Description
[0001] The invention relates to a door or hatch arrangement, in particular for a vehicle or a building, wherein the door or hatch arrangement comprises a leaf pivotably mounted in a frame for closing a frame opening. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle or a building with such a door or hatch arrangement.
[0002] Numerous hermetically sealing or shock-resistant ship doors and hatches for vessels are known from the prior art. DE 10 2006 041 192 B3 discloses a device for shock-resistant and gas- / watertight door or hatch arrangements on naval vessels. The device comprises a frame and a leaf pivotably mounted within it, which can be mechanically locked to the frame via a pivotable operating lever acting as a latch, with the engagement of seals. For locking, tabs distributed around the circumference of the frame are attached to adjustable linkage elements, which interact with corresponding tabs on the leaf in the closed position. This is achieved by displacing the linkage elements around the circumference of the guide via the operating lever, so that the locking tabs of the frame can be moved under the tabs of the leaf to lock it in place.
[0003] German patent application DE 10 2015 209 289 A1 shows a door arrangement in which the locking system is located in a frame. An operating lever is located on the door leaf.
[0004] The locking system is motor-driven. In an emergency, the door can be opened manually using the operating lever. The operating lever acts on a pivoting bolt, which is moved from its extended locking position to a retracted release position, thereby releasing a latch that it had been blocking. The latch itself is then moved into its release position by the operating lever or a lever assembly on the door side.
[0005] The object of the invention is to provide an improved locking mechanism for a door or hatch arrangement for a vehicle or a building.
[0006] The aforementioned task is initially solved by providing the frame with a locking system for locking the leaf to the frame and the leaf with an operating lever for operating the locking system.
[0007] As a result, the door or hatch arrangement can be operated intuitively, ergonomically, and safely by a single user. Furthermore, one-handed locking is possible. For the purposes of this description, the term "vehicle" refers to a land vehicle, a watercraft, an underwater vehicle, an aircraft, and a spacecraft.
[0008] According to the invention, the locking system comprises a coupling device with a pivotably mounted driver. This provides mechanical decoupling of the actuating lever from the frame-side locking system, so that the latter can be actuated independently of the actuating lever and, for example, automatically by an actuator. The driver can, for example, have a shape corresponding to an equilateral triangle.
[0009] In a technically advantageous embodiment, the actuating lever is double-sided and pivotally mounted on the blade about a pivot point. The actuating lever has a long handle and a short actuating finger on both sides of the pivot point, and the actuating finger is designed to actuate the locking system via the coupling device. This transforms relatively small manual operating forces into high actuating forces for the locking system. The actuating finger preferably has a curved shape.
[0010] Preferably, the handle is in a position parallel to the side of the leaf facing the coupling device when the locking system is unlocked, and in a position orthogonal to this side when locked. As a result, even in stressful situations, the unlocked and locked states are intuitively perceptible to the user.
[0011] In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the locking system comprises a plurality of locking bolts distributed around the circumference. In the locked position, each bolt engages a leaf-side tab, thereby blocking a corresponding recess on the frame intended for the passage of the tab. In the unlocked position, the bolts release the corresponding recess on the frame for the passage of the associated tab and disengage the locking bolt. This ensures reliable multiple locking of the leaf within the frame.
[0012] Preferably, the locking bars of the locking system each have a wedge-shaped inclined contact surface for a leaf-side tab, with the contact surfaces inclined in the direction of the tabs. This facilitates the engagement of the leaf-side tabs by the frame-side locking bars and reduces the initially required locking force. At the same time, the contact force with which the leaf is pulled against the frame increases steadily until the end of the locking process.
[0013] According to a further embodiment, during the transition from the unlocked to the locked state, a free end section of the actuating finger slides along a rear surface of the driver, thereby retracting from a home position. A concave inner surface of the actuating finger then slides along a short leg of a U-profile of the coupling device, displacing the U-profile and the bolts connected to it by a synchronous mechanism in a first circumferential direction of the frame until the locked state is reached. This allows the locking state to be achieved intuitively by simply pressing down the actuating lever.
