Abstract

The door lock comprises a blocking element (17) which is formed as bolting device which is controlled by a rotary catch (1). When the locking lever (18) is in the releasing position, the bolting device engages into a recess (20) of the locking lever in order to block it. The blocking element is connected to an intermediate member (5) which can be acted upon by the rotary catch.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss, mit einem Gesperre aus im Wesentlichen Drehfalle und Sperrklinke, und mit einem Sperrelement für einen Verriegelungshebel, wobei das Sperrelement bei geöffneter Drehfalle verhindert, dass der Verriegelungshebel seine Verriegelungsposition einnimmt. - In der Regel sorgt das Sperrelement dafür, dass der Verriegelungshebel bei offener bzw. geöffneter Drehfalle in seiner Entriegelungsposition verbleibt.The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, with a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a catch and a pawl, and with a locking element for a locking lever, wherein the locking element prevents the locking lever is open, the locking lever assumes its locking position. As a rule, the blocking element ensures that the locking lever remains in its unlocking position when the catch is open or opened.

Bei einem Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss der eingangs beschriebenen Ausführungsform entsprechend der DE 199 34 128 A1 wird ein spezieller Hub des Innentürgriffes benötigt, um einen zugehörigen Zentralverriegelungshebel in dessen verriegelte Stellung überführen zu können. Außerdem ist es durch die gemäß § 3 (2) PatG zu berücksichtigende DE-Patentanmeldung DE 102 40 003 bekannt, eine Drehfalle in Kombination mit einem Sperrhebel zu einer Baueinheit zusammenzufassen.In a motor vehicle door lock of the embodiment described above according to the DE 199 34 128 A1 a special stroke of the inner door handle is needed to convert an associated central locking lever in its locked position can. In addition, it is to be taken into account in accordance with § 3 (2) PatG DE patent application DE 102 40 003 known to combine a catch in combination with a locking lever to form a unit.

Dadurch will man insgesamt erreichen, dass bei geöffneter Tür und folglich offener Drehfalle der betreffende Verriegelungshebel seine Verriegelungsstellung nicht einnehmen kann. Denn das könnte dazu führen, dass auch die Drehfalle geschlossen wird. Das wiederum hätte dann zur Folge, dass die beispielsweise manuell geschlossene Kraftfahrzeugtür gegen den obligatorischen Schließbolzen anschlägt, weil die Drehfalle nicht mehr offen ist.As a result, one wants to achieve a total that with the door open and consequently open catch the relevant locking lever can not assume its locking position. Because that could lead to the fact that the catch is closed. This in turn would have the consequence that, for example, manually closed motor vehicle door strikes against the mandatory locking pin, because the catch is no longer open.

Die bisherigen Ausführungsformen können nicht in allen Punkten überzeugen. Denn sie greifen auf zumeist aufwendige Konstruktionen zurück. Hier will die Erfindung insgesamt Abhilfe schaffen.The previous embodiments can not convince in all points. Because they rely on mostly complex constructions back. Here, the invention aims to provide a total remedy.

Weiterhin ist aus EP-A-0 769 599 einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt.Furthermore, it is off EP-A-0 769 599 a motor vehicle door lock according to the preamble of claim 1 known.

Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss der eingangs beschriebenen Ausgestaltung so weiter zu entwickeln, dass auf einfache Art und Weise verhindert wird, dass der Verriegelungshebel seine Verriegelungsposition einnimmt.The invention is based on the technical problem of further developing a motor vehicle door lock of the embodiment described at the beginning in such a way that it is prevented in a simple manner that the locking lever assumes its locking position.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung schlägt die Erfindung einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss gemäß Anspruch 1 vor.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a motor vehicle door lock according to claim 1.

Im Gegensatz zu der DE 102 40 003 fährt die erfindungsgemäße Verriegelungssperre bzw. das Sperrelement also aktiv in die betreffende Aussparung des Verriegelungshebels ein. Ein gegenseitiges Anschlagen und Blockieren der Verriegelungssperre und des Verriegelungshebels findet also nicht statt. Dadurch wird unter allen Umständen gewährleistet, dass der Verriegelungshebel seine Entriegelungsposition beibehält, solange nämlich die Verriegelungssperre bzw. das Sperrelement in die betreffende Aussparung des Verriegelungshebels zu seiner Blockade eingreift. Erst wenn die Verriegelungssperre die betreffende Aussparung verlässt, ist der Verriegelungshebel in der Lage, beispielsweise in die Verriegelungsstellung überzugehen.Unlike the DE 102 40 003 the locking lock according to the invention or the blocking element therefore actively moves into the relevant recess of the locking lever. A mutual striking and blocking the locking lock and the locking lever does not take place. This ensures under all circumstances that the locking lever maintains its unlocked position, as long as the locking catch or the locking element engages in the relevant recess of the locking lever to its blockage. Only when the locking lock leaves the relevant recess, the locking lever is able to move, for example, in the locked position.

