Abstract

A motor vehicle with a body open at the top has two pivotable hoods arranged at a distance from one another, each hood being provided with a lock which is connected via a connecting element to an actuating handle of an operating device, and the two hoods being unlockable from the passenger space. In order to develop a device for locking and unlocking two hoods of an open passenger car which are located at a distance from one another, in such a way that, whilst having a simplified design, it can be produced cost-effectively and constitutes an effective anti-theft device, provision is made for assigning the two actuating handles to a common operating device which comprises a bearing housing having a central cylinder lock. Formed-on catches of the two actuating handles cooperate with outer walls of the lock case of the cylinder lock. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Ent- und Verriegeln von zumindest zwei mit Abstand zueinander angeordneten, schwenkbaren Hauben eines Kraftfahrzeuges gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for unlocking and locking at least two spaced-apart, pivotable hoods of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einem bekannten Kraftfahrzeug der eingangs genannten Gattung (Porsche 911 Cabrio) ist für eine im Bugbereich angeordnete erste Haube und eine im Heckbereich vorgesehene zweite Haube jeweils eine Einrichtung zum Entriegeln vom Fahrgastraum aus vorgesehen, wobei für jede Haube im Fahrgastraum eine separate Bedienungseinrichtung mit einem Betätigungsgriff ausgebildet ist. Die Bedienungseinrichtung für die vordere Haube ist an der Innenseite der A-Säule vorgesehen, wogegen an der B-Säule eine Bedienungseinrichtung für die hintere Haube angebracht ist.
Letztere Bedienungseinrichtung ist nur bei geöffneter Fahrzeugseitentür zugänglich, so daß bei offenem Fahrzeug und verschlossener Fahrzeugseitentür die hintere Haube nicht von unbefugten Personen entriegelt werden kann.
In a known motor vehicle of the type mentioned at the beginning (Porsche 911 Cabrio), a device for unlocking from the passenger compartment is provided for a first hood arranged in the bow region and a second hood provided in the rear region, with a separate operating device with an operating handle for each hood in the passenger compartment is trained. The operating device for the front hood is provided on the inside of the A-pillar, whereas an operating device for the rear hood is attached to the B-pillar.
The latter operating device is only accessible when the vehicle side door is open, so that when the vehicle is open and the vehicle side door is closed, the rear hood cannot be unlocked by unauthorized persons.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Einrichtung zum Ent- und Verriegeln von zumindest zwei mit Abstand zueinander angeordneten, schwenkbaren Hauben eines vorzugsweise offenen Personenkraftwagens so weiterzubilden, daß sie bei vereinfachtem Aufbau kostengünstig herstellbar ist und darüber hinaus einen wirkungsvollen Diebstahlschutz bei offenem Fahrzeug darstellt.The object of the invention is to develop a device for unlocking and locking at least two spaced-apart, pivotable hoods of a preferably open passenger car so that it is inexpensive to manufacture with a simplified construction and also represents effective theft protection when the vehicle is open.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere, die Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise ausgestaltende Merkmale enthalten die Unteransprüche.
Die mit der Erfindung hauptsächlich erzielten Vorteile sind darin zu sehen, daß durch die Anordnung einer gemeinsamen Bedienungseinrichtung mit einem zentralen Zylinderschloß für die Betätigungsgriffe beider Hauben eine im Aufbau einfache und kostengünstige Einrichtung geschaffen wird, wobei bei verriegeltem Schließzylinder ein wirksamer Schutz gegen das unbefugte Entriegeln der beiden Hauben bei offenem Fahrzeug gegeben ist.
According to the invention this is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further features which advantageously design the invention contain the subclaims.
The main advantages achieved with the invention can be seen in the fact that the arrangement of a common operating device with a central cylinder lock for the actuating handles of both hoods creates a structure which is simple and inexpensive in construction, with locked Lock cylinder provides effective protection against unauthorized unlocking of the two hoods when the vehicle is open.

Bei verriegeltem Schließzylinder liegen angeformte Rasten der beiden Betätigungsgriffe formschlüssig an den Außenseiten des Schloßgehäuses an, so daß die Betätigungsgriffe nicht in eine Wirkstellung bewegt werden können. Bei entriegeltem Schließzylinder wird das federbelastete Schloßgehäuse selbsttätig nach außen bewegt, wodurch die Rasten der Betätigungsgriffe mit vertieften Aussparungen des Schloßgehäuses zusammenwirken und ein Verschwenken der Betätigungsgriffe und somit ein Entriegeln der Hauben ermöglichen.When the locking cylinder is locked, molded catches of the two actuating handles rest positively on the outside of the lock housing, so that the actuating handles cannot be moved into an active position. When the lock cylinder is unlocked, the spring-loaded lock housing is automatically moved outwards, as a result of which the catches of the actuating handles interact with recessed recesses in the lock housing and enable the actuating handles to pivot and thus unlock the hoods.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert:An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below:

