  • a cord branch is guided in a circular arc through the pleated blind in the upper, triangular area.
  • a first cord that engages the middle rail is also guided in a circular arc through the pleated blind to the head rail.
  • the cord branch which runs in the form of a circular arc and runs through openings in the pleated blind over a considerably longer distance, has a significantly greater frictional force than the other branch of the cord.

This is done by pulling the end of the first cord that ends in the head rail, which has to overcome considerable frictional forces, since it has to be pulled through the openings in the pleated blind. It also exerts undesirable forces on the pleated blind due to its circular-arc guidance in the radial direction.
  • the actively operated cords only act on the lower bar.
  • the middle rail is pivoted passively when the bottom rail has reached the middle rail with the part of the blind located below the middle rail when the curtain is pulled up. This is supported by a cord that acts on the middle rail and is under spring tension.

  • the lifting force for pivoting the central rail relative to the head rail is therefore transmitted to the central rail by deflecting the first cord. Since the drive movement for pivoting the middle rail acts on the end of the first cord which is deflected on the middle rail and leads away from the openings of the curtain, the cord region guided through the curtain only serves to guide the curtain when it is pulled up and brings about a clean folding or gathering thereof. Because of the deflection of the first cord on the middle rail, only a reduced tensile force has to be transmitted via this arc-shaped cord region. In addition, there are hardly any frictional forces, since when the curtain is pulled up, it slides along this cord and it does not have to be pulled through the pleated blind, as is the case with the curtain known from DE 89 03 471 U1.

Abstract

Blind for a triangular and trapezoidal surface, having a top head rail (1) and a central rail (2), which both delimit an essentially triangular blind region (4) when the blind has been lowered, it being possible to raise and lower the central rail (2), while pivoting, with respect to the head rail (1), about the point of the triangle which is common to the two rails (1, 2), by means of a first cord (7) guided through openings or loops on or in the blind. In order to simplify operation and to reduce the friction resistances, said blind is distinguished in that the fixed end of the first cord (7) is fastened on the head rail (1) or, after having been deflected on the head rail (1), on the central rail (2) in the vicinity of the point of the triangle common to the two rails (1, 2), and in that that end of the first cord (7) on which the drive movement acts is deflected on the central rail.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behang für eine dreieckige oder trapezförmige Fläche, mit einer oberen Kopfschiene und einer Mittelschiene, die einen im herabgelassenen Zustand des Behangs im wesentlichen dreieckigen Behangbereich begrenzen, wobei die Mittelschiene unter Schwenkung um die den beiden Schienen gemeinsame Dreieckspitze gegenüber der Kopfschiene mittels einer durch Öffnungen in dem Behang geführten ersten Schnur heb- und senkbar ist.The invention relates to a curtain for a triangular or trapezoidal surface, with an upper head rail and a central rail, which delimit a substantially triangular curtain area in the lowered state of the curtain, the central rail pivoting about the triangle tip common to the two rails relative to the head rail by means of a can be raised and lowered through openings in the curtain.

Solche Behänge dienen zum Verschatten von nicht rechteckigen, insbesondere dreieckigen oder trapezförmigen Fensterflächen. Der Behang selbst besteht üblicherweise aus einem textilen Material, das plisseeartig gefaltet ist. Bekannt sind auch Behänge, die übereinander angeordnete Jalousielamellen aufweisen. Die Kopfschiene eines solchen Behangs ist an der schrägen Oberkante der Fensteröffnung befestigt. Im herabgelassenen Zustand des Behangs hängt dieser von der Kopfschiene herab, wobei die dabei waagerecht herabhängende Mittelschiene einen im wesentlichen dreieckigen Bereich, in dem der Plisseebehang fächerförmig aufgefaltet ist, nach unten abschließt. Die Kopfschiene und die Mittelschiene bilden dabei zwei Schenkel eines Dreiecks. Unterhalb der Mittelschiene kann sich ein weiterer, im wesentlichen rechteckiger Behangsbereich anschließen, der an seinem unteren Ende von einer Unterleiste begrenzt ist.Such curtains serve to shade non-rectangular, in particular triangular or trapezoidal window surfaces. The curtain itself usually consists of a textile material that is pleated like a pleat. Curtains are also known which have blind slats arranged one above the other. The head rail of such a curtain is attached to the sloping upper edge of the window opening. In the lowered state of the curtain, it hangs from the head rail, the horizontally hanging central rail having an essentially triangular area in which the pleated blind is folded out fan-shaped, closes at the bottom. The head rail and the middle rail form two legs of a triangle. A further, essentially rectangular curtain area, which is delimited at its lower end by a lower bar, can follow below the central rail.

