In order to permit particularly simple installation with slope adjustment, the holders (2) can be hung in at articulated fixing means (4, 5) of the brackets (1) and possess an approximately arc-shaped interior space in which a box with cloth shaft and awning cloth can be inserted and hung in, for example.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gelenkarmmarkise mit Konsolen zur Befestigung der Markise an einer Wand oder Decke sowie mit an den Konsolen befestigbaren Halterungen für eine ggf. die Tuchwelle mit Markisentuch aufnehmende Kassette, wobei die Halterungen an den Konsolen an Befestigungsmitteln in der Weise einhängbar sind, daß die Konsolen an ihren unteren Enden einen hakenförmig nach oben gerichteten Vorsprung aufweisen, in den eine an den rückwärtigen unteren Enden der Halterungen vorspringende Leiste einhängbar ist. Eine derartige Anordnung zeigt z.B. die DE - A - 29 16 496.The invention relates to an articulated arm awning with brackets for attaching the awning to a wall or ceiling and with brackets that can be fastened to the brackets for a cassette that possibly accommodates the fabric shaft with awning fabric, the brackets being attachable to the brackets on fastening means in such a way that the Consoles have at their lower ends a hook-like upward projection into which a ledge projecting at the rear lower ends of the brackets can be hung. Such an arrangement shows e.g. DE - A - 29 16 496.

Außerdem ist eine Gelenkarmmarkise dieser Art beispielsweise aus der DE-A-25 14 941 bekannt. Dort ist eine Markise mit einem freitragenden Markisenkasten offenbart, der über Wandhalterungen, die den Markisenkasten mit Bügeln umgreifen, an Wandkonsolen mit Langlöchern befestigt ist, wodurch die Neigung der Markise veränderbar festgelegt werden kann.In addition, an articulated arm awning of this type is known for example from DE-A-25 14 941. There an awning with a cantilevered awning box is disclosed, which is attached to wall brackets with brackets around wall brackets, attached to wall brackets with elongated holes, whereby the inclination of the awning can be changed.

Einerseits ist die Befestigung dieser Gelenkarmmarkise und ihre Neigungsverstellung kompliziert und nur schwierig zu verändern. Außerdem ist auch der Markisenkasten ziemlich massiv und dadurch material intensiv und ziemlich schwer.On the one hand, the fastening of this articulated arm awning and its inclination adjustment are complicated and difficult to change. In addition, the awning box is also quite solid and therefore material intensive and quite heavy.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht darin, eine Gelenkarmmarkise der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die insgesamt leichter und einfacher zu befestigen und leichter in ihrer Neigung zu verstellen ist und insgesamt auch aus weniger Teilen besteht.The object underlying the invention is to create an articulated arm awning of the type mentioned, which is overall lighter and easier to attach and easier to adjust in its inclination and also consists of fewer parts overall.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind den weiteren Patentansprüchen im einzelnen zu entnehmen.Further features of the invention can be found in the further claims.

Fig. 1 zeigt im Querschnitt eine Gelenkarmmarkise, vorzugsweise eine Kassettenmarkise mit einer Konsole 1, die sowohl an der Wand als auch in entsprechender Ausführung an der Decke befestigt werden kann. Im vorliegenden Fall ist eine Deckenbefestigung vorgesehen.Fig. 1 shows in cross section an articulated arm awning, preferably a cassette awning with a bracket 1, which can be attached to the wall as well as in a corresponding design on the ceiling. In the present case, ceiling mounting is provided.

An dieser Konsole 1, von der normalerweise mehrere vorhanden sind, sind Halterungen 2 befestigbar, die an ihrem vorderen Ende (nur angedeutet) Gelenkarme 3 aufweisen. Diese Halterungen sind über Befestigungsmittel 4 und 5 an der Konsole 1 befestigbar. In diese Halterungen kann z.B. eine Kassette 6 mit einem Dach 6a eingesetzt werden, die aus einem biegsamen Material, vorzugsweise einem dünnen Blech, bestehen kann. In der hier nur beispielsweise dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht diese Kassette 6 aus einem Stück. Sie kann jedoch auch aus mehreren, in Umfangsrichtung zusammensetzbaren Teilen bestehen.Holders 2 can be fastened to this console 1, of which several are normally present, and have articulated arms 3 at their front end (only indicated). These brackets can be fastened to the bracket 1 via fastening means 4 and 5. A cassette 6 with a roof 6a, which can be made of a flexible material, preferably a thin sheet, can be inserted into these holders. In the here only shown embodiment, this cassette 6 consists of one piece. However, it can also consist of several parts that can be assembled in the circumferential direction.

