Fig. 1 eine Explosionsdarstellung eines Tragbügels mit Gelenk und Unterbügel.Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a bracket with joint and lower bracket.
Ein Scheibenwischer für ein &aftfährzeug ist an dem freien Ende eines Wischarmes, der mit dem Kr-iftfahrzeug verbunden ist, angelehkt. Der Scheibenwischer weist einen zentralen, mit dem Wischarm verbundenen Tragbügel 1, der auch als Mittelbügel bezeichnet wird, auf. Im Bereic der beiden freien Enden des Tragbügels 1 ist jeweils ein Unterbügel 2, der auch als Krallenbügel bezeichnet wird, über ein Gelenk 3, das aus POM oder einem anderen geeigneten Kunststoff gefertigt ist, angelehkt. An den freien Enden der beiden Unterbügel 2 ist ein Wischgurr-rni oder wieder ein Unterbugel befestigt.A wiper for a vehicle is hinged to the free end of a wiper arm that is connected to the truck. The windshield wiper has a central support bracket 1, which is connected to the wiper arm and is also referred to as a center bracket. In the area of the two free ends of the carrying bracket 1, a lower bracket 2, which is also referred to as a claw bracket, is hinged via a joint 3, which is made of POM or another suitable plastic. At the free ends of the two lower brackets 2, a wiper belt or a lower bracket is attached.
Der Tragbügel 1, der aus Metall besteht, weist einen nach unten offenen, U-förmigen Querschnitt auf und wird durch einen Tragbügel-Grond 4 und zwei sich von dessen Rand senkrecht nach unten erstreckenden Tragbiigel- Schenkeln 5, 6 gebildet, wobei der Grund 4 und die Schenkel 5, 6 einteilig ausgebildet sind. In dem Schenkel 5 und in dem Schenkel 6 sind im Bereich des Übergangs zum Grund 4 jeweils zwei als Rastnuten 7 ausgebildete, im wesentlichen quaderförmige, die Schenkel 5 bzw. 6 zur Außenseite nicht ' durchdringende - dies ist ästhetisch vorteilhaft - Ausnehmungen vorgesehen, wobei jeweils eine Rastnut 7 in dem Schenkel 5 und eine Rastnut 7 in dem Schenkel 6 bezüglich der Längsrichtung 8 einander gegenüberliegen. Die Rastnuten 7 sind auf der Innenseite des Tragbügels 1 angeordnet. In Abhängigkeit von der Dicke der Schenkel 5, 6 können die Rastnuten 7 auch so ausgebildet sein, daß sie die Schenkel 5, 6 durchdringen.The support bracket 1, which is made of metal, has a U-shaped cross section which is open at the bottom and is formed by a support bracket base 4 and two support bracket legs 5, 6 which extend vertically downward from the edge thereof, the base 4 and the legs 5, 6 are formed in one piece. In the leg 5 and in the leg 6 are in the area of the transition to the base 4, each formed as locking grooves 7, essentially cuboid, the legs 5 and 6 not ' penetrating to the outside - this is aesthetically advantageous - recesses are provided, each with a locking groove 7 in the leg 5 and a locking groove 7 in the leg 6 lie opposite one another with respect to the longitudinal direction 8. The locking grooves 7 are arranged on the inside of the bracket 1. Depending on the thickness of the legs 5, 6, the locking grooves 7 can also be designed so that they penetrate the legs 5, 6.
