Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shutter od. Like. Movable closure surface of several with their longitudinal sides hinged slats or profile bars whose outer surfaces - at least in the closed position of the shutter - form a visible surface.
  • a longitudinal edge or side of the lamella / s is designed as a groove-shaped bearing shell which extends at a lateral distance from the roller shutter surface and, in order to form a joint, receives a hook-like longitudinal side of the adjacent lamella.
  • Such extruded from an aluminum alloy shutters are disclosed, for example, in the document to DE-U-87 12 982 with cross-sectionally curved slats and are used to temporarily close the openings of windows, doors or otherintensive devisbrüchen and as slatted doors to vehicle bodies or furniture. They are given the advantage of being able to be put together in a simple way.
  • the German Utility Model G 93 10 826.5 is to remove a roller shutter from a profiled in the rolling process thin sheet of aluminum alloy, which has an insert for stiffening and otherwise filled inside with insulating material.
  • the main walls of the profile strip are provided with grooves, which form a recess in the interior of the bar and are designed so that they keep the insert in the correct position.
  • the grooves are designed so that it is not necessary to take precautions in the manufacture of the strip to prevent the insert from slipping before the insulating material has been filled in and solidified. After the solidification has taken place, this function of the grooves is no longer necessary. However, they continue to be useful for stiffening the wall of the bar and for giving the bar an aesthetic appearance.
  • a disadvantage has been found that due to the large number of mutually articulated profile bars or fins made of aluminum with level - surface-refined by an anodization - Visible surface very small differences in reflectance visually very strong.
  • the inventor has set the goal to eliminate these shortcomings and to improve the visible surface of such roller shutter slats or profiles.
  • the joint area can be made more efficient.
  • the outer surface of the lamella or of the profile bar is subdivided by parallel lines into a plurality of longitudinal fields or surface strips, and at least one of the longitudinal fields has a cross-sectionally curved surface contour. Thanks to this requirement, the aforementioned optically negative effect is largely prevented; the flat and smooth visible surface of the individual lamellae is interrupted by waves of only a shallow depth; such waves - of preferably about 8 mm to 10 mm wide - can be made very accurately by extrusion.
  • the cross-sectional angle to be designated as a comb or as an opening angle should be between 170 ° and 178 °, preferably greater than 175 °.
  • This procedure achieves structuring on the lamellae side without destroying the overall appearance of the turret view in the desired elegant, quiet surface effect.
  • the surface contour of the longitudinal field of sections with different radii of curvature may be composed - for example, connects to a central portion of the surface contour on both sides in each case a portion of lesser curvature.
  • the individual lamellae touch on the visible side in the closed position of the shutter almost, whereby the separation between the individual profiles fits harmoniously into the desired wave pitch.
  • the concave curvature has been proven by the fact that between the successive recessed waves the mentioned ridge lines run as raised ribs; These are characterized - by careless handling od. Like. Interventions - possibly resulting abrasions and the latter are characterized by hardly visually.
  • the maximum distance of a plane determined by the ridgelines or the valley lines to the curved surface structure should be less than about one hundredth of the lamella height, preferably between 1% and 3% of the width of the longitudinal field. In particular, this maximum distance should measure about 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm in a longitudinal field of 10 mm to 11 mm.
  • the groove-like bearing shell at its gutter end a seat for a free edge of the hook-like longitudinal side and / or a cross-section iw straight trough legs as a stop for a straight hook web of the hook-like longitudinal side.
  • a seat is a leg of a damping acting plastic profile, which extends between the mutually moving surfaces of the two joint parts.
  • a total of vertically movable shutters 10 has a plurality of interconnected on their longitudinal sides and mutually pivotable slats or profile bars 12 which are extruded from an aluminum alloy.
  • a hinge part 14 is formed as a hook-like edge on the in Fig. 1 upper longitudinal side of the slats 12, which is inserted into a channel-like counter-joint part 16 of the adjacent slat 12 and added to a shutter joint 18.
