Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Drahtseil-Garnitur für Vorhänge oder dgl. für Fenster, wie sie im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 bezeichnet wird.The invention relates to a wire rope set for curtains or the like. For windows as they is referred to in the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Drahtseil-Garnitur der zitierten Art ist aus der DE-U-29 500 981 bekannt.A wire rope set of the type cited is known from DE-U-29 500 981.

Aufgrund des modernen Designs werden Drahtseil-Garnituren am Markt immer häufiger angeboten. Die jedoch bisher bekannten Systeme haben gravierende Nachteile. So ist beispielsweise eine weitere Drahtseil-Garnitur bekannt, bei der die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen ebenfalls in der Wand befestigt werden müssen. Die Spannung des Drahtseiles erfolgt dann an den äußersten Spitzen oder Kanten und ist durch den Abstand der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen gegeben. Es liegt auf der Hand, daß durch das Gewicht des Vorhanges oder dgl. die Befestigung in der Wand recht stabil ausgeführt werden muß. Ist dies nicht der Fall, hält sich die Belastbarkeit in relativ kleinen Grenzen.Due to the modern design, wire rope fittings are becoming increasingly common on the market offered. The previously known systems have serious disadvantages. So is For example, another wire rope set is known in which the distance clamping devices must also be attached to the wall. The tension of the Wire rope then takes place at the outermost tips or edges and is by the distance given the distance clamping devices. It is obvious that by weight the curtain or the like. The attachment in the wall must be carried out quite stably. If this is not the case, the resilience is kept within relatively small limits.

Darüber hinaus ist ein Abnehmen oder Aufhängen der Vorhänge bei fix befestigtem Drahtseil eine recht komplizierte Sache.In addition, a removal or hanging of the curtains is fixed Wire rope is quite a complicated thing.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Drahtseil-Garnitur der eingangs zitierten Art zu schaffen, die einerseits die Nachteile der bekannten Systeme vermeidet und die anderseits am Markt mit wenigen Teilen, aber dennoch für verschiedene Fensterweiten angeboten werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a wire rope set of the type mentioned create, which on the one hand avoids the disadvantages of the known systems and on the other hand on the market with few parts, but still offered for different window sizes can be.

Diese Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object of the invention is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Der sich durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichenteiles des Anspruches 1 ergebende überraschende Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß es mit der Erfindung erstmals möglich ist, ein System am Markt anzubieten, daß aus nur ganz wenigen Teilen besteht, und das ganz einfach an die verschiedensten Fensterweiten selbständig angepaßt werden kann. The resulting from the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 Surprising advantage can be seen in the fact that it is possible for the first time with the invention, a To offer a system on the market that consists of only a few parts, and all of it can be easily adapted to various window sizes independently.

Darüber hinaus ist der Vorteil gegeben, daß einige Teile der Drahtseil-Garnitur bereits im Handel als billige Serienprodukte erhältlich sind. Die Flexibilität für verschiedenste Fensterweiten ist dadurch gegeben, daß die Drahtseillänge selbständig bzw. eigenständig bestimmt werden kann.In addition, there is the advantage that some parts of the wire rope set are already in Trade are available as cheap series products. The flexibility for various Window widths are given by the fact that the wire rope length is independent or independent can be determined.

Nach Befestigen der Einhängebolzen in der Wand wird der Abstand gemessen. Dieser Abstand mal zwei plus einer entsprechenden Überlänge, die von der Konstruktion der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung abhängig ist, ergibt die Drahtlänge. Mit den heute zum Stand der Technik zählenden Drahtklemmen ist ein Endlos-Drahtseil herzustellen. Dieses wird in die Einhängebolzen eingehängt. Nun werden die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen - in diesem Fall mit Kerben ausgestattet - zwischen Fenstermauerkante und Einhängebolzen derart plaziert, daß einerseits das über die Kerben geführte Drahtseil gespannt ist und die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen voll auf die Mauer gepreßt werden. Bei auch nur mäßigen Geschick ist relativ einfach eine Symmetrie über die Fensterachse zu erreichen.The distance is measured after the suspension bolts have been fixed in the wall. This Distance times two plus a corresponding excess length, which depends on the construction of the Distance clamping device is dependent, results in the wire length. To the booth today In the technology counting wire clamps an endless wire rope is to be manufactured. This is in the hanging bolts hooked in. Now the distance clamping devices - in this Case equipped with notches - between the window wall edge and the hanging bolt placed that on the one hand the wire rope led over the notches is tensioned and the distance tensioning devices be fully pressed onto the wall. With only moderate skill it is relatively easy to achieve symmetry across the window axis.

