Description

The invention relates to a guide rail, in particular corner guide rail, for a shading device and / or an insect protection device, with a profile body in which at least one guide channel for receiving guide elements of a curtain of the shading device and / or the insect protection device is formed, a shading device or insect protection device with a curtain and with guide rails, wherein on the curtain guide elements are arranged, which partially engage in a guide channel of the guide rails, and extending over a corner window assembly with frameless in the corner adjoining glass surfaces, and arranged in the window arrangement shading and / or insect protection device , which has a guide rail, in particular a corner rail, in the region of the adjoining glass surfaces.

In modern residential construction, the corners of two adjoining walls are often at least partially made of glass elements, so-called all-glass corners. These at least partially frameless windows thus at least partially form the corner, for which purpose at least two glass elements are mounted angularly and in this corner area framelessly to each other, often at right angles, and adjacent to each other (with the interposition of a sealing element). The reason for this window education lies mainly in the architectural appearance of the building.

This architecture presents the manufacturer of shading with the problem that the architectural appearance is as far as possible not disturbed by the shading device. Relatively unproblematic is the arrangement of the boxes of shading devices, since they can be fastened above the window. For external blinds, however, the individual slats must be guided laterally. For this purpose, it is possible to stretch a rope in the region of the adjoining windows, which extends through the slats in the whole glass corner area. However, this has the disadvantage that the blades are noisy when exposed to wind. In general, this type of lamella attachment is susceptible to wind.

In order to avoid this disadvantage, embodiments of external venetian blinds are known from the prior art, in which the slats are guided in lateral guide rails. However, the arrangement of such guide rails contradicts the architectural requirements, since the whole glass corner is at least partially covered by the guide rails, whereby on the one hand the impression of framelessness is disturbed and on the other hand the view in the corner of the glass cover is impaired.

The object of the invention is to provide a possibility for the arrangement of a shading device and / or an insect protection device on a Ganzglaseck.

This object of the invention is achieved independently by the aforementioned guide rail, the aforementioned shading device and / or insect protection device and the aforementioned window assembly, wherein the profile body of the guide rail is made of a translucent or transparent material, in the shading device and / or insect protection device Guide rail is formed according to the invention and in the window assembly, the guide rail or the shading device and / or insect protection device according to the invention is formed.

The advantage here is that for a full glass corner a stable guidance of the curtain, in particular the slats of a Venetian blind, can be provided without the incidence of light and the view in the corner of the whole glass corner is significantly or disturbing. It also has the advantage that it can be dispensed with additional measures that must be set in aluminum profiles in order to achieve the adaptation to the appearance of Ganzglaseckes. For example, it is not necessary that the outer, the glass side facing away from the surface of the guide rails must be specially coated.

According to one embodiment of the guide rail can be provided that the guide channel is limited by surfaces of the profile body and at least one of these surfaces is frosted. Although it is associated with the disadvantage that the view through the guide rail is partially obstructed, but outweighs this disadvantage of the advantage thus achieved, namely that the guide elements are subject to lower friction due to the rough surface. As an additional effect, the view of the guide elements is thus at least partially reduced, so that it is not necessary to take into account certain materials with regard to the guide elements, but this material can be selected according to the function of the guide elements.

In the preferred embodiment, the profile body is made of a polymethylmethacrylate. It is thus achieved the advantage that provided a plastic profile rail can not only be UV-resistant, but also have improved hail resistance. In addition, the rail can therefore also have an improved strength of the surface. In addition, it is also a simple adaptation of the guide rail to various specifications of the tender in terms of color design by simple coloring of the polymethyl methacrylate possible, so that can be dispensed with additional coating techniques.

It is further preferred if the profile body is formed in one piece. Although the processing of the guide rail, in particular the formation of the at least one guide channel, and the maintainability of the curtain are made difficult by the one-piece, however, so that the advantage is achieved that can be dispensed with additional fasteners, whereby the architectural requirements can be better met.