[0014] According to the invention, after the actuating finger of the operating lever passes through, the driver snaps back into its initial position due to a spring preload. During the transition from the locked to the unlocked state, the driver remains in its initial position, resisting the force exerted by the approaching actuating finger. This allows a convex outer surface of the actuating finger to slide along a contact surface of the driver, engaging the U-profile and the locking bolts connected to it by means of the synchronizing mechanism in a second circumferential direction of the frame, opposite to the first, until the unlocked state is reached. This enables the unlocked state to be reached intuitively by simply lifting the actuating lever.
[0015] Preferably, the locking system can be moved into the locked state by means of at least one actuator. Consequently, at least one door or hatch assembly can be moved into the locked state from a central location, similar to a central locking mechanism. It is assumed that the door or hatch assembly is in the fully closed but unlocked state and that the at least one actuator is not self-locking or requires only a moderate force to return the actuator to the unlocked position.
[0016] In a further embodiment, the locking state of the locking system, activated by the at least one actuator, can be manually released by pivoting the handle into the orthogonal position and then back into the parallel position. This allows a door or hatch assembly locked by the actuator to be manually reopened if necessary. It is assumed that the handle is in the parallel position to the frame at the beginning, during, and after the locking process is completed by the actuator. Furthermore, the actuator should not offer any significant mechanical resistance to the change between the locked and unlocked states. Therefore, the actuator is preferably not self-locking. For example, a pneumatic cylinder that is vented after the movement or a hydraulic cylinder that is depressurized after the movement could be used.
[0017] Preferably, the handle of the operating lever has a cranked section. This ensures that the handle maintains a sufficiently large distance from the frame in the orthogonal position.
[0018] Furthermore, the aforementioned problem is solved by a vehicle or building with at least one door or hatch arrangement according to any one of claims 1 to 11. This provides an intuitive and one-handed, yet secure, locking mechanism for a vehicle or building.
[0019] A preferred embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to schematic figures. The same structural elements are designated with the same reference numerals in the figures. They show Figure 1 shows a top view of the inside of a door or hatch assembly in an unlocked state; Figure 2 shows a top view of the inside of the door or hatch assembly of Fig. 1in a locked state, Figure 3 a perspective view of a locking system with an actuating lever of the door or hatch arrangement of Fig. 1 in the unlocked state, Figure 4 shows an enlarged section of the perspective view of the locking system and the operating lever of the door or hatch assembly. Fig. 3 in the unlocked state, Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the locking system and the operating lever of the door or hatch assembly. Fig. 4 in the locked state, and Figure 6 shows an alternative embodiment of the locking system of the door or hatch arrangement in a partially locked state.
[0020] The Figure 1Figure 1 shows a top view of the inside of a door or hatch assembly in an unlocked state. A door or hatch assembly 100 includes, among other things, a leaf 106 pivotably mounted in a frame 102 by means of four hinges S1,...,4 for closing a frame opening 110. A complex locking system 116 for locking the leaf 106 to the frame 102 multiple times is also provided on an inside surface 112 of the door or hatch assembly 100. An actuating lever 120 for actuating the locking system 116 is arranged on an inside surface 118 of the leaf.
[0021] The locking system 116 of the door or hatch assembly 100 comprises, by way of example, twelve leaf-side tabs L 1,...,12, which interact with twelve frame-side bolts R 1,...,12 to lock the door or hatch assembly 100. The tabs L 1,...,12 and the bolts R 1,...,12 are shown here, by way of example, positioned essentially uniformly spaced around the perimeter of the frame 102 or the leaf 106. Alternatively, fewer or more than twelve tabs and bolts can be provided on the door or hatch assembly 100, with each tab interacting with an associated bolt. Furthermore, a non-uniform spacing of the tabs and bolts around the perimeter, at least in sections, is possible.
