Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Rafflamellenstore, bei dem die Lamellen an ihren Längsseiten über Gelenkverbindungen mit Tragelementen, insbesondere Tragband oder Tragseil, verbunden sind, wobei die gelenkige Verbindung jeweils zwischen einem starr mit der Lamelle verbundenen Halteelement und einem starr mit dem Tragelement verbundenen Befestigungselement erfolgt.The invention relates to a Rafflamellenstore in which the lamellae are connected at their longitudinal sides by means of articulated joints with support elements, in particular lanyard or support cable, wherein the articulated connection between each one rigidly connected to the lamella holding element and a rigidly connected to the support member fastener.

Gattungsgemäße Rafflamellenstores sind beispielsweise aus der DE 3819 920 sowie der EP 077 031 B1 bekannt. Bei diesen bekannten Rafflamellenstores weist die Gelenkverbindung zwischen dem Tragelement und der Lamelle jeweils ein Kugelgelenk auf, wobei die Gelenkpfanne jeweils der Lamelle zugeordnet ist, während der Kugelkopf direkt am dem Tragelement zugeordneten Befestigungselement ausgebildet ist.Generic Rafflamellenstores are for example from the DE 3819 920 as well as the EP 077 031 B1 known. In these known Rafflamellenstores, the articulated connection between the support element and the lamella each have a ball joint, wherein the joint socket is associated in each case with the lamella, while the ball head is formed directly on the fastening element associated with the support element.

Derartige Gelenkverbindungen sollen zum einen kostengünstig herstellbar sein, bei aufgezogenem Behang eine geringe Pakethöhe aufweisen und zudem soll die Montage der Einzelteile der Gelenkverbindungen an den Lamellen maschinell in einfacher Weise erfolgen können, um die Produktionskosten entsprechend niedrig halten zu können.Such hinged connections should be inexpensive to produce, have a low package height when mounted curtain and also the assembly of the individual parts of the joints on the slats can be done by machine in a simple manner to keep the production costs correspondingly low.

Die Erfindung stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, eine gattungsgemäße Gelenkverbindung zu schaffen, mit der die vorbeschriebenen Bedingungen erfüllt werden können und die insbesondere eine einfache Anbringung der Tragelemente an den Lamellenrändern ebenso wie eine geringe Pakethöhe bei aufgezogenem Behang ermöglicht.The invention therefore has the task of creating a generic articulated joint, with the conditions described above can be met and in particular allows easy attachment of the support members to the slat edges as well as a small package height with the curtain pulled up.

Dies wird gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erreicht, indem die Gelenkverbindung ein Kugelgelenk aufweist, wobei die Gelenkpfanne am mit dem Tragelement starr verbundenen Befestigungsmittel ausgebildet ist. Das heißt in anderen Worten, dass der Kugelkopf dem Halteelement, welches in einfacher Weise von einer vorzugsweise U-förmigen Metallklammer mit einem stabförmigen Abschnitt gebildet sein kann, zugeordnet ist.This is achieved according to a first embodiment of the invention in that the articulated connection has a ball joint, wherein the joint socket is formed on the fastening element rigidly connected to the support element. In other words, that the ball head is associated with the holding element, which may be formed in a simple manner by a preferably U-shaped metal clip with a rod-shaped portion.

Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform ist dabei vorgesehen, dass der Gelenkkopf direkt am mit der Lamelle starr verbundenen Halteelement ausgebildet ist. Alternativ kann jedoch auch die Gelenkverbindung ein Verbindungselement aufweisen, an dem der Gelenkkopf ausgebildet ist, wobei das Verbindungselement lösbar mit dem Halteelement verbindbar bzw. verbunden ist.According to a first embodiment, it is provided that the condyle is formed directly on the retaining element rigidly connected to the lamella. Alternatively, however, the articulated connection may also have a connecting element on which the joint head is formed, wherein the connecting element is detachably connected or connected to the retaining element.

Bei diesem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel hat es sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, wenn das Verbindungselement mit dem Halteelement über ein Scharniergelenk verbindbar bzw. verbunden ist, wobei eine konstruktiv einfache Lösung dann erreicht wird, wenn das Verbindungselement auf seinem dem Gelenkkopf für das Kugelgelenk gegenüberliegenden Ende eine Maulöffnung aufweist, mittels der das Verbindungselement auf einen stabförmigen Abschnitt des Halteelementes aufschnappbar ist.In this preferred embodiment, it has been found to be advantageous if the connecting element can be connected or connected to the holding element via a hinge joint, wherein a structurally simple solution is achieved when the connecting element has a mouth opening on its end opposite the condyle for the ball joint end , By means of which the connecting element can be snapped onto a rod-shaped portion of the holding element.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe also in an sich bekannter Weise durch die Ausbildung der Gelenkverbindung als Kugelgelenk, wobei im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik der Kugelkopf neuerungsgemäß der Lamelle zugeordnet ist. Die dreiteilige Ausbildung der Gelenkverbindung mit einem Verbindungselement, welches auf einer Seite einen Kugelkopf und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Maulöffnung aufweist, bietet neben der besonders einfachen Montage zudem die Möglichkeit, das besonders beanspruchte Verbindungselement im Beschädigungsfall einfach auszutauschen.The invention thus solves the problem in a conventional manner by the formation of the hinge joint as a ball joint, wherein, in contrast to the prior art, the ball head is associated with renewal of the lamella. The three-part design of the articulated connection with a connecting element which has a ball head on one side and a mouth opening on the opposite side, in addition to the particularly simple assembly also offers the possibility of easily replacing the particularly stressed connection element in the event of damage.

