Description

STECKDOSE MIT EINEM KLAPPDECKELELEMENT SOCKET WITH A FOLD-OUT ELEMENT

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine dosenformiges Behälterelement vorzugsweise eine Steckdose mit einem Klappdeckelelement zum Öffnen und Verschließen des dosenformigen Behälterelements gemäß dem Oberbegriff des /Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a can-shaped container element, preferably a socket with a hinged lid element for opening and closing the can-shaped container element according to the preamble of claim 1.

Auf solche Art verschließbare dosenförmige Behälterelemente finden ganz allgemein überall dort Verwendung wo eine schnelle und einfache Verschließmöglichkeit gefragt ist, um Verschmutzung des im dosenformigen Behälterelement aufbewahrten Materials bzw. der dort befindlichen Einbauten zu verhindern. Ein typisches Anwendungsgebiet sind mittels eines Klappdeckelelements verschließbare Steckdosen sowohl für den industriellen als auch für den Hausgebrauch. Um ein Verschmutzen der Steckdose zu verhindern sind diese Steckdosen mittels Klappdeckelelement verschließbar. Das Klappdeckelelement ist dabei mittels einer in einem Federkasten gelagerten Torsionsfeder vorgespannt, die den Klappdeckel in Richtung der Öffnung der Steckdose drückt, so dass ein versehentliches Öffnen des Klappdecke Lelements nicht möglich ist. Lässt der Benutzer das Klappdeckelelement aus der geöffneten Stellung los, so wird dieser automatisch an die entsprechende Stirnseite der Steckdose gepresst.Can-shaped container elements which can be closed in this way are generally used wherever a quick and easy locking option is required in order to prevent contamination of the material stored in the can-shaped container element or of the internals located there. A typical area of application is socket outlets which can be closed by means of a hinged cover element, both for industrial and for domestic use. To prevent the socket from becoming dirty, these sockets can be closed by means of a hinged cover element. The hinged cover element is preloaded by means of a torsion spring mounted in a spring box, which presses the hinged cover in the direction of the opening of the socket, so that accidental opening of the hinged cover Lelement is not possible. If the user releases the hinged lid element from the open position, it is automatically pressed against the corresponding end face of the socket.

Die Lagerung des Klappdeckelelements am Behälterelement erfolgt bei bekannten solchen Kombinationen in vielen Fällen unsymmetrisch und/oder ist sehr filigran ausgeführt. Dies führt dazu, dass die Verbindung zwischen Klappdeckelement und Behälterelement oft zerstört wird und daher nicht mehr verwendet werden kann.The storage of the hinged lid element on the container element takes place asymmetrically and / or is made very filigree in many such known combinations. This means that the connection between the hinged cover element and the container element is often destroyed and can therefore no longer be used.

Beispiele für diese filigranen, unsymmetrischen Lagerungen sind etwa der DE 195 40 681 AI oder der DE 24 56 829 AI zu entnehmen . Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein dosenformiges Behälterelement mit einem Klappdeckelelement der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, das diese Nachteile verhindert und eine sichere, nicht leicht lösbare Verbindung zwischen Klappdeckelelement und Behälterelement schafft.Examples of these filigree, asymmetrical bearings can be found in DE 195 40 681 AI or DE 24 56 829 AI. It is therefore the object of the present invention to propose a can-shaped container element with a hinged lid element of the type mentioned at the outset, which prevents these disadvantages and creates a secure, not easily detachable connection between the hinged lid element and the container element.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 1 erreicht .According to the invention this is achieved by the characterizing feature of claim 1.

Dadurch erfolgt eine symmetrische Lagerung desThis results in a symmetrical mounting of the

Klappdeckelelements am Behälterelement, wodurch auch die auftretenden Kräfte stets symmetrisch in die beiden Elemente eingeleitet werden.Hinged lid element on the container element, whereby the forces that occur are always introduced symmetrically into the two elements.

Das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 2 verhindert ein versehentliches Lösen der Klappdeckelelement-Behälterelement Verbindung. Durch die beidseitig jedes Steges angeordneten Achsstummel, kann das Klappdeckelelement auch durch seitliche Belastungen, wie dies beispielsweise durch ein um den Klappdeckel geschlungenes Stromkabel oft geschieht, nicht aus seiner Befestigung am Behälterelement gelöst werden.The characteristic feature of claim 2 prevents accidental loosening of the hinged lid element-container element connection. Due to the stub axles arranged on both sides of the web, the hinged lid element cannot be detached from its attachment to the container element by lateral loads, as is often the case, for example, with a power cable wrapped around the hinged lid.

Durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 3 kann die Torsionsfeder an der Steckdose eingerastet werden, um die nötige Spannung aufzubauen um das Klappdeckelelement zu schließen.Due to the characterizing feature of claim 3, the torsion spring can be snapped into the socket in order to build up the necessary tension to close the hinged cover element.

Durch die Merkmale des Ansprüche 4 und 5 können die Achsstummel leichter in die dafür vorgesehenen Öffnungen des Federkastens bzw. der laschenförmigen Streben eingerastet werden.Due to the features of claims 4 and 5, the stub axles can be more easily snapped into the openings provided in the spring box or the tab-shaped struts.

Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 6 verhindern, dass bei eingerasteten Achsstummel diese bei geöffnetem Klappdeckelelement durch Zugbelastung aus ihren Öffnungen rutschen. Die Fasen dienen somit lediglich dem Zusammenbau, nicht aber dem Lösen der Verbindung Klappdeckelelement Behälterelement . Es folgt nun eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels einer Steckdose. Dabei zeigt :The characterizing features of claim 6 prevent that when stub axles are engaged, they slide out of their openings due to tensile loading when the hinged cover element is open. The bevels thus only serve for assembly, but not for releasing the connection between the hinged lid element and the container element. There now follows a detailed description of the invention using an exemplary embodiment of a socket. It shows:

In Fig.l bis Fig.4 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Klappdeckelelement 1 mit Dichtungsaufnahme 2 und Betätigungshilfe 3 dargestellt. Weiters ist ein Federkasten 4, welcher eine Federkammer 5 einschließt, vorgesehen. Der Federkasten 4 weist eine Öffnung 6 auf, die direkt in die Federkammer 5 führt, die durch einen im wesentlichen zylindrischen Führungsteil 7 gebildet ist und deren stirnseitige Wände zylindrische Öffnungen 8,9 aufweisen, die auch unterschiedlichen Durchmesser haben können. Der Federkasten 4 weist weiters an jeder seiner beiden Längsseiten einander gegenüberliegende Schlitze 11,12 auf. Ein weitere Schlitz 10 wird durch einen in die Öffnung 6 ragenden, zungenförmigen Steg 31 der bis auf einen Abstand an die gegenüberliegende Seite der Öffnung 6 heranreicht, gebildet. Der zungenförmige Steg 31 ist einstückig mit dem Federkasten 4 ausgeführt und bildet gleichzeitig einen Teil der Begrenzung der Öffnung 6.In Fig.l to Fig.4, a hinged cover element 1 according to the invention with seal holder 2 and actuating aid 3 is shown. Furthermore, a spring box 4, which includes a spring chamber 5, is provided. The spring box 4 has an opening 6 which leads directly into the spring chamber 5, which is formed by an essentially cylindrical guide part 7 and whose end walls have cylindrical openings 8, 9, which can also have different diameters. The spring case 4 furthermore has slots 11, 12 opposite one another on each of its two longitudinal sides. A further slot 10 is formed by a tongue-shaped web 31 which projects into the opening 6 and which extends up to a distance from the opposite side of the opening 6. The tongue-shaped web 31 is made in one piece with the spring box 4 and at the same time forms part of the boundary of the opening 6.

Zusätzlich sind rechts und links des Federkastens 4 zwei entlang ihrer Kanten mit Fasen 33 versehene, laschenformige Streben 14,15 angeordnet, die durch zwei schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen 16,17 vom Federkasten 4 getrennt sind. Die beiden laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 weisen zwei zylindrische Öffnungen 18,19 auf, die mit den zylindrischen Öffnungen 8,9 des Federkastens 4 konzentrisch ausgerichtet sind.In addition, on the right and left of the spring box 4, two tab-shaped struts 14, 15 are provided along their edges with chamfers 33, which are separated from the spring box 4 by two slot-shaped recesses 16, 17. The two tab-like struts 14, 15 have two cylindrical openings 18, 19, which are aligned concentrically with the cylindrical openings 8, 9 of the spring box 4.

