At least one continuous open chamber (4) provided with guiding or stopping strips (5, 6) is arranged on the outer side of the central support element (2). The chamber is provided with sliding, reinforcing profiles (7) which serve at the same time as direct or indirect means for fastening bearing blocks (11) for the pivoting arms, elements for limiting tilting, drive elements, or as a coupling, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the entire construction.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Markise mit zentralem Befestigungsprofil mit einem Gehäuse mit etwa kreisförmigem Querschnitt des Innenraumes zur Aufnahme einer Tuchwelle, mit einem mindestens einen Teil des Gehäuses bildenden zentralen Tragelement. Eine derartige Markise ist z.B. aus der FR-A-2125291 (entspricht der DE-A-21 07 477) bekannt. Diese Markise weist einen stabilen, die Tuchrolle aufnehmenden Kasten auf, an dem eine die Schwenkarme enthaltende U-förmige Schiene um 90° nach vorn verschwenkbar gelagert ist.The invention relates to an awning with a central fastening profile with a housing with an approximately circular cross section of the interior for receiving a fabric shaft, with a central support element forming at least part of the housing. Such an awning is e.g. from FR-A-2125291 (corresponds to DE-A-21 07 477). This awning has a stable box which holds the roll of fabric and on which a U-shaped rail containing the swivel arms is mounted so that it can be pivoted forward by 90 °.

Aus der DE 30 01 919 C 2 des Anmelders ist eine Markise mit einem Zentralsteg als zentrales Tragelement bekannt, wobei das die Tuchrolle mit Tuchwelle aufnehmende Gehäuse quadratischen Querschnitt aufweist. Dieser schmale Zentralsteg trägt an seinem oberen und seinem unteren Ende jeweils einen Lagerbock zur Aufnahme je einer waagerechten Gelenkachse für die bewegliche Befestigung von einzelnen Teilen. Ferner ist aus der DE-A-26 20 112 eine Markise mit einem rohrförmigen Gehäuse mit etwa kreisförmigem Querschnitt des Innenraumes zur Aufnahme einer Tuchwelle bekannt, wobei das Gehäuse von zwei Konsolen gehalten wird.From DE 30 01 919 C 2 of the applicant, an awning with a central web as a central supporting element is known, the housing receiving the fabric roll with fabric shaft having a square cross section. This narrow central web carries at its upper and lower end a bearing block for receiving a horizontal hinge axis for the movable attachment of individual parts. Furthermore, from DE-A-26 20 112 an awning with a tubular housing with an approximately circular cross-section of the interior for receiving a fabric shaft is known, the housing being held by two brackets.

Es ist außerdem aus DE-OS 25 14 941 eine Markise mit Gehäuse für die Tuchrolle mit kreisrundem Querschnitt bekannt. Jedoch fehlt hierbei ein durchgehendes Tragelement, ein Tragrohr oder eine Tragschiene, das zur sicheren und verschiebbaren Befestigung der Konsolen und Armbefestigungen dient. Das Gehäuse selbst ist nicht geeignet, irgendwelche Kräfte aufzunehmen.It is also known from DE-OS 25 14 941 an awning with a housing for the roll of cloth with a circular cross-section. However, a continuous support element, a support tube or a support rail, which serves for the secure and displaceable attachment of the brackets and arm attachments, is missing here. The housing itself is not suitable for absorbing any forces.

Bei allen bisher bekannten Konstruktionen waren die Abmessungen quer zur Längsrichtung trotz aller konstruktiver Bemühungen immer noch zu groß. Dabei kann nicht übersehen werden, daß der gesamte Schwenkmechanismus bei den erforderlichen Kräften zum Ausfahren und Einrollen der Markise, insbesondere bei dem Gewicht des Markisenstoffes, der Gelenk- Schwenl-arme, und vor allem aus Sicherheitsgründen wegen der behördlicherseits ge forderten Festigkeit in Bezug auf die Windlast, aber auch wegen der Verschleißfestigkeit besonders stabil und vor allem verwindungssteif aufgebaut sein muß. Dies allein setzt der Verringerung der Abmessungen gewisse Grenzen.In all previously known constructions, the dimensions transverse to the longitudinal direction were still too large, despite all constructive efforts. It can not be overlooked that the entire swivel mechanism with the forces required to extend and roll up the awning, especially with the weight of the awning fabric, the articulated arm, and especially for safety reasons because of the authorities ge required strength in relation to the wind load, but also because of the wear resistance must be particularly stable and, above all, torsionally rigid. This alone places certain limits on the reduction in size.

