Description
Zündschloß für ein Kraftfahrzeug Ignition lock for a motor vehicle
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zündschloß nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an ignition lock according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
In Kraftfahrzeugen befindet sich zum Schutz gegen unbefugte Benutzung ein Zündschloß. Das Zündschloß und zugehörige Steuergeräte sind Bestandteile des Zündschloß- bzw. Fahrberechtigungssystems im Kraftfahrzeug.An ignition lock is located in motor vehicles to protect against unauthorized use. The ignition lock and associated control units are components of the ignition lock or driver authorization system in the motor vehicle.
Ein mit einem elektronischen Schlüssel zusammenwirkendes Zündschloßsystem in einem Kraftfahrzeug ist aus der DE 44 34 587 AI bekannt. Das Zündschloß desAn ignition lock system interacting with an electronic key in a motor vehicle is known from DE 44 34 587 AI. The ignition switch of the
Zündschloßsystems weist ein Schaltelement sowie einen Rotor auf. Nach erfolgreicher Authentifikation des Schlüssels, die mittels eines codierten Betriebssignals zwischen dem im Zündschloß befindlichen Schlüssel und dem Zündschloß erfolgt, ist der Rotor aus einer Ausgangsstellung mittels des elektronischen Schlüssels als Handhabe in wenigstens eine Betätigungsstellung bewegbar. Der Rotor wirkt in der Betätigungsstellung schaltend auf das Schaltelement ein, wodurch bestimmte Funktionen des Kraftfahrzeugs, wie beispielsweise das Einschalten der Zündung u. dgl. bewirkt werden.Ignition lock system has a switching element and a rotor. After successful authentication of the key, which takes place by means of a coded operating signal between the key located in the ignition lock and the ignition lock, the rotor can be moved from an initial position by means of the electronic key as a handle into at least one actuation position. In the actuating position, the rotor acts in a switching manner on the switching element, as a result of which certain functions of the motor vehicle, such as switching on the ignition and the like. Like. Be effected.
Solche Zündschloßsysteme sind auch mit einer sogenannten "Keyless Go"-Funktionalität weiterentwickelt, bei der es genügt, daß der Benutzer den Schlüssel, einen Identitäts(ID)— Geber, eine Chipkarte, eine Smartcard o. dgl. mit sich führt. Die Authentifikation des Schlüssels o. dgl. wird dann selbsttätig durchgeführt, wenn der Benutzer sich im Kraftfahrzeug befindet. Für den eigentlichen Startvorgang bewegt der Benutzer beispielsweise den Rotor manuell mittels einer am Rotor angebrachten Handhabe.Such ignition lock systems have also been further developed with a so-called "keyless go" functionality, in which it is sufficient for the user to carry the key, an identity (ID) transmitter, a chip card, a smart card or the like with him. The authentication of the key or the like is then carried out automatically when the user is in the motor vehicle. For the actual starting process, for example, the user moves the rotor manually using a handle attached to the rotor.
