Abstract

The slats (12) hinging together work in guide rails at both ends. Adjacent to the hinge (111), alternate slats have a holding rib (41) protruding at right angles, and on which a guide member (4) is formed, protruding beyond the slat in the lengthwise direction at both ends and for a set distance. Each of the other slats (11) has a slide (2) at each end and slightly higher than the guide members. The members and slides work at each end in separate rails (31,32) divided by an intermediate rib (33). The guide-member rail (32) has a ramp at the corner and up which the members ride, causing adjacent slats (11,12) to swing into the folded position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rolladen zum Verschließen der Öffnungen in Schrankmöbeln mit in einer Gleitschiene beidseitig geführten Einzelprofilen, welche über Nut-Feder-Verbindungen oder Filmscharniere schwenkbar miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a roller shutter for closing the openings in cabinet furniture with individual profiles guided on both sides in a slide rail, which are pivotally connected to one another via tongue and groove connections or film hinges.

Derartige Schrankrolläden sind in vielfacher Ausfertigung bekannt. Aus der EP 0 446 049 A2 ist beispielsweise ein Rolladen bekannt, der zum Öffnen auf eine Walze aufgewickelt und zum Schließen von dieser Walze wieder abgewickelt wird.Such cabinet shutters are known in many copies. From EP 0 446 049 A2, for example, a roller shutter is known which is wound onto a roller for opening and unwound from this roller for closing.

Aus dem DE-U 91 03 919 ist ein Schrankrolladen mit einem Rolladenantrieb bekannt, der aus einer mit Antriebsrädern bestückten Antriebswalze besteht. Die Antriebsräder sind zahnradartig gestaltet und die Zähne dieser Zahnräder greifen in rückwärtige Nuten der Rolladenprofile ein. Die Rolladenprofile selbst werden in seitlichen Aufnahmeführungen des Schrankes geführt, welche an den vorderen, oberen und hinteren Seitenbereichen der Schranköffnung angeformt sind.From DE-U 91 03 919 a cabinet roller shutter with a roller shutter drive is known, which consists of a drive roller equipped with drive wheels. The drive wheels are gear-like and the teeth of these gears engage in the rear grooves of the roller shutter profiles. The roller shutter profiles themselves are guided in the side mounting guides of the cabinet, which are molded onto the front, upper and rear side areas of the cabinet opening.

Diese vertikalen Öffnungsmethoden sind von der Konstruktion und vom Aufbau der Schränke her gesehen aufwendig und teuer.These vertical opening methods are complex and expensive in terms of the design and structure of the cabinets.

Aus der EP 0 411 344 A1 ist eine horizontale Öffnungsmethode eines Schrankrolladens bekannt. Der Rolladen wird dabei in unteren und oberen Führungsnuten geführt und verschoben. Diese Führungsnuten ziehen sich über den gesamten unteren und oberen vorderen Öffnungsbereich des Schrankes hin und verlängern sich in die Seiten- und Rückwandbereiche des Schrankes. Der Vorteil der horizontalen Verschiebemöglichkeit wird dabei durch die nachteilige obere und untere Nutenführung der Rolladenprofile weitgehend kompensiert, die sich praktisch über den gesamten vorderen Öffnungsbereich, eine Seitenwand und die gesamte Rückwand hinziehen muß.EP 0 411 344 A1 discloses a horizontal opening method for a cabinet roller shutter. The roller shutter is guided and moved in the lower and upper guide grooves. These guide grooves extend over the entire lower and upper front opening area of the cabinet and extend into the side and rear wall areas of the cabinet. The advantage of the horizontal displacement option is largely compensated for by the disadvantageous upper and lower groove guidance of the roller shutter profiles, which has to extend practically over the entire front opening area, one side wall and the entire rear wall.

