Abstract

A locking hook on an injection-molded or die-cast part, comprising a body (2) of variable diameter in cross-section, wherein the body (2) has a flattened surface (3) on a longitudinal side which extends to the immediate vicinity (1) of a chamfer (4) arranged at the free end, characterized in that the geometry of the locking hook enables a locking function in particularly narrow installation spaces.

Description

[0001] The drawing, sheet 1 of 1, shows a locking hook ( Fig. ), which is an integral part of a molded part produced by injection molding or die casting.

[0002] The locking hook comprises an essentially cylindrical, round body (2) whose diameter can be adapted to the specific application.

[0003] As in the Fig. As shown in / 3 / 4 / 5, the round body (2) is provided with a flattened surface (3) on one longitudinal side. This flattening extends from the attachment surface to just before the beveled tip (1) formed at the free end.

[0004] The ramp (4) serves to facilitate sliding over a counter contour during the locking process.

[0005] The combination of flattening (3+1) and chamfer (4) creates a particularly space-saving locking geometry, which enables the use of the locking hook even in very narrow installation spaces.