[0022] In the unlocked state illustrated here, the bolts R 1,...,12 release a corresponding recess on the frame side – which, for the sake of clarity, is not labelled here – or release the rear grip of the tabs L 1,...,12, so that the leaf-side tabs L 1,...,12 can pass through the recesses on the frame side and the door or hatch assembly 100 can be opened without difficulty. The bolts R 1,...,12 are mechanically coupled to each other by means of a circumferential synchronizing mechanism 126 and can therefore be operated simultaneously by a user, among other things, by means of the central operating lever 120. For this purpose, the locking system 116 is mechanically connected to the operating lever 120 by means of a coupling device 130.The actuating lever 120 is preferably designed as a two-sided lever and is pivotably mounted on the inner surface 118 of the leaf 106 at a pivot point 132. On both sides of the pivot point 132, the actuating lever 120 has a long handle 134 and a short, curved actuating finger 140, the actuating finger 140 being designed to actuate the locking system 116 by means of the interposed coupling device 130. The long handle 134 of the actuating lever 120 has a cranked section 136 to increase the distance to the frame 102 and thereby facilitate gripping by hand.
[0023] In the unlocked state of the locking system 116 of the door or hatch arrangement 100 illustrated here, the handle 134 of the actuating lever 120 is in a parallel position with respect to a side 144 of the sheet 106 facing the coupling device 130, whereas in a locked state the handle 134 is in an orthogonal position to it (see in particular Fig. 2 ).
[0024] The parallel position clearly signals to the user in an intuitively perceptible way that the door or hatch arrangement 100 is in the unlocked state and can be easily opened and passed through.
[0025] Starting from the unlocked state, the user can pivot the operating lever 120 in the direction of the black arrow 150 by approximately a quarter turn clockwise to move the frame-side bolts R 1,...,12 in a first circumferential direction U 1 in order to set the locking state of the door or hatch assembly 100 (see in particular Fig. 2 ).
[0026] The Figure 2 A top view shows the inside of the door or hatch assembly of Fig. 1 in a locked state.
[0027] The frame opening 110 of the door or hatch arrangement 100 is closed by the leaf 106, which is hinged to the frame 102 by means of the four hinges S 1,...,4.
[0028] In contrast to the representation of Fig. 1The handle 134 and the actuating finger 140 of the actuating lever 120, which can be pivoted about the pivot point 132, are here in an orthogonal position with respect to the side 144 of the sheet 106 or, from the user's point of view, in an approximately horizontal position, so that the user is shown in an unambiguous way, even in a stressful or dangerous situation, that the door or hatch arrangement 100 is in the locked state and passage is impossible.
[0029] In the locked state, the frame-side bolts R 1,...,12 engage behind the leaf-side tabs L 1,...,12 of the locking system 116, which can be operated centrally by means of the operating lever 120, or cover the recesses which are also not described here and thus block the passage of the leaf-side tabs L 1,...,12 through the recesses within the frame 102.
[0030] By shifting the frame-side bolts R 1,...,12 in a second circumferential direction U 2 by pivoting the operating lever from the orthogonal position back into the parallel position of Fig. 1 The unlocked state of the door or hatch assembly 100 can then be reached. The second circumferential direction U 2 is oriented opposite to the first circumferential direction (cf. Fig. 1 , reference mark U 1 ).
[0031] To reset the unlocking state from the given locking state, it is necessary to pivot the handle 134 of the operating lever 120 in the direction of the black arrow 152 by about a quarter turn counterclockwise, whereby the bolts R 1,...,12 move in the second circumferential direction U 2 and release the frame-side recesses for passage of the leaf-side tabs L 1,...,12.
[0032] The Figure 3illustrates a perspective view of a locking system with an operating lever of the door or hatch arrangement of Fig. 1 in the unlocked state. The frame opening 110 of the frame 102 is completely closed by the leaf 106, so that the door or hatch assembly 100 is in the closed, but unlocked state.