Die Halterungen 2 werden dadurch an den Konsolen 1 befestigt, daß Schraubenbolzen 7 in der Konsole 1 in einer Lagerung 7a gelagert sind, die noch im einzelnen gezeigt wird. Auf diesen Schraubenbolzen 7 ist ein Verstellglied, hier eine Mutter 8, aufgeschraubt, die in eine Ausnehmung 9 der Halterungen 2 eingesetzt werden kann.The brackets 2 are attached to the brackets 1 in that bolts 7 are mounted in the bracket 1 in a bearing 7a, which will be shown in detail. An adjusting element, here a nut 8, is screwed onto this screw bolt 7 and can be inserted into a recess 9 in the holders 2.

Die Konsolen 1 weisen an ihren unteren Enden einen hakenförmigen Vorsprung oder eine solche Leiste 10 auf, in die eine entsprechende Leiste 11 der Halterungen 2 einsetzbar ist.The brackets 1 have at their lower ends a hook-shaped projection or such a strip 10, into which a corresponding strip 11 of the brackets 2 can be inserted.

Die Mutter 8 weist an ihrem rückwärtigen, der Konsole 1 zugewanden Ende einen Bund 12 auf, der in eine entsprechende Nut 13 in der Ausnehmung 9 der Halterungen 2 eingreift. Durch Verdrehen der Mutter 8, d.h. durch ein Drehen des Schraubenbolzens 7, kann über die dabei erfolgende Verschiebung der Mutter 8 die Neigung der Halterungen 2 in Bezug auf die Konsolen 1 eingestellt werden.The nut 8 has at its rear end facing the console 1 a collar 12 which engages in a corresponding groove 13 in the recess 9 of the brackets 2. By turning the nut 8, i.e. by rotating the screw bolt 7, the inclination of the brackets 2 with respect to the brackets 1 can be adjusted via the displacement of the nut 8 that occurs.

Die Kassette 6 weist an ihrem äußeren Umfang hakenförmige, T-förmige Vorsprünge oder Leisten auf, die in der Zeichnung mit 14 und 15 bezeichnet sind. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Formgebungen möglich. Mit Hilfe dieser Leisten oder Vorsprünge kann die Kassette 6 in entsprechende hakenförmige Öffnungen 16 oder T-förmige Nuten 17 eingesetzt werden. Dabei sind die Abmessungen so gewählt, daß sich die aus dünnem Material bestehende Kassette eng an die Innenwand der Halterungen 2 anschmiegt.The cassette 6 has hook-shaped, T-shaped projections or strips on its outer circumference, which are designated in the drawing with 14 and 15. Of course, other shapes are also possible. With the help of these strips or projections, the cassette 6 can be inserted into corresponding hook-shaped openings 16 or T-shaped grooves 17. The dimensions are chosen so that the cassette made of thin material clings closely to the inner wall of the brackets 2.

In dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind für die Deckenbefestigung Montageschrauben 18 dargestellt.In the embodiment shown here, mounting screws 18 are shown for ceiling mounting.

Für eine Wandbefestigung ist der obere waagerechte Teil der Konsolen nicht erforderlich. In diesem Fall sind für eine Wandbefestigung Bohrungen 19 vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe und mit den Montageschrauben 18 eine Wandbefestigung möglich ist.The upper horizontal part of the brackets is not required for wall mounting. In this case, holes 19 are provided for a wall mounting, with the help of which and with the mounting screws 18, wall mounting is possible.

In Fig. 2 erkennt man in einer Teilschnittansicht die Befestigung einer Halterung 2 an der Konsole 1 noch deutlicher. Gleiche Teile sind wiederum mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Man sieht jetzt deutlich, wie der Schraubenbolzen 7 mit der aufgesetzten Mutter 8 und deren Bund 12 in die Ausnehmung der Halterung 2 eingreift. Man erkennt ferner die Lagerung 20, die eine Bohrung 21 aufweist, die ggf. für Antriebsmittel verwendbar ist. Außerdem ist die Feststellschraube 23 zu sehen, die in die Halterung 2 eingeschraubt ist.2, the attachment of a holder 2 to the console 1 can be seen even more clearly in a partial sectional view. The same parts are again provided with the same reference numerals. It can now be clearly seen how the screw bolt 7 with the nut 8 and its collar 12 engages in the recess in the holder 2. The bearing 20 can also be seen, which has a bore 21, which can optionally be used for drive means. In addition, the locking screw 23 can be seen, which is screwed into the holder 2.

