Abstract

The device has wire sections (3, 4) unrolled on a storage coil (20) in such a manner that the sections are synchronously rolled up during rotary motion of the coil in a rotary direction. The sections are fixed with their storage coil-sided ends to the coil. The coil exhibits a lock (33), which is effective in the rotary direction, with which the sections of the coil are rolled up. The lock is removable by an actuation equipment. An independent claim is also included for a motor vehicle with a device for synchronized moving in and out of wire sections.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät zum synchronen Aus- und Einfahren von zwei Drahtabschnitten, wobei die Drahtabschnitte auf einer Speicherrolle derart aufgerollt sind, daß bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in einer Drehrichtung beide Drahtabschnitte synchron abgerollt und bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in einer anderen Drehrichtung synchron aufgerollt werden, wobei die Drahtabschnitte voneinander getrennt sind und mit ihren speicherrollenseitigen Enden an der Speicherrolle festgelegt sind. Die Erfindung bezieht sich des weiteren auf ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer Karosserie, die eine Heckklappe aufweist, welche untenseitig in Scharnieren geführt ist, über die sie um eine horizontale Achse aus einer im wesentlichen vertikalen Schließstellung in eine horizontale Offenstellung verschwenkbar ist, wobei an beiden Seiten der Heckklappe Drahtabschnitte vorgesehen sind, deren freien Enden an der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges befestigt sind und die zu einer an der Heckklappe angeordneten Speicherrolle verlaufen, auf der die Drahtabschnitte derart aufgerollt sind, das bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in einer Drehrichtung beide Drahtabschnitte synchron abgerollt und bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in der anderen Drehrichtung synchron aufgerollt werden.The invention relates to a device for synchronous extension and retraction of two wire sections, wherein the wire sections are rolled up on a storage role such that rolled in a rotational movement of the storage role in one direction of rotation synchronously both wire sections and rolled synchronously in a rotational movement of the storage role in a different direction of rotation are, wherein the wire sections are separated from each other and are fixed with their storage roll side ends of the storage roll. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle with a body, which has a tailgate, which is guided in hinges at the bottom, via which it is pivotable about a horizontal axis from a substantially vertical closed position to a horizontal open position, wherein on both sides of Tailgate wire sections are provided, whose free ends are attached to the body of the motor vehicle and which extend to a arranged on the tailgate memory role on which the wire sections are rolled up in such a way Rotational movement of the storage roll in one direction of rotation both wire sections are unrolled synchronously and rolled up synchronously in a rotational movement of the storage roll in the other direction.

Im Stand der Technik sind Kraftfahrzeuge bekannt, die eine Heckklappe aufweisen, welche untenseitig in Scharnieren geführt sind, über die sie um eine horizontale Achse aus einer im wesentlichen vertikalen Schließstellung in eine horizontale Offenstellung verschwenkt werden können. In der Offenstellung liegt die dann obenseitige Fläche der Heckklappe bündig zu dem Boden des Heckraums des Fahrzeugs.In the prior art motor vehicles are known which have a tailgate, which are guided at the bottom in hinges, via which they can be pivoted about a horizontal axis from a substantially vertical closed position into a horizontal open position. In the open position, the then upper side surface of the tailgate is flush with the bottom of the rear compartment of the vehicle.

Um den Schwenkwinkel der Heckklappe zu begrenzen, sind an beiden Seiten der Heckklappe Drahtabschnitte vorgesehen, welche mit ihren freien Enden im oberen Bereich der Karosserie des Fahrzeugs befestigt sind. Dabei sind unter Drahtabschnitten auch solche Abschnitte zu verstehen, die beispielsweise Seile oder andere, biegsame und damit rollbare Stränge bilden. Die Drahtabschnitte laufen über Öffnungen in den oberen Ecken der Heckklappe zu einer im Inneren der Heckklappe mittig angeordneten Speicherrolle. Beim Öffnen der Heckklappe rollen die Drahtabschnitte von der Speicherrolle synchron und mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit ab, bis die Offenstellung der Heckklappe erreicht ist. Mit Erreichen dieser Stellung blockiert die Speicherrolle mit der Folge, daß die Heckklappe nicht mehr weiter nach unten schwenken kann.In order to limit the pivot angle of the tailgate, wire sections are provided on both sides of the tailgate, which are fastened with their free ends in the upper region of the body of the vehicle. Wire sections also include those sections which form, for example, cables or other flexible and therefore rollable strands. The wire sections pass through openings in the upper corners of the tailgate to a storage roll centrally located inside the tailgate. When opening the tailgate, the wire segments roll off the storage roll synchronously and at the same speed until the open position of the tailgate is reached. Upon reaching this position blocks the storage role, with the result that the tailgate can not swing further down.

