The slide head is connected above its groove (12) through support devices (9) on the end sides to supports (5), which when the runner is inserted, engage through the slit (19) in the track (18) and are connected to the eyelet. The head may be swivel-connected to the support devices. The head can have two jaws (13) elastically movable across the longitudinal direction. When the runner is inserted in the slit the jaws can rest on the inside of the track sections (20,21) defining the longitudinal slit.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gardinengleiter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a curtain glider according to the preamble of claim 1.

Gardinengleiter sind bekannt. So ist z.B. aus der CH 681 852 A5 ein arretierbarer Gardinengleiter bekannt geworden, dessen Gleitkopf eine nach oben offene Nut und seitlich abstehende Arme aufweist, die an der Innenseite der den Längsschlitz der Schiene begrenzenden Ränder anliegen.Curtain gliders are known. For example, from the CH 681 852 A5 known a lockable curtain glider become, whose sliding head an upwardly open groove and has laterally protruding arms on the inside of the the edges delimiting the longitudinal slot of the rail.

Ein derartiger Gardinengleiter kann zwar durch Drehung um 90° arretiert werden, jedoch ist er nicht von unten durch den Längsschlitz hindurch in die Schiene einsetzbar.Such curtain glider can be turned by 90 ° can be locked, but it is not through from below the longitudinal slot can be inserted into the rail.

Aus der DE 39 15 461 C2 ist ein von unten in den Längsschlitz der Schiene einsetzbarer Gardinengleiter bekannt geworden, der starre Stützkufen aufweist, an denen sich bewegliche Sicherungslippen abstützen. Diese Sicherungslippen werden beim Einsetzen des Gardinengleiters in die Schiene derart verbogen, daß die Stützkufen durch den Längsschlitz der Schiene hindurch geschoben werden kann. Befinden sich die Stützkufen und die Sicherungslippen innerhalb der Schiene, dann schnappen die Sicherungslippen in ihre Ausgangslage zurück, hintergreifen den Längsschlitz und werden von den Stützkufen abgestützt.DE 39 15 461 C2 is from below into the longitudinal slot the curtain glider that can be used on the rail is known which has rigid support runners on which Support movable locking lips. These locking lips are inserted into the Rail bent so that the support skids through the Longitudinal slot of the rail can be pushed through. There are the support runners and the locking lips inside the rail, then snap the locking lips back to their starting position, reach behind the longitudinal slot and are supported by the support runners.

Ein derartiger Gardinengleiter besitzt jedoch den Nachteil, daß er einen relativ komplizierten Aufbau aufweist und die Sicherungslippen sehr dünnwandig ausgebildet sein müssen, so daß sie beim Einsetzen des Gleiters in die Schiene um etwa 90° verbogen werden können. Derartige Lippen verspröden jedoch, insbesondere wenn sie häufig zusammen mit der Gardine gewaschen werden, sehr schnell und neigen dadurch zum Bruch.However, such a curtain glider has the disadvantage that that it has a relatively complicated structure and the Lips must be very thin-walled, so that when inserting the slider into the rail about Can be bent 90 °. Such lips, however, become brittle, especially if they are often together with the curtain can be washed very quickly and therefore tend to break.

Aus der NL-A-92 00 489 ist ein Gardinengleiter gemäß Oberbegriff des Ansprunchs 1 bekannt geworden, der von unten in einen Längsschlitz einer Schiene einclipsbar ist. Hierfür weist er einen Kopf auf, an dessen Unterseite seitlich abragende Flügel mittels eines Filmscharniers befestigt sind. Beim Einclipsen des Kopfes in den Längsschlitz werden die Flügel unter den Kopf gedrängt und klappen anschließen wieder zurück. Der Kopf liegt dann über die Flügel, die die Längsränder des Längsschlitzes übergreifen an der Innenseite der Längsränder auf. Die am Gardinengleiter angreifenden Kräfte müssen über die Filmscharniere der Flügel abgestützt werden. Außerdem ist der Kopf des Gardinengleiters relativ unbeweglich. A curtain glider according to the preamble of Claim 1 has become known from NL-A-92 00 489, from below into a longitudinal slot in a rail can be clipped on. For this he has a head on the Bottom protruding wings by means of a film hinge are attached. When clipping the head into the Longitudinal slot, the wings are pushed under the head and then fold back again. The head is then over the wings that overlap the longitudinal edges of the longitudinal slot on the inside of the longitudinal edges. The most Forces acting on curtain gliders must cross the film hinges the wing are supported. In addition, the Head of the curtain glider relatively immobile.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Gardinengleiter der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß er einerseits einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist, andererseits eine geringe Bruchneigung besitzt.The invention has for its object a curtain glider of the type mentioned so that he on the one hand has a simple structure, on the other hand has a low tendency to break.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of Claim 1 solved.

