Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz einer Dachrinne gegen Verunreinigungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for protecting a gutter against Impurities according to the preamble of claim 1.

Dachrinnen können durch Laub und andere Verunreinigungen nach und nach ausgefüllt werden. In der Folge fließt das anfallende Regenwasser nur noch zögernd ab. Auch ist schneller ein Überlauf der Regenrinnen zu beobachten. Es sind deshalb Maßnahmen von Vorteil, die Laub und andere Verunreinigungen aus der Regenrinne fernhalten.Gutters can gradually fill with leaves and other contaminants become. As a result, the accumulated rainwater flows only hesitantly from. Also is faster to watch an overflow of the gutters. It is therefore measures of Advantage that keep leaves and other contaminants out of the gutter.

Aus der DE 92 13 325 U, der DE 90 06 981 U und der DE 17 59 441 A ist es bekannt, in den Dachrinnentrog einer Dachrinne ein geschlitztes Filterrohr mit einer netzförmigen oder gelochten Mantelfläche einzulegen. Dadurch bleibt das Laub außen auf dem Filterrohr, während das anfallende Regenwasser in den Dachrinnentrog hineinläuft und innerhalb desselben abfließt. Das Laub oder dergleichen wird über das Filterrohr abgeführt.From DE 92 13 325 U, DE 90 06 981 U and DE 17 59 441 A it is known in the gutter trough of a gutter a slotted filter tube with a net-shaped or perforated jacket surface. This leaves the leaves on the outside Filter tube while the resulting rainwater runs into the gutter trough and flows within it. The foliage or the like is over the filter tube dissipated.

Feste Teilchen, z. B. Staubklumpen, Laubkrümel, Blütenstaub oder dergleichen, gelangen durch die Netzoberfläche oder die Lochung des Filterrohres in den Dachrinnentrog hinein. Bei ausreichendem Wasserdurchfluß werden einige Teilchen mitgerissen und aus dem Dachrinnentrog herausgespült. Andere Teilchen bleiben in der Netzstruktur oder Löchern des Filterrohres hängen und damit im Dachrinnentrog liegen. Sie hemmen den Wasserablauf und die Abfuhr neu hinzukommender Teilchen.Solid particles, eg. As dust clumps, leaves crumbs, pollen or the like, get through the net surface or the perforation of the filter tube into the gutter trough. With sufficient water flow some particles are entrained and from the Rinsed gutter trough. Other particles remain in the mesh structure or holes hang the filter tube and thus lie in the gutter trough. They inhibit that Water drainage and the removal of newly added particles.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art weiter zu verbessern, durch Verringerung der Verschmutzungsanfälligkeit und zur Erleichterung des Austrags von Verschmutzungen. The invention is based on the object, the device of the aforementioned To further improve its nature, by reducing the susceptibility to pollution and to Facilitating the discharge of contaminants.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Demnach weist mindestens ein im Dachrinnentrog zu liegen kommender Bereich des Füterrohres wenigstens eine durchgehend geschlossene, insbesondere glatte, Mantelfläche auf, die an einen Netzbereich des Filterrohrs angrenzt. Schmutzteilchen lagern sich auf dieser Oberfläche nicht mehr ab, sondern können von dem anfallenden Regenwasser entlang der Dachrinne fortgespült werden.According to the invention the object is achieved by a device according to the features of Claim 1 solved. Accordingly, at least one to lie in the gutter trough Coming range of Füterrohres at least one continuously closed, in particular smooth, circumferential surface adjacent to a mesh area of the filter tube. Dirt particles are no longer deposited on this surface but can be removed from the accumulated rainwater along the gutter be washed away.

