Abstract
The invention relates to a hoop lock comprising a lock body and a hoop which can be coupled at its hoop ends to the lock body and which can be latched thereto in the coupled state, wherein force two cells spatially separated from one another are arranged in the lock body for the reception of the hoop ends and each force cell is associated with a latching arrangement for a hoop end which is adjustable between a latched state and a released state and which can be actuated via a locking unit, and wherein at least one latching arrangement has a bolt element whose side remote from the inserted hoop end is supported at the force cell in the latched state.
Claims26
A hoop lock comprising a lock body (10) and a hoop (12) which can be coupled at its hoop ends (14) to the lock body (10) and which can be latched thereto in the coupled state, wherein two force cells (16) spatially separated from one another are arranged in the lock body (10) for the reception of the hoop ends (14) and each force cell (16) is associated with a latching arrangement (18, 20;
- 118, 120;
- 218) for a hoop end (14) which is adjustable between a latched state and a released state and which can be actuated via a locking unit (22), and wherein at least one latching arrangement has a bolt element (18;
- 118;
- 218) whose side remote from the inserted hoop end (14) is supported at the force cell (16) in the latched state.
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one force cell (16) has a U section (17) whose open side faces the other force cell (16), wherein the inserted hoop end (14) is preferably supported at the U bar (35) and the bolt element (18;
- 118;
- 218) is preferably supported at at least one U limb (36).
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the locking unit (22) is arranged between the force cells (16), with the two force cells (16) preferably being fastened at the locking unit (22), in particular at a reception housing (24) for the locking unit (22).
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that an actuating member (26, 226), in particular a rod assembly, extending between the locking unit (22) and the latching arrangement (18, 20;
- 118, 120;
- 218) is provided for the actuation of at least one latching arrangement (18, 20;
- 118, 120;
- 218), with a rotary movement of the locking unit (22) preferably being convertable into an actuation movement of the actuating member (26;
- 226) approximately parallel to its longitudinal axis and preferably approximately perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the locking unit (22).
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the bolt element (18;
- 118;
- 218) has a convex curvature at least in a region cooperating with the inserted hoop end (14) and is formed in particular as a cylinder or spherical section.
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the bolt element (18;
- 118;
- 218) can be moved out of a latched position in the released state by pulling the hoop end (14) out of the force cell (16).
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the bolt element (18;
- 118;
- 218) can be moved out of a latched position against a resetting force of a spring member (30;
- 130) arranged in the force cell (16) or projecting into the force cell (16), with the resetting force preferably being dimensioned such that the inserted hoop (12) is held at the lock body (10) secure against falling out.
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the force cells (16) and the closing unit (22) are arranged inside a housing (28) of the lock body (10) which is preferably made of metal and which is preferably formed in a tube shape.
A hoop lock in accordance with at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one latching arrangement (18, 20;
- 118;
- 120) is made in multiple parts and the bolt element (18;
- 118) is supported indirectly at the force cell (16) via a positioning element (20;
- 120) which can be actuated via the locking unit (22).
