A roller shutter which is particularly suitable for roof windows (2) having swingable wings (5) is described, which has a roller-shutter track (20), a roller-shutter shaft (11) mounted in lateral supports (6), two parallel side parts (14) provided with guides (18) for the roller-shutter track, an upper cover (33) and an actuating device (27, 29). According to the invention, the side parts (14) and at least one front section of the upper cover (33) are mounted in a swingable manner in such a way that, for all swing positions of the side parts (14), imaginary rearward extensions (18a) of the guides (18) essentially have a clearance (h) from the axis (30) of the roller-shutter shaft (11) which corresponds at least approximately to the maximum winding radius, and a free space (35) between the guides (18) and the roller-shutter shaft (11) is formed which makes possible buckle-free guiding of the section of the roller-shutter track (20) situated in said free space. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rolladen für ein mit einem schwenkbaren Flügel versehenes Abdeckteil einer Wand- oder Dachöffnung, insbesondere für ein Dachfenster, mit einer aus Rolladenstäben od. dgl. bestehenden Rolladenbahn, einer Rolladenwelle zum Auf- und Abwickeln der Rolladenbahn, zwei seitlichen Trägern, in denen die Rolladenwelle drehbar gelagert ist, zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden Seitenteilen, die zur Führung der Rolladenbahn bestimmte Führungen aufweisen und um eine zur Rolladenwelle parallele Achse schwenkbar gelagert sind, einer Oberblende zur Abdeckung der Rolladenbahn von oben und einer Rolladen-Betätigungsvorrichtung.The invention relates to a roller shutter for a cover part of a wall or roof opening provided with a pivotable wing, in particular for a skylight, with a roller shutter track consisting of roller shutter rods or the like, a roller shutter shaft for winding and unwinding the roller shutter track, two side supports, in which the roller shutter shaft is rotatably mounted, two mutually parallel side parts, which have guides for guiding the roller shutter track and are pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the roller shutter shaft, an upper cover for covering the roller shutter track from above and a roller shutter actuating device.

Rolläden dieser Art sind hauptsächlich in zwei Varianten bekannt. Sie dienen meistens zum Verschließen von in schrägen Dachflächen montierten Dachfenstern, die starr im Dach befestigte Blendrahmen und um eine meistens horizontale Achse schwenk- bzw. kippbare Fensterflügel aufweisen, Derartige Dachfenster werden zuweilen auch als Dachwohnfenster, Dachflächenfenster od. dgl. bezeichnet.Roller shutters of this type are mainly known in two variants. They are mostly used to close roof windows mounted in sloping roof surfaces, which have fixed frame frames fixed in the roof and window sashes that can be pivoted or tilted about a horizontal axis. Such roof windows are sometimes also referred to as dwelling windows, roof windows or the like.

Bei der ersten bekannten Variante (DE-OS 29 06 871) bilden die Seitenteile und ein starr mit diesen verbundener Rolladenkasten eine Baueinheit, die als Ganzes um eine parallel und mit Abstand zur Schwenkachse des Fensterflügels angeordnete Achse verschwenkt werden kann und dazu mittels eines am oberen Rand des Fensters oder am Dach befestigten Montagelagers oder Scharniers schwenkbar gelagert ist. Dadurch sind beim Öffnen des Fensterflügels große Kräfte aufzuwenden, ungünstige Montageverhältnisse mit hoch über das Dach aufragenden Rolladenkästen in Kauf zu nehmen und wegen der mitschwenkenden Rolladenwelle komplizierte, teilweise nur bei geöffnetem Fensterflügel bedienbare Betätigungseinrichtungen erforderlich, zumindest wenn eine Betätigung des Rolladens mittels einer Handkurbel oder eines Motors od. dgl. gewünscht wird.In the first known variant (DE-OS 29 06 871), the side parts and a roller shutter box rigidly connected to them form a structural unit which can be pivoted as a whole about an axis arranged parallel and at a distance from the pivot axis of the window sash and for this purpose by means of an upper one Edge of the window or roof mounting bracket or hinge is pivotally mounted. This means that when opening the window casement large forces have to be applied, unfavorable installation conditions with roller shutter boxes towering high above the roof, and complicated, because of the pivoting roller shutter shaft, In some cases, operating devices that can only be operated when the window sash is open are required, at least if an actuation of the roller shutter by means of a hand crank or a motor or the like is desired.