Im Detail handelt es sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verriegelungssperre um einen im Wesentlichen linear bewegbaren Schubhebel, welcher an ein von der Drehfalle beaufschlagtes Zwischenelement angeschlossen sein ist. Zusammengenommen bilden der linear bewegbare Schubhebel und das in der Regel als um eine Achse drehbarer Zwischenhebel ausgebildete Zwischenelement erfindungsgemäß einen Kurbeltrieb.In detail, the locking lock according to the invention is a substantially linearly movable thrust lever, which is connected to an intermediate element acted upon by the rotary latch. Taken together, the linearly movable thrust lever and the intermediate element, which is generally designed as an intermediate lever which can be rotated about an axis, form a crank mechanism according to the invention.

Dieser Kurbeltrieb wird von der Drehfalle beaufschlagt, so dass die Verriegelungssperre bzw. der Schubhebel die beschriebenen Linearbewegungen vollführt, um den Verriegelungshebel bedarfsweise in seiner Entriegelungsposition festzusetzen. Dazu verfügt die Verriegelungssperre in der Regel über eine in die Aussparung eingreifende frontseitige Nase. Zusätzlich mag sie einen frontseitigen Anschlag zur Begrenzung ihres Weges besitzen, welcher bei in die Aussparung eingefahrener Nase seine Wirkung entfaltet. Das heißt, der vorgenannte Anschlag sorgt dafür, dass die blockierende Bewegung des Schubhebels bzw. der Verriegelungssperre eine Begrenzung erfährt, nämlich dann, wenn der Anschlag bei in die Aussparung eingefahrener Nase gegen den Verriegelungshebel zur Anlage kommt.This crank mechanism is acted upon by the rotary latch, so that the locking lock or the push lever performs the linear movements described to set the locking lever, if necessary, in its unlocked position. For this purpose, the locking lock usually has an engaging in the recess front nose. In addition, she may have a front stop to limit their path, which unfolds when retracted into the recess nose its effect. That is, the abovementioned stop ensures that the blocking movement of the push lever or the locking lock experiences a limitation, namely when the stop comes into contact with the locking lever when the nose is retracted into the recess.

Um die im Wesentlichen lineare Bewegung der Verriegelungssperre bzw. des Schubhebels darstellen zu können, wird die Verriegelungssperre üblicherweise auf einem Einsatz bzw. Einlaufeinsatz geführt. Dieser Einlaufeinsatz ist in ein Gehäuse bzw. den Schlosskasten des Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlusses eingesetzt und sorgt für die funktionssichere Führung des Schließbolzens bei seinem Weg in Richtung auf die Drehfalle und hiervon weg. Der Einlaufeinsatz mag als in Richtung auf die Drehfalle geöffneter Kunststoffeinsatz ausgeführt sein, welcher über eine Führungsfläche im Bereich der Verriegelungssperre verfügt.In order to represent the substantially linear movement of the locking lock or the push lever, the locking lock is usually performed on an insert or inlet insert. This inlet insert is in a housing or the lock case of the motor vehicle door lock used and ensures the functionally reliable leadership of the locking bolt on his way towards the catch and away from it. The inlet insert may be designed as open in the direction of the rotary plastic insert, which has a guide surface in the locking lock.

