Description

Die Neuerung betrifft ein Gurtschloß für Sicherheitsgurt­systeme, insbesondere kleinbauendes Schloß, bestehend aus einem Schloßgehäuse mit einem einen Auswerfer enthaltenen Schließmechanismus, mit einer Auslösetaste und mit wenig­stens einer Öse zur Befestigung eines ersten Gurtbandendes, wobei das Gehäuse und die Taste aus Kunststoff bestehen, und aus wenigstens zwei weiteren, durch den Mechanismus in Arbeitsstellung gehaltenen Endstücken für weitere Gurt­bandenden, wobei die Endstücke je einen Rastarm aufweisen und die Rastarme in vorbestimmter Stecklage zueinander in der Arbeitsstellung gehalten und mittels der Auslösetaste unter Mitwirkung eienr den Auswerfer betätigenden Metall­feder entriegelbar sind.The innovation relates to a belt buckle for seat belt systems, in particular a small-sized buckle, consisting of a buckle housing with a locking mechanism containing an ejector, with a release button and with at least one eyelet for fastening a first end of the webbing, the housing and the button being made of plastic, and at least two further end pieces held by the mechanism in the working position for further webbing ends, the end pieces each having a latching arm and the latching arms being held in a predetermined plug-in position relative to one another in the working position and unlockable by means of the release button with the assistance of a metal spring actuating the ejector.

Bei den kleinbauenden Gurtschlössern für Sicherheitsgurt­systeme, die in der Regel bei für Kleinkinder gedachten Gurtsystemen in Kraftfahrzeugen verwendet werden, besteht der gesamte Schließmechanismus aus verchromten, stählernen Einzelteilen. Ferner ist die Auslösetaste im Bereich der Oberseite des Schloßgehäuses vorgesehen.Small belt buckles for seat belt systems, which are usually intended for small children Belt systems used in motor vehicles, the entire locking mechanism consists of chrome-plated, steel parts. Furthermore, the release button is provided in the area of the top of the lock housing.

Die metallenen Einzelteile des Schließmechanismus bedingen relativ hohe Herstellungskosten und führen zu einem ent­sprechend erhöhten Gesamtgewicht des Gurtschlosses, was für ein gesichertes Kleinkind insbesondere bei längerer Autofahrt meistens zu einer störenden Belastung wird. Da sich die Auslösetaste im Bereich der Oberseite des Schloß­gehäuses befindet, wirkt der Daumendruck auf die Taste zum Öffnen des Schlosses auch auf den Bauch des Kleinkindes, was verständlicherweise für das Kind dementsprechend unan­genehm ist; es sei denn, die Handbetätigung des Schlosses zum Öffnen wird so vorgenommen, daß der Zeigefinger als Widerlager hinter dem Schloßgehäuse positioniert und die Taste dann mit dem Daumen gedrückt wird, was jedoch um­ständlich ist.The metal individual parts of the locking mechanism result in relatively high manufacturing costs and lead to a correspondingly increased total weight of the buckle, which for a secured toddler, especially when driving for a long time, usually becomes a disturbing burden. There the release button is in the area of the top of the lock housing, the thumb pressure on the button for opening the lock also affects the stomach of the toddler, which is understandably uncomfortable for the child; unless the lock is opened manually so that the index finger is positioned as an abutment behind the lock housing and the key is then pressed with the thumb, which is, however, inconvenient.