Das herkömmliche und eine durchgehend netzförmige Oberfläche aus üblicherweise Längssträngen und Umfangssträngen aufweisende Filterrohr kann in Längsrichtung geschlitzt ausgebildet sein, wobei der Längsschlitz vorzugsweise im tiefsten Punkt des Dachrinnentrogs zu liegen kommt. Auch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ein Filterrohr mit Längsschlitz aufweisen. In diesem Fall sind die an den Schlitz beidseitig angrenzenden Randbereiche mit geschlossener Oberfläche ausgeführt. Gerade an diesen Bereichen läuft das abfließende Regenwasser entlang. Das Vorsehen einer geschlossenen Oberfläche ist hier besonders effektiv. Das Filterrohr ist elastisch verformbar. Dadurch kann eine Anpassung an unterschiedlich große Dachrinnen erfolgen. Der Klemmeffekt des Filterrohres bleibt stets erhalten. Die Randbereiche mit geschlossener Oberfläche können einander überlappen. Vorzugsweise weisen dann die Randbereiche einen spitz auslaufenden Querschnitt auf, das heißt sie werden zum freien Rand hin dünner. Auf diese Weise wird trotz eingelegtem Filterrohr weiterhin die voll Tiefe des Dachrinnentroges genutzt. Bei vorgesehener Überlappung der Randbereiche kann das Filterrohr einfacher in den Dachrinnentrog eingelegt werden, da die spitzen Randbereiche leicht aneinander vorbei bewegbar sind. Außerdem entsteht im Bereich der Überlappung keine störende Naht.The conventional and a continuous reticulated surface usually Longitudinal strands and circumferential strands filter tube can in the longitudinal direction be formed slotted, wherein the longitudinal slot preferably in the lowest point of the Gutter troughs come to rest. The device according to the invention can also be Have filter tube with longitudinal slot. In this case, they are on both sides of the slot adjacent edge areas with closed surface executed. Especially at this Areas runs down the runoff rainwater. The provision of a closed surface is particularly effective here. The filter tube is elastically deformable. This allows an adaptation to differently sized gutters. Of the Clamping effect of the filter tube is always maintained. The border areas with closed Surface can overlap each other. Preferably then have the edge regions a pointed expiring cross-section, that is, they are the free edge thinner. In this way, despite the inserted filter tube continues to full depth of Gutter trough used. In intended overlap of the edge areas, the Filter tube easier to be inserted into the gutter trough, as the pointed edge areas easy to move past each other. Moreover arises in the area of overlap no annoying seam.

Die geschlossenen Randbereiche erstrecken sich etwa über ¼ bis ½ des Gesamtumfangs des in den Dachrinnentrog eingelegten Filterrohres. Die Hauptfunktion des Filterrohres, das Durchlassen des Regenwassers bei gleichzeitigem Abhalten von Verunreinigungen, bleibt somit erhalten.The closed edge areas extend approximately ¼ to ½ of the total circumference of the inserted into the gutter trough filter tube. The main function of the filter tube, the passage of rainwater while keeping away contaminants, is thus preserved.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Längsstränge netzförmiger Bereiche des Filterrohres als nach außen überstehende Stege ausgebildet, insbesondere Stege unterschiedlicher Höhe. Dadurch kommen einzelne Blätter nicht auf der netzförmigen Oberfläche zu liegen. Gerade nasses, durchgeweichtes Laub kann auch auf der netzförmigen Oberfläche haften bleiben. Dies wird durch die vorgesehenen Stege vermieden. Der Abtrag von Blättern durch leichte Luftbewegungen wird dadurch begünstigt. Je nach angestrebtem Zweck können die Stege in unterschiedlicher Weise ausgebildet und angeordnet sein. Gerade im oberen Bereich des Filterrohres können höhere Stege als Führungen für das anfallende Regenwasser wirken. Zur Seite gerichtete Stege können als Montagehilfe beim Einlegen des Filterrohres in den Dachrinnentrog dienen, gegebenenfalls auch als Rastelement. Auch können die Stege gegenüber der radialen Richtung abgewinkelt sein, mit geradem oder gebogenem Querschnitt. Dadurch ist eine verbesserte Wasserleitfunktion der Stege möglich. Auch können speziell verformte bzw. abgewinkelte Stege Halte- und Rastfunktionen in Verbindung mit dem Dachrinnentrog oder der benachbarten Dachtraufe übernehmen.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal strands net-shaped areas of the filter tube designed as outwardly projecting webs, especially webs of different heights. As a result, individual leaves do not come up the net-shaped surface to lie. Just wet, soaked foliage can too stick to the reticulated surface. This is through the provided webs avoided. The removal of leaves by light air movements is characterized favored. Depending on the desired purpose, the webs in different ways be formed and arranged. Especially in the upper part of the filter tube can higher webs act as guides for the accumulated rainwater. Directed to the side Webs can be used as an assembly aid when inserting the filter tube in the gutter trough serve, optionally also as a locking element. Also, the webs opposite be angled in the radial direction, with straight or curved cross-section. This is an improved Wasserleitfunktion the webs possible. Also, specially deformed or Angled webs holding and locking functions in conjunction with take over the gutter trough or the neighboring eaves.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Stege einen Überstand über die Umfangsstränge von mindestens 0,5 cm insbesondere 1 cm bis 5 cm, vorzugsweise 1 cm bis 2 cm auf. Zwischen überstehenden Stegen sind vorzugsweise ein oder mehrere Längsstränge ohne oder mit verringertem Überstand vorgesehen. Gerade bei einer feineren Netzstruktur wird auf diese Weise eine einfache zugängliche und leicht zu reinigende Oberfläche erzielt.Preferably, the webs have a projection over the peripheral strands of at least 0.5 cm, in particular 1 cm to 5 cm, preferably 1 cm to 2 cm on. Between protruding ridges are preferably one or more longitudinal strands with or without reduced Supernatant provided. Especially with a finer network structure This will be an easy accessible and accessible way easy to clean surface achieved.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Filterrohr aus Kunststoff, insbesondere durch Extrusion, hergestellt. Eine kostengünstige Fertigung ist so möglich.Advantageously, the filter tube made of plastic, in particular by extrusion, produced. An inexpensive Manufacturing is possible.

