Next Window elements, the invention is also for doors and the like.

advantageously, is associated with the electrically driven element, a sensor element which Control commands of the control means of the handle receives and in signals for controlling an electric drive of the electric implemented driven element. Such sensor elements can directly be integrated in the electric drive.

advantageously, the components of the window element are adjustable before installation. This allows a long-lasting function of the window element.

advantageously, are the sensor and / or transmitting means for operating multiple windows on one formed single handle. This allows networking several window elements that are arranged in a room. Thereby is the user pressing the controls on each spared individual windows.

advantageously, the electrically driven element is designed as a roller shutter or a shutter.

embodiments

Further Objectives, advantages, features and applications of the The present invention will become apparent from the following description of the Embodiments with reference to the drawings. Make up all described and / or illustrated features for itself or in any meaningful combination the object of present invention, also independent of their summary in the claims or their dependency.

It demonstrate:

1 a schematic representation of a handle according to the invention,

2 a schematic sectional view through a handle according to the invention,

3 an inventive window element in a perspective view and

4 a schematic representation of a window element according to the invention.

The 1 shows a schematic representation of a handle according to the invention 1 for a in 1 not shown Fester. The handle has a handle 2 , a rosette 3 as well as a square 4 for the mechanical connection with a fitting of the window. Alternatively, shutters or the like can be controlled.

At the open end of the handle 2 there is a control element 5 , with which further operating functions can be executed. Inside the handle 2 There is a control unit, which in 2 is described in more detail. The control unit is used for radio control of a roller shutter. By pressing the operating element 5 it is possible to close the shutter, stop the drive or to open the shutter. Furthermore, it is possible with the control 5 Activate specified or taught-in programs.

The operating element 5 is designed as a button, but could also be designed as a switch with multiple switch positions or as a button. Also the arrangement on the handle 2 is not necessarily. For example, the control element could 5 also be arranged circumferentially on the handle. The arrangement follows more aesthetic and ergonomic aspects than technical. In order to prevent accidental actuation, an arrangement at the open end has proven to be particularly useful.

To power the control means, a battery compartment is provided, which by means of a lid 6 is accessible.

The handle 2 has another control 7 on, which is arranged concealed. The further control element 7 serves to place the control means in a special mode and is therefore recessed to protect against accidental actuation. As a special mode, for example, a learning mode in question in which new operating programs are incorporated or with the help of which an adjustment of the shutter system can be made.

Through minor modifications, it is possible to handle 1 be equipped with optical control means which are arranged so that they are in visual contact with a receiving unit, not shown.

The control means in the handle 1 serve for direct control of the roller shutter.

The control means are designed so that with the only provided for normal operation control 5 all functions can be operated. For this purpose, it is provided either in control means of the handle or in the control means of the roller shutter to be controlled that successive actuation of the operating element 5 different actions in the drive to be controlled triggers. For example, the first operation lowers the roller shutter and the next time you press the shutter Shutters stopped. Another press would raise the roller shutter further. If the roller shutter drive has been operated to close the shutter and the shutter has reached its stop, performs a further actuation of the control element 5 to lift the shutter. Through different operating times, it is also possible to close the shutter in a predetermined manner. For example, it is sometimes desired by the user that when used in a bedroom, the shutter does not close completely tight, but some slats remain open to let a certain amount of residual light into the room. Such programs can by the already described with the other control 7 activatable learning program be entered.

The 2 shows the handle 1 out 1 in a sectional view. In the handle 2 Integrated there is a battery compartment 8th and control means. The control means comprise the operating element 5 , the more control 7 as well as a circuit board 9 on top of which a microprocessor 10 as well as a radio antenna 11 are arranged. The board 9 works with the controls 5 . 7 together.

In the microprocessor 10 The various functions mentioned above can be stored.

The window 21 is by means of the handle according to the invention 1 in the usual way over the hinges 25 tilt and swivel. Such a window element 20 can be completely pre-produced by a factory and easily installed during house construction. Through the integration of roller shutter box 24 and window frames 22 and by the radio control of the shutter 23 by means of the handle 1 It has become possible to reduce cold spots to a minimum. Compared to known from the prior art electric roller shutter assemblies, the window element 20 the further advantage that it can also be completely adjusted in the factory, so that the window 21 Immediately after installation is ready for use.

The shutter box 24 has a supernatant directed to the interior 26 on, which makes it possible to use also optical controls in addition to the radio controls used in the embodiments presented here, as between handle 1 and supernatant 26 a line of sight exists.

In addition to the embodiment shown here with roller shutters 23 is also conceivable to equip a window element with, for example, laterally opening, electrically driven shutters, which also by means of the handle 1 are remote controllable. Furthermore, it is conceivable to equip not only windows, but also exterior doors accordingly, for example balcony doors or other exterior doors.

The 4 shows the window element 20 in a schematic representation.

The shutter 23 is in the shutter box 24 on a winding shaft 27 wound. The winding shaft 27 stands with a drive shaft 28 an engine 29 in connection and is drivable by means of this compound.

The motor 29 is through the line 30 powered. The motor 29 is through the sensor element 31 directly controlled. By pressing the control element 5 is - in the case of a radio remote control - a radio signal emitted by means of the sensor element 31 is received and that to a control unit of the engine 29 is transmitted further. The motor 29 thus becomes dependent on the desired operating state for winding or unwinding the roller shutter 23 activated.

Since rooms very often have more than one window, according to the invention can furthermore be provided that with a control element 5 a window and other shutters of other windows can be activated in a corresponding manner. So it is possible to reduce the number of components and thus costs.
