe Störanfälligkeit auszeichnet. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angeführten Maßnahmen erreicht, denen folgende besondere Bedeutung zukommt.The invention has for its object an inexpensive, space-saving Develop closure of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, the is characterized by high reliability and low susceptibility to faults. this will according to the invention by those stated in the characterizing part of claim 1 Measures achieved, which have the following special importance.

Bei der Erfindung übernimmt das Fühlglied die neue Funktion, ein Arretiermittel für das Sperrglied zu sein. Solange der Schließkopf entkuppelt ist, arretiert das Fühlglied die Freigabeposition des Sperrglieds. Es lässt sich ein verschleissfreies Einkuppeln und Entkuppeln des Schließkopfs erzielen, ohne dass das Sperrglied vom Schließkopf bewegt werden müsste. Die Bewegung des Sperrglieds tritt vielmehr erst dann ein, wenn die volle Kupplungslage des Schließkopfs im Schloss erzielt ist. Das erfolgt automatisch. Beim Einführen stößt der Schließkopf auf das Fühlglied, das aufgrund seiner axialen Federung dieser axialen Bewegung des Schließkopfs folgt. Das bewegte Fühlglied löst die Arretierung, wodurch das Sperrglied durch seine radiale Federbelastung in seine Sperrposition überführt wird, wo es den Schließkopf hintergreift. Die Arretierung des Sperrglieds durch das Fühlglied tritt selbsttätig wieder ein, wenn das Sperrglied beim Betätigen des Rückstellglieds in seine Freigabeposition zurückgeführt wird. Dann ist wieder der Ausgangszustand erreicht.In the invention, the sensing element takes on the new function, a locking means for to be the locking link. As long as the closing head is uncoupled, the sensing element locks the release position of the locking member. Wear-free engaging is possible and achieve decoupling of the closing head without the locking member from the closing head should be moved. Rather, the movement of the locking member only occurs when when the full coupling position of the locking head is achieved in the lock. That happens automatically. During insertion, the closing head hits the sensing element, which is due to its axial suspension follows this axial movement of the closing head. The moving sensing element releases the lock, causing the locking element through its radial Spring load is transferred to its locked position where there is the closing head engages behind. The locking element is automatically locked by the sensing element back on when the locking member in its actuation of the reset member Release position is returned. Then the initial state is reached again.

Im vorliegenden Fall ist dieser Bauteil 20 aber rotationssymmetrisch zu seiner in Bewegungsrichtung 32 weisenden Achse 33 gestaltet. Der Schließkopf 20 lässt sich, wie Fig. 2 verdeutlicht, in vier Abschnitte 21 bis 24 gliedern. Dazu gehört ein vorderer Endabschnitt 21 der hier konisch ausgebildet ist. Der Endabschnitt 21 verjüngt sich zum vorderen Stirnende 25 des Schließkopfs 20. Das Stirnende 25 ist ballig ausgebildet. Der konische Endabschnitt 21 erzeugt eine geneigte Steuerfläche 27, die wegen der erwähnten rotationssymmetrischen Ausbildung des Schließkopfs 20 allseitig entsteht.The movable component 20 referred to as the "closing head" can be in the form of an axial one Projection be formed with a non-circular radial profile. In the present case but this component 20 is rotationally symmetrical to its in the direction of movement 32 pointing axis 33 designed. The closing head 20 can, as shown in FIG. 2, divided into four sections 21 to 24. This includes a front end portion 21 of the is conical here. The end section 21 tapers to the front End 25 of the closing head 20. The end 25 is spherical. The conical end portion 21 creates an inclined control surface 27, which because of the mentioned rotationally symmetrical design of the closing head 20 arises on all sides.

