Description

The invention relates to a roller shutter box assembly, with a box body for receiving a roller shutter curtain and a fly screen, wherein in or on the box body additionally an awning and wherein roller shutter armor guide rails, Fly screens guide rails and awning guide rails are provided.

A roller shutter box assembly of the design described above is documented in the context of DE 36 43 233 A1. This is about one prefabricated window and roller shutter device for houses. In this Also related is the motor drive of individual roller shutter systems described. A vote with each other does not take place.

The Japanese prior publication JP 2001 090 451 A deals with a roller shutter box assembly comprising a roller shutter and an awning combined together.

In the context of DE 196 26 124 A1, a roller shutter with an additional shield described. Comparable aggregates are the subject of DE 94 13 520 U1.

The well-known roller shutter box assemblies have proven themselves when it that's why, a roller shutter shell with a fly screen or a fly screen roller blind to combine. However, the sunscreen is in need of improvement or missing entirely or must be taken from the roller shutter become. If at this point the DE 36 43 233 A1 already corresponding Starting points, it is noticeable that the individual cover tracks as it were be operated arbitrarily.

At this fundamental problem can also DE 297 14 391 U1 nothing to change. Because this deals with a combination of roller shutters and insect screen roller blind.

The invention is based on the technical problem of a roller shutter box assembly of the nature described above, that in all circumstances a functional operation is possible and Incidentally, a room ventilation succeeds unchanged.

To solve this task is within the scope of the invention generic roller shutter box assembly characterized in that the Awning is designed as awning with downpipe and draft tube, the Guide tube leads awning cloth in the upper area vertically, and where Display rails ensure that the awning fabric below the guide tube an angled position compared to the window or door plane of a behind it window or a door or a roller shutter panel level occupies, and that the roller shutter armor guide rails between the Fly screen guide rails and the awning guide rails arranged are.

The awning is so as Ausstell-awning with in use position in side view at least partially angularly opposite the door or window level or a roller shutter armor layer arranged awning cloth formed. It provides in addition to the roller shutter and the fly screen provided awning a reliable and easy to handle Sunscreen dar. This usually prevents (intense) sun rays in a window that can be closed by the roller shutter or a door come in and unnecessarily heat, for example, a room located behind it.

At the same time can be with such an awning, the lighting conditions in the room in question. This succeeds with a roller shutter armor not because the light is mostly too low and caused an unnatural shadowing of the space behind it. In contrast, the awning can be based on their translucency ago optimally adapt the geographical conditions and space requirements. Because with the awning the sun is at least partially Angled awning cloth reliably shaded and will still work enough light into the room behind it.

In the context of the invention, there are various possibilities for further Design. Thus, the awning can basically be mounted in a Protective housing are received, and indeed, as in the beginning already mentioned DE 196 26 124 A1 is described in detail. Of course In this variant, the fly screen is fixed inside the box body arranged, for example, is located below the roller shutter, in an upper front corner of the box body or a lower one or upper rear corner of the box body.

The invention usually proposes the awning together with her Protective housing on the box body, preferably on the bottom board to install, whereas in the box body the roller shutter and the fly screen be recorded. That is, this is basically the procedure as described in DE 198 55 166 A1, but with the Difference, that just added a fly screen to the roller shutter added in the box body.

Particularly preferred is a variant in which the awning and the Flyscreens included in the box body together with the roller shutter become. An awning winding shaft ensures the absorption of the Awning, while a fly screen winding shaft winding and unwinding the Flyscreen serves and finally a roller shutter shell winding shaft Rollladenpanzer stockpiled. Preferably, the awning winding shaft and the Flyworm winding shaft respectively arranged in front of the roller shutter shell winding shaft. Such a topology is recommended, so that the roller shutter, the awning and the fly screen can be optimized by their arrangement. So had it proved to be particularly advantageous if the roller shutter between the awning and the fly screen is arranged.

This is usually a positioning in the order awning - Roller shutter - Fly screens. This is why, so that as Ausstell-awning executed awning did not collide with the roller shutter and incidentally the fly screen behind the roller shutter for a continuous Insect protection can provide, and with ease of use. Of course, other arrangements are conceivable.

