The invention relates to a balcony device according to the preamble of the independent

Claim.

In particular, the invention relates to a balcony device that can be retrofitted to a building in the area of a wall opening, such as in the area of a window.

Balcony devices, in particular balcony devices for subsequent attachment to a building, are known and published in different versions. For example, balcony devices are known, which are essentially formed from a support frame, a shelf and a fall protection.

Since the incidence of light for the floor below is also restricted as the cantilever depth of the balcony increases, there is a conflict of objectives in the design of the balcony between maximizing the usable area of the balcony and impairing the light incidence for the floor below.

Since this conflict of goals inevitably leads to a limitation of the balcony size, there is a demand for balcony devices in which the maximum permissible size is used as efficiently as possible.

The distance between the outermost point of the balcony device and the outer surface of the building facade, in particular seen in the normal direction from the building facade, is defined as the cantilever depth. Furthermore, in the context of the present invention, it is understood as above or further above as counter to the direction of gravity, that is to say in relation to the building to which the balcony device is attached, in the direction of the roof.

The invention is further described below using specific, non-limiting exemplary embodiments.

FIGS. 1a, 1b and 2 show sectional representations, the viewing direction being essentially horizontal and transverse to the main direction. FIG. 3 shows a sectional view, the viewing direction essentially running against the main direction. Figures 4a, 4b and 4c show views from above. Figure 5 shows an oblique view of a balcony device on a building. Figures 6a and 6b and 6c show details of the mounting arrangement for fastening the balcony device to the building. 7 shows a further embodiment of the balcony device according to the invention. 8a to 8l, different forms of the outer contour of the balcony device are shown as examples.

Unless otherwise stated, the reference numerals correspond to the following components: main direction 1, outer building surface 2, lower functional surface 3, balcony floor 4, upper functional surface 5, seating surface 6, plant substrate surface 7, fall protection 8, lower projection depth 9, upper projection depth 10, clearance 11, difference (the cantilever depths) 12, vertical distance (upper functional surface to lower functional surface) 13, outer contour (of the balcony device) 14, outer region 15, upper / 44 lateral functional surface 16, side contour 17, side region 18, lower lateral extension 19, upper lateral extension 20, middle region 21, inner area 22, support frame 23, outer cladding 24, lower intermediate space 25, upper intermediate space 26, substrate vessel 27, collecting vessel 28, drain 29, vessel bottom surface 30, lower region 31, mounting arrangement 32, balcony fastening means 33, building fastening means 34, adjusting device 35, fixing device 36 , Overflow 37, Zugstre be 38, frame 39, inner panel 40, spear 42, side panel 43, railing panel 44.

Figures 1a and 1b show schematic sectional views of two different embodiments of balcony devices. Both devices protrude from the outer surface 2 of the building essentially along a main direction 1, which is normal to the outer surface 2 of the building. The devices each have a lower functional surface 3, which is formed by a balcony floor 4. Furthermore, both balconies have an upper functional surface 5, which, for example, each forms a seat surface 6, as in these embodiments. The upper functional surface 5 is arranged higher than the lower functional surface 3. In addition, the upper functional surface 5 extends further outward along the main direction 1 than the lower functional surface 3. The upper functional surface 5 is thereby arranged in the outer region 15 of the balcony device.

This configuration makes it possible to give the balcony device a shape in which the lower cantilever depth 9 is smaller than the upper cantilever depth 10. The lower cantilever depth 9 is in particular the cantilever depth of the balcony device in the region of the lower functional surface 3. The upper cantilever depth 10 is in particular that Cantilever depth of the balcony device in the area of the upper functional surface 5.

In the alternative, 45 ° lines are drawn schematically, starting from the level of the upper edge of the window of the floor below. For example, these can be regarded as decisive for a typical incidence of light. Although the balcony devices of FIGS. 1a and 1b only impair the light incidence for the floor below to the extent of the lower, smaller cantilever depth 9, the larger upper cantilever depth 10 is available for using the balcony device. In particular, this special configuration makes efficient use of the space available for the balcony device.

/ 44

In the present embodiment, the balcony device comprises an outer one

Cladding 24. This outer cladding 24 gives the balcony device a certain amount

Outer contour 14, which in the present embodiment is designed to converge downwards, in particular in the form of a wedge or a truncated cone.

The balcony devices of FIGS. 1a and 1b each comprise a fall protection device 8. This fall protection device 8 is arranged along the main direction 1 towards or outside of the upper functional surface 5, that is to say it is at a greater distance from the outer building surface 2. In the present embodiment, the fall protection device 8 forms the Completion of the balcony device. Due to the special configuration, the fall protection 8, in the present embodiment, forms a backrest in its lower region and a conventional fall protection in the sense of a railing in its upper region.