  • the upper hinge part 14 of the lamella 12, which is upper in FIG. 1, comprises - seen in cross-section - a bend 20, one of this upwardly directed curve piece 22 with outgoing from the end, to the plane E of the blade 12 slightly inclined hooked web 24, the downward free edge 25 facing a likewise projecting from the bend 20, the slat plane E rectangular lower hook web 26 faces.
  • the lower hook web 26 is at one end equipped with a parallel to the shutter inner surface 11 extension piece 28 and the other end with a downwardly inwardly curved gutter edge 30, and he projects by a Kragbau a-- from here approximately 16 mm - from the inner surface 11 of the roller shutter. Between this and the extension piece 28 is formed on the bend 20 molded bar 32nd
  • the one-piece with the other longitudinal side of the blade 12 counter-joint part 16 consists of a downwardly open channel 34 part-circular cross-section with a subsequent, the roller shutter inner surface 11 inclined straight trough legs 35, the free leg end 36 a trough-like seat 37 for the free edge 25 of the upper hook web 24 of the subsequent downward slat 12 offers.
  • the straight gutter leg 35 serves to limit travel; he forms an Anchlag for the lower hook web 26.
  • the free end of the trough 36 is facing a leading edge 38 facing him.
  • the two joint parts 14, 16 of the two adjacent lamellae 12 are pushed together with the interposition of a groove-like plastic profile 40 on its part.
  • the recognizable in Fig. 8 plastic profile 40 is located with a cross-sectionally L-shaped wall portion 42 of the upper hook web 24 on the outside and engages with its lower short leg 43, the free edge 25 of the hook web 24.
  • the wall portion 42 goes into a - cross-section a quarter circle corresponding curved tube surface portion 44, from which a molded-on rib 46 rises.
  • the tube surface portion 44 provides on the outside a limited by two beads 47 receiving groove 48 for the Leading edge 38 of the aufdinde on the plastic profile 40 counter-joint part 16 at.
  • the height h of the visible or outer surface 50 of the lamella 12 here measures about 70 mm, the distance q between the free edge 25 of the upper joint part 14 with the free groove end 36 of the lower counter-joint part 16 about 73 mm.
  • the outer radius r of the adjoining the roller shutter inner surface 11 cross-sectionally curved channel portion 34 about the center M of the contour of the trough-like seat 37 is about 10 mm, the Kragpen i the nose strip 38 here 1 mm; this corresponds approximately to the profile thickness e of 0.8 mm. From the outside of the channel section 34 protrude parallel to the roller shutter inner surface 11 on the one hand, a pair of bearing strips 52 and on the other an inwardly inclined outer comb strip 54th
  • the visible surface 50 of the lamella 12 is subdivided into five longitudinal fields 60 of width b of 10 mm and two outer fields 62 of slightly greater width b 1 .
  • 2-the formation of parallel ridge lines 64 as field boundary-the surface contour of each of the longitudinal or outer fields 60, 62 is concave in cross-section; from ridge line 64 to ridge line 64 extends a single radius R associated surface contour 66 whose - in Fig. 2 excessive reproduced - maximum distance n to a determined by the ridge lines 64 level K is between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm , in particular 0.15 mm.
  • a cross-sectional or comb angle w limited by the cross-sectional limbs of the ridge-like ridge line 64 lies between 170 ° and 179 °, in the illustrated embodiment at 177 °.
  • Fig. 3 is set - in another embodiment - the surface contour of a central portion 66 a of the radius R on both sides, each with an outer portion 66 b of the width f lesser inclination - radius R 1 - to the plane K on.
  • the total depth is denoted by n.
  • valley lines 68 recessed instead of the ridgelines are used as boundaries of the longitudinal fields 60, 62, ie the curved surface contour 70 is convex here with a maximum height n 1 above the plane K determined by the vertical lines 68, whose dimension that corresponds to the depth or distance n given to the other examples.
