Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gardinenstange nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a curtain rod according to the preamble of claim 1

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Bei Gardinenstangen besteht das Problem, daß sie sich sowohl unter dem Einfluß des Eigengewichts als auch unter dem Einfluß der angehängten Gardine nach unten durchbiegen. Bei einer bekannten Gardinenstange dieser Art (DE 197 36 565 A1) wird versucht, die Durchbiegung der Gardinenstange dadurch zu kompensieren, daß man die gesamte Gardinenstange mittels eines Gewindestücks spannt, das mit einem in Längsrichtung der Gardinenstange verlaufenden Gegengewindebereich zusammenwirkt. Die durch ein Verdrehen von Gewinde und Gegengewinde erzeugte Spannung muß über die Träger in die Wand abgeleitet werden. Durch das Spannen der Gardinenstange kann nur ein Teil der unter Eigengewicht oder Belastung auftretenden Durchbiegung kompensiert werden, weil die Spannkräfte am Ende des Spannvorgangs ins Unendliche wachsen. Die Spannbarkeit hängt also von der Festigkeit der Verankerung der Träger im Mauerwerk ab. Curtain rods have the problem that they both under the influence of its own weight as well as under the Bend down the influence of the attached curtain. at a known curtain rod of this type (DE 197 36 565 A1), the deflection of the curtain rod is thereby tried to compensate that one the entire curtain rod clamped by means of a threaded piece, with a longitudinal direction the curtain rod extending counter-thread area interacts. The by twisting thread and mating thread generated tension must over the carrier in to be derived from the wall. By tensioning the curtain rod can only be a part of under dead weight or load occurring deflection can be compensated, because the clamping forces at the end of the tensioning process to infinity to grow. The tension depends on the strength of the Anchoring the beams in the masonry.

DIE ERFINDUNGTHE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gardinenstange mit Spannvorrichtung so auszubilden, daß auch ohne extrem hohe und nicht mehr beherrschbare Spannkräfte eine Montage der Gardinenstange möglich ist, in der diese im montierten und auch im belasteten Zustand einen möglichst geradlinigen Verlauf aufweist. Es soll die Absenkung der Gardinenstange durch die Spanneinrichtung praktisch vollständig kompensierbar sein.Based on this prior art, the invention The task is based on a curtain rod with tensioning device so that even without extremely high and not more controllable clamping forces a mounting of the curtain rod possible in which these are mounted in the mounted and also in the loaded state as straight as possible course having. It should be the lowering of the curtain rod the clamping device practically completely compensated be.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The solution of this object is achieved with the features of the claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Gardinenstange wird das Rohr in Längsrichtung von einem Zugglied durchsetzt, dessen Mittellinie außerhalb seiner Enden gegenüber der Mittellinie der Gardinenstange im unbelasteten Zustand versetzt verläuft. Das Zugglied liegt mindestens im versetzten Bereich an Anlageflächen eines Einsatzes an, der sich an dem dem Zugglied gegenüberliegenden Innenwandbereich der Gardinenstange abstützt. Eine solche Anordnung hat zur Folge, daß eine Durchbiegung der Gardinenstange durch Spannen des Zugglieds nicht nur kompensiert, sondern sogar überkompensiert werden kann. Eine Gardinenstange, die entsprechend ausgebildet ist und unter Eigengewicht und / oder Belastung nach unten durchhängt, wird durch das Spannen des im mittleren Bereich unten verlaufenden Zugglieds nach oben verschoben. Dabei kann das Zugglied so stark angezogen werden, ohne daß hierzu nicht beherrschbare Spannkräfte erforderlich wären, daß die horizontal eingebaute Gardinenstange sich in ihrem mittleren Bereich sogar über die zwischen den beiden Trägern verlaufende Mittellinie bewegt.In the curtain rod according to the invention, the tube is in Traversed longitudinally by a tension member whose center line outside its ends opposite the midline of the Curtain rod offset in the unloaded state runs. The tension member is at least in the staggered area of contact surfaces an insert attached to the tension member opposite inner wall area of the curtain rod supported. Such an arrangement has the consequence that a Deflection of the curtain rod not only compensated by tensioning the tension member, but can even be overcompensated. A curtain rod, which is designed accordingly and under its own weight and / or load sags down by tensioning in the middle area running down Zugglieds shifted upwards. In this case, the tension member be attracted so strongly, without being unmanageable Tension forces would be required that the horizontal built-in curtain rod in its middle Range even over the running between the two carriers Centerline moves.