Im Stand der Technik sind die beiden Drahtabschnitte Teil eines einzigen, durchgehenden Drahtzugs, der um die Speicherrolle derart wendelförmig gewickelt ist, daß die beiden Drahtabschnitte bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in einer Drehrichtung synchron abgerollt, also im Fall der Öffnung der Heckklappe, und bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in der anderen Drehrichtung synchron aufgerollt werden, also im Fall des Schließens der Heckklappe. Dabei sorgt eine Federrückstellung dafür, daß die beiden Drahtabschnitte in jeder Stellung der Heckklappe gespannt bleiben und das Öffnen der Heckklappe gegen die Wirkung der Federrückstellung erfolgt.In the prior art, the two wire sections are part of a single, continuous Drahtzugs wound around the storage role such a helical that the two wire sections in a rotational movement of the storage roll in a rotational direction synchronously unrolled, ie in the case of opening the tailgate, and at a Rotational movement of the storage role in the other direction are rolled up synchronously, ie in the case of closing the tailgate. In this case, a spring return ensures that the two wire sections remain tense in any position of the tailgate and the opening of the tailgate takes place against the action of the spring return.

Die Tatsache, daß die Drahtabschnitte Teile eines durchgehenden Drahtzugs sind, macht die Montage des Drahtzugs kompliziert und arbeitsaufwendig. Zusätzlich ist es erforderlich, daß der Drahtzug auf der Speicherrolle genau justiert ist, damit die ausgefahrenen Drahtabschnitte stets gleich lang sind. Gleichwohl besteht immer die Gefahr, daß der Drahtzug auf der Speicherrolle verrutscht mit der Folge, daß die aus- und einfahrenden Drahtabschnitte ungleich lang werden. Hierdurch kann es zu Beschädigungen der Heckklappe kommen.The fact that the wire sections are part of a continuous wire train makes the assembly of the wire cable complicated and laborious. In addition, it is necessary that the wire tension on the storage roll is precisely adjusted so that the extended wire sections are always the same length. Nevertheless, there is always the danger that the wire pull on the storage roller slip with the result that the outgoing and retracting wire sections are unequal length. This can damage the tailgate.

Aus der US 5,531,498 ist eine Betätigungseinrichtung für eine nach oben öffenbare Heckklappe bekannt. Die Betätigungseinrichtung weist an beiden Seiten vorgesehene Gasfedern auf, die so stark ausgelegt sind, daß die Heckklappe beim Öffnen allein durch die Gasfedern vollständig in eine nach oben geschwenkte Endstellung schwingt. Zu der Betätigungseinrichtung gehört auch eine Schließeinrichtung, mittels der die Heckklappe wieder nach unten in ihre Schließstellung verschwenkt werden kann. Die Schließeinrichtung weist zwei Drahtabschnitte auf, deren freie Enden an der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges festgelegt sind und die zu einer an der Heckklappe angeordneten Speicherrolle verlaufen. Dort sind die Drahtabschnitte derart aufgerollt, daß bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in einer Drehrichtung beide Drahtabschnitte synchron abgerollt und bei einer Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle in der anderen Drehrichtung synchron aufgerollt werden. Die Speicherrolle ist von einem Elektromotor angetrieben, der aktiviert wird, wenn die Heckklappe geschlossen werden soll. Die Speicherrolle wird dann so verdreht, daß die Drahtabschnitte auf diese aufgerollt werden.From US 5,531,498 an actuator for an upwardly open tailgate is known. The actuator has on both sides provided gas springs, which are designed so strong that the tailgate when opening completely by the gas springs swings into an upwardly pivoted end position. To the actuator also includes a closing device by means of the tailgate can be pivoted back down to its closed position. The locking device has two wire sections, whose free ends are fixed to the body of the motor vehicle and which extend to a arranged on the tailgate memory role. There, the wire sections are rolled up so that during a rotational movement of the storage role in a rotational direction both wire sections are unrolled synchronously and rolled up synchronously in a rotational movement of the storage role in the other direction. The storage reel is driven by an electric motor which is activated when the tailgate is to be closed. The storage roll is then rotated so that the wire sections are rolled up on this.