Für einen eventuellen Ausfall der Keyless Go-Funktionalität ist es denkbar, eine Art von Notbetätigung mittels eines in das Zündschloß einsteckbaren Notschlüssels vorzusehen. Die Notbetätigung ist wegen der am Zündschloß angebrachten Handhabe erschwert. Ebenso kann die am Zündschloß angeordnete Handhabe dessen Betätigung für den Benutzer wenig komfortabel machen.In the event of a possible failure of the keyless go functionality, it is conceivable to provide a type of emergency actuation by means of an emergency key which can be inserted into the ignition lock. The emergency operation is difficult because of the handle attached to the ignition lock. Likewise, the handle arranged on the ignition lock can make its operation less comfortable for the user.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Zündschloß derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß dessen Betätigung, insbesondere bei einem Ausfall der Keyless Go-Funktionalität, mehr Komfort bietet.The invention has for its object to further develop the ignition lock in such a way that its operation, in particular in the event of a failure of the keyless go functionality, offers greater convenience.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Zündschloß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in a generic ignition lock by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Das erfindungsgemäße Zündschloß besitzt eine separate Handhabe, die in den Rotor oder ein sonstiges, in geeigneter Weise zwischen der Ausgangs- und Betätigungsstellung bewegbares Bewegungselement des Zündschlosses zu dessen Bewegung einführbar ist. Im eingeführten Zustand wirkt eine Verriegelung im Zündschloß mit der Handhabe derart zusammen, daß die Entnahme der Handhabe aus dem Rotor beziehungsweise dem Bewegungselement blockiert ist. Die Handhabe weist ihrerseits ein Betätigungselement zur Freigabe der Verriegelung auf, so daß nach Betätigung des Betätigungselements die Handhabe aus dem Rotor beziehungsweise dem Bewegungselement entnehmbar ist. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The ignition lock according to the invention has a separate handle which can be inserted into the rotor or another movement element of the ignition lock that can be moved in a suitable manner between the starting and actuating positions for the movement thereof. In the inserted state, a lock in the ignition lock interacts with the handle in such a way that the removal of the handle from the rotor or the movement element is blocked. The handle in turn has an actuating element for releasing the lock, so that after actuation of the actuating element the handle can be removed from the rotor or the movement element. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Ist das Bewegungselement in der Art eines Rotors ausgestaltet, so kann in der Betätigungsstellung eine elastische Kraft auf den Rotor einwirken. Aufgrund dieser elastischen Kraft, bei der es sich beispielsweise um eine Federkraft handelt, kehrt der Rotor dann selbsttätig in die Ausgangsstellung zurück, sobald die manuelle Einwirkung auf die Handhabe aufhört. Bevorzugterweise wird bei einem solchermaßen ausgebildeten Zündschloß ausgehend von der Ausgangsstellung in die eine Drehrichtung zunächst in einer ersten Betätigungsstellung die Zündung für den Motor des Kraftfahrzeugs eingeschaltet. In einer folgenden zweiten Betätigungsstellung wird der Motor gestartet. Ausgehend von der Ausgangsstellung in die andere Drehrichtung wird in einer dritten Betätigungsstellung die Zündung für den Motor ausgeschaltet.If the movement element is designed in the manner of a rotor, an elastic force can act on the rotor in the actuation position. Because of this elastic force, which is, for example, a spring force, the rotor then automatically returns to the starting position as soon as the manual action on the handle stops. In an ignition lock designed in this way, starting from the starting position in one direction of rotation, the ignition for the motor of the motor vehicle is first switched on in a first actuation position. The engine is started in a subsequent second actuation position. Starting from the starting position in the other direction of rotation, the ignition for the engine is switched off in a third actuation position.
Zweckmäßigerweise kann die Handhabe in der Art eines Zündschlüssels mit einem Bart und einem Griffteil ausgebildet sein. Das Bewegungselement kann eine Aufnahme besitzen, in die der zum Einführen der Handhabe dienende Bart einsteckbar ist. Der Bart weist eine Kontur auf, in die die Verriegelung blockierend eingreift. Das Griffteil ragt hingegen bei in die Aufnahme eingesteckten Bart aus dem Bewegungselement für die manuelle Bewegung desselben heraus. Vorteilhafterweise kann hier der Notschlüssel wie ein herkömmlicher elektronischer Zündschlüssel ausgebildet sein und/oder der herkömmliche elektronische Zündschlüssel für die Notbetätigung des Zündschlosses dienen.The handle can expediently be designed in the manner of an ignition key with a beard and a grip part. The movement element can have a receptacle into which the beard used to insert the handle can be inserted. The beard has a contour in which the locking engages. The handle part, however, protrudes from the movement element for manual movement of the beard inserted in the receptacle. Advantageously, the emergency key can be designed here like a conventional electronic ignition key and / or the conventional electronic ignition key can be used for the emergency actuation of the ignition lock.
