Technical Field

The object of the invention is a trim part for a rim of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Background

Such trim pieces are known, for example, from the object of US 2011/0101766 a1, in which the trim piece is formed by a decorative plate in the form of a disk, which is fixed on associated recesses in the respective spokes of the rim of the motor vehicle by means of two interlocking plates which can be locked to one another. The first locking plate is inserted from the front side through a radial slot in the decorative plate and is wedged in a radial slot in the rim lying behind it, wherein the slot on the rim side has to be aligned with an exact fit in the decorative plate. The second latch plate is placed on the trim plate, passes through the radial slit of the trim plate, and is locked with the second latch plate wedged in the slit on the rim side.

The wedging of the first snap plate in the rim cleft is not capable of transferring high forces and is moisture-sensitive and dirt-sensitive. Disassembly cannot be achieved without loss.

A further disadvantage is that it is not possible to fasten a multi-part decorative element, which is formed, for example, from a plurality of interrupted decorative panels running over the periphery, which decorative panels do not have a peripheral-side connection to one another.

A further disadvantage of the known fastening of the decorative plate to the rim of the motor vehicle is that the manufacturing tolerances in the case of the production of the rim, which lead to a mutual offset of the cracks in the rim on the rim side, cannot be controlled in the form of the fastening shown there.

In particular, it can happen that the radial slits in the disk-shaped trim part do not align exactly with the associated radial slits in the spokes of the rim of the motor vehicle, so that locking of the locking means used and thus fixing of the wheel trim panel is not possible.

Another motor vehicle rim is known from DE 102015206831 a1, in which a disk element is screwed onto a rim lock ring and is also covered with additional decorative elements, which are of substantially arc-segment-shaped design and have only simple locking bolts, which are to be engaged in associated lock holes of the disk element.

Here too, there is the problem that there is no adjustability of the latching connection, since the locking bolts must be arranged in precise alignment relative to the disk element of the rim, otherwise the fastening of these parts cannot be achieved.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention is therefore based on the object of fixing a decorative element, preferably in the form of a plate element in the form of a circular segment, of the type mentioned above to the front or outer surface of a rim of a motor vehicle, so that it can be easily assembled and disassembled and the rim-side tolerances no longer have an effect on the fixing of the decorative element.

To achieve the proposed object, the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.

A trim part at a rim of a motor vehicle is already known as subject of the older patent application DE 102018108149 assigned to the same applicant, wherein the disclosure of this point is to be included in its entirety by the disclosure of the present invention, as far as this is permissible.

In the older patent application mentioned, a locking slide 41 is described which ensures an advantageous mounting and fixing of the entire motor vehicle trim part at the web of the motor vehicle rim.

However, disassembly is difficult, since the locking slide described there can only be released by breaking the detent connection, which leads to damage of the decorative part.

There is thus a need for an improved motor vehicle trim part for fitting on a motor vehicle rim, so that the removal of the motor vehicle trim part once fitted can be effected without damage.

In a preferred embodiment, this is achieved in that the support-and-hold means on the decorative part side are formed at least by a bendable catch foot which is molded on the surface of the decorative part and has a hook-shaped head molded thereon, and the catch foot is part of a catch connection at the decorative part, the bending of which is achieved by a locking slide which is movably and fixably configured as a spreading element in a catch slot of the catch connection and optionally reinforces or releases the catch connection and in turn bends or retracts the catch foot toward the rim surface.

This older patent application proposes a special form of locking slider 41, which is described in particular in fig. 25ff there and is characterized in that it is only movably fixed in the region of the barb plate in the latching slot of the latching connection 74 perpendicularly to the surface of the respective decorative element 9,10 (in the direction of the arrow 83 there in fig. 30) and in the region of the barb plate. The locking slide 41 described here abuts with the base leg 56 against the rear side of the spokes 2,3 in a load-transmitting manner and thus forms a seat for the decorative part on the spokes or on the rim lock ring. Such an embodiment with a locking slider 41 is likewise provided within the scope of the invention.

However, the invention is provided as a preferred feature of the relatively older patent application in that in the region of the described detent connection 74, a locking slide 91 is provided which is movable in two directions perpendicular to one another, which is then likewise movable and fixable in the radial direction of the trim part and the vehicle rim and which (as is known from the older patent application) is likewise movable in the perpendicular direction relative to the surface of the trim part into its locking position. The new locking slide itself does not however constitute a load-transmitting device at the back of the spokes 2,3 or the rim ring 6, as described in the older patent application, for example, by the catch slide 41. But rather it serves to bend the hook-shaped head of the latching foot on the trim part side, which in the case of an outwardly directed bending of the latching foot abuts with its hook-shaped head against the rear or side face or against another load-transmitting face at the rim face.