Diesem Endabschnitt 21 folgt eine Einschnürung 22 im Schließkopf 20, die am Übergang zum Endabschnitt 21 eine hinterschnittene Axialschulter 26 entstehen lässt. Hinter der Einschnürung 22 befindet sich ein zylindrischer Abschnitt 23, der, zur Einschnürung 22 hin, eine in Bewegungsrichtung 32 des Schließkopfs 20 weisende Einlaufschräge 28 besitzt. Auch diese Einlaufschräge 28 ist, wegen der bereits mehrfach erwähnten rotationssymmetrischen Ausbildung des Schließkopfs 20 umlaufend zur Schließkopfachse 33 ausgebildet.This end section 21 is followed by a constriction 22 in the closing head 20, which on Transition to the end section 21 creates an undercut axial shoulder 26. Behind the constriction 22 there is a cylindrical section 23 which, for Constriction 22, one pointing in the direction of movement 32 of the closing head 20 Has chamfer 28. This inlet slope 28 is also because of the rotationally symmetrical design of the closing head 20 mentioned several times formed all round to the locking head axis 33.

Am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Schließkopfs 20 ist schließlich ein axialer Montagezapfen 24 vorgesehen, der in einer Aufnahme 34 der Heckscheibe 30 befestigt ist. Diese Befestigung in der Aufnahme 34 erfolgt mittelbar über eine aus Elastomermaterial 35 bestehende Buchse 36, in welche eine Gewindehülse 37 integriert ist. In das Innengewinde dieser Gewindehülse 37 ist der mit einem Außengewinde 44 versehene Montagezapfen 24 verschraubbar. Die Buchse 36 sitzt in einem Scheibenknopf 38, der über eine Dichtung 43 in der Scheibenaufnahme 34 sitzt. Der Scheibenknopf 38 stützt sich mit einer Flanschfläche an der einen Seite der Heckscheibe 30 ab und ist an der Scheibe 30 durch einen sich an der gegenüberliegenden Scheibenseite abstützenden Sicherungsring 39 befestigt. Die Befestigung des Sicherungsrings 39 erfolgt am Umfang eines die Buchse 36 aufnehmenden Hohlschafts vom Scheibenknopf 38, welcher, unter Zwischenschaltung der Dichtung 43, in der Scheibenaufnahme 34 sitzt.Finally, at the opposite end of the closing head 20 there is an axial one Mounting pin 24 provided in a receptacle 34 of the rear window 30th is attached. This attachment in the receptacle 34 takes place indirectly via a Elastomeric material 35 existing bush 36 into which a threaded sleeve 37 is integrated. In the internal thread of this threaded sleeve 37 is the one External thread 44 provided mounting pin 24 screwed. The socket 36 is seated in a disk button 38, which has a seal 43 in the disk holder 34 sitting. The disk button 38 is supported with a flange on one side of the Rear window 30 from and is on the window 30 by one on the opposite locking ring supporting circlip 39 attached. The The securing ring 39 is attached to the circumference of a bush 36 receiving hollow shaft from the disk button 38, which, with interposition the seal 43, sits in the disc holder 34.

Die Schraubverbindung 37, 44 des Schließkopfs 20 erlaubt es den Schließkopf 20 in seiner aus Fig. 2 ersichtlichen axialer Länge 42 gegenüber der Scheibe 30 genau einzujustieren. Dazu besitzt der Schließkopf 20 an seinem vorderen Stirnende 25 eine unrunde Steckaufnahme 29 für ein noch näher zu beschreibendes, aus Fig. 6 ersichtliches Drehwerkzeug 50.The screw connection 37, 44 of the closing head 20 allows the closing head 20 in its axial length 42 shown in FIG. 2 with respect to the disk 30 exactly einzujustieren. For this purpose, the closing head 20 has one at its front end 25 out-of-round plug-in receptacle 29 for a to be described in more detail from FIG. 6 apparent turning tool 50.