A controller ensures that there is no collision between the Roller shutter and the awning comes. Because with the help of this control device can the respective drives for the roller shutter, the Fly screens and the awning control.

This usually happens depending on the position of the aforementioned Material webs to each other and depending on geographical conditions, Weather conditions, operator request, etc. Of course, the Remote control if desired and may otherwise work and be constructed as described in DE 199 47 961 A1 is described.

To guide the roller shutter armor serve the roller shutter guide rails. The In contrast, fly screens are recorded in the fly screen rails, while the awning guide rails are assigned. As a rule, three pairs of guide rails are used here Use according to the arrangement of the individual material webs to each other placed in front of a window or door opening.

Thus, for the most part, the first awning guide rails are found at the front from the roller shutter guide rails to which the fly screen guide rails connect at the back. It is conceivable, all Manufacture guide rails separately and then attach to a frame, for example, by latching. Likewise, the invention includes Of course, embodiments in which individual guide rails a form a composite aggregate. For example, the respective Roller shutter guide rails and fly screen guide rails combined become. It is also conceivable to provide a complete unit of roller shutter guide rails, Fly screens guide rails and awning guide rails display. As a result, the storage cost is reduced and in Incidentally, the production simplified.

For reasons of flexibility and easy retrofitting, the guide rails However, mostly via latching connections with each other. A Such an approach is also associated with the advantage of different To use materials for the guide rails. That's the way it is, for example conceivable, the roller shutter guide rails made of a metal, preferably Aluminum, while the fly screens guide rails and Awning guide rails usually designed as plastic extruded profiles are.

Always a roller shutter box assembly is provided, the all conceivable requirements and a hitherto unknown Comfort provides. All this succeeds in a flexible structure Consideration of the respective customer requirements. This is how the fly screen provides The fly screen guide rails usually ensure that a reliable Insect protection is realized. Since the fly screen is the window or one Door facing facing first web, the operation is simple and problems. Second follows the roller shutter, so that Roller shutter guide rails between the fly screens guide rails and the awning guide rails are arranged as a third component. Since the Roller shutter armor anyway mostly from the inside over a roller shutter belt or a drive is operated, come roller shutter and fly screens not in the way.

Front then follows the awning, which is designed as Ausstell-awning. This allows an effective and flexible shading of the behind it Reach space without too much loss of brightness are recorded. The fact that the roller shutter armor behind the awning or Ausstell-Awning is arranged, be collisions between the Roller shutter and the Ausstellanordnung for the awning awning reliable avoided.

The mostly compulsory control device ensures that the individual Material webs can be specifically controlled and operated. This happens moreover, depending on their respective position, which with the help of one or multiple sensors can be queried. That's the way it is, for example nonsensical, with lowered awning to lower the roller shutter. This is true at least as long as not the roller shutter for a Nachtverdunklung should take care of. In this case (Nachtverdunklung) one becomes mostly the Raise the awning. It is also conceivable that the fly screen function only then if the roller shutter is fully or partially open. In contrast, a closed roller shutter requires no additional Insect protection. - Anyway, it becomes clear that with the help of the control device certain logical links are presented and communicated to the operator can be. Of course, these links can also be to be specified by the operator alone, if desired.

a further modified variant.

In the figures, a roller shutter box assembly is shown, via a box body 1 for receiving a Roller shutter tank 2 features. The roller shutter 2 is on a roller shutter shell winding shaft 3 was added. As part of of the embodiment has the roller shutter shell winding shaft 3 about a not explicitly shown Drive, which is addressed via a control device 4 is and the roller shutter 2 up and unwound.

In addition to the roller shutter 2 is found in the box body 1 a fly screen 5, which is on a fly screen wave 6 is wound up. Also in this case, the controller provides 4 for a drive of the fly screen shaft. 6 and, consequently, a winding and unwinding of the fly screen 5th

Finally, the box body 1 additionally takes one more Awning 7 on, in which it is within the scope of the embodiment according to FIG. 1 about an articulated arm awning, So this is a special awning. The awning 7 is of an awning winding shaft. 8 received, which also by the control device 4 or an associated drive is acted upon.

