Abstract

Revolving shutter case unit has a casing body (1) that contains the armored shutter (2) and a fly mesh (5). An additional canvas blind (7) for sun protection is also attached.

Description

The invention relates to a roller shutter box assembly, with a box body to hold a roller shutter curtain and of a fly screen.

A roller shutter box assembly of the type described above Design is exemplified in the context of DE 196 26 124 A1 described. Comparable aggregates are the subject of DE 94 13 520 U1. The well-known roller shutter box units have proven themselves when it comes to a roller shutter curtain with a fly screen or a fly screen roller blind to combine. However, the sun protection in need of improvement or is missing entirely or must be dated Roller shutter curtain can be taken over. This is where the invention wants Remedy.

The invention is based on the technical problem Roller shutter box assembly of the nature described above to train so that a workable Sun protection is achieved.

To solve this task is within the Invention a generic shutter box assembly characterized in that in or on the box body additionally another awning, a sun protection film or a comparable cover sheet is attached. at this awning may be a vertical awning with in the use position essentially parallel to one Act awning fabric that extends the window or door level. In addition, it is also conceivable to use the awning as a folding awning with in side view in use position at least partially angled with respect to the door or Window level or a roller shutter curtain level arranged Form awning cover.

In any case, the - in addition to the roller shutter curtain and the awning provided - one reliable and easy to use sun protection. This usually prevents (intense) sun rays into a window that can be locked by the roller shutter curtain or open a door and one behind it, for example heat the room unnecessarily. Leave at the same time the lighting conditions with such an awning optimize in the room in question. You can do that with one Roller shutter curtains, if only because they fall through Light is usually far too little and an unnatural one Shading of the room behind caused. In contrast, the awning, a sun protection film or a comparable cover sheet from its translucency geographical conditions and space requirements adapt optimally. This is especially true if an awning is used, which the Sun with the at least partially angularly arranged Awning cover reliably shadows and still sufficient Lets light into the room behind.

There are various possibilities within the scope of the invention for further development. So basically the awning in a on the roller shutter curtain, preferably on whose end rod, attached protective housing added be, as already in the beginning addressed DE 196 26 124 A1 is described in detail. Of course, the fly screen is in this variant firmly arranged inside the box body, is, for example, below the roller shutter curtain, in an upper front corner of the box body or a lower or upper rear corner of the Box body.

Alternatively, the fly screen can also be in the on the roller shutter armor, preferably attached to its end rod Protective housing can be arranged while the awning is together is placed in the box body with the roller shutter curtain. In In both cases, an end bar can usually be used Awning or the awning cloth or the fly screen in the window or door opening so that the roller shutter curtain moving up and down for the associated opening and closing Unwind the awning cloth or fly screen the protective housing. This embodiment offers the Advantage that for the roller shutter curtain and the awning cover or fly screens only ever a pair of (common) Guide rails is required. For that they can respective material webs, on the one hand roller shutter armor and on the other hand, awning cloth or fly screen is not independent move from each other.

Therefore, the invention usually proposes the awning together with their protective housing on the box body, preferably to attach to its bottom board, whereas in Box body of the roller shutter armor and the fly screen be included. That is, this is basically how it is here proceeded as described in DE 198 55 166 A1 with the difference that just now in addition, a fly screen for the roller shutter curtain in the box body should occur.

A variant is particularly preferred in which the Awning and the fly screen together with the roller shutter curtain be included in the box body. One ensures Awning winding shaft for receiving the awning while a fly screen winding shaft winding and unwinding the Fly screen serves and finally a roller shutter curtain shaft stocked the roller shutter curtain. Preferably are the awning winding shaft and the fly screen winding shaft arranged in front of the roller shutter armature winding shaft. Such a topology is recommended so that the Roller shutter curtain, the awning and the fly screen from their arrangement can be optimized. That's how it was proven to be particularly advantageous if the Roller shutter armor between the awning and the fly screen is arranged.

This usually involves positioning in the order Awning - roller shutter curtain - fly screen. This therefore, so that the awning, which is regularly designed as a folding awning Awning does not collide with the roller shutter curtain and otherwise the one behind the roller shutter curtain Fly screens provide continuous insect protection can, with simple operation. Of course other arrangements are also conceivable.

This is what the roller shutter curtain likes for a front cover worry while behind the awning and the fly screen are located. Such a topology has the advantage connected that the roller shutter armor the ones behind it other material webs (awning and fly screen) is able to protect against weather influences. there In this context it is advisable to refer to a Vertical awning and no retractable awning. Nevertheless, the latter variant should A control device usually ensures that it is used making sure that there are no collisions between the roller shutter curtain and the awning comes.

Because with the help of this control device respective drives for the roller shutter curtain, the fly screen and control the awning. This usually happens depending on the position of the aforementioned material webs to each other and depending on the geographical conditions, Weather conditions, operator request etc. Of course can the control device be operated remotely, if so desired and may otherwise work that way and be constructed as described in DE 199 47 961 A1 is described.

