Description

The present invention relates to a hanging set in the form of a tensioning cable set for hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like on a cable, comprising a cable, at least two holders for attachment to a fastening surface of a wall, a ceiling or the like and for holding the cable, and at least one tensioning device for tensioning the cable substantially parallel to a guide direction between a first holder and a second holder of the at least two holders.

In a known tension cable set of this kind for hanging curtains, the holders are designed to be attached to a vertical mounting surface such as a wall, and there is only a single section of cable running between the first and second holders. One or more blinds (transparent, generally white curtains) can be hung on this section of cable as a privacy screen in front of a window. If additional curtains (generally opaque over-curtains) that can be drawn in front of the blinds are to be attached in order to provide privacy at night, for example, a separate second tension cable set is necessary according to the state of the art. If the dimensions of the two tension cable sets are not coordinated, it is very difficult or even impossible to ensure that the two cables run in a plane perpendicular to the wall. Installation is complex simply because of the increased number of holders, and also because the two cables have to be tensioned individually. It is difficult to achieve the same rope tension for both ropes.

If a high rope tension is necessary to prevent the rope from sagging when loaded by heavy curtains or similar, the secure anchoring of the brackets required for this is often difficult to achieve due to insufficient wall strength. This is mainly due to the fact that the tension forces of the

· &zgr;

rope via a relatively long lever arm on the holder anchor.

In known tension cable sets for hanging lighting fixtures, especially low-voltage halogen lamps, two separate cables are generally stretched parallel to each other between a respective pair of holders. The holders, which are usually designed as hooks, must be mounted individually and are usually anchored in a wall. For aesthetic reasons, the two cables should have the same tension so that one cable does not sag further than the other. However, it is difficult to set the same tension for both cables.

In contrast, the object of the invention is to provide a tensioning cable set of the type mentioned, in which at least two cable sections that can be easily tensioned are provided between the first and second holders. This object is achieved in that at least one of the two first and second holders has deflection means for deflecting the cable coming from the other holder back to the other holder.

Thanks to the deflection means on the first and second holders, one rope is sufficient to ensure that at least two rope sections run between the two holders. To do this, the rope is guided back and forth between the first and second holders. By deflecting the rope, the tension transferred to the rope by at least one tensioning device acts on all rope sections simultaneously. One tensioning device is therefore sufficient and all rope sections guided between the two holders are automatically tensioned to the same extent. Since only two holders are required on both sides of the rope sections, the assembly of the tensioning rope set is greatly simplified.

It is preferred that when the holders are aligned with one another, the cable guided between the two holders while being deflected by the deflection means extends essentially in a cable plane defined by the guide direction and a deflection direction perpendicular to the guide direction, with the at least two cable sections running between the two holders running essentially parallel to one another. This results in an aesthetically pleasing impression, especially for the use of the tension cable set for hanging two curtains arranged one behind the other (in particular blinds with over-curtains) or low-voltage halogen lamps with two symmetrically arranged suspension elements.

Although in principle one tensioning device is sufficient to tension the rope, two tensioning devices can be assigned to the rope, one of which is provided on the first and the other on the second holder. This solution is on the one hand more aesthetically pleasing and on the other hand the structure is simplified and the manufacturing costs are reduced because two largely identical holders can be used. In addition, there is the advantage that the possible adjustment stroke for tensioning the rope is doubled, so that conventional adjustment elements with a relatively small stroke can be used. In this context, it is preferred that the at least one tensioning device has a clamping sleeve with a first internal thread and an opposite second internal thread, with a threaded rod with a corresponding external thread being assigned to the first and second internal threads. Such tensioning devices are inexpensive, extremely reliable and easy to use.

It is preferred that the deflection means on the respective holder comprise a plurality of mounting recesses arranged on a mounting web, in particular grooves and/or bores, wherein the mounting recesses are arranged essentially one behind the other in the deflection direction and each

• O

extend essentially parallel to the guide direction. Such mounting recesses can be easily made by milling or drilling on the mounting bar, resulting in low manufacturing costs. The dimensions of the mounting bar in the deflection direction depend primarily on the intended distance between the cable sections that are the farthest apart from each other. In every other direction, the mounting bar only needs to have small dimensions. This makes it possible to create filigree-looking holders.

It is preferred that the deflection means on the respective holder comprise a deflection element connected to the tensioning device provided on the holder. The respective tensioning device therefore acts directly on the rope via the deflection element and contributes to the deflection of the rope. A complicated mechanism for transferring the tensioning force of the tensioning device to the rope can thus be omitted.

If the cable sections are to span greater lengths, the tensioning cable set can include a third holder, hereinafter also referred to as an intermediate holder, for attachment between the first and second holders on the fastening surface and for supporting the cable stretched between the first and second holders. This prevents the cable from sagging despite the cable being very tense for large spans, or particularly heavy objects (such as curtains made of thick material) can be hung from the cable, as the corresponding weight forces are therefore absorbed by three holders.

To apply a voltage to at least one low-voltage halogen lamp or the like, the cable can be conductive, with at least two supply cable sections that are electrically insulated from one another or at least two supply cable conductors that are electrically insulated from one another being provided. Separate supply cables can thus be omitted.

In this context, it is preferred that, in the case of a metal carrier, the deflection means comprise insulating bushings, insulating rings or the like for insulating the feed rope sections or the feed rope cores from the carrier. At least one insulating rope section end connector can also be provided for connecting at least two feed rope sections to form one rope.

It is preferred that the first and second holders each have at least one fastening section for attachment to the fastening surface and a contact section, optionally designed as a fastening section, for attachment and optionally for attachment to the fastening surface, the fastening section and the contact section being spaced apart from one another along the guide direction by a first base distance and the contact section being closer to the other holder than the fastening section, the cable section furthest away from the fastening surface or the deflection means having a fastening surface distance from the fastening surface that does not exceed the first base distance. This prevents the forces caused by the cable tension from being increased by leverage and, in particular, reduces screw pull-out forces that occur on screws or the like that serve to anchor the respective holder and are provided on the fastening section facing away from the other carrier.

The tension of the cable stretched between the first and second holder results in a primary tensile force component perpendicular to the fastening surface and a primary compressive force component perpendicular to the fastening surface. The primary tensile force component acts on at least one fastening section, since this is further away from the other holder than the contact section. The primary compressive force component acts accordingly on the contact section. The contact section therefore needs (particularly with a correspondingly rigid

The fastening surface (i.e. connection of the installation section with the other elements of the respective holder) must not be fastened to the fastening surface using screws or the like. This is advantageous for applications in which the fastening surface is not suitable everywhere for anchoring the holder using screws or the like. Such an area could be, for example, a roller shutter box set into a wall above a window. To attach the tensioning cable set, the fastening sections could then be attached to the fastening surface on the side of the roller shutter box, for example, while the installation section is only supported on the fastening surface above the roller shutter box, i.e. is not fixed to the fastening surface by a screw or the like. If the fastening surface in the area of the installation section is also suitable for fastening the installation section using a screw or the like, there is nothing to prevent the installation section from being fastened accordingly using a screw or the like, provided it is designed as a fastening section. The installation section can also be referred to as a fastening section in this case.

The size of the primary tensile force component decreases with increasing distance of the relevant fastening section from the deflection means in the guide direction. This distance can be selected depending on the tensile load capacity of the relevant fastening surface.

In particular in connection with a design of the contact section not as a fastening section, it is expedient that at least one connecting strut is provided for the essentially direct connection of two contact or fastening sections offset from one another in the guide direction. The connecting strut absorbs forces acting on the contact section in particular in the guide direction and thus ensures additional stability of the holder.