Das Schloss 10 umfasst, wie am besten aus Fig. 4 zu ersehen ist, ein Sperrglied 11, ein Fühlglied 12, ein Rückstellglied 13 und einen motorischen Betätiger 14 für das Rückstellglied 13. Diese Glieder 11 bis 14 befinden sich im Inneren eines zweiteiligen Gehäuses 19, 49. Das Gehäuse umfasst, wie am besten aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, eine Gehäuseschale 19, die von einem Gehäusedeckel 49 verschlossen ist. Der Gehäusedeckel besitzt eine Kupplungsöffnung 41. Diese Kupplungsöffnung 41 ist, wie aus der Draufsicht von Fig. 3 hervorgeht, kreisförmig ausgebildet und zwar koaxial zu der auch in Fig. 1 eingezeichneten Achse 33, welche, wie gesagt, durch die axiale Bewegungsrichtung 32 des Schließkopfs 20 bestimmt ist. Die Kupplungsöffnung 41 ist von einer aus Fig. 1 und 3 erkennbare rohrförmigen Führung 45 umschlossen, deren lichte Weite dem Querschnitt 46 vom zylindrischen Abschnitt 23 des Schließkopfs 20 angepasst ist. Der Querschnitt 46 ist etwas größer als der aus Fig. 2 ersichtliche maximale Querschnitt 47 vom konischen Endabschnitt 21 des Schließkopfs 20 ausgebildet. The lock 10 comprises, as can best be seen from FIG. 4, a locking member 11, a sensing member 12, a reset member 13 and a motor actuator 14 for the Reset member 13. These members 11 to 14 are inside a two-part Housing 19, 49. As best shown in FIG. 1, the housing comprises one Housing shell 19 which is closed by a housing cover 49. The Housing cover has a coupling opening 41. This coupling opening 41 is as can be seen from the plan view of FIG. 3, circular coaxial to the axis 33 also shown in FIG. 1, which, as said, by the axial direction of movement 32 of the closing head 20 is determined. The Coupling opening 41 is of a tubular one recognizable from FIGS. 1 and 3 Guide 45 enclosed, the clear width of the cross section 46 of the cylindrical Section 23 of the closing head 20 is adapted. The cross section 46 is somewhat larger than the maximum cross-section 47 of the conical end section as can be seen in FIG. 2 21 of the closing head 20 is formed.

Beim Einführen des Schließkopfs 20 in die Kupplungsöffnung 41 des Schlosses 10 im Sinne des Pfeils 32 kann es bereits am konischen Endabschnitt 21 zu Ausrichtbewegungen gegenüber dem Schloss 10 kommen. Die beschriebenen, geneigten Steuerflächen 27 der Konizität wirken mit dem die Kupplungsöffnung 41 umschließenden rohrförmigen Ansatz 45 zusammen. Eine Zentrierung des Schließkopfs 20 tritt insbesondere durch die Einlaufschräge 28 am nachfolgenden zylindrischen Abschnitt 23 des Schließkopfs 20 ein. Der rohrförmige Ansatz 45 wirkt als Führungsaufnahme für den Zylinderabschnitt 23 und sichert dessen koaxiale Lage in dem aus Fig. 6 ersichtlichen Kupplungsfall; der Zylinderabschnitt 23 stützt sich mit seinem Umfang an der Innenfläche der Führungsaufnahme 45 vom Gehäuse 10 ab. Die Buchse 36 besitzt einen aus Fig. 2 ersichtlichen koaxialen Ringansatz 48, der im Kupplungsfall von Fig. 6 den schlossseitigen Rohransatz 45 elastisch umschließt. Im Kupplungsfall von Fig. 6 entsteht so bei 45, 48 eine Abdichtung des Schlossinneren gegenüber Wasser und Schmutz aus der Umgebung.When inserting the closing head 20 into the coupling opening 41 of the lock 10 in In the sense of arrow 32, it can already close at the conical end section 21 Alignment movements come towards the lock 10. The described inclined control surfaces 27 of the conicity act with the coupling opening 41 enclosing tubular extension 45 together. A centering of the Closing head 20 occurs in particular through the inlet slope 28 on the following cylindrical portion 23 of the closing head 20. The tubular extension 45 acts as a guide receptacle for the cylinder section 23 and ensures its coaxial position in the coupling case shown in FIG. 6; the cylinder section 23 is supported its circumference on the inner surface of the guide receptacle 45 from the housing 10. The bushing 36 has a coaxial ring extension 48 which can be seen in FIG 6 elastically encloses the tube extension 45 on the lock side. in the 6 thus creates a seal at 45, 48 of the interior of the lock against water and dirt from the environment.