Zum anderen soll trotzdem die Konstruktion derart aufgebaut sein, daß sie ohne Änderungen am Konstruktionsprinzip für die unterschiedlichsten Längenabmessungen ausgelegt werden kann.On the other hand, the construction should nevertheless be constructed in such a way that it can be designed for the most varied length dimensions without changes to the construction principle.

Insbesondere muß man verlangen, daß die Markise problemlos an die verschiedensten Abstände von Befestigungspunkten ohne umfangreiche und schwierige Nacharbeit vor Ort angepaßt werden kann. Dies sind zugegebenermaßen Forderungen, die einer leichtgewichtigen Konstruktion zunöchst völlig entgegengerichtet zu sein scheinen.In particular, one has to demand that the awning can be easily adapted to the most varied distances from attachment points without extensive and difficult rework on site. Admittedly, these are requirements that at first seem to be completely opposed to a lightweight construction.

Die Erfindung hat es sich jedoch zur Aufgabe gemacht, eine Markise der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit welcher sich diese an sich widersprüchlichen Forderungen durchaus und in verblüffend einfacher Weise erfüllen lassen.However, the invention has set itself the task of creating an awning of the type mentioned, with which these contradictory requirements can be met in a surprisingly simple manner.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß an der Außenseite des zentralen Tragelementes mindestens eine durchgehende offene Kammer mit Führungsleisten bzw. Anschlagleisten vorgesehen ist, und daß in diese Kammer einschiebbare Verstärkungsprofile vorgesehen sind, die gleichzeitig mittelbar oder unmittelbar der Befestigung von Lagerböcken für die Schwenkarme, von Kippbegrenzern, von Getriebeteilen ader als Kupplung und damit der Versteifung der ganzen Konstruktion dienen, wobei bei der Befestigung der Lagerböcke die Vertärkungsprofile fest an die Führungsleisten bzw. Auschlagleisten der Kammer angepreßt werden.This is achieved according to the invention in that at least one continuous open chamber with guide strips or stop strips is provided on the outside of the central supporting element, and in that reinforcement profiles that can be inserted into this chamber are provided, which at the same time indirectly or directly attach the bearing blocks for the swivel arms, of Tilt limiters, gear parts or as a coupling and thus serve to stiffen the entire construction, the reinforcement profiles being pressed firmly against the guide strips or deflection strips of the chamber when fastening the bearing blocks.

Vorzugsweise weisen diese Vertärkungsprofile eine oder mehrere geschlossene und/oder offene Kammern auf.These reinforcement profiles preferably have one or more closed and / or open chambers.

Vorzugsweise ist die Anordnung dabei so getroffen, daß die Verstärkungsprofilo in einem mittleren Abschnitt eine offene Kammer zuf Aufnahme von Befestigungsmitteln und mindestens eine weitere geschlossene Kammer aufweisen.The arrangement is preferably such that the reinforcing profiles have an open chamber for receiving fastening means and at least one further closed chamber in a central section.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, daß dabei die Lagerböcke für die Schwenkarme einmal mittels Schrauben und Nutsteinen in einer durchlaufenden Nut am unteren Ende des zentralen Tragelementes und zum anderen durch Befestigungsmittel an den Verstärkungsprofilen befestigt sind.It is particularly advantageous that the bearing blocks for the swivel arms are fastened to the reinforcement profiles on the one hand by means of screws and sliding nuts in a continuous groove at the lower end of the central supporting element and on the other hand by fastening means.

In gleicher Weise können auch Kippbegrenzer oder ein Antrieb zur Markisenverstellung befestigt werden.Tilt limiters or an actuator for adjusting the awning can also be attached in the same way.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den weiteren Ansprüchen im einzelnen zu entnehmen.Further refinements of the invention can be found in the further claims in detail.

Die Erfindung wird nunmehr anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles in Verbindung mit den beigefügten Zeichnungen im einzelnen näher beschrieben.The invention will now be described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In den Zeichnungen zeigenShow in the drawings

Fig. 1 und 2 eine perspektivische Seitenansicht bzw. eine Querschnittsansicht einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung.1 and 2 are a perspective side view and a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the invention.

In den beiden Figuren erkennt man zunächst allgemein ein Gehäuse 1, das ein zentrales Tragelement 2 enthält. Dieses Tragelement weist an seinem unteren Ende eine durchlaufende Kammer 3 auf, die der Aufnahme von Befestigungsmitteln dient, wie dies im einzelnen noch näher dargelegt wird.In the two figures, one can generally see a housing 1 that contains a central support element 2. This support element has at its lower end a continuous chamber 3, which serves to hold fasteners, as will be explained in more detail.

