In Figur 1 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug 1 in Form eines PKWs exemplarisch dargestellt, welches in dem Beispiel über vier Türen 2a (zwei davon sind in Figur 1 gezeigt) und eine Klappe bzw. Heckklappe 2b verfügt. Sowohl die Türen 2a als auch die Heckklappe 2b sind über jeweilige Kraftfahrzeugschlösser 3 verschließbar und können mit Hilfe einer in Figur 1 lediglich exemplarisch für die Türen 2a angedeuteten Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 entriegelt werden, indem ein Benutzer ein nach Art eines Handgriffs ausgebildetes Griffelement 5 der Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 betätigt.In Figure 1 a motor vehicle 1 in the form of a car is shown as an example, which in the example has four doors 2a (two of which are shown in FIG Figure 1 shown) and has a flap or tailgate 2b. Both the doors 2a and the tailgate 2b can be locked via respective motor vehicle locks 3 and can be closed with the aid of an in Figure 1 The motor vehicle handle arrangement 4 indicated only by way of example for the doors 2a can be unlocked by a user actuating a handle element 5 of the motor vehicle handle arrangement 4 designed in the manner of a handle.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht der Tür 2a, bei welcher das Griffelement 5 aus der Tür 2a hervorsteht. Bei dem Griffelement 5 handelt es sich um ein im unbetätigten Zustand strakbündig bzw. flächenbündig mit der Tür 2a verlaufendes Griffelement 5, welches folglich bei NichtBetätigung in der Tür 2a versenkt angeordnet ist. Die Figur 3 zeigt eine Rückansicht auf die Tür 2a, bei welcher ein Trägerelement 6 zu erkennen ist, welches innenseitig an der Tür 2a befestigt ist und an welchem bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel die Griffanordnung 4 gelagert ist.The Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the door 2a, in which the handle element 5 protrudes from the door 2a. The handle element 5 is a handle element 5 that runs flush with the door 2a in the unactuated state and is therefore sunk into the door 2a when it is not operated. The Figure 3 shows a rear view of the door 2a, in which a carrier element 6 can be seen which is fastened on the inside of the door 2a and on which the handle arrangement 4 is mounted in the embodiment shown.

In Figur 4 ist die Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dann in einer Perspektivansicht gezeigt. Die Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 umfasst einen drehbar gelagerten Griffhalter 7 und das von einem Benutzer betätigbare Griffelement 5, wobei der Griffhalter 7 ein erstes Längsende 7a aufweist, welches in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel über das Trägerelement 6 an der Tür 2a gelagert ist. Alternativ ist es auch denkbar, dass der Griffhalter 7 mit seinem ersten Längsende 7a direkt an der Tür drehbar gelagert ist.In Figure 4 the motor vehicle handle assembly 4 according to the present invention is then shown in a perspective view. The motor vehicle handle arrangement 4 comprises a rotatably mounted handle holder 7 and the handle element 5 that can be actuated by a user, the handle holder 7 having a first longitudinal end 7a which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is mounted on the door 2a via the carrier element 6. Alternatively it is it is also conceivable that the handle holder 7 is rotatably mounted directly on the door with its first longitudinal end 7a.