Ein aus DE 89 03 471 U1 bekannter Plisseebehang weist zwei an der Unterleiste angreifende zweite Schnüre auf, die durch Öffnungen im Plisseebehang zur Kopfschiene geführt sind. Ein Schnurzweig ist dabei im oberen, dreieckigen Bereich kreisbogenförmig durch den Plisseebehang geführt. Eine an der Mittelschiene angreifende erste Schnur ist ebenfalls kreisbogenförmig durch den Plisseebehang zur Kopfschiene geführt. Beim Hochziehen der Unterleiste zur Mittelschiene mittels der beiden zweiten Schnüre müssen diese durch die Öffnungen im Plisseebehang hindurchgezogen werden. Dabei wirkt auf den kreisbogenförmig geführten Schnurzweig, der ja auch auf einer erheblich längeren Strecke durch Öffnungen im Plisseebehang verläuft, eine deutlich größere Reibungskraft als auf den anderen Zweig der Schnur. Dies erschwert ein gleichmäßiges Hochziehen und Herablassen des unteren rechteckigen Teils der Abdeckung. Beim vollständigen Hochziehen der Abdeckung wird die Mittelschiene zusammen mit der hochgezogenen Unterleiste in Parallelstellung zur Kopfschiene geschwenkt. Dies geschieht durch Ziehen an dem in der Kopfschiene mündenden Ende der ersten Schnur, die dabei erhebliche Reibungskräfte zu überwinden hat, da sie durch die Öffnungen im Plisseebehang hindurchgezogen werden muß. Sie übt zudem aufgrund ihrer kreisbogenförmigen Führung in Radialrichtung unerwünschte Kräfte auf den Plisseebehang aus.A pleated blind known from DE 89 03 471 U1 has two second cords which engage on the lower bar and which are guided through openings in the pleated blind to the headrail. A cord branch is guided in a circular arc through the pleated blind in the upper, triangular area. A first cord that engages the middle rail is also guided in a circular arc through the pleated blind to the head rail. When pulling up the lower bar to the middle rail using the two second cords, these must be pulled through the openings in the pleated blind. The cord branch, which runs in the form of a circular arc and runs through openings in the pleated blind over a considerably longer distance, has a significantly greater frictional force than the other branch of the cord. This makes it difficult to pull the lower rectangular part of the cover evenly up and down. When the cover is pulled up completely, the middle rail is pivoted together with the raised lower bar in a parallel position to the head rail. This is done by pulling the end of the first cord that ends in the head rail, which has to overcome considerable frictional forces, since it has to be pulled through the openings in the pleated blind. It also exerts undesirable forces on the pleated blind due to its circular-arc guidance in the radial direction.

Bei dem aus DE 91 11 586 U bekannten Plisseebehang greifen die aktiv betätigten Schnüre lediglich an der Unterleiste an. Die Mittelschiene wird passiv verschwenkt, wenn beim Hochziehen des Behangs die Unterschiene mit dem unterhalb der Mittelschiene befindlichen Behangteil die Mittelschiene erreicht hat. Dies wird unterstützt durch eine an der Mittelschiene angreifende, unter Federzugspannung stehende Schnur.In the case of the pleated blind known from DE 91 11 586 U, the actively operated cords only act on the lower bar. The middle rail is pivoted passively when the bottom rail has reached the middle rail with the part of the blind located below the middle rail when the curtain is pulled up. This is supported by a cord that acts on the middle rail and is under spring tension.