Eine weitere Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Gelenkverbindung ein Verbindungselement aufweist, welches mit dem Halteelement und dem Befestigungselement drehgelenkig verbunden bzw. verbindbar ist, wobei es sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt hat, wenn das Verbindungselement mit dem Halteelement und dem Befestigungselement jeweils über ein Einachsgelenk verbunden ist. Günstigerweise ist dabei das erste Einachsgelenk als Scharniergelenk und das zweite Einachsgelenk als Zapfengelenk ausgebildet ist. Um die horizontale Verschwenkbarkeit der Lamellen zu ermöglichen und gleichzeitig sicherzustellen, dass das Tragelement bei aufgezogenem Behang nicht zwischen den einzelnen Lamellen eingeklemmt wird, ist weiters vorgesehen, dass die Drehachsen des Scharniergelenks und des Zapfengelenks im Wesentlichen normal zueinander verlaufen.A further embodiment of the invention provides that the articulated connection has a connecting element, which is pivotally connected or connectable to the holding element and the fastening element, wherein it has proved to be particularly advantageous if the connecting element with the holding element and the fastening element in each case via a Single-axis joint is connected. Conveniently, the first single-axis joint is designed as a hinge joint and the second single-axis joint is designed as a pivot joint. In order to enable the horizontal pivotability of the slats and at the same time to ensure that the support member is not clamped between the individual slats with the curtain raised, it is further provided that the axes of rotation of the hinge joint and the pivot joint substantially normal to each other.

Im Sinne einer kostengünstigen und maschinell einfach zu produzierenden Lösung ist weiters vorgesehen, dass das Befestigungselement aus Kunststoff hergestellt und unmittelbar an das Tragelement angespritzt ist.In terms of a cost-effective and mechanically easy to produce solution is further provided that the fastener is made of plastic and molded directly onto the support element.

Ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, bei dem die Gelenkverbindung 3 ein Verbindungselement 7 mit einem Gelenkkopf 8 und einer Maulöffnung 10 aufweist, ist in den Fig. 1 a, 1b und 1c dargestellt. Dabei ist das Halteelement 5 klammerförmig ausgebildet und weist einen stabförmigen Abschnitt B auf. Das Halteelement 5 wird in den gebördelten Seitenrand der Lamelle geschossen oder andersartig befestigt, sodass der stabförmige Mittelabschnitt B noch weit genug vorsteht, um das Aufklippsen des Verbindungselementes 7 über die Maulöffnung 10 auf dem stabförmigen Abschnitt B zu ermöglichen. Der stabförmige Abschnitt B und die Maulöffnung 10 bilden gemeinsam also ein Scharniergelenk mit der Drehachse a, wodurch die horizontale Verschwenkbarkeit der Lamelle sichergestellt wird. Die gelenkige Verbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement 7 und dem Befestigungselement 6 am Tragelement 4 wird beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel über ein Kugelgelenk 16 sichergestellt, wobei neuerungsgemäß der Gelenkkopf 8 dem Verbindungselement 7 zugeordnet ist, während die Gelenkpfanne 9 am Befestigungselement 6 ausgebildet ist (Fig. 2).A first embodiment of the invention, in which the articulated connection 3 has a connecting element 7 with a condyle 8 and a mouth opening 10, is in the Fig. 1 a, 1b and 1c shown. In this case, the holding element 5 is clamp-shaped and has a rod-shaped portion B. The holding element 5 is shot or otherwise fixed in the crimped side edge of the lamella, so that the rod-shaped middle section B protrudes far enough to allow the clipping of the connecting element 7 via the mouth opening 10 on the rod-shaped section B. The rod-shaped portion B and the mouth opening 10 thus together form a hinge joint with the axis of rotation a, whereby the horizontal pivotability of the blade is ensured. The articulated connection between the connecting element 7 and the fastening element 6 on the support element 4 is ensured in the embodiment shown by a ball joint 16, wherein renewal of the condyle 8 is assigned to the connecting element 7, while the socket 9 is formed on the fastening element 6 ( Fig. 2 ).

Das Kugelgelenk stellt dabei die Drehbarkeit des Tragelementes 4 zumindest um die Drehachse b sicher, sodass sich das Tragelement 4 bei aufgezogenem Behang seitlich im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Längskanten der Lamellen 2 legen kann.The ball joint in this case ensures the rotatability of the support element 4 at least about the axis of rotation b, so that the support element 4 can lay laterally with the curtain raised substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges of the slats 2.