Um diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden, sind im Stand der Technik Schneckenführungen für die Rolladenprofile bekannt geworden, mit denen die Ausdehnung der Führungsnuten in den rückwandigen Bereich des Schrankmöbels vermieden werden können. Diese Schneckenführungen sind in den seitlichen oberen und unteren Wandbereichen des Möbelstücks angeordnet und lenken den Rolladen bei der Öffnungsverschiebung in verschiedene Führungsebenen um. Auf diese Weise wird eine relativ enge Zusammenführung der Rolladenelemente bzw. der Rolladenprofilstäbe an den seitlichen Wandbereichen des Möbelstücks erzielt. Die Schneckenführungen sind jeweils am Boden und der Deckplatte des Möbelstücks angeordnet und erlauben aufgrund der Umlenkungsmöglichkeiten die Aufnahme des Rolladenelementes auf relativ begrenztem Raum, wobei die Anzahl der Umlenkungen innerhalb eines Schneckenelementes die Kapazitätsgrenze für die Längenaufnahme des Rolladens darstellt. Auf diese Weise können Rolladenöffnungen in einer Richtung eingebaut werden, wobei die Schneckenaufnahmen in diesem Fall so breit gestaltet sein müssen, daß der Rolladen aus dem Verschluß der Vorderseite in seiner ganzen Länge einseitig von den oberen und unteren Schneckenelementen aufgenommen wird. Es sind aber auch Ausführungsformen von horizontal schließenden Rolladenmöbeln bekannt, bei denen der Rolladen geteilt ist und jeweils seine Hälfte in auf der rechte und der linken Seite angeordneten Schneckenelementen aufgenommen wird. In diesem Fall können diese Schneckenelemente schmaler gebaut werden, da sie nur die Hälfte des zum Verschluß des Möbelteils erforderlichen Rolladenelementes durch entsprechend gestaltete Schneckenumlenkungen aufnehmen müssen.In order to avoid this disadvantage, screw guides for the roller shutter profiles have become known in the prior art, with which the expansion of the guide grooves into the rear wall area of the cabinet furniture can be avoided. These screw guides are arranged in the lateral upper and lower wall areas of the piece of furniture and deflect the roller shutters into different guide levels when the opening is displaced. In this way, a relatively close merging of the roller shutter elements or the roller shutter profile bars is achieved on the side wall areas of the piece of furniture. The screw guides are each arranged on the floor and the cover plate of the piece of furniture and, because of the deflection options, allow the roller shutter element to be accommodated in a relatively limited space, the number of deflections within a screw element representing the capacity limit for the length absorption of the roller shutter. In this way, roller shutter openings can be installed in one direction, the screw receptacles in this case having to be designed so wide that the roller shutter is received on one side by the upper and lower screw elements from the closure of the front. However, embodiments of horizontally closing roller shutter furniture are also known, in which the roller shutter is divided and in each case its half is accommodated in screw elements arranged on the right and the left side. In this case, these screw elements can be made narrower, since they only have to accommodate half of the roller shutter element required for closing the furniture part by means of appropriately designed screw deflections.

Der Nachteil dieser durch obere und untere Umlenkschnecken gekennzeichneten Rolladenaufnahmen ist darin zu sehen, daß trotz der Umlenkungen in den Schneckenbauteilen relativ viel Platz in den Seitenbereichen des Schrankmöbels erforderlich ist, um die verschobenen Rolladenelemente in den Bereichen der Umlenkschnecken zu speichern. Dieser Platz geht bei den mit diesen Rolladen zu verschließenden Schrankmöbeln als Stellfläche verloren.The disadvantage of these roller shutter receptacles characterized by upper and lower deflection screws is that despite the deflections in the screw components, a relatively large amount of space is required in the side areas of the cupboard furniture in order to store the displaced roller shutter elements in the areas of the deflection screws. This space is lost as storage space with the cabinet furniture to be closed with these shutters.

Hier setzt die Erfindung ein, die es sich zur Aufgabe gestellt hat, die platzraubenden Umlenkschnecken durch eine einfache, platzsparende Methode des Auffüllens eines schmalen Stauraums mit den Rolladenprofilen zu ersetzen. Erfindungsgemäß wird dazu vorgeschlagen, daß im Wechsel an jedes zweite Profil im Bereich der Verbindungen mit einem benachbarten Profil über einen rechtwinkelig vom Profilkörper abstehenden Verbindungssteg ein Führungselement angeformt ist, welches die Länge des Profils beidseitig in definierter Abmessung überragt, daß das jeweils benachbarte Profil an beiden freien Enden mit einem Gleiter versehen ist, welcher in den Abmessungen geringfügig höher ausgebildet ist als das Führungselement, und daß die Führungselemente und die Gleiter an beiden Rolladenseiten in jeweils durch Zwischenstege voneinander getrennten Laufschienen verschieblich sind, wobei an der Laufschiene für das Führungselement im Bereich der Eckumlenkungen jeweils eine Auflauframpe angeformt ist, über welche die Führungselemente laufen und jeweils zwei benachbarte Profile aus der Gleitebene in eine gegenüberstehende Auffaltung verschwenken.This is where the invention comes in, which has set itself the task of replacing the space-consuming deflection screws by a simple, space-saving method of filling up a narrow storage space with the roller shutter profiles. According to the invention it is proposed that a guide element is formed alternately on every second profile in the area of the connections with an adjacent profile via a connecting web projecting at a right angle from the profile body, which extends beyond the length of the profile on both sides in a defined dimension such that the adjacent profile on both free ends is provided with a slider, which is slightly higher in dimension than the guide element, and that the guide elements and the slider on both sides of the roller shutter are displaceable in rails separated from each other by intermediate webs, with the guide rail for the guide element in the area of Corner deflections each have an integrally formed ramp, over which the guide elements run and each pivot two adjacent profiles from the sliding plane into an opposite unfolding.

