The slats are then moved down or up accordingly into the closed position. The slat support is held in a circumferential conveyor member (4) which can be a conveyor chain or steel belt.

Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ein Lamellenstore gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention is a slat blind according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Derartige lamellanstores sind beispielsweise als Ganzmetallstores bekannt. Das Heben und Senken der Lamellen erfolgt bei herkömmlichen Lamellenstores mittels eines Aufzugsbandes oder einer Rollenkette, die hand- oder motorgetrieben sein können. Das Senken erfolgt durch Schwerkraft oder Kettenantrieb. Ein Positionieren und Schwenken der Lamellen ist mittels faltbaren Distanzgliedern, Pantographen und Seilelementen möglich. Beim Absenken der Store gleitet aufgrund der Antriebsart der gesamte Lamellenstapel nach unten und bildet oben den Behang.Such lamellanstores are known for example as all-metal stores. The lifting and lowering of the slats takes place in conventional slatted blinds by means of an elevator belt or a roller chain, which can be manual or motor-driven. The sinking is done by gravity or chain drive. A positioning and pivoting of the slats is possible by means of foldable spacers, pantographs and rope elements. When the store is lowered, the entire stack of lamellae slides downwards due to the type of drive and forms the curtain at the top.

Die Nachteile der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsformen sind zahlreich.

  • Beispielsweise ist bei Ganzmetallstoren ein Schwenken der Lamellen erst möglich, wenn sich die vorgegebene Distanz der Lamelle eingestellt hat.
  • Die faltbaren Distanzglieder, die die Lamellen auf Abstand halten, sind störanfällig.
  • Ein horizontales oder schräges Verschieben der Lamellen ist nur bedingt möglich.
  • Eine Hochschiebesicherung der Lamellen ergibt sich nur im Falle eines Zwangsantriebes, oder wenn eine zusätzliche Verriegelung eingebaut ist.
  • Ein weiterer grosser Nachteil der Antriebsvorrichtungen des Stands der Technik liegt darin, dass sich das Lamellenpaket bei einer Teilabsenkung des Stores im Sichtbereich befindet und hier klobig und wenig ästhetisch wirkt.
The disadvantages of the previously described embodiments are numerous.
  • For example, with all-metal blinds pivoting of the slats is only possible if the predetermined distance of the slats has been set.
  • The foldable spacers, which keep the slats at a distance, are susceptible to interference.
  • A horizontal or oblique displacement of the slats is only possible to a limited extent.
  • A push-up protection of the slats results only in the case of a positive drive, or if an additional lock is installed.
  • Another major disadvantage of the drive devices of the prior art is that the disk set is at a partial lowering of the store in the field of view and here clunky and looks little aesthetic.

Eine gattungsgemässer Lamellenstore ist in FR-A-1475733 offenbart. Die Antriebsvorrichtung weist in einer seitlichen Führungsschiene zwei jeweils um eine obere Nabe und eine untere Nabe umlaufende Ketten auf, welche in einer Ebene nebeneinander und parallel zueinander verlaufend angeordnet sind. Auf beiden oberen Naben sitzt drehfest jeweils eine Mitnehmerscheibe, welche je eine halbkreisförmigen Ausnehmung aufweisen. Die Lamellen sind mit endseitig angeordneten Lamellenträgern versehen und werden in einem oberhalb der Ketten angeordneten Lamellenlager gelagert, bis sie von den sich gegenüberliegenden, halbkreisförmigen Ausnehmungen der zwei gegenläufig angetriebenen Mitnehmerscheiben einzeln am Lamellenträger erfasst und den Ketten übergeben werden. Zum Kämmen mit beiden Ketten sitzt drehfest auf jedem Lamellenträger ein Zahnritzel. Durch dieses Zahnritzel wird die Lamelle bei gegenläufigem Antrieb der Naben hochgehoben oder abgesenkt und bei gleichläufigem Antrieb der Naben wird sie verschwenkt, bzw. geneigt.A generic slat blind is in FR-A-1475733 disclosed. The drive device has in a lateral guide rail on each two an upper hub and a lower hub circulating chains, which are arranged in a plane next to each other and parallel to each other. On each of the upper hubs is rotatably mounted in each case a drive plate, which each have a semicircular recess. The lamellae are provided with lamella carriers arranged on the end side and are mounted in a lamella bearing arranged above the chains until they are individually grasped by the lamella carriers of the opposite, semicircular recesses of the two counter-driven drive plates and transferred to the chains. For combing with both chains, a pinion is rotatably mounted on each disk carrier. By this pinion, the blade is lifted or lowered in opposite drive of the hubs and at gleichläufigem drive the hubs it is pivoted or inclined.