Roller shutter guide rails serve to guide the roller shutter curtain. In contrast, the fly screen is in fly screen guide rails recorded during the awning Awning guide rails are assigned. Since the invention Includes variants in which roller shutter armor and Fly screens or awnings form a unit, this leads inevitably on at least two different rails, whereby roller shutter guide rail and fly screen guide rail or roller shutter guide rail and awning guide rail can be identical.

As a rule, however, there are three each Pairs of guide rails according to the arrangement of the individual material webs to each other in front of a window or Door opening are placed. This is usually the case on the front as the first awning guide rails followed by the roller shutter guide rails to which the fly screen guide rails are attached connect on the back. It is conceivable to manufacture all guide rails separately and then attach to a frame, for example by They catch. The invention naturally also includes Refinements in which individual guide rails form a composite aggregate. For example the respective roller shutter guide rails and fly screen guide rails be summarized. It is too conceivable, a complete unit from roller shutter guide rail, Fly screen guide rail and awning guide rail display. As a result, the storage effort reduced and the manufacture simplified.

For reasons of flexibility and easy retrofitting however, the guide rails are mostly via snap-in connections united with each other. Such an approach is also associated with the advantage of various To be able to use materials for the guide rails. It is conceivable, for example, the roller shutter guide rails made of a metal, preferably aluminum manufacture while the fly screen guide rails and Awning guide rails usually as extruded plastic profiles are executed.

A roller shutter box assembly is always available provided that meets all conceivable requirements and provides an unprecedented level of comfort. All of this is possible with a flexible structure, taking into account the respective customer requirements. That's how it works Fly screens with the fly screen guide rails usually ensuring reliable insect protection is realized. Since the mosquito screen mostly Represents first material web facing window or door, the operation is simple and easy. As The second is usually the roller shutter curtain, so that whose roller shutter guide rails between the fly screen guide rails and the awning guide rails as third component are arranged. Because the roller shutter curtain anyway mostly from the inside using a roller shutter belt or a drive is operated, roller shutter curtains come and fly screens don't get in the way.

The awning then follows on the front, which is usually a Awning is executed. This allows one effective and flexible shading of the underlying Reach the room without too much loss of brightness are listed. Because the roller shutter curtain behind the awning or folding awning is arranged Collisions between the roller shutter curtain and any Exhibition arrangement for the exhibition awning reliably avoided.

The mostly mandatory control device ensures that that the individual material webs are specifically controlled and can be operated. This also happens depending from their respective positions, with the help of one or multiple sensors can be queried. For example, it is nonsensical, with the awning extended To lower the roller shutter curtain. At least that's the case for a long time, not like the roller shutter curtain for darkening the night should worry. In this case (night darkening) you will mostly raise the awning. It is the same conceivable to only allow the fly screen function when the roller shutter curtain is fully or partially open. In contrast, a closed roller shutter curtain does not require any additional insect protection. - In any case, it becomes clear that with the help of the control device certain logical Links shown and communicated to the operator can be. Of course, these links can be also specified by the operator alone, if so is desired.

a roller shutter box assembly according to the invention in a first embodiment,

Fig. 2

a modification of the design of FIG. 1,

Fig. 3

an also modified embodiment and

Fig. 4

another modified variant.

A shutter box assembly is shown in the figures, which have a box body 1 for receiving a Roller shutter curtain 2 has. The roller shutter curtain 2 opens a roller shutter armor winding shaft 3 added. As part of of the embodiment has the roller shutter armature winding shaft 3 about a not expressly shown Drive, which addressed via a control device 4 and winds up and unwinds the roller shutter curtain 2.

In addition to the roller shutter curtain 2 can be found in the box body 1 a fly screen 5, which on a fly screen wave 6 is wound up. In this case too, the control device ensures 4 for driving the fly screen shaft 6 and associated with this a winding and unwinding of the fly screen 5th

Finally, the box body 1 also takes one Awning 7, which is within the scope of the embodiment 1 around an articulated arm awning, that is, a special awning. The awning 7 is supported by an awning winding shaft 8 recorded, which are also from the control device 4 or an associated drive is applied.

Both the fly screen winding shaft 6 and the Awning winding shaft 8 are designed as roller blind shafts. The means that they are hollow shafts in their Internally arranged spring, which ensures that the each recorded material web, on the one hand the Fly screen 5, on the other hand an awning cloth 9, on the respective shaft 6, 8 are wound up if none of that Unwinding force is exerted. At this Power may be around the screen 5 act already mentioned drive, which the Fly screen winding shaft 6 against the spring force accordingly rotates. At this point, one can just as well manual force are exerted on an end rod 10 attacks on the screen 5 and this end rod 10 in associated Fly screen guide rails 11 locked or otherwise.

