Description

The The invention relates to a holding element with a sliding element with lateral Profiles for sliding bearings in a C-profile with a longitudinal slot with lateral rail edge webs on which the sliding element with picks up the undersides of side profiles.

From the DE 20 2010 000 173 U1 is a holding element with a slider for sliding bearings in a C-profile, in particular C-profile curtain rail, known, in which the slider is designed as a pivotally mounted molded part and in the longitudinal slot of the C-profile in the tilted state can be inserted and after the Insertion in a horizontal position pivots, in which the sliding elements rest on the lateral rail edge webs of the longitudinal slot. In another embodiment, it is provided that the slider is provided with a longitudinal pin which is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis and the top side has a double-sided rotary lever which can be rotated after passing through the longitudinal gap, so that the undersides of the rotary lever on the rail edge webs of the C-profile can take up. The holding elements specified therein may have hooks, eyes and the like in order to fasten curtains using eyelets or loops. You can additionally or instead also have a profile so that retaining strips can be attached to the holding elements, where, for example, via Velcro curtains are fastened.

Holding elements that are also suitable for such use, but formed differently in the formation of the functional approach are in the DE 20 2009 005 004 U1 and in the earlier utility model application of the applicant DE 20 2010 000 119 described. The functional approach consists of a rigid and a spring-mounted slider, which are movable toward each other and can be inserted into the longitudinal slot of the C-profile. The sliding elements engage after releasing the side edge webs of the longitudinal slot and lie on it.

From the DE 85 27 230 U1 a curtain slider is known, consisting of a depressible into the longitudinal groove of the guide channel of a curtain rail sliding head whose outer width is greater than the width of the longitudinal groove, and attached to the sliding head suspension member for fixing a curtain, which consists of a material of high inherent rigidity. The sliding head is slotted approximately in its longitudinal center plane to form two resilient expansion legs, which allow a spreading movement substantially within the slot width. The outer ends of the expansion limbs engage on the rail edge webs of the C-profile during insertion. These sliders can not be removed from the longitudinal slot of the C-profile after insertion in the same position.

From the DE 69 36 148 U1 is a terminal for the connection of a curtain with a running rail, which may also have a C-profile, known, which can be inserted at any point from below into the rail. The clamping slider is a double-sided shaped spring with lateral locking lugs, which have ramps. By pushing the Klemmgleiters in the C-profile, the sliding bevels cause the two resilient legs are moved towards each other, so that the locking lugs can rest on the rail edge webs when the slopes are overcome. An extraction from the C-profile is not possible with this design. The same applies to the double spring formed as the slider according to the DE 31 08 832 A1 ,

A slider with arranged in series, outwardly biased spring legs with Gleitansätzen in an arc shape is further from the WO 99/47032 known. The gliders can be pressed into the longitudinal slot of the C-profile and pivot at the same time. Due to the design, the slider can also be pulled out of the C-profile due to excessive pull-off force. As a result, no secure hold is given especially in heavy curtains or mounting rods.

From the DE 20 2005 013 671 U1 a carriage for a Flächenvorhangeinrichtung in a longitudinal attachment surface is known, which is preferably formed by a hook track of a hook and loop fastener. On the carriage slide members are provided for insertion into a slot guide having a curtain rail. The sliding element is designed as a pivoting engagement hook which has a width exceeding the opening width of the slot guide. Due to the shape of the slider and in particular by the connection to the retaining strip for the curtain unilateral forces acting on the slider. Furthermore, torques can act on the slider so that a steady transverse force component acts on it. This can lead to breakages on the hook connection, especially with longer service life and higher loads.

From the DE 42 38 454 A1 a device for suspending and removing a curtain from a running rail is known, wherein the curtain has suspension elements with rollers and the running rail on its underside has a running in the rail longitudinal guide slot for passing the suspension elements. The rollers and their bearing arms are compressible against spring action on a removal width, the ge ringer than the slot width. The pins projecting outwardly on pins are mounted on the holder one behind the other on resilient legs, which are provided with a pretensioning effect in the same way as they are pressed outwards. It has been found that there are difficulties in the removal when using two resilient legs, as such holders can easily tilt when removing them from the guide slot.

From the DE 42 00 483 A1 is a slider for curtain rails with an eyelet for receiving a curtain loop and with a form-fitting and longitudinally movable in an undercut channel of the curtain rail or curtain rail with C-profile engaging engagement member known, which can be latched under temporary elastic deformation in any longitudinal positions in the channel of the curtain rail , The engaging member has two sliding members engaging with the opposite edges of the channel, on which are disposed two opposing projections which engage the two sliding members at a distance and with the curtain rail. The two sliding elements are connected to each other via an elastic element and deformable such that the two sliding elements reach a staggered position.

A similar plastic glides with a hook attachment for attaching curtains is from the DE 24 16 682 C2 known. The head and neck of the slider are laterally limited by cylindrical surfaces. The cutting plane with the curtain plane forms an angle of about 45 °, wherein the head and the neck of a central cylindrical, about the wall thickness of the head corresponding hole are interspersed. This allows a mutual rotation in order to be pulled out of the longitudinal slot of the curtain rail in a transverse position.