EP-A-890703 offenbart eine Raffstore mit Lamellen, bei der ein stabförmiger Lamellenträger über einen ersten nutensteinartigen Schieber seitlich in einer Führungsschiene geführt ist. Die Lamellen hängen an Seilelementen am stabförmigen Lamellenträger. Der Lamellenträger ist seitlich über einen Hebelmechanismus mit einem zweiten nutensteinartigen Schieber verbunden, der in derselben oder einer weiteren, gegenüber der ersten Führungsschiene ortsfesten Führungsschiene geführt ist. Bedingt durch die Seilelemente hängt die Verschiebeposition und deren Schwenklage der Lamellen ausschliesslich von der Verschiebeposition und der Schwenklage des stabförmigen Lamellenträgers ab. Ein Verschwenken des stabförmigen Lamellenträgers um eine Schwenkachse erfolgt dadurch, dass der erste Schieber relativ gegenüber dem zweiten Schieber verschoben wird. EP-A-890 703 discloses a Venetian blind with fins, in which a rod-shaped plate carrier is guided over a first nut-like slide laterally in a guide rail. The slats hang on rope elements on the rod-shaped plate carrier. The disk carrier is laterally connected via a lever mechanism with a second nut-like slide, which is guided in the same or another, relative to the first guide rail stationary guide rail. Due to the rope elements, the displacement position and its pivotal position of the slats depends exclusively on the displacement position and the pivotal position of the rod-shaped plate carrier. A pivoting of the rod-shaped disk carrier about a pivot axis takes place in that the first slider is displaced relative to the second slider.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Lamellenstore zu schaffen, der die oben genannten Nachteile der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lamellenstoresbeseitigt.The object of the present invention is to provide a lamellar store which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages of the lamellar blinds known from the prior art.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass zum Schliessen des Stores die Lamellen mit Hilfe der Lamellenträger einzeln aus einem in einem oberen oder unteren Bereich angeordneten Lamellen-Stapel entnommen und nach unten oder oben geführt werden.The object is achieved according to the invention in that, for closing the store, the lamellae are removed individually with the aid of the lamella carriers from a lamella stack arranged in an upper or lower region and guided downwards or upwards.

Vorteile: stabile Führung der Lamellen - exakter Abstand der Lamellen zueinander - Dichtung der Führungsschienen mittels den Antriebsbändern - weniger Gelenke - alle Lamellen sind in jeder Position gesichert.Advantages: stable guiding of the slats - exact spacing of the slats relative to each other - sealing of the guide rails by means of the drive belts - fewer joints - all slats are secured in every position.

Der in den Figuren dargestellte Lamellenstore 1 weist einen aus einer Vielzahl von waagerechten Lamellen 2 gebildeten Lamellenstapel 7 auf. Jede Lamelle 2 ist endseits gemäss Fig. 3 an einem Lamellenträgern 3 in seitlichen Führungsschienen 8 geführt. Die Lamellenträger 3 weisen an ihren Enden jeweils einen Schwenkarm 19 auf, der mittels eines Zapfens 18 in einer vertikal verlaufenden Schiene 17 geführt ist.The slat blind 1 shown in the figures has a slat stack 7 formed from a plurality of horizontal slats 2. Each lamella 2 is according to the end Fig. 3 guided on a plate carriers 3 in lateral guide rails 8. The disk carrier 3 have at their ends in each case a pivot arm 19, which is guided by means of a pin 18 in a vertically extending rail 17.