Die Aufgabe der Neuerung besteht in der Verbesserung eines Gurtschlosses der einleitend angeführten Art dahingehend, daß das Gurtschloß unter Beibehaltung seiner kompakten Bau­weise und seiner mechanischen Festigkeit billiger herstell­bar, leichter im Gewicht sowie bedienungsgerechter gestaltet ist.The object of the innovation is to improve a buckle of the type mentioned in the introduction so that the buckle is cheaper to manufacture while maintaining its compact design and mechanical strength, lighter in weight and more user-friendly.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe geht von dem einleitend ange­führten Gurtschloß aus und kennzeichnet sich dadurch, daß das gesamte Gurtschloß mit Ausnahme der Auswerferfeder aus Kunststoff besteht, daß die Rastarme der Endstücke als in Einstecklage übereinanderliegende und so in den Schließ­mechanismus eingreifende Rastzungen ausgebildet sind, daß der Schließmechanismus sich gegenüberliegende, die Rast­zungen der Endstücke zwischen sich aufnehmende, federnde Gegenrastzungen aufweist und daß die die Rastzungen der Endstücke entriegelnde Auslösetaste auf der einen seitli­chen Schmalseite des Schloßgehäuses vorgesehen ist.The solution to this problem is based on the belt buckle mentioned in the introduction and is characterized in that the entire belt buckle, with the exception of the ejector spring, is made of plastic, that the latching arms of the end pieces are designed as latching tongues lying one above the other in the inserted position and so engaging in the closing mechanism, that the closing mechanism opposite, the latching tongues of the end pieces between resilient counter latching tongues and that the release button unlocking the latching tongues of the end pieces is provided on the one narrow side of the lock housing.

In bevorzugter Weitergestaltung des Gegenstandes nach der Neuerung weist die Rastzunge jedes Endstückes eine quer zu ihrer Längserstreckung nach auswärts vorstehende Rast­nase auf, die mit einer Anschlagschulter der entsprechenden Gegenrastzunge des Schließmechanismus in Eingriff bring­bar ist bzw. steht. Die Gegenrastzungen weisen ferner an ihrem freien Endbereich einwärts gerichtete Endteile auf und die seitliche Auslösetaste ist mit einem mit den ge­nannten Endteilen zusammenwirkenden Spreizelement zum Auseinanderbewegen der Gegenrastzungen zwecks Entriegelung versehen. Nach einem weiteren bevorzugten Merkmal ist das Schloßgehäuse auf seiner anderen seitlichen Schmalseite, die der Auslösetaste gegenüberliegt, mit einer Griffmulde versehen.In a preferred further development of the object according to the innovation, the latching tongue of each end piece has a latching nose which projects outwards transversely to its longitudinal extension and which has a stop shoulder of the corresponding one Counter locking tongue of the locking mechanism can be brought into engagement or stands. The counter-latching tongues also have inward-facing end parts at their free end region, and the lateral release button is provided with a spreading element which interacts with the mentioned end parts for moving the counter-latching tongues apart for the purpose of unlocking. According to a further preferred feature, the lock housing is provided with a recessed grip on its other narrow side, which lies opposite the release button.

Ein derartiges Gurtschloß ist unter Beibehaltung seiner Kompaktheit und seiner mechanischen Festigkeit erheblich leichter im Gewicht und mit wesentlich geringeren Kosten herzustellen, da mit Ausnahme der Auswerferfeder alle anderen Bauteile aus Kunststoff bestehen. Auch ist die Öffnungsbedienung des Gurtschlosses schneller und kindge­rechter, da der Öffnungsdruck nun parallel zur Schloß­flächenerstreckung erfolgt. Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, daß die miteinander unverwechselbar zusammenwirkenden Gurt­band- Endstücke die Kompaktheit des Gurtschlosses nicht negativ beeinflussen, da die Rastarme dieser Endstücke zur Verrastung in das Schloßgehäuse einsteckbar ausgebil­det sind.Such a buckle is considerably lighter in weight and at a much lower cost while maintaining its compactness and mechanical strength, since with the exception of the ejector spring all other components are made of plastic. Opening the belt buckle is also quicker and more child-friendly, since the opening pressure is now parallel to the length of the buckle. Another advantage is that the unmistakably interacting belt end pieces do not negatively affect the compactness of the belt buckle, since the locking arms of these end pieces are designed to be inserted into the lock housing for latching.

Die Neuerung ist nachstehend anhand eines in den anliegen­den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 einen Längsschnitt durch das Ausführungsbeispiel,
  • Figur 2 einen Querschnitt nach der Linie II-II in Figur 1,
  • Figur 3 eine Aufsicht auf zwei zusammengefügte Gurtband-­Endstücke,
  • Figur 4 einen Schnitt nach der Linie IV-IV in Figur 3,
  • Figur 5 eine vereinfachte Ansicht gemäß dem Pfeil A in Figur 4.
The innovation is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through the exemplary embodiment,
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section along the line II-II in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of two assembled belt end pieces,
  • FIG. 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in FIG. 3,
  • 5 shows a simplified view according to arrow A in FIG. 4.

