Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge oder dergleichen translatorisch bewegbare und/oder aufrollbare Roll- oder Schiebelemente von insbesondere Möbeln, wobei die Jalousiezüge aus nebeneinander angeordneten parallelen und in Querrichtung der Jalousien verlaufenden Stäben, Leisten oder ähnlichen zusammengesetzt und diese an ihren Querkanten in in den einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden ausgeführten Nuten oder ähnlichen Führungsschienen hin und her beweglich geführt sind.The invention relates to a braking device for blinds or the like in translation movable and / or rollable rolling or sliding elements of furniture, in particular the Venetian blinds consist of parallel and transversely arranged Venetian blinds extending rods, strips or the like and these on their Transverse edges in grooves or in the opposite side walls similar guide rails are movably guided back and forth.

Schränke mit Jalousiezügen, auch als Rollschränke bezeichnet, finden heute vielfältig speziell in Büroeinrichtungen Verwendung. Rollschränke haben den Vorteil, dass sie hinsichtlich des Platzbedarfs sehr vorteilhaft sind. Sie nehmen den gleichen Platz in Anspruch unabhängig davon, ob sie geöffnet oder geschlossen sind. Rollschränke sind im allgemeinen so ausgeführt, dass an den vertikalen Schrankseiten Nuten ausgebildet sind, in denen sich die Jalousiezüge bewegen und zwar derart, dass sich die Jalousiezüge vorzugsweise auf- bzw. abwärts bewegen. Die Jalousiezüge werden üblicherweise aus Stäben, Leisten oder Ähnlichem gebildet und können rückseitig an einem einheitlichen Stoff oder einer ähnlichen Bahn befestigt sein.Cabinets with blinds, also known as roller cabinets, are particularly diverse today use in office furnishings. Roll cabinets have the advantage of being of space are very advantageous. They take up the same space independently whether they're open or closed. Roll cabinets are generally designed that grooves are formed on the vertical sides of the cabinet in which the blinds are located move in such a way that the blinds move up or down move down. The blinds are usually made of bars, strips or the like formed and can be on the back on a uniform fabric or similar sheet be attached.

Jalousiezüge und die mit ihnen korrespondierenden Nuten müssen so ausgebildet sein, dass zum einen die Nuten so breit ausgeführt werden müssen, dass der Jalousiezug darin leicht und ohne großen Kraftaufwand läuft. Zum anderen darf der Jalousiezug in den Nuten nicht zu leicht laufen, da dieser sonst beispielsweise auf die Finger fallen kann und so Verletzungen verursachen kann.Venetian blind pulls and the corresponding grooves must be designed so that on the one hand the grooves have to be made so wide that the blind pull in them runs easily and with little effort. On the other hand, the blind pull may be in the grooves do not run too easily, as this could otherwise fall on your fingers and cause injuries can cause.

Jalousiezüge haben bei Rollschränken, in denen der Jalousiezug vertikal bewegt wird, d. h. auf- bzw. abwärts, den Nachteil, dass diese sich beim Öffnen oder Schließen ungebremst bewegen, wodurch ein gewisses Verletzungsrisiko beim Benutzer entstehen kann.Blinds have in rolling cupboards in which the blind is moved vertically, i. H. upwards or downwards, the disadvantage that they open without brakes when opening or closing move, which can create a certain risk of injury to the user.

Um diese Nachteile zu beseitigen, ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, im hinteren Teil von Jalousiezug und Schrank ein Federsystem unterzubringen. To overcome these drawbacks, it has already been suggested in the back of Shutter and cabinet to accommodate a spring system.