Die gemäss Figur 3 im Querschnitt C-förmigen Führungsschienen 8 weisen jeweils auf der Innenseite mittig einen vertikal verlaufenden Schlitz 16 auf, der etwas breiter ist als der Durchmesser des zylindrischen Teils der Lamellenträger 3. Die Lamellenträger 3 greifen jeweils an Ihren Enden durch diese Schlitze 16 in den Innenraum 14 einer der beiden Führungsschienen 8. In diesem Innenraum 14 sind gemäss Fig. 3 jeweils hinter den Schlitzen 16 zwei vertikal verlaufenden Führungswänden 15 angeordnet, deren Abstand zueinander jeweils etwas grösser ist als die Breite der Schlitze 16.The according to FIG. 3 in cross-section C-shaped guide rails 8 each have on the inside a vertically extending slot 16 which is slightly wider than the diameter of the cylindrical part of the plate carrier 3. The plate carrier 3 engage at their ends through these slots 16 in the interior 14th one of the two guide rails 8. In this interior 14 are according to Fig. 3 behind the slots 16, two vertically extending guide walls 15 are arranged, whose distance from each other is slightly larger than the width of the slots sixteenth

Für den Transport der Lamellen 2 ist eine Transportvorrichtung 12 vorgesehen, die bei der Ausführung gemäss den Figuren 1 und 3 zwei endlose Antriepsorgane 4 und 4' aufweist. Diese Antriebsorgane sind jeweils an einem oberen und einem unteren Ende um eine Umlenkrolle 11 gelegt. Die Umlenkrolle 11' ist gemäss Figur 1 von einer endlosen Kette 6 oder einem anderen geeigneten Antriebsorgan angetrieben. Dieses Antriebsorgan 6 ist von einer Antriebswelle 20 angetrieben, die gemäss Figur 1 am oberen Ende der beiden Führungsschienen 8 gelagert ist. Diese Antriebswelle 20 kann von einem hier nicht gezeigten Motor oder auch von Hand angetrieben sein.For the transport of the slats 2, a transport device 12 is provided, which in the embodiment according to the FIGS. 1 and 3 two endless Antriepsorgane 4 and 4 'has. These drive members are each placed at an upper and a lower end about a guide roller 11. The guide roller 11 'is according to FIG. 1 driven by an endless chain 6 or other suitable drive member. This drive member 6 is driven by a drive shaft 20, according to FIG. 1 is mounted at the upper end of the two guide rails 8. This drive shaft 20 may be driven by a motor not shown here or by hand.

Die beiden Antriebsorgane 4 und 4' sind vorzugsweise als Transportriemen ausgebildet und weisen jeweils mehrere in gleichen Abständen zueinander angeordnete Ausnehmungen 5 auf, die nach aussen hin offen sind. Die beiden Organe 4 und 4' sind gemäss Figur 1 parallel zueinander so angeordnet, dass sich in einem mittleren Bereich 4a zwei Ausnehmungen 5 zu einer im wesentlichen kreiszylindrischen Ausnehmung 5a ergänzen. Diese Ausnehmungen 5a sind jeweils so dimensioniert, dass sie einen Lamellenträger 9 umfassen und greifen können.The two drive members 4 and 4 'are preferably designed as a transport belt and each have a plurality of mutually equally spaced recesses 5, which are open to the outside. The two organs 4 and 4 'are according to FIG. 1 arranged parallel to each other so that in a central region 4a two recesses 5 complement each other to form a substantially circular cylindrical recess 5a. These recesses 5a are each dimensioned so that they can surround and grip a plate carrier 9.

Das in Figur 1 gezeigte Antriebsorgan 4' ist wie oben erwähnt über die Umlenkrolle 11' angetrieben. Das rechts gezeigte Antriebsorgan 4 liegt im Bereich 4a am Antriebsorgan 4' an und wird form- und reibschlüssig durch dieses angetrieben. Alternativ können die Umlenkrollen 11' und 11 mit einem hier nicht gezeigten Getriebe versehen werden, wodurch ein synchroner Lauf der Antriebsorgane 4 und 4' gewährleistet ist. Wird das Antriebsorgan 4' im Uhrzeigersinn angetrieben, so wird entsprechend und mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit das Antriebsorgan 4 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn angetrieben. Die Ausnehmungen 5a bewegen sich somit im Bereich 4a von oben nach unten. Bei entgegengesetzter Antriebsrichtung bewegen sich entsprechend die Ausnehmung 5a und die in diesen gehaltenen Lamellenträger 3 nach oben.This in FIG. 1 shown drive member 4 'is as mentioned above via the guide roller 11' driven. The drive member 4 shown on the right is in the area 4a on the drive member 4 'and is positively and frictionally driven by this. Alternatively, the pulleys 11 'and 11 are provided with a gear, not shown here, whereby a synchronous running of the drive members 4 and 4' is guaranteed. If the drive member 4 'driven in a clockwise direction, the drive member 4 is driven in the counterclockwise direction and at the same speed accordingly. The recesses 5a thus move in the area 4a from top to bottom. When the drive direction is opposite, the recess 5a and the plate carrier 3 held in it move upwards accordingly.

