Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schlossanordnung, insbesondere für Fahrzeugtüren oder Fahrzeugklappen, bevorzugt für eine Heckklappe. Die Schlossanordnung der betreffenden Art weist ein Schlossgehäuse auf, an dem eine Drehfalle drehbar gelagert ist, die zumindest zwischen einer Offenstellung und einer Hauptraststellung bewegbar ist. Ferner weist die Schlossanordnung eine an dem Schlossgehäuse schwenkbar gelagerte Sperrklinke auf, die zwischen einer mit der Drehfalle in Eingriff stehenden Sperrstellung und einer Freigabestellung bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a lock arrangement, in particular for vehicle doors or vehicle doors, preferably for a tailgate. The lock assembly of the type in question has a lock housing on which a rotary latch is rotatably mounted, which is movable at least between an open position and a main latching position. Further, the lock assembly on a pivotally mounted on the lock housing pawl which is movable between a locking position in engagement with the locking position and a release position.

Eine Schlossanordnung der eingangs bezeichneten Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2013 113 384 A1 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Schlossanordnung wird die Sperrklinke mit Hilfe eines Steuerungselements, welches ein Zahnrad umfasst und mit einem motorischen Antrieb in Antriebsverbindung steht, aus der Sperrstellung in Richtung der Freigabestellung bewegt, um die Drehfalle zum Öffnen der Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe freizugeben. Das Steuerungselement wird von dem motorischen Antrieb bewegt, wobei der Antrieb nach Öffnung der Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe auch dafür sorgt, dass das Steuerungselement für einen neuen Öffnungsvorgang wieder in seine Ausgangsstellung zurückbewegt wird. Beim Schließvorgang sorgt ein in das Maul der Drehfalle einfallender Schließbolzen dafür, dass die Drehfalle aus ihrer Offenstellung in ihre Hauptraststellung gedreht wird, wobei bei dieser Drehbewegung die Drehfalle mit der Sperrklinke in Eingriff gelangt. In der Hauptraststellung der Drehfalle ist dann eine Bewegung der Drehfalle in ihre Offenstellung erst dann wieder möglich, wenn die Sperrklinke aus ihrer Sperrstellung in ihre Freigabestellung bewegt wird, was durch das vorstehend beschriebene Steuerungselement realisiert wird. In der Hauptraststellung der Drehfalle kann sich aber die Drehfalle in eine über die Hauptraststellung hinausgehende Überhubstellung drehen, wodurch ein Spiel zu der Sperrklinke erzeugt wird und sich die Drehfalle relativ zu dem Schließbolzen bewegen kann, was ein für den Benutzer wahrnehmbares Klappergeräusch bewirkt. Insbesondere bei Schlossanordnungen, die bei flach eingebauten Heckklappen verwendet werden, sind die Dichtungskräfte gering, wodurch nur eine sehr geringe bis gar keine Spannung auf die Schlossanordnung von Drehfalle und Sperrklinke wirkt, wodurch es der Drehfalle möglich ist, in die vorstehend beschriebene Überhubstellung zu drehen, was zu dem beschriebenen sowie unerwünschten Klappergeräusch führt. Aus diesem Grund ist aus dem Stand der Technik eine Lösung bekannt, bei der das Maul der Drehfalle mit gummiartigen Puffern versehen ist, um ein unerwünschtes Klappergeräusch aufgrund der Relativbewegung zwischen Schließbolzen und Drehfalle zu reduzieren. Jedoch verschleißen solche Puffer recht stark und erhöhen darüber hinaus die aufzuwendende Kraft, die zum Schließen der Schlossanordnung aufgewandt werden muss.A lock assembly of the type described is, for example, from the DE 10 2013 113 384 A1 known. In this known lock arrangement, the pawl by means of a control element, which comprises a gear and is in driving connection with a motor drive, moved from the blocking position in the direction of the release position to release the catch for opening the vehicle door or vehicle door. The control element is moved by the motor drive, wherein the drive after opening the vehicle door or vehicle door also ensures that the control element for a new opening operation is moved back to its original position. During the closing process, a locking bolt engaging in the jaw of the rotary latch ensures that the rotary latch is rotated from its open position into its main locking position, with the rotary latch engaging the locking pawl during this rotary movement. In the main locking position of the rotary latch, a movement of the rotary latch into its open position is then only possible again when the locking pawl is moved from its locking position into its release position, which is realized by the control element described above. In the main position of the catch, however, the catch in rotate over the main latching position overstroke position, whereby a game is generated to the pawl and the catch can move relative to the latch bolt, causing a perceivable rattling noise for the user. In particular, in lock assemblies that are used in flat-mounted tailgates, the sealing forces are low, whereby only a very little to no tension on the lock assembly of catch and pawl acts whereby the catch is possible to rotate in the above-described overstroke position, which leads to the described as well as unwanted rattle noise. For this reason, known from the prior art, a solution in which the mouth of the rotary latch is provided with rubber-like buffers to reduce unwanted rattling noise due to the relative movement between the locking pin and rotary latch. However, such bumpers wear quite heavily and moreover increase the force required to be used to close the lock assembly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, auf konstruktiv einfache Weise und kostengünstig eine Schlossanordnung zu entwickeln, bei welcher eine unerwünschte Geräuschentwicklung aufgrund einer Relativbewegung zwischen Drehfalle und Schließbolzen wirksam vermieden wird. Insbesondere soll eine Lösung geschaffen werden, durch die eine Drehbewegung der Drehfalle in eine Überhubstellung vermieden wird, nachdem die Drehfalle und die Sperrklinke bereits verrastet sind.The invention has for its object to develop a lock assembly in a structurally simple manner and cost, in which an undesirable noise due to a relative movement between the catch and latch bolt is effectively avoided. In particular, a solution is to be created by the rotational movement of the catch is avoided in an overstroke after the catch and the pawl are already locked.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass an dem Schlossgehäuse ein schwenkbar gelagerter Blockierhebel angeordnet ist, der zwischen einer Bereitschaftsstellung und einer Blockierstellung schwenkbar ist. Bevorzugt ist der Blockierhebel drehbar an dem Schlossgehäuse angeordnet. In der Bereitschaftsstellung ist der Blockierhebel ohne Eingriff mit der Drehfalle. Dies bedeutet bevorzugt, dass die Drehfalle um einen gesamten konstruktiv zugelassenen Drehwinkel drehbar ist, ohne dass die Drehfalle den in der Bereitschaftsstellung befindlichen Blockierhebel berührt. Der Blockierhebel ist von der Bereitschaftsstellung in eine Blockierstellung schwenkbar an dem Schlossgehäuse angeordnet. Nach Schwenken in die Blockierstellung ist eine Sperrfläche des Blockierhebels derart relativ zu der in Hauptraststellung befindlicher Drehfalle positioniert, dass der Blockierhebel zumindest dann mit einer Sperrgegenfläche der Drehfalle in Wirkverbindung tritt, wenn die Drehfalle sich in ihrer Hauptraststellung befindet und in dieser Konstellation zusätzlich ein zu einer Überhubstellung der Drehfalle wirkendes Drehmoment auf die Drehfalle wirkt. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Sperrfläche des Blockierhebels die Sperrgegenfläche der Drehfalle an einer Drehbewegung der Drehfalle über ihre Hauptraststellung hinaus in eine Überhubstellung hindert, indem sie die Drehfalle blockiert, ihr also im Wege steht. Wenigstens aber wird ein Drehen der Drehfalle über die Hauptraststellung von dem in Sperrposition befindlichen Blockierhebel weitgehend begrenzt.The object is achieved in that a pivotally mounted blocking lever is arranged on the lock housing, which is pivotable between a standby position and a blocking position. Preferably, the blocking lever is rotatably arranged on the lock housing. In the ready position, the blocking lever is without engagement with the rotary latch. This preferably means that the catch is rotatable about an entire constructively permitted angle of rotation, without the catch touching the lock lever in the ready position. The blocking lever is pivotally mounted from the standby position to a blocking position on the lock housing. After pivoting into the blocking position, a blocking surface of the blocking lever is positioned relative to the main catch position in the rotary latch, that the blocking lever at least then comes into operative connection with a locking counter surface of the rotary latch when the catch is in its main latching position and in this constellation in addition to a Over-stroke position of the rotary latch acting torque acts on the rotary latch. In particular, it can be provided that the blocking surface of the blocking lever prevents the locking counter surface of the rotary latch on a rotary movement of the rotary latch beyond its Hauptastaststellung addition into an overstroke position by blocking the catch, so it is in the way. At least, however, rotation of the rotary latch via the main latching position is largely limited by the latching lever in the blocking position.