Mit diesem Federsystem wird erreicht, dass der Jalousiezug leicht in der Nut läuft, ohne sich beim Loslassen von selbst zu bewegen. Der Nachteil dieser Lösung besteht darin, dass einerseits das Federsystem sehr kompliziertes aufgebaut und andererseits eine doppelte Rückwand erforderlich ist.This spring system ensures that the blind pull runs easily in the groove without itself to move on release by itself. The disadvantage of this solution is that on the one hand the spring system is very complicated and on the other hand a double one Back wall is required.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Nuten relativ breit auszuführen, um die Beweglichkeit des Jalousiezuges zu gewährleisten, und in der Nut einen bremsenden Stoff (z.B. Polyurethan) zum Bremsen der Jalousiebewegung anzubringen.
Des weiteren wurde vorgeschlagen, an bestimmten Stäben des Jalousiezuges Reibungszapfen anzubringen, die in den Nuten laufen und die Jalousiebewegung bremsen.
In der Funktionsfähigkeit dieser Möglichkeiten traten jedoch Nachteile und Probleme auf.
Another possibility is to make the grooves relatively wide in order to ensure the mobility of the blind pull and to apply a braking material (eg polyurethane) in the groove to brake the blind movement.
Furthermore, it has been proposed to attach friction pins to certain rods of the Venetian blind train, which run in the grooves and brake the Venetian blind movement.
However, there were disadvantages and problems in the functionality of these options.

Bremsvorrichtungen der eingangs beschrieben Art bestehen herkömmlicherweise aus an den Enden von Jalousiezügen befestigten Seilzügen, die ihrerseits mit einem eine Drehfeder und einen Arretierkörper aufweisenden Feststell- oder Bremskörper verbunden sind, der sich vorzugsweise im Schrankinneren im hinteren Bereich quer durch das Möbel erstreckt.
Diese sind bei Reparaturen nur sehr schwer zugänglich, so dass am Möbel selbst erhebliche Arbeiten auszuführen sind, um defekte Teile der Bremseinrichtung auszutauschen oder diese zu reparieren.
Braking devices of the type described in the introduction consist conventionally of cables attached to the ends of blinds, which in turn are connected to a locking or braking body having a torsion spring and a locking body, which preferably extends in the interior of the cabinet in the rear area across the furniture.
These are very difficult to access during repairs, so that considerable work has to be carried out on the furniture itself in order to replace defective parts of the braking device or to repair them.

Weiterhin werden als Bremsvorrichtungen federbelastete Rollen, die auf die Innenseite des Jalousiezuges wirken, verwendet. Das durch eine Federkraft belastete und sich auf der Innenseite abstützende Element drückt die Außenfläche des Jalousiezuges gegen die Außenkante der Nut oder einer ähnlichen Führungsschiene, um so die der Bewegung des Jalousiezuges entgegen wirkende Reibungskraft zu erhöhen.
Diese Lösung hat den Nachteil, dass die Bremseinrichtung ständig im Eingriff steht, so dass das Öffnen oder Schließen nur gegen Überwindung der entgegenwirkenden Reibungskraft möglich ist. Eine Leichtgängigkeit ist somit nicht gegeben.
Spring-loaded rollers, which act on the inside of the Venetian blind, are also used as braking devices. The element, which is loaded by a spring force and is supported on the inside, presses the outer surface of the blind pull against the outer edge of the groove or a similar guide rail, in order to increase the frictional force counteracting the movement of the blind pull.
This solution has the disadvantage that the braking device is constantly engaged, so that opening or closing is only possible by overcoming the opposing frictional force. It is therefore not easy to move.

Eine Bremsvorrichtung, die auf den Jalousiezug wirkt, ist aus der DE 195 31 071 C1 bekannt. A braking device that acts on the Venetian blind is known from DE 195 31 071 C1.