Für den Trapezbehang gemäß DE-A 40 37 263 sind gesonderte Schnüre zum Hochziehen des rechteckigen und des dreieckigen Behangteils vorgesehen. Der trapezförmige Lamellenbehang gemäß DE-A 32 05 354 kommt ohne Mittelschiene aus. Zwei den beiden Seitenrändern zugeordnete Hebeschnürre sind lediglich an der Unterschiene befestigt, die teleskopisch ausziehbar ist, um sich im angehobenen Zustand der größeren Länge der vom Dreieckteil des Behangs gebildeten Oberkante anpassen zu können.For the trapezoidal curtain according to DE-A 40 37 263, separate cords are provided for pulling up the rectangular and the triangular curtain parts. The trapezoidal slatted curtain according to DE-A 32 05 354 does not require a central rail. Two lifting cords assigned to the two side edges are only attached to the lower rail, which can be telescopically extended in order to be able to adapt to the greater length of the upper edge formed by the triangular part of the curtain in the raised state.

Die EP-A 240 065 zeigt einen Dreiecksbehang, dessen Unterschiene durch eine Schnur anhebbar ist, die mehrfach in der Ober- und Unterschiene umgelenkt und auf zum Schwenkpunkt konzentrischen Kreisbögen durch den Behang geführt ist.EP-A 240 065 shows a triangular curtain, the lower rail of which can be raised by a cord which is deflected several times in the upper and lower rail and is guided through the curtain on circular arcs concentric to the pivot point.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behang der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der einfach zu bedienen ist und bei dessen Betätigung nur geringe Reibungskräfte zu überwinden sind.The invention has for its object to provide a curtain of the type mentioned, which is easy to use and when operating only low friction forces can be overcome.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß das feste Ende der ersten Schnur an der Kopfschiene oder nach Umlenkung an der Kopfschiene nahe der den beiden Schienen gemeinsamen Dreieckspitze an der Mittelschiene befestigt ist und daß das Ende der ersten Schnur, an dem die Antriebsbewegung angreift, an der Mittelschiene umgelenkt ist.The invention solves this problem in that the fixed end of the first cord is attached to the head rail or after deflection on the head rail near the triangle tip common to the two rails on the central rail and in that the end of the first cord, to which the drive movement engages, is attached to the middle rail is deflected.

Erfindungsgemäß wird also die Hubkraft zum Verschwenken der Mittelschiene gegenüber der Kopfschiene durch Umlenkung der ersten Schnur an der Mittelschiene auf dieselbe übertragen. Da die Antriebsbewegung zum Verschwenken der Mittelschiene an dem an der Mittelschiene umgelenkten und von den Öffnungen des Behangs wegführenden Ende der ersten Schnur angreift, dient der bogenförmig durch den Behang geführte Schnurbereich lediglich der Führung des Behangs beim Hochziehen und bewirkt ein sauberes Zusammenfalten oder Raffen desselben. Aufgrund der Umlenkung der ersten Schnur an der Mittelschiene muß über diesen bogenförmig geführten Schnurbereich auch nur noch eine verringerte Zugkraft übertragen werden. Zudem treten kaum Reibungskräfte auf, da sich beim Hochziehen der Behang entlang dieser Schnur aufschiebt und diese nicht etwa, wie bei dem aus DE 89 03 471 U1 bekannten Behang, durch den Plisseebehang hindurchgezogen werden muß.According to the invention, the lifting force for pivoting the central rail relative to the head rail is therefore transmitted to the central rail by deflecting the first cord. Since the drive movement for pivoting the middle rail acts on the end of the first cord which is deflected on the middle rail and leads away from the openings of the curtain, the cord region guided through the curtain only serves to guide the curtain when it is pulled up and brings about a clean folding or gathering thereof. Because of the deflection of the first cord on the middle rail, only a reduced tensile force has to be transmitted via this arc-shaped cord region. In addition, there are hardly any frictional forces, since when the curtain is pulled up, it slides along this cord and it does not have to be pulled through the pleated blind, as is the case with the curtain known from DE 89 03 471 U1.

