Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vitragenstange mit zwei am Fenster oder Fensterrahmen befestigbaren Befestigungselementen, die zwischen sich eine längenverstellbare Stange aufnehmen, an der eine Gardine oder dergleichen befestigbar ist wobei zwischen den Befestigungselementen ein diese zusammenziehendes Zugmittel angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a Vitragenstange with two attachable to the window or window frame fasteners, which accommodate a length-adjustable rod between them, to which a curtain or the like can be fastened, wherein between the fastening elements this pulling-pulling means is arranged.

Vitragenstangen - häufig auch einfach als Scheiben-Gardinenstangen bezeichnet - werden üblicherweise am Fensterrahmen montiert. Für die Befestigung gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten: Eine erste Alternative besteht darin, die Befestigungselemente als im wesentlichen rechtwinklige Winkelprofile auszubilden, deren erste Schenkel zwischen den Fensterrahmen einspannbar sind und deren zweite Schenkel die Stange zwischen sich aufnehmen. Diese Vorrichtung ist allerdings bei schräg verlaufenden Rahmen, insbesondere Holzrahmen, nicht verwendbar, da die Schenkel an den Schrägen abrutschen.Vitragen rods - often simply referred to as window screens - are usually mounted on the window frame. There are various possibilities for the attachment: A first alternative is to design the fastening elements as substantially rectangular angle sections, whose first legs are clamped between the window frames and whose second legs receive the rod between them. However, this device is not suitable for sloping frame, in particular wooden frame, since the legs slip off the bevels.

Die US 1,500,049 offenbart eine Vitragenstange mit zwei Befestigungselementen, die jeweils von außen mit einem Gummiklotz am Fensterrahmen anliegen und durch ein Zugmittel gegen diesen Gedrückt werden.The US 1,500,049 discloses a Vitragenstange with two fasteners, each of which abut from the outside with a rubber block on the window frame and are pressed by a pulling means against this.

Eine weitere Befestigungsart umfasst auf den Rahmeninnenseiten aufklebbare Fixierungsplatten, auf welche die spitz zulaufenden Enden der Stange aufsetzbar sind. Die Stange ist bei dieser Variante üblicherweise längenverstellbar und in der Länge arretierbar ausgebildet, vorzugsweise erfolgt dieses durch eine zweiteilige Ausbildung der Stange, wobei die Stangenelemente über ein Gewinde miteinander verbunden sind. Die Stange kann so zwischen den Fixierungsplatten durch Verdrehen der Stange eingespannt werden. Diese Befestigungsform ist mit dem Nachteil verbunden, dass keine größeren Lasten an die Stange gehängt werden können und unter Umständen, wenn die Fixierungsplatten von den Spitzen durchdrungen werden, Beschädigungen des Fensterrahmens auftreten.Another type of fastening comprises on the frame inner sides adhesive fixing plates on which the tapered ends of the rod can be placed. The rod is usually adjustable in length and designed to be lockable in length in this variant, preferably this is done by a two-part design of the rod, wherein the rod elements are connected to one another via a thread. The rod can be clamped between the fixing plates by twisting the rod. These Attachment form is associated with the disadvantage that no major loads can be hung on the pole and may occur when the fixation plates are penetrated by the tips, damage the window frame.

Schließlich können selbstklebende Haken an den Fensterrahmen befestigt werden. Aufgrund des Austrocknens des Klebers fallen diese nach einer Zeit ab und müssen neu befestigt werden. Im übrigen sind diese Haken nur gering belastbar.Finally, self-adhesive hooks can be attached to the window frame. Due to the drying out of the adhesive, they will fall off after a while and have to be re-attached. Moreover, these hooks are only slightly resilient.

Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Vitragenstange derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass diese einfach und dauerhaft befestigbar ist.The invention is based on the technical problem of developing a generic Vitragenstange such that it is easy and durable fastened.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass jedes Befestigungselement als Befestigungsschelle ausgebildet ist, die einen im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Anlagebereich mit einer Öffnung zum klammerartigen Umgreifen des Fensterrahmens aufweist, wobei die Öffnungen der Anlagebereiche einander zugewandt sind. Das Zugmittel spannt die Befestigungsschellen permanent gegeneinander vor, so dass die die Fensterrahmen klammerartig umgreifenden Befestigungsschellen zu jeder Zeit mit dem notwendigen Anpressdruck gegen den Fensterrahmen anliegen, um den notwendigen Kraftschluss zwischen den Befestigungsschellen und dem Fensterrahmen zu realisieren. Die erfindungsgemäße Vitragenstange kann mit den herkömmlichen Lasten, also insbesondere Gardinen und dergleichen, belastet werden und ist einfach umsetzbar. Zum Umsetzen muss lediglich der Vorwiderstand des Zugmittels durch einen Benutzer durch Auseinanderziehen der Befestigungsschellen überwunden werden. Nach Aufsetzen auf die neue Stelle oder den neuen Fensterrahmen und Loslassen der Befestigungsschellen umgreifen diese wieder kraftschlüssig den Fensterrahmen. Die erfindungsgemäße Vitragenstange bietet damit den besonderen Vorteil, dass Beschädigungen des Fensterrahmens, egal aus welchem Material dieser gefertigt ist, sei es Kunststoff, Holz oder Metall, zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that each fastening element is designed as a fastening clamp, which has a substantially U-shaped contact area with an opening for clamping the window frame around the clamp, wherein the openings of the contact areas face each other. The traction means biases the mounting clamps permanently against each other, so that the window frame clamp-like encompassing mounting clamps at any time with the necessary contact pressure against the window frame to realize the necessary adhesion between the mounting clamps and the window frame. The Vitragenstange invention can be charged with the conventional loads, ie in particular curtains and the like, and is easily implemented. To implement only the series resistor of the traction device must be overcome by a user by pulling the clamps. After placing on the new location or the new window frame and releasing the clamps these grip again frictionally the window frame. The Vitragenstange invention thus offers the particular advantage that damage to the window frame, no matter what material is made of it, be it plastic, wood or metal, reliably excluded.

In Abhängigkeit des Stoffes der Fensterrahmen können die in Einbaulage zum Fensterrahmen gerichteten Schenkel der Befestigungsschellen zusätzlich mit einem einen hohen Reibungskoeffizienten aufweisenden Stoff, wie z.B. Gummi, versehen sein. In der einfachsten Variante können beispielsweise selbstklebende Gummidichtprofile für Fenster an den Befestigungsschellen aufgeklebt sein.Depending on the fabric of the window frames, the legs of the fixing clamps directed in the installation position relative to the window frame may additionally be provided with a substance having a high coefficient of friction, such as e.g. Rubber, be provided. In the simplest variant, for example, self-adhesive rubber seal profiles for windows can be glued to the mounting clamps.

Das Zugmittel ist vorzugsweise als Spiralfeder oder als Gummiband ausgebildet.The traction means is preferably designed as a spiral spring or as a rubber band.

Um einen besonders harmonischen ästhetischen Eindruck zu erhalten und das Zugmittel zu kaschieren, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Stange als Hohlrohr ausgebildet und das Zugmittel innerhalb der Stange angeordnet ist. Die Stange weist dabei vorzugsweise zwei ineinandergeführte, teleskopierbare Hohlrohre auf. Das Zugmittel ist jeweils an den Enden der Rohre innerhalb des Rohrs fest verankert, so dass sich das Rohr im unbelasteten Zustand selbst zusammenzieht.In order to obtain a particularly harmonious aesthetic impression and to hide the traction means, it is advantageous if the rod is formed as a hollow tube and the traction means is disposed within the rod. The rod in this case preferably has two telescoped hollow tubes which are guided one inside the other. The traction means is firmly anchored at the ends of the tubes within the tube, so that the tube contracts itself in the unloaded state.

Die Befestigungsschellen sind vorzugsweise als - in der Seitenansicht - im wesentlichen S-förmige Metallbleche ausgebildet.The mounting clamps are preferably designed as - in the side view - substantially S-shaped metal sheets.