Ferner ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass an dem Schlossgehäuse ein zumindest translatorisch geführtes Auslöseglied angeordnet ist, das zumindest zwischen einer Nichtauslösestellung und einer Auslösestellung bewegbar geführt ist, wobei ein über eine oder beide der genannten Positionen hinaus mögliches Führen nicht ausgeschlossen sein muss.Furthermore, the invention provides that an at least translationally guided release member is arranged on the lock housing, which is movably guided at least between a non-triggering position and a release position, wherein over one or both of said positions beyond possible leadership must not be excluded.

Der Blockierhebel ist zu seiner Blockierstellung hin federvorgespannt, er strebt also zumindest von seiner Bereitschaftsstellung aus in Richtung der Blockierstellung. Das Auslöseglied ist zu seiner Nichtauslösestellung hin vorgespannt, es strebt also zumindest von seiner Auslösestellung zu seiner Nichtauslösestellung. In seiner Nichtauslösestellung blockiert das Auslöseglied den Blockierhebel, sodass dieser daran gehindert ist, eine Schwenkbewegung aus der Bereitschaftsstellung in Richtung der Blockierstellung vorzunehmen.The blocking lever is spring biased towards its blocking position, so he seeks at least from its standby position in the direction of the blocking position. The trigger member is biased to its non-triggering position, so it strives at least from its triggering position to its non-triggering position. In its non-release position, the trigger member blocks the blocking lever, so that it is prevented from making a pivoting movement from the ready position in the direction of the blocking position.

Mit anderen Worten sind also Auslöseglied und Blockierhebel derart ausgeformt und relativ zueinander positioniert, dass der Blockierhebel in seiner Nichtauslösestellung, zu welcher hin er ja - sofern er nicht daran gehindert ist - strebt, dem Blockierhebel ein Hindernis bietet, mit welchem der Blockierhebel an der Bewegung in Richtung seiner Federvorspannung gehindert wird.In other words, so trigger member and locking lever are formed and positioned relative to each other that the blocking lever in its non-triggering position, to which he yes - if he is not hindered - strives, the blocking lever provides an obstacle, with which the blocking lever on the movement is prevented in the direction of its spring bias.

Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous and expedient refinements and developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Durch die Erfindung wird auf konstruktiv einfache Weise und kostengünstig eine Schlossanordnung bereitgestellt, welche sich durch einen einfachen Aufbau auszeichnet und dennoch wirksam eine Drehbewegung der Drehfalle aus ihrer Hauptraststellung in eine sogenannte Überhubstellung verhindert, wenn beziehungsweise nachdem die Sperrklinke in ihre Sperrstellung gelangt ist und der Blockierhebel nach Herbeiführung des Schließens seine Blockierstellung eingenommen hat. Dadurch, dass eine Drehbewegung der Drehfalle in eine über die Hauptraststellung hinausgehende Überhubstellung in der Folge unterbunden oder zumindest begrenzt ist, wird das aus der Praxis bekannte Problem des unerwünschten Klappergeräusches wirksam vermieden. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dabei durch eine rein mechanische Lösung aus, die im Unterschied zu bekannten Schlossanordnungen aus der Praxis ohne etwaige gummiartige und verschleißanfällige Pufferelemente auskommt. Dadurch, dass die Drehfalle aufgrund der Blockierung der Drehfalle durch den Blockierhebel - je nach Auslegung der Schlossanordnung - nicht oder allenfalls geringfügig in eine Überhubstellung gelangen kann, wird ferner der Vorteil erreicht, dass auch bei ruckartigem Schließen des Schlosses, etwa durch Zuwerfen einer Fahrzeugklappe, an welcher das Schloss angeordnet ist, ein harter Anschlag der Fahrzeugklappe beziehungsweise ihrer Dichtung vermieden wird.The invention provides a lock assembly in a structurally simple manner and cost, which is characterized by a simple structure and yet effective prevents rotation of the catch from its main latching position in a so-called overstroke position, if or after the pawl has reached its blocking position and the blocking lever has taken its blocking position after bringing about the closing. Characterized in that a rotational movement of the rotary latch is prevented or at least limited in a beyond the main latching position overstroke position in the sequence, the known from practice problem of unwanted rattling noise is effectively avoided. The invention is characterized by a purely mechanical solution, which manages in practice, unlike known lock arrangements without any rubbery and wear-prone buffer elements. Due to the fact that the catch due to the blocking of the catch by the blocking lever - depending on the design of the lock assembly - can not reach or at most slightly in an overstroke position, the advantage is further achieved that even with jerky closing of the lock, such as by throwing a vehicle door, at which the lock is arranged, a hard stop of the vehicle door or its seal is avoided.

