Disc or disc unit for insertion into a predetermined opening of a vehicle or the like

To close openings in a vehicle body, for example, in the passenger compartment, panes without any frame are sometimes used. However, pane units are usually used in which the pane is provided with a frame that only partially or completely surrounds it. The pane is often permanently connected to the edge area of the vehicle body surrounding the opening using a bead of adhesive.

The correct distance between the pane and the edge area of the opening is generally ensured by spacers that are arranged in the overlap area of the pane and the edge area of the opening and are connected either to the pane or to the edge area of the opening. The alignment of the pane in the other two directions, i.e. within the plane spanned by the pane or by the edge area of the opening, is carried out in different ways.

Sometimes the panes are freely aligned without any positioning elements acting laterally, i.e. in the plane of the pane, and then placed at the edge of the opening. This requires a great deal of care from the assembly personnel and also requires an assembly aid to ensure that the pane does not shift until the adhesive has become sufficiently effective, as this would be detrimental to the adhesive bead.

To avoid these difficulties, stops are often used, which are generally located on the pane but can also be attached to the edge of the opening.

which is to be closed by the window. These stops are arranged in the edge area of the window and interact with the edge of the opening on the vehicle. If only one stop is used, the window can only be placed at this point and must otherwise be freely aligned, which in turn requires great care from the assembly personnel. Otherwise, deviations in the position of the window in relation to the opening can occur, which under unfavourable circumstances can affect the appearance of the vehicle.

If at least two stops are used, which are arranged next to each other at a distance on the same edge section, the pane can be aligned at least to the outer connecting line of the two stops. If the two stops are arranged on two adjacent edge areas, the pane can be aligned at least to the tangents of the two stops which intersect at a certain angle. In the directions parallel to the connecting line or within the specified angular position of the two intersecting tangents, the final alignment of the pane again depends on the care of the assembly personnel. Only with three or more stops, which are not arranged simultaneously along a single edge section but at least on two or more edge sections, is the pane aligned exclusively by the stops. In the other edge areas, the tolerances of the shape and dimensions of the pane on the one hand and the opening on the other can have a full effect. In vehicles, this can affect both the appearance and have functional disadvantages, e.g. the occurrence of wind noise.

In addition to these simple attacks, sometimes
such stops are used which provide an additional holding effect
in the direction of the surface normal of the disk to
There are also holding elements that only
in the direction of the surface normal of the disc. When using these stops and holding elements,
There is no need for special assembly aids, which would otherwise make the assembly
make it more difficult or at least more complicated.

The invention is based on the object of creating a disc or disc unit in which an easier and simpler positioning of the disc at the opening to be closed is possible and in which the correct insertion of the
Disc is less dependent on the care of the assembly personnel. This task is achieved by a disc or disc unit with the features specified in claim 1
solved.

Because there is at least one positioning device which is permanently connected to the disc on the one hand and which has a spring element with a contact surface which, in terms of position, direction of movement and mode of operation,
is matched to the edge of the opening to be closed by the disc, the disc can be positioned easily and simply at the opening. This applies in particular if, according to an embodiment according to one of claims 2 to 6, according to the shape of the disc and the opening or due to special requirements for the positioning of the disc at the one or more edge

sections further positioning devices are arranged
The positioning devices allow
not only manufacturing tolerances of the disc and/or the
opening, but also other requirements
to be fulfilled, such as a certain relative position of the window in relation to adjacent parts of the motor vehicle.

By means of a design according to claim 7, the positioning of the disc can be supported in that positioning in one or more directions is only possible up to a certain end position, which is determined by the stop bodies.

With a design according to claim 8, the production of the positioning device is very simple. With a design according to claim 9, higher forces can be absorbed or, conversely, caused if necessary.

A design according to claim 10 creates very low positioning devices that protrude from the window only slightly beyond the edge area of the opening. This means that, for example, the interior paneling of the motor vehicle can be attached much closer to the body. This benefits the interior paneling to be anchored well to the body and also increases the interior space. A further development according to claim 11 simplifies the manufacture of the positioning devices and increases the force transmission capacity of the spring arms with otherwise identical dimensions. This applies even more to a design according to claim 12 because the spring clip has a higher moment of resistance to bending, particularly when its two ends are clamped. Such a design is therefore particularly suitable for arranging the positioning devices along the lower edge of a window, where in addition to the positioning forces, the weight of the window itself must also be absorbed.