In Figur 5 ist die erfindungsgemäße Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 in einer perspektivischen Einzelteildarstellung gezeigt. Die Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 umfasst den mit seinem ersten Längsende 7a drehbar gelagerten Griffhalter 7 und das an einem zweiten Längsende 7b des Griffhalters 7 angebrachte Griffelement 5, das von einem Benutzer zur Öffnung der Tür 2a betätigbar ist, indem an dem Griffelement 5 gezogen wird. Der Griffhalter 7 ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit zwei hebelartigen und L-förmigen Schwingenarmen 7c und 7d ausgebildet. Denkbar sind auch alternative Ausgestaltungen mit nur einem Schwingenarm oder mit mehr als zwei Schwingenarmen. An jedem der freien, zweiten Längsenden 7b der Schwingenarme 7c, 7d ist jeweils eine Einsteckaufnahme 8 ausgeformt. Das Griffelement 5 weist zwei hervorstehende Befestigungszapfen 9 auf (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 12). Ein jeweiliger Befestigungszapfen 9 wird bei Montage in eine zugeordnete Einsteckaufnahme 8 eingesteckt und dort mit Hilfe eines jeweiligen Verbindungselements 10 fixiert, wie nachstehend noch genauer beschrieben wird. Wie aus Figur 5 ferner zu erkennen ist, ist das Griffelement 5 bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel mehrteilig ausgeführt und umfasst einen Handgriff 11 und eine Blende 12. Der Handgriff 11 ist kastenförmig ausgebildet und weist einen Aufnahmeraum 14 auf, in welchem beispielsweise elektronische Komponenten zur Erfassung der Annäherung einer Hand eines Benutzers untergebracht sein können. Dabei verschließt die deckelartig ausgebildete Blende 12 im zusammengebauten Zustand der Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 den zu einer Seite offenen Aufnahmeraum 14. Die beiden Befestigungszapfen 9 des Griffelements 5 sind erfindungsgemäß als jeweilige Einlegerteile 15 ausgebildet. Die Einlegerteile 15 sind an dem Handgriff 11 befestigt und abschnittsweise in dem Aufnahmeraum 14 angeordnet. Dabei erstreckt sich ein in eine Einsteckaufnahme 8 des Griffhalters 7 einsteckbarer Abschnitt eines jeweiligen Einlegerteils 15 durch eine korrespondierende Öffnung 16 (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 7) hindurch, die in dem Handgriff 11 ausgebildet ist.In Figure 5 the motor vehicle handle arrangement 4 according to the invention is shown in a perspective detail view. The motor vehicle handle arrangement 4 comprises the handle holder 7 rotatably mounted with its first longitudinal end 7a and the handle element 5 attached to a second longitudinal end 7b of the handle holder 7, which can be actuated by a user to open the door 2a by pulling on the handle element 5. The handle holder 7 is formed in the illustrated embodiment with two lever-like and L-shaped swing arms 7c and 7d. Alternative configurations with only one swing arm or with more than two swing arms are also conceivable. A plug-in receptacle 8 is formed on each of the free, second longitudinal ends 7b of the rocker arms 7c, 7d. The handle element 5 has two protruding fastening pins 9 (see for example Figure 12 ). A respective fastening pin 9 is inserted into an associated plug-in receptacle 8 during assembly and is fixed there with the aid of a respective connecting element 10, as will be described in more detail below. How out Figure 5 can also be seen, the handle element 5 is designed in several parts in the embodiment shown and comprises a handle 11 and a cover 12. The handle 11 is box-shaped and has a receiving space 14 in which, for example, electronic components for detecting the approach of a hand User can be accommodated. In the assembled state of the motor vehicle handle arrangement 4, the cover-like cover 12 closes the receiving space 14, which is open on one side. According to the invention, the two fastening pins 9 of the handle element 5 are designed as respective insert parts 15. The insert parts 15 are attached to the handle 11 and arranged in sections in the receiving space 14. A section of a respective insert part 15 that can be inserted into an insertion receptacle 8 of the handle holder 7 extends through a corresponding opening 16 (see for example FIG Figure 7 ) which is formed in the handle 11.