Die Drahtabschnitte sind nicht Teil eines durchgehenden Drahtes, sondern sind voneinander getrennt und mit ihren speicherrollenseitigen Enden an der Speicherrolle mittels in entsprechende Ausnehmungen eingreifenden verdickten Enden festgelegt. Solche Speicherrollen sind auch aus der DE 197 41 691 A1 bekannt.The wire sections are not part of a continuous wire, but are separated from each other and fixed with their storage roll side ends of the storage roll by means of engaging in corresponding recesses thickened ends. Such storage rolls are also known from DE 197 41 691 A1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gerät der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß es besser für den Einsatz an Heckklappen an Kraftfahrzeugen geeignet ist. Eine weitere Aufgabe besteht in der Anpassung eines solchen Gerätes an die Heckklappe von Kraftfahrzeugen.The invention has the object of developing a device of the type mentioned in such a way that it is better suited for use on tailgates on motor vehicles. Another task is customization of such a device to the tailgate of motor vehicles.

Die erste Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Speicherrolle eine Sperre aufweist, die in der Drehrichtung wirksam ist, bei der die Drahtabschnitte von der Speicherrolle abrollen, und die über eine Betätigungseinrichtung lösbar ist. Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung besteht die Möglichkeit, das Abrollen der Drahtabschnitte und damit beispielsweise die Öffnung einer Heckklappe zu verhindern oder in einer Zwischenstellung zu blockieren und damit das Öffnen auf das jeweils notwendige Maß zu beschränken. Erst wenn die Sperre über die Betätigungseinrichtung gelöst wird, ist ein - gegebenenfalls weiteres - Abrollen der Drahtabschnitte möglich.The first object is achieved in that the storage roller has a lock which is effective in the direction of rotation, in which roll the wire sections of the storage roll, and which is releasable via an actuator. Due to this design, it is possible to prevent the rolling of the wire sections and thus, for example, the opening of a tailgate or to block in an intermediate position, thus limiting the opening to the extent necessary in each case. Only when the lock is released via the actuator, a - possibly further - unwinding of the wire sections is possible.

Grundsätzlich besteht die Möglichkeit, die Sperre so auszubilden, daß sowohl das Abrollen als auch das Aufrollen der Drahtabschnitte auf die Speicherrolle gesperrt ist, wenn die Sperre nicht über die Betätigungseinrichtung gelöst ist. Gerade beim Einbau des Gerätes in die Heckklappe von Kraftfahrzeugen reicht es jedoch aus, wenn die Sperre ausschließlich in derjenigen Drehrichtung sperrend wirksam ist, bei der die Drahtabschnitte von der Speicherrolle abgerollt werden, das heißt in Aufrollrichtung bleibt die Speicherrolle im wesentlichen frei drehbar, so daß bei einem Einsatz bei einer Heckklappe ein Schließen der Heckklappe ohne Lösen der Sperre möglich ist. Die Sperre kann als Klinkensperre ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Klinkensperre einen an der Speicherrolle angebrachten Zahnkranz und eine gerätefest gelagerte Sperrklinke aufweist.In principle, it is possible to form the barrier so that both the rolling and the rolling of the wire sections is locked to the storage roll when the lock is not released via the actuator. Especially when installing the device in the tailgate of motor vehicles, it is sufficient if the lock is blocking only in that direction effective, in which the wire sections are unrolled from the storage roll, that is, in the reeling direction, the storage role remains substantially free to rotate, so that when used in a tailgate closing the tailgate without loosening the lock is possible. The lock can be designed as a pawl lock. In this case, it is useful if the pawl lock on Has the storage role attached sprocket and a device fixedly mounted pawl.