Die Erfindung weist also den oben bereits ausführlich erläuterten Vorteil auf, dass durch Bereitstellung eines Blockierhebels ein Bewegen der Drehfalle in eine Überhubstellung durch den Blockierhebel verhindert wird. Dadurch, dass ein Auslöseglied und ein Blockierhebel in der erläuterten federvorgespannten Ausgestaltung zueinander orientiert an dem Schlossgehäuse angeordnet sind, ist zur Freigabe des Blockierhebels für das Vermeiden einer Bewegung der Drehfalle in eine Überhubstellung eine günstige und konstruktiv elegant umgesetzte Lösung bereitgestellt, mit der die Blockierung der Drehfalle zur Vermeidung der Einnahme einer Überhubstellung wirksam und in leicht an die entsprechend konkret vorliegenden Rahmenbedingungen, wie beispielsweise den zur Verfügung gestellten Raum, anpassbarer Weise umgesetzt wird.The invention thus has the advantage already explained in detail above that, by providing a blocking lever, a movement of the rotary catch into an overstroke position by the blocking lever is prevented. The fact that a trigger member and a locking lever in the illustrated spring-biased configuration are arranged oriented to each other on the lock housing is to release the locking lever for avoiding movement of the rotary latch in an overstroke position provided a favorable and structurally elegant solution, with the blocking of Rotary latch to avoid the assumption of an overstroke effectively and easily to the corresponding concretely present conditions, such as the space provided, customizable manner is implemented.

Das Auslöseglied ist bevorzugt einteilig ausgebildet, aber es ist auch nicht ausgeschlossen, dass mehrteilige Auslöseglieder genutzt werden.The trigger member is preferably formed in one piece, but it is also not excluded that multi-part release members are used.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Auslöseglied derart ausgebildet, dass bei einer Bewegung des Auslöseglieds entgegen einer Anlagekraft, welche das Auslöseglied in die Nichtauslösestellung vorspannt, bei Erreichen der Auslösestellung das Auslöseglied die Schwenkbewegung des Blockierhebels in die Blockierstellung freigibt. In dieser Ausführungsform wird die Sperrung des Blockierhebels durch das Auslöseglied also durch Bewegen des Auslöseglieds entgegen seiner Anlagekraft herbeigeführt.According to an advantageous embodiment, the trigger member is designed such that upon movement of the trigger member against a contact force which biases the trigger member in the non-triggering position, upon reaching the triggering position, the trigger member releases the pivotal movement of the blocking lever in the blocking position. In this embodiment, the blocking of the blocking lever by the trigger member is thus brought about by moving the trigger member against its contact force.

Um die Blockade des Blockierhebels durch das Auslöseglied aufzuheben, ist in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ein Gegenglied vorgesehen, welches an der Drehfalle angeordnet ist. Das Gegenglied ist derart an der Drehfalle positioniert, dass bei Drehen der Drehfalle in die Drehrichtung von Offenstellung in Hauptraststellung das Gegenglied mit einer endseitigen Anlagefläche des Auslöseglieds in Wirkverbindung tritt. Nach Eintreten der Wirkverbindung bewirkt das fortgesetzte Drehen der Drehfalle in Drehrichtung von Offenstellung in Hauptraststellung eine Mitnahme des Auslöseglieds entgegen seiner Anlagekraft in Richtung der Auslösestellung.In order to cancel the blockage of the blocking lever by the trigger member, a counter-member is provided in a preferred embodiment, which is arranged on the rotary latch. The counter-member is positioned on the rotary latch such that when the rotary latch is rotated in the direction of rotation from the open position to the main-latching position, the counter-member is operatively connected to an end-side contact surface of the triggering member. After the active compound occurs, the continued rotation of the Rotary catch in the direction of rotation of the open position in the main latching position entrainment of the trigger member against its contact force in the direction of the release position.

Besonders bevorzugt ist, wenn das Gegenglied als Bolzen ausgebildet ist und derart positioniert ist, dass die Mitnahme des Auslöseglieds erfolgt, indem der Bolzen das Auslöseglied entgegen seiner Anlagekraft drückt, entsprechend der Führung des Auslöseglieds durch ein Führungsmittel der Schlossanordnung. In einer elegant umsetzbaren Ausgestaltung ist der Bolzen parallel zu der Drehachse der Drehfalle orientiert. Ferner können Ausführungsformen vorgesehen sein, in denen das Gegenglied einstückig mit der Drehfalle ausgebildet ist, wodurch Fertigungskosten gespart werden können.It is particularly preferred if the counter-member is designed as a bolt and is positioned such that the entrainment of the trigger member takes place by the bolt pushes the trigger member against its contact force, according to the leadership of the trigger member by a guide means of the lock assembly. In an elegant embodiment, the bolt is oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary latch. Furthermore, embodiments may be provided in which the counterpart is formed integrally with the rotary latch, whereby manufacturing costs can be saved.