Das Elastomermaterial 35 der Buchse 36 sorgt vor allem für eine radial elastische Halterung des Schließkopfs 20 an der Scheibe 30. Nach längerem Gebrauch des Kraftfahrzeugs kann nämlich das Scharnier für die eingangs beschriebene Klappbewegung 31 der Heckscheibe 30 infolge Verschleisses zu einer Verstellung des Klappbewegungswegs 31 führen. Damit die vorerwähnte radiale Ausrichtbewegung an den Steuerflächen 27 bzw. der Einlaufschrägen 28 während des Einkuppelns erfolgen kann, sollte der Montagezapfen 24 des Schließkopfs 20 in der Buchse 36 eine durch den radialen Doppelpfeil 58 in Fig. 2 veranschaulichte Ausrichtbewegung ausführen. Der Montagezapfen 24 ist nämlich wegen der Nachgiebigkeit des Buchsenmaterials 35 radial elastisch in der Buchse 36 gehaltert.The elastomer material 35 of the bush 36 primarily ensures a radially elastic Holding of the closing head 20 on the disc 30. After prolonged use of the Motor vehicle can namely the hinge for the above Folding movement 31 of the rear window 30 due to wear to an adjustment of the folding movement path 31 lead. So that the aforementioned radial Alignment movement on the control surfaces 27 and the inlet slopes 28 during the Coupling can take place, the mounting pin 24 of the closing head 20 in the Bushing 36 is illustrated by the radial double arrow 58 in FIG. 2 Carry out alignment movement. The mounting pin 24 is because of The bushing material 35 is held in the bushing 36 in a radially elastic manner.

Das Sperrglied 11 ist, wie Fig. 4 zeigt, als zweiarmiger 51, 52 Hebel ausgebildet. Dieser Hebel sitzt auf einer parallel zur Achse 33 liegenden Schwenkachse 53 welche die Hebelarme 51, 52 radial beweglich zur Achse 33 macht. Am Sperrglied 11 wirkt eine zweischenklige Sperrfeder 56 an, die auf den Hebelarm 51 eine durch den Pfeil 54 in Fig. 4 veranschaulichte Federkraft ausübt. Der Hebelarm 51 ist also im Wesentlichen in Richtung der Achse 33 gefedert. Im aus Fig. 1 bis 4 ersichtlichen Entkupplungsfall des Schließkopfs 20 kann sich aber die Federkraft 54 nicht auswirken, weil der Hebelarm 51 durch eine Arretierung 61, 62 in seiner Schwenkposition von Fig. 4 festgehalten wird. Diese Stellung erweist sich als "Freigabeposition" des Sperrglieds 11.4, the locking member 11 is designed as a two-armed 51, 52 lever. This lever sits on a pivot axis 53 lying parallel to the axis 33 makes the lever arms 51, 52 radially movable to the axis 33. At the locking member 11 acts a two-leg locking spring 56 on the lever arm 51 by the arrow 54 illustrated in FIG. 4 exerts spring force. The lever arm 51 is therefore in the Suspended essentially in the direction of the axis 33. In the apparent from Fig. 1 to 4 If the closing head 20 is uncoupled, the spring force 54 cannot impact because the lever arm 51 by a lock 61, 62 in its 4 is held. This position proves to be "Release position" of the locking member 11.