Gemäß Figur 1 besteht das dargestellte Gurtschloß, das hauptsächlich für Sicherheitsgurtsysteme in Kraftfahrzeugen verwendet wird, und zwar für Gurtsysteme für Kleinkinder, aus einem Schloßgehäuse 1 aus Kunststoff, das in üblicher Weise eine Öse 2 zur Befestigung eines ersten Gurtbandendes aufweist, aus einem allgemein mit 3 bezeichneten Schließme­chanismus sowie aus zwei weiteren Gurtband-Endstücken 4 und 5 für weitere Gurtbandenden, die daran in bekannter Weise befestigt werden. Da diese Schlösser vorwiegend für Gurt­systeme für Kleinkinder verwendet werden, weisen diese Schlösser eine kleine Baugröße auf. Der nach dem Einrast­prinzip aufgebaute Schließmechanismus 3 besteht aus einer oberen Gegenrastzunge 6, aus einer unteren Gegenrastzunge 7, aus einem Auswerfer 8 und aus einer Auswerferfeder 9, die sich einerseits in einem Sackloch 10 des Auswerfers und andererseits an einem Wandteil 11 des Mechanismus 3 abstützt. Zur Ausbildung der Befestigungsöse 2 besitzt der Rahmen des Mechanismus 3 einen Quersteg 12, an dem das genannte erste Gurtbandende in an sich bekannter Weise be­festigt wird.According to FIG. 1, the belt buckle shown, which is mainly used for seat belt systems in motor vehicles, namely for belt systems for small children, consists of a buckle housing 1 made of plastic, which in the usual way has an eyelet 2 for fastening a first webbing end, generally with a third designated locking mechanism and two further webbing end pieces 4 and 5 for further webbing ends, which are attached to it in a known manner. Since these locks are mainly used for belt systems for small children, these locks are small in size. The locking mechanism 3 constructed according to the latching principle consists of an upper counter-latching tongue 6, a lower counter-latching tongue 7, an ejector 8 and an ejector spring 9 which is supported on the one hand in a blind hole 10 of the ejector and on the other hand on a wall part 11 of the mechanism 3. To form the fastening eyelet 2, the frame of the mechanism 3 has a crossbar 12, to which the said first end of the webbing is fastened in a manner known per se.

Die beiden Gurtband-Endstücke 4, 5 bestehen aus zwei Rast­armen 13 und 14, die gemäß Figur 1 übereinanderliegend in den Schließmechanismus 3 eingreifen und an ihrem Außenende an sich bekannte Ösenteile 15 aufweisen, mit denen die vor­genannten, weiteren Gurtbandenden in an sich bekannter Weise befestigt werden. Die Rastarme 13 und 14 sind als flache Rastzungen ausgebildet, die übereinanderliegend zusammenge­fügt werden und hierzu in vorbestimmter Weise derart aus­gebildet sind, um zu sichern, daß sie nur in richtiger Lage zueinander in den Mechanismus 3 eingesteckt werden können, wobei ferner selbstverständlich gesichert ist, daß auch das Einstecken nur in bestimmter Lage erfolgen kann.The two webbing end pieces 4, 5 consist of two locking arms 13 and 14 which, as shown in FIG. 1, engage one another in the closing mechanism 3 and have eyelet parts 15 known per se at their outer end, with which the aforementioned further webbing ends are fastened in a manner known per se will. The locking arms 13 and 14 are designed as flat locking tongues, which are assembled one above the other and are designed in a predetermined manner for this purpose to ensure that they are only in the correct position can be plugged into each other in the mechanism 3, it also being ensured, of course, that the plugging in can also take place only in a certain position.