Eine bevorzugte konstruktive Lösung, welche die vorgesehene Vermeidung einer Bewegung des Blockierhebels zu seiner Blockierstellung umsetzt, sieht eine an dem Blockierhebel angeordnete beziehungsweise ausgeformte Halteausformung und einen an dem Auslöseglied angeordneten Haltefortsatz vor. Halteausformung und Haltefortsatz sind derart ausgeformt und relativ zueinander positioniert, dass die Halteausformung des Blockierhebels zumindest dann, wenn sich das Auslöseglied in seiner Nichtauslösestellung befindet, mit einer Haltefläche des Haltefortsatzes in Wirkverbindung steht. Durch die Wirkverbindung wird der Blockierhebel an einem Schwenken aus seiner Bereitschaftsstellung zu seiner Blockierstellung hin gehindert. Beispielsweise kann die Wirkverbindung als Blockade der Halteausformung durch die Haltefläche umgesetzt sein, infolge derer die Halteausformung, und mit dieser auch der Blockierhebel, an einem Drehen in dem Drehsinn von der Bereitschaftsstellung zu der Blockierstellung des Blockierhebels gehindert ist.A preferred constructional solution, which converts the intended avoidance of a movement of the blocking lever to its blocking position, provides a retaining formation arranged or formed on the blocking lever and a holding extension arranged on the triggering member. Halteausformung and holding extension are formed and positioned relative to each other, that the retaining shape of the blocking lever, at least when the trigger member is in its non-triggering position, is in operative connection with a holding surface of the holding extension. By the operative connection of the blocking lever is prevented from pivoting from its standby position to its blocking position. For example, the operative connection may be implemented as a blockage of the holding formation by the holding surface, as a result of which the holding formation, and with this also the blocking lever, is prevented from rotating in the direction of rotation from the ready position to the blocking position of the blocking lever.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Haltefortsatz entlang eines Abschnitts seiner Längserstreckung stellenweise verjüngt. Die Verjüngung ist parallel zu der Blockierhebelschwenkachse des Blockierhebels vorgesehen und umfasst einen Abschnitt des Haltefortsatzes, der sich in der Auslösestellung an die Position der Haltefläche in der Nichtauslösestellung bewegt. Dadurch wird bei Bewegen des Auslöseglieds in die Auslösestellung die Wirkverbindung zwischen Halteausformung und Haltefortsatz aufgelöst. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Halteausformung in zur Blockierhebelschwenkachse paralleler Richtung derart dimensioniert ist, dass die Halteausformung in dem verjüngten Bereich des Haltefortsatzes an diesem vorbeigleiten kann. Die Blockade der Halteausformung und dadurch des Blockierhebels ist somit aufgehoben und ein Schwenken des Blockierhebels in seine Blockierstellung freigegeben. Die Verjüngung des Haltefortsatzes ist bevorzugt so dimensioniert, dass die Wirkverbindung zwischen der Halteausformung und dem Haltefortsatz bei Erreichen der Auslösestellung durch das Auslöseglied aufgelöst wird.According to a preferred embodiment, the holding extension is locally tapered along a portion of its longitudinal extent. The rejuvenation is parallel to the Blocking lever pivot axis of the blocking lever provided and includes a portion of the holding extension, which moves in the release position to the position of the holding surface in the non-release position. As a result, when the release member is moved into the release position, the operative connection between the retaining formation and the retaining extension is released. It is preferably provided that the holding formation is dimensioned in a direction parallel to the blocking lever pivot axis such that the holding formation can slide past it in the tapered region of the holding extension. The blockage of Halteausformung and thereby the blocking lever is thus canceled and released pivoting of the blocking lever in its blocking position. The taper of the holding extension is preferably dimensioned such that the operative connection between the holding formation and the holding extension is resolved upon reaching the release position by the trigger member.

Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Einwirkung der Drehfalle über das Auslöseglied derart angepasst ist, dass das Auslöseglied die Auslösestellung erreicht in einer Stellung, in der die Drehfalle über die Hauptraststellung hinaus eine Überhubstellung einnimmt. Mit anderen Worten führt erst ein erstmaliges Überdrehen der Drehfalle über die Hauptraststellung hinaus in einer Überhubstellung dazu, dass (beispielsweise mittels des Gegenglieds) das Auslöseglied bis zu seiner Auslösestellung gedrückt ist.It is preferably provided that the action of the rotary latch on the trigger member is adapted such that the trigger member reaches the triggering position in a position in which the rotary latch assumes an overstroke position beyond the main latching position. In other words, only a first over-rotation of the rotary latch beyond the main latching position in an overstroke position results in (for example by means of the counter-member) the triggering member being pressed up to its release position.

In einer Weiterbildung sind die Drehfalle und Blockierhebel derart ausgeformt und zueinander positioniert, dass der Blockierhebel, der aufgrund der Federvorspannung bei in Überhubstellung befindlicher Drehfalle in Richtung Blockierstellung schwenkt, sich vor Erreichen seiner Blockierstellung auf einer Mantelfläche der noch in der Überhubstellung befindlichen Drehfalle ablegt. Erst nach Zurückdrehen der Drehfalle in die Hautraststellung tritt der Blockierhebel in eine Ausnehmung der Drehfalle ein und nimmt seine Blockierstellung ein. Von dem Moment der Einnahme der Blockierstellung durch den Blockierhebel ist eine erneute Bewegung der Drehfalle in eine Überhubstellung infolge der Wirkverbindung zwischen Sperrfläche und Sperrgegenfläche unterbunden oder zumindest begrenzt. Eine Bewegung der Drehfalle ist somit fortan in beide möglichen Drehrichtungen gesperrt. Durch das Ablegen des Blockierhebels auf einer Mantelfläche der Drehfalle wird erreicht, dass eine Beschädigung des Blockierhebels bei zu frühem Einfall des Blockierhebels in die Ausnahme der Drehfalle vermieden wird. Dadurch, dass der Blockierhebel erst bei einem Zurückdrehen der Drehfalle in Richtung ihrer Hauptraststellung in die Ausnahme der Drehfalle eintritt und dort seine Blockierstellung einnimmt, wird die Übertragung von Kraftspitzen auf mit der Drehfalle verbundene mechanische Komponenten, wie beispielsweise auf einen mit der Drehfalle gekoppelten Seilzugaktuator, vermieden oder reduziert.In a further development, the catch and blocking lever are formed and positioned relative to each other, that the blocking lever pivots in the blocking position due to the spring bias when in overstroke rotary latch in the direction blocking position stores before reaching its blocking position on a lateral surface of the still located in the over-stroke rotary latch. Only after turning back the catch in the skin-locking position, the blocking lever enters a recess of the catch and takes his blocking position. From the moment of taking the blocking position by the blocking lever a renewed movement of the rotary latch is prevented in an overstroke position due to the operative connection between locking surface and barrier counter-surface or at least limited. A movement of the catch is thus blocked in both possible directions of rotation. By placing the locking lever on a lateral surface of the rotary latch is achieved that damage to the locking lever is avoided in too early incidence of the locking lever in the exception of the catch. Due to the fact that the blocking lever only enters the exception of the rotary latch when the rotary latch is turned back in the direction of its main latching position and assumes its blocking position there, the transmission of force peaks to mechanical components connected to the rotary latch, such as, for example, to a cable pull actuator coupled to the rotary latch, avoided or reduced.

