It is also possible to provide the panels between the wall and a glass outer surface as shown in figure 6 . Another possibility is to arrange the panels on the side of the wall facing the interior of the building (not shown).
  • the frame 1 of the wall panel comprises an upper horizontal portion 1' and vertical side portions 1" which portions are made at least partially hollow in order to accommodate various functional components of the system to be described in the following.
  • the panel as a whole is slidably mounted on an appropriate system of guide rails 13 ( Figure 7b ) enabling the panel to be displaced a sudden distance over for instance a facade of a building.

  • the rail 13 and appropriate guide means for the rollers 40 are - together with a drive motor 27 and corresponding drive means 28, 29 and 30 - located within a suitable housing 41, which can be attached to the facade of the building.
  • the roller 40 is confined within a longitudinally extending guide channel 43, so that the roller 40 is in abutment with an abutment surface 44 formed by one vertical wall of the guide channel 43.
  • the panel is furthermore prevented from swinging outwards from the facade of the building due to for instance the influence of wind forces by the other vertical wall of the guide channel 43, in the Figure referred to as the outer retaining surface 45 of the guide channel 43.
  • the guide channel 43 containing the roller 40 is shown enlarged in Figure 7c .
  • the horizontal displacement (as indicated by the arrow D in Figure 1 ) is accomplished by means of a drive motor 27, which via suitable drive and chain wheels 29, 30 drives a chain 28.
  • This chain 28 is connected to a pivotable arm 32 via attachment means 31, which may also serve as a chain tightening means known per se.
  • the arm 32 is pivotally mounted about a vertical pivot axis 33 attached to the upper portion 1' of the frame 1.
  • a wire 34 is attached to the arm 32 at a point in the vicinity of that end of the arm 32 that is housed within the upper portion 1' of the frame 1.
  • the wire 34 passes over a wheel 35 and down into the hollow interior of one of the side portions 1" of the frame 1, where it is attached to the upper end of a vertically displaceable bar 36.
  • the frame is in the vertical direction provided with a number of horizontal vanes 8 pivotable positioned on corresponding longitudinal shafts 14 and at one longitudinal end provided with cranks 37, the other end of which are pivotable connected to said vertically disposed displaceable bar 36.
  • a vertical displacement of the bar 36 makes the vanes tilt within predetermined angular limits.
  • the range of tilt angel of the vanes with respect to the horizontal orientation of the vanes will be limited to - 90 degrees ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ + 90 degrees in order to avoid a dead point from which point it will not be possible to tilt the vanes by displacement of the bar 36.
  • the lower end of the displaceable bar 36 is coupled to the lower portion of the frame by means of a tension spring 38.
  • cranks 37 and displaceable bar 36 shown in Figure 7a could also be replaced by a rack and pinion system by replacement of the cranks 37 with gear wheels and the bar 36 with a corresponding rack in engagement with the gear wheels.
  • the function of the displaceable wall panel according to the invention can be described by the following example, where the panel initially is positioned beside a window, which is to be covered by the panel, i.e. the window is located immediately to the right of the panel as depicted in Figure 7a .
  • the motor 27 is activated, whereby the chain 28 rotates in the direction indicated by arrow C and thereby displacing the arm 32 translationally.
  • the translational displacement of the arm 32 causes a corresponding displacement of the panel, and this displacement continues until a mechanical stop (not shown) is reached, whereby a further displacement of the panel is prevented.
  • the end of the arm 32 housed within the upper portion 1' of the frame 1 has been located at the position A in Figure 7a , and throughout this displacement the vanes 8 have remained tilted at the angle ⁇ relative to the horizontal.
  • the chain 28 continues to rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow C, whereby the arm 32 pivots about its vertical axis 33.
  • This rotation of the arm 32 causes the attachment point of the arm with the wire 34 to be shifted from the position A relative to the frame, in which position it has remained throughout the displacement of the panel as described above, towards the position B relative to the frame.
  • the rotation of the arm 32 about its pivot axis 33 causes the wire 34 to raise the bar 36 against the force exerted by the tension spring 38, thus causing the vanes 8 to undergo a certain rotation about their longitudinal axes 14. If the motor 27 is stopped, the vanes 8 remain at this angular position.
  • the angular position of the vanes 8 can be adjusted within limits that as previously mentioned must be kept within -90 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 90 degrees. In practice, limits somewhat less than +/- 90 degrees, for instance +/- 80 degrees should be chosen. This can for instance be accomplished by means of suitably positioned mechanical stops within the upper horizontal portion 1' of the frame limiting the rotation of the arm 32 about its pivot axis 33 although other means for limiting ⁇ may also be conceived.
