Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a corner region 2 of an interior space 3 of a trunk 4. The trunk 4 is a component of the body 5 of the motor vehicle 1. The wheel house 6 can be seen on the left side in fig. 1. Fig. 1 also shows a lower end portion of the trunk lid 8.

The trunk lid 8 is in a closed position 9 closing the trunk 4. A projecting locking bow 11 is provided on the end side 10 of the lower end 7 of the trunk lid 8. Opposite the locking bow 11, a lock 14 is fastened to the edge 12 of the body opening 13. The lock 14 has a rotary latch, not shown, which locks the lock bow 11.

In the embodiment shown, one end 17 of the bowden cable 18 is arranged on the operating device 19 on the lower edge 15 of the housing 16 of the lock 14. By means of this operating device 19, a rotary latch, not shown, can be moved from a locking position into an unlocking position.

The bowden cable is fixed to a wall 22 of the vehicle body opening 13 by a plurality of clips 20, 21. One end 23 of the bowden cable sleeve 24 of the bowden cable 18 is arranged in a form-fitting manner on a spring clip or clamp 25. A bowden cable core wire 26 guided in the bowden cable 18 passes through the clamp 25 and is fastened with its end 27 to an operating handle 28.

In the embodiment shown, the guide clip 29 is fixed to the wall 22 of the vehicle body opening 13 such that the operating handle 28 is arranged at the level of the lower edge 12 of the vehicle body opening 13.

Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of the clip 25 on the wall 22 of the body opening 13, the guide clip 29 and the operating handle 28 in an enlarged view. Fig. 2 also shows an end 23 of a bowden cable sleeve 24.

Fig. 3 shows the outer side 8b of the lower end 7 of the boot lid 8 in the closed position 9. A through-opening 30 is formed in the wall 22 of the body opening 13, through which an end 31 of the clip 25 passes and projects in the direction of a hollow space 32 of the body opening 13.

Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal section of the clip 25 similar to fig. 5. Fig. 5 shows a longitudinal section of fig. 4 from a different angle. The arcuate end 31 of the clip 25 projects on an outer surface 33 of the body 5 facing away from the trunk 4. The clip 25 has two hooks or tabs 34, 35 on the outer surface 25a that project away from the clip 25.

The respective hooks 34, 35 have bearing surfaces 36, 37 which are rectangular in plan view. In side view, the respective hook 34, 35 has a triangular shape in the embodiment shown. The respective abutment surfaces 36, 37 of the respective hooks 34, 35 abut against the outer surface 33 of the wall 22.

As can be seen in fig. 4, the clip 25 has a closed frame 38. As also shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, the closed frame 38 has an arcuate or circle segment-shaped or circular section 39 on one end 31 thereof.

Each one of the lateral sections 42, 43 adjoins a respective end 40, 41 of the arcuate section 39. In the embodiment shown, the two lateral (frame) sections 42, 43 extend linearly parallel to one another and are of equal length.

In another embodiment, the two lateral (frame) sections 42, 43 taper towards the arcuate section 39 at an angle of between 1-10 ° to the axis of symmetry 61.

In another embodiment, the two lateral (frame) sections 42, 43 have an arcuate curvature in the direction of the arcuate section 39. The curved portion may, for example, have a radius r bridging the distance between the end 50, 51 of the respective end 40, 41 or the respective projection 34, 35 of the arcuate section 39 and the respective upper end 44, 45 of the respective lateral (frame) section 42, 43.

The two lateral (frame) sections 42, 43 are integrally connected to each other at their respective upper ends 44, 45 by a transversely extending straight (frame) section 46.

A housing 48 with a through-opening 49 is integrally formed on the inner side 47 of the transversely extending connecting frame section 46. The bowden cable core wire 26 is disposed in the through hole 49. The housing 48 serves as a stop for the bowden cable sleeve 24 of the bowden cable 18.

Fig. 6 shows a top view of the clip 25. In the embodiment shown, the arcuate section 39 is configured as a semi-circle having a radius r. In the embodiment shown, the radius r of the arcuate section 39 is 10.4mm ± 0.2 mm.

The ends 50, 51 of the respective projections 34, 35 are located at the level of the ends 40, 41 of the arcuate section 39. The angle β between the respective lateral section 42, 43 and the respective obliquely extending section 52, 53 of the respective hook 34, 35 is 22.5 ° ± 2 ° in the illustrated embodiment. In the illustrated embodiment, the respective hooks 34, 35 have a length l₃₄、l₃₅2 to 3 mm. In the illustrated embodiment, the angle γ₃₄、γ₃₅Is 90 DEG +/-2 deg.