Die zweite bekannte Variante (DE-OS 27 42 787 und 35 07 015) zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß ein Rolladenkasten ortsfest auf dem Dach oder am Blendrahmen des Fensters montiert wird und die Seitenteile entweder als Ganzes schwenkbar am Rolladenkasten befestigt sind oder aus je zwei Abschnitten hergestellt werden, die um eine zur Schwenkachse des Fensterflügels parallele und von dieser beabstandete Achse schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind, um das Öffnen des Fensterflügels zu ermöglichen. Hierdurch ergeben sich erhebliche Beschränkungen im Hinblick auf den Bedienungskomfort. Übliche, in Rechtsläufer-Anordnung montierte Rolladenbahnen können im Bereich der Schwenkverbindungen der Seitenteile nicht so stark eingeknickt werden, wie es zum weiten Öffnen des Fensterflügels erwünscht ist, oder lassen sich zerstörungsfrei gar nicht abknicken, sofern sich gerade ein Rolladenstab bzw. eine Rolladenlamelle im Bereich der Schwenkverbindungen befindet. Derartige Rolläden lassen daher ohne Gefahr von Beschädigungen eine Betätigung des Fensterflügels allenfalls in Linksläufer-Anordnung oder nur dann zu, wenn das freie Rolladenende hinter die Schwenkachse der Seitenteile bzw. Seitenabschnitte zurückgezogen ist.The second known variant (DE-OS 27 42 787 and 35 07 015) is characterized in that a roller shutter box is mounted stationary on the roof or on the window frame and the side parts are either pivotally attached to the roller shutter box as a whole or from two Sections are produced which are connected to one another so as to be pivotable about an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the window sash and at a distance therefrom, in order to enable the opening of the window sash. This results in considerable restrictions in terms of ease of use. Conventional roller blinds installed in a clockwise rotation arrangement cannot be bent as much in the area of the swivel connections of the side parts as is desired to open the window sash, or cannot be broken without destruction, provided there is a roller shutter slat or a roller shutter slat in the area the swivel connections is located. Such roller shutters therefore allow the window sash to be operated in a left-handed arrangement at best or only if the free end of the roller shutter is retracted behind the pivot axis of the side parts or side sections.

Ausgehend davon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Rolladen der eingangs bezeichneten Gattung so zu gestalten, daß es trotz Anwendung einer Rolladenwelle, die in starr montierten Trägern drehbar gelagert ist, möglich wird, den Flügel vergleichsweise weit zu öffnen, ohne daß sich die Gefahr von Beschädigungen für die Rolladenbahn ergibt. Diese Verschwenkbarkeit soll weiter im wesentlichen unabhängig vom jeweiligen Schließzustand des Rolladens und insbesondere für Rechtsläufer-Anordnungen geeignet sein.Proceeding from this, the invention has for its object to design the roller shutters of the type mentioned in such a way that, despite the use of a roller shutter shaft which is rotatably mounted in rigidly mounted supports, it is possible to open the sash comparatively widely without the danger of damage to the roller shutter track. This pivotability should also be essentially independent of the respective closed state of the roller shutter and particularly suitable for right-handed arrangements.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist der eingangs bezeichnete Rolladen erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Seitenteile und wenigstens ein vorderer Abschnitt der Oberblende relativ zu den seitlichen Trägern derart schwenkbar gelagert sind, daß bei allen Schwenkstellungen der Seitenteile gedachte rückwärtige Verlängerungen der Führungen im wesentlichen einen wenigstens dem maximalen Wickelradius der Rolladenwelle entsprechenden Abstand von deren Achse aufweisen.To achieve this object, the roller shutters described at the outset are characterized according to the invention in that the side parts and at least one front section of the top panel are pivotably mounted relative to the side supports in such a way that rear extensions of the guides, which are intended for all pivoting positions of the side parts, essentially achieve at least the maximum Have a corresponding winding radius of the roller shutter shaft from its axis.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der überraschenden Erkenntnis, daß die oben beschriebenen Probleme mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln vermieden werden können. Anders als bei bisherigen Lösungen wird auf das Vorhandensein eines üblichen Rolladenkastens verzichtet, der bisher zur zuverlässigen Abdichtung für erforderlich gehalten wurde und nur einen schmalen, auf der Vorderseite angeordneten Austrittsschlitz für die Rolladenbahn aufweist. Aufgrund der zumindest teilweisen Verbindung der Oberblende mit den Seitenteilen wird bei deren Verschwenkung ein Freiraum oberhalb und vor der Rolladenwelle geschaffen und damit im Gegensatz zu starren Rolladenkästen eine entsprechende Verschwenkung des zu den Führungen laufenden Abschnitts der Rolladenbahn ermöglicht. Dadurch kann eine ebenso gute Abdichtung wie bei Anwendung eines rundum nahezu geschlossenen Rolladenkastens erzielt und die Rolladenbahn unabhängig vom Schwenkwinkel und unabhängig vom jeweiligen Wickeldurchmesser der Rolladenwelle stets knickfrei geführt werden.The invention is based on the surprising finding that the problems described above can be avoided with simple constructional means. Unlike previous solutions dispense with the presence of a conventional roller shutter box, which was previously considered necessary for reliable sealing and has only a narrow outlet slit for the roller shutter track arranged on the front. Due to the at least partial connection of the top panel to the side parts, when they are pivoted, a free space is created above and in front of the roller shutter shaft and, in contrast to rigid roller shutter boxes, a corresponding pivoting of the section of the roller shutter track running to the guides is made possible. As a result, a seal that is just as good as when using an almost completely closed roller shutter box can be achieved and the roller shutter track is always guided without kinks regardless of the swivel angle and regardless of the respective winding diameter of the roller shutter shaft.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher erläutert ist. Es zeigen:

