Releasable connecting device for two elements.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the releasable connection of two parts. It has a receiving part (1) possessing a housing (3a). In the housing (3a) is mounted a bolt (5a) having an entry slope (7a). A closing pin (9d) with a displacement part (12a) serves for closing or for engagement with the bolt (5a) and is kept pressed into the closing position by a rubber ring (16). A release part (11a) is mounted slidably in the direction of movement (arrow 57) on the shank of the closing pin (9d). The closing pin (9d) carries a thrust plate (8) at its end facing away from the displacement part (12a). Insofar as pressure is exerted on this thrust plate, there first occurs the closing of the displacement part (12a) with the bolt (5a). When it is pressed further in the direction of movement (arrow 57), the release part (11a) forces the bolt (5a) away via the entry slope (7a) counter to the spring force of the rubber ring (16) and perpendicularly to the direction of movement (57). The bolt (5a) is then clamped on the displacement contour (17) of the release part (11a). It is thus possible to release the connection again by pulling the closing pin (9d) out of the receiving part (1). In another version, the bolt (5k;l) is held on the closing pin (9m;n) of the displacement part (12i;k) on the housing (3n;m). <IMAGE>

  1. c-de-0001
    1. A device for releasably connecting two parts, with a Verdrängerkontur (13), a displacement part (12), a counter to a spring (10;44) acting lockbolt (9), a resilient pressed in the closing held bolt (5) and a for co-operation with this formed counter-bearing on the lockbolt and with a one Verdrängerkontur (17) having sleeve-shaped, displaceable and captive manner with a play (19) (Fig.3) mounted lock release member (11) for opening of the bolt (5), wherein the minimum penetration depth of the lockbolt (9) in the receiving part (1) of the extent of the displacement part (12) in the direction of movement (6) of the lockbolt (9) plus the clearance (19) in the direction of movement (6), or wherein the minimum depth of penetration of lockbolt (9) in the receiving part (1) corresponds to the extent of the displacement part (12) in the movement direction and the unlocking part (11) is independent of the lockbolt (9) operable characterizedIn that the bolt (5) by a spring force in a plane normal to the direction of movement of the lockbolt (9) displaceable - and out of this plane generally pivot freely - is held down, and that the spring (10;44) concentric to the axis (6) of lockbolt (9) or of the displacement part (12) is arranged.
  2. c-de-0002
    2. A device for releasably connecting two parts, with a Verdrängerkontur (13), a displacement part (12), a counter to a spring (10) acting lockbolt (9), a resilient latch (5) and a counter-bearing for cooperation with at least a housing (3) and with a one Verdrängerkontur (17) having sleeve-shaped, displaceable and captively mounted unlocking member (11) for opening of the bolt (5), wherein the play (19) (Fig.3) of the unlocking member (11) at least the extension (20) of the bolt (5) in the direction of movement of the lockbolt corresponds to (9), and wherein the minimum penetration depth of the lockbolt (9) in the receiving part (1) of the extent of the displacement part (12) in the direction of movement (6) of the lockbolt ( 9) corresponds to plus of the game (19) and the width of the bolt (5) in the direction of movement (6), characterized in that the latch (5) by a spring force - in a plane normal to the direction of movement of the lockbolt (9) held pivotally freely displaceable is.