Die Verriegelung kann aus einem mit einer Feder versehenen Schieber bestehen. Insbesondere ist hierbei eine Ausgestaltung als Doppelschieber mit zwei unter der Kraft der Feder gegeneinander bewegbaren Schiebern vorteilhaft. Eine Nase am Schieber greift in die Kontur im Bart der Handhabe ein. Es bietet sich an, für die Kontur im Bart einen im wesentlichen horizontal bezüglich des Bartes verlaufenden ersten Abschnitt, einen daran anschließenden, in der Art einer schiefen Ebene ansteigenden zweiten Abschnitt sowie einen wiederum daran anschließenden, in der Art eines Hinterschnitts ausgestalteten dritten Abschnitt vorzusehen. Dadurch ist der Schieber im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Einsteckrichtung beim Einstecken des Bartes in die Aufnahme am zweiten Abschnitt unter Spannung der Feder bewegbar. Anschließend rastet der Schieber mit seiner Nase aufgrund der Kraft der gespannten Feder im dritten Abschnitt verriegelnd ein.The lock can consist of a spring-provided slide. In particular, a configuration as a double slide with two slides that can be moved against each other under the force of the spring is advantageous. A nose on the slide engages in the contour of the handle's beard. It is advisable to provide for the contour in the beard a first section which runs essentially horizontally with respect to the beard, an adjoining second section which rises in the manner of an inclined plane, and a third section which in turn follows and is designed in the manner of an undercut. As a result, the slide can be moved substantially perpendicular to the direction of insertion when the beard is inserted into the receptacle on the second section under tension of the spring. Then the slide engages with its nose in the third section due to the force of the tensioned spring.
Das Betätigungselement kann in der Art eines Schiebeelementes ausgebildet sein, wobei das Schiebeelement eine der Nase zugewandte Anschrägung aufweist. Das Schiebeelement ist im Griffteil sowie an einer Führung am Bart beweglich gelagert. Dadurch ist das Schiebeelement in den dritten Abschnitt der Kontur derart einschiebbar, daß das Schiebeelement mittels der Anschrägung in der Art eines Auswerfers an der Nase des Schiebers angreift. Dabei wird dann die Nase mitsamt dem Schieber gegen die Kraft der Feder unter entriegelnder Entrastung aus dem dritten Abschnitt der Kontur bewegt.The actuating element can be designed in the manner of a sliding element, the sliding element having a bevel facing the nose. The sliding element is movably mounted in the handle and on a guide on the beard. As a result, the sliding element can be inserted into the third section of the contour in such a way that that the sliding element engages by means of the bevel in the manner of an ejector on the nose of the slide. The nose together with the slide is then moved out of the third section of the contour against the force of the spring with unlocking release.
Bevorzugterweise ist im Griffteil am Schiebeelement eine Drucktaste zur Betätigung des Schiebeelementes angebracht Die Drucktaste ist mitsamt dem Schiebeelement gegen die Kraft einer Druckfeder, die sich beispielsweise am Bart abstützt, manuell betätigbar. Um ein versehentliches Betätigen der Drucktaste bei der üblichen Bewegung der Handhabe zu verhindern, bietet es sich an, die Drucktaste an der dem Bart gegenüberliegenden Frontseite des Griffteils anzuordnen. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Drucktaste im wesentlichen bündig mit der Frontseite des Griffteils ausgestaltet. Die Fläche an dem der Frontseite zugeordneten Teil der Drucktaste bietet sich für das Anbringen eines Symbols an, wozu das Symbol beispielsweise in der Art eines Einsatzteiles ausgestaltet sein kann. Insbesondere kann an der genannten Fläche das Firmenlogo des Kraftfahrzeugherstellers, das Firmenlogo des Herstellers für das Zündschloß o. dgl. angebracht werden.A pushbutton for actuating the sliding element is preferably attached to the sliding element in the handle part. The pushbutton together with the sliding element can be actuated manually against the force of a compression spring which is supported, for example, on the beard. In order to prevent accidental actuation of the push button during the usual movement of the handle, it is advisable to arrange the push button on the front of the handle part opposite the beard. The pushbutton is expediently designed to be essentially flush with the front of the handle part. The area on the part of the push button assigned to the front side lends itself to the attachment of a symbol, for which purpose the symbol can be configured, for example, in the manner of an insert. In particular, the company logo of the motor vehicle manufacturer, the company logo of the manufacturer for the ignition lock or the like can be attached to the surface mentioned.