Zusätzlich zu dem Anschlag besitzt die Verriegelungssperre ergänzend eine Aussparung für einen Lagerzapfen des Zwischenelementes. Sowohl der Anschlag als auch die Aussparung definieren die jeweiligen Endstellungen der Verriegelungssperre und begrenzen diese. Denn die Verriegelungssperre lässt sich zwischen der zurückgezogenen und den Verriegelungshebel freigebenden und der vorgeschobenen und den Verriegelungshebel blockierenden Endstellung hin- und herbewegen. Dabei definiert die Aussparung die zurückgezogene und den Verriegelungshebel freigebende Position, während der Anschlag mit der vorgeschobenen und den Verriegelungshebel blockierenden Endstellung der Verriegelungssperre korrespondiert.In addition to the stop, the locking lock additionally has a recess for a bearing journal of the intermediate element. Both the stop and the recess define the respective end positions of the locking lock and limit it. Because the locking lock can be between the retracted and the locking lever releasing and the advanced and the locking lever blocking end position back and forth. In this case, the recess defines the retracted and the locking lever releasing position, while the stop corresponds to the advanced and the locking lever blocking end position of the locking lock.

Im Ergebnis wird ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss zur Verfügung gestellt, der über ein Sperrelement bzw. eine Verriegelungssperre verfügt, die den Verriegelungshebel und folglich das gesamte Verriegelungshebelwerk funktionssicher in der Entriegelungsposition hält, sofern sich die Drehfalle in ihrer offenen Position befindet. Nur dann, wenn die Drehfalle geschlossen ist, wird der Verriegelungshebel freigegebenen und kann folgerichtig seine Stellung "verriegelt" einnehmen. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.As a result, a motor vehicle door latch is provided which has a locking member or latch which operatively holds the latch lever and hence the entire latch lever assembly in the unlatched position when the latch is in its open position. Only then, when the catch is closed, the locking lever is released and can logically take his position "locked". Here are the main benefits.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert; es zeigen:

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing showing only one exemplary embodiment; show it:

In den Figuren ist ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss dargestellt, der in seinem grundsätzlichen Aufbau über ein Gesperre 1, 2 aus Drehfalle 1 und Sperrklinke 2 verfügt. Das Gesperre 1, 2 wechselwirkt mit einem lediglich in Fig. 1 angedeuteten Schließbolzen 3 in üblicher Art und Weise. Um die Position der Drehfalle 1 abfragen zu können, ist ein Sensor 4 vorgesehen, der im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels als Mikroschalter 4 ausgebildet ist.In the figures, a motor vehicle door lock is shown, which has a locking mechanism 1, 2 of rotary latch 1 and pawl 2 in its basic structure. The locking mechanism 1, 2 interacts with a merely in Fig. 1 indicated latch bolt 3 in the usual manner. In order to query the position of the rotary latch 1, a sensor 4 is provided, which is formed in the embodiment as a micro-switch 4.

Zwischen dem Sensor bzw. Mikroschalter 4 und der abzufragenden Drehfalle 1 findet sich ein Zwischenelement 5, welches die Bewegungen der Drehfalle 1 auf den Sensor 4 überträgt. Das Zwischenelement 5 ist im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels als Zwischenhebel 5 mit im Wesentlichen kreisförmiger bis ovaler Gesamtgestaltung ausgeführt. Grundsätzlich können natürlich jedwede Zwischenelemente 5 realisiert werden, die in der Lage sind, die Drehbewegungen der Drehfalle 1 auf den Sensor bzw. Mikroschalter 4 zu übertragen. Denkbar ist es hier, mit beispielsweise Stellstangen, Zahnrädern, Reibrädern, Bowdenzügen etc. zu arbeiten. Den geringsten konstruktiven Aufwand stellt jedoch der Zwischenhebel 5 entsprechend dem Ausführungsbeispiel dar.Between the sensor or microswitch 4 and the catch 1 to be interrogated, there is an intermediate element 5, which transmits the movements of the rotary catch 1 to the sensor 4. The intermediate element 5 is executed in the context of the embodiment as an intermediate lever 5 with a substantially circular to oval overall design. in principle Of course, any intermediate elements 5 can be realized which are able to transmit the rotational movements of the rotary latch 1 to the sensor or microswitch 4. It is conceivable to work with, for example, adjusting rods, gears, friction wheels, Bowden cables, etc. However, the least design effort is the intermediate lever 5 according to the embodiment.

