Definitions
- the invention relates to a guide rod for a sheet of window decorations or shading systems, which can be gathered essentially perpendicular to the guide rod.
- Curtains made of fabric or plastic, but also slat curtains, are suitable as fabrics, which are attached to windows of all kinds, including car windows, for decoration or only as sun protection and can be gathered if necessary.
- Such guide rods are known for example from DE 3 615 349 A1.
- a shirred curtain which has guide rods arranged at intervals perpendicular to the gathering direction. Shirring cords run through the guide rods and are attached at the end to the lowest guide rod. The curtain is gathered or lowered by actuating the gathering cords.
- the function of the guide rods is to achieve a uniform folding of the curtain when gathering. Due to the Velcro connection between the bars and the curtain sheet, the latter can be easily removed from the window for cleaning purposes.
- the shirring cords and guide rods remain at the window and do not need to be unthreaded and re-threaded later.
- window decorations are only suitable for rectangular windows and for vertical window surfaces.
- the guide rods would have to have lateral guide members that run in rails and prevent sagging of the curtain. In the case of a clear inclined position, however, gravity would no longer be sufficient to reduce the friction overcome these guide members when lowering the curtain.
- it would be desirable to decorate other geometric window shapes such as triangles, circles, semicircles, domes, since such shapes are increasingly occurring in modern house construction, especially in so-called winter gardens.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this deficiency of the window decoration known from the above-mentioned publication.
- a guide rod for window decorations of the type mentioned at the outset in that it has two sliders movably mounted on one end of the rod in the longitudinal direction thereof, each having a head which has a rail attached to the window from the free ends C-profile can be engaged that a disc sits on each slide, which is pressed against the head by a compression spring, which is supported on the rod end, and that the slide has an abutment at its end opposite the head, which prevents the Spring pulls the slider out of its bearing at the end of the rod.
- the principle on which the guide rod according to the invention is based is to make the slider by the spring into a clamping piece which fixes the guide rod in any position and permits its displacement only after the clamping force determined by the spring force has been overcome.
- the spring also allows a change in the overall length of the guide rod as part of its stroke, so that the latter can also be moved in non-straight guide rails without jamming.
- Figure 1 shows in section along the axis of a slider one end of a guide rod according to the invention in engagement in a stationary guide rail.
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the guide rod along the line II-II in FIG. 1.

- Figure 4 shows schematically a window decoration for a rectangular window with guide rods according to the invention.
- Figure 5 shows schematically a winter garden dome whose curtain is equipped with the guide rod according to the invention.
- a rail 1 is indicated, which is fixed in place on a window frame, not shown, and, as Figure 3 shows, has a C-shaped cross section.
- the rail is straight or curved, for example in adaptation to a circular, semicircular or dome-like window (FIG. 5).
- a slide 2 slides in this rail, the head 3 of which is engaged behind by the free ends of the profile of the rail 1.
- the slider is in the end piece 4 of a mushroom stick 5, in such a way that it can slide freely in a central hole of the end piece 4 and is prevented by a shoulder 6 from falling out of the end piece 4.
- the end of the slider is provided in the region of the shoulder with a longitudinal slot 7, which gives this end a certain elasticity, so that the slider can be pressed into the end piece while deforming this end and then back into the one shown Original form returns.
- the spring force is adjusted so that the slider is fixed to friction in the rail in the absence of external forces and slides in the rail when external forces are applied, which are transmitted to the slider, for example, by hand or via a so-called throwing rod.
- the slide piece 2 can be made of plastic.
- the actual guide rod 5 can be tubular and can be provided with a mushroom or Velcro structure over its entire lateral surface.
- the mushroom structure is only on one side of the guide rod and consists of a mushroom band strip 10, which is inserted into a metal profile with a U-cross section 11. The free legs of the U-profile are bent back on themselves and clamp the two side edges of the mushroom strip (see Figure 2). This metal profile is pressed into fit cavities of the end piece 4.