The roller shutter curtain 2 can also be Roller shutter guide rails 12 for theft protection wedge if necessary. The Awning cloth 9 is by means of the associated drive from the awning winding shaft 8 and takes the Desired shading function true.

It is also conceivable to use one at this point Downpipe 13 to work, which by its weight (with the brake released within the awning winding shaft 8) unwraps the awning fabric 9 from the awning winding shaft 8 (see Fig. 2). Here an awning 7 is shown, which as Markisolette is executed. In addition to the downpipe 13 takes place a guide tube 14, which the awning cloth 9 in the upper Area leads vertically. On the other hand, display rails 15 for the awning cover 9 below the guide tube 14 an angled position compared to the window or Door level E of a window behind it or one Occupies the door. From this window or the door is only a frame 16 indicated, the box body 1 on this frame 16 in the sense of a top box is mounted. Of course, the box body 1 also be designed as an attachment box.

Serve to guide the awning 7 or the awning cover 9 Awning guide rails 17, in which not shown Slide rails run, the guide tube 14 and the opening rails 15 wear, as is basically the case in DE 199 49 163 C1 is described. You can see that on the front of the awning guide rails 17 Roller shutter guide rails 12 follow, in which Towards the window frame 16, the fly screen guide rails 11 connect (see Fig. 2).

Of course, the awning 7 - in contrast to the variants shown in the exemplary embodiment - not only in the box body 1, but also on the box body Install 1 in a separate protective housing. As well it is within the scope of the invention, the awning or that Fly screen with a separate housing or one Equip the cassette and on the roller shutter end of the To install roller shutter curtain, as in DE 196 26 124 A1 is described. However, this is not shown. Furthermore, the invention includes variants of the shape that it the awning 7 or the awning cover 9 by one Sun protection film or a comparable cover sheet (not necessarily made of fabric).

A topology is selected in the context of FIG which the awning winding shaft 8 and the fly screen winding shaft 6 in front of the roller shutter armor winding shaft 3 are arranged. The awning 7 and thus the awning winding shaft 8 can be found in the upper front corner of the Box body 1, while the screen 5 together with the fly screen wave 6 in the immediate vicinity an outlet slot 18 of the box body 1 is arranged is. In contrast, the roller shutter curtain 2 takes a central Position in box body 1.

He also keeps this within the scope of the variant according to FIG. 2 at. Here is compared to the illustration of FIG. 1 different that the fly screen 5 or the fly screen wave 6 in the rear lower box corner of the Box body 1 is arranged so that the screen 5 through a slot S between the roller shutter curtain 2 and a bottom board of the box body 1 to the exit slot 18 of the box body 1 must be performed. A Deflection device 19 ensures that this Area essentially parallel to the floor board Fly screen 5 is deflected into a vertical course and so that is also perpendicular to the bottom board of the box body 1 adjoining fly screen guide rails 11 immersed with the end rod 10.

In contrast, the awning 7 in the variant according to FIG. 3 with its awning winding shaft 8 (and not that Fly screen 5 with its fly screen shaft 6) in the rear lower corner of the box body 1, and where there are the in the embodiment of FIG Fly screen shaft 6 has found. On the other hand, that takes now Fly screen 5 the previous position of the awning 7 in the front upper corner. In this case, too Deflection device 19 for the awning fabric 9 in the associated awning guide rail 17 flawlessly is introduced. In this case it is the Awning 7 mostly around a vertical awning, already from Approach collisions in the context of FIG. 3 before located roller shutter curtain 2 with an opening device 13, 14, 15 (see FIG. 2) to avoid.

4 finally deals with another Modification in which the screen 5 its position leave in the rear lower corner of the box body 1 and rather occupies the upper back corner. The however requires a double redirection, so that too the deflection device 19 a further deflection device 20 should occur. In contrast, the awning 7 is in turn front upper corner of the box body 1 arranged. The Roller shutter curtain 2 can still be found in the center of the Box body 1.

It is clear that very different within the scope of the invention Refinements are conceivable and implemented can be. This applies in particular to the Arrangement of the roller shutter curtain 2, the fly screen 5 and the awning 7 to each other in the box body 1. Of course can the awning 7 on the box body 1, preferably be attached to its bottom board, so that the box body 1 as such only the roller shutter curtain 2 records together with the screen 5. As good as could the awning 7 on a headboard board Box body 1 or laterally attached to this become.

A multifunctional roller shutter box is always used Made available by previously unknown Variety of controls and special comfort are convincing. Last but not least, the control device 4, which the respective material webs or the roller shutter curtain 2, the screen 5 and finally the awning 7 or that Awning cloth 9 independently or even controls each other, depending on each other from the respective position of the aforementioned elements to each other, the requirements of an operator, the geographical or climatic conditions, the time of day etc.
