A closure device for connecting two parts with one another comprises a first closure part and a second closure part which is attachable in an attachment direction on the first closure part and has a housing and a connection element arranged moveably on the housing along an adjustment direction which differs from the attachment direction. For closing the closure device, the connection element is attachable on the first closure part in the attachment direction and during attachment is moved in the adjustment direction relative to the housing from a first position into a second position. In a closed position of the closure device, the connection element is located in the second position and is thus connected to the first closure part in such a way that the second closure part is held on the first closure part. The connection element is tensioned in the direction of the first position with respect to the housing. Additionally, a display unit (34) is also provided, arranged on the second closure part (3). The display unit is adjustable by moving the connection element (30) relative to the housing (31), and is located in a first display position in the first position of the connection element (30) and in a second display position in the second position of the connection element (30). In this way, a closure device is provided which can safely and reliably display that the closure device has reached its closed position and thus can also be designed purely mechanically, thus without magnetic elements.

Abstract

A closure device comprises a first closure part (2) which has a blocking component (22a, 22b), a second closure part (3) which has a spring locking element (34a, 34b) which is of at least partially spring-elastic design, and magnetic means (223a, 223b, 231a, 231b) which act between the first closure part and the second closure part and bring about a magnetic attraction force between the first closure part and the second closure part. In order to close the closure device, the first closure part can be fitted onto the second closure part in a closing direction. In a closed position, the blocking component and the spring locking element are in engagement with each other, and therefore the first closure part is locked in relation to the second closure part counter to the closing direction, wherein, in the closed position, the housing sections of the first closure part and of the second closure part extend parallel to each other and rest against each other. In order to release the closure device, the spring locking element and the blocking component can be moved or rotated relative to each other in order to disengage the spring locking element and the blocking component. According to the invention, respective electric coils (4, 5) having an electromagnetic coupling effect in the closed position are arranged on the first closure part (2) and on the second closure part (3). This creates a closure device which can be used for advantageously mounting an electric terminal in a vehicle and at the same time for supplying power and/or transmitting data.

Abstract

The invention relates to a closure device for connecting two parts, comprising a first connecting module (1) and a second connecting module (2). The first connecting module (1) can be disposed at the second connection module (2) in a closing direction (X), engages mechanically with the second connecting module (2) in a closed position by means of a catch device (11, 12a, 12b, 21a, 21b, 22) and is held against the second connecting module (2) opposite the closing direction (X). The first connecting module (1) can be released from the second connecting module (2) by a displacement of the first connecting module (1) or a part of the first connecting module (1) in an opening direction (Y), different from the closing direction (X). A form fit element (16, 26) is thereby disposed on one of the connecting modules (1, 2), designed for engaging with a recess (140, 240) on the other of the connecting modules (1, 2) after producing the catch connection of the first connecting module (1) to the second connecting module (2) by displacing the first connecting module (1) relative to the second connecting module (2) opposite the opening direction (Y), in order to retain the first connecting module (1) in the closed position on the second connecting module (2) opposite the closing direction (X) in addition to the mechanical catch device (11, 12a, 12b, 21a, 21b, 22).

The invention relates to a closing device comprising a first closing part, a second closing part that can be arranged on the first closing part in a fixing direction and is connected to the first closing part in a closed state, and an actuating element on which the second closing part is movably arranged. In the closed state, the second closing part is held on the first closing part by means of the actuating element, and interacts with the actuating element in such a way that, in a loaded state, when a force acts on the second closing part in relation to the first closing part in the fixing direction, the actuating element is connected to the first closing part in a fixed manner, and holds the second closing part on the first closing part. In an unloaded state, however, the second closing part can be detached from the first closing part by actuating the actuating element. Furthermore, the actuating element (4) is held, in the closed state, in a frictional or engaging manner, on the first closing part (3) by means of an at least partially elastic section (40, 400). In this way, a closing device is provided, that can be operated in a simple and haptically pleasant manner, simultaneously creating a fixed connection between two closing parts, that cannot be detached in the loaded state.

The first connection module can be detached from the second connection module by means of a movement of the first connection module or a part of the first connection module in an opening direction that differs from the closing direction, wherein the magnetic means counteract a movement of the first connection module in the opening direction. For such a closure device, it is provided that the first connection module (1) and the second connection module (2) each comprise at least one guide section (20a, 20b, 21a, 21a', 21b, 21b') that is circular-arc-shaped at least in some sections for guiding the first connection module (1) on the second connection module (2) along the opening direction (Y), wherein the guide sections are arranged concentrically to a pivot axis (M) defined by the circular-arc-shaped guide sections (20a, 20b, 21a, 21a', 21b, 21b'), wherein a load application point (PL) or load application section (40) that is arranged on the first connection module (1) and at which a load is applied to the first connection module (1) has a distance (A) from the pivot axis (M) defined by the guide sections (20a, 20b, 21a, 21a', 21b, 21b') that is smaller than the distance (R) of at least part of the magnetic means (4, 8) from the pivot axis (M). In this way, a closure device is provided that can be easily and comfortably closed and opened and at the same is secured against accidental opening due to loads acting in arbitrary directions, wherein however an emergency release possibly occurs if a predetermined load is exceeded.

Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting structure which comprises the following features: a locking device having a spring-loaded locking element (9) and a locking element (5) for locking the connecting modules, and a magnet/armature structure having a magnet (4) and an armature (8). The locking device and the magnet/armature structure are functionally linked by the following features: the magnet (4) and the armature (8) can be displaced, the magnet (4) or the armature (8) is coupled to the locking bar (5) via a coupling element (7) so that the locking element (5), when displaced between the magnet (4) and the armature (8), can be brought into a non-locking position. The magnetic force is chosen in such a manner that the connecting modules are pulled towards each other during closing, the spring-loaded locking element (9) pushing against the locking element (5) until it snaps into engagement and the magnetic force is weaker during release once the locking position of the locking element (5) and the spring-loaded locking element (8) is reached in order to separate the module. The structure also comprises return elements for returning the locking element (5) to its initial position.