Especially for long, i. high hangings, it is advantageous if the profile body has a gain, since thus the torsional stiffness or generally the mechanical properties of the rail can be improved.

It is advantageous if the reinforcement is designed as a fiber reinforcement, wherein in particular the fibers consist of a translucent or transparent material. Due to the fiber reinforcement, the homogeneity of the profile rail is hardly affected despite the reinforcing elements. In addition, it is thus not necessary that these reinforcing elements must be arranged separately in or in the rail, whereby the one-piece design of the rail is supported.

For better guidance of the blind can be provided according to a variant of the shading device or insect protection device, that the guide channel of the guide rail has at least one undercut, whereby an axial securing of the guide is achieved.

It is advantageous if the guide elements can be removed by twisting in a revision position of the blind from the guide channel, as a complete disassembly of the shading device or insect protection device for maintenance can be avoided.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

Each shows in a schematically simplified representation:

1 a section of a Ganzglaseck with attached shading device according to the prior art in plan view;

2 a detail of a Ganzglaseck with attached shading device according to the invention in plan view;

3 a corner profile in cross section;

4 different positions of slats of an external venetian blind.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals and the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied mutatis mutandis to the same parts of the invention with the same reference numerals and component designations. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position.

In 1 is a section of a over a corner 1 a building extending window arrangement 2 shown in plan view. The window arrangement 2 includes a first window elements 3 and a second window element 4 , The two window elements 3 . 4 are arranged in such a way to each other that this window arrangement 2 forms a so-called Ganzglaseck.

The term Ganzglaseck is an arrangement of glass elements or window elements 3 . 4 understood, in which the two glass elements or window elements 3 . 4 are executed frameless at least in the corner and are then arranged one another and at an angle to each other. There is the possibility that the window elements 3 . 4 are guided below and / or above in a frame.

The two window elements 3 . 4 are preferably formed as multi-disc composite elements, wherein in the illustrated embodiment, these are designed as three-disc laminated glasses. To form the corner area has one of the two window elements 3 . 4 , in the illustrated embodiment, the window element 3 , a wider outer window 5 on. The supernatant is so large that one end face 6 of the second window element 4 from this windowpane 5 is covered, the windowpane 5 to the outside but not protrudes, but flush with the window element 4 concludes. To connect the two window elements 3 . 4 may be provided in the area in which these adjoin one another a commercially available adhesive.

Since such Ganzglasecken belong to the prior art, reference is made to further details in the relevant prior art.

In front of the two window elements 3 . 4 is in the outdoor area each a shading device 7 . 8th arranged. These shading devices 7 . 8th are formed as so-called, known from the prior art, Venetian blinds and each have a plurality of superimposed and lowered in the vertical direction or liftable slats 9 . 10 on. The slats 9 . 10 are usually made of a metal, such as aluminum, and / or a plastic.

For lateral guidance of the slats 9 . 10 are at these left and right guide elements 11 . 12 , so-called guide nipple, attached. These guide elements 9 . 10 may also be made of a metal and / or a plastic.

In each case to the left and right of a curtain, the entirety of the slats 9 . 10 a shading device 7 . 8th are called blinds, is a guide rail 13 . 14 arranged (in 1 is only one guide rail 13 . 14 shown per blind). These guide rails 13 . 14 are usually made of a metal, in particular aluminum.

The guide rails 13 . 14 are with respect to the cross section as so-called "distance guide rails" executed and are fixed up to a maximum system height of 1000 mm with so-called distance feet without further stiffening. For plant heights over 1000 mm, a continuous reinforcement is used, as in 1 between the guide rails 13 . 14 is shown. This reinforcement may consist of a forming tube or a corresponding angle, or it will be the guide rails 13 . 14 even reinforced so that they are self-supporting over the element height. In all cases, however, an accumulation of opaque, coated material with the disadvantages described is present in the corner region.