Die Randbereiche können durch Koextrusion an die netzförmigen Bereiche angespritzt sein. Auch können die Randbereiche durch mit den netzförmigen Bereichen verbundene, insbesondere angeschweißte Folienstücke gebildet sein. In derselben Weise können auch die überstehenden Längsstränge bzw. Stege hergestellt und gegebenenfalls mit der übrigen Netzstruktur verbunden sein. Vorzugsweise sind die Stege erhöht ausgebildete Längsstränge. Die genannten Herstellungsmöglichkeiten lassen es zu, die Randbereiche aus einem anderen Material (Kunststoff) zu bilden als die netzförmigen Bereiche.The edge areas can be coextruded to the net shape Be splashed areas. Also, the border areas can through connected to the reticulated areas, in particular welded Be formed film pieces. In the same way also the protruding longitudinal strands or webs can be produced and optionally with the rest of the network structure be connected. Preferably, the webs are formed increased Longitudinal strands. The mentioned production possibilities let it to, the edge areas of another material (plastic) too form as the reticulated areas.

Es wird ausgegangen von einer üblichen Dachrinnenkonstruktion wie beispielsweise in der DE 92 13 325 01 oder DE 90 06 981 U gezeigt. Unter einem Dach 10 ist seitlich eine Dachrinne 11 befestigt. Diese weist einen Dachrinnentrog 12 auf, der von am Dach befestigten Haltern 13 gehalten ist.It is based on a common gutter construction as shown for example in DE 92 13 325 01 or DE 90 06 981 U. Under a Roof 10 is attached laterally a gutter 11. This points a gutter trough 12 on, from roof-mounted holders 13 is held.

Ein dem Dach 10 abgewandter Rand 14 des Dachrinnentrogs 12 ist auswärts gebogen, während ein hierzu gegenüberliegender, dachseitiger Rand 15 einwärts gebogen ist.A roof 10 facing away from the edge 14 of the gutter trough 12 is bent outwards, while an opposite, roof-side Edge 15 is bent inwards.

Der Halter 13 erstreckt sich als schmaler Streifen naturgemäß nur über einen kurzen Abschnitt der Länge des Dachrinnentroges 12, ist an einem Ende 16 mit dem Dach 10 verbunden und erstreckt sich mit dem anderen Ende 17 bis unter den abwärts gebogenen Rand 14 des Dachrinnentroges 12.The holder 13 extends naturally as a narrow strip only over a short section of the length of the gutter trough 12, is connected at one end 16 to the roof 10 and extends itself with the other end 17 to under the downward bent Edge 14 of the gutter trough 12.

In den Dachrinnentrog 12 ist ein längliches Filterrohr 18 eingelegt, das zur Durchmesseränderung und zur Erzeugung einer Federvorspannung elastisch verformbar ist. Das Filterrohr 18 allein ist in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigt und besteht aus einem mittleren Netzbereich 19 und Randbereichen 20, 21 mit jeweils geschlossener, glatter Oberfläche, die einen Teil der im übrigen netzartigen Mantelfläche des Filterrohres 18 bildet. Im Netzbereich verlaufen Umfangsstränge 22 in Umfangsrichtung und Längsstränge 23 in Richtung einer Längsmittelachse 24 des Filterrohres 18.In the gutter trough 12, an elongated filter tube 18 is inserted, to change the diameter and to produce a Spring preload is elastically deformable. The filter tube 18 alone is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and consists of a middle mesh area 19 and edge areas 20, 21, respectively closed, smooth surface, which forms part of the remaining net-like lateral surface of the filter tube 18 forms. in the Net area extending circumferential strands 22 in the circumferential direction and Longitudinal strands 23 in the direction of a longitudinal central axis 24 of the Filter tube 18.