If the support web runs parallel to the fastening surface, it is preferred that two fastening sections, spaced apart from one another along the guide direction with the first base distance, are provided on the first and second holders for attaching the respective holder to the fastening surface, and that the support web is arranged in the guide direction essentially in the middle between the two fastening sections. In this case, the support web can be connected to each of the two fastening sections via a pair of pressure- and tension-resistant rod elements that extend from the two ends of the support web and converge towards each other towards the respective fastening section. The rod elements of the respective holder can be arranged essentially symmetrically to a central transverse plane perpendicular to the guide direction and to a central longitudinal plane perpendicular to the deflection direction.

This holder construction is particularly designed for attachment to a horizontal fastening surface. Two fastening sections on each holder are sufficient, since the weight forces caused by objects hanging on the rope do not act on the fastening sections via a lever arm when the fastening sections are arranged appropriately, especially when, as stated, the support bar is arranged essentially in the middle between the two fastening sections in the guide direction, and thus do not cause screw pull-out forces that are increased beyond the proportional weight force. The frame-like construction ensures high mechanical stability at low manufacturing costs and a delicate, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The symmetrical structure of the frame-like construction in particular contributes to the low manufacturing costs and the positive aesthetic effect.

In this context, it is preferred that the two rod elements engaging the same end of the support web are sections of a correspondingly bent one-piece connecting

• ··· · · · · * f —&tgr; jt\ VJ-*

connecting rod, whereby preferably the two rod elements of the same connecting rod are connected to one another preferably in the region of their length center by a tension and compression stable cross strut which is parallel to the guide direction at least in projection onto the rope plane.

This makes the manufacture of the holders particularly easy, as the orientation of the rod elements relative to the support web can be easily adjusted and the number of work processes, in particular welding processes or the like for connecting to the support web, is reduced. The mechanical stability of the holders is increased by the cross braces for particularly high requirements; these cross braces also have a decorative character and give the holders a particularly aesthetically attractive appearance.

In the event that the support web runs perpendicular to the fastening surface, it is preferred that both ends of the support web are each connected to at least one fastening belt section or to at least one contact section, optionally designed as a fastening section. The end of the support web further away from the fastening surface can be connected to a fastening section on the side of the support web facing away from the other holder via a tensile and compressive stable, essentially straight rod element that runs at an angle to the fastening surface. The end of the support web closer to the fastening surface can be connected to at least one contact section, optionally designed as a fastening section, preferably to a fastening section and an contact section, optionally designed as a fastening section, essentially directly, in particular via a tensile and compressive stable, essentially straight rod element, wherein in the case of a fastening section and a contact section, the fastening section and the contact section are separated from one another in a direction to the

Guide direction perpendicular direction with a second base distance spaced.

Such a tensioning cable set is designed in particular for attachment to a vertical mounting surface. Despite its delicate appearance, sufficient mechanical stability is ensured and the manufacturing costs are extremely low, as only a small amount of material is required and only a few work processes are necessary for production.

When the tensioning cable set is attached to a vertical fastening surface with a horizontal cable plane, in the case of two fastening or support sections spaced apart by the second base distance, the support section should be arranged lower, provided that the support section is not designed as a fastening section and is accordingly attached to the fastening surface. This arrangement is useful because loading the cable with a weight force results in a secondary tensile force component acting on at least one upper fastening section and perpendicular to the fastening surface and a secondary compressive force component acting on at least the lower fastening or support section and perpendicular to the fastening surface. The size of the secondary tensile force component decreases with increasing distance of the upper fastening section from the deflection means in the vertical direction. This distance can be selected depending on the tensile load capacity of the respective fastening surface.

It is preferred that the rod elements extending from the ends of the support web closer to the fastening surface run at an angle to the fastening surface and preferably diverge in the direction of the other holder. The latter measure increases the first and second base distances so that higher cable tension forces and weight forces can be absorbed and safely diverted to the fastening surface.

In order to be able to hang heavy objects, e.g. heavy curtains or the like, on the rope, it is preferred that the distance of the rope section furthest from the fastening surface is no more than three times the second base distance. This in turn avoids or at least greatly reduces a lever effect that causes high screw pull-out forces with regard to weight forces transmitted to the holder via the rope.

It is preferred that the support web, the fastening sections, the contact sections, the rod elements, the connecting rods and the cross struts are made of round metal material. This results in particularly low manufacturing costs, since round metal material is very inexpensive and easy to process.

The tensioning elements can each engage a fastening section of the respective holder at their end facing away from the rope. This means that the tensioning force of the rope is diverted directly to the respective fastening section, so that the rod elements or connecting rods can be made correspondingly weaker. In addition to further reducing costs, this also makes it possible for the holders to have a particularly delicate appearance.

According to another aspect, the invention relates to a hanging set for hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like. The hanging set can be designed as a tension cable set and comprises at least one elongated holding element running along a guide direction in the form of a cable section or a rod, at least two holders for attachment to a fastening surface of a wall, a ceiling or the like and for holding the holding element, each comprising at least two contact or fastening sections for contacting or attaching the holder to the fastening surface, which are arranged against one another in the guide direction.

are offset, further comprising a mounting web running essentially perpendicularly or parallel to the fastening surface with a mounting recess, optionally a mounting hole, for the respective mounting element, in the case of a mounting element in the form of at least one cable section, at least one tensioning device for tensioning the cable sections essentially parallel to the guide direction between a first and a second holder of the at least two holders.

In order to provide greater variation when hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like, in particular in order to be able to combine light curtains with heavy, possibly even very heavy overcurtains and possibly also with lighting fixtures, it is proposed that the support bar has at least two spaced-apart support recesses for optionally fastening one or more rods, a single rope section or several rope sections or a selected combination of rods and rope sections, and that in the case of several rope sections at least two rope sections are part of a corresponding rope loop, with deflection on the corresponding support bar or on the tensioning device acting on this rope loop.

Depending on requirements, the hanging set can be provided with one or more rods, with one or more rope sections, possibly in combination with one or more rods. The rods are particularly useful for holding heavy or very heavy curtains, which would allow a rope to sag too much under normal tension. However, rods would be oversized for holding blinds, although rods can of course be used for this purpose, in particular for aesthetic reasons. The inventive design of at least two rope sections as part of a side loop in the case of several rope sections results in the advantages described above.

The suspension set according to the invention can have the features of the tension cable set described above. Overall, there are a wide variety of combination options that also meet unusual requirements with regard to hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like, including in terms of the aesthetic impression.

According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a hanging set for hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like, in particular in the form of a tension cable set, which comprises at least one elongated holding element in the form of a cable section or a rod running along a guide direction and at least two holders for attachment to a respective fastening surface of a wall or the like that is substantially perpendicular to the guide direction and for holding the holding element, wherein the two holders each have at least one fastening section for attaching the holder to the respective fastening surface.

In a known suspension set of this type, the holders are designed as hooks and the mounting element as a cable section, which must each be mounted individually. The disadvantages mentioned at the beginning arise if two cable sections are to run between the two fastening surfaces, which in particular are parallel to each other.

In order to provide an easy-to-use suspension set of the type mentioned, which does not have these disadvantages, it is proposed according to the invention that the respective holder has at least two fastening sections and also a mounting web running essentially parallel to the fastening surface with at least two spaced-apart mounting recesses, in particular mounting holes, for a respective mounting element, that a section of the mounting web having the mounting recesses in web

!Longitudinally between two of the at least two fastening sections and that in the case of several cable sections, at least two cable sections are part of a corresponding cable loop, with deflection on the corresponding support web.

By arranging the section of the support web that has the support recesses in the web's longitudinal direction between two of the fastening sections, it is achieved that the tensile forces exerted by a tensioned cable on the support web are diverted via two fastening sections into the wall or the like, without increased torques acting on fastening screws or the like that are assigned to the fastening sections due to a lever effect. With regard to the formation of two cable sections as a cable loop with deflection at the respective support web, the advantages stated in connection with the tensioning cable set explained above arise.

The fastening sections can each be made of round metal material with a longitudinal axis that is essentially perpendicular to the respective fastening surface and an axial bore for receiving a fastening screw or the like. The retaining webs can also each be made of round metal material with a longitudinal axis that is essentially parallel to the respective fastening surface.