Weiterhin weist das zentrale Tragelement eine offene Kammer 4 auf, die an ihrem oberen und ihrem unteren Ende jeweils durch eine Führungsleiste 5 bzw. eine Führungs- oder Anschlagsleiste 6 begrenzt wird.Furthermore, the central support element has an open chamber 4, which is delimited at its upper and lower ends by a guide bar 5 or a guide or stop bar 6.

In diese Kammer werden nun Verstärkungsprofile 7 eingesetzt. Diese Verstärkungsprofile sind sowohl aus der Schnittansicht der Fig. 2 als auch aus Fig. 1 deutlich zu erkennen. Die Länge dieser Verstärkungsprofile ist an sich beliebig und wird den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen entsprechend gewählt werden. Das gleiche trifft auch auf die Wandstärke zu.Reinforcement profiles 7 are now inserted into this chamber. These reinforcement profiles can be clearly seen both from the sectional view of FIG. 2 and from FIG. 1. The length of these reinforcement profiles is arbitrary in itself and will be chosen according to the respective needs. The same applies to the wall thickness.

Wie man in Fig. 2 erkennt, weisen diese Verstärkungsprafile 7 in einem mittleren Abschnitt eine offene Kammer 8 auf, die jedoch an ihrem oberen und unteren Ende zwei Führungsleisten aufweist. Weiterhin ist in den Verstörkungsprofilen am unteren Ende eine geschlossene Kammer 9 vorgesehen, die noch Verstörkungssicken enthalt, wodurch die Steifigkeit dieses Abschnittes erhöht wird. Außerdem weisen die Verstärkungsprofile an dieser Seite eine Führungsleiste auf, die eine sichere Führung der Verstörkungsprofile an der Führungsleiste 5 in dem Tragelement sicherstellt.As can be seen in FIG. 2, these reinforcing webs 7 have an open chamber 8 in a central section, but which has two guide strips at their upper and lower ends. Furthermore, a closed chamber 9 is provided in the reinforcement profiles at the lower end, which still contains reinforcement beads, which increases the rigidity of this section. In addition, the reinforcement profiles on this side have a guide bar, which ensures secure guidance of the reinforcement profiles on the guide bar 5 in the support element.

Am oberen Ende dieser Verstärkungsprofile ist eine weitere Kammer vorgesehen, die hier als vollstandig geschlossen dargestellt ist, obwohl auch eine Spaltöffnung zulässig wäre. Die geschlossene Kammer 10 ergibt ebenfalls eine sehr hohe Steifigkeit.At the upper end of these reinforcement profiles, a further chamber is provided, which is shown here as completely closed, although a gap opening would also be permissible. The closed chamber 10 also gives a very high rigidity.

Zur Befestigung der Schwenkarme dienen Lagerböcke 11, die an ihren unteren Enden ausgebaucht sind und eine Bohrung in Längsrichtung aufweisen, die der Aufnahme von Schwenkachsen dienen. Diese Lagerböcke werden einmal an Nutsteinen 12, die in die Kammer 3 eingeschoben werden kinnen, mittels Schrauben 13, die die Seitenwand der Kammer 3 durchsetzen, befestigt. Ein derartiger Nutstein 12 ist in beiden Figuren deutlich zu sehen.Bearing blocks 11, which are bulged at their lower ends and have a bore in the longitudinal direction, which serve to accommodate swivel axes, are used to fasten the swivel arms. These bearing blocks are attached to slot nuts 12, which can be pushed into the chamber 3, by means of screws 13 which pass through the side wall of the chamber 3. Such a sliding block 12 can be clearly seen in both figures.

Auch die Länge dieser Nutsteine ist an sich beliebig, wird jedoch immer an die Bedürfnisse angepaßt werden.The length of these slot nuts is arbitrary in itself, but will always be adapted to the needs.

Die Schrauben 13 zur Befestigung der Lagerböcke 11 an dem zentralen Tragelement 2 sind in Fig. 1 angedeutet. Eine weitere Befestigung der Lagerböcke erfolgt dann ebenfalls mit Schrauben 14, die auch in Fig. 1 angedeutet sind. Darauf wird noch näher eingegangen werden.The screws 13 for fastening the bearing blocks 11 to the central support element 2 are indicated in FIG. 1. Another mounting of the bearing blocks is then also carried out with screws 14, which are also indicated in Fig. 1. This will be discussed in more detail later.