In Fig. 1 ist ein Personenwagen 1 dargestellt, dessen Aufbau 2 seitliche Türen 3, einen eine Windschutzscheibe 4 aufnehmenden Windschutzscheibenrahmen 5, eine im Bugbereich 6 angeordnete erste Haube 7 sowie eine im Heckbereich 8 vorgesehene zweite Haube 9 aufweist. Zum Ent- und Verriegeln der beiden schwenkbaren Hauben 7, 9 ist eine Einrichtung 10 vorgesehen, die von einem Fahrgastraum 11 des vorzugsweise oberhalb einer Gürtellinie 12 offen ausgebildeten Personenkraftwagens 1 aus betätigbar ist. Jeder Haube 7, 9 ist ein herkömmliches Schloß 13, 14 zugeordnet, wobei jedes Schloß 13, 14 über ein Verbindungslement 15, 16 mit einer gemeinsamen Bedienungseinrichtung 17 verbunden ist. Die Verbindungselemente 15, 16 werden im Ausführungsbeispiel durch Bowdenzüge gebildet. Sie können jedoch auch als Gestänge oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein.
Die gemeinsame Bedienungseinrichtung 17 ist an der Innenseite eines seitlich außenliegenden Längsträgers (Schwellers)oder auf dem Mitteltunnel angebracht und umfaßt ein langgestrecktes Lagergehäuse 18, das Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 für die Hauben 7, 8 und ein zentrales Zylinderschloß 21 aufnimmt (Fig. 2).
1 shows a passenger car 1, the construction of which has 2 side doors 3, a windshield frame 5 which accommodates a windshield 4, a first hood 7 arranged in the bow region 6 and a second hood 9 provided in the rear region 8. To unlock and lock the two pivotable hoods 7, 9, a device 10 is provided which can be actuated from a passenger compartment 11 of the passenger car 1, which is preferably designed to be open above a belt line 12. Each hood 7, 9 is a Conventional lock 13, 14 assigned, each lock 13, 14 is connected via a connecting element 15, 16 to a common operating device 17. The connecting elements 15, 16 are formed in the exemplary embodiment by Bowden cables. However, they can also be designed as a linkage or the like.
The common operating device 17 is attached to the inside of a laterally external longitudinal member (sill) or on the center tunnel and comprises an elongated bearing housing 18 which receives actuating handles 19, 20 for the hoods 7, 8 and a central cylinder lock 21 (Fig. 2).

Das Zylinderschloß 21 ist in einem mittleren Bereich der Längserstreckung des Lagergehäuses 18 angeordnet und umfaßt ein Schloßgehäuse 22 und einen im Schloßgehäuse 22 aufgenommenen Schließzylinder 23, der mittels eines nicht näher dargestellten Schlüssels von einer Verriegelungsstellung A in eine Entriegelungsstellung B bewegbar ist und umgekehrt. Als Schlüssel wird vorzugsweise der Zündschlüssel verwendet, der zudem für sämtliche anderen Schließeinrichtungen des Fahrzeuges (Handschuhkasten, Türen, Kofferraum) verwendbar ist, so daß mit einem einzigen Schlüssel sämtliche Schließeinrichtungen betätigbar sind.The cylinder lock 21 is arranged in a central region of the longitudinal extent of the bearing housing 18 and comprises a lock housing 22 and a lock cylinder 23 accommodated in the lock housing 22, which can be moved from a locking position A into an unlocking position B by means of a key (not shown in more detail) and vice versa. The ignition key, which can also be used for all other locking devices of the vehicle (glove box, doors, trunk), is preferably used as the key, so that all locking devices can be actuated with a single key.

Gemäß Fig. 3 ist der Schließzylinder 23 in eine zylindrische Öffnung 24 des Schloßgehäuses 22 eingesetzt und wird durch einen federnden Haltebügel 25 in axialer Richtung fixiert. Der Haltebügel 25 wirkt mit einer Ringnut 26 des Schließzylinders 23 formschlüssig zusammen. Gebogene Endabschnitte des U-förmigen Haltebügels 25 sind durch Aussparungen des Schloßgehäuses 22 hindurchgeführt und überragen das Schloßgehäuse 22. An seinem unteren Ende weist der Schließzylinder 23 einen angeformten, vorstehenden Exzenter 27 auf, der mit einer darunterliegenden Aussparung 28 eines federbelasteten verschiebbaren Verriegelungsgliedes 29 zusammenwirkt. Das federbelastete Verriegelungsglied 29 ist in einer Ausnehmung 30 des Schloßgehäuses 22 verschiebbar gelagert (in Richtung der Längserstreckung des Lagergehäuses 18). Das Schloßgehäuse 22 ist in eine korrespondierende Aufnahmeöffnung 31 des Lagergehäuses 18 eingesetzt und umfaßt einen ersten, etwa prismatisch ausgebildeten Bereich 32, an den sich nach unten hin ein zweiter, abschnittsweise zylindrisch ausgebildeter Bereich 33 anschließt. Die beiden Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 erstrecken sich benachbart von gegenüberliegenden, querverlaufenden Außenwandungen 34, 35 des Schloßgehäuses 22, wobei angeformte Rasten 36, 37 beider Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 mit den Außenwandungen 34, 35 des Schloßgehäuses 22 in Wirkverbindung stehen.3, the lock cylinder 23 is inserted into a cylindrical opening 24 of the lock housing 22 and is fixed in the axial direction by a resilient retaining bracket 25. The bracket 25 interacts with an annular groove 26 of the lock cylinder 23 in a form-fitting manner. Curved end sections of the U-shaped bracket 25 are passed through recesses in the lock housing 22 and protrude beyond the lock housing 22. At its lower end, the lock cylinder 23 has a molded, projecting eccentric 27 which interacts with an underlying recess 28 of a spring-loaded, displaceable locking member 29. The spring-loaded locking member 29 is slidably mounted in a recess 30 of the lock housing 22 (in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the bearing housing 18). The lock housing 22 is inserted into a corresponding receiving opening 31 of the bearing housing 18 and comprises a first, approximately prismatic formed area 32, which is followed by a second section 33, which is cylindrical in sections. The two actuating handles 19, 20 extend adjacent from opposite, transverse outer walls 34, 35 of the lock housing 22, molded catches 36, 37 of both actuating handles 19, 20 being operatively connected to the outer walls 34, 35 of the lock housing 22.

