Abstract
Für ein Kraftfahrzeug bestimmte Stoßfängerabdeckung (1) mit einer Öffnung (2) zum Durchtritt einer abnehmbaren Anhängekupplung (3) und mit einer bei demontierter Anhängekupplung (3) die Öffnung (2) außenflächenbündig abdeckenden, dann mittels Klipsen (8) an ihr in der Öffnung (2) lagearretierten Klappe (4), dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß auf der innenliegenden Seite der Stoßfängerabdeckung (1) im Bereich der Öffnung (2) ein Rahmen (5) als Anlagefläche für die Klappe (4) befestigt ist, die im Einbauzustand mit den Klipsen (8) den inneren Rand (9) des Rahmens (5) hintergreift.For a motor vehicle certain bumper cover (1) with an opening (2) for the passage of a removable hitch (3) and with a at dismantled trailer hitch (3) the opening (2) covering the outside surface flush, then by means of clips (8) on her lagearretierten in the opening (2) Flap (4), characterized in that on the inner side the bumper cover (1) in the area of the opening (2) a frame (5) as a contact surface for the Flap (4) is attached, which in the installed state with the clips (8) engages behind the inner edge (9) of the frame (5).
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stoßfängerabdeckung entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The The invention relates to a bumper cover according to the preamble of claim 1.
Für Personenkraftwagen, die nur hin und wieder als Zugwagen für einen Anhänger im Einsatz sind, setzen sich abnehmbare Anhängekupplungen immer mehr durch. Diese werden bei ihrer Montage durch eine entsprechende Öffnung in der aus Kunststoff bestehenden Stoßfängerabdeckung hindurchgeführt und in einer fahrzeugseitigen Aufnahme befestigt. Bei Nichtgebrauch läßt sich die Anhängekupplung mit wenigen Handgriffen demontieren und an einer geeigneten Stelle im Fahrzeug verstauen und mitführen. Die Öffnung in der Stoßfängerabdeckung wird dann üblicherweise durch eine separate, aufgesetzten Klappe abgedeckt. Diese aus der Ebene der Stoßfängerabdeckung hervorstehende Klappe stört das äußere Erscheinungsbild stark, zumal die Klappe im direkten Blickfeld eines die Rückseite des Fahrzeuges in Augenschein nehmenden Betrachters liegt.For passenger cars, who are used only occasionally as a train carriage for a trailer, put Detachable towbars always more through. These are in their assembly through an appropriate opening in passed out of plastic bumper cover and attached in a vehicle-mounted recording. When not in use let yourself the trailer hitch disassemble in a few simple steps and at a suitable location stow and carry in the vehicle. The opening in the bumper cover then becomes common covered by a separate, attached flap. This from the Level of the bumper cover protruding flap interferes the external appearance strong, especially as the flap in the direct field of view of the back of the Vehicle is located in viewing viewer.
In der Konstruktion nach der JP 60-33152 A dient zum wahlweisen Verschließen und Freigeben einer Öffnung in der Stoßfängerabdeckung eine Klappe, die an Ihrem unteren Rand mittels eines Filmscharniers permanent mit der Stoßfängerabdeckung verbunden ist; beide Teile können in einem Arbeitsgang aus demselben Material gefertigt werden. Zur Arretierung der Klappe in ihrer Schließstellung, in der sie von der Öffnung in der Stoßfängerabdeckung aufgenommen ist, sind an ihrem oberen Rand Vorsprünge vorgesehen, die den Öffnungsrand in der Stoßfängerabdeckung dann hintergreifen. Ferner sind der Klappe seitliche gebogene Arme zugeordnet, die sie im geöffneten Zustand in einer horizontalen Lage arretieren sollen. Diese Arme dürfen aber auch erforderlich sein, um die Klappe in ihrer Schließlage in Richtung nach vorn abzustützen.In the construction according to JP 60-33152 A is used for optional closing and Releasing an opening in the bumper cover a flap, which at its lower edge by means of a film hinge permanently with the bumper cover connected is; both parts can be made in one operation from the same material. to Locking the flap in its closed position, in which it from the opening in the bumper cover added is, are provided at its upper edge projections that the opening edge in the bumper cover then reach behind. Furthermore, the flap are lateral curved arms associated with them in the open Condition in a horizontal position to lock. These arms allowed to but also be required to shut the flap in its closed position Support the direction forward.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Stoßfängerabdeckung zu schaffen, bei der die Lagearretierung der Klappe innerhalb der Öffnung und flächenbündig mit der Außenfläche der Stoßfängerabdeckung mit geringerem Herstellaufwand und demgemäß mit geringeren Kosten gewährleistet ist.Of the Invention is based on the object, a generic bumper cover in which the Lagearretierung the flap within the opening and flush with the outer surface of the bumper cover guaranteed with less manufacturing effort and accordingly with lower costs is.
Ausgehend von einer für ein Kraftfahrzeug bestimmten Stoßfängerabdeckung mit einer Öffnung zum Durchtritt einer abnehmbaren Anhängerkupplung und mit einer bei demontierter Anhängekupplung die Öffnung außenflächenbündig abdeckenden, dann mittels Klipsen an ihr in der Öffnung lagearretierten Klappe, wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf der innenliegenden Seite der Stoßfängerabdeckung im Bereich der Öffnung ein Rahmen als Anlagefläche für die Klappe befestigt ist, die im Einbauzustand mit den Klipsen den inneren Rand des Rahmens hintergreift. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.outgoing from one for a motor vehicle specific bumper cover with an opening to the Passage of a removable trailer hitch and with a disassembled hitch cover the opening flush with the outside, then by clipping on her in the opening Lagearretierten flap, the task is inventively characterized solved, that on the inner side of the bumper cover in the area of the opening a frame as a contact surface for the Flap is attached, which in the installed state with the clips the inner edge behind the frame. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