The locking slide according to the invention is therefore merely a spreading element which (as a function of its displacement) enlarges the latching gap between the slightly bendable trim-side counter support and the bendable trim-side latching foot, so that the latching foot with its hook-shaped head is in load-transmitting abutment against the rim-side counter surface.

The detachment is effected in the opposite direction, since the locking slide can be moved from its extended position in the opposite direction and the extension action in the latching slot is thereby reduced, whereby the hook-shaped head of the latching foot is released from the load-transmitting counter surface on the rim side. The actuation of the locking slide for assembly and disassembly can be carried out with or without tool assistance.

The catch slide 80 according to the invention described in the older patent application is therefore associated with a further and additional function in the present description, namely a removal function.

In the older patent application, the locking slide is only movable in the vertical direction relative to the surface of the decorative part and is locked with its barb plate undetachably with the decorative part-side detent recess.

In the present invention, provision is made in this case for the catch slide, which is known from the older patent application, to be movable only in the vertical direction relative to the surface of the trim part, to likewise be associated with a radial displacement movement, which is directed vertically to this point, parallel to the surface of the trim part. Thus, improvement in assembly and disassembly is ensured.

Two different forms of locking slide are described, wherein the first embodiment refers to a locking slide which is guided with its outer surface freely on the rear side of the trim part in the movement guide of the first form. However, the first form of movement guide does not have an internal guide groove, as does the second form of movement guide. The second form of displacement movement provides an even improved guidance in the radial direction.

A second embodiment relates to a further type of locking slide, the longitudinal guidance of which is implemented in the region of the inner guide groove of the locking slide, so that the displacement movement is not only freely guided externally, as in the case of the first locking slide, but also via the inner guide groove.

It is common to both embodiments that, to establish the locking movement, first of all an unlocking position of the respective locking slide is provided, which is pulled radially outward (for example in the direction to the rim edge) and is in this position lifted.

In order to establish the locking, the locking slide is moved from this raised radially outwardly directed displacement position into a radially inwardly directed displacement position before it rests against a defined stop surface on the decorative part side and is then brought into its final locking position perpendicular to the surface of the decorative part with a manual pressing movement or a tool. The respective trim-side latching connections are thereby spread apart from one another and the latching hooks associated with the latching connections abut with their hook-shaped heads against the rim-side counter surfaces in a load-transmitting manner.

For unlocking the connection, it is possible to unlock the locking slide from its lowered and radially inwardly displaced position again, i.e. to act with a suitable tool or by hand on a counter support which forms a rear stop for the locking position of the locking slide.

The counter support is bent away by the locking slide with a suitable tool, so that the stop edge of the locking slide is disengaged from the stop edge of the counter support and the locking slide can thus be moved outward again in the radial direction while maintaining its lowered position, whereby the locking position is unlocked.

The load-transmitting device of the respective hook-shaped head of the latching foot (which is part of the latching connection) is thus lifted at the associated mating face of the spoke of the motor vehicle rim and the trim part can thus be easily removed again.

In the case of the invention, it is advantageous if the locking slide is an easily movable plastic part which is held in a trim-side displacement guide, which in the first-mentioned embodiment of the locking slide is formed by trim-side guide surfaces which point opposite one another and which externally abut against the locking slide and form their radial displacement guide on the trim.

In a second embodiment, the locking slide has a downwardly open guide groove into which a locking plate on the decorative part side engages, which locking plate has a radially outwardly directed locking lip which hooks over a barb plate of the locking slide.

Once the latch plate is bent outwardly with the previously described tool, the latching lips likewise disengage from the barbed plate of the lock slide, and the lock slide is then free to be moved over the latch plate.

In the first-mentioned exemplary embodiment, the locking plate is missing and is replaced by a guide plate on the decorative part side, which abuts against the locking slide on the outside, but is not part of the inner guide groove. Additional guide plates can likewise be provided in order to improve the stability or guidance of the locking slide. One example is a guide plate mounted between two snap-lock legs. It is not necessary that such a guide plate is provided with a stop edge.

It is clear that the invention is not restricted to the two described forms of the movement guide of the locking slide in the region of the detent connections and in the detent gap of the decorative part formed between the detent connections.

All other movement guides can be used, which are formed, for example, by guide strips, guide profiles or even, as such, by roller-shaped or dome-shaped guide elements which are arranged on or at the decorative element.

Spring elements can likewise be provided, which guide the radial displacement of the respective locking slide.