Die hier beschriebene Bremsvorrichtung besteht aus einem in einem Gehäuse angeordneten Bremskörper, wobei der Bremskörper als bewegliche, aus einer in Bremsrichtung arretierenden Bremsbetriebsstellung durch ein mit dem Jalousiezug koppelbaren Betätigungselement in eine Freigabestellung überführbare Bremsbacke ausgebildet ist. Durch die bewegliche Anordnung des Bremskörpers innerhalb des Gehäuses ist dieser in Folge des Eigengewichtes bei geöffnetem Jalousiezug automatisch in der Bremsstellung gelegen. Wird der Jalousiezug geöffnet, wird die Bremsbacke durch den Betätigungskörper, z.B. einen Streifen aus einem elastischen Material im Verlaufe der Öffnungsbewegung des Jalousiezuges automatisch in seine Freigabestellung überführt, so dass der Jalousiezug ohne irgendwelche Behinderungen durch den Bremskörper selbst in seine geöffnete Stellung gebracht werden kann.The braking device described here consists of a arranged in a housing Brake body, wherein the brake body as a movable, arresting in the braking direction Brake operating position by means of an actuating element that can be coupled to the blind pull brake shoe which can be converted into a release position is formed. By moving The arrangement of the brake body within the housing is due to its own weight automatically in the braking position when the blind pull is open. Will the If the blind pull is opened, the brake shoe is activated by the actuating body, e.g. a streak made of an elastic material automatically during the opening movement of the blind pull transferred to its release position so that the blind pull without any Disabilities are brought into its open position by the brake body itself can.

Derartige Bremseinrichtungen sind konstruktiv sehr aufwendig und dadurch bedingt auch teuer. Darüber hinaus kann es durch den an der Innenseite des Jalousiezuges reibenden Bremskörpers zu Zerstörungen der Jalousiezüge kommen.Such braking devices are structurally very complex and therefore also caused expensive. In addition, it can rub through the inside of the blind Brake body to destroy the blinds.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine neue Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge zu schaffen, mit der die oben erläuterten mit dem bekannten Stand der Technik verbundenen Nachteile beseitigt werden können, und die mit einfachen baulichen Mitteln hergestellt werden kann und einen geringen Kostenaufwand verursacht.The present invention is based on the object of a new braking device for To create blinds with which the above explained with the known prior art associated disadvantages can be eliminated, and that with simple structural means can be produced and causes a low cost.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass der Bremskörper der Bremsvorrichtung aus wenigstens einer orthogonal zum Jalousiezug angeordneten Rolle besteht, die an ihrem Umfang ein Ringelement aufweist, wobei die Rolle über eine Welle drehbeweglich gelagert und in einer im Grundkörper angeordneten Schlitzführung führbar ist, die auf die Innenfläche des Jalousiezuges wirken.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the brake body of the braking device consists of at least one roller arranged orthogonally to the blind pull, the has a ring element on its circumference, the roller being rotatable via a shaft stored and can be guided in a slot guide arranged in the base body, which on the The inner surface of the blind pull.

Die Schlitzführung ist in zwei miteinander verbundene Führungskulissen aufgeteilt. Die Führungskulissen sind vorteilhafterweise winklig zueinander ausgeführt, wobei die eine Führungskulisse in einem geringeren Winkel zur Längsachse des Grundkörpers angeordnet ist als die andere Führungskulisse. Wesentlich an der Erfindung ist die Schlitzführung, in der die Rolle bewegbar ist. The slot guide is divided into two interconnected guide links. The leadership backdrops are advantageously carried out at an angle to one another, the one guide link is arranged at a smaller angle to the longitudinal axis of the base body than the other leadership backdrop. What is essential to the invention is the slot guide in which the roller is movable.