Wie aus den Figuren 1, 3 und 4 gut zu erkennen ist, weisen die Rastzungen 13 und 14 an ihrem inneren Ende eine quer zu ihrer Längserstreckung nach auswärts vorstehende Rast­nase 16 bzw. 17 auf, die mit einer Anschlagschulter 18 bzw. 19 der Gegenrastzungen 6 bzw. 7 zur Anlage kommen. An einem seitlichen Ende der Rastnasen ist ein Vorsprung 20 vorgesehen, wobei sich beide Vorsprünge 20 direkt gegen­überliegen, wodurch gesichert ist, daß die Rastzungen 13, 14 und damit die Gurtband-Endstücke 4, 5 nur in bestimmter Lage in den Mechanismus 3 eingesteckt werden können. Es ist klar, daß die Gegenrastzungen 6 und 7 des Mechanismus 3 den freien Durchgang der Vorsprünge 20 beim Ein- und Ausrasten der Gurtband-Endstücke 4, 5 gestatten. Wie Figur 1 zeigt, liegt der Auswerfer 8 an den Rastnasen 16, 17 an, um die Gurtband-Endstücke 4, 5 auswerfen zu können, wie noch er­läutert ist.As can be clearly seen from FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the latching tongues 13 and 14 have at their inner end a latching nose 16 and 17 which projects outwards transversely to their longitudinal extension and which has a stop shoulder 18 and 19 of the counter latching tongues 6 or 7 come to the plant. At one side end of the locking lugs a projection 20 is provided, with both projections 20 lying directly opposite one another, which ensures that the locking tongues 13, 14 and thus the belt end pieces 4, 5 can only be inserted into the mechanism 3 in a certain position . It is clear that the counter-latching tongues 6 and 7 of the mechanism 3 permit the free passage of the projections 20 when the belt end pieces 4, 5 are snapped in and out. As FIG. 1 shows, the ejector 8 bears against the detents 16, 17 in order to be able to eject the belt end pieces 4, 5, as will be explained.

Mit Ausnahme der Metallfeder 9 bestehen sämtliche anderen, vorstehend beschriebenen Bestandteile des Gurtschlosses aus Kunststoff.With the exception of the metal spring 9, all other components of the buckle described above are made of plastic.

Die Gegenrastzungen 6 und 7 des Schließmechanismus 3 sind federnd ausgebildet, indem entsprechendes Kunststoffmaterial hierfür verwendet wird, und besitzen schräge Gleitflächen 21 und 22, so daß diese Zungen auseinandergespreizt werden können, wenn die Rastnasen 16 und 17 der Gurtband-Endstücke 4, 5 daran entlanggleiten. Vorzugsweise sind auch die Rast­nasen mit schrägen Gleitflächen 23 und 24 versehen.The counter-latching tongues 6 and 7 of the closing mechanism 3 are designed to be resilient by using appropriate plastic material for this purpose, and have inclined sliding surfaces 21 and 22, so that these tongues can be spread apart when the latching lugs 16 and 17 of the belt end pieces 4, 5 slide along them . The locking lugs are preferably also provided with inclined sliding surfaces 23 and 24.