Das Zwischenelement bzw. der Zwischenhebel 5 ist um eine Achse 6 drehbar gelagert. Die Drehfalle 1 verfügt über eine demgegenüber im Wesentlichen senkrecht angeordnete Achse 7. Durch diese winklige Anordnung der beiden Achsen 6, 7 ergibt sich, dass das Zwischenelement bzw. der Zwischenhebel 5 von der Drehfalle 1 nur innerhalb eines begrenzten Drehwinkels mitgenommen wird, um den Sensor bzw. Mikroschalter 4 auszulösen. In der Regel erfolgt die beschriebene Mitnahme dann, wenn die Drehfalle 1 die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Hauptraststellung verlässt. Dazu mag die Sperrklinke 2 (mechanisch oder motorisch) ausgehoben werden, so dass die Drehfalle 1 eine in Fig. 2 durch einen Pfeil angedeutete Drehung im Uhrzeigersinn vollführt.The intermediate element or the intermediate lever 5 is rotatably mounted about an axis 6. As a result of this angular arrangement of the two axes 6, 7, the intermediate element or the intermediate lever 5 is taken along by the rotary latch 1 only within a limited angle of rotation, around the sensor or trigger microswitch 4. In general, the described entrainment takes place when the catch 1 in the Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated main switch position leaves. For this purpose, the pawl 2 (mechanical or motor) may be excavated, so that the catch 1 a in Fig. 2 indicated by an arrow clockwise rotation performs.

Das hat zur Folge, dass ein Vorsprung 8 an der Drehfalle 1 in Eingriff mit einem Ausleger 9 am Zwischenelement bzw. Zwischenhebel 5 kommt, so dass die sich im Uhrzeigersinn drehende Drehfalle 1 den Zwischenhebel 5 in seiner Frontansicht im angedeuteten Gegenuhrzeigersinn um die Achse 6 verschwenkt. Dadurch ist eine Abfragekontur 10 am Zwischenhebel 5 für den Sensor 4 in der Lage, ein Signal ausgangsseitig des Sensors 4 zu produzieren. Eine nicht dargestellte Steueranlage wird also darüber unterrichtet, dass die Drehfalle 1 ihre Hauptraststellung verlassen hat und eine Öffnungsbewegung vollführt.This has the consequence that a projection 8 on the rotary latch 1 comes into engagement with a boom 9 on the intermediate element or intermediate lever 5, so that the rotating clockwise rotary catch 1 pivots the intermediate lever 5 in its front view in the indicated counterclockwise direction about the axis 6 , As a result, a query contour 10 on the intermediate lever 5 for the sensor 4 is able to produce a signal on the output side of the sensor 4. An unillustrated control system is thus informed that the catch 1 has left its main locking position and performs an opening movement.

Ausgehend von der Öffnungsstellung der Drehfalle 1 resultieren Schließbewegungen der Drehfalle 1 durch eine Relativbewegung zwischen dem Schließbolzen 3 und einem Einlaufmaul 11 in Drehungen des Zwischenhebels 5 in Frontansicht im Uhrzeigersinn. Im Bezugssystem des Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlusses fährt der Schließbolzen 3 in das Einlaufmaul 11 ein. In Wirklichkeit wird dieser Vorgang natürlich dadurch verursacht, dass eine Kraftfahrtzeugtür mit dem daran befindlichen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss gegenüber einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie mit dem hieran befestigten Schließbolzen bewegt wird.Starting from the open position of the catch 1 resulting closing movements of the catch 1 by a relative movement between the locking pin 3 and an inlet mouth 11 in rotations of the intermediate lever 5 in front view in a clockwise direction. In the reference system of the motor vehicle door lock, the locking pin 3 moves into the inlet opening 11. In reality, this process is of course caused by moving a motor vehicle door with the motor vehicle door closure thereon opposite a motor vehicle body with the locking bolt attached thereto.

So oder so sorgt dieser Vorgang dafür, dass der Sensor bzw. Mikroschalter 4 nicht ausgelöst wird. Grundsätzlich könnte man natürlich auch diese Bewegung bzw. das Erreichen der Häuptraststellung seitens der Drehfalle 1 ergänzend mit abfragen. Das ist jedoch nicht dargestellt. Denn es geht primär darum, die Öffnungsbewegung der Drehfalle 1 zu sensieren.Either way, this process ensures that the sensor or microswitch 4 is not triggered. In principle, one could of course also query this movement or the achievement of the Häuptraststellung part of the rotary latch 1 in addition. This is not shown. Because it is primarily about to sense the opening movement of the catch 1.