In a design according to claim 13 or claim 14, the ramp surface creates an insertion bevel, which makes it possible to place the disc in the direction of its surface normal, i.e. without lateral threading movements, at the edge area of the opening and bring it into the final position. This is supported by a design according to claim 15 or claim 16, because the

The support surface prevents the Fecler arms or the spring clip from moving in the wrong direction, namely in the direction of the surface normal, and not in the plane of the edge area of the opening in which they are intended to apply positioning forces.

A design according to claim 17 creates a very simply designed positioning device. A further development according to claim 18 also makes it possible to position the disk in the direction of its surface normal and to bring it into its final position. A further development according to claim 19 achieves a higher flexibility of the spring element. An additional development according to claim 20 makes it easier to position the disk and bring it into position.

In a design according to claim 21, a relatively simple connection option for a metal spring element to the plastic base body is achieved. In the further development according to claim 22, the parts are designed very simply. In a further development according to claim 23, greater holding forces and at the same time greater flexibility of the spring element can be achieved. An additional further development according to claim 24 ensures the cohesion between the spring element and the base body.

In an embodiment according to claim 25, the positioning devices can also take on the task of a spacer between the pane and the edge area of the opening, so that separate spacers can be omitted.

A design according to claim 26 ensures that spring elements made of metal do not come into direct contact with the edge area of the opening, which is usually painted. This also

This prevents the metal spring elements from damaging the paintwork of the edge area either when the window is inserted or later during the unavoidable elastic deformation movements of the body when the vehicle is in operation. This could lead to undesirable corrosion phenomena. Further developments according to claim 27 and/or claim 28 achieve a secure connection between the plug-on part and the spring element.

A design according to claim 29 allows a very low overall height of the positioning devices to be achieved even when a metal spring element is used. In addition, the parts of the positioning device can be combined with one another very easily and simply. A further development according to claim 30 or claim 31 enables the spring arms to be anchored to the base body in a way that is easy to manufacture and easy to handle. In an additional development according to claim 32, the free mobility of the metal spring element relative to the base body is improved.

By means of a design according to claim 33, the elastic deformation path of the positioning device can be limited to a certain limit value without the need to use separate stop bodies. By means of a further development according to claim 34, this stop option can also be removed again if necessary after the positioning device in question has been attached.

In an embodiment according to claim 35, the stop elements can also assume an anchoring effect.

In an embodiment according to claim 36, the stop elements can also take on the function of spacers, which can then be omitted as separate parts.

In Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, positioning devices 71 are symbolically shown in different numbers and in different arrangement patterns on a schematically shown side window 70 of a motor vehicle. In Fig. 1, two positioning devices 71 are arranged in an inverted P arrangement on the lower edge section of the window 70, with a mutual distance between them.

and one positioning device each on the left and right side edge sections. The arrangement patterns can be varied, especially with regard to the number of positioning devices 71. 5

Similar arrangement patterns with the same positioning devices 71 or with modified positioning devices, namely with positioning devices 72 with a so-called lifting lock, with positioning devices 73 with lifting lock and an additional stop and with positioning devices 74 without lifting lock but with a break-out stop, as well as with stop bodies 75 and 77 can be seen in symbolic representation from Fig. 6 to Fig. 13. The stop body 77, which is modified compared to the simple stop body 75, is additionally provided with a so-called lifting lock. Here too, variations of the arrangement pattern are possible with regard to the number, type and selection of positioning devices and stop bodies.

The following explanations of specific embodiments of the positioning devices and the stop bodies apply regardless of whether these parts are arranged on a disk 80 (Fig. 15) or on a disk unit consisting of disk and frame.

As can be seen from Fig. 15, a positioning device 81 is connected to the disk 80, which has a base body 82 and a spring element 83. The positioning device 81 is manufactured as an injection molded part from a thermoplastic material in one piece.

The base body 82 has a flat adhesive surface 84 on its underside, by means of which it is permanently connected to the pane 80 with the aid of an adhesive.

The spring element 83 is formed by two spring arms 85 and 86. At their end facing the base body 82, they are permanently connected to each other and to the base body 82 at a common connection point 87.

