Benefits of technology

The invention is a safety locking mechanism for a receptacle that can be opened after an accident. The receptacle can be opened by opening the lock, even if a higher force is needed after an accident. The receptacle does not need to be opened in an unfamiliar manner. The mechanism is designed to open in the same direction as the mass is deflected, which ensures that the lock is held closed during normal driving operations. The mass can be deflected in two directions, and a sloped surface acts on the mass to achieve the basic position. The technical effects of the invention are improved safety and ease of use for the receptacle.

Problems solved by technology

Overpressing the receptacle in the closed position requires an increased force when the receptacle is locked, not only by way of the push-push locking mechanism, but additionally by way of the safety lock, after an accident.
This decreases the safety against opening of the receptacle as a result of accelerations that occur in the event of an accident.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The safety locking mechanism 1 is part of a receptacle according to the invention, such as a storage compartment in a motor vehicle, which is not shown in detail. The safety locking mechanism 1 is used to keep the receptacle closed in the event of an accident. For opening, the receptacle can be pulled out in a drawer-like manner or can be pivoted, or the receptacle comprises a cover that can be opened, which likewise shall be regarded as opening of the receptacle. The list is intended for illustrative purposes and is not exhaustive, but exemplary.

[0018]The receptacle comprises a openable lock 2 for keeping the receptacle closed and for opening it. The lock 2 comprises a closing element 3, which is displaceably guided transversely to an opening direction 4 of the receptacle. The opening direction 4 of the receptacle is indicated by an arrow in the drawing, and a displacement direction 5 of the closing element 3 is indicated by a double arrow. The closing element 3 comprises a s...

Abstract

A receptacle including a safety locking mechanism in a motor vehicle. A lever is providing including a mass, which is held by a snap-fit device releasably in a non-deflected basic position or in a deflected locking position. In the deflected locking position, the lever, by way of a head, holds a closing element of a lock in a closed position. The lock can be opened in a non-deflected position of the lever. During opening, the lock restores the lever to the basic position, whereby the receptacle can be opened after an accident. The lever is deflected by accelerations that occur in the event of an accident.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is a continuation under 35 U.S.C. §120 of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 246,727, filed on Aug. 25, 2016, which claims priority under 35 USC §119 to German Patent Application No. 10 2015 114 788.2 filed on Sep. 4, 2015, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The invention relates to a receptacle comprising a safety locking mechanism for a vehicle having the features described herein. The receptacle is, in particular, provided for motor vehicles, but may also be used in other land vehicles, aircraft and watercraft. The safety locking mechanism of the receptacle is used to keep the receptacle in the vehicle closed in the event of an accident. Such receptacles are storage compartments, ashtrays or cupholders, for example. For example, they can comprise a cover or they can be movable, such as pivotable or displaceable in a drawer-like manner, for opening. For safet...