Der Begriff "Behang" in den Ansprüchen und in der Beschreibung soll Plisseestores (Faltenvorhänge), Jalousien mit übereinander angeordneten Lamellen und Raffrollos umfassen. Diesen Behangarten ist gemeinsam, daß beim Hochziehen der Behangstoff sauber aufgefaltet bzw. die Lamellen sauber übereinandergelegt werden müssen. Zu diesem Zweck ist, wie weiter oben schon beschrieben, die erste Schnur durch Öffnungen in dem Behangmaterial geführt. Diese Führungsöffnungen sind üblicherweise Löcher in dem Behangmaterial, sie können aber beispielsweise auch als am Behang angeordnete Schlaufen ausgebildet sein.The term "curtain" in the claims and in the description is intended to include pleated blinds (pleated blinds), blinds with slats arranged one above the other and Roman blinds. These types of curtains have in common that when the curtain is pulled up, the curtain material must be unfolded cleanly or the slats must be placed neatly on top of each other. For this purpose, as already described above, the first cord is passed through openings in the curtain material. These guide openings are usually holes in the curtain material, but they can, for example, also be designed as loops arranged on the curtain.

Der Begriff "Schnur" in den Ansprüchen und in der Beschreibung soll jedes geeignete Mittel zur Übertragung von Zugkräften umfassen, beispielsweise auch Ketten, Drähte oder Ähnliches. Die Begriffe "Kopfschiene", "Mittelschiene" und "Unterleiste" in den Ansprüchen und der Beschreibung sollen alle Einrichtungen umfassen, die zur Halterung oder Begrenzung der jeweiligen Bereiche des Behangs geeignet sind. Beispielsweise kann bei einer Lamellenjalousie auch die unterste Lamelle als Unterleiste ausgebildet sein.The term "cord" in the claims and in the description is intended to be any suitable means of transmitting tensile forces include, for example, chains, wires or the like. The terms "head rail", "middle rail" and "bottom bar" in the claims and the description are intended to encompass all devices which are suitable for holding or limiting the respective areas of the curtain. For example, in the case of a slatted blind, the lowest slat can also be designed as a lower bar.

Das durch die Öffnungen des Behangs zur Kopfschiene geführte feste Ende der ersten Schnur kann an dieser Kopfschiene befestigt sein. Kopf- und Mittelschiene sind dann an der ihnen gemeinsamen Dreiecksspitze beispielsweise durch ein Gelenk schwenkbar miteinander verbunden.The fixed end of the first cord guided through the openings of the curtain to the head rail can be fastened to this head rail. The head and middle rails are then pivotally connected to one another at the triangle tip common to them, for example by means of a joint.

Eine andere, besonders einfache und kostengünstige Verbindung von Kopf- und Mittelschiene im Bereich ihrer gemeinsamen Dreiecksspitze besteht darin, daß das feste Ende der ersten Schnur an der Kopfschiene umgelenkt, zum mit der Mittelschiene zu verbindenden Endbereich der Kopfschiene geführt, dort nochmals umgelenkt und an der Mittelschiene befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise ist ebenfalls eine schwenkbare Verbindung zwischen Kopf- und Mittelschiene sichergestellt. Ein an der Kopfschiene angeordneter Stopper kann bewirken daß sich die Mittelschiene in diesem Endbereich gegenüber der Kopfschiene nicht über ein vorbestimmtes Maß hinaus absenken läßt.Another, particularly simple and inexpensive connection of head and middle rail in the area of their common triangle tip is that the fixed end of the first cord is deflected on the head rail, led to the end region of the head rail to be connected to the central rail, redirected there again and on the Middle rail is attached. In this way, a pivotable connection between the head and center rails is also ensured. A stopper arranged on the head rail can have the effect that the middle rail in this end region cannot be lowered beyond a predetermined amount relative to the head rail.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das an der Mittelschiene umgelenkte Ende der ersten Schnur, an dem die Antriebsbewegung angreift, frei zu einem im Bereich der Kopfschiene angeordneten Umlenk- oder Befestigungspunkt geführt. Der Begriff "frei" bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, daß auf diesen frei geführten Schnurbereich beim Hochziehen oder Herablassen des Behangs keinerlei Reibungskräfte (außer am oberen und unteren Umlenkpunkt der Schnur) wirken.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the end of the first cord which is deflected on the middle rail and on which the drive movement engages, is freely guided to a deflection or fastening point arranged in the region of the head rail. In this context, the term "free" means that no frictional forces (except at the upper and lower deflection point of the line) act on this freely guided line area when the curtain is pulled up or lowered.