Dies ist möglich, weil das Fühlglied 12 bei der Erfindung als "Arretierungsmittel" für das Sperrglied 11 wirkt. Das Fühlglied 12 ist als einarmiger Hebel ausgebildet, dessen Schwenkachse 55 senkrecht zur Schwenkachse 53 des Sperrglieds 11 steht. Während das Fühlglied 12 in der Zeichenebene von Fig. 1 im Sinne des Pfeils 60 schwenkbeweglich ist, liegt die durch den Pfeil 57 in Fig. 4 verdeutlichte Schwenkbewegung des Sperrglieds 11 senkrecht dazu, nämlich in der Zeichenebene von Fig. 4. Das bedeutet, dass das Fühlglied 12 axial, also parallel zur Achse 33 von Fig. 1, aber das Stellglied 11 radial zur Achse 33 verschwenkbar sind. Auch das Fühlglied 12 ist federbelastet und zwar durch eine im Wesentlichen axiale, mittels des Pfeils 63 von Fig. 1 verdeutlichte Federkraft. Dazu dient hier eine Druckfeder 64, die sich einerends am Boden der Gehäuseschale 19 und andererends am Fühlglied 12 abstützt. Das Fühlglied 12 ist mit einem hier als Nocken 62 aufgerüsteten Halteelement versehen, das, aufgrund der Federbelastung 63 des Fühlglieds 12, wie Fig. l zeigt, auf das Sperrglied 11 zu federbelastet ist und in dessen Freigabeposition in eine Aussparung 61 eingreift, die als Gegenhalteelement für den Nocken 62 dient. Der Nocken 62 besitzt eine Schulter, mit welcher er mit einer Gegenschulter 65 im Inneren der Aussparung 61 zur Anlage kommt. In dieser aus Fig. l und 4 ersichtlichen Freigabeposition des Sperrglieds 11 kann der Schließkopf 20 im Sinne des Pfeils 32 in dem Schloss 10 eingekuppelt bzw. im Sinne des Gegenpfeils 32' von Fig. 1 entkuppelt werden. In der letzten Phase der Kupplungsbewegung 32 kommt es aber aus folgendem Grund zu einer Lösung der Arretierung 61, 62. This is possible because the sensing element 12 in the invention as a "locking means" for the locking member 11 acts. The sensing element 12 is designed as a one-armed lever, whose pivot axis 55 is perpendicular to the pivot axis 53 of the locking member 11. While the sensing element 12 in the plane of the drawing in FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrow 60 is pivotable, is the one indicated by arrow 57 in FIG. 4 Pivoting movement of the locking member 11 perpendicular to it, namely in the plane of the drawing of Fig. 4. This means that the sensing member 12 axially, ie parallel to the axis 33 of Fig. 1, but the actuator 11 are pivotable radially to the axis 33. That too Sensor element 12 is spring-loaded, namely by an essentially axial, by means of Arrow 63 of Fig. 1 illustrates spring force. A compression spring 64 is used for this purpose one end on the bottom of the housing shell 19 and the other end on the sensing element 12 supported. The sensing element 12 is equipped with a cam 62 here Holding element provided, which, due to the spring load 63 of the sensing member 12 Fig. L shows, is too spring-loaded on the locking member 11 and in its release position engages in a recess 61 which serves as a counter-holding element for the cam 62. The cam 62 has a shoulder with which it with a counter shoulder 65 in Inside the recess 61 comes to rest. In this from FIGS. 1 and 4 Obvious release position of the locking member 11, the closing head 20 in the sense of the arrow 32 coupled in the lock 10 or in the sense of the counter arrow 32 'of Fig. 1 are uncoupled. In the last phase of the clutch movement 32 it comes but for the following reason to release the locking 61, 62.

Beim Einkuppeln 32 des Schließkopfs 20 stößt dieser gegen das Fühlglied 12. Es kommt zu einer axialen Wegschwenkbewegung im Sinne des erwähnten Schwenkbewegunaspfeils 60 von Fig. 1, gegen die Federbelastung 63 des Fühlglieds 12. Dadurch wird der Nocken 62 aus der Aussparung 61 im Sperrglied 11 herausgezogen. Dann ist das Sperrglied 11 frei und kann im Sinne des auf ihn wirkenden Kraftpfeils 54 von Fig. 4 gemäß dem dortigen Pfeil 57 radial gegen die Achse 33 bewegt werden. Dadurch fährt, wie aus Fig. 5 zu erkennen ist, der Hebelarm 51 in die Einschnürung 22 vom Schließkopf 20. Der Hebelarm 51 hintergreift die Axialschulter 26 vom Schließkopf 20. Der Schließkopf 20 ist in seiner Kupplungslage im Schloss 10 gesichert. Die aus Fig. 5 und 6 ersichtliche Schwenkposition des Sperrglieds 11 erweist sich als die "Sperrposition". Ein Entkuppeln im Sinne des in Fig. 6 verdeutlichten Pfeils 32' ist zunächst nicht möglich. Dazu muss das oben erwähnte Rückstellglied 13 wirksamgesetzt werden, was hier durch einen motorischen Betätiger 14 geschieht.When engaging 32 of the closing head 20, it bumps against the sensing element 12 comes to an axial pivoting movement in the sense of the aforementioned Pivoting movement arrow 60 from FIG. 1, against the spring load 63 of the sensing element 12. As a result, the cam 62 is removed from the recess 61 in the locking member 11 pulled out. Then the locking member 11 is free and can in the sense of it force arrow 54 of FIG. 4 acting radially against the arrow 57 there Axis 33 are moved. As a result, as can be seen from FIG. 5, the Lever arm 51 in the constriction 22 from the closing head 20. The lever arm 51 engages behind the axial shoulder 26 of the closing head 20. The closing head 20 is in his Coupling position secured in lock 10. The apparent from Figs. 5 and 6 Pivot position of the locking member 11 proves to be the "locking position". On Decoupling in the sense of arrow 32 'illustrated in FIG. 6 is initially not possible. For this purpose, the above-mentioned reset element 13 must be activated, what happens here through a motorized actuator 14.