- FIG 4 shows a curtain 12, on which loop tapes are sewn or glued, which are connected to the mushroom tapes 10 of guide rods in the manner of a Velcro connection.
- a stationary rail 1 On both sides of the rectangular window runs a stationary rail 1, in which the two ends of the guide rods are guided as shown. It would also not be necessary for all of the guide rods to have the sliders according to the invention. In the borderline case, only the lowest management staff could be equipped with it so that the curtain could be easily opened and closed by moving this guide rod by hand or using a so-called sling rod (not shown).
- the curtain stops at any height, but no spring roller mechanism is required.
- the guide rod according to the invention can also be used advantageously as a replacement for a spring roller blind for decorating a vertical and rectangular window. If it is an inclined roof window, then several or all guide rods will be designed according to the invention, so that an unsightly sagging of the fabric is prevented.
- Figure 5 finally shows an application in a circular dome of a winter garden.
- the guide rods run between two circular and concentric rails 13 and 14, the curtain being gathered in the right part of the figure and closed in the left part.
- the slider is movable in the direction of the axis of the rod so that the total length of the guide rod adapts to different distances between the rails within certain limits. These different distances may be due to the assembly, but may also result from an inexact operation by which the rod is displaced from its basically radial position.
- the application is similar to that of a dome Decoration of a window with a semicircular upper edge. This semi-circular area can then be decorated in the same way as was shown for a dome with reference to FIG.
- the invention is not restricted to the preferred exemplary embodiment shown.
- the rod can also be attached to the fabric in a manner other than by means of a Velcro connection.
- the sheet, i.e. the curtain track, pockets can be sewn in through which the guide rods are inserted.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Führungsstab für ein Flächengebilde von Fensterdekorationen oder Beschattungssystemen, das im wesentlichen senkrecht zum Führungsstab raffbar ist.The invention relates to a guide rod for a sheet of window decorations or shading systems, which can be gathered essentially perpendicular to the guide rod.
Als Flächengebilde kommen Vorhänge aus Stoff oder Kunststoff, aber auch Lamellenvorhänge in Betracht, die zur Dekoration oder nur als Sonnenschutz an Fenstern aller Art, auch Autofenstern, angebracht sind und bei Bedarf gerafft werden können.Curtains made of fabric or plastic, but also slat curtains, are suitable as fabrics, which are attached to windows of all kinds, including car windows, for decoration or only as sun protection and can be gathered if necessary.
Derartige Führungsstäbe sind beispielsweise aus der DE 3 615 349 A1 bekannt. Dort handelt es sich um einen Raffvorhang, der in Abständen senkrecht zur Raffrichtung angeordnete Führungsstäbe aufweist. Raffschnüre verlaufen durch die Führungsstäbe und sind endseitig am untersten Führungsstab befestigt. Der Vorhang wird durch Betätigen der Raffschnüre gerafft beziehungsweise heruntergelassen. Die Funktion der Führungsstäbe ist es, eine gleichmäßige Faltung des Vorhangs beim Raffen zu erzielen. Aufgrund der Klettverbindung zwischen den Stäben und der Vorhangbahn kann letztere vom Fenster zu Reinigungszwecken leicht abgenommen werden. Die Raffschnüre und Führungsstäbe bleiben dabei am Fenster und brauchen hierzu nicht ausgefädelt und später wieder eingefädelt zu werden.Such guide rods are known for example from DE 3 615 349 A1. There it is a shirred curtain which has guide rods arranged at intervals perpendicular to the gathering direction. Shirring cords run through the guide rods and are attached at the end to the lowest guide rod. The curtain is gathered or lowered by actuating the gathering cords. The function of the guide rods is to achieve a uniform folding of the curtain when gathering. Due to the Velcro connection between the bars and the curtain sheet, the latter can be easily removed from the window for cleaning purposes. The shirring cords and guide rods remain at the window and do not need to be unthreaded and re-threaded later.