In Figur 1 ist das gesamte Gurtschloß in zusammengestecktem und verrastetem Zustand dargestellt. Damit nun die Endstücke 4, 5 entriegelt werden können, sind die Gegenrastzungen 6 und 7 mit einwärts vorspringenden Endteilen 25 bzw. 26 versehen, die die Rastnasen 16 und 17 nach vorne überragen. Gemäß Figur 2 sind die Endteile 25, 26 mit einer seitlichen Anschrägung 27 versehen, wobei diese Anschrägungen eine V-förmige Einkerbung bilden. Mit dieser Einkerbung arbeitet ein entsprechend geformtes Spreizelement 28 einer aus Kunst­stoff bestehenden Auslösetaste 29 zusammen. Es ist klar, daß, wenn die Taste 29 gedrückt wird, sich die Gegenrast­zungen 6 und 7 auseinanderbewegen, so daß die Gurtband-­Endstücke 4, 5 ausgeworfen werden können. Um die Kompakt­heit des Gurtschlosses zu erhalten oder sogar noch zu verkleinern, ist der Auswerfer 8 innerhalb des Mechanismus 3 seitlich angeordnet, wie Figur 2 zeigt. Somit liegt der Auswerfer 7 der Auslösetaste 29 im wesentlichen gegenüber. Figur 2 zeigt ebenfalls, daß die Auslösetaste 29 auf der einen seitlichen Schmalseite des Schloßgehäuses 1 vorgese­hen ist, während auf der gegenüberliegenden, anderen seit­lichen Schmalseite des Schloßgehäuses eine Griffmulde 30 vorgesehen ist. Zum Öffnen kann das Gurtschloß nun so er­faßt werden, indem der Zeigefinger in die Griffmulde 30 greift, während der Daumen derselben Hand auf die Auslöse­taste 29 drückt. Dadurch wird das Schloß geöffnet. Das Verriegeln der Gurtband-Endstücke 4, 5 erfolgt dadurch, daß diese Endstücke mit ihren Zungen 13 und 14 in den Mechanismus 3 eingesteckt werden, wobei sich die Gegen­rastzungen 6 und 7 zunächst auseinanderbewegen und dann, wenn die Endlage der Rastnasen 16 und 17 erreicht ist, wieder zurückfedern, so daß die Rastnasen mit den Anschlag­schultern 18 und 19 zusammenwirken.In Figure 1, the entire belt buckle is shown in the assembled and locked state. So that the end pieces 4, 5 can now be unlocked, the counter-latching tongues 6 and 7 are provided with inwardly projecting end parts 25 and 26, which project beyond the latching lugs 16 and 17 to the front. According to FIG. 2, the end parts 25, 26 are provided with a lateral bevel 27, these bevels forming a V-shaped notch. A correspondingly shaped expansion element 28 of a release button 29 made of plastic cooperates with this notch. It is clear that when the button 29 is pressed, the counter-latching tongues 6 and 7 move apart, so that the belt end pieces 4, 5 can be ejected. In order to maintain or even reduce the compactness of the belt buckle, the ejector 8 is arranged laterally within the mechanism 3, as shown in FIG. 2. The ejector 7 is thus essentially opposite the release button 29. Figure 2 also shows that the release button 29 is provided on one side narrow side of the lock housing 1, while a recessed grip 30 is provided on the opposite, other narrow side of the lock housing. To open the seat belt buckle, the index finger can now be gripped in the recessed grip 30 while the thumb of the same hand presses the release button 29. This will open the lock. The locking of the webbing end pieces 4, 5 takes place in that these end pieces are inserted with their tongues 13 and 14 into the mechanism 3, the counter-latching tongues 6 and 7 initially moving apart and then when the end position of the latching lugs 16 and 17 is reached spring back again so that the locking lugs interact with the stop shoulders 18 and 19.

Um ein störendes, gegebenenfalls mögliches Klappern der Auslösetaste 29 zu vermeiden, wenn diese sich in ihrer Ausgangsstellung befindet, kann die Taste mit einer vor­zugsweise angespritzten Feder 31 versehen sein. Die Feder stützt sich andererseits im Innern des Schlosses ab, z.B. am Schloßgehäuse 1 oder am Schloßmechanismus 3.In order to avoid a disruptive, possibly possible rattling of the release button 29 when it is in its initial position, the button can be provided with a preferably injection-molded spring 31. On the other hand, the spring is supported in the interior of the lock, e.g. on the lock housing 1 or on the lock mechanism 3.

Aus den Figuren 1 bis 5 in Verbindung mit der vorstehenden Beschreibung ergibt sich, daß der Schließmechanismus 3 kompakt aufgebaut ist und daß auch das Gehäuse 1 eine stei­fe Form aufweist, indem die großflächigen Ober- und Unter­seiten des Schloßgehäuses 1 keine Durchbrechung aufweisen, so daß dadurch eine insgesamt mechanisch feste Schloßkon­struktion vorliegt.From Figures 1 to 5 in connection with the above description it follows that the locking mechanism 3 is of compact construction and that the housing 1 also has a rigid shape in that the large top and bottom sides of the lock housing 1 have no opening, so that thereby there is an overall mechanically strong lock construction.