Bei der Ausführung gemäss Figur 2 ist lediglich ein Antriebsorgan 4 vorgesehen. Dieses ist wie ersichtlich etwas breiter als diejenigen gemäss Figur 1 und 3, und die nach aussen offenen Ausnehmungen 5" sind etwas tiefer. Die Ausnehmungen 5'' sind so dimensioniert, dass sie gemäss Figur 2 jeweils einen Lamellenträger 3 an dessen zylindrischen Teil aufnehmen können.In the execution according to FIG. 2 only one drive member 4 is provided. This is as shown a bit wider than those according to FIG. 1 and 3 and the outwardly open recesses 5 "are somewhat deeper, and the recesses 5" are dimensioned so that they are in accordance with FIG FIG. 2 can each accommodate a plate carrier 3 on the cylindrical part.

Die Wirkungsweise des erfindungsgemässen Lamellenstore wird nachfolgend erläutert.The mode of action of the slat blind according to the invention will be explained below.

Bei vollständig offener Store 1 befinden sich gemäss Figur 4a sämtliche Lamellen 2 zu einem Stapel 7 geformt am oberen Ende einer Öffnung 21, die beispielsweise ein Fenster sein kann. Um die Store 1 zu schliessen, wird bei der Ausführung gemäss den Figuren 1 und 3 die Antriebswelle 20 im Uhrzeigersinn angetrieben. Entsprechend bewegt sich das Antriebsorgan 4' im Uhrzeigersinn und das gegenüberliegende mitangetriebene Antriebsorgan 4 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn. Von einem über den Antriebsorganen 4 und 4' angeordneten Stapel 7 wird nun jeweils die unterste Lamelle 2' von den beiden Antriebsorganen 4 und 4' am zylindrischen Teil des Lamellenträgers 3 gefasst und nach unten geführt. Wie Figur 1 deutlich zeigt, werden hierbei die Lamellenträger 3 von zwei gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 5 und 5' im Bereich der Umlenkrolle 11' zangenartig gefasst und im Schlitz 16 nach unten geführt. Auf diese Weise wird eine Lamelle 2 nach der anderen gefasst und nach unten bewegt. Die Abstände der aufeinanderfolgenden Lamellen 2 ist durch die Abstände der Ausnehmung 5 bzw. 5' zueinander bestimmt. Die Figur 4b zeigt den Zustand in dem lediglich eine Lamelle 2' vom Lamellenpaket 7' nach unten transportiert wurde. Bei der Ausführung nach Figur 4c sind bereits drei Lamellen 2'' vom Lamellenpaket 7" abgehoben. Der Vorgang kann weitergeführt werden, bis sämtliche Lamellen des Lamellenpaketes 7 im Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind.When Store 1 is fully open, it is in accordance with FIG. 4a all the slats 2 to a stack 7 formed at the upper end of an opening 21, which may be a window, for example. In order to close the store 1, in the execution according to the FIGS. 1 and 3 the drive shaft 20 driven in a clockwise direction. Accordingly, the drive member 4 'moves in a clockwise direction and the opposite co-driven drive member 4 in the counterclockwise direction. From a via the drive members 4 and 4 'arranged stack 7 is now the lowest slat 2' taken by the two drive members 4 and 4 'on the cylindrical part of the disk carrier 3 and guided down. As FIG. 1 clearly shows, in this case the plate carrier 3 of two opposite recesses 5 and 5 'in the region of the guide roller 11' pliers-like taken and guided in the slot 16 down. In this way, a blade 2 is taken after the other and moved down. The distances of the successive lamellae 2 is determined by the distances of the recess 5 and 5 'to each other. The FIG. 4b shows the state in which only a blade 2 'was transported by the disk pack 7' down. In the execution after Figure 4c For example, three slats 2 "are already lifted off the disk pack 7" .The process can be continued until all slats of the disk pack 7 are arranged at a distance from one another.