Aufgrund des realisierten Zwischenelementes bzw. Zwischenhebels 5 kann der Sensor bzw. Mikroschalter 4 an praktisch beliebiger Stelle innerhalb eines Schlossgehäuses bzw. Schlosskastens 12 angeordnet werden. Vorliegend hat sich seine Platzierung an einem L-Schenkel des Schlosskastens bzw. Schlossgehäuses 12 als günstig erwiesen. Die Drehfalle 1 gibt also nicht (mehr) die Position des Sensors 4 vor. Das Zwischenelement bzw. der Zwischenhebel 5 ist vorteilhaft im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels an einem Einsatz 13 für das Schlossgehäuse bzw. den Schlosskasten 12 gelagert. Das zeigt insbesondere die Fig. 3, wo dieser Einsatz 13 dargestellt ist. Bei dem Einsatz 13 handelt es sich um einen Einlaufeinsatz 13, also einen solchen Einsatz, welcher das Einlaufmaul 11 für den Schließbolzen 3 definiert. Bei dem Einsatz bzw. Einlaufeinsatz 13 handelt es sich um ein Kunststoffspritzgussteil mit integriertem Dämpferelement 14 für den Schließbolzen 3 sowie die Drehfalle 1.Due to the realized intermediate element or intermediate lever 5, the sensor or microswitch 4 can be arranged at virtually any point within a lock housing or lock case 12. In the present case, its placement on an L-leg of the lock case or lock housing 12 has proven to be favorable. The rotary latch 1 is therefore not (more) before the position of the sensor 4. The intermediate element or the intermediate lever 5 is advantageously mounted in the context of the embodiment on an insert 13 for the lock housing or the lock case 12. This shows in particular the Fig. 3 where this insert 13 is shown. The insert 13 is an inlet insert 13, that is to say such an insert which defines the inlet opening 11 for the locking pin 3. In the use or inlet insert 13 is a plastic injection molded part with integrated damper element 14 for the locking pin 3 and the rotary latch. 1

Dieser Einsatz bzw. Einlaufeinsatz 13 verfügt über eine Befestigungsplatte 15 mit Verlängerung, die einen Zapfen als Achse 6 aufnimmt, auf den wiederum der Zwischenhebel 5 aufgesteckt ist. Dadurch formen Einsatz 13 und Zwischenhebel 5 eine Baueinheit, die als Ganzes mit dem Schlossgehäuse bzw. Schlosskasten 12 verbunden werden kann, beispielsweise durch Rasten, Vernieten, Verschrauben, Verkleben etc.. Auch das Zwischenelement bzw. der Zwischenhebel 5 mag als Kunststoffspritzgussteil ausgeführt sein. Eine zusätzlich noch in Fig. 3 dargestellte Verstärkungsplatte 16 sorgt unter anderem für die einwandfreie Halterung der Drehfalle 1.This insert or inlet insert 13 has a mounting plate 15 with extension, which receives a pin as an axis 6, on which in turn the intermediate lever 5 is attached. As a result, insert 13 and intermediate lever 5 form a structural unit which can be connected as a whole to the lock housing or lock case 12, for example by latching, riveting, screwing, gluing etc. The intermediate element or intermediate lever 5 may also be designed as a plastic injection molded part. An additional still in Fig. 3 illustrated reinforcing plate 16 provides, inter alia, for the proper mounting of the catch 1.

Anhand der Fig. 4 und 5 wird nun die weitere Funktion des Zwischenelementes 5 deutlich. Denn dieses überträgt nicht nur Drehbewegungen der Drehfalle 1 auf den Sensor 4, sondern stellt auch eine Aufnahme für ein Sperrelement bzw. eine Verriegelungssperre 17 zur Verfügung. Diese Verriegelungssperre 17 blockiert bei geöffneter Drehfalle 1 (vgl. Fig. 4) einen Verriegelungshebel 18 mechanisch. Zu diesem Zweck greift die als Schubhebel 17 ausgeführte Verriegelungssperre 17 mit einer frontseitigen Nase 19 in eine Aussparung 20 des Verriegelungshebels 18 ein.Based on 4 and 5 now the further function of the intermediate element 5 becomes clear. Because this not only transmits rotational movements of the rotary latch 1 to the sensor 4, but also provides a receptacle for a blocking element or a locking lock 17 are available. This locking lock 17 blocked when open catch 1 (see. Fig. 4 ) a locking lever 18 mechanically. To this Purpose engages the locking lever 17 designed as a locking catch 17 with a front nose 19 in a recess 20 of the locking lever 18 a.