[0033] The bolt R 1 of the locking system 116 is in its furthest retracted position in the second circumferential direction U 2, whereby the bolt R 1 completely releases the recess A 1, so that the leaf-side tab L 1 can pass through the recess A 1 in the direction of the black arrow 160 and the door or hatch assembly 100 can be opened by pivoting the leaf 106 out of the frame 102. The same applies to the other bolts, tabs and recesses of the locking system 116, which are not shown here.
[0034] The bolt R 1 and all other bolts each have a wedge-shaped approach surface 162 inclined towards the tabs. Due to the wedge-shaped approach surfaces of the bolts, the leaf 106 is pulled against the frame 102 with increasingly higher force during a locking process until a flat surface 164 of the frame-side bolt R 1 slides under the leaf-side tab L 1. Consequently, in conjunction with sealing elements not shown in the drawing, a hermetically sealed closure of the leaf 106 within the frame opening 110 of the frame 102 is achieved when the door or hatch assembly 100 is closed and fully locked.
[0035] The actuating lever 120 is mounted at the pivot point 132 by means of a pedestal 166 on the inner side 118 of the blade 106 and is rotated approximately a quarter turn. orSwivels 90°. On both sides of the pivot point 132 of the actuating lever 120, the actuating finger 140 is located. oran actuating hook and the handle 134 extending from it. The short actuating finger 140 of the actuating lever 120 allows the coupling device 130 of the locking system 116 to be actuated with minimal force by the relatively long handle 134, i.e., it can be linearly displaced in both circumferential directions U 1,2. Due to the coupling device 130, a mechanical coupling between the actuating finger 140 and the locking system 116 does not always exist, depending on the position of the actuating lever 120. The coupling device 130, however, is rigidly connected to the synchronizing mechanism 126 and the bolt R 1 arranged thereon, whereby the bolt R 1 and the other bolts (not shown here) move accordingly, depending on the position of the actuating lever 120, in both circumferential directions U 1,2 to release or block the recess A 1 in the frame 102.Move along page 144 of sheet 106.
[0036] The coupling device 130 has an approximately triangular, pivotable driver 170, which is guided by a pin 172. For this purpose, the pin 172 runs in a circular arc guide 174 of a cover 176 of the coupling device 130. The driver 170 is shown in the illustration of Fig. 3 in a basic position pre-tensioned by means of a spring not shown, from which the driver 170 can only be pivoted out after overcoming the pre-tension force in the direction of a curved black arrow 180 by the actuating finger 140 of the actuating lever 120.
[0037] The Figure 4 shows an enlarged section of the perspective view of the locking system and the operating lever of the door or hatch assembly of Fig. 3 in the unlocked state.
[0038] The door or hatch arrangement 100 comprises the surrounding frame 102 and the leaf 106 pivotably mounted therein for closing the frame opening 110.
[0039] The actuating lever 120 is pivotally mounted at the pivot point 132 by means of the pedestal 166 on the inner surface 118 of the leaf 106, allowing it to pivot approximately 90°. The handle 134 of the actuating lever 120, which enables high locking and unlocking forces, has a cranked section 136 to ensure sufficient clearance from the frame 102. The actuating finger 140 of the actuating lever 102, which is short in relation to this, has a free, fingertip-like end section 190. The actuating finger 140 and the handle 134 are located on both sides of the pivot point 132.
[0040] The coupling device 130 has a U-profile 194 with a short leg 196 and a long leg 198 running parallel to the short leg 196, between which a crossbar 200 runs, which is rigidly connected to the synchronizing mechanism 126. The long leg 198 is also connected to the synchronizing mechanism 126 by means of an L-shaped section 202. The driver 170 is pivotally attached in the area of the section 202 and is biased in the direction of the actuating finger 140. In the basic position of the driver 170 illustrated here, it can only be pivoted out of the shown basic position in the direction of arrow 180 after overcoming the bias force by the actuating finger 140.