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß die Handhabe im Zündschloß sicher und unverlierbar verrastet ist und dennoch wahlweise aus dem Zündschloß entnehmbar ist. Im normalen Betrieb des Kraftfahrzeugs verbleibt somit die Handhabe im Zündschloß und muß auch nicht beim Verlassen des Kraftfahrzeugs entnommen werden. Dennoch läßt sich bei Bedarf die Handhabe ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel im Zündschloß lösen und entnehmen. Ein solcher Bedarf kann bei Ausfall der Keyless Go-Funktionalität auftreten, beispielsweise wenn eine Störung der für die Inbetriebnahme des Kraftfahrzeugs notwendigen Authentifikation des elektronischen Schlüssels im Innenraum des Kraftfahrzeug vorliegt. Dann ist auf bequeme sowie einfache Art und Weise ein Notbetrieb durch Einstecken des elektronischen Schlüssels in das Zündschloß anstelle der Handhabe möglich, wodurch dann die Wegfahrsperre deaktiviert und das Kraftfahrzeug in Betrieb genommen werden kann. Änderungen am Zündschloß an sich sind trotz dieser zusätzlichen Funktionalität nicht erforderlich.The advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in that the handle is securely and captively locked in the ignition lock and can nevertheless be removed from the ignition lock. During normal operation of the motor vehicle, the handle thus remains in the ignition lock and does not have to be removed when leaving the motor vehicle. Nevertheless, the handle can be loosened and removed from the ignition lock without additional aids if necessary. Such a need may arise if the keyless go functionality fails, for example if there is a disturbance in the authentication of the electronic key required for starting the motor vehicle in the interior of the motor vehicle. Then emergency operation is possible in a convenient and simple manner by inserting the electronic key into the ignition lock instead of the handle, which then causes the immobilizer deactivated and the motor vehicle can be put into operation. Changes to the ignition lock itself are not necessary despite this additional functionality.
In der Regel besitzt der elektronische Schlüssel einen Transponder zur Übertragung eines Codes. Um die Transponderübertragung nicht zu stören, besteht das Gehäuse des elektronischen Schlüssels im allgemeinen aus Kunststoff. Für die Handhabe entfallen jedoch vorteilhafterweise solche Einschränkungen bei der Gestaltung. Insbesondere kann die Handhabe aus Metall hergestellt werden, was für deren Gebrauch vorteilhafter sein kann.As a rule, the electronic key has a transponder for transmitting a code. In order not to disturb the transponder transmission, the housing of the electronic key is generally made of plastic. However, such restrictions in the design advantageously do not apply to the handle. In particular, the handle can be made of metal, which can be more advantageous for its use.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Zündschloß 1 für ein mit einem elektronischen Schlüssel, einem ldentifikations(ID)-Geber, einer Chipkarte, einer Smartcard o. dgl. zusammenwirkendesIn Fig. 1 is an ignition lock 1 for interacting with an electronic key, an identification (ID) transmitter, a chip card, a smart card or the like
Fahrberechtigungs- und/oder Zündschloßsystem in einem Kraftfahrzeug zu sehen, nachfolgend der Einfachheit halber lediglich mit Schlüssel sowieTo see driving authorization and / or ignition lock system in a motor vehicle, for the sake of simplicity only with keys and
Fahrberechtigungssystem bezeichnet. Der Schlüssel befindet sich im Besitz des berechtigten Benutzers, womit dieser die Fahrberechtigung für das Kraftfahrzeug besitzt. Befindet sich der Benutzer mit dem Schlüssel im Innenraum des Kraftfahrzeugs, so wird entsprechend einer sogenannten Keyless Go-Funktionalität eine Authentifikation mittels eines codierten Betriebssignals zwischen dem Schlüssel und demDriving authorization system called. The key is in the possession of the authorized user, which means that the user is authorized to drive the motor vehicle. If the user is with the key in the interior of the motor vehicle, authentication is carried out according to a so-called keyless go functionality by means of a coded operating signal between the key and the
Fahrberechtigungssystem durchgeführt, nach deren erfolgreichen Abschluß der Benutzer das Kraftfahrzeug in Betrieb nehmen kann.Carried out authorization system, after successful completion of which the user can put the motor vehicle into operation.
