Description

The boxes for holding pull-up sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout devices, such as roller shutters, Train blinds or roller blinds can be on the inside or outside wall to be fastened over the window or door. A relevant box shows EP-A-0 843 067. Since the of boxes protruding from the wall the appearance and the Function of the window or the door will be impaired they often fall into the reveal in the lintel area built-in. The builder must therefore already make a choice during construction meet whether and which sun protection or blackout devices he wants to install. A subsequent change the choice made is associated with complex conversion measures, if the receiving box in the lintel area into the reveal or wall of the existing building should.

It is therefore the object of the invention to take precautionary measures when building a new building to bear that later there is the possibility with one existing buildings the desired sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device also retrospectively to be able to choose.

This is according to the invention with that specified in claim 1 Storage box for sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout devices reached. In the subclaims are advantageous embodiments of the receiving box according to the invention specified.

According to the invention, the lintel area of the window or the Door arranged a box that is so wide that its Long side walls at such a distance from the window or Door frames that run a space both on the outside like is available on the inside in the box, in which a sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device can be installed.

The box can be used on the outside as well as on the inside the window or the door any sun protection, Weather protection and / or blackout device installed become. In particular, the sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device through a train blind be formed, the lamellae on cords, belts and the like are attached and a pulling device for Wind up and down and a second one to adjust the slats in an inclined, the desired brightness Location. Likewise, the sun protection, Weather protection and / or blackout device by one Shutters are formed, the slats with or without space attached to each other by straps or by hooks are hung together and also with pulling devices be operated. In addition, the sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device by means of a blind, So a curtain that can be rolled up, for example made of textile Material be formed. The winding shaft of the roller shutter or the roller blind is stored in the receiving box.

The sun protection, weather protection and / or Blackout devices can turn again be designed in very different ways. For example the roller blind can form a slide or film screen, so white or light on the inside and e.g. on the outside be black or dark.

The receiving box can in turn in different ways be trained and made of different materials consist. For example, it can be made of plates Plastic, metal, wooden materials or made from boards be or by extrusion, deep drawing or another Deformation process e.g. made of plastic or plastic Wood materials.

When building the building, the empty box can be in the lintel area of the window or door. The installation of the Sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device can then be postponed to a later date.

So that the lower opening of the empty box in the reveal on Fall is not visible, it is caused by a Fitting closed.

If only on the inside or only on the outside of the Window or the door a sun protection, weather protection and / or Blackout device is to be attached, is just the bottom opening of the box at the other, so the outside or inside of the window or door with a Fitting closed.

The fitting not only turns the box on its underside blinded, rather it also provides a warmth and Sound insulation between the inside and the outside of the window or door. To isolate the the molded part can also improve the subspace of the box on the inside of the window or door from the part of the Separate the box on the outside of the window or door.

The fittings can be made of plastic, foam, for example or made of wood or a plastic wood-based material, such as Presswood exist.

The fitting must be easily removable, so that in the Bottom of the lintel built-in box later optional a sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device on the inside and / or outside of the window of the Door mounted or an already installed sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device against another can be exchanged. So that the fittings can be easily removed they can be clipped into the box, for example be trained. However, it is also possible to put them in to fix in another way, for example by gluing, Screw on or the like.

To the desired sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device in the integrated in the lintel area The two end walls can be used to mount the receiving box of the box on the inside with mounting fixtures for the sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout device be provided.

The mounting receptacles can be holes, for example the screws are screwed in with which e.g. the parts for storing the shaft of the roller blind, the roller shutter or one other roll-up sun protection, weather protection and / or Blackout device can be attached. there can have a grid of such holes in one or both End walls can be provided to different sizes Fasteners to match.

The mounting shots for sun protection, weather protection and / or Blackout devices on the front walls of the Boxes can, for example, also be protrusions, e.g. Pin on which the take-up shaft is put. Can too e.g. a grid of openings on the inside of one end wall for screws and on the other inside of the front wall Pin for mounting a winding shaft for a roller shutter and / or roller blind can be provided. The same can be said of both Openings for screws and protrusions on the inside of the end wall be provided. Of course, the openings, holes, projections, Pins and the like mounting receptacles in their dimensions for sun protection, weather protection and / or blackout devices applicable standards or the like customized.

The box can be part of the lintel when building in the lintel area be placed over the window or door opening. However, he can also be attached to the window or door frame, so can be installed as a unit with the window or door frame.

For attachment to the window or door frame, the End walls of the box, for example with tabs, metal bands or the like fasteners e.g. on the outside on the vertical frame part of the window or door frame be attached. Instead of such tabs, the end walls also downward projections for frame attachment exhibit.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous if itself from the front walls of the box along the reveal the vertical window and door frame parts board-shaped Extend the panels to the bottom of the window or door opening, the one with the box and the window or door frame Form a kind of widening. However, the plates can also installed separately as a kind of blind stick.

