Abstract

1. Opening device for an article of luggage having a pivoting handle which, by pivoting, actuates securing parts of the device, characterised in that the pivot handle (1) is coupable, by actuation of a part (2), to a pivot spindle (5) about which the handle (1) rotates and which actuates the opening mechanism (12, 16), especially through intermediate parts (9, 11).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine neuartige öffnungsvorrichtung für ein mit einem Schwenkgriff versehenes Gepäckstück.The invention relates to a novel opening device for a piece of luggage provided with a pivoting handle.

Bei bekannten Gepäckstücken wird das öffnen mit Hilfe von Zugschnüren, Schwenkhebeln oder Drückvorrichtungen vorgenommen, deren Hauptnachteil darin besteht, daß sie einem gewaltsamen Aufbrechen verhältnismäßig wenig Widerstand bieten, da sie erhabene Teile aufweisen, an denen Werkzeuge angesetzt werden können. Außerdem ist die Formschönheit der bekannten Vorrichtungen wegen der erhabenen Teile fragwürdig.In known pieces of luggage, the opening is carried out with the aid of pull cords, swivel levers or pushing devices, the main disadvantage of which is that they offer relatively little resistance to violent break-open, since they have raised parts on which tools can be attached. In addition, the beauty of the known devices is questionable because of the raised parts.

Es stellte sich daher die Aufgabe, eine öffnungsvorrichtung für ein Gepäckstück zur Verfügung zu stellen, die das gewaltsame Aufbrechen des Gepäckstücks erschwert und zugleich sein Aussehen verbessert.It was therefore the task of providing an opening device for a piece of luggage which makes it difficult to break open the luggage and at the same time improves its appearance.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß sie Bauteile zur Übertragung einer Drehbewegung des Griffes auf den öffnungsmechannismus aufweist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a device of the type mentioned at the outset in that it has components for transmitting a rotary movement of the handle to the opening mechanism.

An Hand der Zeichnung wird die Erfindung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1: eine Längsschnittansicht der Vorrichtung nach einem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der Erfindung und
  • Fig. 2: eine Schnittansicht längs der Linie II-II in Figur 1.
The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1: a longitudinal sectional view of the device according to an embodiment according to the invention and
  • 2 shows a sectional view along the line II-II in FIG. 1.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die öffnungsvorrichtung mit einem Verriegelungsschloß versehen. Die Erfindung ist aber auch bei Vorrichtungen anwendbar, die keine derartige Verriegelungseinrichtung aufweisen.In the illustrated embodiment, the opening device is provided with a locking lock. However, the invention is also applicable to devices which do not have such a locking device.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel umfaßt die Vorrichtung einen Schwenkgriff 1, in dessen einem vertikalen Schenkel ein Druckstift 2 angeordnet ist, der rechtwinklig zur Schwenkachse des Griffes 1 verschiebbar ist und von einer Druckfeder 3 nach außen gedrückt wird. Der Druckstift 2 ist so befestigt, daß er nicht über den Griff 1 vorsteht.In the illustrated embodiment, the device comprises a swivel handle 1, in the vertical leg of which a pressure pin 2 is arranged, which is displaceable at right angles to the swivel axis of the handle 1 and is pressed outwards by a compression spring 3. The pressure pin 2 is fixed so that it does not protrude beyond the handle 1.

Die Drehbarkeit des Griffes 1 ermöglicht eine Achse 4 in dem Griffschenkel, der sich dem Druckstift 2 gegenüber befindet, und eine verschiebbare Achse 5 in dem anderen Schenkel. Die Achse 5 weist einen Ausschnitt 6 auf, der sich in axialer Richtung in Flucht mit dem Ende 7 des Druckstiftes 2 befindet. Eine Feder 8 sucht die Achse 5 in eine Richtung zu verschieben, in der sich der Ausschnitt 6 nicht in Flucht mit dem Ende 7 des Druckstiftes 2 befindet (in der Zeichnung dargestellte Stellung). Mit der Achse 5 ist ein Ritzel 9 verbunden, an das sich ein Führungsachsenstumpf 10 anschließt. Das Ritzel 9 kämmt eine Zahnstange 11, die mit einem Verschlußriegel 12 verbunden ist.The rotatability of the handle 1 enables an axis 4 in the handle leg, which is located opposite the pressure pin 2, and a displaceable axis 5 in the other shank kel. The axis 5 has a cutout 6 which is in the axial direction in alignment with the end 7 of the pressure pin 2. A spring 8 tries to move the axis 5 in a direction in which the cutout 6 is not in alignment with the end 7 of the pressure pin 2 (position shown in the drawing). A pinion 9 is connected to the axis 5, to which a guide axis stub 10 is connected. The pinion 9 meshes a rack 11 which is connected to a locking bar 12.