In terms of production and also in terms of aesthetic effect, it is advantageous if the support web is received with a first end section in a transverse bore of a first fastening section and with a second end section in a transverse bore of a second fastening section. A separate fastening of the support web to the two fastening sections by welding or the like can be omitted, for example, if the two end sections each have a transverse bore that is essentially aligned with the axial bore of the respective fastening section.

through which the respective fastening screw or the like extends. The fastening screw then serves simultaneously to fix the respective end section in the cross hole and to fasten the holder to the respective fastening surface. In order to prevent the holder from falling apart when removed, a separate fastening can nevertheless be provided in the above-mentioned design, for example by welding the holder web to the two fastening sections.

A tensioning device for tensioning a rope section or for tensioning the rope forming the rope loop can be dispensed with if, in order to tension the at least one rope section, this is manually pre-tensioned, in particular to form the rope loop, and then secured to the two holders, with the two holders each being attached to the respective fastening surface by means of at least one fastening screw or the like. At least one of the two holders only needs to be temporarily secured with a distance between the respective fastening sections and the respective fastening surface. To set the final tension of the at least one rope section, the fastening screws are then tightened with the respective holder finally secured without a distance between the respective fastening sections and the respective fastening surface. Typically, the final tension of the rope section is set such that the rope section or the rope elongates by 1 to 1.5%.

In order to be able to bridge large spans or distances between two brackets, an intermediate bracket is proposed to supplement the aforementioned tensioning cable set or the two aforementioned suspension sets for attachment to a fastening surface between a first and a second bracket of the respective set, the fastening surface being at least partially essentially parallel to the guide direction of the respective set. The intermediate bracket

serves to support the cable stretched between the first and second holders or the at least one holding element arranged between the first and second holders and comprises at least one fastening section for attaching the holder to the fastening surface and a holding web protruding from the fastening section with at least two holding recesses, in particular holding holes for the cable or for a respective holding element.

Such an intermediate holder, which was also referred to above as a third holder, is particularly advantageous if very heavy curtains are to be hung. Sagging of a rope used for this purpose is essentially avoided by means of the intermediate holder (or possibly also by means of several intermediate holders).

The support web can run essentially perpendicular to the mounting surface. Such an intermediate bracket is particularly suitable for cases in which the cable or the support element is to run along a single wall without angles or corners.

The intermediate holder can also be designed as a corner deflection holder for a corner deflection of the cable at a corner formed between a first fastening surface section and a second fastening surface section with a corner edge that is essentially perpendicular to a guide direction assigned to one of the fastening surface sections. According to one embodiment, the corner deflection holder is designed for a corner deflection at an inner corner with an inner corner angle of less than 180°, in particular of essentially 90°. In this case, the fastening section can be an elongated fastening web that extends essentially parallel to the corner edge and that rests against the two fastening surface sections with a cylindrical surface section of an oval or circular cylindrical web section and by means of at least

a fixing screw or similar fixed in the corner edge area in the inside corner.

According to another embodiment, the corner deflection holder is designed for a corner deflection on an outside corner with an outside corner angle of greater than 180°, in particular of essentially 270°. In this case, the fastening section can rest with a first section on the first fastening surface section and with a second section on the second fastening surface section and be fastened to the outside corner by means of at least one fastening screw or the like. In this context, it is proposed that the two sections are each fastened to the respective fastening surface section with a respective fastening screw or the like, the two fastening screws being offset from one another in a direction parallel to the corner edge. The corner deflection holder is reliably secured by two fastening screws, whereby a collision of the two fastening screws when inserted into the masonry or the like is excluded due to the offset.

According to another aspect, the invention relates to a holder for a hanging set or tension cable set for hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like, comprising at least one elongated holding element in the form of a cable section or a rod running along a guide direction, for attachment to a fastening surface of a wall, a ceiling or the like and for holding the holding element, with a holding web running essentially perpendicularly or parallel to the fastening surface with a holding recess, optionally a holding hole, for the respective holding element, as well as at least two contact or fastening sections for applying or attaching the holder to the fastening surface, which are offset from one another in the guide direction.

To ensure an extremely high inherent stability of the holder, it is proposed that the holder has a lattice structure with at least one connecting strut for essentially directly connecting two system or fastening sections offset from one another in the guide direction.

The carrier according to the invention can therefore also absorb the forces transmitted to the carrier when a tensioning cable has particularly high tension forces. By moving the contact or fastening sections in the guide direction, these forces can also be reliably transmitted to the fastening surface. In the case of a contact section that is not attached to the fastening surface, this is connected to a fastening section attached to the fastening surface via the connecting strut, so that forces acting in the guide direction are transmitted to the fastening surface via the connecting strut and the fastening section. In this context, it is preferred that the one of the two contact or fastening sections connected to one another by the connecting strut that is closer to another holder belonging to the suspension set is designed as a contact section. The holder according to the invention can have the features mentioned above in connection with the tensioning cable set or with the suspension set, relating to a holder.

In addition to the tensioning cable set explained above or to the two suspension sets explained above, an attachment rod set is also proposed for the respective set. The attachment rod set comprises at least one rod and at least two rod holder heads for holding the rod, whereby the rod holder heads can each be detachably secured to a respective holder of the respective set and have at least one holder recess, in particular a holder hole, for receiving a respective section, in particular an end section, of the rod. After assembly, the rod runs essentially parallel to the guide direction. The respective rod holder head can be

Fixing to the support web of the respective holder can be provided. For this purpose, the support web of the respective holder can have a threaded hole on one support web end that extends in the longitudinal direction of the support web, in particular in the deflection direction, by means of which threaded hole the respective rod support head can be fixed to the support web end. Simple assembly is particularly achieved if the respective rod support head has a slip-on sleeve for slipping the rod support head onto a respective connecting bolt screwed into the threaded hole.

The rod holder head can be designed for a normal holder (first or second holder) or for an intermediate holder (third holder). In the case of a rod holder head for an intermediate holder, the rod holder head can have a first holder recess for holding a first rod end of a first rod and a second holder recess for holding a second rod end of a second rod. If the rods are to run along a wall without corners or angles, the first and second holder recesses can be designed for a coaxial arrangement with respect to a respective rod longitudinal axis of the first and second rods. If the rods are to run along a wall with corners or angles or along two walls arranged at a corner or the like, the first and second mounting recesses can be designed in such a way that, with respect to a respective longitudinal axis of the first and second rods, the two rods intersect in extension at an angle of less than 180°, in particular at substantially 90°. Depending on whether it is an inside or outside corner, the mounting web and the first or second rod can intersect in extension at an angle of less than 90°, in particular at substantially 45°, or at an angle of greater than 90°, in particular at substantially 135°, with respect to the respective longitudinal axis of the mounting web.

The proposed attachment rod set in combination with the tension cable or hanging set according to the invention results in an extraordinarily wide range of possible variations when hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like. The rods can be used in particular for hanging particularly heavy curtains, while lighter blinds and lighting fixtures are suspended from tension cable sections. It is particularly advantageous that the rods can also be retrofitted using the attachment rod set if, for example, the desire for curtains only arises at a later date. Even without the purpose of hanging curtains, the rods can be provided purely for aesthetic reasons.

With the components of the tension cable set explained above or the two suggested hanging sets, all conceivable requirements for hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like, whether aesthetic or practical, can be met, if necessary with the optional use of the above-mentioned holders and intermediate holders, in particular corner deflection holders, and if desired the above-mentioned attachment rod set. The various components can be combined in kit form, so that, for example, at least all rooms with the usual cut-outs can be provided with cable sections or rods all around.

The invention is explained below with reference to the drawings using exemplary embodiments.