Further advantages and features of the invention result from the following description, in which an embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a roof window with a roller shutter according to the invention in a perspective view.
  • 2 shows a schematic side view of a roller shutter according to the invention from the right with the roof window closed;
  • 3 shows a schematic side view of the roller shutter according to FIG. 2 from the left, likewise with the roof window closed; and
  • Fig. 4 is a side view corresponding to FIG. 2, but with the roof window open.

Nach Fig. 1 bis 4 ist auf einem Dach 1 ein übliches Dachfenster 2 montiert, das einen eine Dachöffnung umgebenden Blendrahmen 3 und einen in diesem um eine mittlere Achse 4 schwenkbar gelagerten Fensterflügel 5 aufweist. Oberhalb des Blendrahmens 3 sind zwei seitliche Träger 6 starr am Dach 1 befestigt. Diese Träger 6 sind z.B. durch eine über die Breite des Blendrahmens 3 erstreckte Unterblende 7 zu einer fest am Dach 1 montierbaren Baueinheit miteinander verbunden, wozu die Unterblende 7 vorzugsweise einen um 90° nach hinten abgebogenen Abschnitt 8 aufweist, der nach seiner Befestigung am Dach 1 mit Dachplatten 9 abgedeckt wird. Die beiden Träger 6 bestehen vorzugsweise aus quadratischen bzw. rechteckigen Platten, deren Oberkanten jedoch längs je eines von hinten nach vorn und unten verlaufenden Bogens 10 gekrümmt sind.According to FIGS. 1 to 4, a conventional roof window 2 is mounted on a roof 1, which has a window frame 3 surrounding a roof opening and a window sash 5 pivotably mounted therein about a central axis 4. Above the frame 3, two side supports 6 are rigidly attached to the roof 1. These supports 6 are connected to one another, for example, by a sub-panel 7 which extends across the width of the frame 3 to form a structural unit which can be securely mounted on the roof 1, for which purpose the sub-panel 7 preferably has a section 8 which is bent backwards by 90 ° and which is fastened to the roof 1 is covered with roof tiles 9.

Die Enden einer zwischen den Trägern 6 angeordneten Rolladenwelle 11 sind drehbar in den Trägern 6 gelagert. Außerdem sind in den Trägern 6 die Schwenkzapfen 12 von Seitenteilen 14 schwenkbar gelagert, die in einem dem Abstand der seitlichen Rahmenteile des Blendrahmens entsprechenden Abstand parallel zueinander angeordnet und an ihren Vorderenden durch ein senkrecht zu ihnen angeordnetes Fußteil 15, z.B. in Form eines Hohlkörpers, verbunden sind, das über das zugeordnete Ende des Blendrahmens 3 übersteht. An ihren Hinterenden weisen die Seitenteile 14 Verlängerungen 16 auf, die vorzugsweise aus Scheiben oder Blechen hergestellt sind, die die Träger 6 von außen abdecken, bis zur Unterblende 7 reichen und von den Schwenkzapfen 12 durchragt sind. Die Seitenteile 14 und Verlängerungen 16 sind vorzugsweise gleichzeitig als Seitenblenden ausgebildet, so daß sie zusammen mit dem Fußteil 15 einen Rahmen bilden, der den Blendrahmen 3 von außen umschließt. Die Verlängerungen 16 sind an ihren Unterseiten zweckmäßig mit Aussparungen bzw. gerundeten Ecken 17 versehen, damit sie die aus Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Schwenkbewegungen um die Schwenkzapfen 12 ausführen können.The ends of a roller shutter shaft 11 arranged between the carriers 6 are rotatably mounted in the carriers 6. In addition, the pivot pins 12 of side parts 14 are pivotally mounted in the carriers 6, which are arranged parallel to one another at a distance corresponding to the distance between the side frame parts of the frame and at their front ends by a foot part 15 arranged perpendicular to them, e.g. in the form of a hollow body, which protrudes beyond the associated end of the frame 3. At their rear ends, the side parts 14 have extensions 16, which are preferably made of disks or sheets which cover the supports 6 from the outside, extend to the lower cover 7 and are penetrated by the pivot pins 12. The side parts 14 and extensions 16 are preferably simultaneously designed as side panels, so that they form a frame together with the foot part 15, which encloses the frame 3 from the outside. The extensions 16 are expediently provided on their undersides with recesses or rounded corners 17 so that they can execute the pivoting movements shown in FIG. 4 around the pivot pins 12.