[0041] The driver 170 has a back surface 206 and a running surface 208. The pin 172 is provided on the running surface 208 for additional guidance of the driver 170 within the arc-shaped guide of the coupling device 130's cover (not shown here). Furthermore, the driver 170 has a side surface 210. The back surface 206 and the side surface 210 of the driver 170 are approximately the same length and are shown here, for illustrative purposes only, at essentially right angles to each other. In the area of an imaginary line of intersection between an extension of the running surface 208 (indicated only by dashed lines) and the side surface 210, the driver 170 is pivotally connected at an end pivot point 212 of a short projection 214. This projection 214, oriented parallel to the crossbar 200, is placed between the L-shaped section 202 and the long leg 198 of the U-profile 194.
[0042] On both sides of the free end section 190 of the actuating finger 140, a convex outer surface 218 and a concave inner surface 220 extend, wherein an undesignated cross-sectional area of the actuating finger 140 increases continuously from the free end section 190 to the pivot point 132 of the actuating lever 120.
[0043] By pivoting the actuating lever 120 by approximately 90° in the direction of the black rotation arrow 226 – starting from the unlocked state of the locking system 116 of the door or hatch assembly 100 – the concave inner surface 220 of the actuating finger 140 slides along the short leg 196 of the U-profile 194 of the coupling device 130 and displaces it together with the synchronizing mechanism 126 and the bolts R 1,2 attached to it in the circumferential direction U 1. As a result, the frame-side bolts R 1,2 move over the frame-side recesses A 1,2 until these are completely covered and simultaneously engage the leaf-side tabs L 1,2, thereby achieving the fully locked state of the locking system 116 of the door or hatch assembly 100. The same applies to all other tabs, latches and frame-side recesses not shown here (see especially...). Fig. 1 , 2The driver 170 remains in the unpivoted basic position shown here during this process.
[0044] The synchronizing mechanism 126 of the locking system 116 can optionally be displaced in the circumferential direction U 1 independently of the actuating lever 120 by means of an actuator 230, which is only indicated by dashed lines in the drawing and is preferably not self-locking. Thus, the door or hatch assembly 100 can be moved from the (closed) unlocked state to at least the locked state by means of the actuator 230 (see figure). Fig. 5 ), assuming that the actuating lever 120 is in the parallel position shown here to page 144 of sheet 106.
[0045] The actuator 230 can be remotely controlled and / or manually operated by the user via a control element provided locally in the area of the door or hatch assembly 100. The actuator 230 is preferably not self-locking, meaning that the user can, if necessary, manually return the door or hatch assembly 100 from the locked state – activated by the actuator 230 – to the unlocked state using the actuating lever 120, which interacts with the driver 170 of the coupling device 130.
[0046] After manually setting the locking state without using the actuator 230, the handle 134 of the operating lever 120 is in the orthogonal position with respect to the side 144 of the sheet 106, i.e., from the user's point of view, the handle 134 runs perpendicular to the frame opening 110 (see in particular Fig. 2If the user now pivots the actuating lever 120 by approximately 90° opposite to the direction of rotation 226, the convex outer surface 218 of the actuating finger 140 runs against the contact surface 208 of the driver 170 – which does not retract in this direction and remains in its position – and moves the U-profile 194 of the coupling device 130 together with the synchronizing mechanism 126 and the latches R 1,2 arranged thereon in the circumferential direction U 2 back into the unlocked position shown here. The unlocked state of the locking system 116 is reached again when the latches R 1,2 have completely released the recesses A 1,2 and the rear engagement of the leaf-side tabs L 1,2 by the latches R 1,2 is released.