Der erfindungsgemäße Gardinengleiter hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß er einen relativ massiv ausgebildeten Gleitkopf besitzt, über den sich der Gleiter an der Innenseite der Schiene abstützt. Dieser Gleitkopf wird also beim Einsetzen des Gleiters in die Schiene geringfügig verformt, so daß er den Schlitz der Schiene passieren kann, und dient gleichzeitig als tragendes Element für den gesamten Gleiter. Die Gewichtskraft der Gardine wird von der Aufhängevorrichtung über die Trageinrichtungen auf den Gleitkopf übertragen. Aufgrund der geringen Anzahl von Gleiterelementen ist dieser relativ einfach und somit kostengünstig herstellbar.The curtain glider according to the invention has the essential Advantage that he has a relatively solid sliding head has, over which the glider on the inside of the Rail supports. So this gliding head is when inserted the slider is slightly deformed in the rail so that it can pass through the slot of the rail, and serves at the same time as a load-bearing element for the entire glider. The Weight of the curtain is determined by the hanging device transferred to the sliding head via the carrying devices. Due to the small number of slider elements, this is relatively simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture.

Ein weiteres Merkmal ist, dass die Stützen als Bügel ausgebildet sind und der Gleitkopf an jeder seiner Stirnseite mit wenigstens einem Zapfen versehen ist, der in die Öffnungen der jeweiligen Bügel eingreift. Diese an den Stirnseiten des Gleitkopfs vorgesehenen Zapfen verhindern, daß durch Zug an der Aufhängevorrichtung die Backen des Gleitkopfes unzulässig weit auseinander gedrängt werden. Die Zapfen erlauben eine Verformung der Trageinrichtungen für den Gleitkopf im zulässigen Rahmen, d.h. im Rahmen einer elastischen Verformung. Bevorzugt weist jede Backe an ihrer Stirnseite einen Zapfen auf. Auf diese Weise werden die Backen gleichmäßig an der Vorderseite und Hinterseite gegen unzulässige Auslenkung dadurch geschützt, daß die Zapfen den Schwenkbereich der Backen begrenzen.Another feature is that the supports are designed as brackets are and the sliding head on each of its end faces is provided at least one pin which in the openings the respective bracket engages. This on the front of the Sliding pin provided prevent pulling on the jaws of the sliding head are not permitted be pushed far apart. Allow the cones a deformation of the support devices for the sliding head in permissible framework, i.e. as part of an elastic Deformation. Each jaw preferably has on its end face a cone. This way the cheeks evenly against the front and back Inadmissible deflection protected by the fact that the pin Limit the swivel range of the jaws.

Bei einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, daß der Gleitkopf schwenkbeweglich mit den Trageinrichtungen verbunden ist. Die schwenkbewegliche Lagerung des Gleitkopfs ermöglicht ein leichtes Einführen bzw. Einclipsen des Gardinengleiters in die Schiene, so daß lediglich Kräfte in Einschubrichtung, d.h. senkrecht zur Laufrichtung des Gleiters aufgebracht werden müssen.In a further development it is provided that the sliding head is pivotally connected to the supporting devices. The pivotable mounting of the sliding head enables one easy insertion or clipping of the curtain glider into the rail, so that only forces in the direction of insertion, i.e. applied perpendicular to the direction of the glider Need to become.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß der Gleitkopf zwei quer zur Längsrichtung federelastisch bewegliche Backen aufweist. Diese Backen werden beim Einclipsen des Gleiters in die Schiene in Richtung zueinander gedrängt und zwar so weit, bis sie gemeinsam den Schlitz der Schiene durchgreifen können. Auf der Innenseite der Schiene schnappen dann die beiden Backen in ihre Ausgangslage zurück und hintergreifen die den Schlitz begrenzenden Ränder der Schiene. Sie liegen dann auf der Innenseite dieser Schienenabschnitte auf. A preferred embodiment provides that the sliding head two jaws that can move resiliently transversely to the longitudinal direction having. These jaws are when the glider is clipped in pushed in the direction of each other and so until they reach through the slot in the rail together can. Then snap on the inside of the rail both jaws back to their starting position and reach behind the edges of the rail defining the slot. they lay then on the inside of these rail sections.