Wie die Figuren 4a - 4c deutlich zeigen, ist das Lamellenpaket 7 bzw. 7' bzw. 7" immer am oberen Ende der Öffnung 21 angeordnet. Durch das Lamellenpaket wird somit die Sicht nie eingeschränkt. Wesentlich ist auch, dass die vom Stapel abgehobenen Lamellen durch die beiden Antriebsorgane 4 und 4' festgehalten werden. Bei teilweise oder vollständig geschlossener Store 1 sind die nach unten bewegten Lamellen somit festgehalten und können nicht verschoben werden. Dadurch ist es ohne Zerstörung nicht möglich, die Store 1 gewaltsam zu öffnen. Die Transportvorrichtung 12 ist somit einbruchhemmend.As the FIGS. 4a-4c clearly show that the disk set 7 or 7 'or 7 "is always arranged at the upper end of the opening 21. The view through the disk set is thus never limited View also essential that the lamellae lifted from the stack by the two drive elements 4 and With partially or completely closed Store 1, the moving lamellae are thus held fast and can not be displaced, so that it is not possible, without destroying, to forcibly open Store 1. The transport device 12 is thus burglar resistant.

Bei der Ausführung gemäss Figur 2 werden die Lamellen 2 ebenfalls vom Antriebsorgan 4 gefasst und nach unten bewegt. Auch hier wird somit ein oben angeordneter Stapel 7 am unteren Ende abgetragen. Die Lamellen 2 werden jeweils in einer Ausnehmung 5'' gefasst.In the execution according to FIG. 2 the slats 2 are also taken by the drive member 4 and moved down. Again, thus a stacked top 7 is removed at the bottom. The slats 2 are each taken in a recess 5 ''.

Wie die Figur 3 zeigt, werden die Schlitze 16 der beiden Führungsschienen 8 durch die Antriebsorgane 4, 4' abgedeckt. Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass die Schlitze 16 zum Innenraum 14 hin weitgehend abgedichtet sind. Schmutz, Wasser oder Schnee kann somit nicht von aussen in die Innenräume 14 eindringen. Damit können Störungen vermindert und die Langlebigkeit der Store 1 wesentlich erhöht werden. Die erfindungsgemässe Store 1 ist deshalb im wesentlichen wartungsfrei.As the FIG. 3 shows, the slots 16 of the two guide rails 8 are covered by the drive members 4, 4 '. This has the significant advantage that the slots 16 are largely sealed to the interior 14 towards. Dirt, water or snow can thus not penetrate from the outside into the interior spaces 14. This can reduce interference and longevity of Store 1 can be significantly increased. The inventive Store 1 is therefore essentially maintenance-free.

Die Lamellen 2 können durch seitliches Verschieben der Schienen 17 in an sich bekannter Weise verschwenkt werden. Dieses Verschwenken ist in jeder Höhenposition der Lamellen möglich. Denkbar ist aber auch eine Ausführung, ohne Schienen 17, so dass die Lamellen 2 nicht verschwenkbar sind. Der Schwenkmechanismus kann sich in diesem Fall in einem hier nicht gezeigten Antriebsrahmen befinden.The slats 2 can be pivoted by lateral displacement of the rails 17 in a conventional manner. This pivoting is possible in any height position of the slats. It is also conceivable, however, a design without rails 17, so that the slats 2 are not pivotable. The pivot mechanism may be in this case in a drive frame, not shown here.

Bei den oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen ist das Lamellenpaket oben angeordnet und die Lamellen werden nach unten transportiert. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung, bei welcher das Lamellenpaket in einem unteren Bereich angeordnet ist und zum Schliessen der Store die Lamellen nach oben transportiert werden. Die Förderorgane werden in diesem Fall in umgekehrter Richtung angetrieben.In the embodiments described above, the disk pack is arranged at the top and the slats are transported down. Also conceivable is an embodiment in which the disk set is arranged in a lower region and the slats are transported upwards to close the store. The conveying elements are driven in this case in the opposite direction.