Figures 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a tensioning cable set 10. The tensioning cable set 10 comprises a first holder 12a and a second holder 12b, which are fastened by screws 14 to a horizontal fastening surface H of a ceiling or the like (shown in section in Figure 1). The two holders 12a and 12b are aligned with one another and a cable 16 is stretched between them parallel to a guide direction F. The cable 16, in the described embodiment designed as a metal wire cable, runs back and forth three times between the two holders 12a and 12b to form a cable loop made up of three cable sections 16a, 16b and 16c running between the two holders. These rope sections are parallel to each other and run (without taking into account any sagging) in a rope plane defined by the guide direction F and by a deflection direction U perpendicular to the guide direction F and parallel to the fastening surface H.

The two holders 12a and 12b are each constructed essentially identically and each comprise a fastening section 18a or 18b and a contact section 20a or 20b designed as a fastening section and also referred to as a fastening section in connection with the embodiments of Figures 1 to 7. The two fastening sections 18a or 18b and 20a or 20b are spaced apart from one another along the guide direction F by a (first) base distance B ₁ and consist of round metallic material. The fastening sections are designed like circular disks and are provided with a bore 24 for receiving the screws 14 (in Figure 2 only the bores and not the screws are shown).

in Figures 1 and 3 the holes are indicated by dashed lines).

The first and second holders 12a and 12b each further comprise a support web 30a and 30b made of round metallic material, which is held at a distance A from the fastening sections or the fastening surface A by connecting rods 32a and 34a or 32b and 34b made of round metallic material, which are bent essentially in a V-shape in a side view according to Figure 1. The distance A is smaller than the base distances B ₁ .

The connecting rods 32a, b and 34a, b each have two straight, tensile and compressive-stable rod elements 3 6 and 37 or 3 8 and 3 9 (a or b) of the same length, which each run towards the fastening section 18a, b or 20a, b with the rod elements 3 6 and 3 8 or 37 and 3 9 (a or b) moving closer together. The connecting rods each have two end sections parallel to the guide direction F, which are inserted into a corresponding hole on the respective fastening section and welded in place. The rod elements of the same connecting rod are connected to one another in the region of their middle length by a cross strut 40a, b or 41a, b, which is curved towards the fastening surface H and otherwise extends along the guide direction F and is also made of round metal material and is resistant to tension and compression. The ends of the respective cross brace are welded to the respective connecting rod.

The support webs 3 0a and 3 0b have a groove on their upper side facing the fastening surface H at both ends, into which a middle section of the connecting rod 32a or 34a or 32b or 34b, parallel to the guide direction F, engages and is welded to the support web. In the guide direction F, the respective support web 3 0a or 3 0b is between the two fastening sections.

sections 18a, 20a and 18b, 20b respectively, in the embodiment shown exactly in the middle.

The two support webs 30a and 30b of the first holder 12a and the second holder 12b are designed to be complementary to one another and have parallel support recesses in the form of holes arranged one behind the other in the deflection direction U, each of which extends parallel to the guide direction F. In the embodiment shown, three holes 42, 43, 44 (a and b) are provided, each of which is indicated by dashed lines in Figure 2.

A clamping device 50a or 50b consisting of a clamping sleeve 52a or 52b with two opposing internal threads and two threaded rods 53a, 54a or 53b, 54b, which engage in the clamping sleeve 52a or 52b with an external thread corresponding to the respective internal thread, is fastened to the respective outer fastening section 18a or 18b of the first holder 12a or the second holder 12b, which is arranged on the side of the respective support web facing away from the other holder. The components of the clamping devices are also made of round metal material. The threaded pin 54a or 54b of the respective clamping device facing the fastening section 18a or 18b is welded to the fastening section. The clamping device 50a or 50b is oriented in the direction of the support web 30a or 30b and the threaded pin 53a or 53b has a hook 56a or 56b at its end facing away from the clamping sleeve 52a or 52b. By turning the clamping sleeve 52a or 52b, the distance of the hook 56a or 56b from the support web 30a or 30b can be changed.

The following will now discuss the course of the cable 16 in more detail. Starting from the cable end adjacent to the cable section 16a, the cable 16 runs through the hole 42b on the support web 30b of the second holder 12b and is connected to the cable end by means of an end bolt 17b arranged at the cable end.

larger diameter than the bore 42b is fixed to the support web 30b in a tension-resistant manner. The end bolt 17b can be firmly connected to the cable 16 or attached to the cable by means of a clamp screw connection.

Following the hole 42b, the cable runs with its cable section 16a parallel to the guide direction to the hole 42a of the support web 3 0a of the first holder 12a, passes through this hole and is deflected at the end of the hole 42a facing away from the cable section 16a in the direction of the hook 56a on the threaded pin 53a of the tensioning device 50a. The cable engages in this hook and is deflected from here by the hook in the direction of the hole 44a of the same support web 3 0a. At the end of the hole 44a facing away from the cable section 16b, the cable is again deflected in a direction parallel to the guide direction F, the cable passes through the hole 44a and runs with its section 16b towards the hole 44b in the support web 3 0b of the second holder. The rope passes through this hole and is deflected at the end of the hole facing away from the rope section 16b in the direction of the hook 56b of the threaded pin 43b of the tensioning device 50b. The rope engages in this hook and is deflected again by the hook; this time in the direction of the hole 43b in the same support web 30b. At the end of this hole facing the tensioning device 50b, the rope is again deflected in a direction parallel to the guide direction F; the rope runs through the hole 43b and then with its section 16c towards the hole 53a in the support web 30a of the first holder 12a and through this hole and is secured to the support web 30a in a tension-resistant manner by an end bolt 17a on the side of this hole facing away from the rope section 16c. The end bolt 17a can in turn be firmly connected to the relevant rope end or be fastened by means of a clamp screw connection.

By adjusting the tensioning devices 50a and 50b accordingly, the cable with its cable sections 16a, 16b, 16c is taut between the two holders 12a and 12b. The forces required to tension the cable are largely applied by the tensioning devices 50a and 50b, which act directly on the fastening section 18a or 18b, and thus transfer the forces to the fastening surface H via the respective fastening section and the respective screw 14. The fastening section 18a or 18b and thus the respective screw 14 are therefore primarily subjected to tensile stress, while the fastening section 20a or 20b is subjected to compression via the rod element 36a or 36b due to the deflection of the cable on the support web 30a or 30b. To be more precise, the fastening section 18a or 18b is loaded with a transverse force component parallel to the guide direction F and directed towards the other holder, as well as with a tensile force component perpendicular to the fastening surface H, while the fastening section 20a or 20b is also loaded with a transverse force component parallel to the guide direction F in the direction of the other holder, as well as with a compressive force component perpendicular to the fastening surface H.

Due to the dimensioning (base distance B ₁ greater than distance A of the support webs from the fastening surface H) and the arrangement of the support webs relative to the fastening sections, the clamping device 50a or 50b is inclined relatively strongly with respect to a direction perpendicular to the fastening surface H, so that the tensile force component transmitted to the fastening section 18a or 18b by the clamping device 50a or 50b perpendicular to the fastening surface H is reduced.

Since the distance A is smaller than the base distance B ₁ , there is no lever effect with regard to the forces transmitted from the cable 16 to the support web 3 0a or 3 0b, which could cause increased screw extraction forces at the fastening section 18a or 18b. Thus, a force F ₁ acting on the support web 3 0a parallel to the guide direction F has only a

• · l !·· II *..* I w II

This results in a screw extraction force F ₂ on the screw 14 in the fastening section 18a, which is reduced in magnitude compared to F ₁ in accordance with the geometric arrangement, in particular depending on the effective lever arm lengths. At the fastening section 20a, the force F ₁ results in an oppositely directed compressive force.

A second embodiment of a tensioning cable assembly according to the invention is explained below with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Components of the second embodiment, which correspond in their function to those of the first embodiment according to Figures 1 to 3, are provided with the same reference numbers, but each increased by the number 100. Only the differences between the two embodiments are discussed below, and otherwise explicit reference is made to the preceding description of the first embodiment.

