Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roller shutter, in particular a roller shutter for a tool cabinet, with profile bars which are connected to one another in a pivotally movable and longitudinally displaceable manner and which are movably guided in guide elements arranged on the side of the roller shutter.
  • Roller shutters are often composed of profile bars made of wood, steel, sheet metal, light metal or plastics, which are guided in guide elements arranged on the side of the roller shutter.
  • the individual profile bars are pivotally connected to one another, sometimes with the interposition of special fastening elements, so that after the “opening” of the roller shutter it can either be rolled up in a suitable roller shutter box or can be guided on special curved tracks in the relevant tool cabinet or the like.
  • Profile bars which are pivotally connected to one another can generally be displaced in the longitudinal direction relative to one another. Such a displacement of the individual profile bars against each other has the disadvantage that this can lead to jamming of the roller shutter.
  • German laid-open specification 43 01 070 describes mounting elements which are fastened to the profile bars of a roller shutter and the adjacent profile bars overlap the front of the roller shutter. This prevents the individual profile bars from sliding sideways if every second profile bar is connected to such a holding element on each of the two sides of the roller shutter. Since the holding element only overlaps the adjacent profile bars, but is not connected to them, only a displacement of the adjacent profile bars relative to one another in one of the possible directions is avoided. For this reason, the mounting elements must engage on both end faces of the profile bars, a mounting element being fastened to one front side of the profile bar and the mounting elements fastened to the adjacent profile bars overlapping them on the other front side of the profile bar. A large number of mounting elements must therefore be attached to both end faces of the roller shutter using a fixed attachment system.
  • a one-piece limiting element is described in German Patent 42 25 179.
  • the respective profiled bars are provided near each of their ends with a pair of slot-shaped openings running parallel to the longitudinal extension of the respective profiled bar, through which pass bands which prevent the profiled bars from shifting relative to one another.
  • the longitudinal extent of the slot-shaped openings in the respective bars must be matched exactly to the width of the strips. However, this makes the threading of the strips through the individual profile bars more difficult due to the very small play between openings and strips.
  • the attachment of a one-piece, flexible connecting element offers the advantage of a very simple assembly on the roller shutter, because it is not necessary to fasten a large number of individual parts in a predetermined geometric arrangement to the individual profile bars of the roller shutter.
  • the end-side fastening of the connecting element is advantageous since the roller shutter, at least in the viewable area of the user, is usually guided in guide elements arranged on the side of the roller shutter. In this way, on the one hand, the attachment of the connecting element is not visually recognizable and therefore cannot have a disruptive effect, on the other hand, the connecting element can be designed so that it slides easily in the surrounding guide element and thus the movement of the roller shutter or the blind is particularly smooth.
  • the profiled bars each have a first hollow profile running in the longitudinal direction of the profiled bar and a second hollow profile running in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profile bar, complementary to the first hollow profile, several profiled bars being pivotally connectable to one another, by arranging the first hollow profile of a profile bar in the second hollow profile of an adjacent, second profile bar.
  • the execution of the individual profile bars with hollow profiles is advantageous because the subdivision into longitudinal, separated cabbage profiles leads to a high rigidity of the individual profile bars and at the same time serves the pivotable connection of the individual profile bars with one another by the formation of complementarily shaped hollow profiles. At the same time, a structure is created on the end faces of the profile bars, which allows the one-piece, flexible connecting element to be fastened comfortably.
  • the one-piece, flexible connecting element preferably comprises an elongated web part and a plurality of fastening elements rigidly connected to the web part.
  • the elongated web part runs along the end faces of the profile bars to the side of the roller shutter and in the longitudinal direction of the guide elements.
  • the fastening elements rigidly connected to the web part serve to attach the connecting element to the side of the roller shutter.
  • the fastening elements each engage the profile rods from the end faces of the profile rods, the fastening elements preferably engaging in the first hollow profile of each profile rod.
  • the first hollow profile has a substantially circular cross section.
  • a circular design of the first hollow profile has the advantage that the pivotally movable connection of two adjacent profile bars, which is brought about by the interlocking of a complementary shaped second hollow profile with the first, essentially circular hollow profile, the two hollow bars have a particularly easy pivoting movement to each other.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the hollow profile is not important for the attachment of the fastening elements from the end faces of the profile rods into the first hollow profile of a profile rod, since the shape of the fastening elements can be matched in any way to the cross-sectional shape of the first hollow profiles.
  • both the profiled bars and the connecting element are made of plastic, a plastic material with high flexibility being preferred for the connecting element.
  • a large number of modern plastics known in the art have a sufficiently high flexibility to permit the attachment of a one-piece connecting element according to the invention to the end faces of the profiled bars even when a roller shutter is rolled up in a roller shutter box.
  • Fig. 1 shows a roller shutter, which is generally designated by reference number 10 and on one side of which a connecting element 14 is fastened to the end faces of the profiled bars 12.
  • a roller shutter as shown in Fig. 1, is mainly used on the one hand on windows and doors, on the other hand in general on furniture, such as tool cabinets. Unlike blinds, roller shutters also have to withstand mechanical stress so that they are usually made up of individual, rigid elements. Since roller shutters in the art usually come after opening in specially provided storage spaces in the form of roller shutter boxes in which the roller shutters are rolled up or moved in the form of special curved tracks in the relevant cabinet, a roller shutter must, despite the rigid elements to which it is structured, be sufficiently flexible, for example, to allow itself to be rolled up. For this reason, the rigid elements, hereinafter referred to as profile bars, are usually connected to one another in an articulated manner so that the individual profile bars can be pivoted relative to one another. A large number of such articulated connections between individual profiled bars are known in the art, so that in the following Embodiment is only discussed in more detail on a special form of connection between individual profile bars.
