Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Abdeckung eines Fensters nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.
Derartige Vorrichtungen werden einerseits als Licht- und Sichtschutz sowie zur Einbruchshemmung vor Fenstern und andererseits zur Verschönerung von Gebäudefassaden eingesetzt.The invention relates to a device for covering a window according to the preamble of claim 1.
Such devices are used on the one hand as light and privacy protection and burglar resistance in front of windows and on the other hand for beautification of building facades.

Das manuelle Öffnen und Schließen von Fensterläden bereitet seit jeher Probleme und benötigt Zeit. Die bisherigen Lösungen zur Automatisierung nehmen keine oder nur wenig Rücksicht auf den ästhetischen Eindruck einer Gebäudefassade.Manually opening and closing shutters has always been a problem and takes time. The previous solutions for automation take little or no account of the aesthetic impression of a building facade.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Abdeckung eines Fensters besteht üblicherweise aus einem rechten und einem linken Fensterladen. Dabei sind die Fensterläden so angebracht, dass einerseits in einer geschlossenen Stellung die Fläche des Fensters maximal abgedeckt und andererseits in einer offenen Stellung maximal freigegeben wird. Zum Wechseln zwischen der offenen und der geschlossenen Stellung können die Fensterläden geschwenkt oder verschoben werden.
Die Bedienung handbetätigter schwenkbarer Fensterläden ist sehr aufwendig, weil sich der Bediener dazu aus dem Fenster lehnen muss. Handbetätigte oder angetriebene Vorrichtungen zum Schwenken eines Fensterladens sind entweder in der offenen, der geschlossenen oder in beiden Stellungen des Fensterladens sichtbar, was sehr nachteilig ist.
Es sind schiebbare Fensterläden bekannt, die entweder von Hand oder mittels Antrieb betätigbar sind. Solche Fensterläden sind in der Regel hängend, seltener stehend ausgeführt, siehe hierzu DE 16 83 173 A, DE 33 20 736 A oder FR 2 459 355 A. In der DE 299 13 386 U ist eine Abdeckung für ein Fenster, eine Tür und der-gleichen vorgestellt worden, die wenigstens einen Fensterladen aufweist, der aus der geschlossenen in die offene Stellung überführbar ist. Die Überführung des Fensterladens von der einen in die andere Stellung erfolgt dabei von Hand. Der Fensterladen weist in seinem oberen Bereich Rollen auf, die im Eingriff mit einem horizontal über dem Fenster angeordneten Führungselement stehen, so dass der Fensterladen parallel zur Fassade des Gebäudes abrollt. Der Fensterladen ist zudem mittels eines Sicherungselementes festlegbar. Das Sicherungselement besteht dabei zum einen aus einem über ein Drehlager an dem Fensterladen angebrachten Verriegelungsstab und zum anderen aus einem in der Wand des Gebäudes verankerten Fixierelementes. Der Sicherungsstab kann mit dem Fixierelement in einer bestimmten Stellung des Sicherungsstabes in Eingriff gebracht werden, so dass der Fensterladen im Bereich des Fixierelementes eine punktförmige zweite Führung erhält. Der Verriegelungsstab dient gleichzeitig als Haltegriff zum Schieben des Fensterladens.
Hauptnachteil dieser Lösung ist, dass die Führung oberhalb des Fensters sichtbar angebracht ist. Dies führt zu einer Beeinträchtigung desAussehens der Fassade des Gebäudes. Besonders für ältere denkmalgeschützte Gebäude ist die Anbringung einer derartigen Führungsschiene deshalb nicht empfehlenswert. Aber auch an neueren Gebäuden erinnert die oberhalb der Fenster sichtbare Führungsschiene mit dem an Rollen aufgehängten Fensterladen an Hof- und Stalltüren von Bauernhöfen. Dort zweckmäßig eingesetzt, werden solche Führungselemente an einer Gebäudefassade als störend empfunden.
Um eine Leichtgängigkeit der Führung zu gewährleisten, weisen die Rollen, an denen der Fensterladen hängt, eine Kugellagerung auf. Dadurch sind die Rollen großbauend, was der Fassade des Gebäudes gleichfalls abträglich ist.
Da die vorgestellte Lösung keine durchgehende untere Führung aufweist, hängt der Fensterladen durch sein Gewicht bedingt. Dabei hängt der Fensterladen sicherer, je höher sein Gewicht ist. Ein hohes Gewicht ist allerdings für die Bedienung sehr nachteilig, weil dabei große Kräfte zur Überwindung der Trägheit des Fensterladens aufgebracht werden müssen. In einem Fertigungsprozess lassen sich zudem schwere Fensterläden nur mit erhöhtem Aufwand handhaben. Bedingt durch ein hohes Gewicht der Fensterläden muss auch die Führungsschiene entsprechend größer dimensioniert werden. Dies wirkt sich nachteilig auf deren Kosten und auf die Handhabung beim Anbau an ein Fenster auf.A device for covering a window usually consists of a right and a left shutter. The shutters are mounted so that on the one hand in a closed position, the surface of the window is maximally covered and on the other hand released in an open position maximum. To switch between the open and closed positions, the shutters can be pivoted or moved.
The operation of manually operated hinged shutters is very expensive because the operator has to lean out of the window. Hand-operated or powered devices for pivoting a shutter are visible in either the open, closed or both positions of the shutter, which is very disadvantageous.
Sliding shutters are known which can be actuated either manually or by means of a drive. Such shutters are usually hanging, rarely standing executed, see DE 16 83 173 A, DE 33 20 736 A or FR 2 459 355 A. In DE 299 13 386 U is a cover for a window, a door and the -gleichen has been presented, which has at least one shutter, which is convertible from the closed to the open position. The transfer of the shutter from one to the other position is done by hand. The shutter has in its upper part on rollers, which are in engagement with a horizontal guide member arranged above the window, so that the shutter rolls parallel to the facade of the building. The shutter is also determined by means of a fuse element. The fuse element consists on the one hand of a mounted on a pivot bearing on the shutter lock rod and on the other hand from an anchored in the wall of the building fixing. The securing rod can be brought into engagement with the fixing element in a specific position of the securing rod, so that the shutter in the region of the fixing element receives a point-shaped second guide. The locking bar also serves as a handle for sliding the shutter.
The main disadvantage of this solution is that the guide is visible above the window. This leads to a deterioration of the appearance of the facade of the building. Especially for older listed buildings, the attachment of such a guide rail is therefore not recommended. But also on newer buildings, the guide rail, visible above the windows, with the shutter hung on rollers reminds of courtyard and stable doors of farms. Used there appropriately, such guide elements on a building facade are distracting.
In order to ensure a smooth running of the guide, have the roles that hang the shutter on a ball bearing. As a result, the roles are building large, which is also detrimental to the facade of the building.
Since the solution presented has no continuous lower guide, the shutter depends on its weight. The shutter is safer, the higher its weight. However, a high weight is very disadvantageous for the operation, because it requires large forces to overcome the inertia of the shutter must be applied. In a manufacturing process can also be heavy shutters handle only with increased effort. Due to the high weight of the shutters, the guide rail must be dimensioned correspondingly larger. This has a detrimental effect on their costs and on handling when mounted on a window.