The cable 116 runs with its cable sections 116a, 116b and 116c parallel to the guide direction F' in a horizontal cable plane (without taking into account any sagging of the cable sections). The cable plane defined by the guide direction F' and a deflection direction U' perpendicular to the guide direction F' is perpendicular to a vertical fastening surface V of a wall or the like. The first holder 112a and the second holder 112b are each fastened to the fastening surface V by three fastening sections 118a, 120a 122a and 118b, 120b, 122b respectively using screws 114.

The fastening sections 120a and 122a or 120b and 122b are offset in the direction of the other holder in order to increase the first base distance B' ₁ relative to the support web 13 0a or 13 0b and are each connected to the fastening surface-side end of the respective support web 13 0a or 13 0b by a tensile and compressive-resistant rod element 136a or 138a or 136b or 138b. The first base distance βλ is the distance in the guide direction between these two respective

gen fastening sections 120a and 122a or 120b and 122b and the respective third fastening section 118a or 118b. This fastening section 118a or 118b, which is arranged on the side of the respective support web 130a or 130b facing away from the cable sections 116a, 116b and 116c, is connected by a further pressure and tension stable rod element 139a or 139b to the end of the respective support web 130a or 130b facing away from the fastening surface V.

A clamping device 150a or 150b consisting of a clamping sleeve 152a or 152b and two corresponding threaded pins 153a and 154a or 153b and 154b is provided on the first holder 112a and the second holder 112b. The respective clamping device is fastened to the fastening section 118a or 118b with the threaded pin 154a or 154b facing away from the respective support web 130a or 130b. The threaded pin 153a or 153b facing the support web 13 0a or 13 0b in turn has a hook 156a or 156b, which redirects the cable after deflection through the hole 142a in the support web 13 0a to the hole 144a in this support web or after deflection through the hole 144b in the support web 13 0b to the hole 143b in this support web 13 0b.

The rope guide and the rope fastening are the same as in the first embodiment; the only difference is that in the embodiment of Figures 4 and 5 the entire rope, i.e. also the sections of the rope on which the tensioning device 150a or 150b engages, are arranged in the rope plane, while in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3 these rope sections on which the tensioning device 50a or 50b engages are inclined relative to the rope plane (see Figure D ·

The two fastening sections 12 0a and 122a or 12 0b and 122b arranged in the area of the cable sections 116a, 116b and 116c have a distance B' ₂ in a direction perpendicular to the cable plane, referred to below as the second base distance. The

Distance A' of the cable section 116a furthest from the fastening surface is smaller than the first base distance B' _λ and smaller than twice the second base distance B' ₂ . Both with regard to the forces caused by the tension of the cable 116 in a direction parallel to the guide direction F and with regard to downward forces acting on the support webs 13 0a and 13 0b perpendicular to the cable plane, caused by the weight of objects suspended from the cable sections, favorable force transmission conditions result on the fastening sections 118a, 120a and 122a or 118b, 120b and 122b. In particular, a strong increase due to a lever effect of the screw extraction forces acting on the fastening sections 118a and 120a or 118b and 120b is avoided.

The two embodiments described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 4 and 5 are intended in particular for hanging curtains. The cable section 16b or 116b can accommodate blinds, while a curtain could be hung on the cable sections 16a and 16c or 116a and 116c, which could be drawn in front of the blinds while completely covering them. Of course, the area spanned by the cable sections 16a, 16b and 16c or 116a, 116b and 116c in the guide direction F or F' can be much larger than shown in the figures. In this context, it is conceivable to support the cable sections between the first and second holders 12a and 12b or 112a and 112b by a third holder, hereinafter also referred to as an intermediate holder, in order to prevent sagging due to weight forces.

Deviating from the embodiments described in Figures 1 to 5, the rope ends do not need to be fixed directly to the support web 30 or 130 by means of a respective end bolt 17 or 117. Alternatively, the rope can be provided with a loop at its end, if necessary using a clamping element or the like, and can be hooked into the hook 56 or 156 with this loop. In a

Ooo

If there is an even number of rope sections belonging to a rope, the two rope ends can also be connected to one another by means of a sexl section end connector, e.g. in the form of a clamping element, to form an endless rope loop.

The embodiments shown in the figures can be easily modified for use in connection with lighting fixtures, in particular low-voltage halogen lamps. If the lighting fixtures are to be supplied with voltage via cable sections stretched between the holders, at least two electrically conductive cable sections, hereinafter referred to as supply cable sections, must be electrically insulated from one another.

The cable or the feed cable sections can be insulated from the first and second holders using insulation bushings 270 made of plastic or the like. Figure 6 shows an insulation bushing 270 suitable for this purpose, which is rotationally symmetrical with respect to its longitudinal axis. The insulation bushing has a flange 272 and is to be inserted into the respective hole in the holder web with the side facing away from the flange from the side remote from the other holder into the respective hole in the holder web. The flange 272 then prevents the insulation bushing 270 from slipping through, so that the cable or the relevant cable section shown in dashed lines is reliably insulated from the holder web. Furthermore, an insulating ring or the like can be provided on the hook 56a or 56b or 156a or 156b in order to prevent an electrical connection with the fastening section 18a or 18b or 118a or 118b via the respective clamping element.

Two supply cable sections that are electrically insulated from each other can be realized by two separate cable pieces that are connected to form a cable by means of an insulating cable section end connector. An example of an insulating cable section end connector 280 is shown in Figure 7. The insulating cable section

The cut end connector is essentially designed as a bushing with two side openings 282 and 284 arranged on different sides of the bushing. Two feed cable sections 216a and 216b, indicated by dashed lines, run through a respective end section of the axial bore 286 of the bushing and through the respective side opening 282 and 284 and are fixed in a tension-resistant manner to the side of this opening by a respective end bolt 217c and 217d.

The rope or the feed rope sections can also have an insulating sheath, for example made of transparent plastic. In this case, special measures for insulating the rope or the feed rope sections from the first and second holders can be dispensed with; insulating bushings can therefore be dispensed with. Two pieces of rope insulated in this way can then be connected to form one rope using a simple clamp or the like, with the two pieces of rope only coming into contact with each other via the two insulating sheaths.

Two embodiments of a suspension set according to the invention are now explained in more detail with reference to Figures 8 and 9. Components of these suspension sets, which correspond in function to those of the tensioning cable sets described above according to Figures 1 to 7, are provided with the same reference numbers except for the hundreds place used to distinguish the embodiments. The same applies to the embodiment variants of a holder according to the invention for a tensioning cable set or suspension set according to the invention, which are subsequently described with reference to Figures 10 and 11. Only the differences between the embodiments are discussed in each case, and otherwise explicit reference is made to the preceding description of the other embodiments.

The embodiment of a suspension set shown in Figure 8 corresponds in its basic construction in particular to the holder of the tensioning cable set shown in Figures 1 and 2. The support web 330a or 330b of the holder 312a or 312b has support recesses in the form of holes. Of the holes, only one is designated 342a or 342b.

Five holes are provided on each support web. Two of these holes, which are provided in a central area of the support web 330a or 330b, are used to guide and deflect a cable 316 with the two cable sections 316a and 316b that form a cable loop and are parallel to one another. The cable sections are designed as supply cable sections and are connected to one another to form the cable 316 by means of an insulating cable section end connector 380. The supply cable sections are used to supply voltage to one or more lighting fixtures (not shown), in particular in the form of low-voltage halogen lamps. The supply cable sections are insulated from the respective support web 330a or 330b and thus from the respective holder 312a or 312b by insulating bushings 370 that are accommodated in the holes and cannot be seen in detail in the figure. Furthermore, an insulating ring is provided on the hook of the tensioning device (tension sleeve 352b) on the holder 312b (not shown), so that the feed cable sections are completely insulated from the holders. End bolts 317 are provided to secure the two ends of the cable 316 to the support web 330a, which also do not establish an electrical connection to the support web 330a due to a corresponding design of the insulating bushings 370 with a flange (see Figure 6). The cable 316 is tensioned by the tensioning device (tension sleeve 352b) provided on the holder 312b.