Mit Bezug auf die Figuren 7 bis 15 wird nachstehend der Zusammenbau der erfindungsgemäßen Kraftfahrzeug-Griffanordnung 4 und nähere Details der vorstehend bereits angesprochenen Bauteile beschrieben. In Figur 7 ist der Handgriff 11 mit seinen zwei Öffnungen 16 gezeigt, die an den jeweiligen Längsenden des Handgriffs 11 angeordnet sind. In eine jeweilige Öffnung 16 wird von der Innenseite des Handgriffs 11 ein zugeordnetes Einlegerteil 15 eingesteckt. Das Einlegerteil 15 weist einen länglich gestreckten Grundkörper 17 und eine an einem Längsende ausgebildete Abstützfläche 18 auf, die im Vergleich zu dem Grundkörper 17 umfangsmäßig verbreitert ausgebildet ist (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 8 und 9). Ein jeweiliges Einlegeteil 15 wird nun bei der Montage solange mit seinem Grundkörper 17 durch eine zugeordnete Öffnung 16 gesteckt, bis die Abstützfläche 18 auf dem Rand der entsprechenden Öffnung 16 aufliegt. Denn die Abstützfläche 18 ist größer bemessen als die Größe der Öffnung 16. Der Grundkörper 17 eines jeweiligen Einlegerteils 15 weist ferner eine Fixierungsfläche 19 auf, die der Abstützfläche 18 abgewandt ausgebildet ist. Beim durch die Öffnung 16 Stecken des Einlegerteils 15 greift ein elastisch bewegbarer Rasthaken 20 an der Fixierungsfläche 19 an. Der Rasthaken 20 ist jeweils an einer Öffnung 16 ausgebildet (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 7 und 10) und derart angeordnet, dass ein jeweiliger Rasthaken 20 die entsprechende Fixierungsfläche 19 eines zugeordneten Einlegerteils 15 hintergreift, wenn die Abstützfläche 18 auf dem Rand einer entsprechenden Öffnung 16 aufliegt. Dabei sind die Abstützfläche 18 und die Fixierungsfläche 19 in dem Aufnahmeraum 14 angeordnet. Der Rasthaken 20 ist mit einer schrägen Führungsfläche 20a (siehe Figur 7) ausgebildet, so dass der elastisch bewegbare Rasthaken 20 beim Einstecken des Einlegerteils 15 zunächst elastisch nachgibt und dann die Fixierungsfläche 19 hintergreift. Mit anderen Worten greift ein jeweiliger im Aufnahmeraum 14 des Handgriffs 11 ausgebildeter Rasthaken 20 an der Fixierungsfläche 19 an und drückt die jeweilige an dem Grundkörper 17 angeformte Abstützfläche 18 derart auf den Rand der Öffnung 16, dass das Einlegerteil 15 an dem Handgriff 11 lösbar fixiert ist, wie es in Figur 10 gezeigt ist. Für die komplexe Geometrie des jeweiligen Einlegerteils 15 ist es von Vorteil, wenn es aus Zamak bzw. aus einer Legierung für den Zinkdruckguss besteht.With reference to the Figures 7 to 15 the assembly of the motor vehicle handle arrangement 4 according to the invention and further details of the components already discussed above are described below. In Figure 7 the handle 11 is shown with its two openings 16 which are arranged at the respective longitudinal ends of the handle 11. An associated insert part 15 is inserted from the inside of the handle 11 into a respective opening 16. The insert part 15 has an elongated base body 17 and a support surface 18 which is formed at a longitudinal end and which is made wider than the base body 17 in terms of its circumference (see, for example, FIG Figures 8 and 9 ). A respective insert part 15 is now inserted with its base body 17 through an associated opening 16 during assembly until the support surface 18 rests on the edge of the corresponding opening 16. This is because the support surface 18 is dimensioned larger than the size of the opening 16. The base body 17 of a respective insert part 15 also has a fixing surface 19 which is designed to face away from the support surface 18. When the insert part 15 is inserted through the opening 16, an elastically movable latching hook 20 engages the fixing surface 19. The latching hook 20 is each formed on an opening 16 (see for example Figures 7 and 10 ) and arranged in such a way that a respective latching hook 20 engages behind the corresponding fixing surface 19 of an associated insert part 15 when the support surface 18 rests on the edge of a corresponding opening 16. The support surface 18 and the fixing surface 19 are arranged in the receiving space 14. The latching hook 20 is provided with an inclined guide surface 20a (see Figure 7 ) so that the elastically movable latching hook 20 initially yields elastically when the insert part 15 is inserted and then engages behind the fixing surface 19. In other words, a respective latching hook 20 formed in the receiving space 14 of the handle 11 engages the fixing surface 19 and presses the respective support surface 18 formed on the base body 17 onto the edge of the opening 16 in such a way that the insert part 15 is releasably fixed on the handle 11 as it is in Figure 10 shown is. For the complex geometry of the respective insert part 15, it is advantageous if it consists of zamak or an alloy for die-cast zinc.