Bei einer Einseil-Garnitur wird der zweite Drahtseilteil direkt von Einhängbolzen zu Einhängbolzen geführt, wobei entsprechende Ausnehmungen an der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung die Sache erleichtern.In the case of a single rope set, the second part of the wire rope is closed directly by the hanging bolt Inserted bolts guided, with corresponding recesses on the distance clamping device to make things easier.

Für die Konstruktion der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung ist der Phantasie keine Grenzen gesetzt. So kann dieser Teil aus den verschiedensten Materialien hergestellt werden, wobei Holz sicher bevorzugt wird. Das Material kann natürlich auch Metall oder Kunststoff sein.There are no limits to the imagination for the construction of the distance clamping device set. So this part can be made of different materials, whereby Wood is certainly preferred. The material can of course also be metal or plastic.

Auch die Gestaltung der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung unterliegt der Kreativität. Wichtig dabei ist eigentlich nur, daß Mittel zur sicheren Führung des Drahtseiles gegeben sind und daß eine gute Abstützung an der Wand möglich ist.The design of the distance clamping device is also subject to creativity. Important it is really only that there are means for safely guiding the wire rope and that good support on the wall is possible.

Da die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen gegeneinander keine Kräfte aufnehmen müssen, ist das ganze System sehr belastbar. Die Spannkräfte werden von den Einhängbolzen aufgenommen. Since the distance clamping devices do not have to absorb any forces against each other the whole system is very resilient. The clamping forces are from the suspension bolts added.

Die Spannung des Drahtseiles bzw. der Anpreßdruck der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung an die Wand kann durch das Näherrücken der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung zum Einhängbolzen erhöht werden.The tension of the wire rope or the contact pressure of the distance tensioning device the wall can be attached to the suspension bolt by moving the distance clamping device closer increase.

Nach einem ganz besonderen Merkmal der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 2, verläuft das Endlos-Drahtseil zwischen den Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen zweimal. Mit dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es erstmals möglich eine Drahtseil-Garnitur für zwei Vorhänge oder dgl. herzustellen. Durch die hohe Belast8barkeit des Systems ist es durchaus möglich, einerseits einen dünnen Vorhang-Store und einen dichteren lichtundurchlässigen Vorhang aufzuhängen.According to a very special feature of the invention according to claim 2, it runs Endless wire rope between the distance tensioning devices twice. With this Embodiment of the invention, it is possible for the first time a wire rope set for two To produce curtains or the like. Due to the high resilience of the system it is quite possible, on the one hand a thin curtain store and a denser one hang up opaque curtain.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 3, weist die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung Dreiecksform auf, wobei sich die Hypothenuse an der Wand abstützt und die Bohrungen auf der Hypothenusennormalen vorgesehen sind. Bei einer derartigen Konstruktion der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung muß natürlich der Drahtseilteil vor dem Klemmen durch die Bohrung geführt werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention according to claim 3, the distance clamping device Triangular shape, with the hypotenuse resting on the wall and the holes are provided on the hypothenus normal. With such a Construction of the distance clamping device must of course the wire rope part before Clamps are passed through the hole.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 4, weist die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung Dreiecksform auf, wobei sich die Hypothenuse an der Wand abstützt und an der der Deckenseite zugewandten Kathete Kerben für die Aufnahme des Drahtseiles vorgesehen sind. Die Hypothenuse der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung kann auch eine vergrößerte Auflagefläche für den Kontakt mit der Wand aufweisen. Die Kerben erlauben auch eine überaus einfache Montage des Systems.According to a further feature of the invention according to claim 4, the distance clamping device Triangular shape, with the hypotenuse resting on the wall and on the catheter facing the ceiling notches for receiving the wire rope are provided. The hypotenuse of the distance clamping device can also be a have an enlarged contact surface for contact with the wall. Allow the notches also an extremely simple assembly of the system.