Using two holes in the support web 330a and one hole in the support web 330b, a second cable 317 is guided in a cable section between the two holders 312a and 312b. It extends (without taking into account a

«* i I.·

possible sagging) parallel to the feed cable sections 316a and 316b and is tensioned by the tensioning device on the holder 312a (tension sleeve 3 52a), whereby it is fixed by a respective end bolt 317 with its ends on the support web 33 0a or 33 0b. This cable 317 is used, for example, for hanging blinds and therefore does not need to be electrically insulated from the holders.

In addition, a support element in the form of a rod 390 is arranged between the two holders. The rod 390 extends parallel to the feed rope sections 316a and 316b and parallel to the rope 317 and is fastened at both ends to the support web 330a of the holder 312a or to the support web 330b of the holder 312b by screws 391a or 391b. The screws are guided through the bore 342a or 342b and engage with their external thread section in a corresponding axial bore provided with an internal thread in the rod 390 at the respective rod end. The rod 390 is used to hang heavy curtains that would cause a rope to sag to a greater extent even with a relatively high rope tension. Although this would not affect the functionality of the hanging set, for aesthetic reasons a rod is preferred as a mounting element for such purposes.

The suspension set shown in Figure 8 is attached to a horizontal mounting surface and the cable sections 316a and 316b, the cable 317 and the rod 390 extend in a plane parallel to the mounting surface. A decorative button 392a with a threaded pin extension is screwed into an axial bore with an internal thread on the respective mounting web 330a or 330b for aesthetic purposes.

Figure 9 shows an embodiment of the suspension set according to the invention, which is attached to a vertical fastening surface. As in the embodiment shown in Figure 8, a rope 416 with two feed sections 416a

and 416b, a further cable 417 and a rod 490 are provided. The cable sections 41Sa and 416b, the cable 417 and the rod 490 extend in this embodiment in a plane perpendicular to the fastening surface. In contrast to the embodiment shown in Figure 8, the left end of the cable 417 is not fixed to the support web 430a by an end bolt. Instead, a cable loop is formed by means of a clamp connector, into which the hook of the tensioning device on the holder 412a (tension sleeve 452a) engages. Otherwise, the suspension set of Figure 9 corresponds essentially to the embodiment of Figure 8 with regard to the guidance and fastening of the cables and the rod.

Instead of fastening screws for fastening the rod 490, the rod in the embodiment of Figure 9 has threaded pins 491a or 491b at its ends, which pass through the hole 442a or 442b in the support web 430a or 430b and are secured by means of a respective nut. The threaded pins can be formed as one piece with the threaded rod 490 or can be screwed into a respective axial hole with an internal thread in the rod 490 at the respective rod end. Otherwise, the suspension set shown in Figure 1 corresponds in its basic construction, in particular the holder, essentially to the tensioning cable set shown in Figures 4 and 5.

In a suspension set according to the invention, the possible variations are in principle only limited by the number of mounting recesses, in particular holes, provided on the respective mounting bar of the respective holder. For example, one can dispense with ropes entirely and only provide rods as mounting elements. In the same way, if, for example, one does not want to hang lighting fixtures, only one rope, possibly guided in several rope sections between the holders, can be provided together with one or more rods. The rods are also preferably made of round metal material.

It is also possible to make the rods non-round, with a downward-facing, inward-expanding longitudinal recess to accommodate curtain rods. In this case, the respective rod takes on the function of a curtain rail.

Figures 10 and 11 now show variants of holders according to the invention for a tensioning cable set according to the invention or for a suspension set according to the invention. Only one holder of the set in question is shown with indicated cable sections; the other holder, not shown, is designed accordingly; the cable guide on the other holder, not shown, is inevitable.

The holder 512 shown in Figure 10 corresponds in its basic structure largely to the holders shown in Figures 4 and 5 and in Figure 9. In the holder shown, the contact sections 520 and 522 are each provided with a hole 524 and are accordingly designed as a fastening section; however, they only rest on the fastening surface V without being fastened by a screw or the like. The contact sections 522 and 524 are therefore not referred to as fastening sections in the following. It may be necessary to forego fastening the contact sections in particular if the wall or the like to which the tensioning cable set or the suspension set is to be attached has a roller shutter box or the like. In Figure 10b, a roller shutter box 593 is indicated by dashed lines.

In order to obtain an increased stability and rigidity of the respective holder, especially in cases where the contact sections are not attached to the attachment surface, the two contact sections 520 and 522 are each directly connected via a tension and pressure stable connecting strut 594 and 595 to the attachment section 518 attached to the attachment surface V by means of a screw 540. As can be clearly seen in Figure 10b in particular, the connections form

• t · · t

The support struts 594 and 595, the rod element 539 and the support web 530 together with the rod element 536 and 538 rigidly attached to the support web form a lattice structure with high rigidity and stability.

It should be noted that the other components of the holder are also rigidly connected to one another. The rod element 53 9 is therefore rigidly attached to the support web 530 and to the fastening section 518, the connecting struts 594 and 595 are rigidly attached to the fastening section 518 and to the respective contact section 520 or 522 and the rod elements 536 and 53 8 are rigidly attached to the respective contact section 520 or 522 at their end facing away from the support web 53 0. Overall, the holder has a very high inherent rigidity and stability. In the embodiments of the tensioning cable set or the suspension set explained in connection with Figures 1 to 9, a correspondingly high level of stability only results after the fastening sections and the contact sections are attached to the respective fastening surface; the connection between the fastening or support sections (in the embodiments of Figures 10 and 11) created by the connecting struts 594 and 595 is essentially only created via the fastening surface.

Otherwise, it should be noted with regard to the embodiment of Figure 10 that an axial end bore 596 is again provided on the support web 530 to accommodate a corresponding decorative button. The cable 516 is, as indicated, guided in four parallel cable sections 516a, 516b, 516c and 516d between the holder 512 shown and a corresponding other holder not shown. The two cable ends of the cable 516 are connected to one another by a cable section end connector 597 to form a closed cable loop, i.e. an endless cable loop. The endless cable loop is deflected twice on both sides on the hook of the respective tensioning device (tensioning sleeve 552); the tensioning device therefore engages two partial loops of the endless cable loop.

The embodiment of a holder according to the invention shown in Figure 11 differs from the embodiment shown in Figure 10 in that only one support element 62 0 is provided, which is attached directly to the support web 63 0, i.e. without an intermediate rod element. The support element 62 0 is connected to the fastening element 618 via two connecting struts 694 and 695 extending parallel to one another. A framework structure with extremely high inherent stability and rigidity is again formed. The cable 616 is guided here with only two cable sections 616a and 616b between the holder 612 shown and a corresponding holder, not shown, with the ends of the cable 616 again being connected to one another by means of a cable section end connector 697 to form an endless cable loop.

Figure 12 shows a further embodiment of a suspension set according to the invention in the form of a tensioning cable set. Components of this suspension set, which correspond in their function to those of the tensioning cable sets or suspension sets described above in Figures 1 to 11, are provided with the same reference numbers, except for the hundredth place used to distinguish the embodiments. Only the differences between the embodiments are discussed in each case and reference is expressly made to the preceding description of the other embodiments. (The same also applies to the suspension set in Figure 13 and the other embodiments described below).

The suspension set or tensioning cable set of Figure 12 comprises two holders 712a and 712b, which are each attached to a vertical fastening surface V _a or V _b using screws 714. The two fastening surfaces V _a and V _b are essentially parallel to each other and lie opposite each other. For example, they can be two opposite side walls of a room, or a window opening.