In einem darauffolgenden Montageschritt, der in Figur 11 gezeigt ist, wird dann die deckelartige Blende 12 mit dem Handgriff 11 verbunden, indem die Blende 12 den Aufnahmeraum 14 überdeckend an dem Handgriff 11 angeordnet und mit diesem verschraubt wird. Damit ist das Griffelement 5 mit den beiden Befestigungszapfen 9 fertig gestellt und kann in einem nächsten Montageschritt mit dem Griffhalter 7 verbunden werden, was in den Figuren 12 und 13 gezeigt ist.In a subsequent assembly step, which takes place in Figure 11 is shown, the cover-like panel 12 is then connected to the handle 11, in that the panel 12 is arranged to cover the receiving space 14 on the handle 11 and screwed to it. The handle element 5 with the two fastening pins 9 is thus completed and can be connected to the handle holder 7 in a next assembly step, which is shown in the Figures 12 and 13 is shown.

In Figur 12 ist nochmals das zusammengebaute Griffelement 5 gezeigt, aus welchem die zwei Befestigungszapfen 9 hervorstehen. Die zwei Befestigungszapfen 9 werden in einem weiteren Schritt der Montage in die entsprechenden Einsteckaufnahmen 8 des Griffhalters 7 eingesteckt, was in Figur 13 dargestellt ist. Es sei erwähnt, dass der Griffhalter 7 zuvor innenseitig an der Tür 2a angeordnet ist und mit seinen beiden Schwingenarmen 7c, 7d durch entsprechende Durchbrüche in der Tür 2a ragt. Dabei ist der Griffhalter 7 mit seinem ersten Längsende 7a entweder direkt an der Tür 2a selbst oder über den an der Tür 2a befestigten Träger 6 schwenkbar gelagert. Um die Befestigungszapfen 9 in den Einsteckaufnahmen 8 zu sichern, sind zwei Verbindungselemente 10 vorgesehen, die in dem Ausführungsbeispiel als jeweilige Schrauben ausgeführt sind. Ein jeweiliges Verbindungselement 10 wird in eine Bohrung 21, die jeweils in einem Schwingenarm 7c, 7d ausgeformt ist, eingeschraubt. In den Figuren 14 und 15 sind für den zusammengebauten Zustand jeweilige Schnittansichten gezeigt, aus denen die nachstehend beschriebenen konstruktiven Details ersichtlich werden. In Figur 14 ist nochmals gut zu erkennen, wie der elastisch bewegbare Rasthaken 20 die Fixierungsfläche 19 des Einlegerteils 15 hintergreift. Ferner ist zu erkennen, wie der Schraubenkopf des Verbindungselements 10 in der Bohrung 21 versenkt angeordnet ist. Dabei ist das Verbindungselement 10 in dem Griffhalter 7 quer zu der Einsteckrichtung 22 (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 15) des Befestigungszapfens 9 eingeschraubt und erstreckt sich durch eine in dem jeweiligen Befestigungszapfen 9 ausgebildete Durchgangsöffnung 23 (siehe zum Beispiel Figuren 8 und 9) hindurch. Mit anderen Worten erstreckt sich das jeweilige Verbindungselement 10 quer zu der Einsteckrichtung 22 des in den Griffhalter 7 eingesteckt angeordneten Befestigungszapfens 9 und durch die Durchgangsöffnung 23 des Befestigungszapfens 9 hindurch, wobei das jeweilige Verbindungselement 10 den Griffhalter 7 und das Griffelement 5 lösbar und formschlüssig miteinander verbindet.In Figure 12 the assembled handle element 5 is shown again, from which the two fastening pins 9 protrude. The two fastening pins 9 are inserted into the corresponding plug-in receptacles 8 of the handle holder 7 in a further step of the assembly, which is shown in FIG Figure 13 is shown. It should be mentioned that the handle holder 7 is previously arranged on the inside of the door 2a and protrudes with its two swing arms 7c, 7d through corresponding openings in the door 2a. The handle holder 7 is pivotably mounted with its first longitudinal end 7a either directly on the door 2a itself or via the support 6 fastened to the door 2a. In order to secure the fastening pins 9 in the plug-in receptacles 8, two connecting elements 10 are provided, which in the exemplary embodiment are designed as respective screws. A respective connecting element 10 is screwed into a bore 21 which is each formed in a swing arm 7c, 7d. In the Figures 14 and 15 respective sectional views are shown for the assembled state, from which the structural details described below can be seen. In Figure 14 it can be clearly seen again how the elastically movable latching hook 20 engages behind the fixing surface 19 of the insert part 15. It can also be seen how the screw head of the connecting element 10 is arranged sunk in the bore 21. The connecting element 10 is in the handle holder 7 transversely to the insertion direction 22 (see for example Figure 15 ) of the fastening pin 9 is screwed in and extends through a through opening 23 formed in the respective fastening pin 9 (see for example Figures 8 and 9 ) through. In other words, the respective connection element 10 extends transversely to the insertion direction 22 of the fastening pin 9 inserted into the handle holder 7 and through the through opening 23 of the fastening pin 9, the respective connection element 10 connecting the handle holder 7 and the handle element 5 to one another in a detachable and form-fitting manner .