The distance t between the housing 48 and the opposing inner surfaces 47 of the respective lateral sections 42, 43_42，48、t_43，48In the illustrated embodiment, t_42，48、t_43，48＝1.2mm±0.2mm。

In the embodiment shown, the thickness d of the respective lateral section 42, 43₄₂、d₄₃Is d₄₂、d₄₃1.1 mm. + -. 0.2 mm. In the illustrated embodiment, the length l of the laterally extending connecting frame section 46₄₆Is 1₄₆＝12.6mm±0.5mm。

In the embodiment shown, the distance l between the two ends 54, 55 of the two projections 34, 35 at the level of the respective contact surfaces 36, 37_34，35Is a_34，3517.1 ± 0.5 mm. Height h of the clip 25₂₅Is h₂₅＝19.5mm±0.5mm。

Fig. 6 shows an outer surface 56 of the housing 48, against which the end face of the bowden cable sleeve 24 rests and which is positively secured in the illustrated embodiment by a circular recess 57. Fig. 6 shows an exemplary reinforcement rib 58, which is integrally formed on the lateral portion 43. The reinforcing ribs 58 are also shown in fig. 9.

Fig. 7 differs from fig. 6 in that an outer surface 59 of the housing 48 is shown opposite the outer surface 56. On the side of the housing 48 having the outer surface 59, the bowden cable core wire 46 passes out of the through hole 49 in the mounted state of the clip 25.

The length l of the housing can be seen in fig. 8₄₈Which in the embodiment shown is/₄₈16 mm. + -. 0.5 mm. The outer surface 59 of the housing 48 is shown in fig. 8 and 9, respectively. On the side of the housing 48 having the outer surface 59, the bowden cable core wire 26 is guided through the through hole 49 in the mounted state of the clip 25 in the direction of the operating handle 28.

The upper end 60 of the reinforcing rib 58 is also shown in fig. 8. In the illustrated embodiment, the width b of the frame 38₃₈8 mm. + -. 0.2 mm.

The clip 25 is mounted in the following manner: the arcuate section 39 of the clip 25 is passed with the two projections 34, 35 through the through-hole 30 in the wall 22 of the body opening 13.

The through-hole 30 in the wall 22 of the body opening 13 is smaller than the distance l between the two ends 54, 55 of the two projections 34, 35 at the level of the respective contact surfaces 36, 37_34，35。

The minimum width of the through-opening 30 in the wall 22 of the body opening 13 corresponds to the length l of the transversely extending connecting frame section 46₄₆。

When the arcuate section 39 narrows, that is to say when the radius r of the arcuate section 39 in the direction of the axis of symmetry 61 is greater than the radius shown in fig. 6 and 7, the distance l between the inner surfaces 47 of the two opposite lateral sections 42, 43 of the frame 38 is determined by the deformation of the arcuate section 39_42，43May be smaller than that shown in fig. 6 and 7. The arcuate section 39 temporarily has this shape, for example, when the clip 25 is mounted through the through hole 30 in the wall 22 of the vehicle body opening 13.

Due to the elastic deformability of the two opposing lateral sections 42, 43 and the bow section 39, the two opposing lateral sections 42, 43 and the bow section 39 return into the stress-free initial position shown in fig. 6 and 7 when the clip 25 is installed in the through-hole 30 in the wall 22 of the body opening 13.

Furthermore, the spring action is produced by the elastic deformability of the two opposing lateral sections 42, 43 and the arcuate section 39.

In the event of an emergency unlocking of the lock 14, an increased rear hooking is caused when a tensile load is exerted on the clip 25 by pulling on the operating handle 28, since the two opposite lateral sections 42, 43 are held apart by the spring action of the arcuate section 39.

By means of the spring action of the arcuate section 39, a very high retaining force can now be introduced into the wall 22 of the body opening 13 via the clip 25.

In addition, the spring rate can be adjusted by the reinforcing ribs 58 on both sides. The retention force generated by the clip 25 is increased, for example by lengthening the respective stiffening rib 58 and/or increasing the cross-section of the respective stiffening rib to increase the spring rate and make the closed frame 38 stiffer.
