Abstract

It is provided a closure device includes a first closure part and a second closure part, which can be placed against each other along a closing direction, are held against each other in a closed position, and can be detached from each other for opening the closure device. The second closure part includes a housing element with a bearing opening and a rotary element rotatably mounted in the bearing opening of the housing element. The rotary element is operatively connected to an actuator element and can be rotated with respect to the second closure part for adjusting the actuator element along a winding direction. The first closure part includes a first toothing device the second closure part includes a second toothing device, and in the closed position of the closure device the first toothing device and the second toothing device are in engagement with each other in such a way that the first closure part and the second closure part are positively held against each other along the winding direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A closure device, comprising
a first closure part and a second closure part, the first closure part and the second closure part being attachable to each other along a closing direction and are held on one another in a closed position, wherein the first closure part and the second closure part are releasable from each other for opening the closure device,
wherein the second closure part includes a housing element with a bearing opening and a rotary element rotatably mounted in the bearing opening of the housing element,
wherein the rotary element is operatively connected to an actuator element and is rotatable with respect to the second closure part for adjusting the actuator element along a winding direction,
wherein the first closure part includes a first toothing device and the second closure part includes a second toothing device,
wherein in the closed position of the closure device the first toothing device and the second toothing device are in engagement with each other in such a way that the first closure part and the second closure part are positively held with respect to each other along the winding direction, and
wherein the first closure part and the second closure part each include at least one magnetic element for providing a force of magnetic attraction on placement of the closure parts against each other.

2. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator element is formed by a flexurally slack pulling element.

3. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuator element is formed by of a toothed rack with a first toothing arranged thereon.

4. The closure device according to claim 3 , wherein the rotary element includes a second toothing which is in engagement with the first toothing of the actuator element formed as a toothed rack.

5. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the second closure part includes an actuating element which is operatively connected to the rotary element and can be actuated for rotating the rotary element.

6. The closure device according to claim 5 , wherein the actuating element includes a first engagement device and the rotary element a second engagement device, wherein the first engagement device and the second engagement device are in engagement with each other for non-rotatably connecting the actuating element and the rotary element to each other.

7. The closure device according to claim 5 , wherein the rotary element includes an abutment portion which the rotary element can be placed against the first closure part, wherein the actuating element is arranged on a first side of the housing element and the abutment portion is arranged on a second side of the housing element facing away from the first side.

8. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the second toothing device is arranged on the rotary element.

9. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein in the closed position the second closure part is rotatable with respect to the first closure part in the winding direction, but a rotation of the second closure part with respect to the first closure part opposite to the winding direction is blocked.

10. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the first closure part includes a cylinder portion which in the closed position engages into an opening of the rotary element for rotatably mounting the rotary element on the first closure part.

11. The closure device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing element includes a passage opening through which the actuator element is extended.

12. The closure device according to claim 11 , wherein the housing element includes a guiding device for guiding the actuator element towards the passage opening.

13. The closure device according to claim 1 , further comprising a tensioning element which is elastically deformable during an adjustment of the actuator element.

14. The closure device according to claim 13 , wherein the tensioning element is connected to the housing element.

15. The closure device according to claim 13 , wherein the tensioning element is operatively connected to the actuator element in such a way that during an adjustment of the actuator element, the tensioning element is tensioned in a first direction and supports resetting of the actuator element in a second direction opposite to the first direction by a tensioning force.

16. The closure device according to claim 13 , wherein the tensioning element encloses an interior space in which the actuator element is at least sectionally extended.

17. The closure device according to claim 13 , wherein the tensioning element is arranged outside the bearing opening of the housing element.