The panels can be narrower than the wall width, however also the same width or wider, e.g. for connecting paneling or ties.

The window or door frame is usually used during assembly isolated, especially foamed. The longitudinal extension the insulating layer from the inside out becomes essentially on the thickness (or depth) of the window or door frame certainly. Because in particular the thickness of the window frame is usually much less than the wall thickness, is the The insulating effect of the insulating layer is limited accordingly.

In contrast, the above-mentioned board-shaped, have from the box downward extending panels an essential greater width than the window or door frame thickness. So is the width of the box and thus the down extending plates preferably at least half of the Wall thickness. The insulation layer after moving the box and the downward slabs in the reveal thus have a longitudinal extension from the inside to the outside, which almost corresponds to the width of the wall. With that the Insulation of the window or door frame from the inside to the outside significantly improved in the sound and heat range.

The plates can also consist of several, e.g. two side by side arranged longitudinal segments, ie an inner and an outer segment exist that are thermally separated.

At the same time, the window or door opening facing Side of the downward extending board-shaped Plates one or more longitudinal grooves can be provided in the For example, roller shutter guide rails used or in the cords, straps or similar pulling means of the blind or with a motor drive, cables can also be routed can.

According to Figure 1 is under the lintel or beam 1 above the window opening 2 a masonry 3 a box 4 arranged, the with its end walls 5, 6 outside with a tab 7 with the vertical frame part of a window frame 8 is connected. The width of the box 4 corresponds almost to the thickness of the wall 3, i.e. the width of the reveal 9 of the window opening 2.

As can be seen in FIG. 3, the longitudinal inside walls run 10, 11 of the box 4 at a distance a, b from the window frame 8 on the outside A and the inside B of the window.

In the interior IR in the box 4 is a schematically shown Roller shutters 12 mounted with its winding shaft 13.

While through the slot 14 formed by the distance a between the longitudinal side wall 10 and the window frame 8 of the Roller shutter 12 is lowered or opened, is the Slot 15 on the other side of the box 4 through a fitting 16 closed, the slot 15 flush with the side wall 11 completes below.

The embodiment of Figure 4 differs from that according to Figure 3 only in that instead of the roller shutter 12 the outside A a train blind 17 arranged in the box 4 is.

According to FIG. 5, there is a roller blind in the box 4 on the inside B. 18 arranged. For this purpose, the slot 14 on the outside A closed with a fitting 19, which also the subspace 20 in box 4 on the outside of the window frame 8 separates from the subspace 21 on the inside, in which the Roller blind 18 is mounted with the shaft 22. The fitting 19 has a stop 34 for the window frame 8, the the outside or inside of the frame 8 may be provided can.

The embodiment according to FIG. 6 differs from that according to Figure 5 only in that instead of Roller blinds 18 a train blind 17 is provided.

According to Figure 7 is in the subspace 20 of the box 4 on the outside a roller shutter 12 and in the subspace 21 on the inside a roller blind 18 is arranged. The fitting 23 separates the Subspaces 20 and 21 from each other. In Figure 7 are at the same time the mounting receptacles 24, for example arranged in a grid Openings can be seen around the mounting plate 25 on the blind 18 is mounted, for example by screwing.

The embodiment of Figure 2 differs from that 1 and 3 to 7 only in that the box 4 separate from the window frame above the window opening .2 is installed. As can also be seen in FIG. 2, the box 4 at the same time the lintel over the window opening 2 form.

According to Figure 8 extend from the end walls 5, 6 of the Box 4 along the reveal 9 board-shaped plates 26, 27 to the bottom of the window opening 2. The plates 26, 27 are on the inside, i.e. on their sides facing each other provided with longitudinal grooves 28, 29 in which, for example, a Guide rail for a roller shutter can be attached.

The plates 26, 27 can be part of the window or Be door frame 8 or subsequently on the window or door frame 8 are attached. That is, even if box 4 has already been attached to the window or door frame a later attachment of the plates 26, 27 possible. The plates 26, 27 can thus for example in the embodiment 2 are still applied subsequently.

As shown in Figure 9 using the plate 27, the Plates 26, 27 have a width that is almost the width of the wall equivalent. Between the plate 27 and the wall 3 is a Foam 31 provided. Through recesses 32 on the outside the plate 26 is the interface between the Foam 31 and the plate 27 enlarged accordingly. The Plate 26 is formed in the same way and on the wall 3 appropriate.