Die Seitenteile 14 weisen auf ihren Innenseiten je eine obere, parallel zu ihrer Längsrichtung verlaufende Führung 18 in Form einer Nut od. dgl. auf, in der die seitlichen Enden einer üblichen, aus Rolladenstäben 19, Lamellen od. dgl. gebildeten Rolladenbahn 20 (Fig. 1) gleitend geführt sind, deren rückwärtiges Ende an der Rolladenwelle 11 befestigt ist und deren vorderes Ende an nicht näher dargestellten, in den Seitenteilen 14 geführten Zugbändern befestigt sein kann, die einen Teil einer hier nicht interessierenden Rolladen-Betätigungsvorrichtung bilden und über im Fußteil 15 gelagerte Rollen od. dgl. zu einem im Bereich der Rolladenwelle 11 angeordneten Spann- und/oder Aufwickelmechanismus geführt sein können. Die rückwärtigen Enden der Führungen 18 sind vor der Rolladenwelle 11 vorzugsweise so dicht bis an die Träger 6 herangeführt, wie dies bei der im Einzelfall vorgesehenen Gesamtkonstruktion und unter Berücksichtigung der nachfolgend beschriebenen Funktion möglich ist. Alternativ können die Zugbänder an einer im Fußteil 15 gelagerten Federwelle befestigt sein. Diese Federwelle kann in den seitlichen Begrenzungswänden des Fußteils 15 drehbar gelagert und als Zugvorrichtung ausgebildet sein, indem ihre Federkraft bestrebt ist, die Rolladenbahn 20 in Richtung der Schließstellung, d.h. in Richtung des Fußteils 15 zu ziehen. Die Funktion der Federwelle ist analog zu der von üblichen, bei Innenrollos od. dgl. verwendeten Federwellen, wobei jedoch vorzugsweise die übliche Sperrklinkenanordnung fehlt, so daß die Rolladenbahn 20 in jeder Stellung unter dem Einfluß einer Federkraft steht. Diese ist vorzugsweise so gewählt, daß sich über den gesamten Bewegungsweg der Rolladenbahn 20 im wesentlichen gleiche Federeigenschaften ergeben.The side parts 14 each have on their inner sides an upper guide 18, running parallel to their longitudinal direction, in the form of a groove or the like, in which the lateral ends of a conventional roller shutter track 20 formed from roller shutter bars 19, slats or the like (FIG 1) are slidably guided, the rear end of which is fastened to the roller shutter shaft 11 and the front end of which can be fastened to tension bands (not shown in more detail) which are guided in the side parts 14 and form part of a roller shutter actuating device which is not of interest here and in the foot part 15 stored rollers or the like can be guided to a tensioning and / or winding mechanism arranged in the area of the roller shutter shaft 11. The rear ends of the guides 18 are preferably brought as close to the support 6 in front of the roller shutter shaft 11 as is possible in the overall construction provided in individual cases and taking into account the function described below. Alternatively, the drawstrings can be fastened to a spring shaft mounted in the foot part 15. This spring shaft can be rotatably mounted in the lateral boundary walls of the foot part 15 and can be designed as a pulling device in that its spring force tends to pull the roller shutter track 20 in the direction of the closed position, ie in the direction of the foot part 15. The function of the spring shaft is analogous to that of conventional spring shafts used in interior roller blinds or the like, but preferably the usual pawl arrangement is missing, so that the roller shutter track 20 is under the influence of a spring force in every position. This is preferably chosen so that there are essentially the same spring properties over the entire path of movement of the roller shutter track 20.