Der in den Figuren 5 bis 7 gezeigte Lamellenstore weist eine Antriebsvorrichtung 31 auf, die als Förderorgan zwei Räder 22 besitzt, die jeweils in einer Schiene 8 angeordnet und um eine horizontale Achse A drehbar gelagert sind. Die Räder 22 sind von einer Antriebsritzel 28 über jeweils ein endloses Antriebsorgan 27, beispielsweise einer Gliederkette, in den Richtungen des Doppelpfeils 33 angetrieben.The in the FIGS. 5 to 7 Slat blind shown has a drive device 31, which has two wheels 22 as conveying member, which are each arranged in a rail 8 and rotatably supported about a horizontal axis A. The wheels 22 are driven by a drive pinion 28 via an endless drive member 27, for example, a link chain in the directions of the double arrow 33.

Die Lamellen 2 sind an den Enden der Lamellenträger 3 über eine Faltkette 23 miteinander verbunden. Diese Faltkette 23 besteht aus mehreren Gliedern 24, die an Gelenken 25 und 26 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Gelenke 26 sind frei und die Gelenke 25 sitzen jeweils auf einem Lamellenträger 3.The slats 2 are connected to one another at the ends of the plate carrier 3 via a folding chain 23. This folding chain 23 consists of several members 24 which are connected to each other at joints 25 and 26. The joints 26 are free and the joints 25 each sit on a plate carrier third

Die Lamellenträger 3 sind wie oben erwähnt jeweils an ihren Enden in einem vertikalen Schlitz 16 verschiebbar geführt. Die Räder 22 weisen jeweils an ihrem Umfang mehrere Zähne 32 auf, die gemäss Figur 5 in den Bereich eines Schlitzes 16 derart eingreifen, dass jeweils zwischen zwei Zähnen 32 ein Lamellenträger 3 und/oder mittlere oder seitliche Rollen oder Nocken 30 der Kettenglieder 24 gefasst wird bzw. werden. Drehen die Räder 22 in Figur 5 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn, so werden die Lamellen 2 nach oben transportiert. Hierbei werden die über den Rädern 22 angeordneten Glieder 24 zu einem Paket P gefaltet, das vollständig ist, sobald alle Lamellen 2 zu dem in Figur 4a gezeigten Lamellenpaket nach oben gefördert sind. Werden anschliessend die Räder 22 in Figur 5 im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, so werden die Lamellenträger 3 mit den Lamellen 2 einzeln gefasst und nach unten transportiert. Das Paket P wird hierbei abgetragen und die Glieder 24 werden gestreckt.The disk carrier 3 are, as mentioned above, each guided displaceably at their ends in a vertical slot 16. The wheels 22 each have at their periphery a plurality of teeth 32, according to FIG. 5 engage in the region of a slot 16 such that in each case between two teeth 32 a plate carrier 3 and / or middle or side rollers or cams 30 of the chain links 24 is taken or become. Turn the wheels 22 in FIG. 5 in the counterclockwise direction, the slats 2 are transported upwards. Here, the arranged over the wheels 22 members 24 are folded into a package P, the complete is as soon as all slats 2 to the in FIG. 4a shown disk pack are conveyed upwards. Are then the wheels 22 in FIG. 5 Turned clockwise, the plate carrier 3 are individually taken with the slats 2 and transported down. The package P is hereby removed and the links 24 are stretched.

Die Lamellen 2 können in jeder Höhenposition mittels Schienen 17 verschwenkt werden. Die Schienen 17 werden hierzu gemäss Figur 7 in den Richtungen des Doppelpfeils 29 horizontal verschoben. Die Lamellenträger 3 werden hierbei gemeinsam jeweils mit dem Hebel 19 um ihre Längsachse gedreht. Eine solche Verschwenkmöglichkeit ist aber nicht zwingend.The slats 2 can be pivoted in any height position by means of rails 17. The rails 17 are for this purpose according FIG. 7 horizontally displaced in the directions of the double arrow 29. The plate carrier 3 are in this case jointly rotated in each case with the lever 19 about its longitudinal axis. Such pivoting is not mandatory.