Für die nach Authentifikation erfolgende Inbetriebnahme enthält das Zündschloß 1 ein aus einer Ausgangsstellung in wenigstens eine Betätigungsstellung bewegbares Bewegungselement 2. Das Bewegungselement 2 kann verschiebbar, drehbar oder in sonstiger geeigneter Weise bewegbar sein. Besonders bevorzugt ist jedoch ein in der Art eines Rotors drehbar ausgestaltetes Bewegungselement 2, das ohne Beschränkung hierauf nachfolgend näher betrachtet ist. Weiter enthält das Zündschloß 1 wenigstens ein Schaltelement 3, wobei der Rotor 2 in der Betätigungsstellung schaltend auf das Schaltelement 3 einwirkt. Schließlich weist das Zündschloß 1 eine in den Rotor 2 einführbare Handhabe 4 zur manuellen Bewegung des Rotors 2 durch Drehen auf.For the commissioning that takes place after authentication, the ignition lock 1 contains a movement element 2 that can be moved from an initial position into at least one actuation position. The movement element 2 can be displaceable, rotatable or can be moved in some other suitable manner. However, a movement element 2 which is designed to be rotatable in the manner of a rotor and which is considered in more detail below without limitation is particularly preferred. The ignition lock 1 also contains at least one switching element 3, the rotor 2 having a switching effect on the switching element 3 in the actuating position. Finally, the ignition lock 1 has a handle 4 which can be inserted into the rotor 2 for the manual movement of the rotor 2 by turning.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen wirkt eine Verriegelung 5 mit der Handhabe 4 in eingeführtem Zustand derart zusammen, daß die Entnahme der Handhabe 4 aus dem Rotor 2 blockiert ist. Das Zündschloß 1 ermöglicht einen Notbetrieb ohne Keyless Go-Funktionalität, indem anstelle der Handhabe 4 ein Not-Zündschlüssel oder auch der elektronische Schlüssel selbst in den Rotor 2 einsteckbar ist. Hierzu muß die Handhabe 4 aus dem Rotor 2 abgezogen werden, wozu die Verriegelung 5 zu lösen ist. Zu diesem Zweck weist nun die Handhabe 4 ein in Fig. 2 schematisch gezeigtes Betätigungselement 6 zur Freigabe der Verriegelung 5 auf, so daß nach Betätigung des Betätigungselements 6 die Handhabe 4 aus dem Rotor 2 entnehmbar ist.For safety reasons, a lock 5 interacts with the handle 4 in the inserted state in such a way that the removal of the handle 4 from the rotor 2 is blocked. The ignition lock 1 enables emergency operation without keyless go functionality, in that an emergency ignition key or the electronic key itself can be inserted into the rotor 2 instead of the handle 4. For this purpose, the handle 4 from the rotor 2 be subtracted, for which the lock 5 is to be released. For this purpose, the handle 4 now has an actuating element 6, shown schematically in FIG. 2, for releasing the lock 5, so that after actuating the actuating element 6, the handle 4 can be removed from the rotor 2.
Nachfolgend sollen verschiedene Weiterbildungen und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Zündschlosses 1 näher erläutert werden.Various further developments and expedient refinements of the ignition lock 1 according to the invention are to be explained in more detail below.