In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Enden der Drahtabschnitte Verdickungen aufweisen, die in passende Ausnehmungen in der Speicherrolle formschlüssig eingesetzt sind. Auf diese Weise können die Drahtabschnitte einfach in die Ausnehmungen eingeklippt werden. Zusätzliche Maßnahmen zur Festlegung der Enden sind dann nicht erforderlich.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the ends of the wire sections have thickenings which are inserted positively into matching recesses in the storage roll. In this way, the wire sections can be easily clipped into the recesses. Additional measures to determine the ends are then not required.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Speicherrolle in Aufrolldrehrichtung federbelastet ist, so daß ein Abrollen der Drahtabschnitte von der Speicherrolle gegen den Widerstand der Feder geschieht. Die Feder wirkt dann einer zu schnellen Verschwenkung beispielsweise einer Heckklappe entgegen. Eine kompakte Konstruktion ergibt sich, wenn die Feder als in der Speicherrolle angeordnete Spiralfeder ausgebildet ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the storage roller is spring-loaded in Aufrolldrehrichtung, so that a rolling of the wire sections of the storage roller is done against the resistance of the spring. The spring then counteracts a too fast pivoting, for example, a tailgate. A compact construction results when the spring is designed as arranged in the storage roller coil spring.

Ferner ist nach der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß die Drahtabschnitte in Führungsrillen auf der Speicherrolle einfassen, wobei es von Vorteil ist, wenn die Führungsrillen nach Art eines doppelgängigen Gewindes ausgebildet sind und dabei halbkreisförmige Nuten bilden, welche an den Durchmesser der Drahtabschnitte angepaßt sind. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich eine exakte Führung der Drahtabschnitte auf der Speicherrolle, so daß es nicht zu gegenseitigen Behinderungen kommen kann.It is further provided according to the invention that the wire sections in guide grooves on the storage roll border, it is advantageous if the guide grooves are formed in the manner of a double thread and thereby form semi-circular grooves which are adapted to the diameter of the wire sections. In this way, an exact guidance of the wire sections results on the storage role, so that it can not lead to mutual disabilities.

Die Drahtabschnitte können als Rund- oder Flachdrähte ausgebildet sein, letztere auch mit rechteckigem oder ovalem Querschnitt. Als Drahtabschnitte im Sinne der Erfindung sind auch solche Ausführungsformen zu verstehen, die Bänder, Gurte oder Seile bilden. Die Drahtabschnitte können aus Metall, Gummi und/oder Kunststoff bestehen.The wire sections may be formed as round or flat wires, the latter also with a rectangular or oval cross-section. As wire sections in the context of the invention, those embodiments are to be understood that form bands, straps or ropes. The wire sections may be made of metal, rubber and / or plastic.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Speicherrolle an einer Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet ist, die um eine horizontale Achse aus einer Schließ- in einer Offenstellung und umgekehrt verschwenkbar ist, wobei die Drahtabschnitte von der Speicherrolle zu beiden Seiten der Heckklappe und von dort zur Karosserie verlaufen, wo deren Enden derart festgelegt sind, daß die Drahtabschnitte beim Öffnen der Heckklappe von der Speicherrolle abgerollt werden. Die so eingesetzte erfindungsgemäße Speicherrolle ermöglicht es, die Heckklappe in verschiedenen Stellungen festzulegen und dabei ein weiteres Öffnen der Heckklappe zu blockieren. Das Öffnen der Heckklappe kann somit auf das jeweils notwendige Maß beschränkt werden, was insbesondere dann von Vorteil ist, wenn die Platzverhältnisse ein weiteres Öffnen der Heckklappe nicht ermöglichen, beispielsweise in einer Garage oder bei beengten Parkverhältnissen.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the storage roller is arranged on a tailgate of a motor vehicle which is pivotable about a horizontal axis from a closed to an open position and vice versa, wherein the wire sections of the storage roll on both sides of the tailgate and run there to the body, where the ends are fixed so that the wire sections are unrolled when opening the tailgate of the storage roll. The storage roll used in this way according to the invention makes it possible to set the tailgate in different positions and thereby block further opening of the tailgate. The opening of the tailgate can thus be limited to the degree necessary in each case, which is particularly advantageous if the space does not allow further opening of the tailgate, for example in a garage or in confined parking conditions.