Fig.5 zeigt ein als Steckdose 20 ausgeführtes dosenformiges Behälterelement, dessen eine Stirnseite mit einem Klappdeckelelement 1 verschließbar ist. An der Stirnseite sind zwei Stege 21,22, die jeweils zu beiden Seiten zylindrische Achsstummel 23,24 aufweisen, angeordnet. Die Durchmesser der Achsstummel 23,24 sind auf die Durchmesser der zylindrischen Öffnungen 8,9 des Federkastens 4 bzw. auf die Öffnungen 18,19 der laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 abgestimmt. Sowohl die Kanten der Streben 14,15 als auch die Achsstummel 23,24 sind mit Fasen 32 versehen, welche als Anlaufschräge dienen und das Einführen der Achsstummel 23,24 in die schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen 16,17 und in weiterer Folge in die Öffnungen 8,9 bzw. 18,19 erleichtern. Die Fasen 32 an den Achsstummeln 23,24 sind dabei so ausgerichtet, dass sie vom Element 20,1, je nachdem ob sie am dosenformigen Behälterelement 20 oder am Klappdeckelelement 1 angeordnet sind, weggerichtet sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass bei geöffnetem Klappdeckelelement (1) eine Zugkraft an den Achsstummel 23,24 nur in jenem Bereich des Umfangs angreifen, welche keine Fase aufweisen. Das unbeabsichtigte Lösen der Verbindung kann somit verhindert werden. Die Fase 32 dient somit lediglich dem Zusammenbau von Klappdeckelelement (1) und Behälterelement (20), nicht jedoch dem Lösen der Verbindung. Zwischen den Stegen 21,22 befindet sich eine Anlaufschräge 25 mit einer Rastkante 26. Fig.6 zeigt eine Torsionsfeder 27 samt Federschenkel 28 und 29, wobei letzterer einen gebogenen Endbereich 30 aufweist, in entspanntem Zustand.5 shows a can-shaped container element designed as a socket 20, one end of which can be closed with a hinged lid element 1. On the end face are two webs 21, 22, each having cylindrical stub axles 23, 24 on both sides. The diameters of the stub axles 23, 24 are matched to the diameters of the cylindrical openings 8, 9 of the spring box 4 or to the openings 18, 19 of the tab-like struts 14, 15. Both the edges of the struts 14, 15 and the stub axles 23, 24 are provided with chamfers 32 which serve as run-on bevels and the insertion of the stub axles 23, 24 into the slot-shaped recesses 16, 17 and subsequently into the openings 8, 9 or 18.19 facilitate. The chamfers 32 on the stub axles 23, 24 are oriented such that they are directed away from the element 20, 1, depending on whether they are arranged on the can-shaped container element 20 or on the hinged lid element 1. This has the advantage that when the hinged cover element (1) is open, a tensile force on the stub axles 23, 24 only act in that region of the circumference which has no chamfer. The accidental loosening of the connection can thus be prevented. The chamfer 32 thus only serves to assemble the hinged lid element (1) and the container element (20), but not to loosen the connection. There is a run-on slope 25 with a latching edge 26 between the webs 21, 22. 6 shows a torsion spring 27 together with spring legs 28 and 29, the latter having a bent end region 30 in the relaxed state.

In Fig.7 sind eine Steckdose samt Klappdeckel in zusammengebautem Zustand dargestellt. Die Torsionsfeder 27 ist dabei in gespanntem Zustand. Der Federschenkel 29 befindet sich im Schlitz 12. Wird der Klappdeckelteil 1 geschlossen, dreht sich der Federkasten 4 so, dass sich der Federschenkel 29 in geschlossenem Zustand der Klappdeckelteils im Schlitz 11 befindet .In Fig. 7, an outlet including the hinged lid are shown in the assembled state. The torsion spring 27 is in the tensioned state. The spring leg 29 is located in the slot 12. If the hinged cover part 1 is closed, the spring box 4 rotates so that the spring leg 29 is in the closed state of the hinged lid part in the slot 11.