  • the sense of rotation of the drive shaft of the motor 27 is reversed compared to the initial sense of rotation, whereby the vanes gradually resumes their original angular orientation, e.g. approximately +80 degrees, corresponding to the end of the arm 32 resuming its position A in the upper portion 1' of the frame 1, whereafter a further movement of the chain in the direction opposite to the arrow C will result in the panel being displaced away from the window, finally resuming its original position beside the window.
  • FIG. 8 there is shown a third embodiment of the displaceable wall panel according to the invention.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 8 corresponds to the one shown in Figure 7a and 7b except that the vanes 8 have been oriented vertically about vertical shafts 14 rotatably attached to the upper and lower portions of the frame 1.
  • This orientation of the vanes 8 may advantageously be used for instance in situations where disturbing light reflections for instance from neighbouring buildings are to be blocked out.
  • the alternative orientation of the vanes 8 as compared with the orientation in Figure 7 may provide desirable aesthetic effects, either by using the panels according to this alternative embodiment on their own or through appropriate combinations with the panels according to the first embodiment shown in Figure 7 .
  • the range of tilt angel of the vanes with respect to the horizontal orientation of the vanes will in practice be limited to - 90 degrees ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 90 degrees in order to avoid a dead point, from which point it will not be possible to rotate the vanes by displacement of the bar 36.
  • This problem is solved by the fourth embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 9 .
  • the vanes 8 are positioned in the frame 1 along horizontally oriented shafts 14 and these shafts are interconnected for simultaneous rotation via cranks 37 pivotally connected to a vertically displaceable bar 36 in principle in the same manner as in the above second embodiment of the invention.
  • the wire from the first pivotable arm 32 is not connected directly to said displaceable bar 36 but instead to a tilt-wheel 42 provided on one end of the shaft 14 of one of the vanes 8.
  • the tilt-wheel 42 is provided on the end of the shaft 14 opposite the end where the shaft is connected to the bar 36 by means of the crank 37, but the tilt-wheel 42 could in principle also be provided at the same end of the shaft 14 as the crank 37.
  • the wire 34 is according to this embodiment of the invention wound around the tilt-wheel 42 at least once and the distal end of the wire relative to the pivotable arm 32 is provided with a biasing means 38, which in practice could be a tension spring as shown in Figure 9 .
  • the tilt of the vanes is not limited to - 90 degrees ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 90 degrees as in the first two embodiments.
  • the maximal cross-sectional extension of the vanes and the distance between their individual shafts are chosen properly, it is possible according to this third embodiment of the invention to rotate the vanes a full 360 degrees and even more about their longitudinal axis.
  • By proper dimensioning of the system of vanes 8 and their relative positioning in the frame 1 it is possible according to this embodiment practically to prevent light from outside to penetrate the system of vanes and reach the inside of the building and vice versa.
  • different aesthetic effects may be obtained by rotating the vanes more that 180 degrees about their longitudinal axes, thus exposing opposite sides of the vanes.
  • the fourth embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 9 only comprises a single tilt wheel 42, it would in practice of cause be possible to provide more than one of the shafts 14 of the vanes 8 with tilt wheels if it is for instance found that slippage between the wire 34 and the tilt wheel 42 causes problems in a practical implementation of the drive system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 10a there is shown a system comprising four windows 4 and associated displaceable panels 6, where each of the windows 4 by the provision of appropriate drive means as described in the preceding sections can be covered by the corresponding panel.
  • the four windows are placed immediately adjacent each other, but the windows could of cause also be positioned at a certain distance - both horizontally and vertically - from each other with the panels in their non-covering positions placed between the windows.
  • a panel of twice the height or width of the windows could de used, thus making it possible to cover for example the four windows shown in the Figure with the aid of only two panels.
  • two adjacent windows could also be covered by two corresponding adjacently positioned panels, which are moved together by a common drive mechanism.
  • the drive mechanism could for instance also be provided with two separate motors M1 and M2, for instance located at opposite ends of the drive chain, if one motor is insufficient to drive the combined system of panels.
  • the windows may not necessarily by positioned immediately adjacent each other, but could be positioned at a certain distance d from each other, provided a correspondent distance is provided between the corresponding panels.
  • a number of such stops may be provided along the displacement path of the panel, and these stops can be made remote controllable to increase the flexibility of the system. It is also possible to provide these stops with suitable lock mechanisms so that it will not be possible from outside to remove the panel from the window.
  • the panel may thus also serve as a protection against theft.