Um die Rückbewegung des Blockierhebels aus seiner Blockierstellung heraus ohne zusätzliche Bauteile bewerkstelligen zu können, ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ein sich radial von der Drehachse der Drehfalle erstreckendes Anschlagelement an der Drehfalle angeordnet. Anschlagelement und Blockierhebel sind derart aneinander angepasst ausgeformt und relativ zueinander positioniert, dass bei Drehen der Drehfalle von der Hauptraststellung in die Offenstellung das Anschlagelement den Blockierhebel in Richtung seiner Bereitschaftsstellung drückt. Bevorzugt ist das Anschlagelement einstückiger Bestandteil der Drehfalle, wodurch reduzierte Herstellungskosten und vorteilhafte mechanische Stabilität der Drehfalle erreicht werden können.In order to accomplish the return movement of the blocking lever from its blocking position without additional components, according to an advantageous embodiment, a radially extending from the axis of rotation of the rotary latch stop element is arranged on the rotary latch. Stop element and locking lever are formed so adapted to each other and positioned relative to each other, that upon rotation of the catch from the main latching position into the open position, the stop element presses the blocking lever in the direction of its ready position. Preferably, the stop element is an integral part of the rotary latch, whereby reduced manufacturing costs and advantageous mechanical stability of the rotary latch can be achieved.

Für eine platzsparende Ausgestaltung der Schlossanordnung ist zur Führung des Auslöseglieds an dem Schlossgehäuse bevorzugt ein Führungselement angeordnet, welches die Blockierhebelschwenkachse rotationssymmetrisch umfasst. Um translatorisch von dem Führungselement geführt zu werden, kann das Auslöseglied ein Langloch und/oder eine Langnut mit geradliniger Mittelachse aufweisen, die mit dem Führungselement gekoppelt sind und von diesem geführt werden.For a space-saving design of the lock assembly, a guide element is preferably arranged to guide the trigger member on the lock housing, which comprises the blocking lever pivot axis rotationally symmetrical. To be translationally guided by the guide element, can the trigger member having a slot and / or a long groove with rectilinear central axis which are coupled to the guide element and are guided by this.

Bevorzugt wird das Auslöseglied translatorisch geführt, um einen möglichst kompakten Aufbau der Schlossanordnung zu gewährleisten. Es kann aber auch eine zusätzliche rotatorische Bewegungskomponente vorgesehen sein.Preferably, the trigger member is translationally guided to ensure the most compact design of the lock assembly. But it can also be provided an additional rotational movement component.

Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen. Der Rahmen der Erfindung ist nur durch die Ansprüche definiert.It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained can be used not only in the respectively indicated combination but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung, in der ein beispielhaftes bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt ist.Further details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawing, in which an exemplary preferred embodiment of the invention is shown.

Es zeigen:

  • Figs. 1 bis 8: eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform der oben bereits erläuterten Variante der erfindungsgemäßen Schlossanordnung in verschiedenen Stadien einer Bewegungsfolge.
Show it:
  • Figs. 1 to 8 : An exemplary embodiment of the already explained above variant of the lock assembly according to the invention in different stages of a sequence of movements.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Schlossanordnung 1 dargestellt. Es ist ein Schlossgehäuse 2 dargestellt, aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit jedoch nur teilweise. An dem Schlossgehäuse 2 ist eine drehbar gelagerte Drehfalle 4 angeordnet, die in Drehrichtung R federvorgespannt ist. Ferner ist eine schwenkbar gelagerte Sperrklinke 5 an dem Schlossgehäuse angeordnet. In der Darstellung der Fig. 1 ist die Drehfalle 4 kurz vor Erreichen ihrer Hauptraststellung gezeigt, welche durch entsprechend geringfügiges Weiterdrehen der Drehfalle 4 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn (bezogen auf die Papierebene der gezeigten Darstellung) erreichbar ist. Die Sperrklinke 5 befindet sich noch in ihrer Freigabestellung und wird aufgrund einer entsprechenden Federvorspannung mit ihrer Anlagefläche gegen eine Mantelfläche der Drehfalle 3 gedrückt. An dem Schlossgehäuse 2 ist außerdem ein Blockierhebel 7 angeordnet, der drehbar gelagert ist und dessen als Drehachse ausgebildete Blockierhebelschwenkachse 6 mit der Rotationsachse des Führungselements 17 identisch ist. Der Blockierhebel 7 befindet sich in einer seiner beiden Extremstellungen, nämlich in der sogenannten Bereitschaftsstellung. In der Bereitschaftsstellung ist der Blockierhebel 7 weitestmöglich von der Drehfalle 4 entfernt und es findet keine Wechselwirkung mit der Drehfalle 4 statt. Der Blockierhebel ist federvorgespannt, eine Drehbewegung in Richtung des Pfeils F vorzunehmen. Eine Bewegung des Blockierhebels in Richtung des Pfeils F ist jedoch durch ein Auslöseglied 10 verhindert, welches durch mechanische Blockade die Bewegung des Blockierhebels 7 in Richtung seiner Blockierstellung verhindert.In Fig. 1 an embodiment of the lock assembly 1 according to the invention is shown. It is a lock housing 2 shown, for reasons of clarity, however, only partially. On the lock housing 2, a rotatably mounted rotary latch 4 is arranged, which is spring-biased in the direction of rotation R. Further, a pivotally mounted pawl 5 is arranged on the lock housing. In the presentation of the Fig. 1 the rotary latch 4 is shown shortly before reaching its main locking position, which can be reached by correspondingly slight further rotation of the rotary latch 4 counterclockwise (based on the paper plane of the illustration shown). The pawl 5 is still in its release position and is due to a corresponding preload with their Bearing surface pressed against a lateral surface of the rotary latch 3. On the lock housing 2, a blocking lever 7 is also arranged, which is rotatably mounted and whose locking lever pivot axis 6 designed as a rotation axis with the axis of rotation of the guide member 17 is identical. The blocking lever 7 is located in one of its two extreme positions, namely in the so-called readiness position. In the standby position, the blocking lever 7 is removed as far as possible from the rotary latch 4 and there is no interaction with the rotary latch 4. The blocking lever is spring biased to make a rotational movement in the direction of the arrow F. However, a movement of the blocking lever in the direction of the arrow F is prevented by a trigger member 10, which prevents the movement of the blocking lever 7 in the direction of its blocking position by mechanical blockade.