Der erfindungsgemäße Behang kann lediglich einen im wesentlichen dreieckigen Bereich umfassen, der dann von Kopf- und Mittelschiene eingegrenzt ist. Im Regelfall wird jedoch zusätzlich unterhalb dieses dreieckigen Bereichs ein im wesentlichen rechteckiger Bereich angeordnet sein, dessen unteres Ende von einer Unterleiste begrenzt ist, wobei an der Unterleiste mindestens eine zweite Schnur kraftübertragend angreift, um den im wesentlichen rechteckigen Bereich hochziehen und herablassen zu können. Behänge mit einem solchen zusätzlichen rechteckigen Bereich sind grundsätzlich im Stand der Technik bekannt (DE 89 03 471 U1).The curtain according to the invention can only comprise a substantially triangular area, which is then of the head and Middle rail is limited. As a rule, however, an essentially rectangular area will also be arranged below this triangular area, the lower end of which is delimited by a lower bar, at least one second cord acting on the lower bar in a force-transmitting manner in order to be able to pull up and lower the substantially rectangular area. Blinds with such an additional rectangular area are basically known in the prior art (DE 89 03 471 U1).

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Behang mit einem zusätzlichen rechteckigen, von Mittelschiene und Unterleiste begrenzten Bereich ist nun vorteilhafterweise die zweite Schnur zum Hochziehen des rechteckigen Bereichs von der Unterleiste durch Öffnungen in dem Behang hindurch zur Mittelschiene geführt, dort umgelenkt und aus einem Endbereich der Mittelschiene heraus zu einem weiteren Umlenk- bzw. Befestigungspunkt geführt. Die zweite Schnur muß somit beim Hochziehen der Unterleiste nicht durch die Löcher in dem von Kopf- und Mittelschiene begrenzten dreieckigen Teil des Behangs hindurchgezogen werden, so daß erheblich geringere Reibungskräfte auftreten. Zur Führung der zweiten Schnur zum Endbereich der Mittelschiene ist diese vorteilhafterweise als Hohlprofil ausgeführt. Diese erfindungsgemäße Führung der zweiten Schnur kann auch bei einem Behang vorgesehen sein, dessen erste Schnur nicht gemäß den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 1 und 2 geführt ist.In the case of the curtain according to the invention with an additional rectangular area delimited by the middle rail and lower bar, the second cord for pulling up the rectangular area from the lower bar is now advantageously led through openings in the curtain to the middle rail, deflected there and out of an end area of the middle rail to one led another deflection or attachment point. The second cord thus does not have to be pulled through the holes in the triangular part of the curtain delimited by the head and middle rails when the lower bar is pulled up, so that considerably lower frictional forces occur. To guide the second cord to the end region of the middle rail, it is advantageously designed as a hollow profile. This inventive guiding of the second cord can also be provided for a curtain, the first cord of which is not guided according to the features of claims 1 and 2.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird die zweite Schnur aus dem Endbereich der Mittelschiene, in dem Kopf- und Mittelschiene miteinander schwenkbar verbunden sind, herausgeführt und durch an der Kopfschiene angeordnete Führungen hindurch zu einem im Bereich er Kopfschiene benachbart dem Umlenk- bzw. Befestigungspunkt für die erste Schnur angeordneten Umlenk- bzw. Befestigungspunkt geführt. Als Führung dient hier zweckmäßigerweise die als Hohlprofil ausgebildete Kopfschiene. Die benachbarte Anordnung von Umlenk- bzw. Befestigungspunkten für die erste und die zweite Schnur vereinfacht die Betätigung des erfindungsgemäßen Behangs.The second cord is expediently led out of the end region of the center rail, in which the head and center rails are pivotally connected to one another, and through guides arranged on the head rail to a deflector arranged in the region of the head rail adjacent to the deflection or fastening point for the first cord - or attachment point. The head rail designed as a hollow profile expediently serves as a guide here. The adjacent arrangement of deflection or attachment points for the first and the second cord simplifies the operation of the curtain according to the invention.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind die beiden aus den benachbarten Umlenkpunkten herausgeführten Enden der ersten und zweiten Schnur miteinander zu einer mit einem Gewicht beschwerten Schlaufe verbunden. Zusätzliche Stopper an den Umlenkpunkten können das Herablassen des Behangs begrenzen. Bei richtiger Auswahl der Masse des Gewichts kann so der Behang stufenlos in jede Stellung gebracht werden und wird dort durch die in den Schnurführungen auftretenden Reibungskräfte gehalten. Die Verbindung der Enden der ersten und zweiten Schnur zu einer Schlaufe erleichtert auch nochmals die Betätigung des Behangs, da so durch Ziehen bzw. Hochheben eines einzigen Gewichts sowohl sein rechteckiger als auch sein dreieckiger Teil vollständig geöffnet bzw. geschlossen werden können.The two ends of the first and second cords, which are led out of the adjacent deflection points, are expediently connected to one another to form a weighted loop. Additional stoppers at the deflection points can limit the lowering of the curtain. With the correct selection of the mass of the weight, the curtain can be brought continuously into any position and is held there by the frictional forces occurring in the line guides. The connection of the ends of the first and second cords to a loop also facilitates the actuation of the curtain again, since both its rectangular and its triangular part can be completely opened or closed by pulling or lifting a single weight.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. Darin zeigen:

Fig.1
den Behang im herabgelassenen Zustand;
Fig.2
den Behang im hochgezogenen Zustand.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. In it show:
Fig. 1
the curtain in the lowered state;
Fig. 2
the curtain in the raised state.

Der Behang weist eine Kopfschiene 1, eine Mittelschiene 2 und eine Unterleiste 3 auf, die jeweils als Hohlprofil ausgebildet sind. Die Kopfschiene 1 ist an der geneigten Oberkante einer zu verschattenden Fensteröffnung befestigt. Zwischen der Kopfschiene 1 und der Mittelschiene 2 ist der obere Bereich 4 des Behangs angeordnet, der im herabgelassenen Zustand fächerförmig aufgespreizt ist. Der untere Bereich 5 entfaltet sich im herabgelassenen Zustand rechteckig. Als Material für die Bereiche 4 und 5 des Behangs wird vorwiegend ein plissierter Stoff verwendet. Im Endbereich 6 der Mittelschiene 2 ist die erste Schnur 7 befestigt. Sie wird durch eine Öffnung in der Kopfschiene 1 in das Hohlprofil derselben geführt und dort an einem Stopper 8 umgelenkt. Der Stopper 8 begrenzt das Absenken des Endbereiches 6 der Mittelschiene 2 und bewirkt so, daß die Mittelschiene 2 gegenüber der Kopfschiene 1 um die den beiden Schienen 1, 2 gemeinsame Dreiecksspitze lediglich verschwenkt werden kann, wobei der Endbereich 6 im wesentlichen ortsfest bleibt. Es wäre zu diesem Zweck auch denkbar, den Endbereich 6 der Mittelschiene 2 mit dem Endbereich 9 der Kopfschiene 1 über ein Scharniergelenk schwenkbar miteinander zu verbinden.The curtain has a head rail 1, a middle rail 2 and a lower bar 3, each of which is designed as a hollow profile. The head rail 1 is fastened to the inclined upper edge of a window opening to be shaded. Between the head rail 1 and the middle rail 2, the upper region 4 of the curtain is arranged, which is spread out in a fan shape when lowered. The lower region 5 unfolds rectangularly when lowered. A pleated fabric is mainly used as material for areas 4 and 5 of the curtain. The first cord 7 is fastened in the end region 6 of the middle rail 2. It is guided through an opening in the head rail 1 into the hollow profile thereof and deflected there at a stop 8. The stopper 8 limits the lowering of the end region 6 of the middle rail 2 and thus causes the Center rail 2 relative to the head rail 1 about which the triangular tip common to the two rails 1, 2 can only be pivoted, the end region 6 remaining essentially stationary. For this purpose, it would also be conceivable to pivotally connect the end region 6 of the center rail 2 to the end region 9 of the head rail 1 via a hinge joint.