The guiding direction F'' runs essentially perpendicular to the two fastening surfaces V _a and V _b , while the deflection direction U'', which is essentially perpendicular to the guiding direction F'', runs parallel to the two fastening surfaces. The cable 716, which runs parallel to the guiding direction F'' in two mutually parallel side sections 716a and 716b, is accordingly arranged (without taking into account any sagging of the side sections) in a horizontal side plane spanned by the guiding direction F'' and the deflection direction U''.

The two holders 712a and 712b each have two fastening sections 718a and 720a or 718b and 720b. The fastening sections are made of round metal material and rest against the respective fastening surface with a flat axial end surface. Each fastening section is assigned a screw which extends through an axial bore of the respective fastening section and is screwed into a dowel or the like (not shown) in the masonry or the like delimited by the fastening surface. The two fastening sections each have a transverse bore into which a support web 73 0a or 73 0b, also made of round metal material, is received with a respective end section. A central section of the support web 730 (a or b) arranged between the two fastening sections 718 and 720 (a or b) takes up the largest part of the longitudinal dimension of the support web. This central section of the support web has five support holes, only one of which is designated 742a or 742b. These support holes serve, as in the previously described embodiments, to deflect the cable, but can also be designed to hold a rod if desired. The support holes run essentially parallel to the guide direction F''.

• ··· ■ » t · · in I- #V ^^

In addition to the aforementioned mounting holes, the mounting bars also have a cross hole in each of the two end areas for passing through the respective fastening screw 714. When the holder is mounted, this cross hole is aligned with the axial hole of the respective fastening section 718 or 720. The fastening screws 714 therefore serve not only to fasten the respective holder to the respective fastening surface, but also to hold the holder together with its three main components: the mounting web 73 0, the first fastening section 718" and the second fastening section 720. Separate measures for fastening the two end sections of the mounting web in the respective cross hole of the respective fastening section are therefore not necessary, but are nevertheless conceivable in order to prevent the holder from falling apart when dismantled. For example, the end sections could be held in the respective cross hole of the fastening section by a grub screw connection, or they could also be welded in place.

In the example shown in Figure 12, the ends of the support web protrude laterally beyond the respective fastening section; the cross hole of the respective fastening section is therefore a through hole. However, it is also conceivable to design the cross hole as a blind hole, i.e. not through, so that the two ends of the support web do not protrude from the respective fastening section.

As in the embodiments of Figures 8 to 11, the support web has at one axial end an axial threaded bore 796 into which a decorative button or the like can be screwed.

The rope is attached differently in the suspension set of Figure 12 than in the previously described embodiments. The two rope ends of the rope 71S are in the fastening

ing section 718a into the next adjacent mounting hole of the mounting web 73 0a and is clamped there using a clamping screw (not shown). Figure 12a shows a threaded hole 701 which runs perpendicular to the relevant mounting hole and meets it, but does not pass through the mounting web 73 0a.

A tensioning device is not provided for the suspension set in Figure 12. However, tensioning the cable is still easy. To do this, both brackets must be attached to the respective fastening surface, with at least one of the brackets 712a and 712b only temporarily attached to the respective fastening surface so that there is still a gap between the contact surfaces of the fastening sections and the respective fastening surface. The screws 714 are therefore not yet fully tightened, they are only screwed in far enough so that the bracket is held securely to the fastening surface. Now the cable is guided back and forth between the two brackets in the desired manner, manually tensioned and attached to one or both brackets depending on the cable guide. Now only the fastening screws need to be tightened so that there is no longer any gap between the fastening surface and the contact surfaces of the fastening sections. The distance between the brackets therefore increases, which creates the required cable tension. In general, a rope tension of this kind is sufficient, which results from an extension of the rope by stretching it by 1 to 1.5%. Accordingly, during temporary fastening, the distances between the contact surfaces of the fastening sections and the fastening surface(s) must be selected in such a way that tightening the fastening screws 714 also results in an increase in the distance between the holders in the order of 1 to 1.5%.

For special cases, e.g. for hanging particularly heavy curtains, much greater cable tensions can be set. Due to the mounting of the support bar

by means of two fastening sections 718 and 72 0 (a and b respectively) at the two axial ends of the support web 730 (a and b respectively), a lever effect causing increased screw extraction forces is avoided.

Figure 13 shows a further embodiment of a suspension set according to the invention, which is designed as a tensioning cable set. With regard to the cable guide of the cable and the two holders 812a and 812b, each of which has a tensioning device, the example in Figure 13 does not differ from the previously described embodiment according to Figure 11; with regard to the design of the holder 812b, reference is also made to the embodiment in Figures 4 and 5. The tensioning cable set also comprises a third holder 813 arranged between the first holder 812a and the second holder 812b, which is therefore expediently referred to below as an intermediate holder. The first and second holders could accordingly also be referred to as end holders. The intermediate holder is of simple construction and consists of a fastening section 819 and a mounting web 831, which has mounting holes for guiding the cable through. The holes can also be used to hold a rod, similar to the embodiments in Figures 8 and 9. With regard to the detailed structure of the intermediate holder, reference is also made to Figure 14, in which an intermediate holder 913 with a holding web 931 and a fastening section 919 is shown, which is basically constructed in the same way. The fastening section 919 has two holes 924 on the side of the holding web 931, which are used to fasten the intermediate holder to the vertical fastening surface using two screws 914. In contrast to the intermediate holder in Figure 13, the intermediate holder in Figure 14 has four instead of three holding holes, one of which is designated 942. The intermediate holder in Figure 13 is also fastened to a vertical fastening surface using corresponding fastening screws (not shown).

The intermediate bracket 813 or 913 makes it possible to span large spans without the rope sagging too much, especially with heavy curtains. The first and second brackets (end brackets) are therefore relieved of the weight of the curtain or the like. Of course, several intermediate brackets can also be attached to the fastening surface between the two end brackets with corresponding multiple support of the rope sections. In the embodiments shown, the rope sections can in principle move freely in the guide direction through the mounting holes of the intermediate bracket; no force is therefore transferred from the rope to the intermediate bracket in the guide direction. The intermediate bracket is only loaded in the direction perpendicular to the guide direction and, as long as the mounting recesses of the intermediate bracket and the two end brackets are arranged coaxially to one another, only in the downward direction due to the weight of the rope or an object hanging on the rope.

The suspension set in Figure 13 also has two rods 890a and 890b, which belong to a retrofittable additional rod set. The additional rod set comprises the two rods, one rod support head 802a and 802b for each of the two end brackets 812a and 812b, and one rod support head 802c for the intermediate bracket 813. The rod support heads are attached by means of the axial threaded hole 896 on the support web of the respective end bracket or a corresponding axial threaded hole 896 on the support web of the intermediate bracket, instead of a decorative button. For the more precise structure of the rod support heads and the type of attachment to the respective support web, please refer to Figures 14 and 15. A connecting bolt 903 or 1003 is used to fasten the rod holder heads to the respective holder web of the respective holder, which is screwed into the respective axial threaded hole 996 by means of a screw thread section 903a or 1003a instead of a decorative button. The rod holder heads 902c, 1002c or 1002a, b each have

: &Ggr;

a slip-on sleeve 904c, 1004c or 1004a, b, which is pushed onto a circular cylindrical section 903b or 1003b of the connecting bolt 903 or 1003 and is fixed to the connecting bolt by means of a grub screw connection (threaded hole 1005 on the slip-on sleeve).

To hold the rods 890a, 890b or 990a, 990b, the rod holder heads 802a, b or 1002a, b have a holder recess 1006 for an end holder, which in the example described is formed in a pipe receiving sleeve section 807a, b or 1007a, b of the rod holder head and serves to hold a rod end. The holder recess can also be designed in particular as a holder bore. In the embodiment shown, the holder recess is open on both sides, so that the rod, in deviation from the arrangement shown in Figure 13, can pass through the respective holder recess and thus protrude laterally from the respective holder web on the side facing away from the intermediate holder. This protruding section of the respective rod can, for example, protrude so far that an overcurtain section attached thereto essentially covers the respective end holder 812a or 812b.