In allen gezeigten Ausführungsformen ist das Filterrohr 18 geschlitzt ausgebildet. Je nach Größe der Dachrinne 11 ist zwischen den geschlossenen Randbereichen 20, 21 ein Längsschlitz 25 oder eine Überlappung 26 vorhanden. Die geschlossenen Randbereiche 20, 21 sind gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Längsschlitzes 25 zugeordnet. Das Filterrohr in der Ausführung gemäß Fig. 1 wird so in den Dachrinnentrog 12 eingelegt, daß der Längsschlitz 25 in der gezeigten Form erhalten bleibt. Das Regenwasser läuft dann über den (nicht gezeigten) Boden des Dachrinnentroges und die geschlossenen Oberflächen der Randbereiche 20, 21 ab (je nach Wasserstand). Eventuelle Verunreinigungen werden durch das abfließende Wasser mitgerissen und können sich im Filterrohr 18 nicht ablagern.In all embodiments shown, the filter tube 18 is slotted educated. Depending on the size of the gutter 11 is between the closed edge regions 20, 21 a longitudinal slot 25 or an overlap 26 exists. The closed edge regions 20, 21 are opposite Sides of the longitudinal slot 25 assigned. The filter tube in the 1 is inserted into the gutter trough 12, that the longitudinal slot 25 obtained in the form shown remains. The rainwater then runs over the (not shown) Floor of the gutter trough and the closed surfaces the edge regions 20, 21 (depending on the water level). any Impurities are entrained by the outflowing water and can not settle in the filter tube 18.

In der Ausführung gemäß Fig. 2 läuft das Wasser auf den Oberflächen der geschlossenen und einander teilweise überlappenden Randbereiche 20, 21. Zur besseren Unterscheidbarkeit ist der linke Randbereich schraffiert und der rechte geschwärzt dargestellt. Tatsächlich sind beide gleichermaßen ausgebildet und geschnitten dargestellt, und zwar ebenso in Fig. 1. Zur Erleichterung der Überlappung laufen die Randbereiche 20, 21 in Fig. 2 spitz zu, das heißt sie sind zu den freien Rändern 27, 28 hin mit abnehmender Dicke ausgebildet.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the water runs on the surfaces the closed and partially overlapping one another Edge regions 20, 21. For better distinctness is the the left margin hatched and the right blackened. In fact, both are equally trained and shown in cut, and also in Fig. 1. For relief the overlap run the edge regions 20, 21 in Fig. 2 pointed, that is they are to the free edges 27, 28 formed with decreasing thickness.

In Fig. 3 ist das unverformte Filterrohr 18 so bemessen, daß die Randbereiche 20, 21 einander gerade nicht überlappen bzw. ein nur schmaler Längsschlitz 25 vorhanden ist. Auch hier weisen die Randbereiche 20, 21 zu den Rändern hin abnehmende Dicken auf. Durch ein Zusammendrücken des Filterrohres 18 können die Randbereiche 20, 21 mehr oder weniger stark überlappen. Dabei erhält das Filterrohr 18 eine elastische Vorspannung bzw. Eigenspannung im Sinne der Neigung des Filterrohres 18, seinen Durchmesser zu vergrößern. Diese Vorspannung sorgt auch für einen Halt des Filterrohres 18 im Dachrinnentrog 12.In Fig. 3, the undeformed filter tube 18 is dimensioned so that the edge regions 20, 21 do not overlap one another or a narrow longitudinal slot 25 is present. Here too have the edge regions 20, 21 decreasing towards the edges Thickness up. By squeezing the filter tube 18th the edge areas 20, 21 more or less strong overlap. In this case, the filter tube 18 is replaced by an elastic Preload or residual stress in the sense of the inclination of Filter tube 18 to increase its diameter. These Preload also ensures a grip of the filter tube 18 in Roof trough 12.

Eine Besonderheit in Fig. 3 ist die Gestaltung einzelner Längsstränge. Einige sind nämlich mit in radialer Richtung vergrößerter Abmessung und demnach stegartig und über die Stärke der Umfangsstränge 22 hinausstehend ausgebildet. Die derart abgewandelten Längsstränge sind als Stege 29 bis 33 bezeichnet. Zwischen diesen sind Längsstränge 23 mit der Höhe der Umfangsstränge 22 vorgesehen, und zwar jeweils abwechselnd ein Längsstrang 23 und ein stegartig überhöhter Längsstrang (Stege 29 bis 33).A special feature in Fig. 3 is the design of individual longitudinal strands. Some are in the radial direction enlarged dimension and therefore web-like and over the Thickness of the circumferential strands 22 protruding out. The Such modified longitudinal strands are referred to as webs 29 to 33. Between these are longitudinal strands 23 with the height of the Circumferential strands 22 are provided, in each case alternately Longitudinal section 23 and a web-like elevated longitudinal line (bridges 29 to 33).

