members elements - The locking
slider 200 is mounted displaceably on the base member G or displaceably on the cover covering between an open or actuating position and a blocking position and is pre-stressed in the actuating position by means of a spring device in which theactuating elements actuating elements slider 200 is achieved by the cooperation of an active element arranged on the lockingslider 200 such as, for example, a ramp or a lug, with a corresponding counter-bearing such as, for example, a lug or a ramp (not shown) on the console. When closing the cover, the active elements of the lockingslider 200 and the console come to abut against one another shortly before the cover D rests on the console. During further closure of the cover D as far as its end position, the lockingslider 200 is pressed into its actuating position. In the embodiment shown, this is a position driven towards the back or towards the displacing device 70. The lockingslider 200 has alocking element 210 which, in the blocking position of the lockingslider 200, is inserted into corresponding catch recesses on the transmitting elements in order to block the actuation of said elements (e.g.FIG. 1 ). -
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a blocking position of the lockingslider 200 in which a locking element engages simultaneously in corresponding openings of both actuatingelements - Each transmitting
element FIG. 7 threecatch openings element 51 and inFIG. 8 threecatch openings blocking element 210 can be inserted. The openings have substantially the same opening shape and size. In addition, theopenings element 51 are arranged at the same distance from one another as theopenings 56, 58 of thesecond transmitting element 52. The respectivefirst opening 55, 56 is provided for the closed position and the respectivesecond opening - the first transmitting
element 51 is located in the closed position and thesecond transmitting element 52 is located in the open position when a first opening of a plurality of openings of the first transmittingelement 51 and a first opening of a plurality of openings of thesecond transmitting element 52 lie one above the other so that the blockingelement 210 can be inserted simultaneously into these openings as a result of the spring pre-tensioning; - the
second transmitting element 52 is located in the closed position and the first transmittingelement 51 is located in the open position when the second opening of thesecond transmitting element 52 and the first opening of the first transmittingelement 51 lie one above the other so that the blockingelement 210 can be inserted simultaneously into these openings as a result of the spring pre-tensioning. - According to one embodiment, therefore the first and the
second transmitting elements elements element 210, whereby the blocking element can be inserted into respectively one catch recess of the first and the second transmitting element. - The pre-tensioning of the locking
slider 200 effected by the spring device can be produced in various ways: in the embodiment shown, the spring device is implemented by twospring elements slider 200 and on the other hand are connected to the transmittingelements elements slider 200 with the blocking element and thespring elements - The cooperation of the longitudinally
displaceable blocking slider 200 and the openings is as follows: - When the cover D is closed, the blocking
slider 200 is located in a position moved back against the pre-tension of thespring elements slider 200, the second locking element V2 is driven out from the openings and both the first and the second transmitting element can be displaced transversely to the second locking element V2 by means of the respectively assignedactuating element elements - When a transmitting element is moved into an open position by means of an actuating element and the cover D has been opened, the locking
slider 200 is moved into its blocking position, and in the embodiment shown towards the front, and therefore the blockingelement 210 is moved into the openings of the transmitting elements. This is possible since the second opening of the actuated transmitting element has come into a position with the first opening of the non-actuated transmitting element in the direction of movement of the transmitting element where these are one above the other. As a result of the spring pre-tensioning in this position of the transmitting element, the second locking element is driven into the superposed openings and thus the first and the second transmitting element are mutually locked. - When using two openings on each of the transmitting elements, it is merely possible for both transmitting elements to be locked in their deployed position in which both swivel pin elements are in the locked position or one transmitting element is locked in the deployed position and another transmitting element is locked in the retracted position. Three openings can also be arranged on the transmitting elements. In this case, both transmitting elements can be additionally locked simultaneously in their retracted position or open position so that both swivel pin elements are located in an unlocking position.