Das erwähnte Auslöseglied 10 ist ebenfalls an dem Schlossgehäuse 2 angeordnet. Hierzu weist das Auslöseglied 10 ein Langloch 18 auf, welches von einem als Bolzen ausgebildeten Führungselement 17 translatorisch geführt ist, also wenigstens translatorisch beweglich ist. Das Auslöseglied 10 befindet sich in der gezeigten Darstellung in einer seiner beiden möglichen Endpositionen, die in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit der Nichtauslösestellung aufeinanderfällt. Das Auslöseglied ist zu einer Bewegung von seiner Auslösestellung aus in Richtung der Nichtauslösestellung federvorgespannt. Die Richtung der Federvorspannung ist durch den Pfeil K dargestellt. In seiner Nichtauslösestellung ist ein endseitig an dem Auslöseglied 10 angeordneter Haltfortsatz 15 derart positioniert, dass eine Haltefläche 14 des Haltefortsatzes 15 eine Bewegung des Blockierhebels 7 in Richtung seiner Vorspannungskraft verhindert ist, indem die Haltefläche 14 die Bewegung der Halteausformung 13 des Blockierhebels 7 sperrt. Prinzipiell ist der Haltefortsatz 15 an jeder beliebigen Position des Blockierhebels 7 positionierbar; wesentlich ist dabei, dass eine dahingehende Wirkverbindung vorliegt, dass ein Bewegen des Blockierhebels 7 in Richtung seiner Blockierstellung verhindert wird, solange sie nicht mittels Bewegen des Auslöseglieds 10 zu seiner Auslöseposition hin freigegeben wird.The aforementioned trigger member 10 is also arranged on the lock housing 2. For this purpose, the trigger member 10 has a slot 18 which is guided in translation by a guide element 17 designed as a bolt, that is, at least translationally movable. The trigger member 10 is located in the illustration shown in one of its two possible end positions, which coincides in the illustrated embodiment with the non-triggering position. The trigger member is spring-biased to move from its trip position towards the non-trip position. The direction of the spring preload is shown by the arrow K. In its non-release position, a holding extension 15 arranged on the trigger member 10 is positioned such that a holding surface 14 of the holding extension 15 prevents movement of the blocking lever 7 in the direction of its biasing force by the holding surface 14 blocking the movement of the holding formation 13 of the blocking lever 7. In principle, the holding extension 15 can be positioned at any position of the blocking lever 7; It is essential that a pertinent Operational connection is present that a movement of the blocking lever 7 is prevented in the direction of its blocking position, as long as it is not released by moving the trigger member 10 to its release position.

In Fig. 2 ist in einer Detaildarstellung der Situation aus Fig. 1 illustriert, wie durch geeignete Ausgestaltung des Auslöseglieds 10 die Bewegung des Blockierhebels 7 in Richtung seiner Blockierstellung verhindert wird. In der Darstellung der Fig. 2 wird unter anderem auf die Darstellung des Schlossgehäuses 2 verzichtet. Die Perspektive der Fig. 2 entspricht einer Betrachtung der Rückseite der Darstellung der Fig. 1. Es ist die Halteausformung 13 zu erkennen, die sich radial von der Drehachse 6 des Blockierhebels 7 erstreckt, wobei die Halteausformung 13 und die Sperrfläche 8 an zwei voneinander entfernten Enden des Blockierhebels 7 positioniert sind. Ferner ist ein Haltefortsatz 15 entnehmbar, der sich in einer zur Blockierhebelschwenkachse 6 parallelen Richtung zu einer Lageebene des Blockierhebels hin gerichtet erstreckt und dadurch eine Haltefläche 14 bereitstellt. Die Haltefläche 14 ist mit der Halteausformung 13 des Blockierhebels derart abgestimmt ausgeformt und relativ zueinander positioniert, dass zumindest dann, wenn das Auslöseglied 10 sich in seiner Nichtauslösestellung befindet, eine Wirkverbindung zwischen Halteausformung 13 und Haltefläche 14 besteht, welche ein Einschwenken des Blockierhebels 7 zu seiner Blockierstellung hin verhindert.In Fig. 2 is in a detailed presentation of the situation Fig. 1 illustrates how by suitable design of the trigger member 10, the movement of the blocking lever 7 is prevented in the direction of its blocking position. In the presentation of the Fig. 2 is omitted, inter alia, on the presentation of the lock housing 2. The perspective of Fig. 2 corresponds to a consideration of the back of the representation of Fig. 1 , It can be seen holding the formation 13, which extends radially from the axis of rotation 6 of the blocking lever 7, wherein the holding formation 13 and the locking surface 8 are positioned at two mutually remote ends of the blocking lever 7. Further, a holding extension 15 can be removed, which extends in a direction parallel to the blocking lever pivot axis 6 direction to a position plane of the blocking lever out and thereby provides a holding surface 14. The holding surface 14 is formed with the holding Ausformung 13 of the blocking lever so coordinated and positioned relative to each other, that at least when the trigger member 10 is in its non-triggering position, an operative connection between Halteausformung 13 and support surface 14, which is a pivoting of the locking lever 7 to his Blocking position prevented.

Eine Bewegung des Blockierhebels 7 zu seiner Blockierstellung ist gehemmt, da die Haltefläche 14 des Haltefortsatzes 15 die Bewegung der Halteausformung 13 in die Drehrichtung blockiert, welche einer Bewegung des Blockierhebels 7 zu seiner Blockierstellung hin entspricht. Eine Drehbewegung des aufgrund seiner entsprechenden Federvorspannung eigentlich in Richtung der Blockierstellung strebenden Blockierhebels 7 zu seiner Blockierstellung hin wird somit verhindert.A movement of the blocking lever 7 to its blocking position is inhibited, since the holding surface 14 of the holding extension 15 blocks the movement of the holding formation 13 in the direction of rotation, which corresponds to a movement of the blocking lever 7 to its blocking position. A rotational movement of the due to its corresponding spring bias actually aspiring in the direction of the blocking position blocking lever 7 to its blocking position is thus prevented.