  • the profile bars 12 are made with a large length and then shortened to the desired dimension for creating a specific roller shutter.
  • the profile bars 12 are then pushed into one another, the sliding movement taking place in the longitudinal direction of the profile bars.
  • the profiled bars are shaped along both longitudinal end faces in such a way that an identically designed profiled bar can be pivotally attached on both sides. As a result, roller shutters of any length can be formed.
  • the connecting element 14 consists of a web part 16 and fastening elements 18 which are connected to the web part 16.
  • the fastening elements 18 engage in the individual profile bars 12 and establish a firm, frictional or positive connection with the profile bars 12.
  • a fastening element 18 is inserted into each individual profile bar 12.
  • the web part 16 already forms a stop, this need not necessarily be the case.
  • the connecting element 14 is attached to a profile bar 12 only in every second or third profile bar, or else in larger or irregular intervals.
  • the fastening elements 18 can be fastened in the profiled bars 12 in many different ways;
  • the fastening elements 18 can be shaped similar to dowels and, due to the molded barbs, facilitate insertion into the profile bars, but make removal much more difficult.
  • a very simply shaped fastening element 18 can also be used in the same way if the friction between the fastening element 18 and the correspondingly shaped cavity in the profile bar 12 is very high.
  • the connecting element 14 is integrally formed, i. H. when a connection element is attached to a roller shutter on both sides, only two connection elements 14 are required for this. Due to the frontal attachment of the connecting element 14 to the profile bars 12, the connecting elements 14 are generally not visible because they run within the guide elements arranged on the side of the roller shutter.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a profile bar and the pivotable connection between two profile bars designed in the same way.
  • the two profile bars 12a and 12b are shown in a sectional view, the section was carried out parallel to the end face of the profile bars 12a and 12b.
  • Both profile bars have the same shape, which is preferably produced by means of a plastic injection molding process.
  • the profile bars 12a, 12b each have a plurality of cavities, which increase the bending stiffness of the profile bars.
  • first hollow profiles 20 and second hollow profiles 24 are relevant for understanding the pivotable connection.
  • Each profile bar has both a first hollow profile 20 and a second hollow profile 24, each of which extends along the longitudinal end faces of the profile bars in the longitudinal direction thereof.
  • the second hollow profile is complementary to the first hollow profile, i. H. the first hollow profile 20 can be inserted into the second hollow profile 24, as shown by the connection of the profile bars 12a and 12b.
  • the first hollow profile 20 can only be inserted into the second hollow profile 24 in the longitudinal direction of the profile bars, i. H. in a direction of movement that is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Accordingly, it is also not possible to separate the two profile bars 12a and 12b by moving in a direction running in the plane of the drawing.
  • connection of the two profile bars 12a and 12b forms a joint which allows the two profile bars to be pivoted about an axis of rotation 26 which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and is located within the first hollow profile 20.
  • axis of rotation 26 which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and is located within the first hollow profile 20.
  • the fastening of a connecting element 14 follows, as described above, by fastening elements 18 engaging in the profiled bars 12.
  • fastening elements 18 engaging in the profiled bars 12.
  • the fastening elements preferably engage in the first hollow profiles 20 of the profile bars.
  • FIG. 3 A strongly schematically illustrated embodiment of a connecting element 14 is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the connecting element 14, which preferably consists of a plastic with high flexibility, is composed, as described above, of a web part 16 and fastening elements 18.
  • the connecting elements are preferably produced with a long length and, adapted to the respective length of a roller shutter, are cut off after being attached to the roller shutter.
  • the connecting element 14 consists of a web part 16 with a circular or rectangular cross-section, on which the fastening elements 18 with a likewise circular or rectangular cross-section are molded.
  • the fastening elements 18, deviating from the shape shown in FIG. 3 can also have barbs which make it difficult for them to slip out of the respective hollow profiles of the profile bars.
  • the fastening elements 18 are molded onto the web part 16 at regular intervals. As already described above, it is also conceivable that the fastening elements are attached to the web part 16 at irregular intervals, however, the distances between the individual fastening elements must be a multiple of the distance between the hollow profiles provided for receiving the fastening elements 18. However, the fastening elements 18 are preferably arranged at regular intervals, the distance corresponding to the distance between the hollow profiles provided for fastening on the individual profile bars and thus the dimensions of the profile bars in the longitudinal direction of the connecting element 14.
  • FIG. 4 shows the fastening of the connecting element 14 shown in FIG. 3 to a roller shutter formed from profiled bars according to FIG. 2.
  • the hollow profiles 20 and 24 can additionally be seen schematically in FIG. 4 next to the connecting element 14.
  • the connecting element 14 consists of a material which is so flexible that the roller shutter 10 can be rolled up with one or two connecting elements attached to it laterally in a roller shutter box or the like. Both in Fig. 1 and in Fig. 4 are not shown guide elements that can be arranged in the form of plastic, metal or wooden rails on both sides of the roller shutter.
  • These guide elements have a longitudinally extending recess in which the roller shutter, in particular the connecting element 14 and the profiled bars 12 in the immediate vicinity of their ends, are guided with play. Due to the attachment of the connecting element 14, one is possible Moving in the longitudinal direction of the interconnected profile bars prevented and thus eliminated the risk of jamming the roller shutter in the recesses of the guide elements. In addition, the attachment of a connecting element reduces the friction when moving the roller shutter in the guide elements, because on the one hand the web part of the connecting element is designed so that it has a smooth surface on the sides facing the walls of the guide element, and on the other hand the resulting frictional forces due to the small contact area reduced.