Wie aus Fig. 4 und 5 zu erkennen ist, besteht hier das Rückstellglied 13 aus einem Steuerzapfen 15, der an einem Schneckenrad 16 sitzt. Das Schneckenrad 16 ist mit seiner Schneckenradachse 66 im Gehäuse 19, 49 drehgelagert und steht unter der Wirkung einer Schneckenradfeder 67. Durch geeignete Drehanschläge wird das Schneckenrad 16 in der aus Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Ausgangsdrehlage gehalten, wo. wenn die dortige Freigabeposition des Sperrglieds 11 vorliegt, normalerweise ein radialer Abstand zu dem zweiten Arm 52 des Sperrglieds 11 besteht. Wenn aber die, aus Fig. 5 und 6 ersichtliche Sperrposition des Sperrglieds 11 vorliegt, wo der erstgenannte Arbeitsarm 51 des Sperrglieds 11 die Kupplungslage des Schließkopfs 20 sichert, dann hat sich der zweite Hebelarm 52 auf den Steuerzapfen 15 zu verschwenkt. Bedarfsweise kann dann der Steuerzapfen 15 auch als Anschlag für die Schwenkbewegung 57 des Sperrglieds 11 dienen. In Fig. 5 und 6 ist die Scheibe 30 zugeklappt. As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 5, here the reset member 13 consists of a Control pin 15 which sits on a worm wheel 16. The worm wheel 16 is with its worm wheel axis 66 in the housing 19, 49 rotatably and is under the Effect of a worm gear spring 67 Worm gear 16 held in the initial rotational position shown in FIG. 4, where. when the release position of the locking member 11 is there, normally a radial distance to the second arm 52 of the locking member 11. But if they 5 and 6 apparent locking position of the locking member 11 is where the first-mentioned working arm 51 of the locking member 11, the coupling position of the closing head 20 secures, then the second lever arm 52 has towards the control pin 15 pivoted. If necessary, the control pin 15 can then also serve as a stop for the Serve pivoting movement 57 of the locking member 11. 5 and 6 is the disk 30 closed.

In der Zuklapplage der Heckscheibe 30 kann eine Diebstahlswarnanlage wirksamgesetzt sein. Die. Abfrage der Diebstahlswarnanlage kann über einen Mikroschalter 70 erfolgen, dessen Schaltbetätigung über einen von einer Platzfeder 72 od. dgl. betätigbaren Schaltknopf 71 erfolgt. Dieser Mikroschalter 70 wirkt mit dem dabei als Stellarm wirkenden zweiten Hebelarm 52 des Sperrglieds 11 zusammen. Will man den Schließkopf 20 entkuppeln, so muss der Betätiger 14 wirksam gesetzt werden.An anti-theft alarm system can be in the folded position of the rear window 30 be effective. The. The anti-theft alarm system can be queried via a Microswitch 70 take place, the switching actuation of a by a spring 72 or the like. Actuable switch button 71 takes place. This microswitch 70 cooperates the second lever arm 52 of the locking member 11, which acts as an actuating arm together. If you want to decouple the closing head 20, the actuator 14 must be put into effect.