Bevorzugt ist die Mittelinie des Zugglieds in der Richtung versetzt gegenüber der Mittellinie der Gardinenstange angeordnet, in die sich die Gardinenstange unter Einfluß ihres Gewichts und /oder ihrer Belastung durchbiegt.Preferably, the centerline of the tension member is in the direction offset from the center line of the curtain rod arranged, in which the curtain rod under the influence of her Weight and / or its load bends.

Das Zugglied ist zweckmäßigerweise flexibel ausgebildet. Durch die flexible Ausbildung des Zugglieds kann die erfindungsgemäße Gardinenstange einfach, leicht und trotzdem stabil ausgebildet werden.The tension member is expediently flexible. Due to the flexible design of the tension member, the inventive Curtain rod simple, light and yet be formed stable.

Bevorzugte weitere Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen.Preferred further embodiments of the invention result from the further subclaims.

Zunächst zur Ausführungsform gemäß Figuren 1 und 2:First to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2:

Eine Gardinenstange 1 ist als Rohr ausgebildet. Im Zentrum des Rohres und umlaufend anliegend an die Innenwand 1c ist ein Einsatzstück 4 eingeschoben, das im wesentlichen massiv ausgebildet ist und eine durchgehende Längsnut 4b aufweist. Die Breite der Längsnut 4b entspricht dem Durchmesser eines als Seil ausgebildeten Zugglieds 3. Die Höhe der Nut 4b ändert sich über die Länge des Einsatzstücks 4. Im mittleren, nicht dargestellten Bereich des Einsatzstücks 4, der mit dem mittleren Bereich der Gardinenstange 1 zusammenfällt, hat die Längsnut 4b die geringste Höhe, während sie an den beiden Enden des Einsatzstücks 4, von dem in den Figuren 1 nur das rechte sichtbar ist, die größte Höhe aufweist. Der Nutgrund der Längsnut 4b bildet eine Anlagefläche für das Zugglied 3. Abgesehen von den Endbereichen verläuft der als Anlagefläche 4a dienende Nutgrund der Längsnut 4b nahezu über die gesamte Länge des Einsatzstücks 4 unterhalb der Längsmittellinie 1a der Gardinenstange 1.A curtain rod 1 is formed as a tube. Downtown of the tube and circumferentially adjacent to the inner wall 1c an insert 4 inserted, which is substantially solid is formed and has a continuous longitudinal groove 4b. The width of the longitudinal groove 4b corresponds to the diameter of a formed as a rope tension member 3. The height of the groove 4b changes over the length of the insert 4. In the middle, not shown area of the insert 4, with coincides with the middle region of the curtain rod 1, the longitudinal groove 4b has the lowest height while being against the both ends of the insert 4, of which in the figures 1 only the right one is visible, which has the highest height. Of the Slot bottom of the longitudinal groove 4b forms a contact surface for the Tension member 3. Apart from the end of the runs as Contact surface 4a serving groove bottom of the longitudinal groove 4b almost over the entire length of the insert 4 below the Longitudinal center line 1a of the curtain rod 1.

Das Zugglied 3, welches beispielsweise ein Metallseil sein kann, verläuft bis in ein Spannelement 5. Der Verlauf wird durch eine Stellschraube 6 bestimmt, über die das Zugelement 3 in einer Nut 5d geführt wird, deren Breite etwa der Breite des Zugglieds 3 entspricht. Das Zugglied 3 wird hinter der Stellschraube 6 wieder nach unten geführt, und zwar in eine konzentrisch zur Achse 1a sowohl der Gardinenstange 1 als auch des Spannelements 5 verlaufenden Zentralbohrung 5c. In der Zentralbohrung 5c des Spannelements 5 wird das Ende des Zugglieds 3 mit Hilfe von radial einwärts weisenden Madenschrauben 7, 8 und 9 festgeklemmt.The tension member 3, which may be a metal cable, for example can, runs into a clamping element 5. The course is determined by a screw 6, via which the tension element 3 is guided in a groove 5 d, whose width is about the Width of the tension member 3 corresponds. The tension member 3 is behind the set screw 6 again led down, and indeed in a concentric with the axis 1a of both the curtain rod 1 and the clamping element 5 extending central bore 5c. In the central bore 5 c of the clamping element 5 is the End of the tension member 3 by means of radially inwardly facing Grub screws 7, 8 and 9 clamped.