An sich ist die Halterung 2 innerhalb der Konsole 1 in seitlicher Richtung verschiebbar. Durch Anziehen der Feststellschraube 23 kann einmal die Halterung 2 gegen seitliches Verschieben festgelegt werden. Außerdem wird dadurch bewirkt, daß die Mutter 8 mit ihrem Bund 12 auf dem Schraubenbolzen 7 in ihrem Sitz in der Ausnehmung 9 der Halterung 2 festgeklemmt wird. Durch diese Verspannung der Mutter 8 ist diese am Lösen gehindert.As such, the holder 2 can be moved laterally within the console 1. By tightening the locking screw 23, the holder 2 can be fixed against lateral displacement. In addition, this causes the nut 8 to be clamped with its collar 12 on the screw bolt 7 in its seat in the recess 9 of the holder 2. This bracing of the nut 8 prevents it from loosening.

Dies ist nochmals ganz deutlich aus Fig. 3 in allen Einzelheiten erkennbar. Gleiche Teile sind wiederum mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Feststellschraube 23, die in einer Gewindebohrung 22 der Halterung 2 eingesetzt ist, bewirkt, wenn sie stramm angezogen wird, daß der Bund 12 der Mutter 8 gegen den Rand der Nut 13 angedrückt wird. Dadurch wird diese Mutter auf dem Schraubenbolzen 7 eindeutig festgelegt.This can be seen very clearly from FIG. 3 in all details. The same parts are again provided with the same reference numerals. The locking screw 23, which is inserted into a threaded bore 22 of the holder 2, when tightened tightly, causes the collar 12 of the nut 8 to be pressed against the edge of the groove 13. As a result, this nut is clearly fixed on the screw bolt 7.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine etwas abgewandelte Ausführungsform der Erfindung mit einer Sicherung des Einhängezustandes der Halterungen 2 in die Konsolen 1. Gleiche Teile sind wiederum mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen und bedürfen keiner besonderen Erläuterung.Fig. 4 shows a slightly modified embodiment of the invention with a securing of the hanging state of the brackets 2 in the consoles 1. The same parts are again provided with the same reference numerals and require no special explanation.

An der Konsole 1 bilden Laschen oder Flansche 24, 25 einen nach vorne offenen Kanal, in den, wie in Fig. 1, die Lagerung 20 für den Schraubenbolzen 7 eingeschoben ist. Wie im einzelnen insbesondere aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist, sind in den Flanschen 24 und 25 miteinander fluchtende, mit einem Gewinde versehene Bohrungen vorgesehen, in die eine Feststellschraube 27 eingeschraubt werden kann.On the bracket 1, tabs or flanges 24, 25 form a channel open towards the front, into which, as in FIG. 1, the bearing 20 for the screw bolt 7 is inserted. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 5 in particular, threaded bores are provided in the flanges 24 and 25, into which a locking screw 27 can be screwed.

Die Halterung 2 weist zu diesem Zweck an ihrem rückwärtigen unteren Ende einen etwa waagerecht verlaufenden Anschlag 26, beispielsweise in Form einer Anschlagleiste auf, an der sich die Feststellschraube 27 abstützen kann. Durch Anziehen dieser Feststellschraube läßt sich also ein Ausheben der Halterung 2 aus ihrer Einhängposition verhindern.For this purpose, the holder 2 has at its rear lower end an approximately horizontal stop 26, for example in the form of a stop bar, against which the locking screw 27 can be supported. By tightening this locking screw, lifting the bracket 2 out of its hanging position can be prevented.

Dies ist, wie bereits erwähnt, besonders deutlich aus Fig. 5 zu sehen. Allerdings würde durch diese Konstruktion das Einschieben der verschiebbaren Lagerung 20 nur von einer Seite durchführbar sein.As already mentioned, this can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 5. However, this construction would only allow the sliding bearing 20 to be inserted from one side.

Diese Schwierigkeit wird durch die in den Figuren 6 und 7 gezeigte Konstruktion umgangen.This difficulty is avoided by the construction shown in Figures 6 and 7.

In den durch die Flansche 24 und 25 gebildeten, nach vorne offenen Kanal wird ein Nutstein 29 eingeschoben, der eine nach vorne überstehende Lasche 29a aufweist, in die wiederum die Feststellschraube 27 einschraubbar ist.A slot nut 29 is inserted into the channel, which is formed by the flanges 24 and 25 and is open towards the front, and has a tab 29a which projects forward and into which the locking screw 27 can be screwed.