In the guide rails 13 . 14 is in each case a guide channel 15 . 16 formed (the two guide rails thus have an at least approximately U-shaped cross-section in plan view), extending in the vertical direction over the entire height of the guide rails 13 . 14 forming profile body 17 . 18 extends. To guide the slats during the raising or lowering of the curtain, the guide elements protrude 11 . 12 in these channels 15 . 16 ,

How out 1 it can be seen, are the two guide rails 13 . 14 forcibly exactly in the area of the corner 1 arranged, and thus obscure the window elements 3 . 4 in this area, so that the review in this area is disturbed. In addition, these guide rails 13 . 14 usually also in the view from the outside on the Ganzglaseck perceived as disturbing.

For completeness, it should be mentioned that these guide rails 13 . 14 usually directly to the window assembly 2 adjoining wall, for example, using appropriate angle brackets to the desired spacing of the curtain to the window assembly 2 to reach. In the area of the head rail, ie in the area of the box for receiving the slats with the curtain open, the fastening can be made directly with the box. Since these attachment methods also belong to the prior art, reference is made to further details.

In the 2 and 3 is an embodiment of the guide rail 13 or the window arrangement 2 illustrated according to the invention, again for like parts, the same reference numerals or component names as in the preceding 1 be used. To avoid unnecessary repetition, refer to the detailed description of the previous one 1 referred or referred.

The guide rail 13 is designed as a corner rail. The profile body 17 the guide rail 13 has a first leg 19 and a second leg 20 on. The two thighs 19 . 20 are arranged at an angle to each other, which in the embodiment according to the 2 and 3 at least approximately, in particular exactly (within the manufacturing tolerances) is 90 °. Should the corner 1 forming another angle will also become the thighs 19 . 20 of the leadership profile 13 in that corner of the corner 1 arranged or formed to each other.

In the first thigh 19 is the guide channel 15 and in the second leg 20 the guide channel 16 arranged or formed. The guide channel 15 serves to guide the first curtain, so in particular the slats 9 the first external blind, and the guide channel 16 for guiding the second curtain, so in particular the slats 10 the second external blind. In other words, with the guide rail 13 this embodiment of the window assembly 2 the Management of two external venetian blinds or two shading devices 7 . 8th reached. The other guide rail of the two shading devices 7 . 8th are in 2 not shown.

The guide rail 13 is in this embodiment of the window assembly 2 in the corner 1 arranged. In particular, a cutting line runs 21 between the thighs 19 . 20 and through the corners of the guide rail 13 - viewed in plan view - in alignment with a miter 22 between a first and a second external venetian blind 23 . 24 is trained.

The profile body 17 the guide rail 13 according to the invention is made of a translucent or transparent material, ie made of a transparent material. In principle, all transparent materials come into question, such as glass and in particular plastics. A polymethyl methacrylate is preferred as a material but also as Plexiglas ^® known, used, for example, by Fa. Evonik. This plastic has the particular advantages that it can be produced with appropriate optical and mechanical properties. In particular, the surface of this plastic can be made scratch-proof and / or hail-proof.

In the context of the invention, a translucent or transparent material is understood as meaning a material which is permeable at least to visible light.

Other useful, though not preferred plastics are, for example, polycarbonates, polymethacrylmethylimides, cyclo-olefin copolymers, for example ^Topas® .

Preferably, a plastic is used which has an optical density at least approximately in the range of that of normal window glass. In particular, a plastic having a refractive index in the range of 1.4 to 1.7 (20 ° C and the sodium D-line) is used.

The profile body 17 is preferably formed in one piece. For the formation of the guide channels 15 . 16 these are made of the full material by machining, in particular by milling. But it is also possible, the profile body 17 to extrude, so no post-processing to form the guide channels 15 . 16 is required.

Although the one-piece embodiment of the guide rail 13 is the preferred, but it is within the scope of the invention, the possibility that this is composed of several parts, for example by the legs 19 . 20 of the profile body 17 each made separately and then to the guide rail 13 be assembled, in particular glued together and / or screwed. However, it is also another division of the guide rail 13 possible, for example, along the dashed lines 25 . 26 in 2 , In this embodiment, therefore, the two outer cover surfaces / cover walls of the guide channels 15 . 16 manufactured separately, eliminating the guide channels 15 . 16 can be made easier.