Der aus Metall bestehende Unterbügel 2 weist eberrfalls e en nach unten offenen, U-förmigen Querschnitt auf und wird durch einen Unterbügel- Grund 9 sowie zwei sich hiervon senkrecht nach unten erstreckende Unterbügel-Schenkel 10, 11 gebildet, wobei der Grund 9 und die Schenkel 10. 11 einteilig miteinander ausgebildet sind. Der Tragbügel 1 ist so dimensio- niert, daß er den Unterbügel 2 mit einem Spiel teilweise umgreifen kann.. In dem Grund 9 sind zwei, den Grund 9 durchdringende Rastöffnungen 12 mit rechteckigem Querschnitt vorgesehen, wobei die Rastöffnungen 12 ungefähr so weit voneinander beabstandet sind wie die Rastnuten 7 einem der Schenkel 5 oder 6 voneinander.The metal lower bracket 2 also has a U-shaped cross section open at the bottom and is formed by a lower bracket base 9 and two lower bracket legs 10, 11 extending vertically downward therefrom, the base 9 and the legs 10. 11 are integrally formed with each other. The support bracket 1 is dimensioned such that it can partially encompass the lower bracket 2 with play. In the base 9, two locking openings 12 with a rectangular cross section penetrating the base 9 are provided, the locking openings 12 being spaced approximately as far apart from one another like the locking grooves 7 one of the legs 5 or 6 from each other.
Das aus einem Kunststoff gefertigte, einteilig ausgebildete Gelenk 3 weist einen Basissteg 14 auf, in dessen oberem Bereich zwei einteilig mit diesem ausgebildete Tragbügel-Rastarme 15, 16 ausgebildet sind, die sich ungefähr in einer Ebene in entgegengesetzte Richtungen erstrecken. Im Bereich ihrer freien Enden weisen die Rastarme 15, 16 jeweils einen von ihrem freien Ende auf den Basissteg 14 zulaufenden, mittig angeordneten Federschlitz 17 auf Ferner sind an den freien Enden der Rastaπne 15, 16 jeweils zwei senkrecht zur Läαgserstxeckimgsrichtung der Rastarme 15 bzw. 16 verlau- fende, nach außen vorspringende, einander paarweise gegenüberliegende Rastnasen 18 vorgesehen. Die jeweils einander gegenüberhegende Rastnasen 18 können aufgrund des Federschlitzes 17 und der Materialwahl des Gelenks 3 zusammengedrückt werden. Im unteren Bereich des Basissteges 14 sind zwei sich in entgegengesetzte Richtungen erstreckende, sich gegenüber den jeweiligen Rastarmen 15 bzw. 16 unter einem spitzen Winkel schräg nach unten erstreckende Unterbügel-Rastarme 19, 20 vorgesehen, die einteilig mit dem Basissteg 14 ausgebildet sind. Die einander gegenüberliegenden Rastarme 15 und 19 bzw. 16 und 20 weisen ungefähr diesel- be Länge auf. Die Rastarme 15 und 19 bzw. 16 und-20 sind auch elastisch gegeneinander verschwenkbar. Im Bereich der freien Enden der Rastarme 19 und 20 sind jeweils quer zur Längserstreckung der Rastarme 19 bzw. 20 verlaufende Rastnuten 21 mit gegenüber diesen vorspringenden, darunter vorgesehenen Rastkanten 22 vorgesehen. Die beiden Rastkanten 22 sind aufeinanderzu elastisch zusammendrückb ar. Die Rastkanten 22 sind im Bereich ihrer unteren vorderen Kante abgeschrägt ausgebildet, um ein Einschieben in die Rastöffhungen 12 zu erleichtern. Das Gelenk 3 ist bezüglich einer durch den Basissteg 14 verlaufenden Symmetrieebene spiegelsymmetrisch ausgebildet.The joint 3 made of plastic and formed in one piece has a base web 14, in the upper region of which two support bracket locking arms 15, 16 formed in one piece are formed, which extend approximately in one plane in opposite directions. In the area of their free ends, the latching arms 15, 16 each have a spring slot 17, which runs from their free end to the base web 14 and is arranged in the center. Furthermore, at the free ends of the latching arms 15, 16 there are two each perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the latching arms 15 and 16 verlau- Fende, outwardly projecting, mutually opposite locking lugs 18 are provided. The opposing locking lugs 18 can be compressed due to the spring slot 17 and the choice of material of the joint 3. Provided in the lower region of the base web 14 are two lower bracket locking arms 19, 20 which extend in opposite directions and extend obliquely downward at an acute angle relative to the respective locking arms 15 and 16 and which are formed in one piece with the base web 14. The opposing locking arms 15 and 19 or 16 and 20 have approximately the same length. The locking arms 15 and 19 or 16 and-20 are also elastically pivotable against each other. In the region of the free ends of the latching arms 19 and 20, latching grooves 21 are provided, each transverse to the longitudinal extension of the latching arms 19 and 20, with latching edges 22 projecting therefrom and provided underneath. The two locking edges 22 are mutually resilient arz. The locking edges 22 are bevelled in the region of their lower front edge in order to facilitate insertion into the locking openings 12. The hinge 3 is mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry running through the base web 14.