Bei verriegeltem Schließzylinder 23 (Verriegelungsstellung A; Fig. 4) hintergreift das mit dem Exzenter 27 zusammenwirkende, federbelastete Verriegelungsglied 29 einen Bodenabschnitt 38 des Lagergehäuses 18 und die Rasten 36, 37 beider Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 liegen an den ebenen Außenseiten der Außenwandungen 34, 35 des Schloßgehäuses 22 formschlüssig an, wodurch die Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 in ihrer Verriegelungsstellung A fixiert sind und sich nicht verschwenken lassen.When the locking cylinder 23 is locked (locking position A; FIG. 4), the spring-loaded locking member 29 cooperating with the eccentric 27 engages behind a bottom section 38 of the bearing housing 18 and the catches 36, 37 of both actuating handles 19, 20 lie on the flat outer sides of the outer walls 34, 35 of the lock housing 22 in a form-fitting manner, as a result of which the actuating handles 19, 20 are fixed in their locking position A and cannot be pivoted.

Eine mit dem Verriegelungsglied 29 durch eine Schraube verbundene Rolle 39 verläuft dabei mit Abstand zum darüberliegenden Bodenabschnitt 38.A roller 39 connected to the locking member 29 by a screw runs at a distance from the floor section 38 above it.

Bei einer Drehbewegung des in den Schließzylinder 23 eingeführten, nicht näher dargestellten Schlüssels wird der Exzenter 27 verschwenkt (Fig. 5), wodurch sich das Verriegelungsglied 29 nach innen bewegt und außer Eingriff mit dem Bodenabschnitt 38 des Lagergehäuses 18 gelangt. Das Schloßgehäuse 23 wird durch die es umgebende Druckfeder 40 in axialer Richtung bewegt und zwar so lange, bis die Rolle 39 an der Unterseite des Bodenabschnitts 38 anliegt (Fig. 5). Die Rolle 39 begrenzt also die axiale Hubbewegung des Schloßgehäuses 22, nachdem der Schließzylinder 23 in seine Entriegelungsstellung bewegt wurde.When the key inserted into the locking cylinder 23 (not shown in more detail) rotates, the eccentric 27 is pivoted (FIG. 5), as a result of which the locking member 29 moves inward and disengages from the bottom section 38 of the bearing housing 18. The lock housing 23 is moved by the surrounding compression spring 40 in the axial direction until the roller 39 rests on the underside of the bottom section 38 (FIG. 5). The roller 39 thus limits the axial stroke movement of the lock housing 22 after the lock cylinder 23 has been moved into its unlocked position.

In dieser Entriegelungsstellung wirken durch die Axialverschiebung (Hub H) des Schloßgehäuses 22 die Rasten 36, 37 beider Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 mit vertieften Aussparungen 41, 42 des Schloßgehäuses 22 zusammen, dergestalt, daß in dieser Stellung ein Verschwenken eines oder beider Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 und somit ein Entriegeln einer oder beider Hauben 7, 9 ermöglicht wird.In this unlocking position, due to the axial displacement (stroke H) of the lock housing 22, the catches 36, 37 of both actuating handles 19, 20 interact with recessed cutouts 41, 42 of the lock housing 22, in such a way that in this position pivoting of one or both actuating handles 19, 20 and thus unlocking one or both hoods 7, 9 is made possible.

Die Aussparungen 41, 42 erstrecken sich über einen wesentlichen Teil der Breite der gegenüberliegenden Außenwandungen 34, 35 des Schloßgehäuses 22, wobei die Außenwandungen 34, 35 quer zur Längserstreckung des Lagergehäuses 18 verlaufen (Fig. 3).The recesses 41, 42 extend over a substantial part of the width of the opposite outer walls 34, 35 of the lock housing 22, the outer walls 34, 35 extending transversely to the longitudinal extent of the bearing housing 18 (FIG. 3).

Die beiden Betätigungsgriffe 19, 20 sind um quer zur Längserstreckung des Lagergehäuses 18 ausgerichtete Drehachsen 43, 44 schwenkbar am Lagergehäuse 18 gelagert.