In principle, it is still possible that instead of a single guide rail 13 for both sides of the whole glass corner also two separate guide rails 13 . 14 be used as in 1 is shown, wherein the guide rails 13 . 14 but are made of the translucent or transparent material.

In addition to the execution of the blind as a venetian blind, it can also be a roller shutter, a textile sunscreen or an insect screen. With respect to the latter, there is a possibility that this in combination with the shading devices 7 . 8th is used. In this case, in the guide rail 13 or in the guide rails 13 . 14 two or one additional guide channel 15 . 16 be arranged for the lateral guidance of the insect screen, so that can be dispensed with additional guide rails. The additional guide channels are before or preferably behind the guide channels 15 . 16 - in relation to the window elements 3 . 4 - arranged.

It should be mentioned at this point that the shading device 7 . 8th and the insect repellent device with respect to the building, the window assembly 2 has, are arranged outside.

According to a further embodiment, it can be provided that the guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 at least a frosted surface 27 . 28 have, in particular a milky white. Preferably, all are the guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 matting delimiting surfaces. The matting can, for example, with the machining production, in particular the cutout, the guide channels 15 . 16 However, a corresponding post-processing is possible, for example by sandblasting or by applying a matte coating.

It can further be provided that the profile body 17 ( 18 ) has a gain. For this purpose, at least one reinforcing element, for example a reinforcing bar or a reinforcing plate, in particular made of a metal, in and / or on the profile body 17 ( 18 ) to be ordered. In the preferred embodiment of this reinforcement, however, this is formed by reinforcing fibers, which already in the production of the material for the profile body 17 ( 18 ), in particular an extruded, be incorporated. In this case, fibers are preferred which consist of a translucent or transparent material, for example glass fibers, plastic fibers, etc.

It is also possible that if necessary, the profile body 17 ( 18 ) of the guide rail 13 ( 14 ) is colored. It can be used for this purpose, the usual in the plastics industry dyes or pigments.

The guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 may have a rectangular, square, oval, etc. cross-section. In this guide channel 15 or these guide channels 15 . 16 To guide partially protrude the guide elements 11 . 12 , on the individual elements of the curtain or hangings, for example, the slats 9 . 10 are attached.

According to a preferred embodiment, however, it is provided that the guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 have at least one undercut. In particular, the guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 an approximately L-shaped (as in the 2 and 3 shown) or T-shaped cross-section. It is thus achieved an axial guidance of the curtain.

After the guide rail (s) 13 ( 14 ) are preferably made in one piece, are the guide elements 11 . 12 Preferably designed so that they by turning in a revision position of the blind from the guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 can be removed. In 4 Among other things, the so-called revision position of the slats of a Venetian blind is shown (uppermost slat 31 ). The middle lamella 32 is in the open and the lowest lamella 33 is shown in the closed position.

The revision position is a position in which the slats 31 - 33 , or generally the curtain, from the engagement of the guide rail (s) 13 ( 14 ) and in the normal operating mode (open or closed position) of the slats 31 - 33 not taken. In this revision, the slats 31 - 33 towards the rear in the direction of the respective window element 3 . 4 ( 2 ) so that the guide elements 11 . 12 ( 2 ) from the guide channel 15 or the guide channels 15 . 16 can be threaded out. These can be the guide elements 11 . 12 also have an L-shaped or T-shaped cross-section, wherein the short leg or the short legs of these profiles is brought by twisting in a vertical position for unthreading or be.

Although in the foregoing exclusively window elements 3 . 4 have been described, the invention is not limited to windows itself, but it can also be applied or used in door elements.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the construction of the guide rail 13 . 14 these or their components have been partially displayed off-scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced.