An dem beim Öffnen des Dachfensters 2 nach außen aus dem Dach 1 herausschwenkbaren Vorderende des Fensterflügels 5 ist wenigstens ein Ansatz 22 mit einem Führungszapfen 23 angebracht, der in eine parallel zur Längsrichtung erstreckte Führungsnut 24 eines der Seitenteile 14 ragt. Vorzugsweise sind an beiden seitlichen Rahmenteilen des Fensterflügels 5 solche Führungszapfen 23 und an beiden Seitenteilen 14 entsprechende Führungsnuten 24 vorgesehen. Die Kombination aus Führungszapfen 23 und Führungsnut 24 bewirkt, daß beim Öffnen des Fensterflügels 5 automatisch die aus Seitenteilen 14, Verlängerungen 16 und Fußteil 15 bestehende Baueinheit in der aus Fig. 4 ersichtlichen Weise um die Schwenkzapfen 12 verschwenkt wird.At least one extension 22 with a guide pin 23 is attached to the front end of the window sash 5 which can be pivoted outward from the roof 1 when the roof window 2 is opened and which projects into a guide groove 24 of one of the side parts 14 which extends parallel to the longitudinal direction. Such guide pins 23 and corresponding guide grooves 24 are preferably provided on both side frame parts of the window sash 5 and 14 on both side parts. The combination of guide pin 23 and guide groove 24 has the effect that when the window sash 5 is opened, the structural unit consisting of side parts 14, extensions 16 and foot part 15 is pivoted about the pivot pin 12 in the manner shown in FIG. 4.

Die Öffnungs- und Schließbewegung der Rolladenbahn 20 kann mit Hilfe von an sich bekannten Rolladen-Betätigungsvorrichtungen gesteuert werden, die mit der Rolladenwelle 11 starr verbunden sind. Da die Rolladenwelle 11 in den ortsfest montierten Trägern 6 gelagert ist und daher die Schwenkbewegung der Seitenteile 11 nicht mitmacht, kann die Betätigungsvorrichtung in weitgehend beliebiger Weise gestaltet sein. Ein Betätigungsorgan der Betätigungsvorrichtung kann z.B. entweder nahe der Rolladenwelle in den mit dem Dachfenster 2 versehenen Raum geführt oder mit Hilfe von längs der seitlichen Rahmenteile des Blendrahmens 3 geführten Umlenkelementen an das entgegengesetzte Ende des Dachfensters 2 verlegt sein. Dies ist in Fig. 2 bis 4 lediglich schematisch durch im Blendrahmen 3 drehbar gelagerte Stangen 25, 26 und 27 angedeutet, die von einem an der Rolladenwelle 11 angreifenden Zahnradgetriebe 28 (Fig. 3) zu einem Betätigungsorgan, z.B. einer Kurbel 29 (Fig. 2,4), einem Zugseil od. dgl. führen, das bei geöffnetem oder geschlossenem Fensterflügel 5 und vom Raum her betätigt wird. Dabei kann ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausgleiten der Rolladenbahn 20 aus den Führungen 18 z.B. durch an diesen vorgesehene Anschläge verhindert werden.The opening and closing movement of the roller shutter track 20 can be controlled with the aid of roller shutter actuating devices known per se, which are rigidly connected to the roller shutter shaft 11. Since the roller shutter shaft 11 is mounted in the fixedly mounted supports 6 and therefore does not participate in the pivoting movement of the side parts 11, the actuating device can be designed in a largely arbitrary manner. An actuator of the actuator can e.g. either near the roller shutter shaft into the space provided with the roof window 2 or with the aid of deflection elements guided along the lateral frame parts of the frame 3 to the opposite end of the roof window 2. This is indicated in FIGS. 2 to 4 only schematically by rods 25, 26 and 27 which are rotatably mounted in the frame 3 and which extend from a gear transmission 28 (FIG. 3) acting on the roller shutter shaft 11 to an actuating member, e.g. a crank 29 (Fig. 2.4), a traction rope or the like. Which is operated with the window sash 5 open or closed and from the room. An unintentional sliding out of the roller shutter track 20 from the guides 18 can e.g. can be prevented by stops provided on these.