Die erfindungsgemäße Staumethode für den Rolladenpanzer hat den Vorteil, daß der Panzer im geschlossenen Zustand flach ist und den Stauraum des Schrankes vollständig abschließt. Der Panzer kann vorteilhaft nur auf einer Schrankseite gespeichert sein, kann jedoch auch im Bedarfsfall in beide Schrankseiten eingeführt werden. Die einzelnen Rolladenprofile sind so gestaltet, daß der Panzer sich faltenartig zusammenlegt, wenn die Öffnungsverschiebung des Panzers beginnt. Bei einem einseitigen Panzerstau kann beispielsweise die Öffnungslänge des Panzers von 1.200 mm insgesamt in einer Schranktiefe von 450 mm gespeichert werden, wobei bei dem 1.200 mm breiten Schrank maximal 75 mm an Stauraum auf einer Seite des Schrankes verloren gehen. Demgegenüber werden bei der herkömmlichen Umlenkung von Schrankrolläden durch Schneckenführungen mindestens 130 mm an Stauraum benötigt, um die Rolladenelemente bei der Öffnung zu verstauen.The storage method according to the invention for the roller shutter armor has the advantage that the armor is flat when closed and completely closes the storage space of the cabinet. The tank can advantageously only be stored on one side of the cabinet, but can also be inserted into both sides of the cabinet if necessary. The individual roller shutter profiles are designed so that the armor folds like a fold when the opening displacement of the armor begins. In the case of a one-sided tank jam, for example, the opening length of the tank of 1,200 mm in total can be stored in a cabinet depth of 450 mm, with a maximum of 75 mm of storage space on one side of the cabinet being lost in the 1200 mm wide cabinet. In contrast, in the conventional deflection of cabinet shutters by screw guides, at least 130 mm of storage space is required to stow the shutter elements when opening.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Rolladen-Staumethode wird aber darin gesehen, daß zur Bewegung des Rolladens weitaus weniger Bewegungskraft erforderlich ist als bei der herkömmlichen Methode, weil der Rolladenpanzer nach der Erfindung nicht umgelenkt werden muß. Für das einfache Zusammenfalten der Rolladenprofile nach der Erfindung wird viel weniger Kraft verbraucht als bei dem System nach dem Stand der Technik, wo die Panzerprofile in ihren Führungen verschoben und außerdem noch in den Schneckenbereichen umgelenkt werden müssen.The main advantage of the roller shutter stowage method according to the invention is seen in the fact that far less movement force is required to move the roller shutter than in the conventional method, because the roller shutter curtain does not have to be deflected according to the invention. For the simple folding of the roller shutter profiles according to the invention, much less force is consumed than in the system according to the prior art, where the armored profiles have to be displaced in their guides and also have to be deflected in the screw areas.

Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, daß das Führungselement ein Führungsstift ist, über welchen jedes zweite Profil in seiner zugeordneten Laufschiene geführt ist.It has proven to be advantageous that the guide element is a guide pin, over which every second profile is guided in its associated running rail.

Für die freie Faltbewegung der Einzelprofile ist es wichtig, daß die freien Enden der mit den Führungselementen und den Gleitern versehenen Profile über dem Niveau des Zwischensteges und des äußeren Randes der Laufschiene für das Führungselement gehalten sind. Dies ist für das ungehinderte Auffalten der Einzelprofile erforderlich.For the free folding movement of the individual profiles, it is important that the free ends of the profiles provided with the guide elements and the sliders are held above the level of the intermediate web and the outer edge of the running rail for the guide element. This is necessary for the unimpeded unfolding of the individual profiles.

Weiterhin ist es notwendig, daß die Laufschienen für die Gleiter und die Führungselemente hintereinander angeordnet sind, wobei sich die Laufschiene für die Führungselemente hinter der Laufschiene für die Gleiter befindet. Für die einfache Faltung der Profile ist es ferner zweckmäßig, daß die Laufschiene für die Führungselemente im Bereich der Umlenkung der Auflauframpe in der Parallelrichtung zur Laufschiene für die Gleiter endet. Die Führungselemente selbst können von der Innenwand der zugeordneten Laufschiene oder von der freiliegenden Außenwand der zugeordneten Laufschiene geführt sein.Furthermore, it is necessary for the running rails for the sliders and the guide elements to be arranged one behind the other, the running rail for the guide elements being located behind the running rail for the sliders. For the simple folding of the profiles, it is also expedient that the running rail for the guide elements ends in the region of the deflection of the ramp in the parallel direction to the running rail for the sliders. The guide elements themselves can be guided by the inner wall of the assigned running rail or by the exposed outer wall of the assigned running rail.