The two spring arms 85 and 86 extend from the common connection point 87 in a direction towards the adhesive surface 84 of the base body and thus in a direction towards the disc parallel plane V-shaped with an obtuse spreading angle. At its two end sections 88 and 89 facing away from the base body 82, the surface on the inside of the V-shape serves as a contact surface 91 or 92 for contact with the edge 93 of an opening of a motor vehicle. This is in

Fig. 17 only indicated by the edge area 94, which

opening that is to be closed by the disk 80. The contact surfaces 91 and 92 are rounded in a cylindrical shape.

The contact surfaces 91 and 92 are guided by the spring arm 85 or 86 on a movement path that is aligned parallel to the disk 80. The spring arms 85 and 86 are arranged on the base body 83 at such a height or, in other words, extend from the base body 83 away to a height at which its contact surface or 92 is at least partially at the same height as the edge 93 of the opening on the motor vehicle 94 (Fig. 17).

As can be seen from Fig. 16 and Fig. 18, the end of the two spring arms 85 and 86 facing away from their contact surface 91 or 92 and their common connection point are arranged in the area of the rear edge 95 of the base body 83. The front edge 96 of the base body 83 is thus located on the inside of the V-shape of the plan view of the spring arms 85 and 86, which extend even further in this direction.

To position the disk 80 in relation to the edge region 94, the positioning devices 81 are arranged on the disk 80 in such a way that in the rest position of the spring element 83, the contact surface 91 or 92 of its spring arms and 86 at least partially protrudes into the plan projection of the edge region 94, as indicated in Fig. 18. When positioning the disk 80, the positioning devices 81 are brought so close to the edge 93 that after the contact surfaces 91 and 92 have contacted the edge 93, the spring arms 85 and 86 are elastically deformed and thereby tensioned (Fig. 18). The base body 83 can protrude more or less far into the plan projection of the edge region 94 because it is located in a different plane. As a result, the positioning device 81 achieves a relatively large holding torque in the plane perpendicular to both the disk 80 and the edge 93. The rear edge 95 of the base body 93 and thus of the entire positioning device 81 protrudes only the smallest possible amount beyond the edge 93 into the opening.

If individual parts or assemblies are not separately explained in the embodiments described below, it can be assumed that they are the same or at least similar to the corresponding parts or assemblies of the previously described embodiment.

The positioning device 101 shown in Fig. 15 to Fig. 22 has the base body 102 and the spring element 103. The base body 102 is designed in the same way as the base body 72 and has the adhesive surface 104 on its underside, via which it is permanently connected to the glass pane 80 by means of an adhesive. The spring element 103 is formed by the two spring arms 105 and 106.

The positioning device 101 is modified in two respects compared to the positioning device 81. In the

In the area of their end section 107 or 108 facing away from the base body 102, a ramp surface 111 or 112 is present on the upper side 109 of the spring arms 105 and 106 facing away from the disk 80. The upper edge 113 or 114 of the ramp surfaces 111 and 112 facing away from the base body is located outside the plan projection of the edge area 94, which is partially indicated in the left half of Fig. 20. The ramp surfaces 111 and 112 extend from their upper edge 113 or 114 downwards to the front side 115 or 116 of the spring arms 105 and 106 and into the plan projection of the edge area 94.

When the disc 80 is inserted into the edge region 94 of the motor vehicle, both parts are brought closer together in the direction of the surface normal of the disc 80 until the edge region 94 hits the ramp surfaces 101 and 102. As they move closer together, the end sections 107 and 108 of the spring arms 105 and 106 are elastically pushed back due to the ramp surfaces 111 and 112 until their contact surface 118 is behind the edge 93 and then slides along the edge 93 until the edge section 94 and the disc 80 have reached their final relative position, which is determined by spacers that will be explained later.

A further modification of the positioning device 101 consists in that in the area of the end section 107 or 108 of the spring arms 105 and 106 on their underside 119 there is an extension 121 or 122, which has a support surface 123 or 124 on its underside facing the disk 80, which is aligned parallel to the disk 80 and which is at a distance from the disk 80 that is smaller than the elastic deformability of the spring arms and 106 in the direction of the surface normal of the disk 80. The support surfaces 123 and 124 can also rest on the disk if later between the edge area 94 and the

Disc 80 no relative movements are to be expected due to elastic deformations of the motor vehicle.