Die Funktion des erfindungsgemäßen Rolladens ist aus Fig. 2 bis 4 deutlich erkennbar. Im geschlossenen Zustand des Fensterflügels 5 werden die Seitenteile 14 durch die Führungszapfen 23 in ihrer unteren Schwenkstellung gehalten. Die Rolladenbahn 20 kann beliebig von der Rolladenwelle 11 ab- oder auf sie aufgewickelt werden, wobei die Rolladenbahn 20 in dem zwischen dem Anfang der Führungen 18 und der Rolladenwelle 11 befindlichen Raum einen, bezogen auf die Drehachse 30 der Rollenwelle 11, konvexen Bogen 31 beschreibt. Bei geöff netem Fensterflügel 5 gilt dasselbe. Dabei ist es möglich, den Fensterflügel 5 bei geschlossener, teilweise geöffneter oder ganz geöffneter Rolladenbahn 20 beliebig zu verschwenken. Der Umstand, daß beim Öffnen des Fensterflügels 5 der Abstand der Achse 30 der Rolladenwelle 11 von denjenigen Enden der Führungen 18, die der Rolladenwelle 11 zugewandt sind, allmählich etwas größer wird, bedeutet keinen Nachteil, weil das hierfür erforderliche Stück der Rolladenbahn 20 dabei auch bei vollständig geschlossener Rolladenbahn 20 noch aus einer restlichen, auf der Rolladenwelle 11 befindlichen Reserve abgewickelt werden kann. Außerdem sind viele Rolladenbahnen 20 im Bereich der Rolladenwelle 11 durch sogenannte Siralfedern abgestützt, wodurch sich ebenfalls eine verfügbare Rolladenbahnreserve ergibt. Abgesehen davon können die Unterschiede in den Längen der Rolladenbahn 20, die sich in geöffnetem bzw. geschlossenem Zustand des Fensterflügels 5 ergeben, bei der beschriebenen Konstruktion so klein gehalten werden, daß sie nur wenige Zentimeter betragen.The function of the roller shutter according to the invention can be clearly seen from FIGS. 2 to 4. In the closed state of the window sash 5, the side parts 14 are held in their lower pivot position by the guide pins 23. The roller shutter track 20 can be unwound from or wound onto the roller shutter shaft 11, the roller shutter track 20 describing a convex arc 31 in relation to the axis of rotation 30 of the roller shaft 11 in the space between the beginning of the guides 18 and the roller shutter shaft 11 . When open netem casement 5 the same applies. It is possible to pivot the window sash 5 as desired when the roller shutter track 20 is closed, partially open or fully open. The fact that when the window sash 5 is opened, the distance between the axis 30 of the roller shutter shaft 11 and those ends of the guides 18 which face the roller shutter shaft 11 gradually increases, does not mean a disadvantage, because the piece of roller shutter track 20 required for this is also included when the roller shutter track 20 is completely closed, it can still be handled from a remaining reserve located on the roller shutter shaft 11. In addition, many roller shutter tracks 20 are supported in the area of the roller shutter shaft 11 by so-called siral springs, which also results in an available roller shutter track reserve. Apart from this, the differences in the lengths of the roller shutter track 20, which result in the open or closed state of the window sash 5, can be kept so small in the construction described that they are only a few centimeters.

Damit sich die gewünschte Funktion bei allen vorgesehenen Schwenkstellungen des Fensterflügels 5 bzw. der Seitenteile 14 ergibt, sind die Seitenteile 14 mittels der Schwenkzapfen 12 so gelagert, daß gedachte rückwärtige Verlängerungen 18a der Führungen 18 (Fig. 2 und 4) in allen diesen Schwenkstellungen im wesentlichen einen Abstand h von der Achse 30 aufweisen, der wenigstens etwa dem maximalen Wickelradius der Rolladenwelle 11 bei voll aufgewickelter Rolladenbahn 20 entspricht. In diesem Fall kann die Rolladenbahn 20 unabhängig davon tangential von der Rolladenwelle 11 abgewickelt und den Führungen 18 in einem konvexen Bogen 31 zugeführt werden, welchen momentanen Wickeldurchmesser die Rolladenwelle 11 gerade hat, d.h. unabhängig davon, ob sich die Rolladenbahn 20 in ihrem voll aufgewickelten, voll abgewickelten oder einem dazwischen liegenden Wickelzustand befindet. Da der konvexe Bogen 31 außerdem in allen Schwenkstellungen der Seitenteile 14 im wesentlichen erhalten bleibt, kann die Rolladenbahn 20 auch bei der üblichen Rechtsläufer-Anordnung nicht nach oben abknicken.So that the desired function results in all intended pivot positions of the window sash 5 or the side parts 14, the side parts 14 are mounted by means of the pivot pin 12 so that imaginary rearward extensions 18a of the guides 18 (FIGS. 2 and 4) in all these pivot positions in essentially have a distance h from the axis 30 which corresponds at least approximately to the maximum winding radius of the roller shutter shaft 11 when the roller shutter track 20 is fully wound. In this case, the roller shutter track 20 can be unwound tangentially from the roller shutter shaft 11 and fed to the guides 18 in a convex arc 31, the current winding diameter of the roller shutter shaft 11, ie regardless of whether the roller shutter track 20 is in its fully wound, fully unwound or an intermediate winding state. Since the convex arch 31 is also essentially retained in all pivoting positions of the side parts 14, the roller shutter track 20 cannot bend upwards even in the case of the usual right-handed arrangement.