Fig. 3 unterscheidet sich von Fig. 1 dahingehend, dass die Drehfalle 4 gegenüber der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Position in Richtung ihrer Hauptraststellung bewegt wurde. Die in Fig. 3 abgebildete Darstellung entspricht dieser Hauptraststellung. In der Hauptraststellung ist die Sperrklinke 5 in eine Sperrausnehmung 19 der Drehfalle 4 eingetaucht. Eine Sperrfläche 20 der Sperrklinke 5 steht mit einer Sperrgegenfläche 21 der Drehfalle 4 in Wirkverbindung und verhindert ein Zurückdrehen der Drehfalle in Richtung ihrer Offenstellung. Bei Drehen der Drehfalle 4 in Richtung der Hauptraststellung ist ein als Bolzen ausgebildetes Gegenglied 11, das mit der Drehfalle 4 gekoppelt ist, in Wirkverbindung mit einer endseitigen Anlagefläche 12 des Auslöseglieds 10 getreten. Durch fortgesetztes Drehen der Drehfalle 4 in dem Drehsinn, in dem die Drehfalle auch von der Offenstellung herkommend die Hauptraststellung erreicht hat, wird das Auslöseglied 10 entgegen seiner in Richtung K weisenden Anlagekraft zu seiner Auslösestellung hin gedrückt und dadurch translatorisch bewegt. Fig. 3 differs from Fig. 1 in that the catch 4 is opposite to the one in FIG Fig. 3 shown position was moved in the direction of its main latching position. In the Fig. 3 The illustration shown corresponds to this main position. In the main locking position, the pawl 5 is immersed in a locking recess 19 of the rotary latch 4. A blocking surface 20 of the pawl 5 is connected to a locking counter surface 21 of the rotary latch 4 in operative connection and prevents turning back of the rotary latch in the direction of its open position. Upon rotation of the rotary latch 4 in the direction of the main latching position, a counter-member 11 designed as a bolt, which is coupled to the rotary latch 4, has come into operative connection with an end-side contact surface 12 of the triggering member 10. By continued rotation of the rotary latch 4 in the direction of rotation, in which the catch has also reached the main latching position from the open position, the trigger member 10 is pressed against its pointing in the direction K contact force to its release position and thereby moved translationally.

Wenn ausgehend von der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Hauptraststellung der Drehfalle 4 die Drehfalle 4 sich in der Drehrichtung von Offenstellung zu Hauptraststellung der Drehfalle 4 weiterbewegt, befindet sich die Drehfalle, wenn die Hauptraststellung der Drehfalle 4 überwunden ist, in einer sogenannten Überhubstellung, wie sie beispielsweise in Fig. 4 a dargestellt ist. Die Überhubstellung ist unter anderem dadurch charakterisierbar, dass die Sperrklinke 5 nicht mehr in Berührung mit der Sperrgegenfläche der Drehfalle 4 ist. Durch das Weiterdrehen der Drehfalle 4 über die Hauptraststellung hinaus in eine Überhubstellung wird das Auslöseglied weiter entgegen seiner in Richtung K wirkenden Vorspannkraft bewegt, bis das Auslöseglied 10 seine Auslösestellung infolge seiner translatorischen Bewegung erreicht. Die Auslösestellung ist in dem dargestellten Beispiel nicht mit einer Endposition bei Bewegung zwischen den beiden vorhandenen Enden des Langlochs 18 identisch. Wie Fig. 4b zu entnehmen ist, wird in der Auslösestellung ein Abschnitt des Haltefortsatzes 15 des Auslöseglieds 10 gegen die Vorspannkraft bewegt, welcher parallel zu der Blockierhebelschwenkachse 6 gegenüber dem die Haltefläche 14 aufweisenden Bereich verjüngt ist. Der verjüngte Bereich ist derart zu der Halteausformung relativ positioniert, dass die Halteausformung 13 nun an dem Haltefortsatz 15 vorbeigleiten kann. Eine Drehbewegung des Blockierhebels 7 in Richtung F infolge seiner Federvorspannung, also zu der Blockierstellung des Blockierhebels hin, ist sodann freigegeben. Aus der Darstellung der Fig. 4a geht hervor, dass die Drehfalle derart dimensioniert ist, dass, wenn der Bolzen 11 das Auslöseglied in die Auslösestellung drückt, der Blockierhebel 7 bei Schwenken in Richtung seiner Blockierstellung von einer Umfangsmantelfläche der Drehfalle 4 blockiert wird und der Blockierhebel sich zunächst auf der Mantelfläche der Drehfalle 4 ablegt.If starting from the in Fig. 3 The main catch position of the rotary latch 4 shown the catch 4 moves in the direction of rotation from the open position to the main latching position of the rotary latch 4, the catch is when the main latching position of the catch 4 is overcome, in a so-called overstroke position, such as in Fig. 4 a is shown. The overstroke position can be characterized, inter alia, by the fact that the pawl 5 is no longer in contact with the counter-locking surface of the rotary catch 4. As a result of the further rotation of the rotary latch 4 beyond the main latching position into an overstroke position, the triggering member is further moved counter to its biasing force acting in the direction K until the triggering member 10 reaches its triggering position as a result of its translatory movement. The release position is not in the illustrated example with an end position when moving between the two existing ends of the slot 18th identical. As Fig. 4b can be seen, a portion of the holding extension 15 of the trigger member 10 is moved in the release position against the biasing force, which is parallel to the blocking lever pivot axis 6 with respect to the support surface 14 having tapered region. The tapered region is positioned relative to the holding formation such that the holding formation 13 can now slide past the holding extension 15. A rotational movement of the blocking lever 7 in the direction of F due to its spring bias, ie to the blocking position of the blocking lever, is then released. From the representation of Fig. 4a shows that the rotary latch is dimensioned such that when the pin 11 pushes the trigger member in the release position, the blocking lever 7 is blocked when pivoting in the direction of its blocking position of a peripheral surface of the rotary latch 4 and the blocking lever is initially on the lateral surface of the rotary latch 4 stores.