Befindet sich die Drehfalle 1 jedoch in ihrer geschlossenen Position, so wird die Verriegelungssperre bzw. der Schubhebel 17 von dem Zwischenhebel 5 zurückgezogen, so dass die Nase 19 die Aussparung 20 verlässt. Der Verriegelungshebel 18 ist dann frei.However, the catch 1 is in its closed position, the locking lock or the push lever 17 is withdrawn from the intermediate lever 5, so that the nose 19 leaves the recess 20. The locking lever 18 is then free.

Man erkennt, dass das Verriegelungselement bzw. der Schubhebel 17 zusammen mit dem Zwischenelement bzw. dem Zwischenhebel 5 einen Kurbeltrieb formt, welcher durch einen frontseitigen Anschlag 21 in seiner Bewegung gebremst wird. Das gilt dann, wenn die Verriegelungssperre bzw. der Schubhebel 17 in die vorgeschobene und den Verriegelungshebel 18 blockierende Endstellung bewegt wird. Denn dann kommt der Anschlag 21 an den betreffenden Verriegelungshebel 18 zur Anlage und wird folglich der Weg der Verriegelungssperre bzw. des Schubhebels 17 bei in die Aussparung 20 eingefahrener Nase 19 begrenzt.It can be seen that the locking element or the push lever 17 forms a crank drive together with the intermediate element or the intermediate lever 5, which is braked by a front stop 21 in its movement. This applies when the locking lock or the push lever 17 is moved into the advanced and the locking lever 18 blocking end position. Because then the stopper 21 comes to the relevant locking lever 18 to the system and consequently the path of the locking lock or the push lever 17 is limited when retracted into the recess 20 nose 19.

Zusätzlich verfügt die Verriegelungssperre bzw. der Schubhebel 17 über eine Aussparung 22 für einen Lagerzapfen 23 des Zwischenelementes bzw. des Zwischenhebels 5. Mit Hilfe dieser Aussparung 22 und des Lagerzapfens 23 wird eine weitere Endstellung der Verriegelungssperre 17 definiert, nämlich die zurückgezogene und den Verriegelungshebel 18 freigebende Position. Beide Endstellungen sind in den Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellt.In addition, the locking lock or the push lever 17 has a recess 22 for a bearing pin 23 of the intermediate element or the intermediate lever 5. With the help of this recess 22 and the journal 23, a further end position of the locking device 17 is defined, namely the retracted and the locking lever 18th releasing position. Both end positions are in the 4 and 5 shown.

Zwischen diesen Positionen bewegt sich der Schubhebel 17 hin und her, und zwar linear. Zu seiner Führung trägt dabei der Einlaufeinsatz bzw. Einsatz 13 mit einer entsprechenden Führungsfläche 24 bei. Das heißt, die Drehbewegungen der Drehfalle 1 werden über den Zwischenhebel 5 zunächst einmal in eine andere Ebene transformiert und hiervon ausgehend mit Hilfe des drehbar angeschlossenen Schubhebels 17 und des zwischen dem Zwischenhebel 5 und dem Schubhebel 17 realisierten Kurbeltriebes in die vorerwähnten Linearbewegungen entlang des Einsatzes 13 bzw. dessen Fläche 24 umgesetzt. Die Anbindung des Schubhebels 17 an den Zwischenhebel 5 kann dadurch geschehen, dass der Schubhebel 17 mit dem Zwischenhebel 5 vernietet oder auf den Zwischenhebel 5 aufgeclipst ist. In ähnlicher Weise lassen sich sämtliche übrigen Hebel miteinander verbinden, nämlich durch Vernieten oder Aufclipsen.Between these positions, the thrust lever 17 moves back and forth, linearly. In this case, the inlet insert or insert 13 contributes to its guidance with a corresponding guide surface 24. That is, the rotational movements of the rotary latch 1 are first transformed via the intermediate lever 5 once in another plane and from this with the help of the rotatably connected thrust lever 17 and realized between the intermediate lever 5 and the thrust lever 17 crank mechanism in the aforementioned linear movements along the insert 13th or its surface 24 implemented. The connection of the push lever 17 to the intermediate lever 5 can be done by riveting the push lever 17 to the intermediate lever 5 or clipped onto the intermediate lever 5. Similarly, all other levers can be connected together, namely by riveting or clipping.