Der genannte Abstand h wird beispielsweise dann erhalten, wenn die Schwenkzapfen 12 in der aus Fig. 2,4 ersichtlichen Weise in der rechten oberen Ecke der Träger 6 angeordnet sind und gleichzeitig die Achse 30 der Rolladenwelle 11 etwa in deren Zentrum, d.h. vor und unter den Schwenkzapfen 12 liegt. Je nach Ausbildung der Seitenteile 14 bzw. der Verlängerungen 16 gibt es aber eine Vielzahl weiterer Orte, an denen die Schwenkzapfen 12 zur Erfüllung des gewünschten Zwecks angeordnet werden können. Außerdem soll durch die Angaben "im wesentlichen" und "etwa" in bezug auf das Maß h zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, daß dieses Maß in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Konstruktion auch etwas kleiner als der maximale Radius des Rolladenwickels sein kann. Wie aus Fig. 2 und 4 klar ersichtlich ist, sollte die Anordnung zweckmäßig so getroffen sein, daß derjenige Abschnitt der Rolladenbahn 20, der zwischen der Rolladenwelle 11 und dem Anfang der Führungen 18 angeordnet ist, entweder in einer Ebene geführt wird, die durch die Verlängerungen 18a angedeutet ist und tangential zum Rolladenwickel bei maximalem Wickelradius verläuft, oder den aus Fig. 2 und 4 ersichtlichen, konvexen Bogen 31 beschreibt.Said distance h is obtained, for example, if the pivot pins 12 are arranged in the upper right corner of the carrier 6 in the manner shown in FIG. 2.4 and at the same time the axis 30 of the roller shutter shaft 11 is approximately in the center thereof, ie in front and below the pivot pin 12 is located. Depending on the design of the side parts 14 or the extensions 16, there are, however, a large number of other locations at which the pivot pins 12 can be arranged to fulfill the desired purpose. In addition, the information "essentially" and "approximately" in relation to the dimension h is intended to express that this Depending on the particular construction, the dimension can also be somewhat smaller than the maximum radius of the roller shutter winding. As can be clearly seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, the arrangement should expediently be such that that section of the roller shutter track 20, which is arranged between the roller shutter shaft 11 and the beginning of the guides 18, is either guided in a plane through which Extensions 18a is indicated and extends tangentially to the roller shutter winding at the maximum winding radius, or describes the convex arch 31 shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.

Damit die Rolladenwelle 20 und der darauf befindlichen Rolladenwickel zumindest bei geschlossenem Fensterflügel 5 von oben her dicht abgedeckt sind, sind die beiden Seitenteile 14 durch eine über die Breite des Dachfensters 2 erstreckte Oberblende 33 verbunden, die sich nach vorn zumindest bis zum Anfang der Führungen 18 erstrecken kann, im unverschwenkten Zustand der Seitenteile 14 etwa parallel zum Blendrahmen 3 verläuft und mit in Richtung der Rolladenbahn 20 erstreckten Dichtlippen versehen sein kann. Das Hinterende 34 dieser Oberblende 33 ist vorzugsweise nach unten derart abgewinkelt, daß es das obere Ende der Unterblende 7 überdeckt, aber dennoch die aus Fig. 4 ersichtliche Verschwenkung der Seitenteile 14 nicht behindert. Aus demselben Grund verlaufen die Oberkanten der Träger 6 längs der Bögen 10. Alternativ kann die Unterblende 7 entsprechend geformt und z.B. mit einer Eindrückung versehen sein. Weitere Blenden können bei Bedarf an den ortsfesten Trägern 6 befestigt werden.So that the roller shutter shaft 20 and the roller shutter winding thereon are covered tightly from above, at least when the window sash 5 is closed, the two side parts 14 are connected by an upper panel 33 which extends across the width of the roof window 2 and extends forward at least to the beginning of the guides 18 can extend, in the non-pivoted state of the side parts 14 extends approximately parallel to the frame 3 and can be provided with sealing lips extending in the direction of the roller shutter track 20. The rear end 34 of this upper panel 33 is preferably angled downward in such a way that it covers the upper end of the lower panel 7, but nevertheless does not hinder the pivoting of the side parts 14 shown in FIG. 4. For the same reason, the upper edges of the supports 6 run along the arches 10. Alternatively, the lower cover 7 can be shaped accordingly and e.g. be provided with an indentation. If necessary, further screens can be attached to the fixed supports 6.

Mit Hilfe der an den Seitenteilen 14 befestigten Oberblende 33 und den übrigen, an den Trägern 6 befestigten Blenden gelingt es, einerseits den die Rolladenwelle 11 aufnehmenden Raum weitgehend regen- und schneedicht abzuschließen, zumindest wenn sich die Seitenteile im unverschwenkten Zustand befinden, und dennoch in allen Schwenkstellungen der Seitenteile 14 zwischen den Führungen 18 und der Rolladenwelle 11 denjenigen Freiraum 35 (Fig. 4) zu schaffen, der die beschriebene Führung der Rolladenbahn 20 längs des Bogens 31 bei allen Schwenkstellungen ermöglicht.With the help of the top panel 33 attached to the side parts 14 and the other panels attached to the supports 6, it is possible, on the one hand, to close off the space receiving the roller shutter shaft 11 largely rainproof and snowproof, at least when the side parts are in the non-pivoted state, and yet in All swivel positions of the side parts 14 between the guides 18 and the roller shutter shaft 11 to create that space 35 (FIG. 4) that enables the described guidance of the roller shutter track 20 along the arc 31 in all swivel positions.