Der zweite Teil der Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß bei einem Kraftfahrzeug, das in an sich bekannter weise mit einer nach unten verschwenkbaren Heckklappe und einer daran angeordneten Speicherrolle versehen ist, die auf die Drahtabschnitte aufgerollten Drahtabschnitte voneinander getrennt sind und mit ihren speicherrollenseitigen Enden an der Speicherrolle festgelegt sind. Hierdurch wird die Montage der Drahtabschnitte wesentlich erleichtert, und es sind auch keine Justiervorgänge mehr erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, daß die ausfahrenden Drahtabschnitte immer die vorgegebene Länge aufweisen. Außerdem kann sich nachträglich nichts mehr verändern, da die speicherrollenseitigen Enden der Drahtabschnitte an der Speicherrolle festgelegt sind, also nicht mehr verrutschen können.The second part of the object is achieved in that in a motor vehicle provided in a conventional manner with a downwardly pivotable tailgate and a memory roller arranged thereon is, which are separated on the wire sections wire sections separated from each other and are fixed with their memory roll side ends of the storage roll. As a result, the assembly of the wire sections is much easier, and there are no more adjustment operations required to ensure that the extending wire sections always have the predetermined length. In addition, nothing can subsequently change, since the storage roll side ends of the wire sections are fixed to the storage roll, so you can not slip.

Ansonsten kann die Speicherrolle in der gleichen Weise ausgebildet sein wie bei dem vorbeschriebenen Gerät zum synchronen Aus- und Einfahren von zwei Drahtabschnitten.Otherwise, the storage roller may be formed in the same manner as in the above-described device for synchronous extension and retraction of two wire sections.

Das in den Figuren dargestellte Gerät 1 zum synchronen Aus- und Einfahren weist eine insgesamt mit 2 bezeichnete Speichereinrichtung auf, von der gegenläufig zwei Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 ausgehen, die außerhalb der Speichereinrichtung 2 in Führungsschläuchen 5, 6 geführt sind. An den der Speichereinrichtung 2 benachbarten Enden sind die Führungsschläuche 5, 6 in Halterungen 7, 8 festgelegt. Die hier nicht dargestellten Enden der Führungsschläuche 5, 6 sind bei einer Montage des Geräts 1 innerhalb der Heckklappe eines Fahrzeugs bis zu deren oberen Ecken geführt. Dort treten die Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 aus der Heckklappe aus und sind mit ihren freien Enden an der Karosserie des zugehörigen Fahrzeugs befestigt, zweckmäßigerweise in den oberen Ecken der Heckklappenöffnung.The device 1 shown in the figures for synchronous extension and retraction has a total of 2 designated storage device, run from the opposite two wire sections 3, 4, which are outside the storage device 2 in guide tubes 5, 6 out. At the ends of the storage device 2 adjacent the guide tubes 5, 6 are fixed in holders 7, 8. The ends of the guide tubes 5, 6, not shown here, are guided in an assembly of the device 1 within the tailgate of a vehicle up to the upper corners. There, the wire sections 3, 4 emerge from the tailgate and are attached with their free ends to the body of the associated vehicle, conveniently in the upper corners of the tailgate opening.

Die Speichereinrichtung 2 hat ein Speichergehäuse 9, das von zwei Gehäuseteilen 10, 11 gebildet wird. Das eine Gehäuseteil 10 ist als ebene Platte ausgebildet, während das andere Gehäuseteil 11 Topfform mit seitlichen Laschen 12, 13 hat, über die der topfförmige Gehäuseteil 11 an dem plattenförmigen Gehäuseteil 10 befestigt ist. Die Befestigung der Speichereinrichtung 2 beispielsweise innerhalb einer Heckklappe geschieht über die Ecken des Gehäuseteils 10. Hierzu sind Schraubenlöcher - beispielhaft mit 14 bezeichnet - vorgesehen.The storage device 2 has a storage housing 9, which is formed by two housing parts 10, 11. The one housing part 10 is formed as a flat plate, while the other housing part 11 cup shape with lateral tabs 12, 13, via which the cup-shaped housing part 11 is fixed to the plate-shaped housing part 10. The attachment of the storage device 2, for example, within a tailgate is done via the corners of the housing part 10. For this purpose, screw holes - exemplified by 14 - provided.

