  • DE 196 49 473 A1 discloses a similar vehicle lock known, in which the abutment exclusively on a Base plate of the lock housing attached and the Lock housing on the base plate opposite Page open is formed.
  • the invention deals with the problem that Functioning of the generic lock on the one hand and a tolerance compensating assembly of the lock housing on the other hand.
  • Lock housing Helpful for a tolerance-compensating assembly of Lock housing is that the lock housing in open Condition mounted and only then by a cover can be closed.
  • the vehicle lock consists of a lock housing 1 and a lock housing 2.
  • Lock housing 1 When the lock is closed that is Lock housing 1 inserted into the lock housing 2.
  • This state is the lock housing 1 by a in this mounted rotary latch 3 on a striker 4 of the Lock housing 2 locked.
  • the striker 4 is on a Base plate 5 of the lock housing attached.
  • the lock housing 1 is located, for example, at one Vehicle tailgate door, while the lock housing at the Vehicle body is attached. At the vehicle body can the base plate 5 of the lock housing relative to the an already mounted tailgate predetermined position of the Lock housing 1 roughly adjusted to be fixed over Fasteners attached to the side flanges 6 of the Attack lock housing 2.
  • the lock housing 1 is in the pivoting plane of the rotary latch. 3 formed laterally trapezoidal.
  • movably mounted locking wedges 7 are provided in the base plate 5 of the lock housing 2 .
  • the slope of the striker 7 is the trapezoidal shape of the Lock housing 1 adapted so that the side surfaces of the Lock housing 1 surface locking on the locking wedges. 4 can be present.
  • the locking wedges 7 have on the base plate 5 of the Lock housing 2 a rough guide, that is a guide with a relatively large game within the guide.
  • the Guide means consist per closing wedge 7 of a in Closing direction extending bore 8 within a Locking wedge 7 and one attached to the base plate 5 Guide rod 9, which in the bore 8 with radial clearance intervenes.
  • coil springs 10 which are attached to the Support base plate 5, the locking wedges 7 are spring loaded against the closing direction of the lock housing 1 in the direction on the lock housing 2. against falling out or Take out of the lock housing 2 are the locking wedges. 7 secured.
  • This fuse can be connected by a firm connection be given to the coil springs 10, wherein these Coil springs 10 turn firmly with the base plate. 5 are connected.
  • Precautionary measures for example, by stops in the lock housing 2 may be given.
  • the closing of the lock is as follows.
  • Consists between the lock housing 1 and the lock housing second in comparison to a centric alignment an offset, so be the locking wedges 7 when closing the lock respectively inserted at different depths into the lock housing 2, whereby the desired tolerance compensation is achieved.
  • the locking wedges 7 are also at an offset between Lock and lock housings 1 and 2 spring loaded on the Contact surfaces of lock and lock housings respectively surface contact contacting. This is in Side direction, that is transverse to the closing direction, a exact fixation between lock and lock housings 1 and 2 respectively given, thereby driving the vehicle within the Castle no rattling noises can occur.
  • Insertion slot 12 through which the lock housing 1 on the Striker 4 is pushed when closing the lock.
  • This insertion slot 12 has seen in the closing direction at the front a slot region 13 tapering backwards, at the narrowest area 14 with a certain length same slot width connects.
  • This closest Slot area 14 then follows a widening again End slit area 15.
  • Through the narrowest gap area 14 can center when closing the lock relative to the lock housing 2 by means of the striker. 4 be achieved.
  • When locked lock provides the End gap area 15 that the side guide of Lock housing 1 within the lock housing second given exclusively by the lateral locking wedges 7 is.
  • These closing wedges 7, for example, on plastic while the other castle parts, as far as they are so far are described, usually made of metal.
  • the lock can be a total of open lock housing 2 on the Vehicle to be mounted. This allows adjustment work make easy at the lock.