Vorteile der Erfindung bestehen insbesondere darin, daß sich aufgrund der feststehenden Träger 6 keine Montageprobleme für die Betätigungsvorrichtung ergeben, insbesondere wenn diese eine Handkurbel als Betätigungsorgan aufweisen soll, daß die Rolladenbahn 20 in der üblichen Rechtsläufer-Anordnung montiert werden kann, kein ungewünschtes Abknicken der Rolladenbahn 20 beim Öffnen des Fensterflügels 5 auftritt und der zu verschwenkende Teil der gesamten Anordnung ein relativ geringes Gewicht besitzt. Außerdem können die Träger 6 oberhalb des Dachfensters starr am Dach oder am Blendrahmen 3 fixiert und dabei so flach ausgebildet werden, daß sie nicht über die Seitenteile 14 nach oben überstehen.Advantages of the invention are, in particular, that there are no assembly problems for the actuating device due to the fixed support 6, in particular if the actuating device is to have a hand crank that the roller shutter track 20 can be mounted in the usual right-handed rotation arrangement, no undesired kinking of the roller shutter track 20 occurs when opening the window sash 5 and the part to be pivoted entire arrangement has a relatively low weight. In addition, the carrier 6 can be rigidly fixed above the roof window on the roof or on the frame 3 and be designed so flat that they do not protrude above the side parts 14.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, das sich auf vielfache Weise abwandeln läßt. Dies gilt insbesondere für die im Einzelfall verwendete Rolladen-Betätigungsvorrichtung, etwaige Zusatzeinrichtungen oder die beschriebene Federwelle, die auch fehlen und durch andere Mittel ersetzt werden könnte, die ein vollständiges Schließen des Rolladens auch bei solchen Neigungswinkeln der Seitenteile 14 sicherstellen, bei denen die Rolladenbahn 20 nicht aufgrund ihrer Schwerkraft in die Schließstellung gelangen kann. Weiter ist die Erfindung nicht darauf beschränkt, daß die aus den Seitenteilen 14, dem Fußteil 15 und der Oberblende 33 gebildete, verschwenkbare Baueinheit an denselben Trägern 6 schwenkbar gelagert ist, die auch die Rolladenwelle 11 tragen. Wie sich insbesondere aus Fig. 4 ergibt, könnten vielmehr die Verlängerungen 16 der Seitenteile 14 auch an anderen, insbesondere hinter den Trägern 6 montierten Trägern schwenkbar befestigt sein. Weiter ist abweichend von Fig. 2 bis 4 nicht erforderlich, die Oberblende 33 ausschließlich an den Seitenteilen 14 anzubringen. Je nach Lage und Anordnung der Schwenkzapfen 12 ist es vielmehr auch möglich, zumindest einen rückwärtigen Abschnitt der Oberblende 33 starr an den Trägern 6 od. dgl. zu montieren und lediglich einen Vorderabschnitt mit den Seitenteilen 14 zu verschwenken. Schließlich kann die Erfindung nach entsprechender Anpassung auch für vertikale Wandfenster oder Türen mit entsprechend kippbaren Flügeln angewendet werden.The invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment described, which can be modified in many ways. This applies in particular to the roller shutter actuating device used in the individual case, any additional devices or the spring shaft described, which are also missing and could be replaced by other means which ensure that the roller shutter is closed completely even at angles of inclination of the side parts 14 at which the roller shutter track 20 cannot reach the closed position due to their gravity. Furthermore, the invention is not limited to the fact that the pivotable assembly formed from the side parts 14, the foot part 15 and the top panel 33 is pivotably mounted on the same supports 6 which also carry the roller shutter shaft 11. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the extensions 16 of the side parts 14 could also be pivotably attached to other supports, in particular mounted behind the supports 6. In addition, deviating from FIGS. 2 to 4, it is not necessary to attach the top panel 33 exclusively to the side parts 14. Depending on the position and arrangement of the pivot pins 12, it is rather also possible to rigidly mount at least one rear section of the upper panel 33 on the supports 6 or the like and only to pivot a front section with the side parts 14. Finally, the invention can also be used for vertical wall windows or doors with correspondingly tiltable sashes after appropriate adaptation.