Bei Zurückbewegen der Drehfalle 4 von der Überhubstellung zu ihrer Hauptraststellung, wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt, taucht der Blockierhebel 7 sodann in eine Ausnehmung der Drehfalle 4 ein, in welcher der Blockierhebel 7 seine Blockierstellung einnehmen kann und mit seiner Sperrfläche 8 in Wirkverbindung mit der Sperrgegenfläche 9 der Drehfalle 4 treten kann. In dieser Position blockiert die Sperrfläche 8 durch ihre Positionierung relativ zu der Sperrgegenfläche 9 eine erneute Drehbewegung der Drehfalle 4 über die Hauptraststellung hinaus in eine Überhubstellung. In der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Stellung ist somit eine Drehbewegung der Drehfalle 4 in beide möglichen Drehrichtungen unterbunden: Ein Drehen der Drehfalle 4 aus der Hauptraststellung zu der Offenstellung hin ist durch die in Blockierstellung befindliche Sperrklinke 5 unterbunden und ein Drehen der Drehfalle in eine Überhubstellung ist durch die bereitgestellte Sperrfläche 8 des Blockierhebels 7 verhindert, welche eine durch eine entsprechende Drehbewegung auswirkende Krafteinwirkung aufnimmt.Upon retraction of the rotary latch 4 from the overstroke position to its main latch position, as in Fig. 5 shown, the blocking lever 7 then immersed in a recess of the rotary latch 4, in which the blocking lever 7 can assume its blocking position and can enter with its blocking surface 8 in operative connection with the locking counter surface 9 of the rotary latch 4. In this position, the blocking surface 8 blocked by their positioning relative to the barrier counter-surface 9 a renewed rotational movement of the rotary latch 4 beyond the main latching position in an overstroke position. In the in Fig. 5 A rotation of the rotary latch 4 from the main latching position to the open position is prevented by the locking pawl 5 located in the blocking position and rotation of the rotary latch in an overstroke position is ensured by the blocking surface 8 provided the blocking lever 7 prevents which absorbs a force effecting a corresponding rotational movement.

Ein Öffnen des Schlosses mittels Drehens der Drehfalle zu einer Offenstellung hin ist erst wieder nach Ausschwenken der Sperrklinke 5 aus der Sperrausnehmung der Drehfalle 4 heraus, also nach Lösen der Verrastung, möglich. Das Lösen der Verrastung kann beispielsweise durch einen Aktuator oder mechanisch erfolgen, wobei der tatsächlich hierfür genutzte Mechanismus für die vorliegende Erfindung unwesentlich ist. Ähnliches gilt für das Drehen der Drehfalle, welches bevorzugt mit einem Aktuator herbeigeführt wird, aber auch anderweitig bewerkstelligt werden kann.Opening the lock by turning the catch to an open position is only after swinging out of the pawl 5 from the locking recess of the catch 4 out, so after releasing the locking, possible. The release of the locking can be done for example by an actuator or mechanically, the actual mechanism used for this purpose for the present invention is immaterial. The same applies to the rotation of the rotary latch, which is preferably brought about with an actuator, but can also be accomplished otherwise.

Bei Drehen der Drehfalle 4 aus der Hauptraststellung in Richtung ihrer Offenstellung wird der Blockierhebel 7 aufgrund einer geeigneten Ausformung der Drehfalle 4 wieder in Richtung seiner Bereitschaftsstellung bewegt. Um die hierfür erforderliche Krafteinwirkung entgegen der Vorspannkraft des Blockierhebels bereitzustellen, weist die Drehfalle 4 ein Anschlagelement 16 auf, das sich radial von der Drehachse 3 der Drehfalle ausgehend erstreckt. Die Positionierung und die Ausformung des Anschlagelements 16 ist unter Berücksichtigung der genauen geometrischen Ausgestaltung und Positionierung des Blockierhebels 7 derart gewählt, dass bei Drehen der Drehfalle aus der Hauptraststellung in die Richtung der Offenstellung das Anschlagelement 16 in Krafteinwirkung mit dem Blockierhebel 7 tritt und den Blockierhebel 7 bei hiernach fortgesetztem Drehen der Drehfalle 4 entgegen seiner Federvorspannung in die Richtung seiner Bereitschaftsstellung, bevorzugt bis zu der Bereitschaftsstellung hin, drückt.Upon rotation of the rotary latch 4 from the main latching position in the direction of its open position of the blocking lever 7 is moved due to a suitable shape of the rotary latch 4 again in the direction of its standby position. In order to provide the force required for this purpose against the biasing force of the blocking lever, the rotary latch 4 has a stop element 16 which extends radially from the axis of rotation 3 of the rotary latch. The positioning and the shape of the stopper member 16 is selected taking into account the exact geometric configuration and positioning of the blocking lever 7 such that upon rotation of the catch from the main latching position in the direction of the open position, the stopper member 16 enters into force with the blocking lever 7 and the blocking lever. 7 in this case continued rotation of the rotary latch 4 against its spring bias in the direction of its standby position, preferably up to the standby position, presses.

Um das Drücken des Blockierhebels 7 in seine Bereitschaftsstellung hin zu illustrieren, ist in Fig. 7 die selbe Stellung des erläuterten Bewegungsablaufs wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, jedoch für eine bessere Sichtbarkeit des Anschlagelements 16, des Blockierhebels 7 und des Drückens des Anschlagelements 16 gegen den Blockierhebel 7 ohne Darstellung des Auslöseglieds 10.In order to illustrate the pressing of the blocking lever 7 in its standby position, is in Fig. 7 the same position of the explained movement as in Fig. 6 shown, however, for better visibility of the stop member 16, the locking lever 7 and the pressing of the Stop element 16 against the blocking lever 7 without showing the trigger member 10th

In Fig. 8 ist dargestellt, dass in alternativer Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein kann, dass die Ausgestaltung und Anordnung von Drehfalle 4, Gegenglied 11, Auslöseglied 10 und Blockierhebel 7 auch derart aneinander angepasst sein kann, dass bei Erreichen der Hauptraststellung und unmittelbar vor Eintreten der Sperrklinke in die Sperrausnehmung bereits das Auslöseglied seine Auslösestellung erreicht hat und der Blockierhebel 7 seine Blockierstellung einnimmt.In Fig. 8 is shown that may be provided in an alternative embodiment, that the design and arrangement of rotary latch 4, counter member 11, trigger member 10 and blocking lever 7 can also be adapted to each other so that when reaching the main latching position and immediately before entering the pawl in the locking recess already the trigger member has reached its release position and the blocking lever 7 assumes its blocking position.