Der Betätiger 14 für das Rückstellglied 13 besteht aus einem Aktuator, nämlich einem vorzugsweise elektrisch antreibbaren Motor 18 mit einer Schnecke 17, die mit dem Schneckenrad 16 vom Rückstellglied 13 in Eingriff steht. Zum Betätiger 14 gehört noch ein in den elektrischen Stromkreis des Motors 18 geschalteter Betätigungsschalter mit einer geeigneten Steuerelektronik. Wenn der Motor 18 eingeschaltet wird, wird das Schneckenrad 16 über die Schnecke um einen Winkelbetrag gegen die Federbelastung 63 der auf das Schneckenrad 16 wirkenden Schneckenradfeder 67 verdreht. Diese Drehbewegung ist in Fig. 4 durch den Drehpfeil 68 veranschaulicht. In der Enddrehlage des Schneckenrads 16 kommt der Steuerzapfen 15 in die strichpunktiert in Fig. 4 veranschaulichte Drehlage 15'. Durch die Mitnahme des Stellarms 52 wird das Sperrglied 11 im Sinne des Pfeils 57' von Fig. 4, gegen die wirkende Federkraft 54 zurückgeschwenkt. Das Sperrglied 11 erreicht dadurch die Freigabeposition von Fig. 4. Bei der Rückschwenkbewegung 57' des Arbeitsarms 51 gelangt die dortige Aussparung 61 wieder in axiale Ausrichtung mit dem am Fühlglied 12 sitzenden Nocken 62, weshalb diese Elemente 61, 62 miteinander in Eingriff kommen, wie es Fig. l und Fig. 4 zeigen. Der Eingriff des Nockens 62 in die Aussparung 61 erfolgt schnäpperartig; das Fühlglied 12 wird im Sinne des Pfeils 60' von Fig. l durch seine Federbelastung 63 rückgeschwenkt. Damit hat das Fühlglied 12 die Arretierung des Sperrglieds 11 in dessen Freigabeposition wirksamgesetzt. Der Schließkopf 20 kann im Sinne des Pfeils 32' von Fig. 6 entkuppelt werden. The actuator 14 for the reset member 13 consists of an actuator, namely a preferably electrically driven motor 18 with a worm 17, which with the worm wheel 16 is engaged by the reset member 13. To actuator 14 another one is connected to the electrical circuit of the motor 18 Actuation switch with suitable control electronics. If the engine 18 is turned on, the worm wheel 16 over the worm by one Angular amount against the spring load 63 acting on the worm wheel 16 Worm gear spring 67 twisted. This rotary movement is in Fig. 4 by the Arrow 68 illustrates. In the final rotational position of the worm wheel 16 comes Control pin 15 in the rotary position 15 'shown in phantom in FIG. 4. By taking the actuating arm 52 becomes the locking member 11 in the direction of arrow 57 'of Fig. 4, pivoted back against the acting spring force 54. The locking member 11 thereby reaches the release position of FIG. 4. With the pivoting back movement 57 ' of the working arm 51, the recess 61 there returns to the axial orientation with the cam 62 seated on the sensing element 12, which is why these elements 61, 62 come into engagement with one another, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. The intervention of the Cam 62 in the recess 61 is like a snap; the sensing element 12 is in L pivoted back by arrow 60 'of Fig. L by its spring loading 63. In order to the sensing member 12 has the locking of the locking member 11 in its release position effective set. The closing head 20 can be in the direction of the arrow 32 'of FIG. 6 be uncoupled.