[0047] The movement sequence described above occurs contrary to the preferred direction of actuation of the actuator 230, which for this reason is not self-locking or has a freewheel. In the unlocked state of Fig. 4 The operating lever 120 is in the parallel position in relation to the side 144 of the sheet 106, that is, from the user's point of view, the operating lever 120 is vertical within the frame opening 110.
[0048] The Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the locking system and the operating lever of the door or hatch assembly of Fig. 4In the locked position. The leaf 106 completely closes the frame opening 110 of the frame 102, so that the door or hatch assembly 100 is closed. The bolts R 1,2 engage under the tabs L 1,2 and simultaneously cover the frame-side recesses A 1,2, so that the door or hatch assembly 100 is additionally in the locked position. Due to the preceding manual actuation, the handle 134 of the operating lever 120 is in the orthogonal position relative to the side 144 of the leaf 106. The operating finger 140 has the free end section 190 as well as the convex outer surface 218 and the concave inner surface 220. By pivoting the actuating lever 120 in the direction of the black rotation arrow 240, the convex outer surface 218 of the actuating finger 140 presses against the contact surface 208 of the driver 170, which, however, does not move away from the actuating finger 140 in this direction or remains in its basic position.As a result, the U-profile 194 of the coupling device 130 with the synchronizing mechanism 126 shifts in the second circumferential direction U 2, so that the frame-side latches R 1,2 release the recesses A 1,2. At the same time, the rear engagement of the leaf-side tabs L 1,2 by the frame-side latches R 1,2 is released. Consequently, the unlocked state is reached and the tabs L 1,2 can pass through the frame-side recesses A 1,2, so that the leaf 106 can be swung out of the frame opening 110 of the frame 102 to open the door or hatch assembly 100.
[0049] As part of the above-explained displacement of the synchronous mechanism 126, the non-self-locking actuator 230 is accordingly retracted in the circumferential direction U 1.
[0050] Was the locking state determined from the unlocking state of the door or hatch arrangement 100 according to Fig. 4By means of the actuator 230 – that is, with the actuating lever 120 in the parallel position – the locking state can be manually released. For this purpose, the actuating lever 120 is first moved into its orthogonal position by pivoting it in the opposite direction of the rotation arrow 240 from the resulting parallel position (not shown here), whereby the actuating finger 140 runs along the back surface 206 of the driver 170 and pushes it in the direction of the arrow 180, whereby the driver 170 snaps back into its initial position due to the spring preload after passing the actuating finger 140.Subsequently, the actuating lever 120 can be returned to the parallel position by pivoting it in the direction of the rotation arrow 240, whereby the convex outer surface 218 of the actuating finger 140 slides along the contact surface 208 of the driver 170 which remains in the home position, and the U-profile 194 of the coupling device 130 together with the locking bars R 1,2 moves in the circumferential direction U 2, which is oriented opposite to the circumferential direction U 1, until the unlocked state is reached (see in particular . Fig. 4 ).
[0051] As a result, user-side manual unlocking of the door or hatch assembly 100 from a locking state activated by means of the actuator 230 is possible by the user pivoting down and then pivoting back up the actuating lever 120 by approximately 90° each time due to the locking pawl effect of the follower 170.
[0052] The Figure 6Figure 1 shows an alternative embodiment of the locking system of the door or hatch assembly in a partially locked state. The leaf 106 closes the frame opening 110 of the frame 102 of the door or hatch assembly 100. The locking system 116 is still in a partially locked state because the bolt R1 has not yet fully released the recess A1, and thus the tab L1 for opening the leaf 106 cannot pass through the recess A1. By moving the coupling device 130 and the synchronizing mechanism 126 connected to it in the circumferential direction U1, the locking state is achieved, and conversely, by moving it in the opposite circumferential direction U2, the unlocking state is achieved. The approximately U-shaped coupling device 130 is mechanically connected to the synchronizing mechanism 126 via the crossbar 200 and the approximately L-shaped section 202.The actuating lever 120 can be pivoted by the user about the pivot point 132. The actuating finger 140 and the cranked section 136 of the actuating lever 120 are designed on both sides of the pivot point 132 in the manner of a double-sided lever.