Wie in Fig. 9 zu sehen ist, kann der Rotor 2 selbstverständlich auch mehrere Betätigungsstellungen besitzen, wobei jeder Betätigungsstellung wenigstens ein Schaltelement 3 zugeordnet ist. Der Rotor 2 ist mittels der Handhabe 4 ausgehend von der Ausgangsstellung 21 in die eine Drehrichtung, die im Uhrzeigersinn verläuft, zunächst in eine erste Betätigungsstellung 22 drehbar. In der ersten Betätigungsstellung 22 wird die Zündung für den Motor des Kraftfahrzeugs eingeschaltet. In einer folgenden zweiten Betätigungsstellung 23, in die der Rotor 2 weitergedreht werden kann, wird der Motor des Kraftfahrzeugs gestartet. Wird ausgehend von der Ausgangsstellung 21 der Rotor 2 in die andere Drehrichtung, nämlich im Gegenuhrzeigersinn, in eine dritte Betätigungsstellung 24 gedreht, so wird die Zündung für den Motor des Kraftfahrzeugs ausgeschaltet. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung bietet es sich an, daß jeweils in der Betätigungsstellung 22, 23, 24 eine elastische Kraft auf den Rotor 2 einwirkt. Aufgrund dieser Kraft kehrt dann der Rotor 2 selbsttätig in die Ausgangsstellung 21 zurück, wenn die manuelle Einwirkung auf die Handhabe 4 aufhört, so daß der Rotor 2 jeweils aus der Ausgangsstellung 21 heraus zu bedienen ist. Bei der elastischen Kraft kann .es sich um eine Federkraft handeln.As can be seen in FIG. 9, the rotor 2 can of course also have a plurality of actuation positions, each actuation position being assigned at least one switching element 3. The rotor 2 can first be rotated into a first actuating position 22 by means of the handle 4, starting from the starting position 21 in the one direction of rotation, which runs clockwise. In the first actuation position 22, the ignition for the engine of the motor vehicle is switched on. The engine of the motor vehicle is started in a subsequent second actuation position 23, into which the rotor 2 can be rotated further. If, starting from the starting position 21, the rotor 2 is rotated in the other direction of rotation, namely counterclockwise, into a third actuating position 24, the ignition for the motor of the motor vehicle is switched off. In such an embodiment, it is appropriate that an elastic force acts on the rotor 2 in the actuating position 22, 23, 24. Because of this force, the rotor 2 automatically returns to the starting position 21 when the manual action on the handle 4 ceases, so that the rotor 2 can be operated from the starting position 21. The elastic force can be a spring force.
Bevorzugterweise ist die Handhabe 4 in der Art eines Zündschlüssels mit einem Bart 7 und einem Griffteil 8 ausgebildet, wie anhand von Fig. 2 näher hervorgeht. Der Rotor 2 besitzt eine in Fig. 9 sichtbare Aufnahme 20, in die der zum Einführen der Handhabe 4 in den Rotor 2 dienende Bart 7 einsteckbar ist. Der Bart 7 weist eine Kontur 9 auf, in die die Verriegelung 5 blockierend eingreift. Das Griffteil 8 ragt bei in die Aufnahme 20 eingesteckten Bart 7 aus dem Rotor 2 für die manuelle Bewegung desselben heraus, wie in Fig. 1 zu sehen ist.The handle 4 is preferably designed in the manner of an ignition key with a beard 7 and a grip part 8, as can be seen in more detail from FIG. 2. The rotor 2 has a receptacle 20 visible in FIG. 9, into which the beard 7 serving to insert the handle 4 into the rotor 2 can be inserted. The beard 7 has a contour 9, in which the locking 5 engages in a blocking manner. The grip part 8 projects into the receptacle 20 inserted beard 7 out of the rotor 2 for the manual movement of the same, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