Im folgenden wird die Montage des Tragbügels 1 mit einem Unterbügel 2 unter Verwendung des Gelenks 3 beschrieben. Zunächst werden die Rastkanten 22 durch die jeweiligen Rastöffhungen 12 geschoben, bis die äußeren Kanten 23 der Rastöffhungen 12 in Eingriff mit den jeweiligen Rast- nuten 21 kommen.The assembly of the support bracket 1 with a lower bracket 2 using the joint 3 is described below. First, the locking edges 22 are pushed through the respective locking openings 12 until the outer edges 23 of the locking openings 12 come into engagement with the respective locking grooves 21.
Anschließend wird der Tragbügel 1 von oben auf das Gelenk 3 geschoben, wobei einander gegenüberliegende Rasrnasen 18 geringfügig zesa menge- ' drückt werden, bis diese in die Rastnuten 7 einrasten. Der Unterbugel 2 ist -nun an dem Tragbügel 1 elastisch angelenkt, wobei der mögliche Ver- schwenkungsbereich zwischen Unterbügel 2 und Tragbügel 1 so gewählt ist, daß er den Kilfmmungsänderangen beim Wischen auf einer Front- oder Heckscheibe eines Kraftfahrzeuges angepaßt ist. Durch die um 90 ° versetzte Orientierung der Rastnasen 18 einerseits und der Rastkanten 22 andererseits verhindert das Gelenk 3 eine VerschiebHchkeit des Tragbügels 1 gegenüber dem Unterbügel 2 quer zur Längsrichtung 8, so daß ein Schaben der Schenkel 6 und 11 bzw. 5 und 10 aneinander verhindert wird. Der Vorteil des Gelenks 3 besteht darin, daß die Montage von Unterbügel 2 und Tragbügel 1, die beide aus Metall bestehen, einfach, schnell und automatisch erfolgen kann, da lediglich ein Verrasten der Teile miteinander durchgeführt werden muß. Von besonderem Vorteil ist, daß das Gelenk 3 spie- gelsymmetrisch- ausgebildet ist. Damit ist bei der automatischen Montage eine ansonsten komplizierte Orientierung des Gelenks 33 nicht erforderlich, wodurch die automatische Montage stark bescUeunigt werden kann. Subsequently, the support bracket 1 is pushed onto the joint 3 from above, with opposing rasps 18 slightly zesa 'are pressed until they snap into the locking grooves 7. The lower bracket 2 is now articulated elastically on the support bracket 1, the possible pivoting range between the lower bracket 2 and the bracket 1 being selected such that it is adapted to the changes in angle when wiping on a front or rear window of a motor vehicle. Due to the 90 ° offset orientation of the locking lugs 18 on the one hand and the locking edges 22 on the other hand, the joint 3 prevents a displacement of the support bracket 1 relative to the lower bracket 2 transversely to the longitudinal direction 8, so that scraping of the legs 6 and 11 or 5 and 10 against each other prevents becomes. The advantage of the joint 3 is that the mounting of the lower bracket 2 and bracket 1, both of which are made of metal, can be carried out simply, quickly and automatically, since only the parts have to be locked together. It is particularly advantageous that the joint 3 is designed to be mirror-symmetrical. This means that an otherwise complicated orientation of the joint 33 is not required in the automatic assembly, as a result of which the automatic assembly can be greatly examined.