The lower functional surface 3 is essentially arranged in the central region 21 of the balcony device. The central region 21 is arranged in the main direction 1 between the outer region 15 and the inner region 22. The inner area 22 is the area of the balcony device which, as seen in the main direction 1, is closest to the outer surface 2 of the building. The outer area 15 is the area of the balcony device that is furthest away from the building's outer surface 2 in the main direction 1. In addition, the lower functional surface 3 in the present embodiment extends into the inner region 22 of the balcony device. As a result, the lower functional surface 3 extends essentially to the outer surface 2 of the building or to that wall opening of the building through which the balcony device can be reached.

According to the embodiment in FIG. 1a, the building opening is a balcony door that extends into the floor area of this floor. As a result, the balcony floor 4 or the lower functional surface 3 can be entered at ground level, that is to say approximately at the level of the balcony door or at the level of the interior of the building.

According to the embodiment in FIG. 1b, the building opening is a window with a certain parapet height. In order to arrive at the balcony device in this embodiment, for example stairs are provided in the interior of the window and / or in the area of the building exterior surface 2 on the balcony device in order to be able to easily overcome the parapet or the parapet.

/ 44

The two balcony devices of FIGS. 1a and 1b are attached to a building, in particular on the outer surface 2 of the building, and project from it

FIG. 2 shows a sectional illustration of an embodiment of a balcony device, which can essentially correspond to the installation situations and / or the configurations of the balcony devices of FIGS. 1a and 1b.

In this embodiment, too, an improved utilization of the available space is brought about by the fact that the upper cantilever depth 10, which is measured in the area of the upper functional surface 5, is greater than the lower cantilever depth 9, which is measured in the area of the lower functional area 3, which results in a converging or tapering shape of the balcony device. In order to use the space efficiently, the upper functional surface 5 is arranged in the outer region 15 of the balcony device, so that an exemption 11 can be kept below the upper functional surface 5. The outer region 15 can be the region of the balcony device that runs along the entire outermost contour of the balcony device or parts thereof, as seen from above.

In all embodiments, as in this embodiment as well, the ratio of the cantilever depths 9, 10 is selected such that the difference 12 between the upper cantilever depth 10 minus the lower cantilever depth 9 is smaller than the vertical distance 13 between the upper functional surface 5 and the lower functional surface 3. This defines in particular that the surface of the balcony device pointing in the direction of the release 11 is inclined by an angle of greater than 45 ° with respect to the substrate.

The present embodiment comprises an upper intermediate space 26, which is arranged below or immediately below the upper functional surface 5. In this upper intermediate space 26, as in this embodiment as well, a substrate vessel 27 can be provided. For this purpose, the plant substrate of the substrate vessel 27 preferably extends up to the upper functional surface 5, so that the upper functional surface 5 as / 44

Plant substrate surface Ί is formed. In the present illustration, the

Seat 6 and the plant substrate surface 7 are arranged one behind the other in the projecting direction, that is to say viewed side by side from above, so that viewed from above a seat surface 6 and a plant substrate surface 7 are provided side by side.

In the present embodiment, a lower intermediate space 25 is provided below the lower functional surface 3.

In the present embodiment, the vessel bottom surface 30 is inclined, in particular inclined, so that a deeper region 31 is formed. In the present embodiment, this deeper region 31 is arranged in the inner region 22 of the balcony device. If water penetrates the collecting vessel 28, it collects first in the lower region 31. Since this lower region 31 is arranged in the inner region 22, the center of gravity is kept in the region of the building, which contributes to a more favorable force distribution. With this construction it can be advantageous if the deeper region 31 extends into the side region or regions 18 (FIG. 3). In the side region 18, the upper intermediate space 26 can extend as far as the lower region 31, so that the water arranged in the lower region 31 can penetrate into the upper intermediate space 26 and in particular into the substrate vessel 27 arranged in this region.

At least one overflow 37 or an overflow edge is preferably provided, via which water can be released to the surroundings as soon as the water level in the collecting vessel 28 exceeds a maximum level. Alternatively or additionally, one or more spouts 42 (FIG. 2) can also be provided, via which the excess rainwater can be drained off.

FIG. 3 shows a sectional illustration of a balcony device, the viewing direction essentially running against the main direction 1. The building outer surface 2 thus runs essentially in the image plane. The components identified correspond to those components which are also described in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The embodiment of FIG. 3 may be the same embodiment that is also shown in FIG. 2.

The balcony device comprises an upper lateral functional surface 16, which is arranged in a side region 18 and runs essentially horizontally and along the main direction 1. In particular, the balcony device comprises two side areas 18, an upper lateral functional surface 16 being arranged in each of the two side areas 18. In the present embodiment, the upper lateral functional surface 16 projects beyond the lower functional surface 3 in the lateral direction, that is to say in particular transverse to the main direction 1. This allows the balcony device to be given a shape in which the upper lateral extension 20 is larger in the region of the upper lateral functional surface 16 than the lower lateral extension 19 in the area of the lower functional surface 3. The balcony device and its

As a result, the side contour 17 can also be designed to converge laterally downwards, as a result of which shading of the lower floor can be reduced. Here too, the available space of the balcony device is used efficiently by the lateral attachment or by the attachment of the upper lateral functional surface 16 in the side region 18. The lower functional surface 3 is arranged in the center, in particular in the central region 21, and is limited by the lower discharge depth 9 and the lateral extent 19.