Die Verriegelung 5 kann aus einem mit einer Feder 11 versehenen Schieber 10 bestehen, wobei in Fig. 1 die Feder 11 lediglich schematisch in dem teilweise gebrochen dargestellten Schieber 10 zu erkennen ist. Insbesondere handelt es sich dabei um einen Doppelschieber mit zwei unter der Kraft der Feder 11 gegeneinander bewegbaren Schiebern 10, 10'. Eine Nase 12 am Schieber 10, 10' greift in die Kontur 9 im Bart der Handhabe 4 ein. Zweckmäßigerweise weist die Kontur 9 im Bart 7 einen im wesentlichen horizontal bezüglich des Barts 7 verlaufenden ersten Abschnitt 9a, einen daran anschließenden, in der Art einer schiefen Ebene ansteigenden zweiten Abschnitt 9b sowie einen wiederum daran anschließenden, in der Art eines Hinterschnitts ausgestalteten dritten Abschnitt 9c auf, was in Fig. 4 oder 5 gezeigt ist. Dadurch ist der Schieber 10, 10' im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Einsteckrichtung beim Einstecken des Bartes 7 in die Aufnahme 20 am zweiten Abschnitt 9b unter Spannung der Feder 11 bewegbar. Anschließend rastet der Schieber 10, 10' mit seiner Nase 12 aufgrund der Kraft der gespannten Feder 11 im dritten Abschnitt 9c verriegelnd ein.The lock 5 can consist of a slide 10 provided with a spring 11, wherein the spring 11 can only be seen schematically in the slide 10 shown partially broken in FIG. 1. In particular, this is a double slide with two slides 10, 10 'which can be moved relative to one another under the force of the spring 11. A nose 12 on the slide 10, 10 'engages in the contour 9 in the beard of the handle 4. The contour 9 in the beard 7 expediently has a first section 9a which runs essentially horizontally with respect to the beard 7, a second section 9b which adjoins it and rises in the manner of an inclined plane, and a third section 9c which is in turn connected to it and in the manner of an undercut on what is shown in Fig. 4 or 5. As a result, the slide 10, 10 'can be moved substantially perpendicular to the direction of insertion when the beard 7 is inserted into the receptacle 20 on the second section 9b under tension of the spring 11. Subsequently, the slide 10, 10 'latches with its nose 12 due to the force of the tensioned spring 11 in the third section 9c.
Wie näher aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, kann das Betätigungselement 6 in der Art eines Schiebeelementes 13 ausgebildet sein. Das Schiebeelement 13 besitzt eine der Nase 12 zugewandte Anschrägung 14. Weiterhin ist das Schiebeelement 13 im Griffteil 8 sowie an einer Führung 15 am Bart 7 beweglich gelagert. Dadurch ist das Schiebeelement 13 in den dritten Abschnitt 9c der Kontur 9 derart einschiebbar, daß das Schiebeelement 13 mit seiner Anschrägung 14 in der Art eines Auswerfers an der Nase 12 des Schiebers 10, 10' angreift, was in Fig. 5 zu sehen ist. Dabei wird die Nase 12 mitsamt dem Schieber 10, 10' gegen die Kraft der Feder 11 unter entriegelnder Entrastung aus dem dritten Abschnitt 9c der Kontur 9 bewegt. Dieser Bewegungsablauf ist näher in Fig. 6 bis 8 gezeigt. In Fig. 6 greift die Anschrägung 14 des Schiebeelementes 13 an der im dritten Abschnitt 9c eingerasteten sowie im verriegelten Zustand befindlichen Nase 12 an. Entsprechend Fig. 7 wirkt das Schiebeelement 13 nunmehr entrastend auf die Nase 12 ein und bewegt die Nase 12 aus dem dritten Abschnitt 9c heraus. In Fig. 8 schließlich ist die Nase 12 vom dritten Abschnitt 9c in den zweiten Abschnitt 9b bewegt, wobei die Nase 12 entrastet sowie im entriegelten Zustand befindlich ist, so daß die Handhabe 4 aus dem Zündschloß 1 entnehmbar ist.As can be seen in more detail from FIG. 3, the actuating element 6 can be designed in the manner of a sliding element 13. The sliding element 13 has a bevel 14 facing the nose 12. Furthermore, the sliding element 13 is movably mounted in the grip part 8 and on a guide 15 on the beard 7. As a result, the sliding element 13 can be inserted into the third section 9c of the contour 9 such that the sliding element 13 engages with its bevel 14 in the manner of an ejector on the nose 12 of the slide 10, 10 ', which can be seen in FIG. 5. The nose 12 together with the slide 10, 10 'is moved against the force of the spring 11 with unlocking release from the third section 9c of the contour 9. This sequence of movements is shown in more detail in FIGS. 6 to 8. In FIG. 6, the bevel 14 of the sliding element 13 engages the nose 12 which is engaged in the third section 9c and is in the locked state. 7, the sliding element 13 now has a detenting effect on the nose 12 and moves the nose 12 out of the third section 9c. Finally, in FIG. 8 the lug 12 is moved from the third section 9c into the second section 9b, the lug 12 being released and in the unlocked state, so that the handle 4 can be removed from the ignition lock 1.