Ein Einklappen bzw. Zusammendrängen der beiden Backen wird erfindungsgemäß auf einfache Weise dadurch erzielt, daß der Gleitkopf eine im wesentlichen dachförmige, insbesondere satteldachförmige Oberseite aufweist. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß der Gardinengleiter bereits beim Einsetzen in die Schiene zentriert wird und die Backen gleichmäßig eingebogen werden. Ein falsches Ansetzen oder schräges Einschieben wird auf diese Weise vermieden.The two jaws fold in or squeeze together achieved in a simple manner according to the invention in that the Sliding head a substantially roof-shaped, in particular has a gable roof top. This has the advantage that the curtain glider already when inserted into the Rail is centered and the jaws bent evenly become. An incorrect attachment or angled insertion will avoided in this way.

Eine seitliche Führung erhält der Gardinengleiter dadurch, daß die Breite der Stützen im wesentlichen der Breite des Schlitzes der Schiene entspricht. Ein Verkanten des Gardinengleiters im Schlitz wird auf diese Weise ausgeschlossen. Außerdem dient die Stütze bzw. der Bügel als Einführhilfe beim Einclipsen des Gleiters in die Schiene.The curtain glider receives a lateral guidance that the width of the supports is essentially the width of the Slot of the rail corresponds. A tilting of the Curtain glider in the slot is made this way locked out. In addition, the support or the bracket serves as Insertion aid when clipping the glider into the rail.

Eine besondere Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß die Trageinrichtungen von einer Welle gebildet werden. Diese Welle kann ein separates Bauteil darstellen, ist jedoch vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Bügel und dem Gleitkopf ausgebildet. Über die Welle werden die am Gardinengleiter angreifenden Zugkräfte auf den Gleitkopf übertragen. A special embodiment provides that the Supporting devices are formed by a shaft. This Wave can be a separate component, but is preferably in one piece with the bracket and the sliding head educated. Over the wave are those on the curtain glider attacking tensile forces transmitted to the sliding head.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sehen vor, daß der Gardinengleiter einteilig ausgebildet ist, und insbesondere aus Kunststoff besteht. Ein derartiges Bauteil wird auf einfache Weise vorteilhaft als Spritzgußteil ausgebildet. Aus Metall bestehende Gardinengleiter sind jedoch ebenfalls denkbar.Preferred embodiments provide that the Curtain glider is formed in one piece, and in particular is made of plastic. Such a component is on easily formed advantageously as an injection molded part. However, curtain gliders made of metal are also conceivable.

Eine Einschubbegrenzung wird auf einfache Weise dadurch erzielt, daß die Aufhängevorrichtung für die Gardine an der Unterseite einer Platte und die Stützen an der Oberseite der Platte vorgesehen sind und daß die Platte bei in die Schiene eingesetztem Gleiter sich nahe der Unterseite der Schiene befindet. Diese Platte dient außerdem als Sichtschutz und ist neben der Aufhängevorrichtung als einziges Bauteil des Gleiters zu sehen.An insertion limitation is easily done achieved that the hanging device for the curtain on the Underside of a plate and the supports at the top of the Plate are provided and that the plate at in the rail used glider itself near the bottom of the rail located. This plate also serves as a privacy screen and is the only component of the See glider.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in der unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung ein besonders bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel im einzelnen dargestellt ist. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Gardinengleiters 1, an dessen Unterseite eine Aufhängevorrichtung 2 für eine Gardine o.dgl. vorgesehen ist. Diese Aufhängevorrichtung 2 hat die Form einer Öse, wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist. Diese Aufhängevorrichtung 2 befindet sich unterhalb eines plattenförmigen Elements bzw. einer Platte 3 auf dessen Oberseite zwei als Bügel 4 ausgebildete Stützen 5 angeordnet sind. Diese Bügel 4 befinden sich jeweils an der in Verschieberichtung (Pfeil 6) vorderen und hinteren Stirnseite 7 der Platte 3. Der Bügel 4weist die Form eines nach unten offenen U auf und ist ebenso wie die Aufhängevorrichtung 2 einstückig mit der Platte 3 verbunden. Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the curtain glider 1 according to the invention, on the underside thereof a hanging device 2 for a curtain or the like. is provided. This suspension device 2 has the shape an eyelet, as can be seen from Figure 2. This Suspension device 2 is located below one plate-shaped element or a plate 3 on its Top two arranged as a bracket 4 supports 5 are. These brackets 4 are each on the in Direction of movement (arrow 6) front and rear Face 7 of the plate 3. The bracket 4 has the shape of a down open U and is just like that Hanging device 2 integrally connected to the plate 3.