From the DE 21 07 224 A a curtain inner slider made of thermoplastic material is known, which can be used at any point in tunnel-like guide channels a curtain strip by elastic yielding of individual parts and from a slider, a lying outside the guide channel hook part and the slider and the hook part connecting in the guide slot of the guide channel itself Neck part exists. The slider has a transverse to the hook portion, in its longitudinal direction in the longitudinal slot of the C-profile retractable latch. The hook part consists of two single hooks which are resiliently spread outwardly when inserting the slider through the longitudinal slot of the C-profile to the guide channel and lie in the position of use of the slider with their upper ends within the longitudinal slot.

From the DE 93 01 040 U1 is a holding element with a slider made of thermoplastic material known, which can be brought by turning in a different orientation to the curtain rail. The attached eyelets can be spent in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal slot of the C-profile or in the transverse direction. In the transverse direction, the resilient legs can be pressed so far against each other that the sliding elements can be pulled out of the longitudinal slot of the C-profile adjacent to the sliders. The sliders can also be snapped into position of the longitudinal slot of the C-profile. The sliding elements have for this purpose on the head-side locking lugs, which form a guide gap with underlying approaches. Between the two mounted on the legs glides a support spring is interposed.

outgoing from the aforementioned prior art, the present invention the task is based, a holding element of the generic type so educate that it is easier in a longitudinal slot a C-profile of a curtain rail used and also easier is removable again, with a self-locking storage of the Slider be enabled and a vertical orientation should be guaranteed.

The Task solves the invention by design of the retaining element according to the specified in claim 1 technical Doctrine, according to which the holding element in the longitudinal slot Having the C-profile extending into holding web, on which a first Attached profile of the sliding element. The first profile is involved in contrast, by means of a film hinge with in Longitudinal direction of the longitudinal slot extending Swivel axle springy on the retaining bar on the top or on the first profile head side opposite direction arranged profile together; Both profiles have head-side outward Beveled on, which by insertion Attachment to the outer edges of the rail edge webs in the longitudinal slot area a forced displacement of the resilient second profile against the first profile against the force of the spring and after insertion a relative spreading allow the profiles. At the second profile is a from the longitudinal slot above actuating arm molded, the pressure exerted by the second profile so far pivots until the slider out of the longitudinal slot is pivotable laterally out.

advantageous Further developments of the invention are in the subclaims specified in detail.

The connecting part between the holding element and sliding element is a holding web. This may for example have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. He can also be an oval, round or have a different shape. At least the upper end of the section must be so narrow that the retaining bar only needs a narrow insertion area in the slot of the C-profile, so that the at least second profile, which is injected via a film hinge to the plastic retaining web, is so far pivotable in that this profile can snap into the C-profile. The insertion can be assisted by pressure on the actuating arm.

On the bottom side, the holding webs are fastened directly to the holding element or made in one piece as a molded part with the holding element. But it is also possible to the holding webs fasteners, for example, latching elements, to inject, which can be pressed into recesses of the holding element and are then secured against withdrawal. Examples of this can be found for example in the DE 20 2005 013 671 U1 , of the WO 99/47032 , of the DE 31 08 832 A1 ,

But the holding webs can also have a tongue-shaped extension, which according to the doctrine of DE 20 2010 000 289 U1 are formed and in each case a receptacle in a holding element can be inserted and thereby overlaps an abutment with a lower crosspiece, so that a retraction security is given. This is to show that the holding element with the holding web on the one hand forms a unit, on the other hand, but also the holding web may have corresponding projections to allow a latching connection with the holding element. The holding element must also have corresponding devices in the latter case. This makes it possible to form at least the second profile via a film hinge on the retaining web and also provided with an actuating arm to allow subsequent release from the C-profile by compressing the profiles, ie to establish a connection with the retaining element without the principle of the invention to leave.

The Invention speaks of lateral profiles of the sliding element, the may have different configuration. Eg The profiles can have bow structures, they can but also have nose shapes and indeed in various forms. The only thing that matters is that the top-sided connection always goes into a movie hinge and a desired one Elasticity is guaranteed and the surfaces designed so that on it the outer edges the rail edge webs of the C-profile can slide along at least the profile, which is attached with a film hinge, to be forced to pivot when inserting. It is but also possible by lateral pressure by means of a finger on the molded actuating arm to cause the pivoting. This is especially necessary if the sliding element again from the longitudinal slot of the C-profile should be pulled out without it over the end of the C-profile to move out. The molded actuating arm has expediently to an actuating surface, z. B. a grooved surface to a fingertip one to provide a secure hold.