Derartige Fensterdekorationen eignen sich nur für rechteckige Fenster und für senkrechte Fensterflächen. Für sogenannte Dachliegefenster müßten die Führungsstäbe seitliche Führungsglieder besitzen, die in Schienen laufen und ein Durchhängen des Vorhangs verhindern. Bei deutlicher Schräglage würde dann aber die Schwerkraft nicht mehr ausreichen, um die Reibung dieser Führungsglieder beim Herunterlassen des Vorhangs zu überwinden. Andererseits wäre es erwünscht auch andere geometrische Fensterformen wie Dreiecke, Kreise, Halbkreise, Kuppeln zu dekorieren, da solche Formen im modernen Hausbau, insbesondere in sogenannten Wintergärten zunehmend auftreten.Such window decorations are only suitable for rectangular windows and for vertical window surfaces. For so-called roof windows, the guide rods would have to have lateral guide members that run in rails and prevent sagging of the curtain. In the case of a clear inclined position, however, gravity would no longer be sufficient to reduce the friction overcome these guide members when lowering the curtain. On the other hand, it would be desirable to decorate other geometric window shapes such as triangles, circles, semicircles, domes, since such shapes are increasingly occurring in modern house construction, especially in so-called winter gardens.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es diesen Mangel der aus der oben genannten Druckschrift bekannten Fensterdekoration zu beseitigen. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Führungsstab für Fensterdekorationen der eingangs genannten Art dadurch erreicht, daß er zwei an je einem Ende des Stabes in dessen Längsrichtung beweglich gelagerte Gleitstücke aufweist, die je einen Kopf besitzen, der von den freien Enden einer ortsfest am Fenster befestigten Schiene mit C-Profil hintergriffen werden kann, daß eine Scheibe auf jedem Gleitstück sitzt, die von einer Druckfeder gegen den Kopf gedrückt wird, welche sich am Stabende abstützt, und daß das Gleitstück an seinem dem Kopf entgegengesetzten Ende ein Widerlager besitzt, das verhindert, daß die Feder das Gleitstück aus seinem Lager am Ende des Stabes herauszieht.The object of the invention is to remedy this deficiency of the window decoration known from the above-mentioned publication. This is achieved according to the invention by a guide rod for window decorations of the type mentioned at the outset in that it has two sliders movably mounted on one end of the rod in the longitudinal direction thereof, each having a head which has a rail attached to the window from the free ends C-profile can be engaged that a disc sits on each slide, which is pressed against the head by a compression spring, which is supported on the rod end, and that the slide has an abutment at its end opposite the head, which prevents the Spring pulls the slider out of its bearing at the end of the rod.
Das dem erfindungsgemäßen Führungsstab zugrundeliegende Prinzip besteht darin, das Gleitstück durch die Feder zu einem Klemmstück zu machen, das den Führungsstab in jeder beliebigen Stellung fixiert und seine Verschiebung erst nach Überwindung der durch die Federkraft bestimmten Klemmkraft zuläßt. Die Feder erlaubt im Rahmen ihres Hubs auch eine Veränderung der Gesamtlänge des Führungsstabs, sodaß letzterer auch in nicht geradlinigen Führungsschienen ohne Verklemmen verschoben werden kann.The principle on which the guide rod according to the invention is based is to make the slider by the spring into a clamping piece which fixes the guide rod in any position and permits its displacement only after the clamping force determined by the spring force has been overcome. The spring also allows a change in the overall length of the guide rod as part of its stroke, so that the latter can also be moved in non-straight guide rails without jamming.
Bezüglich bevorzugter Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Führungsstabes wird auf die Unteransprüche verwiesen.With regard to preferred embodiments of the guide rod according to the invention, reference is made to the subclaims.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform mithilfe der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention is described below on the basis of a preferred embodiment explained in more detail using the drawings.
Figur 1 zeigt im Schnitt entlang der Achse eines Gleitstücks ein Ende eines erfindungsgemäßen Führungsstabs im Eingriff in einer ortsfesten Führungsschiene.Figure 1 shows in section along the axis of a slider one end of a guide rod according to the invention in engagement in a stationary guide rail.