Für die Montage des Griffelements 5 an dem Griffhalter 7 ist darüber hinaus zu erwähnen, dass bei der Montage nach dem Einschub bzw. dem Einstecken der jeweiligen Befestigungszapfen 9 in Einsteckrichtung 22 und vor Verschraubung der Verbindungselemente 10 eine Querbewegung 24 zur Einsteckrichtung 22 erfolgt (siehe zum Beispiel Figur 15). Durch diese Querbewegung 24 hintergreift ein an einem jeweiligen Befestigungszapfen 9 ausgebildeter Rastansatz 25 einen innerhalb der jeweiligen Einsteckaufnahme 8 ausgebildeten Halteabschnitt 26 (siege zum Beispiel Figuren 6 und 15). Dementsprechend hintergreift eine jeweiliger Befestigungszapfen 9 mit seinem Rastansatz 25 den innerhalb der Einsteckaufnahme 8 ausgebildeten Halteabschnitt 26 derart, dass eine Bewegung des Befestigungszapfens 9 aus der Einsteckaufnahme 8 heraus und entgegen der Einsteckrichtung 22 blockiert ist. Mit Hilfe des Verbindungselements 10 ist dann die Anordnung des Befestigungszapfens 9 innerhalb der Einsteckaufnahme 8 gesichert.For the assembly of the handle element 5 on the handle holder 7, it should also be mentioned that during assembly after the insertion or insertion of the respective fastening pins 9 in the insertion direction 22 and before the connection elements 10 are screwed, there is a transverse movement 24 to the insertion direction 22 (see FIG example Figure 15 ). As a result of this transverse movement 24, a latching projection 25 formed on a respective fastening pin 9 engages behind a holding section 26 formed within the respective plug-in receptacle 8 (see for example Figures 6 and 15th ). Correspondingly, a respective fastening pin 9 with its latching projection 25 engages behind the holding section 26 formed within the insertion receptacle 8 in such a way that a movement of the fastening pin 9 out of the insertion receptacle 8 and against the insertion direction 22 is blocked. The arrangement of the fastening pin 9 within the plug-in receptacle 8 is then secured with the aid of the connecting element 10.

In den Figuren 16 und 17 ist abschließend gezeigt, dass der Handgriff 11 vor seinem Zusammenbau mit der Blende 12 alternativ auch zur Montage eines zweipoligen Steckers 27 genutzt werden kann. Der zweipolige Stecker 27 weist dabei einen verbreiterten Fußabschnitt auf, welcher mittels des Rasthakens 20 an dem Handgriff 11 fixiert werden kann, so dass der Stecker 27 mittels des Handgriffs 11 geführt und an einer Türgriffanordnung montiert werden kann.In the Figures 16 and 17 Finally, it is shown that the handle 11 can alternatively also be used to mount a two-pin plug 27 before it is assembled with the cover 12. The two-pole plug 27 has a widened foot section which can be fixed to the handle 11 by means of the latching hook 20, so that the plug 27 can be guided by the handle 11 and mounted on a door handle arrangement.