The spring arms 105 and 106 are supported on the disk 80 in the direction of the surface normal via the support surface 123 and 124 when the edge region 94 hits the ramp surfaces 111 and 112 and then slides along them. The spring arms 105 and 106 can then only move in the direction of the surface normal of the disk 80 by the small distance between the support surfaces 123 and 124 and the disk 80 and are elastically deformed all the more reliably parallel to the disk 80 due to their ramp surfaces 111 and 112 until the contact surfaces 117 and 118 rest on the edge 93.

The positioning device 131 shown in Fig. 23 to Fig. 25 has the base body 132 and the spring element 133. The base body 132 is again permanently connected to the disk 80 via the adhesive surface 134 located on its underside. The spring element 133 is formed by the spring arms 135 and 136.

The positioning device 131 is further modified compared to the positioning device 101 in that on the spring arms 135 and 136, in the area of their end sections 137 and 138, there is a stop surface 141 and 142, respectively, which faces the pane 80. It is aligned at least approximately parallel to the pane 80 and is at a distance from the pane 80 that is at least approximately equal to the distance between the pane 80 and the inner side 139 of the edge area 94 of the opening of the motor vehicle facing away from the pane 80.

The contact surfaces 141 and 142 are formed by the underside of a projection 143 or 144, respectively, which is arranged on the front side of the end section 137 or 138 of the spring arms 135 and 136. The projections 143 and 144 are in the

- 15 -

Area of the ramp surface 145 or 146 of the spring arms 135 and 136. The ramp surfaces 145 and 146 extend to the front of the projections 143 and 144. The fall line of the ramp surfaces 145 and 146 are aligned at right angles to the spring arms 135 and 136 in the positioning device 131. However, it can also be aligned more or less at right angles to the edge 93 of the edge area 94, as is the case with the positioning device 101.

The positioning device 151 shown in Fig. 26 to Fig. 28 has the base body 152 and the spring element. The spring element 153 is formed by the spring arms 155 and 156. The positioning device 151 is modified from the positioning device 101 in that an extension 158 is present at the common connection point 157 of the spring arms 155 and 156 and the base body 153 on the front side of the positioning device 151, which has a contact surface on its front side that faces the edge region 94 (not shown here) of the motor vehicle. This contact surface 159 is arranged at least in part at the same height as the edge region 94. Its floor plan projection is either at least approximately aligned with the floor plan projection of the edge 93 of the edge area 94 or is set back from it by a greater or lesser distance.

Due to the stop surface 159 on the extension 158, the positioning device 151 can also take on a stop function, which is otherwise usually performed by pure stop bodies.

In order that the positioning device 151 can, if necessary, fulfil its positioning task without being restricted by the stop surface 159, at the connection point between the flange set 158 and the common connection point 157 of the base body 153 and the spring

Two break grooves 161 and 162 are provided on the arms 155 and 156, which facilitate the breaking off of the extension 158 with the contact surface 159 if necessary.

Above the contact surface 159, the upper front edge of the extension 158 is beveled by a ramp surface 163. This makes it easier to attach the pane 80 to the opening of the motor vehicle in the direction of its surface normal if, during this attachment, the plan projection of the contact surface 159 is already very close to the plan projection of the edge 93 of the edge region 94.

The positioning device 171 shown in Fig. 29 to Fig. 31 has the base body 172 and the spring element 173. The base body 172 is in turn permanently connected to the disk 80 by means of the adhesive surface 174 located on its underside.

The spring element 173 is formed by a spring clip 175, which has an arched outline (Fig. 31). The outline of the spring clip 175 can be half a circular ring, as shown in Fig. 31. However, the outline can also be formed by two equidistant basket arches or similar arched lines.

The outer surface in the apex area of the spring clip 175 forms the contact surface 176 of the positioning device 161. The two end sections 177 and 178 of the spring clip 175 facing away from the contact surface 176 are each permanently connected to the base body 172 via a connection point 179. This double-sided clamping gives the spring clip 175 a particularly high bending stiffness with a correspondingly large force absorption capacity or force transmission capacity. If, however, a greater elastic flexibility is desired with only a slightly reduced force transmission capacity, the positioning device 161 can be modified (in a manner not shown) to this effect.

