  • the second movable rail 4 is by continuous pull on the second actuating cords 9, 9a to their shown in Fig. 1 Move to the upper end position in which the curtain is completely closed.
  • Fig. 2 shows a curtain system according to the invention in trapezoidal shape, with one next to the lower stationary rail 2 parallel upper stationary rail 1 yet another, obliquely for this purpose arranged upper stationary rail 1a is provided. Between the fixed rails 1, 1a and 2, two movable rails 3 and 4 'are arranged, the upper rail 4 'is correspondingly shorter than the lower or first movable rail 3.

After two The third actuating cord 20 runs back at deflection points 23, 24 to the actuator.
  • the deflections 21, 22 in the area of the first movable Rail 3 correspond to the deflections 11, 12, 11a, 12a of the first and second actuating cords and increase the friction of the actuating cord guided by the rail 3, while the upper deflection points 23, 24 are formed by low-friction deflection rollers are.
  • the function of the third actuating cord 20 is to stabilize the actuating cords 8, 8a or 9, 9a during the parallel movement of the first movable rail 3 in their opening (arrow 18) or closing position (opposite arrow 18).
  • Fig. 3 shows a similar embodiment as Fig. 2, wherein the course of the second operating cords 9, 9a has been slightly modified insofar as that perpendicular to the rails extending sections immediately adjacent to the corresponding sections of the first Actuating cords 8, 8a are shifted.
  • a lateral deflection point 26 is arranged, for example a low-friction Deflection roller on which the actuating cords are turned by 90 °, for example downwards, are redirected.

  • the third actuating cord 20 is on their end portions with an end portion of the first operating cord 8a and an end portion the second operating cord 9 connected so that there is a separate tensioning process for the third operating cord during assembly or maintenance of the system, while the remaining end portions of the operating cords 9a and 8 also together are connected.
  • Such a connection of the actuating cords to one another is therefore possible and useful because the actuation paths due to the parallel movement of the rails are the same size for all operating cords.
  • the operation of the curtain system shown in Fig. 3 can be done manually or by a Area of the lower deflection point 27 arranged drive motor by the between the lateral deflection point 26 and the lower deflection point 27 extending cord strands (as a whole) to be moved.

  • the second actuating cord 9a initially extends into the oblique fixed rail 1a, thence into the just stationary rail 1 and then runs into the second movable rail 4 ', while the second actuating cord 9 is approximately in the middle between the two first actuating cords 8, 8a is arranged.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the curtain material is better supported against sagging and in any other way, since the maximum distance between adjacent cords is less than in the arrangements according to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • This arrangement also shows that the operating cords arranged according to the invention Take over the role of guide or tensioning cables and replace them partially or completely can.
  • Fig. 4 also shows a common actuator for all pull cords that in the lower stationary rail 2 is housed.
  • a drive motor 30 drives one in drive shaft 31 extending essentially over the entire length of lower rail 2, which is mounted by means of a thread so that it turns axially with one complete revolution Direction shifted about a diameter of the actuating cords used. Thereby it is ensured that the individual operating cords to be wound on the drive shaft 31 place close to each other on the shaft.
  • Fig. 5 shows a winding unit 33 of the drive shaft 31, with the two operating cords are wound up and down simultaneously, for example the two end sections of the third Actuating cord 20, the actuating cords 8 and 9a and the actuating cords 9 and 8a (Fig. 4).
  • the first pull cord is an example on the left side of the operating unit 8a, while on the right side the second actuating cord 9 is indicated is.
  • these operating cords are to be moved so that one wound or unwound and the other unwound or wound at the same speed becomes.
  • FIG. 5 shows one of the operating cords to be moved in an operating unit, in the present example, the first actuating cord 8a, by means of one on the drive shaft 31 fixable fastening ring 35 firmly connected to the shaft during the End portion of the second operating cord 9 after a number of wraps, the entire cord length corresponds to the entire winding path, due to a fixed position on the drive shaft 31 fixed deflection ring 36 and by means of a longitudinally displaceable on the Drive shaft 31 held slide 35 a is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 31.
  • a Coil spring 37 is supported with an end section against the deflection ring 35a and presses with its other end portion in the direction of arrow 38 against the slide 35a, so that there is an automatic re-tensioning of the second actuating cord 9 as soon as this is completely unwound from the drive shaft 31 and the drive shaft 31 so far has moved to the left that the deflection ring 36 is located in the region of the deflection eyelet 39.