Figur 2 zeigt einen Schnitt durch den Führungsstab entlang der Linie II-II in Figur 1.FIG. 2 shows a section through the guide rod along the line II-II in FIG. 1.
Figur 3 zeigt einen Orthogonalschnitt durch den Führungsstab gemäß Figur 1 entlang der Schnittlinie III-III.FIG. 3 shows an orthogonal section through the guide rod according to FIG. 1 along the section line III-III.
Figur 4 zeigt schematisch eine Fensterdekoration für ein rechteckiges Fenster mit erfindungsgemäßen Führungsstäben.Figure 4 shows schematically a window decoration for a rectangular window with guide rods according to the invention.
Figur 5 zeigt schematisch eine Wintergartenkuppel deren Vorhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Führungsstab ausgerüstet ist.Figure 5 shows schematically a winter garden dome whose curtain is equipped with the guide rod according to the invention.
In Figur 1 und 3 ist eine Schiene 1 angedeutet, die ortsfest an einem nicht dargestellten Fensterrahmen befestigt ist und, wie Figur 3 zeigt, einen C-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist. Die Schiene ist geradlinig oder auch gekrümmt, etwa in Anpassung an ein kreisförmiges, halbkreisförmiges oder domartiges Fenster (Figur 5).In Figures 1 and 3, a rail 1 is indicated, which is fixed in place on a window frame, not shown, and, as Figure 3 shows, has a C-shaped cross section. The rail is straight or curved, for example in adaptation to a circular, semicircular or dome-like window (FIG. 5).
In dieser Schiene gleitet ein Gleitstück 2, dessen Kopf 3 von den freien Enden des Profils der Schiene 1 hintergriffen wird. Das Gleitstück steckt im Endstück 4 eines Pilzstabs 5, und zwar derart, daß es in einem zentralen Loch des Endstücks 4 frei gleiten kann und durch eine Schulter 6 daran gehindert wird, aus dem Endstück 4 herauszufallen. Das Ende des Gleitstücks ist im Bereich der Schulter mit einem Längsschlitz 7 versehen, das diesem Ende eine gewisse Elastizität verleiht, so daß das Gleitstück in das Endstück unter Verformung dieses Endes hineingedrückt werden kann und dann wieder in die gezeichnete Ursprungsform zurückkehrt.A
Auf dem Gleitstück 2 sitzt eine Scheibe 8 aus Kunststoff oder Metall, z.B. Stahl, sowie eine Feder 9 die sich einerseits auf der Scheibe 8 und andererseits auf der Stirnseite des Endstücks 4 abstützt. Sie drückt die Scheibe 8 gegen den Kopf, bzw. gegen die freien Enden des Schienenprofils, wenn das Gleitstück sich wie dargestellt in der Schiene 1 befindet. Die Federkraft wird so eingestellt, daß das Gleitstück in Abwesenheit äußerer Kräfte auf Reibung in der Schiene fixiert ist und bei Anwendung äußerer Kräfte, die beispielsweise von Hand oder über einen sogenannten Schleuderstab auf das Gleitstück übertragen werden, in der Schiene gleitet.A
Das Gleitstück 2 kann ebenso wie das Endstück 4 des Stabs aus Kunststoff sein. Der eigentliche Führungsstab 5 kann rohrförmig ausgebildet sein und auf seiner gesamten Mantelfläche mit einer Pilz- oder Klettstruktur versehen sein. In dem hier gewählten Beispiel befindet sich die Pilzstruktur nur auf einer Seite des Führungsstabs und besteht aus einem Pilzbandstreifen 10, der in ein Metallprofil mit U-Querschnitt 11 eingesetzt ist. Dabei sind die freien Schenkel des U-Profils nach außen auf sich selbst zurückgebogen und klemmen die beiden Seitenränder des Pilzbandstreifens ein (siehe Figur 2). Dieses Metallprofil wird in auf Passung gearbeitete Hohlräume des Endstücks 4 hineingedrückt.Like the end piece 4 of the rod, the
