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 Cupboard furniture with single profiles guided on both sides in a slide rail, which via tongue and groove connections or film hinges are pivotally connected.

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. Out EP 0 446 049 A2, for example, discloses a roller shutter which is used for Open wound on a roller and close by this roller is handled again.

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 is a cabinet roller shutter with a roller shutter drive known from a drive roller equipped with drive wheels consists. The drive wheels are gear-like and the teeth these gears engage in rear grooves of the roller shutter profiles. The roller shutter profiles themselves are in the side guides of the Cabinet led, which on the front, upper and rear side areas the cabinet opening are molded.

Diese vertikalen Öffnungsmethoden sind von der Konstruktion und vom Aufbau der Schränke her gesehen aufwendig und teuer.These vertical opening methods are of construction and Structure of the cupboards seen from here complex and expensive.

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. A horizontal opening method is known from EP 0 411 344 A1 Cabinet roller shutter known. The roller shutter is in the lower and upper Guide grooves guided and shifted. These guide grooves are drawn over the entire lower and upper front opening area of the Closet and extend into the side and rear wall areas of the closet. The advantage of the horizontal shift option is thereby by the disadvantageous upper and lower groove guidance of the roller shutter profiles largely compensated, which can be found practically across the entire Pull out the front opening area, one side wall and the entire rear wall got to.

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 are in the prior art become known for the roller shutter profiles with which the expansion of the guide grooves in the rear wall area of the cabinet furniture can be avoided. These screw guides are in the side arranged upper and lower wall areas of the piece of furniture and steer the roller shutters into different guide levels when the opening is moved around. This way, a relatively close merge the roller shutter elements or the roller shutter profile bars on the side Wall areas of the piece of furniture achieved. The screw guides are each arranged on the floor and the cover plate of the piece of furniture and allow due to the possibility of deflection, the inclusion of the roller shutter element in a relatively limited space, the number of redirections the capacity limit for length absorption within a screw element of the roller shutter. In this way, shutter openings be installed in one direction, with the screw receptacles in this case must be designed so wide that the roller shutter from the Closure of the front in its entire length on one side from the top and lower screw elements is added. But there are also Known embodiments of horizontally closing roller shutter furniture, where the roller shutter is divided and its half in on the right and left side arranged screw elements added becomes. In this case, these screw elements can be made narrower as they are only half of what is required to lock the furniture part Roller shutter element by appropriately designed screw deflections have to record.

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 characterized by upper and lower deflection screws Roller shutter recordings can be seen in the fact that despite the deflections relatively large space in the side areas of the screw components Cupboard furniture is required to move the shutter elements in save the areas of the deflection screws. This place comes along the cabinet furniture to be locked with these shutters as a storage space lost.

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 space-consuming deflection screws by a simple, space-saving Method of filling a narrow storage space with the roller shutter profiles to replace. According to the invention it is proposed that alternately to every second profile in the area of connections with an adjacent one Profile over a protruding at right angles from the profile body A guide element is molded onto the connecting web, which is the length of the profile protrudes on both sides in a defined dimension that each Adjacent profile at both free ends with a glider which is slightly higher in size as the guide member, and that the guide members and the sliders on both sides of the roller shutter, separated from each other by intermediate webs Running rails are displaceable, being on the running rail for the guide element in the area of the corner deflections each have a ramp is formed, over which the guide elements run and each two adjacent profiles from the gliding plane into an opposite one Swivel the 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 stowage method according to the invention for the roller shutter curtain has the advantage that the tank is flat when closed and the storage space of the closet completely. The tank can be beneficial can only be saved on one side of the cabinet, but can also be saved if necessary be inserted into both sides of the cabinet. The single ones Roller shutter profiles are designed so that the armor folds up like a fold, when the opening shift of the tank begins. At A one-sided tank jam, for example, the opening length of the Tanks of 1,200 mm in total stored in a cabinet depth of 450 mm be, with the 1,200 mm wide cabinet a maximum of 75 mm storage space on one side of the cabinet is lost. In contrast are used in the conventional redirection of cabinet shutters Screw guides need at least 130 mm of storage space to store the Stow the shutter elements at the 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 shutter storage method according to the invention is but seen in the fact that far less movement force to move the roller shutter is required than with the traditional 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 uses much less power than the system of the prior art Technology where the tank profiles shifted in their guides and also still have to be redirected 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 advantageous that the guide element is a guide pin is about which every second profile in its assigned Running track is guided.

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 those provided with the guide elements and the sliders Profiles above the level of the intermediate web and the outer edge of the Track are held for the guide element. This is for the unhindered Unfolding the individual profiles required.

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 that the rails for the sliders and the guide elements are arranged one behind the other, the Running track for the guide elements behind the running track for the Glider located. It is also for the simple folding of the profiles expedient that the running rail for the guide elements in the area of Deflection of the ramp in the direction parallel to the track for the glider ends. The guide elements themselves can be from the inner wall the assigned track or from the exposed outer wall of the assigned guide rail to be guided.