Die Stege 29 bis 33 sind etwa im oberen Drittel des Gesamtumfangs des Filterrohres 18 angeordnet, jedenfalls nur in nicht am Dachrinnentrog 12 anliegenden Umfangsbereichen.The webs 29 to 33 are approximately in the upper third of the total circumference arranged the filter tube 18, at least only in not at the gutter trough 12 adjacent peripheral areas.

Die Stege 29 bis 33 weisen eine Höhe von 1 cm bis 2 cm auf, mindestens jedoch 0,5 cm und bis zu 5 cm.The webs 29 to 33 have a height of 1 cm to 2 cm, at least 0.5 cm and up to 5 cm.

Eine Besonderheit ergibt sich noch anhand der Fig. 4. Dort ist nur der obere Abschnitt des Filterrohres 18 gezeigt. Die Stege 34 bis 38 sind hier abgewinkelt bzw. gekrümmt ausgebildet und zwar in Richtung auf das Dach 10. Das vom Dach 10 herabströmende Regenwasser wird von den Stegen 34 bis 38 auf dem Filterrohr 18 zurückgehalten. Die gezeigte Krümmung verhindert oder reduziert ein seitliches Überfließen der Stege 34 bis 38.A peculiarity still results from the Fig. 4. There is only the upper portion of the filter tube 18 is shown. The bridges 34 to 38 are here angled or curved and trained Although in the direction of the roof 10. The from the roof 10 Downstream rainwater is from the webs 34 to 38 on retained the filter tube 18. The curvature shown prevents or reduces lateral overflow of the webs 34 to 38th

Die seitlichen Stege 34 und 38 sind kürzer ausgebildet als die oberen Stege 35, 36 und 37. Dadurch ist ein einfacheres Einführen des Filterrohres 18 in die vorgegebene lichte Weite des Dachrinnentroges 12 in Verbindung mit dem Dach 10 gegeben.The lateral webs 34 and 38 are formed shorter than the Upper webs 35, 36 and 37. This is a simpler insertion the filter tube 18 in the predetermined clear width of the Gutter trough 12 in conjunction with the roof 10 given.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Rastung zwischen dem dachseitigen, seitlichen Steg 33 und dem einwärts gebogenen Rand 15 des Dachrinnentroges 12. Beim Einlegen des Filterrohres 18 wird dieses so weit in den Dachrinnentrog eingedrückt, bis der seitliche Steg 33 hinter den Rand 15 greift.Fig. 3 shows a detent between the roof side, lateral Web 33 and the inwardly bent edge 15 of the gutter trough 12. When inserting the filter tube 18, this is so far in pushed in the gutter trough until the lateral web 33 behind the edge 15 attacks.

Die in Fig. 4 schraffiert gezeichneten Stege 39 bis 41 weisen eine Abwinkelung oder Krümmung entgegengesetzt den Stegen 34 bis 38 auf und können alternativ zu diesen vorgesehen sein. Diese Ausführung erleichtert das Abrutschen von Blattwerk vom Dach 10 bis über das Filterrohr 18.The hatched in Fig. 4 drawn webs 39 to 41 have a bend or bend opposite the webs 34 to 38 and may be provided as an alternative to these. This design facilitates the slipping of foliage from Roof 10 to over the filter tube 18th

Das Filterrohr 18 ist vollständig aus Kunststoff hergestellt, insbesondere durch Extrusion. Dies gilt auch für die glatten Randbereiche 20, 21 und die Stege 29 bis 41, die vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Filterrohr 18 verbunden sind, aber aus unterschiedlichen Kunststoffen bestehen können. Die abgewinkelten bzw. gekrümmten Stege 34 bis 41 werden bei ihrer Herstellung vorgeformt. The filter tube 18 is made entirely of plastic, in particular by extrusion. This also applies to the smooth Edge regions 20, 21 and the webs 29 to 41, preferably are integrally connected to the filter tube 18, but off different plastics can exist. The angled ones or curved webs 34 to 41 are at their Preformed production.