Both the fly screen winding shaft 6 and the Awning winding shaft 8 are designed as roller blinds. The means, it is so far with hollow shafts in their Interior arranged spring, which ensures that the each recorded webs, on the one hand the Fly screen 5, on the other hand an awning cloth 9, on the respective shaft 6, 8 are wound, if none Unwinding causing force is exercised. At this Force it may be in the context of the fly screen 5 to the already mentioned drive act, which the Flyworm winding shaft 6 against the spring force accordingly rotates. Just as well at this point one can manual force to be exerted on an end bar 10th the fly screen 5 attacks and this end bar 10 in associated Flyscreens guide rails 11 locks or in other ways.

Also, the roller shutter 2 can be in associated Roller shutter guide rails 12 for reasons of theft protection wedge if necessary. The Awning cloth 9 is by means of the associated drive of the awning winding shaft 8 unwound and takes the desired shading function true.

In addition, it is also conceivable, at this point with a Downpipe 13 to work, which by its weight (with the brake released within the awning winding shaft 8) the awning fabric 9 unwinds from the awning winding shaft 8 (see Fig. 2). Here is an awning 7 shown as Markisolette is executed. In addition to the downpipe 13 finds a guide tube 14 which the awning fabric 9 in the upper Area leads vertically. In contrast, provide Ausstellschienen 15 for the awning cloth 9 below the guide tube 14 an angled position compared to the window or Door level E of a window behind or a Door takes. From this window or the door is only a frame 16 indicated, wherein the box body 1 on this frame 16 in the sense of a Aufsetzkastens is mounted. Of course, the box body 1 also be designed as a header box.

To guide the awning 7 and the awning cloth 9 serve Awning guide rails 17, in which not shown Slide rails run, the guide tube 14 and the Ausstellschienen 15, and so, as the principle in DE 199 49 163 C1 is described. You realize that on the front of the awning guide rails 17 the Roller shutter guide rails 12 follow, in which Direction of the frame 16 the fly screen guide rails 11 connect (see Fig. 2).

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

In the context of Fig. 1, a topology is selected at which the awning winding shaft 8 and the fly screen winding shaft 6 respectively in front of the roller shutter shell 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 fly 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 2 takes a central Position in the box body 1 a.

This he also retains in the context of the variant of FIG. 2 at. Here is compared to the representation of FIG. 1 different, that the fly screen 5 or the fly screen wave 6 in the back lower corner of the box Box body 1 is arranged so that the fly screen. 5 through a slot S between the roller shutter 2 and a floorboard of the box body 1 towards the exit slot 18 of the box body 1 must be performed. A Deflection device 19 ensures that in this Area guided essentially parallel to the floorboard Fly screen 5 is deflected in a vertical course and so in the also perpendicular to the floorboard of the box body 1 subsequent fly screen guide rails 11 immersed with the end bar 10.

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

Finally, FIG. 4 deals with another one Variation in which the fly screen 5 its position leave in the lower rear corner of the box body 1 has and rather occupies the upper rear corner. The However, requires a double deflection, so too the deflection device 19, a further deflection device 20th should occur. In contrast, the awning 7 is again in the front upper corner of the box body 1 is arranged. Of the Roller shutter 2 finds itself unchanged in the center of the Box body 1.

It is clear that in the context of the invention very different Embodiments are conceivable and realized can be. This applies in particular with regard to Arrangement of the roller shutter armor 2, the fly screen 5 and the awning 7 to each other in the box body 1. Of course can the awning 7 also on the box body 1, preferably attached to the floorboard, so that the box body 1 as such only the roller shutter 2 5 together with the fly screen. As good as could the awning 7 on a headboard of the board Box body 1 or laterally attached to this become.

Always a multifunctional shutter box for Provided by the previously unknown Operation variety and special comfort convinced. This is not least the control device 4, which provides the respective material webs or the roller shutter armor 2, the fly screen 5 and finally the awning 7 or the Awning cloth 9 independently or even yourself controls each other, depending on 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.