- 17 -

It can be ensured that the spring clip 175 is permanently connected to the base body 162 only at one of its end sections and the other end section is movably guided by means of a longitudinal guide which is expediently formed by a wall which is aligned parallel to the imaginary connecting line of the two end sections and which is permanently connected to the base body.

The positioning device 181 with the base body 182 and the spring clip 183 shown in Fig. 32 to Fig. 34 is modified in comparison to the positioning device 171 in a similar way to the positioning device 101 compared to the positioning device 81. A ramp surface 185 is present on the middle part 184 of the spring clip 183 on the upper side facing away from the disk 80 (Fig. 32). Its upper edge 186 facing away from the base body 182 is located outside the plan projection of the edge 93 of the edge region 94. From there, the ramp surface 185 extends into the plan projection of the edge region 94 in the rest position of the spring clip 183, i.e. when the spring clip 183 is not tensioned. In the operating position, the contact surface 187 rests against the edge 93 of the edge region 94, whereby the spring clip 183, and in particular its central part 184, is elastically deformed in a plane parallel to the disk 80 in the direction of the base body 182.

To support the force acting on the ramp surface 185 in the direction of the surface normal of the disk 80 when the disk 80 is inserted, an extension 188 is provided on the underside of the central part 184, the underside of which serves as a support surface 189, which is aligned at least approximately parallel to the disk 80 and which is at a distance from the disk 80 that is less than the elastic deformability of the spring clip 183 in the direction of the surface normal of the disk.

The positioning device 191 shown in Fig. 35 with the base body 192 and the spring clip 193 is modified compared to the positioning device 181 in that an extension 196 is connected to the middle part 194 in extension of the ramp surface 195, which has the stop surface 197 on its underside. This, similar to the stop surfaces 141 and 142 on the spring arms 135 and 136, faces the disk 80 and is arranged at least approximately at the same height as the outside of the edge region 94. The stop surface 197 serves as a lifting lock in the positioning device 191.

In the positioning device 201 with the base body 202 and the spring clip 203 shown in Fig. 36 to Fig. 38, in addition to the equipment of the positioning device 191 on the middle part 204 with the ramp surface 205 below the extension 206, there is a further extension 207 which has a stop surface 208. This is facing away from the disk 80 and is arranged at least approximately at the same height as the inside of the edge region 94. This stop surface 208 on the extension 207 has a clear distance from the stop surface on the extension 206 facing the disk 80 (the stop surface 197 on the extension 196 in Fig. 35) which is at least equal to the thickness of the edge region 94. The stop surface 208 serves as a spacer on the positioning device 201, which determines the distance between the disk 80 and the edge region 94.

The positioning device 211 shown in Fig. 39 and Fig. 40 is also made entirely as a plastic molded part from a thermoplastic material. It has a base body 212 and a spring element 213.

The base body 212 has on its underside the flat adhesive surface 214, via which it is permanently connected to the disk 80.

The spring element 213 is formed by a single spring arm 215 which is molded onto the upper side of the base body 212.

Three length sections can be distinguished on the spring arm 215, namely a first elongated length section 216 and a second elongated length section 217, both of which are connected to one another by a middle length section 218 which is curved in an arc shape.

The first longitudinal section 216 extends away from the base body 212 and is aligned at least approximately normal to the disk 80. The second longitudinal section 217 extends from the connection point with the middle longitudinal section 218 in the direction of the disk 80, wherein it is arranged and aligned such that at the connection point with the middle longitudinal section 218 its outer side facing away from the first longitudinal section 216 is located outside the plan projection of the edge region 94 and that, in the rest position of the spring element 213, this outer side extends from the connection point into the plan projection of the edge region 94. This outer side of the longitudinal section 217 forms the contact surface 219 of the positioning device 211.

The positioning device 211 has a relatively high elastic flexibility because the three length sections of the spring element 213 are continuously connected to one another. If this is less desirable, the modified positioning device 221 can be used. The spring arm 223 connected to the base body 222 has only two length sections 224 and 225. The second length section 225 is connected directly, i.e. at an acute angle, to the end of the first length section 224 facing away from the base body 222.

