Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sun protection system according to the preamble of appended claim 1.
  • the previously known sun protection systems with horizontal Slats - also known as external venetian blinds - are used for opening and closing Lowering the slats the same system.
  • elevator elements such as. textile tapes, perforated plastic tapes, Steel straps or chains become a bottom rail from below pulled upwards, with the slats one after the other stack into a package on this bottom rail and carry with be transported at the top.
  • the individual slats hang via supporting elements on both long sides of the slats are provided at a certain distance from the respective over slat arranged to them.
  • the angular position of the slats is thus on the relative position of the support elements on a Slat side to the support elements on the other slat side certainly.
  • the plate pack In the gathered state, the plate pack is in one Shaft or driven behind a panel or it remains visible above the area to be shaded. Often there is however on site in the upper area of the sun protection system no space for the gathered slat package, especially one Top rail, which the winding and possibly a turning device records, also takes up space. As very annoying it is felt when the shirred slat package in front of the the upper area of the window surface hangs and thereby the Limits the incidence of light. So far, the only alternative has been left to completely do without the elevator of the slats and only the angular position of the permanently extended Adjust slats according to the respective circumstances.
  • the known system makes gathering the plate pack more difficult in another place insofar as the supporting elements, which directly determine the inclination of the slats with the top rail or one in the top rail arranged reversing drive are connected.
  • the setting the sloping angle of the slats is a basic requirement for the sensible use of a sun protection system with horizontal slats, which is why the use of the Do not do without support elements for determining the slat inclination would like to.
  • the object of the invention is a sun protection system to create with horizontal slats, their slats in different positions of the reversing rail to a desired one Angular position are adjustable.
  • the task is performed by a sun protection system solved with the features of appended claim 1, the turning element preferably in the path of the elevator and reversible rail can be moved.
  • the turning element preferably in the path of the elevator and reversible rail can be moved.
  • the elevator and turning rail in be brought to a desired position, whereupon the Adjustment of the angle of inclination by moving the Turning element can be carried out.
  • the inclination adjustment is also preferred due to the shortened on one side or elastic on one side the one below the lowest slat Carried elements on a lower rail. Also one-sided Pre-loading of the lowest slat with a weight is conceivable. Starts when the curtain is fully extended the lowest slat due to the one-sided blockage Support element to incline and takes over the support elements all other slats and the reversing rail with.
  • the combination of resilient actuator and Turning element significantly extends the angular range in which the slats adjustable by moving the reversing rail are because the control element the slats in the direction of action of the turning element rotated in the opposite direction. If the turning rail is moved towards the turning element, it is against the force of the elastic actuator adjusted in inclination. As soon as the turning rail is moved away from the turning element, take the Reversible rail and the slats back to their original Tilt position.
  • turning elements can also be used, for example one on each Sides of the elevator and turning rail.
  • the turning elements can from the trajectory of the elevator and turning rail be disengageable, as it may not always for an inevitable adjustment of the angle of inclination should come.
  • turning elements can also be used certain distance from each other may be provided, the one Tilt adjustment of the slats in different positions allow the reversible rail. In this case it is advisable those turning elements from the trajectory of the To design reversible rail that can be disengaged with this in partially extended position interact.
  • the turning element can consist, for example, of a bolt, that from the narrow side off-center in the movement path the elevator and turning rail engages. at an appropriate guidance of the reversing rail for reasons of stability in a vertical guide rail with the help the turning element can also be made from lateral guide pins a toothing or a spring band, which or that with appropriately shaped guide pins of the elevator and Reversible rail interacts.
  • Fig. 1 shows a sun protection system 10 with horizontal Slats 12, which is a shirred in the retracted position Form package 14 below the area to be shaded.
  • the Slats 12 are hanging on carrying and turning tapes 16 in certain distance connected.
  • the carrying and Turning belts 16 are located on both long sides of the slats 12, so that by relative raising or lowering Carrying and turning tapes 16, the inclination of the slats 12 adjustable is.
  • the carrying and turning tapes 16 are above the top slat 12 with an elevator and turning rail 18 connected. At their lower end they can hang freely implemented or on a lower rail 20 (see FIGS. 2-4) be fixed.
  • the lowest slat can e.g. B.
  • the Elevator and turning rail 18 has on its narrow sides via guide pins 22 in the side guide rails 24 run.
  • the slats 12 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 alternately have guide pins 26, which run in the left or right guide rail 24.
  • the stability of the curtain is particularly below Wind impact improved.
  • the guide pin 26 is also conceivable, for example every second lamella 12 with guide pins on both sides 26 to equip.
  • the elevator and turning rail 18 is on elevator belts 28 suspended with the help of a motor 30 driven Elevator store 32 an up or down the elevator and turning rail 18 is possible.
  • the elevator belts 28 can e.g. textile tapes, perforated plastic or metal tapes, but also be chains.
  • the engine 30 and the Elevator bearings 32 are housed in a top rail 34. Instead of the motor 30, a manual one can of course also be used Drive may be provided.
  • the final shutdown of the motor 30 takes place by starting the Elevator and turning rail 18 on switching elements (not shown), or by internal sensors, for example blockage of the engine under load can detect.
  • the end position of the spiral bar 18 also set by a spindle lock (not shown) and be given.
  • the drive 30, 32 can also below the plate pack 14 may be arranged, in which case a deflection of the elevator belts 28 or additional ones that drive the elevator bearings 32 Control straps are to be provided.
  • a third drive alternative can consist of the turning and elevator rail 18 against the force of a spring shaft (not shown) in the top rail 34 to pull down. The shelter of the drive below the disk pack 14 is reduced the space required above the window area to be shaded to an even greater extent.
  • Fig. 1 shows two different arrangements of the elevator belts 28.
  • the elevator belts 28 covered run in the guide rail 24 and on the guide pin 22 of the elevator and turning rail 18 are attached.
  • the elevator and turning rail 18 takes this when extending a horizontal position of the curtain.
  • a special one Fastener e.g. an elastic leg spring, however, it is also possible to have an inclined basic position the elevator and turning rail 18 and thus all the slats To achieve 12.
  • turning elements 38 are provided, which as a bolt from the narrow sides off-center in the movement path the elevator and turning rail 18 extend (see also Fig. 2-5).
  • the turning elements 38 can be obtained in this way be that they move out of the path of the elevator Reversible rail 18 can be disengaged. An inevitable Adjustment of the slat inclination as the elevator passes and turning rail 18 is avoided. Will the Elevator and turning rail 18 up to turning elements 38 it is driven when the elevator belts are opened again 28 unilaterally prevented from starting and takes maximum 4 and 5, an inclined position, in which the slats 12 have a completely closed curtain form.
  • Turning elements 38 can be in the area of the guide rails 24 also consisting of a toothing or a spring band Turning elements can be provided on the guide pin 22 of the turning rail 18 act.
  • Sun protection system 10 stack the slats 12 on the Bottom rail 20 in a shaft 40.
  • the turning rail 18 is designed so that it is fully retracted the sun protection system 10 rests on a shoulder 42 and thereby covers the shaft 40.
  • the shaft 40 should face down open or provided with drainage holes. This is particularly important when the drive 30, 32 of the curtain also in the shaft 40 below of the plate pack 14 is because this is particularly sensitive against penetrating water and dirt.
  • the functions of the elevator and turning rail 18 can also from the top slat of the curtain.
  • the prerequisite for this is that the top slat is a suitable one Has geometry and sufficient stability, so that they are not due to the turning elements 38 applied forces are deformed or even damaged can.