Am Scheitel 8 eines jeden Bügels 4 sind Trageinrichtungen 9 in Form einer Welle 10 vorgesehen, über die ein Gleitkopf 11 zwischen den beiden Bügeln 4 gehalten wird. Die Welle 10 kann ein separates Bauteil, z.B. eine eingespritzte. Stahlwelle sein, sie kann, wie hier beim Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, auch einstückig mit dem Bügel 4 un dem Gleitkopf 11 ausgebildet sein. Dieser Gleitkopf 11 ist über die Welle 10 quer zur Richtung des Pfeils 6 schwenkbeweglich gelagert. Aus den Figuren 1 und 4 ist deutlich erkennbar, daß der Gleitkopf 11 eine satteldachförmige Oberseite aufweist. Aus Figur 4 ist weiter erkennbar, daß der Gleitkopf 11 unterhalb der Welle 10 mit einer nach unten offenen im wesentlichen V-förmigen Nut 12 versehen ist, über die der Gleitkopf 11 in zwei Backen 13 aufgeteilt wird. Die Backen 13 weisen eine Breite auf, die größer ist als die Breite der Bügel 4, was deutlich aus Figur 4 erkennbar ist.At the apex 8 of each bracket 4 there are support devices 9 provided in the form of a shaft 10, via which a sliding head 11 is held between the two brackets 4. The wave 10 a separate component, e.g. an injected. Be steel shaft, it can, as here in the embodiment provided, also in one piece with the bracket 4 un the sliding head 11 be formed. This sliding head 11 is on the shaft 10 pivotally mounted transversely to the direction of arrow 6. It can be clearly seen from FIGS. 1 and 4 that the Sliding head 11 has a gable roof-shaped top. Out Figure 4 can also be seen that the sliding head 11 below the shaft 10 with a downwardly open substantially V-shaped Groove 12 is provided, via which the sliding head 11 in two jaws 13 is divided. The jaws 13 have one Width that is greater than the width of the bracket 4 what is clearly recognizable from Figure 4.

Die Stirnseiten 14 der Backen 13 bzw. des Gleitkopfs 11 sind jeweils mit einem Zapfen 15 versehen, der, wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich, in die Öffnung 16 des Bügels 4 eingreift. Die Zapfen 15 weisen einen geringen Abstand zu den Innenflächen der Bügel 4 auf, so daß die Backen 13 geringfügig, d.h. bis zur Anlage der Zapfen 15 an die Innenfläche der Bügel 4 nach außen bewegt werden können. Die Zapfen 15 dienen also als Anschlag für die Backen 13, wodurch der Schwenkbereich der Backen 13 begrenzt wird. The end faces 14 of the jaws 13 and the sliding head 11 are each provided with a pin 15 which, as from the Figures 1 and 2 can be seen in the opening 16 of the bracket 4th intervenes. The pins 15 are at a short distance the inner surfaces of the bracket 4 so that the jaws 13th slight, i.e. until the pin 15 touches the Inner surface of the bracket 4 can be moved outwards. The Pins 15 thus serve as a stop for the jaws 13, whereby the swivel range of the jaws 13 is limited.

Dieser Schwenkbereich wird andeutungsweise durch strichpunktierte Linien 17 wiedergegeben.This swivel range is indicated by dash-dotted lines 17 reproduced.