In der Zeichnung sind Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Rolladenfaltung schematisch dargestellt; es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 einen Rolladen mit Zwischenprofil, Gleiter und Führungselement in Vorderansicht und Querschnitt;

  • Fig. 2 shows the roller shutter guide in cross section with flexible articulation of the individual profiles.

Fig. 1 zeigt den Rolladen 1 mit den Rolladenprofilen 11, 12, 13. Die Rolladenprofile 11, 12, 13 sind im oberen Teil der Darstellung in Vorderansicht gezeigt, wobei das Rolladenprofil 13 auf einem Gleiter 2 in der zugeordneten Laufschiene 31 angeordnet ist. Die Laufschiene 31 und der Gleiter 2 sind im Schnitt dargestellt.1 shows the roller shutter 1 with the roller shutter profiles 11, 12, 13. The roller shutter profiles 11, 12, 13 are shown in a front view in the upper part of the illustration, the roller shutter profile 13 being arranged on a slider 2 in the associated running rail 31. The running rail 31 and the slider 2 are shown in section.

In der unteren Querschnittsdarstellung wird deutlich, daß die Profile 11, 12 durch ein flexibles Zwischenstück 111 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei dieses flexible Zwischenstück 111 einstückig an die Profile 11, 12 angeformt sein kann. Das Profil 11 besitzt an seinem freien Ende eine Abrundung 112 und einen Verbindungshaken 113, über die eine Verbindung mit dem Folgeprofil erfolgen kann.In the lower cross-sectional view it is clear that the profiles 11, 12 are connected to one another by a flexible intermediate piece 111, wherein this flexible intermediate piece 111 can be integrally formed on the profiles 11, 12. The profile 11 has at its free end a rounding 112 and a connecting hook 113, via which a connection to the subsequent profile can be made.

An das Profil 12 ist das Führungselement 4 über den Verbindungssteg 41 angeformt, welches in der Laufschiene 32 geführt ist. Die Einzellaufschienen 31, 32 bilden das Laufschienenelement 3. Das Profil 12 besitzt an seinem freien, vom Profil 11 abgewandten Ende eine Abrundung 121 und einen Verbindungshaken 122, über welche eine Verbindung zum entsprechend gestalteten gegenüberliegenden Ende des Profils 13 erfolgt. Das Profil 13 hat an seinem gegenüberliegenden Ende eine entsprechende Aufnahmegestaltung 131, über welche die Verbindung zum Folgeprofil 11 mit der entsprechend gestalteten Abrundung 112 und dem Verbindungshaken 113 erfolgt.The guide element 4 is molded onto the profile 12 via the connecting web 41, which is guided in the running rail 32. The individual running tracks 31, 32 form the running track element 3. The profile 12 has at its free end facing away from the profile 11 a rounding 121 and a connecting hook 122, via which a connection to the correspondingly designed opposite end of the profile 13 takes place. At its opposite end, the profile 13 has a corresponding receiving configuration 131, via which the connection to the subsequent profile 11 with the appropriately designed rounding 112 and the connecting hook 113 takes place.

In Fig. 2 ist die Führung des Rolladenaufbaus gemäß Fig. 1 in der Draufsicht sichtbar, wobei anstelle des Verbindungsprofils 13 eine flexible Anlenkung der Einzelprofile aneinander dargestellt ist. Die Profile 11' und 12' sind in der Laufschiene 31 dargestellt.2, the guidance of the roller shutter structure according to FIG. 1 is visible in a top view, a flexible articulation of the individual profiles to one another being shown instead of the connecting profile 13. The profiles 11 'and 12' are shown in the running rail 31.