Zur Befestigung der Stange bzw. des Rohrs an den Befestigungsschellen hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, an den stirnseitigen Enden der Stange Adapter vorzusehen, die zum einen auf das stirnseitige Ende der Rohre aufgeschraubt sind und zum anderen mit in die entgegengesetzte Richtung ragenden Gewindestiften versehen sind, an welchen die Befestigungsschellen befestigbar sind.To attach the rod or tube to the mounting clamps, it has proven to be particularly advantageous to provide at the front ends of the rod adapter, which are screwed onto the front end of the tubes and provided on the other with projecting in the opposite direction threaded pins are, to which the mounting clamps are fastened.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterentwicklung sind zumindest die nach vorne sichtbaren Bereiche der Befestigungsschellen durch Blenden kaschierbar. Die Befestigungsschellen können so durch verschiedenartig ausgebildete Blenden variabel an die jeweilige Einbausituation angepaßt werden. So können z. B. bei einem Fensterrahmen aus Holz angepaßte Holzblenden auf den Befestigungsschellen aufgesetzt werden.In a particularly advantageous further development, at least the regions of the fastening clamps which are visible in the front can be laminated by diaphragms. The mounting clamps can be variably adapted to the respective installation situation by differently shaped diaphragms. So z. B. on a window frame made of wood matched wooden panels the fixing clamps are placed.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Blenden lösbar an den Befestigungsschellen befestigbar sind, so dass diese kundenspezifisch einfach von den Benutzern an verschiedene Einbausituationen anpaßbar sind durch Austausch der Blenden. In der einfachsten Variante sind die Blenden auf die Befestigungsschellen aufklipsbar.It is particularly advantageous if the panels are releasably attachable to the mounting clamps, so that they are customizable easily by the user to different installation situations by replacing the panels. In the simplest variant, the panels can be clipped onto the fastening clips.

Die Vitragenstange besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei Befestigungsschellen 1 und 2, zwischen denen eine teleskopierbare Stange 3 angeordnet ist.The Vitragenstange consists essentially of two mounting clamps 1 and 2, between which a telescoping rod 3 is arranged.

Die Befestigungsschellen 1, 2 bestehen aus - in der Seitenansicht - im wesentlichen Z-förmigen Winkelprofilen mit jeweils einem Längsschenkel 11, an dessen einem Ende ein erster Querschenkel 12 rechtwinklig verlaufend angeordnet ist und an dessen gegenübergelegenem Ende - entgegengesetzt verlaufend zum ersten Querschenkel 12 - ein zweiter Querschenkel 13 angeordnet ist, der ebenfalls rechtwinklig zu dem Längsschenkel 11 verläuft. Der zweite Querschenkel 13 hat etwa die Länge der Tiefe eines Fensterrahmens. An den Querschenkel 13 schließt sich ein parallel zu dem Längsschenkel 11 verlaufender Hakenschenkel an, der in Richtung des ersten Querschenkels 12 ausgerichtet ist. Die Befestigungsschelle 1 umgreift in Einbaulage hakenförmig einen nicht dargestellten Fensterrahmen, wobei der Längsschenkel 11 gegen die Vorderseite des Fensterrahmens anliegt und der Hakenschenkel 14 die Hinterseite des Fensterrahmens mit einer eventuell daran vorgesehenen Dichtung umgreift.The mounting clamps 1, 2 consist of - in the side view - substantially Z-shaped angle sections, each having a longitudinal leg 11, at one end a first transverse leg 12 is arranged to extend at right angles and at its opposite end - opposite to the first transverse leg 12 - a second transverse leg 13 is arranged, which also extends at right angles to the longitudinal leg 11. The second transverse leg 13 has approximately the length of the depth of a window frame. At the transverse leg 13, a parallel to the longitudinal leg 11 extending hook leg connects, which is aligned in the direction of the first transverse leg 12. The mounting clamp 1 surrounds in the installed position hook-shaped a window frame, not shown, wherein the longitudinal leg 11 rests against the front of the window frame and the hook leg 14 engages around the rear side of the window frame with a possibly provided thereon seal.

In Abhängigkeit von dem jeweiligen Fenster kann die Befestigungsschelle 1 unterschiedliche Größen aufweisen. Die zweite Befestigungsschelle 2 ist spiegelbildlich identisch zu der ersten Befestigungsschelle 1 aufgebaut.Depending on the respective window, the mounting clamp 1 may have different sizes. The second mounting clamp 2 is constructed in mirror image identical to the first mounting clamp 1.