- 20 -

An even further modification in this direction is provided in the positioning device 231. In this case, a spring element 233 is arranged on the base body 232, which is formed by a spring arm 234 with a single elongated length section that is aligned at least approximately normal to the disk 80. The surface section of the side of the spring arm 234 facing the edge region 94, which is at the same height as the edge region 94, forms the contact surface 295 of the positioning device 231.

With this relatively stiff spring element 233, the attachment of the disk 80 to the edge section 94 is made easier by the fact that a ramp surface 236 is arranged at the end of the spring element 233, the upper edge 237 of which, facing away from the base body 232, is located outside the plan projection of the edge 93 of the edge region 94 when the spring element 233 is not tensioned, and that the ramp surface 236 extends from there to its lower edge 238 into the plan projection of the edge section 94.

The positioning device 241 shown in Fig. 43 with the base body 242 and the spring arm 243 is modified compared to the positioning device 211 in that the end section 244 of the second longitudinal section 245 of the spring arm 243 is bent and that this bent section creates a stop surface 246 which faces the disk 80 and is located at least approximately at the same height as the outside of the edge region 94. This bent section with the stop surface 246 forms a lifting lock for the positioning device 241.

The positioning device 251 shown in Fig. 44, which has the base body 252 and the spring arm 253, is additionally modified compared to the positioning device 241 in that the end section 254 of the second longitudinal section 255 of the spring arm 253 is at a small distance

is angled away from the bend, specifically away from the base body 252. The top of the angle section 256 forms a stop surface 257 which faces away from the disk 80 and which is located at least approximately at the same height as the inside of the edge region 94. This angle section 256 with its stop surface 257 acts as a spacer between the disk 80 and the edge region 94.

In the positioning devices shown in Fig. 45 to Fig. 55, the base body is still designed as a plastic molded part. The spring element, on the other hand, is made of a metal, preferably spring steel. One or more holding elements for holding the spring element are present on the base body. If individual components or assemblies are not described separately below, it can also be assumed here that they are designed the same or at least similar to the corresponding components or assemblies described above.

The positioning device 261 shown in Fig. 45 and Fig. 46 has the base body 262 and the spring element 263.

The base body 262 has a flat adhesive surface 264 on its underside, via which it is permanently connected to the disk (not shown). On the top of the base body 262 there is a pocket 265 as a holding element for the spring element 263, the clear cross-sectional shape of which is matched to the cross-sectional shape of the spring element. The pocket 265 is aligned at least approximately normal to the adhesive surface 264 and thus to the disk 80.

The spring element 263 is formed by a straight leaf spring 266, which is inserted with its lower end section into the pocket 265 of the base body 262.

At the end of the leaf spring 266 facing away from the base body 262, an attachment part 267 is arranged, which has a pocket as a holding element, which is designed similarly to the pocket 265 on the base body 262. The front of the attachment part 267 serves as a contact surface 268 for the contact on the edge region 94. The upper end surface of the attachment part 267 facing away from the base body 262 is inclined downwards towards the contact surface 268 and thus forms a ramp surface 269, which corresponds, for example, to the ramp surface of the spring element 233 (Fig. 42).

The positioning device 271 shown in Fig. 47 and Fig. 48 has the base body 272 made of plastic and the spring arm 273 made of metal.

The spring arm 273 has, similar to the spring arm 215 of the positioning device 211 (Fig. 39 and Fig. 40), several length sections, namely the straight first length section 276, the straight second length section 277, the arcuate middle length section 278 and the foot section 279. This foot section 279 is bent at a right angle to the first length section 276, which is aligned perpendicular to the adhesive surface 274. It is matched to the pocket 275 in the base body 272, into which it is inserted.

A plug-in part 281, which has a pocket 282, is plugged onto the second longitudinal section 277, which runs diagonally downwards in the direction of the base body 272. This is matched to the end section of the second longitudinal section. The outside of the plug-in part 281 facing away from the first longitudinal section 276 forms the contact surface 283 of the positioning device 271 for the contact with the edge of the edge area of the motor vehicle (not shown).

The positioning device 291 shown in Fig. 49 to Fig. 52 has the base body 292 made of plastic and the spring element 293 made of metal. The basic structure of the positioning device 291 otherwise corresponds to the positioning device 101 (Fig. 19 to Fig. 22).