Innerhalb des Speichergehäuses 9 verläuft eine Drehachse 15 (Figur 4), die einerends in einem Führungsring 16 und anderenends in dem Gehäuseteil 10 gehalten ist. Auf der Drehachse 15 befindet sich eine Lagerbuchse 17, die sich einerends gegenüber einem Bund 18 auf der Drehachse 15 und anderenends an einem Seegerring 19 abstützt. Auf der Lagerbuchse 17 sitzt eine Speicherrolle 20, in deren Mantel Führungsnuten - beispielhaft mit 21 bezeichnet - eingelassen sind. Die Führungsnuten 21 haben den Verlauf eines doppelgängigen Gewindes, d. h. zwei Führungsnuten verlaufen wendelförmig nebeneinander auf dem Mantel der Speicherrolle 20. In den Führungsnuten 21 sitzen die beiden Drahtabschnitte 3, 4.Within the storage housing 9 extends an axis of rotation 15 (Figure 4), which is held at one end in a guide ring 16 and the other end in the housing part 10. On the axis of rotation 15 is a bearing bush 17 which is supported at one end against a collar 18 on the axis of rotation 15 and the other end to a snap ring 19. On the bearing bush 17 is seated a storage roll 20, in the mantle guide grooves - for example, designated 21 - are embedded. The guide grooves 21 have the course of a doppelgängigen thread, d. H. two guide grooves extend helically next to each other on the mantle of the storage roll 20. In the guide grooves 21 sit the two wire sections 3, 4th

Zur Festlegung der Enden der Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 an der Speicherrolle weisen die Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 nippelartige Verdickungen 22, 23 auf (vgl. Figur 2), die formschlüssig in zu den Verdickungen 22, 23 passenden Ausnehmungen 24, 25 am äußeren Rand der Speicherrolle 20 diametral gegenüberliegend einfassen. Von den Ausnehmungen 24, 25 gehen zum Mantel der Speicherrolle 20 hin offene Schlitze 26, 27, über die die Enden der beiden Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 in die Ausnehmungen 24, 25 eingesetzt werden können. Die Enden sind in diesen Ausnehmungen 24, 25 verliersicher gehalten.In order to fix the ends of the wire sections 3, 4 on the storage roll, the wire sections 3, 4 have nipple-like thickenings 22, 23 (see Fig. 2), which form-fit in the thickenings 22, 23 mating recesses 24, 25 at the outer edge of the storage roll 20 diametrically opposite border. Of the recesses 24, 25 go to the shell of the storage roll 20 through open slots 26, 27, via which the ends of the two wire sections 3, 4 can be inserted into the recesses 24, 25. The ends are held captive in these recesses 24, 25.

Die Speicherrolle 20 weist auf der einen Seite eine ringförmige Ausnehmung 28 auf. In dieser Ausnehmung 28 sitzt eine Spiralfeder 29, deren innenseitiges Ende 30 an der Speicherrolle 20 festgelegt ist und deren außenseitiges Ende mit einem Bolzen 31 verbunden ist, der an dem Gehäuseteil 10 befestigt ist. Aufgrund der Spiralfeder 29 ist die Speicherrolle 20 in Aufrollrichtung (in Figur 1 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn) federbelastet.The storage roller 20 has on one side an annular recess 28. In this recess 28 is seated a coil spring 29 whose inside end 30 at the Storage roller 20 is fixed and whose outer end is connected to a bolt 31 which is fixed to the housing part 10. Due to the coil spring 29, the storage roll 20 in the winding direction (in Figure 1 counterclockwise) spring-loaded.

Auf der der Ausnehmung 28 gegenüberliegenden Seite weist die Speicherrolle 20 ebenfalls eine ringförmige Ausnehmung 32 auf. Außenseitig weist die Ausnehmung 32 eine Ratschenverzahnung 33 nach Sägezahnart auf (vgl. insbesondere Figur 2). Zu der Ratschenverzahnung 33 gehört eine Sperrklinke 34, die - wie Figur 2 zeigt - in Sperrstellung in die Ratschenverzahnung 33 einfaßt und in dieser Stellung eine Drehbewegung der Speicherrolle 20 in Abrollrichtung sperrt. In Aufrollrichtung bleibt die Speicherrolle 22 drehbar.On the side opposite the recess 28 side, the storage roller 20 also has an annular recess 32. On the outside, the recess 32 has a ratchet toothing 33 in the form of a sawtooth (cf., in particular, FIG. 2). To the ratchet teeth 33 includes a pawl 34, which - as Figure 2 shows - in the locked position in the ratchet teeth 33 and locks in this position, a rotational movement of the storage roll 20 in the unwinding. In the retraction direction, the storage roller 22 remains rotatable.