Bei Figuren 1 verläuft die Mittelachse 3a bogenförmig, beispielsweise entlang einer hyperbolischen Funktion. 'Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figuren 3 verläuft die Mittelachse 3a des Zugglieds 3 im mittleren Bereich des Einsatzes 4' vollständig gerade und benachbart zur unten liegenden Innenwand der Gardinenstange 1. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figuren 4 verläuft die Mittelachse 3a' des Zugglieds 3' über die gesamte Länge des Einsatzes 4" gerade und parallel zur Mittelachse 1a der Gardinenstange 1.In all three embodiments is in the middle range the inserts the central axis of the tension member against the Center axis 1a of the curtain rod 1 offset down. In Figure 1, the central axis 3a extends arcuately, for example along a hyperbolic function. 'In the Embodiment according to Figure 3, the central axis 3a extends of the tension member 3 in the central region of the insert 4 'completely straight and adjacent to the underlying inner wall Curtain rod 1. In the embodiment according to figures 4, the central axis 3a 'of the tension member 3' extends over the entire length of the insert 4 "straight and parallel to the central axis 1a of the curtain rod 1.

Entscheidend für die Wirkung der verschiedenen Lösungen ist in allen Fällen der nach unten - also in die Richtung der Durchbiegung unter dem Einfluß von Eigengewicht und Last - erfolgte Versatz des Zugglieds 3 bzw. 3' in Verbindung mit der Hebelwirkung, die von dem gespannten Zugglied auf die Einsätze 4 bzw. 4' bzw. 4" ausgeübt und über die Abstützung des Einsatzes an den oben liegenden Innenwandbereich 1b übertragen wird.Crucial for the effect of the different solutions is in all cases the down - ie in the direction of Deflection under the influence of dead weight and load made offset of the tension member 3 or 3 'in conjunction with the leverage of the tensioned tension member on the Inserts 4 or 4 'and 4 "exercised and on the support the insert to the overhead inner wall portion 1b is transmitted.

Aus Figuren 5 und 6 ist noch eine weitere Spannmöglichkeit der Gardinenstange ersichtlich. Figur 5 zeigt eine Grundplatte 17' eines Halters, die mittels vier Befestigungsschrauben 12 an wandfeste Öffnungen, beispielsweise Dübel angeschraubt ist. In der Grundplatte 17' befindet sich ein in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 18 längsverschieblich in der Grundplatte 17' geführtes Halteelement 19. Das Halteelement 19 weist an seiner Vorderseite drei Senklöcher 19a auf. In diese Senklöcher 19a können nicht sichtbare Zapfen des Stegs 2e eingreifen, der die Abdeckplatte 2d durchsetzt. Der Steg 2e ist fest mit der Hülse 2' verbunden. Die nicht dargestellten Zapfen des Stegs 2e, die sich auf der Rückseite der Abdeckplatte 2d befinden, sind so angeordnet, daß sie in die Zapfenlöcher 19a formschlüssig eingreifen. Der Steg 2e wird mit dem Halteelement 19 in der Eingriffslage der Zapfen in die Zapfenlöcher 19a gehalten, indem die Befestigungsschrauben 15 und 16, welche die Grundplatte 17' quer durchsetzen, angezogen werden.From Figures 5 and 6 is still another possible clamping the curtain rod visible. FIG. 5 shows a base plate 17 'of a holder, by means of four fixing screws 12 to wall-fixed openings, such as dowels screwed on. In the base plate 17 'is a in the direction of the double arrow 18 longitudinally displaceable in the Base plate 17 'guided holding element 19. The holding element 19 has on its front three countersunk holes 19a. In These countersunk holes 19 a can not visible pin of the Bridge 2e engage, which passes through the cover plate 2d. The web 2e is firmly connected to the sleeve 2 '. Not illustrated pin of the bridge 2e, located on the back the cover plate 2d are arranged so that they engage positively in the pin holes 19a. Of the Web 2e is connected to the holding element 19 in the engaged position the pin held in the pin holes 19a by the fastening screws 15 and 16, which the base plate 17 ' transversely enforce, be attracted.

Mit Hilfe der Schraube 14 kann das Halteelement 19 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 18 - je nach Drehrichtung - bewegt werden. Dabei werden der Steg 2e, die Abdeckplatte 2d und die Hülse 2' mitgenommen. Die Hülse 2' ist mittels Klemmschrauben 20 fest mit der Gardinenstange 1 verbindbar.With the help of the screw 14, the holding member 19 in the direction of the double arrow 18 - depending on the direction of rotation - moves become. In this case, the web 2e, the cover plate 2d and taken the sleeve 2 '. The sleeve 2 'is by means of clamping screws 20 firmly connected to the curtain rod 1.

Die erläuterte Konstruktion des Halters ermöglicht also durch Verdrehen der Schraube 14 das Aufbringen einer zusätzlichen Spannung mit der Folge, daß der Verlauf der in sich vorgespannten Gardinenstange sehr weitgehend einem idealen geradlinigen Verlauf angepaßt werden kann.The illustrated construction of the holder thus allows by turning the screw 14, the application of an additional Tension with the consequence that the course of in prestressed curtain rod very largely one ideal rectilinear course can be adjusted.