The base body 292 is permanently connected to the disk 80 via its adhesive surface 294.

The spring element 293 is formed by the two spring arms 295 and 296. They are connected to one another at a common connection point at their end facing the base body 292 and represent the two legs of a one-piece leaf spring 298 with at least an approximately V-shaped plan projection.

Three holding posts 301 ... 303 are provided as holding elements for the leaf spring 298, which are permanently connected to the base body by being molded onto it.

The middle support post 301 is cylindrical. The two outer support posts 302 and 303 are cuboid-shaped. The middle support post 301 is arranged in the plane of symmetry of the two spring arms 295 and 296 on the inside of the V-shape of the leaf spring 298. The two outer support posts 302 and 303 are arranged on one side of the plane of symmetry at a predetermined distance from this plane on the outside of the V-shape of the leaf spring 298. The obtuse spread angle of the V-shape of the two spring arms 295 and 296 and the arrangement of the three posts 301 ... 303 are coordinated in such a way that the tangents from the rear side of the middle support post 301 facing the leaf spring 298 to the front side of the two outer support posts 302 and 303 facing the associated spring arm 295 or 296 intersect each other at an angle that is smaller than the angle of the alignment lines of the two spring arms 295 and 296 in the relaxed state of the leaf spring 298. As a result, the leaf spring 298 lies with

a certain pre-tension on the three support posts 301 ... 303 and is held at least by the frictional engagement generated thereby.

To improve the holding function, a recess 304 is provided on the two outer holding posts 302 and 303 on the front side facing the relevant spring arm 295 or 296 (Fig. 52). This recess 304 is formed by a groove that is arranged at the transition point between the holding post 302 or 303 and the base body 292. The recess 304 has a stop surface 305 facing the base body 292. As a counterpart to the recess 304, a projection 306 is arranged on each of the spring arms 295 and 296 in the longitudinal section adjacent to the relevant holding post 302 or 303, which projection is formed by an angled surface section of the spring arm 295 and 296.

The leaf spring 298 is attached to the base body 292 by pivoting its two spring arms 295 and 296 from their relaxed rest position so far towards each other that the two projections 306 lie outside the plan projection of the outer support posts 302 and 303 when the inside of the leaf spring 298 at the apex of the V-shape of the leaf spring 298 lies outside the plan projection of the middle support post 301. The leaf spring 298 can then be guided along the middle support post 301 until the projections 306 hit the top of the base body 292. When the two spring arms 295 and 296 are then relaxed, each of the two projections 306 engages in the recess 304 assigned to it of the respective outer support post 302 or 303 and the surface section of the spring arms 295 and 296 adjacent to the projection 306 rests with its outer side against the inner side of the adjacent support post 302 or 303.

A plastic plug-in part 307 or 308 is plugged onto the end section of the two spring arms 295 and 296 facing away from the base body 292. Each plug-in part has a pocket 309 which is matched to the end section 311 of the spring arm 295 and 296 (Fig. 51).

For better anchoring of the plug-on parts 307 and 308 to the end section 311 of the spring arm 295 or 296, a locking element or an anchoring element 312 is provided.

It is formed by a tongue 313 which is partially notched out of the end section 311 and which is oriented against the direction of insertion of the end section 311 into the pocket 309 or, in other words, in the direction of the base body 292. The tongue 313 digs slightly into the side wall of the pocket 309 facing it and thereby prevents the plug-on part 307 or 308 from being pulled off.

In a similar manner to the spring arms 105 and 106 of the positioning device 101 (Fig. 19 to Fig. 22), a ramp surface 315 and 316 is present on the upper side of the plug-on parts 307 and 308 facing away from the base body 292, which faces the inside of the V-shape of the leaf spring 298 and thus the edge region 94 of the motor vehicle (not shown).

A locking element or an anchoring element, such as the anchoring element 312, can also be used in the positioning device 271 (Fig. 45 and Fig. 46) for the leaf spring 266, namely for anchoring the leaf spring 266 both in the base body 262 and in the plug-on part 281. The same applies to the positioning device 271 for anchoring the spring arm 273 both in the base body 272 and in the plug-on part 281.

The positioning device 321 shown in Fig. 53 to Fig. 55 comprises the base body 322 made of plastic and the

Spring element 323 made of metal. The spring element 323 is formed by the leaf spring 324 with the spring arms 325 and 326, which are arranged in a V-shape.