Die Erfindung wird an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispieles, das in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist, näher erläutert. Fig. 1 zeigt ein Fenster mit der Drahtseil-Garnitur und Fig. 2 eine Prinzip-Montageskizze.The invention is illustrated by an embodiment which is shown in the drawing is explained in more detail. Fig. 1 shows a window with the wire rope set and Fig. 2 one Principle assembly sketch.

Gemäß der Fig. 1 und 2 ist über dem Fenster 1 eine Drahtseil-Garnitur montiert. Dabei sind im Abstand von der Fensterkante die Einhängbolzen 2 in der Wand befestigt. Dies kann über eine einfache Dübbel-Befestigung erfolgen. Nach der Bestimmung der Drahtseillänge werden die beiden Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen 3 auf das Drahtseil 4 aufgefädelt. Nach dem Zusammenklemmen des Drahtseiles 4 zu einem Endlos-Drahtseil mit einer Drahtklemme 5 wird das Drahtseil 4 in die Einhängbolzen 2 eingehängt.1 and 2, a wire rope set is mounted over the window 1. Are there at a distance from the window edge, the hanging bolts 2 fastened in the wall. This can with a simple dowel attachment. After determining the wire rope length the two distance clamping devices 3 are threaded onto the wire rope 4. To the clamping of the wire rope 4 to an endless wire rope with one Wire clamp 5, the wire rope 4 is hooked into the suspension bolts 2.

Nun werden die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen 3 jeweils in die Richtung der Einhängbolzen 2 gedrückt, wodurch das Drahtseil 4 gestrafft wird und die Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen 3 an die horizontale Ebene bzw. Wand gedrückt werden.Now the distance clamping devices 3 are each in the direction of Hinged bolt 2 pressed, whereby the wire rope 4 is tightened and the distance clamping devices 3 are pressed against the horizontal plane or wall.

Die Endposition der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtungen 3 kann vom Anwender selber bestimmt werden. Ebenso kann auch die Position der Einhängbolzen 2 vom Anwender frei gewählt werden.The end position of the distance clamping devices 3 can be determined by the user himself become. Likewise, the position of the hanging bolts 2 can be freely selected by the user become.

Sollte vom Anwender die Seillänge wirklich zu lang gewählt worden sein, so kann relativ einfach über die Drahtseilklemme die Seillänge verkürzt werden. Im Gegensatz dazu ist bei einer falschen Wahl der Position der Einhängbolzen 2 nur ein relativ kleines Loch als Schaden gegeben, der leicht behoben werden kann.If the user has really chosen too long a rope, it can be relative simply shorten the rope length using the wire rope clamp. In contrast, at an incorrect choice of the position of the hinge pin 2 is only a relatively small hole Damage given that can be easily repaired.

Der Abstand von Einhängbolzen 2 und Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung 3 könnte nach einer einfachen Faustformel gewählt werden, wobei der minimalste Abstand mindestens die einfache Höhe der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung 3 sein sollte und der maximalste Abstand die dreifache Höhe der Distanz-Spann-Vorrichtung 3 nicht übersteigen sollte.The distance between the hanging bolt 2 and the distance clamping device 3 could be one simple rule of thumb can be chosen, with the minimum distance at least the simple height of the distance clamping device should be 3 and the maximum distance should not exceed three times the height of the distance clamping device 3.