The rod support head 802c, 902c or 1002c for an intermediate holder is essentially constructed in the same way, but it has two support recesses 906 _x and 906 ₂ or 1000 ₁ or 1006 ₂ each for receiving a rod end of a first or a second rod (890a and 890b or 990a and 990b). In the intermediate holder rod support head 802c, 902c or 1002c, the two support recesses can also be understood as two sections of a single, continuous support recess 906 or 1006. Instead of the two rods 890a and 890b or 990a and 990b shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14a, a single, continuous rod of corresponding length can also be used. To fix the one or both rods in the pipe receiving sleeve section 807c, 907c or 1007c of the rod holder head for an intermediate

-«- 2b Lo - ^: ::b

Two grub screw connections 1005 on the pipe receiving sleeve section serve as a holder, of which only the respective threaded hole is shown. The pipe receiving sleeve section 807a, b or 1007a, b for an end holder has a corresponding grub screw connection 1005 for securing the rod end received in the pipe receiving sleeve section.

The intermediate holder 813 of the suspension set of Figure 13 serves, as stated, solely to support the cable 816 and, by means of the rod holder head 802c, to hold the two rods 890a and 890b. The holder recesses of the holder web 831, as well as the holder recesses of the rod holder heads 802a, 802b and 802σ, therefore run parallel to a single guide direction F'''. The cable sections of the cable 816 and the rods 890a and 890b correspondingly also run parallel to this guide direction F'''.

Guiding the rope or the rods around corners, e.g. in the corner of a room, is not easily possible with the components shown in Figures 13 to 15. The intermediate brackets and rod holder heads shown in Figures 16 to 18 are intended for such a purpose.

Figure 16 shows an intermediate holder 1113 which is designed as a corner deflection holder for an outside corner with an outside corner angle (this is the masonry-free angle range between the first and second fastening surface V ₁ or V ₂ in a horizontal cutting plane) of 270°. The corner deflection holder 1113 has a mounting web 1131 like the intermediate holder 913 of Figure 14, which is therefore also provided with mounting recesses. In a corner deflection holder, the mounting recesses or the mounting web serve not only to support the cable, but also to deflect the cable from a first guide direction F ₁ to a second guide direction F ₂ . The two guide directions each run parallel to a fastening surface section V ₁ or V ₂ .

The intermediate holder 1113 has a fastening section 1119 with two subsections 111S ₁ and 1119 ₂ , which each rest on the fastening surface V ₁ or V ₂ and are anchored by means of a respective fastening screw 1114 in the masonry or the like beyond the respective fastening surface. As can be seen in Figure 16b, the two subsections each have a hole 1124 for the respective fastening screw, the two holes being offset from one another in the vertical direction (i.e. in a direction parallel to a corner edge of the outer corner and thus in a direction perpendicular to the cable plane). This reliably prevents the two screws from colliding with one another within the masonry or the like, regardless of the length of the fastening screws used.

Of course, the corner deflection holder can also be designed for larger or smaller external corner angles instead of an external corner angle of 270°. For this purpose, the mounting section 1119 only needs to be designed with a different angle between the two sections 1119 _a and 1119 ₂ . In order to be able to use the corner deflection holder at least for a certain external corner angle range, it is also conceivable to design the fastening section 1119 to be bendable to a certain extent.

In order to provide rods parallel to the fastening surfaces V ₁ and V ₂ in addition to the corresponding cable sections in a corner deflection on an outside corner using the corner deflection holder 1113, the intermediate holder or corner deflection holder 1113 can be equipped with a rod holder head 1102c, which can be fastened to the support web 1131 in the same way as the intermediate holder in Figure 14a by means of a connecting bolt and a slip-on sleeve 1104c. The rod holder head 1102c has a pipe receiving sleeve section 1107c with two support recesses HOS ₁ and 1106 ₂ , which extend parallel to the guide direction F ₁ and F ₂ , respectively, when the rod holder head 1102c is mounted. Accordingly, the support recesses 110O ₁ and

1106 ₂ each pick up and hold one rod end"· of a rod running parallel to the first fastening surface V ₁ or to the second fastening surface V ₂ .

The corner deflection holder or intermediate holder 1213 shown in Figure 17 is used for corner deflection on an inner corner with a (masonry-free) inner corner angle of less than 180°, in the example shown 90°. With regard to the design of the support web 1231, the corner deflection holder 1213 of Figure 17 does not differ from the corner deflection holder 1113 of Figure 16. The cable 1216 runs in the area of the fastening surface section V ₁ parallel to this fastening surface and thus parallel to the guide direction W ₁ and is then deflected by 90° by the corner deflection holder 1213 so that it then runs parallel to the fastening surface section V ₂ and thus parallel to the guide direction W ₂ .

The fastening section 1219 in the corner deflection holder for an inner corner according to the example shown is designed as a fastening web which extends essentially parallel to a corner edge of the inner corner, i.e. in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the cable plane). The fastening web 1219 has a contact surface 1208 which rests on the first fastening surface V ₁ and the second fastening surface V ₂ and is formed by a circular cylinder surface section of the fastening web 1219. As can be seen in Figure 17a, the fastening web 1219 is therefore essentially designed as a round rod with a planar side surface to which the support web 1231 is attached, in particular welded.

The design of the contact surface as a circular cylinder or as an oval cylinder surface section offers the great advantage that the corner deflection holder of Figure 17 can be used for internal corners with different internal corner angles smaller, equal or greater than 90°. There is always sufficient contact of the fastening section 1219 on the two fastening surfaces V ₁ and V ₂ . To attach the fastening section 1219 and

Two fastening screws 1214 are used to fasten the intermediate bracket 1213, only one of which can be seen in Figure 17a. The fastening screws are passed through a hole 1224 above or through a hole 1224 below the support web 1231 and anchored in the masonry or the like behind a corner edge area (this is the transition area between the two fastening surfaces).

Even when the cable is deflected at an inner corner, rods can be arranged parallel to the cables; for this purpose, in addition to the corner deflection holder of Figure 17, a correspondingly designed rod holder head 1202c is provided, as shown in Figure 18b. The rod holder head of Figure 18b is designed in principle similarly to the rod holder head for an outer corner angle of Figure 18a; the holder recesses 120S ₁ and 120S ₂ again run parallel to the first guide direction F' _x or to the second guide direction F' ₂ after mounting the rod holder head on the corner deflection holder of Figure 17.

In Figures 18a and 18b, a longitudinal axis H or H' of the slip-on sleeve 1104c or 1204c is shown. When the rod holder head is mounted, this longitudinal axis coincides with the longitudinal axis of the respective holder web 1131 or 1231. In the rod holder head 1102c for an outside corner, the angle related to the longitudinal axis H or to the guide direction F ₁ or F ₂ between the slip-on sleeve 1104c and the section of the pipe receiving sleeve section 1107c delimiting the holder recess HOe ₁ or 1106 ₂ is less than 90°; here it is 45°. In the case of the rod holder head 1202c for an inside corner, the corresponding angle, related to the longitudinal axis H' or the guide direction F' _x or F' ₂ , between the push-on sleeve 12 04c and the section of the pipe receiving sleeve section 1207c that delimits the holder recess 12 0G ₁ or 120 6 ₂ is greater than 90°, in this case it is 135°. Of course, the relevant angles for inside or outside corners can be different.

External corners can also be larger or smaller depending on the angle ratio.

In summary, the present invention relates to a hanging set or a tensioning cable set for hanging curtains, lighting fixtures or the like, with at least one cable and/or at least one rod, with at least two holders for attachment to a fastening surface and in the case of a cable with at least one tensioning device for tensioning the cable, in which at least one cable is guided back and forth between the two holders with at least two cable sections running between the holders to form a cable loop using deflection means, and/or in which a selection combination of rods and cable sections is provided between the holders to form a cable loop from at least two cable sections in the case of several cable sections.