Zwischen den Befestigungsschellen 1 und 2 ist die Verbindungsstange 3 angeordnet, an der beispielsweise die Gardinen aufgehängt werden können. Die Befestigungsstange 3 besteht aus einem ersten Hohlrohr 31, in dem ein zweites Hohlrohr 32 längsverschieblich geführt ist; demnach ist der Innendurchmesser des äußeren Hohlrohres 31 geringfügig größer als der Außendurchmesser des zweiten Hohlrohrs 32.Between the mounting clamps 1 and 2, the connecting rod 3 is arranged on the example, the curtains can be hung. The mounting rod 3 consists of a first hollow tube 31, in which a second hollow tube 32 is guided longitudinally displaceable; Accordingly, the inner diameter of the outer hollow tube 31 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second hollow tube 32nd

Innerhalb der Stange 3 ist eine Spiralfeder 33 aufgenommen, die an den stirnseitigen Enden des ersten Hohlrohrs 31 und des zweiten Hohlrohrs 32 befestigt ist. Die Federrate der Spiralfeder 33 ist so ausgebildet, daß sie die Stange 3 permanent zusammenzieht.Within the rod 3, a coil spring 33 is received, which is attached to the front ends of the first hollow tube 31 and the second hollow tube 32. The spring rate of the coil spring 33 is formed so that it permanently contracts the rod 3.

An den stirnseitigen Enden der Stange 3 sind Adapter 34 und 35 befestigt. An ihrer ersten Seite sind die Adapter 34 und 35 mit Muffen versehen, mittels derer sie auf die stirnseitigen Enden der Hohlrohre 32 und 33 aufsetzbar sind; die Muffen können innenseitig zudem mit Gewinden versehen sein. Auf der entgegengerichteten Seite sind die Adapter 34 und 35 mit Gewindestiften 36 versehen, die durch entsprechend in dem ersten Querschenkel 12 vorgesehene Löcher steckbar und mit einer Mutter oder dergleichen an den Befestigungsschellen 1 und 2 befestigbar sind.At the front ends of the rod 3 adapters 34 and 35 are attached. On their first side, the adapters 34 and 35 are provided with sleeves, by means of which they are placed on the front ends of the hollow tubes 32 and 33; The sleeves can also be provided on the inside with threads. On the opposite side, the adapters 34 and 35 are provided with grub screws 36 which can be plugged by holes provided correspondingly in the first transverse leg 12 and can be fastened to the mounting clips 1 and 2 with a nut or the like.

Auf die Befestigungsschellen 1 und 2 sind Blenden 4 und 5 aufsetzbar, mit welchen die Befestigungsschellen 1 und 2 vollständig kaschierbar sind. Die Blenden 4 und 5 sind auf die Längsschenkel 11 der Befestigungsschellen 1 und 2 aufklipsbar.On the mounting clamps 1 and 2 panels 4 and 5 are placed, with which the clamps 1 and 2 are completely concealed. The panels 4 and 5 are on the Long legs 11 of the mounting clamps 1 and 2 clipped.

Der Aufbau der in der Figur 2 dargestellten Vitragenstange ist mit der in der Figur 1 dargestellten identisch bis auf die Tatsache, dass als Zugmittel anstatt der Spiralfeder 33 ein Gummiband 37 verwendet wird.The structure of the Vitragenstange shown in Figure 2 is identical to that shown in Figure 1 except for the fact that a rubber band 37 is used as a traction device instead of the coil spring 33.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vitragenstange ist damit einfach und werkzeuglos an beliebigen Fensterrahmen befestigbar. Eine Beschädigung des Fensterrahmens erfolgt nicht.The Vitragenstange invention is thus easy and without tools attached to any window frame. Damage to the window frame does not occur.

Sofern höhere Lasten an die Vitragenstange gehängt werden sollen, können die Befestigungsschellen zudem mit einem die Oberseite des Fensterrahmens umgreifenden Steg versehen sein, der größere Lasten abfängt.If higher loads are to be hung on the Vitragenstange, the mounting clamps can also be provided with a the top of the window frame encompassing web, which intercepts larger loads.