Über die Führungskulisse mit dem kleineren Winkel wird die Rolle durch den Jalousiezug in die untere Endlage verfahren. Dadurch verringert sich der Abstand des Rollenpaares zum Jalousiezug.
Der Jalousiezug wird dadurch mit seiner Außenseite gegen die Innenkante der Nut bzw. Führungskulisse gedrückt und somit die Reibungskraft erhöht. Infolge dessen wird der Jalousiezug abgebremst. Bei der entgegengesetzten Bewegung des Jalousiezuges wird die Rolle in die zweite Führungskulisse verfahren. Diese ist wesentlich steiler ausgeführt, so dass die Bremswirkung auf den Jalousiezug aufgehoben wird. Dadurch, dass die Rolle nunmehr in die obere Endlage verfahren wird, ist auch der Druck auf den Jalousiezug aufgehoben. Der Jalousiezug ist wieder leicht bewegbar.
Durch die vorteilhafte Verwendung eines Rollenpaares können Verkantungen bei ihrem Verfahren in die jeweilige Endlage der Schlitzführung vermieden werden.
Die einzelnen Rollen weisen eine Ringnut zur Aufnahme von Ringelementen auf. Die Ringnut kann voll umfänglich oder in Segmenten ausgeformt sein. Mindestens ein Grundkörper mit dem Bremskörper ist im nicht sichtbaren Bereich zwischen einer das Innere der Möbel freigebenden bzw. verschließenden Position des Jalousiezuges angeordnet.
The roller is moved to the lower end position via the guide link with the smaller angle. This reduces the distance between the pair of rollers and the blind pull.
As a result, the outer side of the blind pull is pressed against the inner edge of the groove or guide link, thus increasing the frictional force. As a result, the blind pull is braked. With the opposite movement of the blind pull, the roller is moved into the second guide link. This is made much steeper so that the braking effect on the blind pull is canceled. Because the roller is now moved to the upper end position, the pressure on the blind pull is also released. The blind pull is easy to move again.
Due to the advantageous use of a pair of rollers, tilting can be avoided in their movement into the respective end position of the slot guide.
The individual rollers have an annular groove for receiving ring elements. The annular groove can be fully circumferential or in segments. At least one base body with the brake body is arranged in the non-visible area between a position of the blind pull that releases or closes the interior of the furniture.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Bremsvorrichtung sind zum einen in einem geräuscharmen Bremsvorgang, da sich die Rolle mitdreht, und zum anderen in einem geringen Verschleißverhalten, da die Ringelemente, welche beispielsweise aus Silikon bestehen, nicht bleibend verformt werden und ein gutes Rückstellverhalten aufweisen, zu sehen.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Bremsvorrichtung so ausgebildet ist, dass sie sowohl rechts oder links als auch horizontal oder vertikal, insbesondere bei Möbeln, eingesetzt werden kann.
The advantages of the braking device according to the invention can be seen on the one hand in a low-noise braking process because the roller rotates, and on the other hand in a low wear behavior, since the ring elements, which are made of silicone, for example, are not permanently deformed and have good resilience behavior.
Another advantage is that the braking device is designed so that it can be used on the right or left as well as horizontally or vertically, especially in furniture.

By using a pair of rollers, this can be used when moving within the slot guide 6 of the base body 1 not misjudged. When using a individual roll 2, 2 'in the base body 1, it can be jammed or stiff come.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt den Grundkörper 1 in einer Seitenansicht. In diesem ist in etwa mittig die Schlitzführung 6 angeordnet. Die Schlitzführung 6 ist in zwei unterschiedliche Führungskulissen 7 und 8 aufgeteilt. Die flachere Führungskulisse 7 verläuft in einem Winkel von etwa 5° in Bezug zur Längsachse des Grundkörpers 1. Das Bewegen der Rollen 2, 2' über die Welle 4 in dieser Führungskulisse 7 bewirkt ein Abbremsen des Jalousiezuges. Die Führungskulisse 8 verläuft wesentlich steiler. Der Winkel beträgt in etwa 30° in Bezug auf die Längsachse des Grundkörpers 1. Beim Bewegen der Rollen 2, 2' über die Welle 4 in dieser Führungskulisse 8 wird die Bremswirkung auf den Jalousiezug aufgehoben. 3 shows the base body 1 in a side view. In this is approximately in the middle Slot guide 6 arranged. The slot guide 6 is in two different guide slots 7 and 8 divided. The flatter guide link 7 extends at an angle of approximately 5 ° in relation to the longitudinal axis of the base body 1. Moving the rollers 2, 2 'over the Shaft 4 in this guide link 7 causes the blind train to brake. The leadership backdrop 8 is much steeper. The angle is approximately 30 ° with respect to the Longitudinal axis of the base body 1. When moving the rollers 2, 2 'over the shaft 4 in this Guide link 8, the braking effect on the blind pull is canceled.