Die vorgeschlagene Vorrichtung ist nur von Hand betätigbar und somit für eine automatische Betätigung der Fensterläden, beispielsweise bei Abwesenheit durch Urlaub oder Krankheit ungeeignet.The proposed device is only manually operable and thus unsuitable for automatic operation of the shutters, for example, in the absence of vacation or illness.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine gattungsmäßige Vorrichtung zur Abdeckung eines Fensters zu entwickeln, bei der die Führungselemente des Fensterladens die Fassade des Gebäudes in ihrer Ansicht nicht beeinträchtigen und dadurch bedarfsweise auch die Anforderungen des Denkmalschutzes erfüllen.The invention is therefore based on the object to develop a generic device for covering a window, in which the guide elements of the shutter does not affect the facade of the building in their view and thereby, if necessary, meet the requirements of monument protection.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckdienliche Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 und 3.This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Expedient refinements emerge from the subclaims 2 and 3.

Die erfindungsmäßige Vorrichtung zur Abdeckung eines Fensters beseitigt die genannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik. Durch die spezielle Anordnung und Ausführung der Führungselemente zwischen Wand und Fensterladen, sind die Führungselemente von außen nicht sichtbar. Der ästhetische Eindruck der Gebäudefassade bleibt somit voll erhalten. Damit eignen sich derartige Fensterläden gleichermaßen für Gebäude mit einem hohen ästhetischen wie technischem Anspruch. Derartige Fensterläden können zudem einen Beitrag zur Erhaltung denkmalgeschützter Gebäudefassaden leisten.
Von Vorteil ist, wenn der obere Führungsschlitten und der untere Führungsschlitten mit einer Antriebseinheit verbunden sind und jeder der Führungsschlitten über eine Einrichtung zur Übertragung eines an einer Antriebswelle der Antriebseinheit bereitstellten Drehmomentes auf die jeweilige Führungsschiene verfügt, weil dadurch ein Auf- und Zuschieben der Fensterläden von Hand vermieden wird. Dies stellt eine Komforterhöhung bei der Bedienung derartiger Fensterläden dar.The inventive device for covering a window eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art. Due to the special arrangement and design of the guide elements between wall and shutter, the guide elements are not visible from the outside. The aesthetic impression of the building facade thus remains fully intact. Thus, such shutters are equally suitable for buildings with a high aesthetic and technical standards. Such shutters can also contribute to the preservation of listed building facades.
It is advantageous if the upper guide carriage and the lower guide carriage are connected to a drive unit and each of the guide carriages has a device for transmitting a torque provided on a drive shaft of the drive unit to the respective guide rail, since this causes the shutters to open and shut Hand is avoided. This represents a comfort increase in the operation of such shutters.