Als Anschlag für diese Sicherungsschraube oder Feststellschraube 27 ist im rückwärtigen oberen Abschnitt der Halterung 2 ein nach rückwärts gerichteter etwa waagerechter Rücken 30 vorgesehen, an dem die Halterung 2 gegen ein Ausheben gesichert werden kann. Der Nutstein 29 weist an seiner Rückseite eine oder zwei in einer entsprechenden Nut der Flansche 24 bzw. 25 gleitende Leiste auf, die den Nutstein gegen Herausfallen sichert.As a stop for this locking screw or locking screw 27, a rearward approximately horizontal back 30 is provided in the rear upper section of the holder 2, on which the holder 2 can be secured against lifting out. The sliding block 29 has on its back one or two strips sliding in a corresponding groove in the flanges 24 and 25, respectively, which secures the sliding block against falling out.

Der Nutstein 29 kann rieben der Lagerung 20 aus einem gesonderten Teil bestehen. Vorzugsweise wird man aber den Nutstein 29 und die Lagerung 20 für den schwenkbaren und drehbaren Schraubenbolzen 7 aus einem Stück fertigen. Dadurch wird die Konstruktion vereinfacht.The sliding block 29 can rub the bearing 20 from a separate part. Preferably, however, the slot nut 29 and the bearing 20 for the pivotable and rotatable screw bolt 7 will be made in one piece. This simplifies the construction.

In Fig. 7 ist dann eine Einzelheit dargestellt, wie der Schraubenbolzen ebenfalls in eine Ausnehmung der Halterung 2 eingehängt und gesichert werden kann.7 then shows a detail of how the screw bolt can also be hooked into a recess in the holder 2 and secured.

In diesem Fall besteht die Ausnehmung aus zwei Seitenwangen 33. Als auf den Schraubenbolzen 7 aufschraubbares Verstellteil ist hier eine zylinderförmige Führung 31 vorgesehen, die eine quer zur Längsachse der Führung verlaufende Gewindebohrung 32 aufweist, in die der Schraubenbolzen 7 einschraubbar ist. Nach Einhängen des in die Führung 31 eingeschraubten Schraubenbolzens 7 kann dieser durch Einschieben eines Sicherungsstiftes 34 gegen ein Ausheben gesichert werden. Zu diesem Zweck sind in den Seitenwangen 33 Bohrungen vorgesehen, von denen mindestens eine durchgehend sein muß, während die andere auch als Sackloch ausgeführt sein kann. In diese Bohrung wird dann der Sicherungsstift 34 eingeschoben. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß nach Einhängen des mit dem Verstellteil versehenen Schraubenbolzens 7 in die Ausnehmung der Halterung 2 ein Ausheben aus dieser Ausnehmung mit Sicherheit verhindert wird.In this case, the recess consists of two side cheeks 33. As an adjusting part which can be screwed onto the screw bolt 7, a cylindrical guide 31 is provided here, which has a threaded bore 32 which runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the guide and into which the screw bolt 7 can be screwed. After hanging the screw bolt 7 screwed into the guide 31, it can be secured against being lifted out by inserting a locking pin 34. For this purpose, 33 holes are provided in the side walls, at least one of which must be continuous, while the other can also be designed as a blind hole. The locking pin 34 is then inserted into this bore. This ensures that after hooking the screw bolt 7 provided with the adjusting part into the recess of the holder 2, lifting out of this recess is prevented with certainty.

Man sieht also, daß durch die Erfindung eine Gelenkarmmarkise geschaffen wurde, die sich besonders einfach an einer Konsole befestigen läßt, die sich sowohl für Wandbefestigung als auch für Deckenbefestigung eignet. Die dabei verwendeten Halterungen 2 dienen einmal der Aufnahme einer Tuchwelle mit Markisentuch, beispielsweise in Form einer Kassette, und andererseits der Befestigung von Gelenkarmen 3.It can thus be seen that an articulated arm awning was created by the invention, which can be particularly easily attached to a console, which is suitable both for wall mounting and for ceiling mounting. The brackets 2 used here serve on the one hand to accommodate a fabric shaft with an awning fabric, for example in the form of a cassette, and on the other hand to fasten articulated arms 3.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Gelenkarmmarkise, insbesondere der Antriebsmechanismus und weitere Einzelheiten sind, da nicht zur Erfindung gehörend, nicht dargestellt.Further details of the articulated arm awning, in particular the drive mechanism and further details are not shown since they are not part of the invention.