Aus Figur 3 ist erkennbar, daß die Außenabmessungen des Gardinengleiters 1 durch die Platte 3 bestimmt wird und der Gleitkopf 11 eine Breite aufweist, die im wesentlichen der Breite der Platte 3 entspricht. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß bei in eine Schiene 18 eingesetztem Gardinengleiter 1 die einen Längsschlitz 19 bildenden Schienenabschnitte 20 und 21 sich zwischen dem Gleitkopf 11 bzw. dessen äußeren Enden und der Platte 3 befinden. Bei eingesetztem Gardinengleiter 1 liegen also die beiden Backen 13 auf den Innenflächen der Schienenabschnitte 20 und 21 auf und bilden die tragenden Elemente des Gardinengleiters 1. Ein weiteres Einschieben des Gardinengleiters 1 in die Schiene 18 wird durch die Platte 3 verhindert, die außerdem als Blende dient. Vom Gardinengleiter 1 sind lediglich die Aufhängevorrichtung 2 und die Platte 3 sichtbar.From Figure 3 it can be seen that the outer dimensions of the Curtain glider 1 is determined by the plate 3 and the Sliding head 11 has a width which is substantially the Width of the plate 3 corresponds. This ensures that with curtain glider 1 inserted into a rail 18 a rail section 20 and 21 forming a longitudinal slot 19 between the sliding head 11 and its outer ends and the plate 3 are. When curtain glider is inserted 1 So are the two jaws 13 on the inner surfaces of the Rail sections 20 and 21 and form the load-bearing Elements of the curtain glider 1. Another insertion the curtain glider 1 in the rail 18 is by the Prevents plate 3, which also serves as an aperture. From Curtain gliders 1 are only the hanging device 2 and the plate 3 visible.

Wird der Gardinengleiter 1 in die Schiene 18 eingeschoben, dann werden die beiden Backen 13 zusammengepreßt, d.h. in Richtung der Nut 12 um die Welle 10 verschwenkt. Dies erfolgt so weit, bis die beiden Zapfen 15 bzw. die einander zugewandten, die Nut 12 bildenden Flächen der Backen 13 aneinander anliegen. Der Gleitkopf 11 kann in dieser Lage durch den Längsschlitz 19 der Schiene 18 hindurchgeschoben werden. Befindet sich der Gleitkopf 11 innerhalb der Schiene 18, dann schnappen die beiden Backen 13 in ihre Ausgangslage zurück und hintergreifen die beiden Schienenabschnitte 20 und 21. Der Gardinengleiter 1 ist nunmehr in der Schiene 18 verriegelt. Er kann sich jedoch in Richtung des Pfeils 6 (Figur 1), d.h. in Richtung des Längsschlitz 19 bewegen. Ein Verkanten des Gardinengleiters 1 innerhalb des Schlitzes 19 wird dadurch vermieden, daß die Breite der Bügel 4 im wesentlichen der Breite des Längsschlitzes 19 entspricht, was aus Figur 4 ersichtlich ist.If the curtain glider 1 is pushed into the rail 18, then the two jaws 13 are pressed together, i.e. in Direction of the groove 12 pivoted about the shaft 10. This takes place until the two pins 15 or each other facing surfaces of the jaws 13 forming the groove 12 abut each other. The sliding head 11 can in this position pushed through the longitudinal slot 19 of the rail 18 become. The sliding head 11 is located inside the rail 18, then snap the two jaws 13 into their starting position back and reach behind the two rail sections 20 and 21. The curtain glider 1 is now in the rail 18 locked. However, it can move in the direction of arrow 6 (Figure 1), i.e. move in the direction of the longitudinal slot 19. On Tilting the curtain glider 1 within the slot 19 is avoided in that the width of the bracket 4 in essentially corresponds to the width of the longitudinal slot 19, what can be seen from Figure 4.

Der relativ einfache Aufbau des Gardinengleiters 1 und die Größe des Gleitkopfes 11 ermöglichen eine einfache und preiswerte Herstellung eines robusten Gardinengleiters 1, dessen Gleitkopf 11 auch nach einer Vielzahl von Waschvorgängen seine Elastizität beibehält.The relatively simple structure of the curtain glider 1 and Size of the sliding head 11 allow easy and inexpensive production of a robust curtain glider 1, whose sliding head 11 also after a variety of Washes maintain their elasticity.