Figur 4 zeigt einen Vorhang 12, auf den Schlaufenbänder aufgenäht oder aufgeklebt sind, die mit den Pilzbändern 10 von Führungsstäben nach Art einer Klettverbindung verbunden sind. Zu beiden Seiten des rechteckigen Fensters verläuft je eine ortsfeste Schiene 1, in der die beiden Enden der Führungsstäbe wie dargelegt geführt sind. Es bräuchten auch nicht alle Führungsstäbe die erfindungsgemäßen Gleitstücke zu besitzen. Im Grenzfall könnte nur der unterste Führungsstab damit ausgerüstet sein, so daß sich der Vorhang leicht durch Bewegen dieses Führungsstabs von Hand oder mithilfe eines (nicht dargestellten) sogenannten Schleuderstabs öffnen und schließen ließe. Wie bei einem Springrollo bleibt der Vorhang in jeder beliebigen Höhe stehen, wobei jedoch kein Springrollomechanismus erforderlich ist.Figure 4 shows a
Dieses Beispiel zeigt. daß der erfindungsgemäße Führungsstab auch mit Vorteil zur Dekoration eines senkrechten und rechtwinkligen Fensters als Ersatz für ein Springrollo verwendet werden kann. Handelt es sich um ein schrägliegendes Dachfenster, dann werden mehrere oder alle Führungsstäbe erfindungsgemäß ausgebildet sein, so daß ein unschönes Durchhängen der Stoffbahn verhindert wird.This example shows. that the guide rod according to the invention can also be used advantageously as a replacement for a spring roller blind for decorating a vertical and rectangular window. If it is an inclined roof window, then several or all guide rods will be designed according to the invention, so that an unsightly sagging of the fabric is prevented.
Figur 5 schließlich zeigt einen Anwendungsfall bei einer kreisförmigen Kuppel eines Wintergartens. Hier verlaufen die Führungsstäbe zwischen zwei kreisförmigen und konzentrischen Schienen 13 und 14, wobei im rechten Teil der Figur der Vorhang gerafft ist und im linken Teil geschlossen. In diesem Anwendungsfall ist es besonders wichtig, daß das Gleitstück in Richtung der Achse des Stabes beweglich ist, so daß die Gesamtlänge des Führungsstabs sich unterschiedlichen Abständen zwischen den Schienen in gewissen Grenzen anpaßt. Diese unterschiedlichen Abstände mögen montagebedingt sein, können sich aber auch durch eine ungenaue Bedienung ergeben, durch die der Stab aus seiner im Prinzip radialen Lage versetzt wird. Diese ungenaue Bedienung führt also nicht zu einem Verklemmen, zumal der Kopf 3 des Gleitstücks nur durch die Kraft der Feder 9 in eine zur Scheibe 8 parallele Lage gedrückt wird und somit auch schräg in der Führungsschiene sitzen kann, ohne daß die Verschiebbarkeit des Führungsstabs dadurch beeinträchtigt wäre.Figure 5 finally shows an application in a circular dome of a winter garden. Here the guide rods run between two circular and
Einen ähnlichen Anwendungsfall wie bei einer Kuppel bildet die Dekoration eines Fensters mit halbkreisförmigem oberen Rand. Dann kann dieser halbkreisförmige Bereich ebenso dekoriert werden, wie anhand von Figur 5 für eine Kuppel gezeigt wurde.The application is similar to that of a dome Decoration of a window with a semicircular upper edge. This semi-circular area can then be decorated in the same way as was shown for a dome with reference to FIG.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So kann der Stab auch auf andere Weise als mittels Klettverbindung auf dem Flächengebilde befestigt sein. Insbesondere können in das Flächengebilde, d.h. die Vorhangbahn, Taschen eingenäht sein, durch die die Führungsstäbe gesteckt werden.The invention is not restricted to the preferred exemplary embodiment shown. The rod can also be attached to the fabric in a manner other than by means of a Velcro connection. In particular, the sheet, i.e. the curtain track, pockets can be sewn in through which the guide rods are inserted.