Die Montage der Torsionsfeder 27 mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Klappdeckelelement 1 und in weiterer folge mit der erfindungsgemäßen Steckdose 20 erfolgt nun folgendermaßen:The assembly of the torsion spring 27 with the hinged cover element 1 according to the invention and subsequently with the socket 20 according to the invention is now carried out as follows:

Die Torsionsfeder 27 wird in parallel zur imaginären Drehachse des Klappdeckelelement 1 ausgerichteter Lage lagegerecht mit dem Federschenkel 28 passend zum Schlitz 10 durch die Öffnung 6 in die Federkammer 5 des Federkastens 4 zugeführt. Dabei ist ein leichtes Zusammendrücken der Torsionsfeder 27 erforderlich. Weiters laufen die beiden Drehschenkel 28,29 der Torsionsfeder 27 an den Innenwänden der Öffnung 6 des Federkastens 4 auf, wodurch sich deren Winkel zueinander gegenüber dem entspannten Zustand (Fig.6) verändert und die Torsionsfeder 27 dadurch vorgespannt wird. Mittels seitlichem Druck auf die Torsionsfeder 27 in Richtung der imaginären Drehachse des Klappdeckelelements 1 wird diese unter den zungenförmigen Steg 31 bis auf eine Anschlagfläche 13 der Federkammer 5 geschoben, die durch den kleineren Durchmesser der zylindrischen Öffnung 9 gebildet wird. Alternativ dazu ist vorgesehen, die Öffnung 9 gleich groß auszuführen, wie die Öffnungen 8,18,19, wobei die seitliche Bewegung der Torsionsfeder 27 durch das Einrasten der Federschenkel 28,29 in den Schlitzen 10,11 begrenzt wird. Dadurch wird gleichzeitig der Federschenkel 28 in den Schlitz 10 geschoben. Durch das Eintauchen des Federschenkels 29 in den Schlitz 11 wird die Torsionsfeder 27 lagegerecht fixiert. Der Steg 31 verhindert, dass die Torsionsfeder unter Belastung aus der Federkammer 5 herausspringt. Diese Aufgabe wird normalerweise durch eine Drehachse aus Metall oder Kunststoff gelöst, die jedoch aufgrund des erfindungsgemäßen Steges 31 entfallen kann.The torsion spring 27 is fed in the position aligned parallel to the imaginary axis of rotation of the hinged cover element 1 with the spring leg 28 matching the slot 10 through the opening 6 into the spring chamber 5 of the spring box 4. A slight compression of the torsion spring 27 is required. Furthermore, the two rotating legs 28, 29 of the torsion spring 27 run on the inner walls of the opening 6 of the spring box 4, as a result of which their angle with respect to the relaxed state (FIG. 6) changes and the torsion spring 27 is thereby preloaded. By means of lateral pressure on the torsion spring 27 in the direction of the imaginary axis of rotation of the hinged cover element 1, the latter is pushed under the tongue-shaped web 31 up to a stop surface 13 of the spring chamber 5, which is formed by the smaller diameter of the cylindrical opening 9. As an alternative to this, it is provided that the opening 9 is of the same size as the openings 8, 18, 19, the lateral movement of the torsion spring 27 being limited by the snap-in of the spring legs 28, 29 in the slots 10, 11. As a result, the spring leg 28 is simultaneously pushed into the slot 10. By immersing the spring leg 29 in the slot 11, the torsion spring 27 is fixed in the correct position. The web 31 prevents the torsion spring from under load Spring chamber 5 pops out. This object is normally achieved by an axis of rotation made of metal or plastic, which, however, can be omitted due to the web 31 according to the invention.

Das Klappdeckelelement 1 wird anschließend mit fixierter Torsionsfeder 27 auf den Steckdosenteil 20 aufgeschoben, wobei der Federschenkel 29 der Torsionsfeder 27 mit dem gebogenen Ende 30 hinter der Rastkante 26 des Steckdosenteils 20 einrastet. Weiters tauchen die beiden Stege 21,22 in die schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen 16,17 des Klappdeckels 1 zwischen den laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 und dem Federkasten 4 ein, wodurch die laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 und die Stege 21,22 auffedern und die zylindrischen Achsstummel 23,24 in die zylindrischen Öffnungen 8,9 des Federkastens sowie in die zylindrischen Öffnungen 18,19 der laschenförmigen Streben 14,15 einrasten.