Sobald der Steuerzapfen seine Drehendlage 15' erreicht hat, wird der Betätiger 14 abgeschaltet. Dies kann selbsttätig durch die Steuerautomatik geschehen. Der Motor 18 wird nicht mehr bestromt. Dann reicht die von der Schneckenradfeder 67 im Sinne des Pfeils 69 von Fig. 4 ausgeübte Drehrückstellkraft aus, um das Schneckenrad 16 wieder in seine Ausgangsdrehlage zu überführen, wo sich der Steuerzapfen in der ausgezogen in Fig. 4 gezeichneten Lage 15 befindet. Der bestehende Eingriff zwischen dem Schneckenrad 16 und der Schnecke 17 kann diese Drehrückstellbewegung 68' nicht verhindern; der Eingriff zwischen 16, 17 ist nicht selbsthemmend.As soon as the control pin has reached its rotational end position 15 ', the actuator 14 off. This can be done automatically by the automatic control system. The motor 18 is no longer energized. Then that extends from the worm gear spring 67 in the sense of the arrow 69 of FIG. 4 exerts a rotational restoring force around the worm wheel 16 to return to its initial rotational position, where the control pin is in the drawn drawn in Fig. 4 layer 15. The existing intervention between the worm wheel 16 and the worm 17, this can Do not prevent the rotary reset movement 68 '; the engagement between 16, 17 is not self-locking.

Ausweislich der Fig. 1 und 4 besitzt das Fühlglied 12 einen Durchbruch 73 in welchen der Schließkopf 20 mit seinem Vorderende 21 teilweise eingreift. Der Durchbruch 73 besteht im vorliegenden Fall aus einem Langloch, dessen aus Fig. 3 ersichtliche große Lochachse 74 zweckmäßigerweise mit der Ebene der Klappbewegung 31 (siehe Fig. 6) der Scheibe 30 ausgerichtet ist. Diese Klappbewegungsebene ist in Fig. 3 mit der Schnittlinie II - II identisch. Beim Einkuppeln fährt der Schließkopf 20 mit einer aus Fig. 6 ersichtlichen Teilhöhe 75 seines konischen Vorderabschnitts 21 ein, wie aus Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist. Die Eintauchtiefe ist durch die Konizität des Vorderabschnitts 21 und durch die aus Fig. 3 erkennbare kleine Lochbreite 76 des Durchbruchs 73 bestimmt. Durch das aus Fig. 5 und 6 ersichtliche Eintauchen des Schließkopfs 20 im Durchbruch 73 lässt sich die Bauhöhe vom Schlossgehäuse 10, 49 reduzieren. Die erwähnte Orientierung der großen Lochachse 74 trägt dabei der Krümmung der aus Fig. 6 ersichtlichen Klappbewegung 31 vom an der Scheibe 30 befestigten Schließkopfs 20 Rechnung; sein Vorderende 21 kann in der letzten, mit dem Fühlglied 12 in Berührung tretenden Einkupplungs-Phase sich im Langloch 73 radial verschieben. Weil in der gleichen Ebene der Klappbewegung auch die vorerwähnte Schwenkbewegung 60, 60' des Fühlglieds 12 vollzieht, ist mit dem Langloch 73 auch die beim Verschwenken 60, 60' sich ergebende entsprechende radiale Verschiebung zwischen dem Fühlglied 12 und dem Schließkopf-Vorderende 21 berücksichtigt. 1 and 4, the sensing element 12 has an opening 73 in which the closing head 20 partially engages with its front end 21. The Breakthrough 73 in the present case consists of an elongated hole, the one from FIG. 3 apparent large hole axis 74 expediently with the level of Folding movement 31 (see Fig. 6) of the disc 30 is aligned. This 3 is identical to the section line II - II. At the The closing head 20 engages with a partial height 75 shown in FIG. 6 its conical front section 21, as can be seen from FIG. 6. The Immersion depth is determined by the conicity of the front section 21 and by the from FIG. 3 recognizable small hole width 76 of the opening 73 determined. By the from Fig. 5 and 6 visible immersion of the closing head 20 in the opening 73 Reduce the overall height of the lock housing 10, 49. The aforementioned orientation of the The large hole axis 74 bears the curvature of those shown in FIG. 6 Folding movement 31 from the closing head 20 attached to the disk 30; its front end 21 can be in the last one, which comes into contact with the sensing element 12 Coupling phase shift radially in slot 73. Because in the same Level of the folding movement also the aforementioned pivoting movement 60, 60 'of Completes sensing element 12, is with the elongated hole 73 also when pivoting 60, 60 ' resulting corresponding radial displacement between the sensing member 12 and the closing head front end 21 is taken into account.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich schließlich dadurch aus, dass die Zuklapplage der.