[0053] In contrast to the embodiment described above, a driver 250 of the coupling device 130 is here essentially cuboid in shape with rounded ends which are not labelled for the sake of clarity (see in particular the following). Figs. 3 to 5(reference numeral 130). The driver 250 is pivotally mounted at a pivot point 254 or a bearing point on a fork 252 by an angle of approximately 30° to 60°. The fork 252 is a continuation of the projection 214 of the coupling device 130, the projection 214 being formed on the long leg 198 of the coupling device 130 and pointing towards the blade 106. The fork 252 has two legs, which for clarity are also not labelled, the free end sections 256, 258 of which each have an approximate quarter-circle shape. The legs of the fork 252 run parallel to each other and are spaced apart.
[0054] The driver 250 has a first fork-side section 264, which is pivotably mounted between the legs of the fork 252. Furthermore, the driver 250 has a second section 266, with a greater material thickness, pointing towards the actuating finger 140 and adjoining the first section 264. Due to the increased material thickness of the second section 266, at least one rounded shoulder S exists between the first and second sections 264, 266 of the driver 250. This shoulder S abuts at least one concave inner surface (also unnamed) of the quarter-circle-shaped end sections 256, 258 of the fork 252. Furthermore, the driver 250 is subjected to pressure against the concave inner surfaces of the free end sections 256, 258 of the fork 252 by means of an invisible preload element, such as a spring element, an elastomeric element or the like.In the second section 266 of the driver 250, a fastening element 270, a pin or the like is provided on the upper side, which serves to additionally guide the driver 250 in the arc-shaped guide not shown here. or the backdrop in the lid of the coupling device serves (cf.

[0055] The function of the driver 250 is identical to that of the driver of the coupling device in Fig. 4 , 5 (cf. in particular reference numbers 130, 170). If the actuating finger 140 is pivoted clockwise about the pivot point 132 by means of the actuating lever 120, the driver 250 can, after overcoming the force exerted by the preload element, move towards the frame 102 and, after passing the actuating finger 140, return to its initial position. Fig. 6spring back. In this process, the actuating finger 140 first slides along a flat back surface 272 of the second section 266 of the driver 250. After the driver 250 springs back, the actuating finger 140 slides along the short leg 196 of the coupling device 130 and displaces it together with the synchronizing mechanism 126 in the circumferential direction U 2 of the frame 102 until the fully locked state is reached.
[0056] If the actuating finger 140 is pivoted counterclockwise about the pivot point 132, the driver 250 cannot move out of the way. This is because the at least one rounded shoulder S of the driver 250 bears against at least one of the concavely curved inner surfaces of at least one end section 256, 258 of the fork 252, which thus acts as a support for the driver 250 in this pivoting direction. In this pivoting direction, the actuating finger 140 slides along a contact surface 274 of the second section 266 of the driver 250 opposite the back surface 272. As a result, the coupling device 130, together with the synchronizing device 126, is moved again in the second circumferential direction U 2 until the fully unlocked state is reached.
[0057] The actuator intended for the automated operation of coupling device 130 and synchronizing mechanism 126 is not shown here for the sake of clarity in the drawing (see figure). Fig. 4 , 5 , reference number 230).
[0058] The invention relates to a door or hatch assembly 100, particularly for a vehicle or building, wherein the door or hatch assembly 100 comprises a leaf 106 pivotably mounted in a frame 102 for closing a frame opening 110. According to the invention, the frame 102 has a locking system 116 for locking the leaf 106 to the frame 102, and the leaf 106 has an actuating lever 120 for actuating the locking system 116. As a result, the closed door or hatch assembly 100 can be intuitively and manually moved into a locked or unlocked state by a user. Furthermore, a locked state activated by an actuator 230 can be manually released by the user. Reference symbol list