Die Achse 5 ist gegen die Wirkung der Feder 8 durch einen Nocken 13 verschiebbar, der an einem Ende des Achsenstumpfes 10 anliegt und mit einem Schloßzylinder 14 verbunden ist, der durch einen codierten Schlüssel 15 betätigt wird. Der Verschlußriegel 12 betätigt ein Gestänge 16, das von Federn zurückgestellt wird und in üblicher Weise - z. B. durch Haken (nicht dargestellt) - das Gepäckstück öffnet.The axis 5 is displaceable against the action of the spring 8 by a cam 13 which bears against one end of the axis stump 10 and is connected to a lock cylinder 14 which is actuated by a coded key 15. The locking bolt 12 actuates a linkage 16, which is reset by springs and in the usual way - z. B. by hook (not shown) - the luggage opens.

Die ganze Vorrichtung ist in einem Gehäuse 17 eingeschlossen, das an dem (nicht dargestellten) Gepäckstück befestigt und gegenüber dem Innenraum des Gepäckstücks durch einen Deckel 18 abgeschlossen ist.The entire device is enclosed in a housing 17 which is fastened to the item of luggage (not shown) and is closed off from the interior of the item of luggage by a cover 18.

In der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Verschlußstellung befindet sich der Achsenstumpf 10 in einer Aussparung des Nok- kens 13, und die Gleitachse 5 ist durch die Feder 8 derart nach links (in der Zeichnung) verschoben, daß sich der Ausschnitt 6 nicht in Flucht mit dem Ende 7 des Druckstifts 2 befindet. Wenn auf den Druckstift 2 Druck ausgeübt wird, so stößt sein Ende 7 auf einen vollwandigen Teil der Gleitachse 5, und eine Betätigung der öffnungsvorrichtung ist nicht möglich.In the embodiment shown in the drawing closed position, the axle stub 10 is located in a recess of the N OK Ken 13, and the sliding shaft 5 is moved by the spring 8 in such a way to the left (in the drawing), that the segment 6 are not aligned with the end 7 of the pressure pin 2 is located. If pressure is exerted on the pressure pin 2, its end 7 strikes a solid-walled part of the sliding axis 5, and actuation of the opening device is not possible.

Wird der Schloßzylinder 14 mit Hilfe des Schlüssels 15 gedreht, so verschiebt der Nocken 13 den Achsenstumpf 10 nach rechts (in der Zeichnung); das Ritzel 9 läuft über die Zahnstange 11, und der Ausschnitt 6 kommt in Flucht mit dem Ende 7 des Druckstiftes 2. Die Vorrichtung kann nun entriegelt werden. Man beachte, daß bei einer Vorrichtung, die kein Verriegelungsschloß umfaßt, die Achse 5 keine Längsbewegung ausführt und der Ausschnitt 6 sich immer in Flucht mit dem Ende 7 des Druckstiftes 2 befindet.If the lock cylinder 14 is rotated with the help of the key 15, the cam 13 moves the stub shaft 10 to right (in the drawing); the pinion 9 runs over the rack 11, and the cutout 6 comes into alignment with the end 7 of the pressure pin 2. The device can now be unlocked. It should be noted that in a device that does not include a locking lock, the axis 5 does not perform any longitudinal movement and the cutout 6 is always in alignment with the end 7 of the pressure pin 2.

Sowohl in der Verriegelungs- als auch in der Entriegelungsstellung kann der Griff 1 frei um die Achsen 4 und 5 geschwenkt werden. In einer bestimmten Winkelstellung des Griffes 1, vorzugsweise in einer vertikalen Stellung, die durch den Anschlag des Griffes 1 an einen Ansatz 19 des Gehäuses 17 festgelegt ist, gelangt der Ausschnitt 6 in Flucht mit dem Ende 7 des Druckstiftes 2. Wenn nun der Druckstift 2 gegen die Wirkung der Feder 3 niedergedrückt wird, so dringt das Ende 7 in den Ausschnitt 6 ein, und ein anschließendes Verschwenken des Griffes 1 erzeugt eine Drehung der Achse 5. Das mit der Achse verbundene Ritzel 9 kämmt die Zahnstange 11, die ihrerseits eine Verschiebung des Riegels 12 und damit des Gestänges 16 bewirkt, wodurch das Gepäckstück geöffnet wird. Das Gestänge 16 wird durch Federn (nicht dargestellt) zurückgestellt, und das System kehrt in in die Schließstellung zurück, sobald der Druckstift 2 nicht mehr niedergedrückt wird. Das Schließen erfolgt durch eine gegenläufige Bewegung unter der Wirkung der Federn, unabhängig von der Winkelstellung, die der Griff 1 einnimmt.The handle 1 can be pivoted freely about the axes 4 and 5 both in the locking and in the unlocking position. In a certain angular position of the handle 1, preferably in a vertical position, which is fixed by the stop of the handle 1 on a shoulder 19 of the housing 17, the cutout 6 is aligned with the end 7 of the pressure pin 2. If the pressure pin 2 is pressed against the action of the spring 3, the end 7 penetrates into the cutout 6, and a subsequent pivoting of the handle 1 produces a rotation of the axis 5. The pinion 9 connected to the axis combs the rack 11, which in turn causes a displacement the bolt 12 and thus the linkage 16 causes, whereby the luggage is opened. The linkage 16 is reset by springs (not shown) and the system returns to the closed position as soon as the pressure pin 2 is no longer depressed. The closing takes place by an opposite movement under the action of the springs, regardless of the angular position that the handle 1 assumes.