Die Schnur 7 wird in der Kopfschiene 1 vom Stopper 8 weiter bis zu einer Öffnung 26 geführt, dort wird sie umgelenkt und durch den Bereich 4 des Behangs kreisbogenförmig zur Mittelschiene 2 geführt. Zu diesem Zweck weist der faltenförmig übereinanderliegende Behang entsprechende Führungslöcher Schlaufen oder Stanzungen auf. Der Mittelpunkt des Kreisbogens entspricht etwa dem Punkt, um den die Mittelschiene 2 beim Heranschwenken an die Kopfschiene 1 dreht. Die Schnur 7 wird dann durch eine Öffnung 10 in der Mittelschiene 2 in die ebenfalls als Hohlprofil ausgebildete Mittelschiene 2 geführt, dort umgelenkt und aus dem Ende 11 der Mittelschiene 2 (gegenüberliegend dem Ende 6) herausgeführt. Sie wird dann nach oben zum Ende 12 der Kopfschiene 1 (gegenüberliegend dem Ende 9) geführt, läuft dort in das Hohlprofil der Kopfschiene 1 hinein und wird durch eine nahe dem Ende 12 angeordnete Öffnung 13 herausgeführt. Die erste Schnur 7 bildet dort eine mit einem Gewicht 14 beschwerte Schlaufe und geht in die zweite Schnur 15 über. Ein Stopper 16 an der Schnur 7, der in der waagerechten Stellung der Mittelschiene 2 an der Öffnung 13 anschlägt, verhindert ein zu weites Herablassen der Mittelschiene 2. Die zweite Schnur 15 wird durch eine benachbart der Öffnung 13 in der Kopfschiene 1 angeordnete Öffnung 17 in die Kopfschiene 1 hineingeführt. Sie teilt sich in drei Schnurstränge, die durch die Kopfschiene 1 zu deren Ende 9 und dort in das Ende 6 der Mittelschiene 2 geführt werden. In der Mittelschiene 2 teilen sich die drei Schnurstränge 15a, 15b und 15c der ersten Schnur 15 auf und werden durch Öffnungen 18, 19 und 20 in der Mittelschiene 2 herausgeführt. Sie laufen dann durch im Behang angeordnete Führungsöffnungen Schlaufen oder Stanzungen senkrecht nach unten zur Unterleiste 3, dort durch Öffnungen 21, 22 und 23 in die Unterleiste 3 hinein und sind schließlich am Ende 24 der Unterleiste 3 befestigt. Ein Stopper 25 an der zweiten Schnur 15 schlägt an der Öffnung 17 in der Kopfschiene 1 an, wenn die Unterleiste 3 ihre untere Endstellung erreicht.The cord 7 is guided in the head rail 1 from the stopper 8 to an opening 26, where it is deflected and guided in a circular arc through the area 4 of the curtain to the middle rail 2. For this purpose, the fold-overlapping curtain has corresponding guide holes, loops or punchings. The center point of the circular arc corresponds approximately to the point about which the center rail 2 rotates when pivoting towards the head rail 1. The cord 7 is then passed through an opening 10 in the central rail 2 into the central rail 2, which is also formed as a hollow profile, deflected there and led out of the end 11 of the central rail 2 (opposite the end 6). It is then guided upwards to the end 12 of the head rail 1 (opposite the end 9), runs there into the hollow profile of the head rail 1 and is led out through an opening 13 arranged near the end 12. The first cord 7 there forms a loop weighted with a weight 14 and merges into the second cord 15. A stopper 16 on the cord 7, which strikes the opening 13 in the horizontal position of the center rail 2, prevents the center rail 2 from being lowered too far. The second cord 15 is closed by an opening 17 in which is arranged adjacent to the opening 13 in the head rail 1 the head rail 1 inserted. It is divided into three cord strands which are guided through the head rail 1 to the end 9 and there into the end 6 of the middle rail 2. The three cord strands 15a, 15b and 15c of the first cord 15 divide in the middle rail 2 and are led out through openings 18, 19 and 20 in the middle rail 2. They then run through guide openings arranged in the curtain or loops or punchings perpendicularly down to the bottom bar 3, there through openings 21, 22 and 23 into the lower bar 3 and are finally attached to the end 24 of the lower bar 3. A stopper 25 on the second cord 15 strikes the opening 17 in the head rail 1 when the lower bar 3 reaches its lower end position.