In this embodiment, the balcony device comprises an inner covering 40, which is formed on the inside and covers the area between the seat surface 6 and the balcony floor 4.

Figures 4a, 4b and 4c show views of different configurations of balcony devices, which are designed in particular according to one of Figures 1 to 3. The components identified therein essentially correspond to those components / / 44 which are described in FIGS. 1 to 3.

The balcony device is arranged on an outer surface 2 of the building and protrudes therefrom along a main direction 1. In particular, the balcony device is arranged in the area of a wall opening, a window or an exit of the building. The balcony device comprises an upper functional surface 5, which are also referred to as upper lateral functional surfaces 16 in the side areas 18. The upper functional surfaces run in the outer region 15 or in the side regions 18. The lower functional surface 3 is arranged in the central region 21. As a result, in the present embodiment, the lower functional surface 3 is surrounded in a U-shape by the upper functional surfaces 5. In particular, this arrangement allows the balcony device to have a shape that converges downwards and / or an exemption 11 can be kept free without restricting the available space in the area of the upper functional surfaces 5.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4a, a continuous seat 6 is formed, which extends in the outer region 15 and in the side regions 18 in a U-shape around the central region 21. In the central area 21, for example, a table can be arranged, whereby the seat 6 can be used as a bench.

Those areas in which the upper balcony fastening means 33 and building fastening means 34 of the mounting arrangement 32 are arranged can be covered by a side covering 43. This surface can be inclined, for example, in order to form a backrest which points essentially obliquely outwards.

In the embodiments of FIGS. 4b and 4c, plant substrate surfaces 7 are also provided in addition to the seat surface 6. It is preferably provided that the upper functional surfaces 5 are constructed in an elemented manner, so that a seating surface 6 or a plant substrate surface 7 can be formed optionally and / or in sections.

FIG. 5 shows an oblique view of a balcony device, which may possibly correspond to a balcony device according to FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and / or 4, parts of the fall protection device 8 being hidden for better visibility of the structure. The balcony device protrudes from the outer surface 2 of the building along a main direction 1. The lower functional surface 3 is provided in the central region 21 and in particular is formed by / 44 the balcony floor 4. An outer functional surface 5 is provided in the outer region 15, which is arranged further outward along the main direction 1 than the lower one

Functional surface 3. As a result, the higher-lying upper functional surface 5 projects beyond the lower functional surface 3 along the main direction 1, as a result of which the balcony device can have a shape that converges downward.

Upper functional surfaces 5, namely the two upper lateral functional surfaces 16, are also arranged in the side regions 18. The assembly arrangement 32, which is not visible, is hidden by an outer cladding 24 and by surfaces which run essentially along the outer surface 2 of the building and are designed, for example, as backrests.

The upper functional surface 5, in particular the seat surface 6, can be designed in several parts, so that parts of this surface can be folded away or removed. Parts of the upper functional surface 5 can thereby be replaced, for example, by a plant substrate surface 7.

The fall protection device 8, the surface areas of which are hidden, has a plurality of uprights in the present embodiment. Any surface areas that act as a railing can be attached to these uprights. In particular, starting from the upper functional surfaces 5, these surface fields can first be designed as railings and backrests. An air- and light-permeable area can be provided next to this area.

In the embodiments according to the invention, the fall protection 8 can be designed with different railing fillings 44. The fall protection device 8 can thus be designed as a continuous railing, glass panes or also by combinations of closed, open or railing fillings 44 interspersed with struts.

In the present embodiment, the balcony fastening means 33 is also designed as an extension or web. However, the balcony fastening means 33 protrudes substantially transversely to the main direction 1, so that the balcony fastening means 33 can be supported on the building fastening means 34 in the transverse direction. At least one of the fasteners 33, 34, preferably both fasteners 33, 34 are hook-shaped, so that one fastener 33, 34 can be hooked into the other fastener 33, 34.

An adjustment device 35 is provided to adjust the position of the balcony fastening means 33 relative to the building fastening means 34. In the present embodiment, this adjusting device 35 comprises three adjusting means, which are designed in particular as threaded screws or adjusting screws. These three adjusting means run normally to one another, so that the position can be adjusted spatially along three degrees of freedom. If the desired position of the balcony fastening means 33 relative to the building fastening means 34 has been selected, this position can be fixed using the fixing device 36.

Three, four or more of such constructions are preferably provided, which together form the mounting arrangement 32. The position of the balcony device in relation to the building can be selected by the adjusting device 35.