An der Unterseite des Tragelementes 2 sind durchlaufende Nuten 15 vorgesehen, die vorzugswiese, wie gezeigt, schräg nach innen verlaufen. In diese Nuten kann dann eine Blende 16 eingerastet werden (Fig. 2). Da die Blende aus mehreren Teilstücken bestehen kann, lassen sich diese Teilstücke auch Überlappend einsetzen.Continuous grooves 15 are provided on the underside of the support element 2, which, as shown, preferably run obliquely inwards. An aperture 16 can then be snapped into these grooves (FIG. 2). Since the screen can consist of several sections, these sections can also be used overlapping.

Das zentrale Tragelement 2 weist an seinem unteren Ende einen waagerechten nach rückwärts gerichteten Abschnitt auf, der eine ebene Abschlußfläche 17 besitzt. Außerdem weist das zentrale Tragelement 2 an seinem oberen Ende eine nach vorn gerichtete ebene Führungsleiste 18 für das Markisentuch auf. An sämtlichen Seitenflächen des zentralen Tragelementes 2 sind dann Aufnahmekanäle 19 vorgesehen, die der Aufnahme van Befestigungsmitteln, beispielsweise Schrauben für die Seitenteile (nicht gezeigt) dienen.The central support element 2 has at its lower end a horizontal rearward section which has a flat end surface 17. In addition, the central support element 2 has at its upper end a forward-facing flat guide bar 18 for the awning fabric. Receiving channels 19 are then provided on all side surfaces of the central support element 2 and are used to hold fastening means, for example screws for the side parts (not shown).

Am hinteren Ende des zentralen Tragelementes befindet sich eine durchgehende Nut 20, in die eine einen Teil des Gehäuses bildende Schale 21 eingesetzt werden kann. Andererseits könnten auch das zentrale Tragelement 2 und die Schale 21 aus einem Stück bestehenAt the rear end of the central support element there is a continuous groove 20 into which a shell 21 forming part of the housing can be inserted. On the other hand, the central support element 2 and the shell 21 could also consist of one piece

Ein Dach 22, das das Gehäuse 1 nach oben abschließt, ist in einer ähnlichen durchgehenden Nut 23 der Schale 21 eingehängt. Die Schale 21 und das Dach 22 weisen ebenfalls Aufnahmekanäle 19 für die Aufnahme von Befestigungsmitteln für die Seitenteile auf. Nach Befestigung der Seitenteile wird so die gesamte Konstruktion stabil zusammangehalten.A roof 22, which closes the housing 1 at the top, is suspended in a similar continuous groove 23 in the shell 21. The shell 21 and the roof 22 also have receiving channels 19 for receiving fasteners for the side panels. After fastening the side parts, the entire construction is held together stably.

Zur weiteren Befestigung der Lagerböcke 11 dienen weitere Nutsteine 24, die in die offene Kammer 8 der Verstärkungsprofile 7 eingeschoben werden können. Ein solcher Nutstein 24 weist z.B. mehrere Gewindebohrungen 24a auf. Die Befestigung erfolgt dann in der Weise, daß durch eine den Lagerbock 11 durchsetzende Bohrung eine Schraube 14 hindurchgesteckt und in den Nutstein 24 eingeschraubt wird. Durch kräftiges Anziehen dieser Schrauben wird der Nutstein gegen die Führungsleisten der Kammer 8 angezogen, wodurch sich bereits hier eine sehr hohe Steifigkeit ergibt.For further fastening of the bearing blocks 11, further slot nuts 24 are used, which can be inserted into the open chamber 8 of the reinforcement profiles 7. Such a sliding block 24 has e.g. several threaded bores 24a. The attachment is then carried out in such a way that a screw 14 is inserted through a bore passing through the bearing block 11 and screwed into the slot nut 24. By firmly tightening these screws, the sliding block is tightened against the guide strips of the chamber 8, which already results in a very high rigidity.