Es sei darauf hingewiesen, daß an den Umlenkpunkten der Schnüre ggf. auch Rollen angeordnet sein können, um die Reibung noch weiter zu vermindern.It should be pointed out that rollers may also be arranged at the deflection points of the cords in order to reduce the friction even further.

Um den Behang von der in Fig.1 gezeigten herabgelassenen Stellung in die in Fig.2 gezeigte hochgezogene Stellung zu bringen, zieht man an dem aus der Öffnung 17 kommenden Ende der zweiten Schnur 15, das zum Gewicht 14 führt. Dabei wird mittels der drei Schnurzweige 15a, 15b und 15c die Unterleiste 3 angehoben und der Bereich 5 des Behangs zusammengefaltet. Wenn die Unterleiste 5 bis in die Nähe der Mittelschiene 2 hochgehoben und der Behang 5 dazwischen vollständig zusammengefaltet ist, bewirkt weiteres Ziehen an dem aus der Öffnung 13 zum Gewicht 14 führende Ende der ersten Schnur 7 oder auch einfach am Gewicht 14 selbst, daß die Mittelschiene 2 zusammen mit der Unterleiste 3 in eine Parallelstellung zur Kopfschiene 1 geschwenkt wird. Dabei wird der Bereich 4 des Behangs fächerförmig zusammengelegt.In order to bring the curtain from the lowered position shown in FIG. 1 to the raised position shown in FIG. 2, pull the end of the second cord 15 coming from the opening 17, which leads to the weight 14. In this case, the bottom bar 3 is raised by means of the three cord branches 15a, 15b and 15c and the area 5 of the curtain is folded up. When the lower bar 5 is lifted up to the vicinity of the middle rail 2 and the curtain 5 is completely folded in between, further pulling on the end of the first cord 7 leading from the opening 13 to the weight 14 or simply on the weight 14 itself causes the middle rail 2 is pivoted together with the lower bar 3 in a parallel position to the head rail 1. The area 4 of the curtain is folded together in a fan shape.

Da die Mittelschiene 2 (und auch die Unterlage 3) kürzer ist als die Kopfschiene 1, wird im hochgezogenen Zustand des Behangs der Behangbereich 4 nach unten nicht vollständig von der Mittelschiene 2 abgestützt, vielmehr gibt es zwischen dem Ende 11 der Mittelschiene 2 und dem Ende 12 der Kopfschiene 1 einen nicht von der Mittelschiene 2 unterstützten Behangbereich. Dieser könnte sich möglicherweise aufgrund seines Eigengewichts etwas abhängen. Dies wird aber verhindert durch das vom Ende 11 der Mittelschiene 2 zum Ende 12 der Kopfschiene 1 freigeführte Ende der ersten Schnur 7, das hier unterhalb des Behangbereichs 4 verläuft und diesen an die Kopfschiene 1 drückt und soweit stabilisiert. Unterstützt wird diese Stabilisierungsfunktion durch das Gewicht 14, das dem genannten Schnurbereich strafft.Since the middle rail 2 (and also the base 3) is shorter than the head rail 1, the curtain area 4 is not completely supported downwards by the middle rail 2 in the raised state of the curtain, rather there is between the end 11 of the middle rail 2 and the end 12 of the head rail 1 a curtain area not supported by the middle rail 2. This could possibly depend somewhat on its own weight. However, this is prevented by the end of the first cord 7 which is released from the end 11 of the middle rail 2 to the end 12 of the head rail 1 and which here runs below the curtain area 4 and presses it against the head rail 1 and stabilizes it as far as possible. This is supported Stabilizing function by the weight 14, which tightens the mentioned cord area.

Das Herablassen des Behangs geschieht in umgekehrter Reihenfolge. Dabei wird zunächst die Mittelschiene 2 in ihre waagerechte Stellung abgesenkt, anschließend wird die Unterleiste 3 herabgelassen. Dabei entfalten sich wieder die entsprechenden Bereiche 4 bzw. 5 des Behangs.The curtain is lowered in the reverse order. The middle rail 2 is first lowered into its horizontal position, then the lower bar 3 is lowered. The corresponding areas 4 and 5 of the curtain unfold again.
