Locking element for releasably locking an adapter to a push-pull rod

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230184278A1) describes a locking element for releasably locking an adapter relative to a body of a push-pull rod. The locking element consists of a lever arm and a pin connected to the lever arm, a snap-action element, and a latching element. The snap-action element is rotatably connected to the lever arm about an axis of rotation parallel to the pin.
The snap-action element is designed as a partial ring that can be arranged on the adapter and/or the body of the push-pull rod in a locked position. It can assume at least two rotational positions, with a snap opening in the first position pointing in a direction normal to the longitudinal extension of the pin and the lever arm. The second rotational position is rotated by 180° relative to the first position.
The latching element, which includes a locking nose, is spaced apart from the snap-action element in the longitudinal extension direction of the lever arm. The snap-action element and latching element together encompass an angle range of more than 180° relative to the push-pull rod to be embraced.
In addition to the locking element, the patent also describes a push-pull rod with an adapter and a body that incorporates the locking element. The snap-action element can be rotated about an axis of rotation, which is normal to the longitudinal extension direction of the push-pull rod in an assembled state of the locking element. The body of the push-pull rod includes a sprocket into which at least one locking nose of the latching element can engage. The latching element is longer in the longitudinal extension direction of the push-pull rod than the width of the sprocket.
Furthermore, the snap-action element, in its assembled state, partially encompasses the adapter, which has a cylindrical lateral surface corresponding to the longitudinal extension of the snap-action element. The snap-action element is made of spring steel.
Overall, this patent presents a locking element and a push-pull rod with improved locking mechanisms for securing an adapter to the body of the rod. The design allows for easy release and reattachment of the adapter while ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