In der Fig. 4 sind die Endlagen 9 und 10 der Rollen 2, 2' im Grundkörper 1 dargestellt. Befinden sich die Rollen 2, 2' - hier strichpunktiert dargestellt - in der oberen Endlage 9, ist die Bremswirkung vollständig aufgehoben. Der Jalousiezug lässt sich frei innerhalb der Führungsnuten bewegen. Befinden sich die Rollen 2, 2' in der unteren Endlage 10, wird der größtmögliche Druck auf den Jalousiezug erreicht. Dieser wird über in der Ringnut 12, 12' der Rollen 2, 2' befindlichen Ringelemente 3, 3' abgebremst und mit seiner Außenseite gegen die Außenkante der Führungsnut gedrückt und somit die Reibungskraft erhöht. Der Jalousiezug wird abgebremst.4, the end positions 9 and 10 of the rollers 2, 2 'in the base body 1 are shown. Are located the rollers 2, 2 '- shown here in dash-dotted lines - in the upper end position 9 the braking effect is completely eliminated. The shutter pull can be freely moved within the guide grooves move. Are the rollers 2, 2 'in the lower end position 10, the greatest possible pressure on the blind pull. This is in the annular groove 12, 12 ' the rollers 2, 2 'located ring elements 3, 3' braked and with its outside against pressed the outer edge of the guide groove and thus increases the frictional force. The blind pull is braked.

Die erfindungsgemäße Bremsvorrichtung wird in sogenannten Rollschränken verwendet. Die Frontseite wird durch einen Jalousiezug verschlossen. Beim Öffnen wird der Jalousiezug in einer Schnecke bzw. auf einer Rolle aufgewickelt.
Da der Jalousiezug von oben öffnet und beim Aufsperren durch das Eigengewicht in die Schnecke verfährt, kann dies bei ungebremsten Ausführungen zu Verletzungen des Bedieners bzw. zu Beschädigungen am Jalousiezug/Schrank führen.
Durch die beiden nebeneinanderliegenden Rollen 2, 2' wird der Jalousiezug abgebremst. Dazu verfährt die Welle 4 der Rollen 2, 2' in die Führungskulisse 7 bis in die untere Endlage 10. Beim Hochziehen des Jalousiezuges klinken sich die über die Welle 4 verbundenen Rollen 2, 2' aus und der Jalousiezug kann ohne spürbares Hindernis wieder nach oben gezogen werden.
Durch die beiden Ringelemente 3, 3' die in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als Silikonringe ausgeführt sind, auf den Rollen 2, 2' benötigt man keinen zusätzlichen Bremsschuh, der sehr genau auf der innenliegenden Seite des Jalousiezuges montiert werden muss, um eine optimale Bremswirkung zu erzielen.
The braking device according to the invention is used in so-called roller cabinets. The front is closed by a blind pull. When the blind is opened, it is wound up in a screw or on a roll.
Since the shutter pull opens from above and moves into the screw due to its own weight when unlocked, this can lead to injuries to the operator or damage to the shutter pull / cabinet in the case of unbraked versions.
The blind train is braked by the two adjacent rollers 2, 2 '. For this purpose, the shaft 4 of the rollers 2, 2 'moves into the guide link 7 to the lower end position 10. When the blind pull is pulled up, the rollers 2, 2' connected via the shaft 4 disengage and the blind pull can rise again without any noticeable obstacle to be pulled.
Due to the two ring elements 3, 3 ', which are embodied as silicone rings on the rollers 2, 2' in this exemplary embodiment, no additional brake shoe is required, which has to be mounted very precisely on the inner side of the blind train in order to achieve an optimal braking effect.