Dabei ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn die Antriebseinheit jeweils zwischen den Führungsschlitten angeordnet ist und sowohl die Führungsschlitten als auch die Antriebseinheit so flach ausgeführt sind, so dass der Fensterladen während der Bewegung von der offenen in die geschlossene Position darüber hinweggleiten kann. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass die Antriebseinheit von außen nicht sichtbar ist und somit der ästhetische Eindruck der Gebäudefassade erhalten bleibt.It is particularly advantageous if the drive unit is in each case arranged between the guide carriages and both the guide carriages and the drive unit are made so flat that the shutter can slide over it during the movement from the open to the closed position. This ensures that the drive unit is not visible from the outside and thus preserves the aesthetic impression of the building facade.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Abdeckung eines Fensters besteht gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 aus einem rechten Fensterladen 1 und einem linken Fensterladen 1', die jeweils eine obere Führung 2, 2' und eine untere Führung 3, 3' aufweisen, wobei die obere Führung 2, 2' und die untere Führung 3, 3' mittels einer Antriebswelle 4, 4' einer Antriebseinheit 5, 5' verbunden sind sowie je ein Sicherungselement 6, 6'.The device according to the invention for covering a window according to FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a right shutter 1 and a left shutter 1 ', each having an upper guide 2, 2' and a lower guide 3, 3 ', wherein the upper guide , 2 'and the lower guide 3, 3' by means of a drive shaft 4, 4 'of a drive unit 5, 5' are connected and a respective fuse element 6, 6 '.

Die Fensterläden 1, 1' sind dabei so angeordnet, dass einerseits in einer geschlossenen Stellung die Fläche des Fensters maximal abgedeckt und andererseits in einer offenen Stellung maximal freigegeben wird. Der Aufbau des rechten Fensterladens 1 entspricht dem Aufbau des linken Fensterladens 1'. Zur Vereinfachung wird nunmehr nur der rechte Fensterladen 1 betrachtet.The shutters 1, 1 'are arranged so that on the one hand in a closed position, the surface of the window is maximally covered and on the other hand, the maximum released in an open position. The structure of the right shutter 1 corresponds to the structure of the left shutter 1 '. For simplicity, only the right shutter 1 will be considered.

Der Fensterladen 1 besteht dabei aus einem rechteckigen Rahmen 7 aus zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Streben und aus einer in dem Rahmen 7 eingepassten Abdeckung 8. Das Material des Rahmens 7 besteht beispielsweise aus Aluminium. Die Abdeckung 8 ist mit verstellbaren Lamellen ausgeführt. Dem Fachmann steht es dabei frei, sowohl das Material des Rahmens 7 als auch die Art der Abdeckung 8 bedarfsgerecht anzupassen. Der Fensterladen 1 weist auf seiner Rückseite eine in der vertikalen Strebe des Rahmens 7, die am weitesten von dem Fenster beabstandet ist, eine mittig angeordnete Aufnahme 9 auf. Die Form der Aufnahme 9 ist dabei auf ein Einschieben des fest in der Wand verankerten Sicherungselementes 6 abgestimmt.The shutter 1 consists of a rectangular frame 7 of two horizontal and two vertical struts and from a fitted in the frame 7 cover 8. The material of the frame 7 is for example made of aluminum. The cover 8 is designed with adjustable blades. The person skilled in the art is free to adapt both the material of the frame 7 and the type of cover 8 as needed. The shutter 1 has on its rear side in the vertical strut of the frame 7, which is furthest from the window, a centrally located receptacle 9. The shape of the receptacle 9 is tuned to an insertion of the anchored firmly in the wall securing element 6.

Sowohl die obere Führung 3 als auch die untere Führung 4 weisen jeweils eine Führungsschiene 10, 10' und einen Führungsschlitten 11,11' auf. Dabei sind die Führungsschienen 10, 10' L-profiliert ausgeführt. Jeweils ein Schenkel des L-Profil der Führungsschienen 10, 10' sind parallel zur Wand ausgerichtet, von dieser beabstandet und einander zugewandt, die anderen Schenkel stehen senkrecht zur Wand und nehmen zwischen sich die horizontalen Streben des Rahmens 7 des Fensterladens 1 auf. Die Führungsschienen 10, 10' erstrecken sich dabei über die gesamte Breite des Fensterladens 1. Die Führungsschlitten 11, 11' sind seitlich des Fensters, minimal von diesem beabstandet, jedoch mit einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet und fest mit der Wand verbunden. Der Abstand des oberen Führungsschlittens 11 zu dem unteren Führungsschlitten 11' ist dabei auf den Abstand der Führungsschienen 10, 10' abgestimmt.Both the upper guide 3 and the lower guide 4 each have a guide rail 10, 10 'and a guide carriage 11,11' on. The guide rails 10, 10 'L-profiled executed. In each case one leg of the L-profile of the guide rails 10, 10 'are aligned parallel to the wall, spaced therefrom and facing each other, the other legs are perpendicular to the wall and take between them the horizontal struts of the frame 7 of the shutter 1. The guide rails 10, 10 'extend over the entire width of the shutter 1. The guide slides 11, 11' are the side of the window, minimally spaced therefrom, but arranged at a distance from each other and fixedly connected to the wall.