It is advantageous if the locking slide is locked in the locking position by the unlocking plate described above, i.e. it is fastened and can no longer be moved back out of its locking position without the aid of tools.

The unlocking plate achieves a locking engagement with the locking slide in the locked state. If the unlocking plate is bent back with a suitable tool, it is then released from the latching engagement with the locking slide and the locking slide can thus be brought freely movably in its movement guide into a final locking position directed radially outward.

In a preferred embodiment, the locking slide is formed by two locking plates which are spaced apart from one another and which are connected to one another in their upper region by a cross member in one piece. The cross-member forms a downwardly open U-shaped recess, wherein the dimensions of the recess and its contour correspond to the contour of the latching legs, so that the locking slide can be pushed with its downwardly directed central recess onto the contour of the respective latching leg and thus there is a first positional fixing corresponding to the unlocked position.

The recess thus defines, in conjunction with the associated stop edge, an approximately U-shaped contour into which the contour of the corresponding latching foot engages with little play.

From a position fixed from the first position representing unlocked lock slide, the middle groove of the lock slide is brought out of engagement with the rear latch foot when the lock slide is moved forward in the radial direction of the trim piece.

The two locking plates, which are embodied as thickened in cross section, therefore enter the latching slot of the respective trim-side latching connection and, by pressing down the locking slide from its radially forward moved position, the two locking plates, which are arranged at a distance from one another, of the locking slide are then pressed into the latching slot of the trim-side latching connection and press the latching slots apart from one another, as a result of which the trim-side latching feet, which point outward at the outer periphery, are bent outward and the hook-shaped heads, which point outward, abut against the associated flat surface of the motor vehicle rim with load transmission.

The inventive object of the invention is to be found not only in the object of the individual patent claims but also in the combination of the individual patent claims with one another.

All the matters and features disclosed in the attached claims, including the abstract, particularly the spatial arrangements shown in the drawings, may be claimed as essential to the invention, insofar as they are novel, individually or in combination, relative to the prior art.

Detailed Description

If the reference numerals identified in the above description of the invention are used, the reference numerals 9,10,14,41,56,72,74,75,77,80,83,84 relate to the reference numerals of the older patent application DE 102018108149 and are applicable to those parts of the same description of the older patent application.

Fig. 1 shows in general that a row of decorative element-side latching connections 74 is present at the outer circumference of the decorative elements 9, 10. These latching connections are intended to be fixed to the spokes 2,3 and/or to the rim lock ring 6.

The garnish 9 represents a relatively small-area garnish, and reference numeral 10 represents a large-area garnish.

The two reference numerals 9,10 are used throughout, which means that the decorative elements 9,10 can be configured arbitrarily in their surface extension. It can therefore be constructed over a large area or over a small area.

Fig. 1 furthermore shows that a large number of latching connections 74 are present on the edge side, i.e. at the radial outer edge, which cooperate with the latching legs 14 and into which the locking slider 41 described in the older patent application can be latched. Such a catch slide 41, although it can be fitted, can nevertheless be removed only in the event of damage to the catch connection 74. As an alternative to the use of the catch slide 41, however, the bending principle of the catch leg 14 can also be used, the hook-shaped head 107 of which can be bent outward by means of the catch slide 91.

It is advantageous if the locking slide 91 and/or 101 can also be inserted into the detent gap between the detent foot 14 and the counter-bracket 75, so that the radially outer detent connection 74 can likewise be equipped with the locking slide 91 and/or 101 for abutting against the rim lock ring 6 according to fig. 1.

In the case of the exemplary embodiment according to fig. 1, it is advantageous if the latching connections 74 extending in the radial direction on the sides (which occupy a certain mutual distance and are respectively formed by the latching feet 74 and the opposing counter supports 75) are formed as latching slots 72, into which the locking slides 91 can be moved in the radial direction of the rim 1 and are formed so as to be lowerable in the direction of the surface of the fixture part 9, 10.

In the case of all embodiments, it is suitable that the latching connections 74 which extend in the radial direction of the rim 1 and are at a distance from one another are each formed by an internal counter support 75 having a barb plate 76.

Advantageously, the two counter brackets 75 are arranged at a distance from one another and form the latching slot 72 in conjunction with the correspondingly outer, opposite latching legs 14 which do not carry a barb plate.

By means of the locking plates 93,94, which are increased in thickness, which are inserted into the locking slide 91, the detent gap 72 is increased and the detent feet 14 are bent outward, so that their hook-shaped heads 107 with their hook-shaped appendages transmit the load against the associated flat surfaces of the spokes 2,3 or the rim ring 6 of the motor vehicle rim 1.