Das Profil 11' ist mit dem Gleiter 2 verbunden. Das freie Ende des Profils 11' ist über einen flexiblen Verbindungssteg 111 an das gegenüberliegende freie Ende des Profils 12' angelenkt. Das Profil 12' besitzt nahe dem Gleiter 2 den Verbindungssteg 41 für das Führungselement 4. Das Führungselement 4 befindet sich in der zugeordneten Laufschiene 32. Die Führungsschienen 31, 32 werden in ihrem Eckbereich 30 um 90° umgelenkt. Im unmittelbaren Anschluß an diesen Bereich der Eckumlenkung ist die Auflauframpe 321 angeformt, auf der das Führungselement 4 entweder von der Innenwand 3211 oder von der Außenwand 3212 geführt ist.The profile 11 'is connected to the slider 2. The free end of the profile 11 'is articulated via a flexible connecting web 111 to the opposite free end of the profile 12'. The profile 12 'has near the slider 2 the connecting web 41 for the guide element 4. The guide element 4 is located in the associated running rail 32. The guide rails 31, 32 are deflected by 90 ° in their corner region 30. In direct connection to this area of the corner deflection, the run-up ramp 321 is formed, on which the guide element 4 is guided either by the inner wall 3211 or by the outer wall 3212.

Die Führung der Profile 11', 12' beim Auftreffen auf die Auflauframpe 321 ist im unteren Bereich von Fig. 2 schematisch dargestellt. Das Profil 11' ist noch in der Faltbewegung gezeigt, während das über den flexiblen Verbindungssteg 2 angelenkte Profil 12' bereits in der vollständig aufgefalteten Situation gezeigt ist. An das aufgefaltete Profil 12' schließt sich in der Darstellung das aufgefaltete, über den flexiblen Verbindungssteg 2 verbundene Profil 11' an und an dieses wiederum über den Verbindungssteg 2 das nächste Profil 12' usw.The guidance of the profiles 11 ', 12' when hitting the run-up ramp 321 is shown schematically in the lower area of FIG. 2. The profile 11 'is still shown in the folding movement, while the profile 12' articulated via the flexible connecting web 2 is already shown in the fully unfolded situation. In the illustration, the unfolded profile 12 'is connected to the unfolded profile 11', which is connected via the flexible connecting web 2, and the next profile 12 ', etc., is connected to this in turn via the connecting web 2.

Die Laufschienen 31, 32 sind durch den Zwischensteg 33 voneinander getrennt. Dieser Zwischensteg 33 teilt sich am Beginn der Auflauframpe 321 bei der gezeigten Darstellung in den Stegteil 331 und den Stegteil 332. Diese Stegteile 331, 332 dienen als Halt- und Gleitstege für die aufgefalteten Profile 11', 12'.The rails 31, 32 are separated from one another by the intermediate web 33. This intermediate web 33 is divided into the web part 331 and the web part 332 at the beginning of the ramp ramp 321 in the illustration shown. These web parts 331, 332 serve as holding and sliding webs for the unfolded profiles 11 ', 12'.

Im rechten Endbereich der Zeichnung ist eine andere Anbindung der Profile 11', 12' im Bereich des Gleiters 2 dargestellt. Hier sind an ein starres Verbindungselement 14 jeweils zwei flexible Verbindungsstege 111, 111' angelenkt, die ihrerseits mit den freien Enden der Profile 12', 11' verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise kann die Flexibilität der Einzelprofile zueinander noch erhöht werden.Another connection of the profiles 11 ′, 12 ′ in the area of the slider 2 is shown in the right end area of the drawing. Here, two flexible connecting webs 111, 111 'are articulated to a rigid connecting element 14, which in turn are connected to the free ends of the profiles 12', 11 '. In this way, the flexibility of the individual profiles with respect to one another can be increased even further.

Die gezeigten Führungen der Einzelprofile 11, 12, 11', 12' in den Laufschienen 31, 32 sind im oberen Deckenbereich und unteren Bodenbereich des Schrankmöbels angeordnet. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Auffaltung der Einzelprofile 11, 12, 11', 12' wird in diesen Randbereichen so wenig Platz verbraucht, daß eine Schranköffnung von 1,2 m leicht in den geschaffenen Stauraum einseitig versenkt werden kann, so daß die restlichen Abmessungen des Schrankmöbels aktiv genutzt werden können. Selbstverständlich lassen sich auch größere Schranköffnungen mit diesem erfinderischen System verschließen, wobei dann der geringe Stauraum für die aufgefalteten Einzelprofile an beiden Seiten des Schrankmöbels genutzt werden kann.The guides shown for the individual profiles 11, 12, 11 ', 12' in the rails 31, 32 are arranged in the upper ceiling area and lower floor area of the cabinet furniture. By unfolding the individual profiles 11, 12, 11 ', 12' according to the invention, so little space is consumed in these edge areas that a cabinet opening of 1.2 m can be easily sunk into the created storage space on one side, so that the remaining dimensions of the cabinet furniture are active can be used. Of course, larger cabinet openings can also be closed with this inventive system, in which case the small storage space can be used for the unfolded individual profiles on both sides of the cabinet furniture.
