Abstract (en)

[origin: US7341290B2] According to the invention, when the door is locked, a locking part ( 10 ) is displaced into a rotary latch ( 20 ), which is first pivoted from its open position into a preliminary detent position. The rotary latch ( 20 ) is spring-loaded ( 25 ) in the direction of its open position and is usually supported on a catch ( 30 ) by means of an initial detent section ( 21 ). The rotary latch ( 20 ) is then rotated further by means of a motor-driven closing aid with the aid of a drive mechanism ( 53 ) and an eccentric element ( 50 ), until it reaches a primary detent position, in which the catch ( 30 ) rests on a primary detent section of the rotary latch ( 20 ). To obtain a reliable lock that can be universally used, a toggle-joint lever pair ( 40 ) and a spring-loaded follower ( 33 ) are provided between the eccentric element ( 50 ) and the rotary latch ( 20 ). One fixed end ( 41 ) of said toggle-joint lever pair ( 40 ) is rotatably mounted in a locally fixed bearing ( 14 ) and the other free end ( 42 ) is forcibly guided by guide elements ( 15 ) and simultaneously supports the spring-loaded follower ( 33 ). The toggle-joint lever pair ( 40 ) is supported on a control curve ( 51 ) of the eccentric element ( 50 ). The closing displacement is attained by the extension and/or bending of the toggle-joint lever pair. The follower then seizes the rotary latch ( 20 ) and propels it in a motor driven manner from its preliminary detent position into its primary detent position.