In the first exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 6, the displacement guide for the locking slide 91 to be explained below is formed in that the guide plate 85 is molded with its longitudinal extent approximately perpendicularly onto a plane of the device parts 9,10, which plane, in conjunction with the opposing unlocking plate 86, forms a first guide opening for the locking slide 91, wherein this guide opening extends flush and flush with respect to the latching slot 72 of the latching connection 74 located immediately behind it.

At the outer edge of the guide plate 85, a stop edge 87 is configured for a stop limit of a locking slide 91 which is movable in the guide slot.

By enlarging the latching gap 72, the latching feet 14 are bent outward in the direction of the arrow 84 (see fig. 3) and thus abut load-transmitting manner against an associated plane of the motor vehicle rim 1, which is not shown in detail.

The unlocking plate 86 is configured as a front stop edge 88 for the locking slide 91, so that when the unlocking plate 86 is bent back in the opposite direction to the indicated arrow direction 84 by means of a suitable tool or a human hand, the locking slide is disengaged from the stop edge 88 and can therefore be brought into its retracted unlocking position, more precisely until it abuts against the stop edge 87 at the guide plate 85.

Fig. 2 shows the use of the locking slide 91 in the unlocked position, which is thus moved radially forward in the direction of arrow 89 against the rear stop edge 87, whereby the locking plates 93 and 94, which are increased in thickness, are brought into the locking slots 72 of the respective locking connection 74 and the locking feet 14 arranged in the region of the locking connection 74 are thus bent outward in the direction of arrow 84, wherein the hook-shaped heads 107 arranged at the free bendable ends of the locking feet 14 define the load-transmitting locking position of the trim part at the motor vehicle rim 1.

When the locking slide 91 is moved radially inward in the direction of the arrow 89 between the detent connections 74 in the transition from fig. 2, the two locking plates 93,94, which increase in thickness, therefore reach the previously mentioned detent gap 72 of the respective detent connection 74 and in the position shown in fig. 3 are pressed downward in the direction of the arrow 92 (see fig. 5), as a result of which the barb plates arranged in the region of the locking plates 93,94 at the locking slide reach a position in which they reach the substantially non-releasable detent connection of the opposing barb plate 76 with the counter bracket 75 and thus establish a locking.

Fig. 4 shows the locking movement in the direction of the arrow 92 in the direction of the surface of the device parts 9,10 and likewise the displacement movement in the direction of the arrow 89.

The locking plate 86 thus abuts with its rear stop edge 88 against the locking slide 91 with load transmission and prevents its retraction movement in the opposite direction to the indicated arrow direction 89.

The stop edge 88 can be brought out of engagement with an opposite stop edge 104 (see fig. 5) of the locking slide 91 only by a bending movement of the unlocking plate 86 in the direction of the arrow 90.

Fig. 5 shows the locking slider 91 in a perspective illustration. It can be seen that the two locking plates 93,94 arranged at a distance from one another have a defined thickness 105 which is suitable for bending the associated locking leg 14 in the direction of the arrow 84 (see fig. 3) in the locking slot 72 outwards, as a result of which the hook-shaped head 107 molded at the free end is moved outwards.

Fig. 5 shows the direction of movement in the direction of the arrow 89 and the lowering movement in the direction of the arrow 92 for the locking slide 91.

The two locking plates 93,94, which increase in thickness 105, are connected to one another in one piece by means of a cross member 95, which decreases in thickness, wherein the cross member 95 forms a downwardly open groove 98, which is configured as a groove contour corresponding to the clear contour of the locking leg 14.

As can be seen from fig. 2, the detent feet 14 engage in the recesses 98 in the unlocking position, so that the unlocking slide 91 assumes a defined fixed unlocking position as a position fixing.

The stop edge 96 defines the displacement position of the locking slide 91 into its locking position, in which the stop edge 96 rests against the front latching foot 14.

Thus, the movement in the direction of arrow 89 for reaching the locking position is limited.

As soon as this displacement position is reached by the stop edge 96 at the front latching leg 14, it can be pressed down in the direction of arrow 92 into the latching slot, as a result of which the two latching plates 93,94 with their increased thickness 105 penetrate into the latching slot 72 and the latching leg 14 is bent out in the direction of arrow 89.

It is obvious that instead of a stop edge 96 at the locking slider 91, an associated stop edge at the counter bracket 75 can likewise be arranged.

Fig. 6 shows the rear side of the locking slider 91, where it can be recognized that the barb plate 76 has a defined locking contour which is locked substantially undetachably with the corresponding barb plate 76 of the counter support 75, when the locking slider 91 is pressed down in the direction of the arrow 92 and the barb plate 77 comes into engagement with the barb plate 76.

