Latchable vehicle element i.e. lid, for closing/locking aperture in vehicle e.g. motor car, has locking element comprising inner retainer into which locking body is placed such that locking element is not compressible in compression region

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The element (1) has a cover body (10) displaceably arranged relative to a retainer (20). A locking connection (30) fixes the cover body in a position arranged between the cover body and the retainer. A locking element (35) is compressed in a resilient compression region (37) when the locking element is introduced into a detent aperture (32) of the retainer or removed from the aperture. The locking element comprises an inner retainer (36) into which a locking body (38) i.e. ball, is placed such that the locking element is not compressible in the compression region and placed in the aperture. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Latchable vehicle element i.e. lid (claimed) for closing/locking an aperture in a vehicle e.g. land vehicle such as motor car. Can also be used for an air vehicle and a watercraft. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The locking element is provided with the inner retainer into which the locking body is placed such that the locking element is not compressible in the compression region and placed in the detent aperture, so that the latchable vehicle element closes/locks an aperture in a vehicle in a simple and reliable manner, and the vehicle element can be manufactured with compact size so as to reduce an installation space required for the vehicle element. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic sectional view of a latchable vehicle element. 1 : Latchable vehicle element 10 : Cover body 20 : Retainer 30 : Locking connection 32 : Detent aperture 35 : Locking element 36 : Inner retainer 37 : Resilient compression region 38 : Locking body.