Die Sperrklinke 34 ist in einer Lagerbuchse 35 gelagert, welche in dem Gehäuseteil 11 sitzt (vgl. Figur 3). Die Sperrklinke 34 ist drehfest mit einem Betätigungshebel 36 verbunden, an dessen freiem Ende zur einen Seite hin der Draht 37 eines Betätigungszugs 38 und zur anderen Seite hin eine auf Zug beanspruchte Schraubenfeder 39 angelenkt sind (vgl. Figur 2). Über den Betätigungszug 38 kann der Betätigungshebel 36 und damit die Sperrklinke 34 im Uhrzeigersinn (Figur 2) gegen die Wirkung der Schraubenfeder 39 aus dem Eingriff mit der Ratschenverzahnung 33 herausgeschwenkt werden, so daß die Speicherrolle 20 dann in beiden Richtungen verdrehbar ist. Die Betätigung des Betätigungszugs 38 geschieht von dessen hier nicht dargestelltem Ende mit Hilfe eines Handgriffs o. dgl. Wird auf den Draht 37 keine Zugkraft ausgeübt, werden der Betätigungshebel 36 und damit die Sperrklinke 34 durch die Schraubenfeder 39 wieder in Eingriff mit der Ratschenverzahnung 33 verschwenkt.The pawl 34 is mounted in a bearing bush 35 which sits in the housing part 11 (see FIG. The pawl 34 is non-rotatably connected to an actuating lever 36, at its free end to one side of the wire 37 of a control cable 38 and the other side towards a claimed coil spring 39 are hinged (see Figure 2). About the control cable 38, the actuating lever 36 and thus the pawl 34 in the clockwise direction (Figure 2) against the action of the coil spring 39 are disengaged from the engagement with the ratchet teeth 33, so that the storage roll 20 is then rotated in both directions. The actuation of the control cable 38 is done by its not Pictured here End by means of a handle o. The like. If no tensile force is exerted on the wire 37, the actuating lever 36 and thus the pawl 34 are pivoted by the coil spring 39 back into engagement with the ratchet teeth 33.

Aufgrund der vorbeschriebenen Ausbildung des Geräts 1 werden die Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 von dem Mantel der Speicherrolle 20 abgerollt, wenn der Betätigungszug 38 derart betätigt wird, daß die Sperrklinke 34 aus dem Eingriff in die Ratschenverzahnung 33 herausbewegt wird und auf die Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 Zug ausgeübt wird. Dies geschieht bei der Montage des Geräts 1 in einer Heckklappe beim Herunterschwenken der Heckklappe in die Horizontale. Das Abrollen erfolgt dabei gegen die Wirkung der Spiralfeder 29. In der Endstellung sorgt ein Anschlag 40 an der Speicherrolle 20 dafür, daß ein Weiterdrehen der Speicherrolle 20 verhindert wird. Die Heckklappe kann in jeder Zwischenstellung dadurch angehalten werden, daß der Betätigungszug 38 entlastet wird, weil dann die Sperrklinke 34 wieder in Eingriff mit der Ratschenverzahnung 33 kommt.Due to the above-described embodiment of the device 1, the wire sections 3, 4 are unrolled from the jacket of the storage roll 20, when the control cable 38 is operated so that the pawl 34 is moved out of engagement with the ratchet teeth 33 and the wire sections 3, 4 train is exercised. This happens during assembly of the device 1 in a tailgate when swinging down the tailgate in the horizontal. The rolling takes place against the action of the coil spring 29. In the end position, a stop 40 on the storage roll 20 ensures that further rotation of the storage roll 20 is prevented. The tailgate can be stopped in any intermediate position, that the control cable 38 is relieved, because then the pawl 34 comes back into engagement with the ratchet teeth 33.

Beim Hochschwenken der Heckklappe sorgt die Spiralfeder 29 dafür, daß die Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 wieder auf die Speicherrolle 20 synchron aufgerollt werden, bis die Heckklappe ihre Schließstellung erreicht hat. Da die Führungsnuten 21 auf dem gleichen Durchmesser sitzen, geschieht das Auf- und Abrollen der Drahtabschnitte 3, 4 nicht nur gleichzeitig, sondern auch mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit.When swinging the tailgate, the coil spring 29 ensures that the wire sections 3, 4 are rewound synchronously back to the storage roll 20 until the tailgate has reached its closed position. Since the guide grooves 21 sit on the same diameter, the winding and unwinding of the wire sections 3, 4 happens not only simultaneously, but also at the same speed.