Normalerweise ist der Ort, an dem die Lagerböcke angebracht werden sollen, nicht vorbekannt. Dies ist jedoch nicht mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden, da man jederzeit durch die Bohrungen der Lagerböcke hindurch die Seitenwand dar Kammer 3 durchbohren kann, um dann an dieser Stelle die Befestigungsschrauben in bereits vorhandene Gewindebohrungen 12a in dem Nutstein 12 einzudrahen. Andererseits ist auch vorstellbar, daß man durch die Bohrung im Lagerbock und durch die Bohrung in der Saitenwand der Kammer 3 hindurch in dem Nutstein 12 eine Gewindebohrung herstellt.The location where the pedestals are to be installed is usually not known. However, this is not associated with difficulties, since the side wall of the chamber 3 can be drilled through the holes in the bearing blocks at any time, in order to then screw the fastening screws into existing threaded holes 12a in the slot nut 12 at this point. On the other hand, it is also conceivable that a threaded hole is made in the slot nut 12 through the bore in the bearing block and through the bore in the string wall of the chamber 3.

Zur Befastigung von Getriebeteilen für die Achse ainer Verstellschraube dient die Kammer 10. Diese Kammer kann sowohl durchgehend sein oder aber nur als Bohrung ausgeführt sein, in die dann eine Achse eingesetzt werden kann. Wie man beispielsweise aus Fig. 1 erkennt, ist in den beiden Lagerböcken 11 unten eine durchgehende Bohrung vorgesehen, in die beispielsweise eine Kippachse 25 eingesetzt werden kann. In gleicher Weise ist in die Kammer 10, die auch als nicht durchgehende Bohrung ausgeführt sein kann, eine Achse 26 für die Verstellschraube 27 eingesetzt, die als Verstellschraube für den Neigungswinkel dient.Chamber 10 is used to fasten gear parts for the axis by means of an adjusting screw. This chamber can either be continuous or can only be designed as a bore into which an axis can then be inserted. As can be seen, for example, from FIG. 1, a through bore is provided in the two bearing blocks 11 below, into which, for example, a tilting axis 25 can be inserted. In the same way, an axis 26 for the adjusting screw 27 is used in the chamber 10, which can also be designed as a non-continuous bore, which serves as an adjusting screw for the angle of inclination.

An der Kippachse 25 kann dann beispielsweise ein Kippbegrenzer befestigt werden.A tilt limiter can then be attached to the tilt axis 25, for example.

Wie man ohne weiteres erkennt, erhält die gesamte Konstruktion des zentralen Tragelementes durch die in die Kammer 4 einschiebbaren Verstörkungsprofile 7 die erforderliche Steifigkeit. Dies wird vor allem dadurch erreicht, daß bei der Befestigung der Lagerböcke die in die Nutensteine 12 und 24 eingezogenen Schrauben einmal die Lagerböcke 11 fest gegen die Seitenwand der Kammer pressen und zum anderen die Verstörkungsprofile 7 fest an die Führungsleiste 6 anpressen, an der die Lagerböcke ebenfalls mit einer durchgehenden Leiste eingehakt sind.As can easily be seen, the entire construction of the central support element is given the required rigidity by the reinforcement profiles 7 which can be inserted into the chamber 4. This is mainly achieved in that when fastening the bearing blocks, the screws drawn into the sliding blocks 12 and 24 press the bearing blocks 11 firmly against the side wall of the chamber and, on the other hand, firmly press the reinforcement profiles 7 onto the guide bar 6, on which the bearing blocks are also hooked with a continuous bar.

Eine dem ersten Anschein nach wenig stabile Konstruktion wird auf diese Weise außerordentlich stabil und ist somit in der Lage, alle Belastungen voll aufzunehmen.A construction that at first appears to be not very stable becomes extremely stable in this way and is therefore able to fully absorb all loads.

Insbesondere wurde aber durch die neue Konstruktion eine wesentliche Verringerung der Querabmessungen der gesamten Konstruktion erreicht, ohne daß dabei die erforderliche Festigkeit und Steifigkeit beeinträchtigt worden wäre.Durch die umfagreiche Verwendung von Stragpreßprofilen ergibt sich eine nicht unerhebliche Vereinfachung, Stabilitätsverbesserung und vor allem Verbilligung.In particular, the new design has resulted in a significant reduction in the transverse dimensions of the entire construction, without the required strength and rigidity having been impaired.

Schließlich ist noch zu erwähnen, daß diese Verstärdungsprofile auch dazu verwendet werden können, mehrere zentrale Tragelemente miteinander zu kuppeln. Dies wird ebenfalls beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Lagerböcken erreicht, die man dann nur als Befestigungselemente für die Verbindung zwischen den Tragelementen und den Verstärkungsprofilen benutzt.Finally, it should be mentioned that these reinforcement profiles can also be used to couple several central support elements together. This is also achieved, for example, with the aid of pedestals, which are then used only as fastening elements for the connection between the support elements and the reinforcement profiles.