Wie weiter aus Fig. 4 hervorgeht, ist eine Drucktaste 16 im Griffteil 8 am Schiebeelement 13 angebracht, so daß der Benutzer das Schiebeelement 13 über die Drucktaste 16 manuell betätigen kann. Die Betätigung erfolgt gegen die Kraft einer Druckfeder 17, die sich im Griffteil 8 am Bart 7 abstützt. Es kann sich anbieten, die Drucktaste 16 an der dem Bart 7 gegenüberliegenden Frontseite 18 des Griffteils 8 anzuordnen, womit ein versehentliches Betätigen des Betätigungselements 6 durch den Benutzer bei der manuellen Bewegung der Handhabe 4 verhindert ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Drucktaste 16 im wesentlichen bündig mit der Frontseite 18 des Griffteils 8 angeordnet, wie insbesondere der Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist. An dem der Frontseite 18 zugeordneten Teil der Drucktaste 16 kann ein insbesondere in Fig. 2 gezeigtes Symbol 19, wie beispielsweise das Firmenlogo des Kraftfahrzeugherstellers o. dgl., angebracht sein. Es kann sich anbieten, das Symbol 19 in der Art eines in Fig. 3 gezeigten Einsatzteiles an der Drucktaste 16 anzuordnen. Das Einsatzteil sowie der Bart 7 können aus Metall bestehen, während die Drucktaste 16 sowie das Griffteil 8 aus Kunststoff hergestellt sein können.As can further be seen from FIG. 4, a pushbutton 16 is attached to the sliding element 13 in the grip part 8, so that the user can manually actuate the sliding element 13 via the pushbutton 16. The actuation takes place against the force of a compression spring 17, which is supported in the grip part 8 on the beard 7. It may be appropriate to arrange the pushbutton 16 on the front 18 of the handle part 8 opposite the beard 7, thus preventing the actuating element 6 from being actuated inadvertently by the user during the manual movement of the handle 4. The pushbutton 16 is expediently arranged essentially flush with the front side 18 of the handle part 8, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2. A symbol 19, in particular shown in FIG. 2, such as the company logo of the motor vehicle manufacturer or the like, can be attached to the part of the pushbutton 16 assigned to the front side 18. It may be advisable to arrange the symbol 19 on the push button 16 in the manner of an insert part shown in FIG. 3. The insert part and the beard 7 can be made of metal, while the push button 16 and the handle part 8 can be made of plastic.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das beschriebene und dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Sie umfaßt vielmehr auch alle fachmännischen Weiterbildungen im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedankens. So kann die Erfindung nicht nur an Zündschlössern für beliebige Fahrzeuge Verwendung finden, sondern auch an sonstigen Schlössern, beispielsweise solchen die an Arbeitsmaschinen, Werkzeugmaschinen o. dgl. angeordnet sind, eingesetzt werden. The invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment described and illustrated. Rather, it also includes all professional training within the scope of the inventive concept. Thus, the invention can be used not only on ignition locks for any vehicle, but also on other locks, for example those which are arranged on work machines, machine tools or the like.