The first and second profiles can of course also both attached to the retaining bar via film hinges be. But it is also possible to profile on the bridge to mount, which do not pivot over a film hinge leaves while the second profile over a film hinge is attached to the first profile to be sufficient Way to allow pivoting of the second profile so that after insertion into the longitudinal slot also a Removal from the C-profile can be done in the manner described. In the case that both profiles are provided with film hinges, can on both profiles but also control arms be sprayed with actuating surfaces to this to be able to pivot against each other. The profiles can basically offset on the support web in series against each other be arranged. You can also go to the jetty be arranged in mirror image at the same height.

In In another embodiment, moreover, the second Profile on the first profile directly above a film hinge be integrally formed. Both profiles that form the locking lugs are then produced in a mold by injection molding, the second profile being extended through the slot re-emergent actuator arm to about it to be able to be pivoted if necessary is. The film hinge is practically a spring and causes also a relative spreading of the lateral profiles to each other, so that in any case after insertion of the sliding element in the longitudinal slot safe storage is given.

The Holding element itself can be a variety of forms and training exhibit. This can be adapted to the field of application and manufactured and either in one piece together with the retaining bars or be made as a separate part and with the retaining webs over the connection types described are connectable. So can For example, be functional elements molded. these can For example, represent carrier hooks for other parts. But it can also block-like functional elements or Fasteners to be molded with, the shots and formations have, for example, Ω-shaped recordings attach a retaining strip for curtains or to be able to press in, which is a corresponding Ω-shaped Have opposite profile.

But the formations can also be designed so that other retaining strips with U-profile can be fastened therein or pushed into the receptacle into it. Possible embodiments of the retaining element for receiving such retaining strips are also in the DE 20 2010 000 289 U1 as well as in the DE 20 2010 000 173 U1 described. It can be seen that the invention can be used in conjunction with all possible Halteelementausbildungen and easy insertion at any point of a longitudinal slot of a C-profile, such as a curtain rail or a wall strip allows and can be selectively removed again without fear that any Breaking out parts or having to move beyond the end of the C-profile.

The Invention is described below with reference to an illustrated in the drawings Embodiment explained in addition.

In the drawing, the figures show a holding element, which is designed according to the invention. This is made of plastic and is made in one piece as a molded part of injection molding. The holding element according to the 1 . 2 and 3 consists of a sliding element 1 , the two laterally shaped profiles 2a and 2 B has, in the present case nose-shaped profiles with inclined surfaces 9 on the tops. The first profile 2a has on the nasal side down a protruding holding bridge 7 on, which is arranged as a connecting web extending vertically downwards and at the end of an Anformung in the form of a fastener 12 having. This fastener 12 is with longitudinal recesses 13 and 14 provided as recordings for in the 4 . 5 and 6 illustrated retaining strip 16 serve, which has a corresponding Ω-shaped side structure and taking advantage of its own spring tension here in the recesses 13 and 14 is insertable.

Essential to the invention is now the formation of the sliding element 1 , The sliding element 1 namely points to the transition of the first profile 2a to the second profile 2 B a wall taper that acts as a movie hinge 8th is formed. This movie hinge 8th is designed so that the side profile 2 B in the direction of the first profile 2a can be pivoted. To make this possible at all is to the second profile 2 B a holding arm 10 formed according to the invention, which is formed in the embodiment relatively long and initially extends parallel to the retaining bar and then issued according to issued is to over the operating portion 11 a corrugation as needed to be able to be operated.

It These are relatively small parts, as they usually are to be used for curtains. The parts can but the Be used adapted in each case application. For example the holding elements can also contain functional elements, which allow attachment of an image to a wall. For this purpose, at least one C-profile would be horizontal to install on a wall, in which the holding elements then inserted can be.

The upper C-profiles are required for attachment to the ceiling or wall, while the lower C-profiles of receiving elements for attachment of curtains, curtains and the like are provided, for. B. shading curtains, fly curtains or blinds and curtains. In a C-profile 3 the holding element designed according to the invention can be used. The arrow in 4 mention, that. The C-profile has a clear width which is at least as wide as the outer spacing of the corner regions of the pofiles 2a and 2 B , The longitudinal slot 4 however, narrower is formed and corresponds to the outer width dimension between the outside of the retaining bar 7 and the neck shaping of the actuating arm 10 , what made 5 is apparent.

Will now the holding element, as from 4 seen, upwards in the longitudinal slot 4 inserted, so come the lower edges of the rail edge webs 5a and 5b for resting on the inclined surfaces 9 so that about the movie hinge 8th automatically the lateral profile 2 B in the direction of the first profile 2a is pivoted. When pushed further so the slider snaps into the C-profile 3 one. After overflowing the rail edge webs obtained the film hinge 8th automatically the required spread. The retaining element is then kept secured. In the example, the holding element has a fastening element 12 on that, for inclusion in a retaining rail 16 is designed accordingly. The retaining rail 16 also has an Ω-shaped counter profile and can, taking advantage of the resilient properties of the side legs either in the form-fitting recesses 13 . 14 be pressed or pushed into it. On the outside is an area zipper 17 applied to the example, the fabric of a curtain can be fastened by pressing. For smooth fabrics, they are sewn onto these counter surface zipper elements to make the connection.