Fig. 7 to 19 show additional displacement guides for a further embodiment of the locking slide 101, the guide plate 95 shown previously in fig. 1 and 2 being omitted and instead being present for the internal guidance of the guide groove 102 in the locking slide 101.

Instead of the guide plate 85, a locking plate 99 is therefore provided, which engages with its contour into the associated guide groove 102 of the locking slide 101 and guides the locking slide on the locking plate 99 in a displaceable manner.

To limit the lifting movement of the locking slide 101, the catch plate 99 carries a catch lip 100.

Further details of such a movement guide are shown in fig. 8 and 9.

The detent plate 99 is integrally molded on the surface of the decorative parts 9,10 at a distance from the detent connection 74 described above, which is at a distance from one another.

An unlocking plate 86 with the same function as previously described is drawn, fig. 9 showing the previously mentioned latching lip 100 which projects laterally from the surface of the latching plate 99 in order to make possible the limitation of the lifting movement of the locking slide 101. The locking slide can therefore no longer be lifted upwards from the position in which it is locked.

Fig. 10 shows that on the left side of the two detent connections 74, a locking slide 101 is now mounted, which is in its unlocking position and the two detent plates 93,94, which are enlarged in thickness 105, are still disengaged from the detent slits 72 of the two consecutively arranged detent connections 74.

It can be seen that the locking slide 101 is placed on the latch plate 99 and the top surface of the latch plate engages into the associated guide groove 102 of the locking slide.

The same applies to fig. 11 and 12, where it can be seen that the locking slide 101 with its two locking plates 93,94 can now be moved to the right in the direction of arrow 89, in order then, after reaching a defined stop position, to be pushed down in the direction of arrow 92 into the locking slot 72.

In fig. 12, the same unlocking position of the locking slide 101 according to fig. 11 is shown, however, the illustration is rotated by 90 °.

Fig. 13 shows, in comparison with fig. 10, that the locking slide 101 is brought into its locked position and lowered in the direction of the arrow 92, while (for better clarity) the upper latching connection 74 is still shown without the inserted locking slide 101.

The locking slide is still guided with its last part on the catch plate 99 and remains engaged there. It can furthermore be seen that the unlocking plate 86 with its stop edge abuts against a stop edge of the side face of the lock slide 101 and that a retraction movement of the lock slide 101 in the radial direction counter to the arrow direction 89 is no longer possible.

The unlocking plate 86 abuts between two stop edges 103 and 106 (see fig. 18) against the locking slide 101 in the region of the recess and the cross-member 95, and the locking slide is then no longer movable in its longitudinal extension.

In order to facilitate the displacement movement of the locking slide 101 in its displacement direction, a respective inclined chamfer 97 is arranged at the front edge of the detent plate 93,94 in order to enable a respective easy sliding guidance at the detent foot 14.

It should also be added that the limitation of the displacement movement of the locking sliders 91,101 is likewise achieved by a stop edge 104 (see fig. 5) of the end face, which can abut against the associated counter face. This is depicted in particular in connection with the locking slider 91 in fig. 1 to 6.

The design of the locking sliders 91,101 in the region of the detent connection 74 for fixing the decorative parts 9,10 to the motor vehicle rim 1 has the advantage of a connection that can be detached without damage, since the described locking sliders 91,101 can be brought into engagement with the detent connection 74 by means of a suitable displacement movement and lifting movement, but can also be disengaged from the detent connection 74. This is not possible at present.

The locking sliders 91,101 are simple plastic parts, which can also be designed as metal parts. The plastic part is substantially formed by two locking plates 93,94, which are spaced apart from one another and are connected to one another via a cross member 95 which is reduced in thickness.

At one of the sides, the latching plates 93,94 are provided with the previously mentioned barb plate 77, while the opposite side is configured smoothly, in order to thus provide a smooth load-transmitting locating surface at the associated outwardly bendable latching foot 14.

Thus, a large-area load transmission and an effective bending load to the latching feet 14 can be achieved by means of this smooth surface.

The previously described central recess 98 serves for the positionally fixed engagement of the latching legs 14 for reaching the assembly position, from which the locking slides 91,101 are then moved in the shown radial displacement direction into the region of the latching connections 74 arranged at a distance from one another, which are thus spread apart from one another.

The locking slides 91,101 are accordingly spreader tools which spread the latching connections 74 apart and pretension the latching legs 14 of the parts connecting the latching connections 74 outward with a high clamping force against the rim-side mating surfaces.