Durch die neuerungsgemäße Verlagerung des Gelenkkopfes 8, der erfahrungsgemäß den größten Beanspruchungen aufgesetzt ist, auf das Verbindungselement 7 wird in Kombination mit der lösbaren Verbindung des Verbindungselementes 7 mit dem Halteelement 5 erreicht, dass bei gebrochener oder anderweitig beschädigter Gelenkverbindung 3 das Verbindungselement 7 in einfacher Weise ausgetauscht werden kann, wodurch sich die Lebensdauer des Raffstores 1 erheblich verlängern lässt.Due to the innovation according to the displacement of the condyle 8, which is traditionally placed the greatest stresses on the connecting element 7 is achieved in combination with the detachable connection of the connecting element 7 with the holding element 5, that in case of broken or otherwise damaged articulated connection 3, the connecting element 7 in a simple manner can be replaced, whereby the life of the Venetian blind 1 can be considerably extended.

Ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel ist in der Fig. 2a in einer Explosionsdarstellung und in Fig. 2b in zusammengebautem Zustand dargestellt.Another embodiment is in the Fig. 2a in an exploded view and in Fig. 2b shown in assembled condition.

Dieses zweite Ausführungsbeispiel unterscheidet sich vom vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel durch die Art der Gelenkverbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement 7 und dem Befestigungselement 6. Gleiche Teile in den beiden Ausführungsbeispielen wurden mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen, weshalb auf eine nochmalige ausführliche Beschreibung verzichtet wird.This second embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment by the type of hinge connection between the connecting element 7 and the fastening element 6. The same parts in the two embodiments have been given the same reference numerals, for which reason a further detailed description is omitted.

Bei dem in den Fig. 2a und 2b dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Gelenkverbindung zwischen dem Verbindungselement 7 und dem Befestigungselement 6 als Zapfengelenk 13 ausgebildet. Dazu ist am Verbindungselement 7 anstelle eines Kugelkopfes ein zylindrischer Zapfen mit einem Rastkopf ausgebildet, der in die ebenfalls zylindrische Gelenkspfanne 15 am Befestigungselement 6, die in ihrem hinteren Endbereich eine Erweiterung aufweist, einrastet. Die Drehachse b dieses Zopfengelenks 13 schließt mit der Drehachse des Scharniergelenks 14 im Wesentlichen einen rechten Winkel ein, sodass sich das Tragelement 4 beim Raffen des Stores infolge der Drehung des Befestigungselementes 6 seitlich im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Längskanten der Lamellen 2 legen kann.In the in the Fig. 2a and 2b illustrated embodiment, the hinge connection between the connecting element 7 and the fastening element 6 is designed as a pivot joint 13. For this purpose, a cylindrical pin is formed with a locking head on the connecting element 7 instead of a ball head, which engages in the likewise cylindrical joint socket 15 on the fastening element 6, which has an extension in its rear end region. The axis of rotation b of this plug hinge 13 essentially encloses a right angle with the axis of rotation of the hinge joint 14, so that the support element 4 can lay laterally substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges of the slats 2 when the blind is gathered as a result of the rotation of the fastening element 6.

Fig. 3 zeigt perspektivisch einen Teilabschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Rafflamellenstores 1 in heruntergelassenem Zustand. Über die Gelenkverbindung 3 ist sichergestellt, dass die am Tragelement 4 geführten Lamellen 2 zum Verstellen der Neigungsflächen der Lamellen 2 um die Drehachse a verschwenkt werden können. Durch die Drehbarkeit des Befestigungselementes 6 um die Drehachse b ist darüber hinaus sichergestellt, dass sich die Tragelemente 4 beim Zusammenraffen des Raffstores 1 infolge der Drehung des Befestigungselementes 6 seitlich im Wesentlichen parallel zu den Längskanten der Lamellen 2 legen, wodurch ein Einklemmen der Tragelemente 4 zwischen den Lamellen 2 bei aufgezogenem Raffstore 1 verhindert werden kann. Fig. 3 shows in perspective a portion of a Rafflamellenstores 1 of the invention in a lowered state. About the hinge joint 3 ensures that the guided on the support member 4 slats 2 can be pivoted about the axis of rotation a for adjusting the inclination surfaces of the slats 2. Due to the rotatability of the fastening element 6 about the axis of rotation b is also ensured that the support elements 4 when tightening the Venetian blind 1 due to the rotation of the fastener 6 laterally substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges of the slats 2, thereby pinching the support elements 4 between the slats 2 can be prevented with mounted external venetian blinds 1.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele lediglich einige von mehreren Möglichkeiten, den Erfindungsgedanken einer Gelenkverbindung zwischen einer Lamelle und einem Befestigungselement zu realisieren, zeigen. Eine wesentliche Neuerung der Erfindung besteht jedenfalls in der Verlagerung des Gelenkkopfes vom Befestigungselement zum Halteelement oder zu einem mit dem Halteelement lösbar verbundenen Verbindungselement bzw. der Verlagerung der Gelenkspfanne auf das Befestigungselement.It goes without saying that the illustrated embodiments merely show some of several possibilities for realizing the concept of a joint between a lamella and a fastening element. A Substantial innovation of the invention is in any case in the displacement of the condyle from the fastener to the support member or to a releasably connected to the holding element connecting element or the displacement of the joint cup on the fastener.