As holding elements for the leaf spring 324, there are again three holding posts, namely the middle holding post 331 and the two outer holding posts 332 and 333. They are molded onto the base body 322. The positioning device 321 is modified compared to the positioning device 291 only with regard to the anchoring of the leaf spring 324 to the three holding posts 331 ... 333.

The middle support post 331 is designed like the middle support post 301 and has a cylindrical basic shape. The two outer support posts 332 and 333 have a cuboid basic shape. As an anchoring element for the leaf spring 324, a strip-shaped projection 335 is present on the two outer support posts 332 and 333 above the upper edge 334 of the spring arm 325 or 326, which is molded onto it. The underside of the projection 335 facing the base body 322 serves as a stop surface 336 or as an anchoring surface for the associated spring arm 325 or 326. This stop surface 336 is arranged at least approximately at the same height as the upper edge 334 of the spring arm 325 or 326.

Expediently, a second stop surface 337 is provided on the two outer support posts 332 and 333 on the inside facing the leaf spring 324, which is facing away from the base body 322 and which has a clear distance from the first stop surface 336 that is at least approximately equal to the height of the spring arm 325 or 326. The second stop surface 337 is formed by the top of a second strip-shaped projection 338 on the support posts 332 and 333. The leaf spring 324 is held at a small distance by this second stop surface 337, which is located above the top 339 of the base body 322.

anchored above the base body 322 so that its two spring arms 325 and 326 can move freely relative to the base body 322 in the event of elastic deformation.

From Fig. 56 and Fig. 57 a stop body 341 can be seen which, if necessary, is attached to the disk 80 next to one or more of the previously described positioning devices.

The stop body 341 has a base body 342 and a stop post 343. It is designed as a one-piece plastic molded part.

The flat underside of the base body 342 serves as an adhesive surface 344, via which the stop body 341 is permanently connected to the disk 80 by means of an adhesive.

The stop post 343 is approximately cuboid-shaped, with rounded edges. The outside of the stop post 343 facing the edge section 94 forms the stop surface 345 of the stop body 341. It is at least partially located at the same height as the edge area 94 and expediently extends slightly beyond it in height.

The stop body 351 shown in Fig. 58 and Fig. 59 has the base body 352 and the stop post 353. The base body 352 is in turn permanently connected to the disk 80 via its lower adhesive surface 354.

The stop post 353 is modified compared to the stop post 343 in that on its side facing the edge region 94 two spring arms 355 and 356 are arranged next to each other at a mutual distance.

The spring arms 355 and 356 connect to the end section 357 of the stop post 353 facing away from the adhesive surface 354. The connection point between

the end section 357 and the spring arms 355 and 356 is located outside the plan projection of the edge region 94 and also beyond the inside of the edge region 94 as seen from the adhesive surface 354. In the unstressed rest position, the spring arms 355 and 356 extend from the connection point 358 obliquely in the direction of the disk 80 into the plan projection of the edge region 94. Their front surface facing the disk 80 is at least approximately at the same height as the outside of the edge region 94 and forms a stop surface 359 of the stop body 351. The spring arms 355 and 356 with their stop surface 359 serve as a lifting lock.

So that when the disk 80 and the edge region 94 approach each other relative to each other in the direction of the surface normal of the disk 80, the spring arms 355 and 356 can elastically move parallel to the plane of the edge region 94 to the outside of the plan projection of the edge 93 of the edge region 94, a recess 361 or 362 is provided in the path of movement of the spring arms 355 and 356 on the stop post 353, into which the spring arms 355 and 356 can completely immerse themselves, so that they then no longer protrude beyond the plan projection of the stop post 353.

The stop body with the base body 372 and the stop post 373 shown in Fig. 60 and Fig. 61 is modified compared to the stop body 351 in that on the side facing the edge region 94 in the area located between the two spring arms 375 and 376 there is an extension 377 which projects from the stop body 371 into the plan projection of the edge region 94 and which has a stop surface 378 facing away from the disk 80 which is located at least approximately at the same height as the inside of the edge region 94. The extension 377 with its stop surface 378 serves as a spacer between the disk 80 and the edge region 94.
