Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge und dergleichen translatorisch bewegbarer und/oder aufrollbarer Roll- oder Schiebeelemente von insbesondere Möbeln, wobei die Möbel kastenförmig ausgebildet sind und einander gegenüberliegende Korpusseiten aufweisen, wobei die Jalousiezüge, die aus nebeneinander angeordneten Profilen, Stäben, Leisten und dergleichen bestehen, beweglich in in den einander gegenüberliegenden Korpusseiten eingebrachten Nuten bzw. Führungselementen geführt sind und einem Bremskörper.The invention relates to a braking device for blinds and the like in translation movable and / or rollable rolling or sliding elements in particular Furniture, the furniture being box-shaped and opposite one another Body sides have, the blinds pulling out side by side arranged profiles, bars, strips and the like exist, movable in grooves or in the opposite sides of the body Guide elements are guided and a brake body.

Derartige Jalousiezüge werden in Einrichtungsgegenständen, insbesondere von Möbeln, eingesetzt, wobei diese auch als Rollschränke bezeichnet werden. Rollschränke haben den Vorteil, dass sie hinsichtlich des Platzbedarfes sehr vorteilhaft sind. Sie nehmen den gleichen Platz bzw. Volumen in Anspruch, unabhängig davon, ob sie geöffnet oder geschlossen sind. Derartige Rollschränke sind im Allgemeinen so ausgeführt, dass an den vertikalen oder auch horizontalen Korpusseiten Nuten ausgebildet sind, in denen sich die Jalousiezüge bewegen können und zwar derart, dass sie sich vorzugsweise auf- bzw. abwärts bewegen. Die Jalousiezüge aus dem bekannten Stand der Technik werden üblicherweise aus Profilen, Stäben, Leisten oder Ähnlichem gebildet, wobei diese beispielsweise rückseitig an einem einheitlichen Stoff oder an einer ähnlichen Bahn befestigt sind oder aber auch über Verbindungselemente miteinander direkt verbindbar sind.Such blinds are used in furnishings, especially furniture, used, which are also referred to as roller cabinets. roll cabinets have the advantage that they are very advantageous in terms of space requirements. she take up the same space or volume, regardless of whether they are open or closed. Such roller cabinets are generally designed so that grooves are formed on the vertical or horizontal body sides are in which the blinds can move in such a way that they preferably move up or down. The blinds from the well-known State of the art are usually made of profiles, bars, strips or the like formed, these for example on the back of a uniform fabric or are attached to a similar track or via connecting elements are directly connectable to each other.

Jalousiezüge und die mit ihnen korrespondierenden Nuten bzw. Führungselemente müssen so ausgebildet sein, dass zum einen die Nuten bzw. Führungselemente so breit ausgeführt sind, dass die Jalousiezüge darin leicht und ohne Kraftaufwand bewegbar sind. Andererseits dürfen die Jalousiezüge in den Nuten bzw. Führungselementen nicht zu leicht bewegbar sein, da diese sonst beispielsweise bei der Abwärtsbewegung auf die Finger des Nutzers fallen können und so zu Verletzungen führen. Blinds and the corresponding grooves or guide elements must be designed so that the grooves or guide elements are wide, so that the blinds can be moved easily and without effort are. On the other hand, the blind pulls are allowed in the grooves or guide elements not be too easy to move, otherwise they will move downward, for example can fall on the user's fingers and cause injuries.

Jalousiezüge haben beispielweise bei Rollschränken, in denen die Bewegung vertikal erfolgt, den Nachteil, dass diese sich beim Öffnen bzw. Schließen ungebremst bewegen können, wodurch beim Benutzer ein gewisses Verletzungsrisiko entstehen kann.Blinds have, for example, in roller cabinets, in which the movement is vertical takes place, the disadvantage that they move without braking when opening or closing can, which can create a certain risk of injury to the user.

Um diese Nachteile zu beseitigen, ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, im hinteren Teil von Schrank und Jalousiezug ein Federsystem einzubringen. Mit diesem Federsystem kann erreicht werden, dass der Jalousiezug leicht in der Nut bzw. Führungselement bewegbar ist, ohne sich von selbst zu bewegen, wenn der Nutzer diesen nicht mehr berührt. Der Nachteil dieser Lösung besteht darin, dass einerseits das Federsystem sehr kompliziert aufgebaut und damit sehr aufwändig montierbar ist und andererseits das nutzbare Volumen des Schrankes reduziert wird, da eine zusätzliche Rückwand erforderlich ist, hinter der dieses Federsystem befestigt werden muss.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Nuten bzw. Führungselemente relativ breit auszuführen, um die Beweglichkeit der Jalousiezüge zu gewährleisten, aber in der Nut bzw. dem Führungselement einen zusätzlichen Stoff einzubringen, wie z.B. einen Kunststoffstreifen, der die Bewegung der Jalousiezüge bremsen soll.
Es wurde weiterhin vorgeschlagen, an bestimmten Profilen, Stäben, Leisten und dergleichen der Jalousiezüge Reibungszapfen anzubringen, die in den Nuten bzw. Führungselementen mitlaufen und die Bewegung der Jalousiezüge bremsen.
In der Funktionsfähigkeit und auch in der Wirtschaftlichkeit dieser Lösungen treten jedoch erhebliche Nachteile und Probleme auf.In order to eliminate these disadvantages, it has already been proposed to introduce a spring system in the rear part of the cabinet and the blind pull. With this spring system it can be achieved that the shutter pull can be easily moved in the groove or guide element without moving by itself when the user no longer touches it. The disadvantage of this solution is that, on the one hand, the spring system has a very complicated structure and is therefore very difficult to assemble, and, on the other hand, the usable volume of the cabinet is reduced, since an additional rear wall is required, behind which this spring system must be attached.
Another possibility is to make the grooves or guide elements relatively wide in order to ensure the mobility of the blind pulls, but to introduce an additional material in the groove or the guide element, such as a plastic strip, which is intended to brake the movement of the blind pulls.
It has also been proposed to attach friction pins to certain profiles, bars, strips and the like of the Venetian blinds, which run in the grooves or guide elements and brake the movement of the Venetian blinds.
However, there are considerable disadvantages and problems in the functionality and also the economy of these solutions.

Bremsvorrichtungen für Jalousiezüge der eingangs beschriebenen Art bestehen herkömmlicherweise aus an den Enden von Jalousiezügen befestigten Seilzügen, die ihrerseits mit einem eine Drehfeder und einen Arretierkörper aufweisenden Feststelloder Bremskörper verbunden sind, der sich vorzugsweise im Inneren des Schrankes im hinteren Bereich quer durch diesen erstreckt.
Diese Bremsvorrichtungen sind jedoch bei Reparaturen nur sehr schwer und umständlich zugänglich, so dass am Möbel selbst erhebliche Vorarbeiten auszuführen sind, um mögliche defekte Teile der Bremsvorrichtung auszutauschen bzw. diese zu reparieren. Braking devices for Venetian blinds of the type described at the outset traditionally consist of cables attached to the ends of Venetian blinds, which in turn are connected to a locking or braking body having a torsion spring and a locking body, which preferably extends transversely through the interior of the cabinet in the rear area thereof.
However, these brake devices are very difficult and cumbersome to access during repairs, so that considerable preparatory work has to be carried out on the furniture itself in order to replace or repair possible defective parts of the brake device.

Es wurden weiterhin als Bremsvorrichtungen federbelastete Rollen, die auf die Innenseiten der Jalousiezüge wirken, verwendet. Das durch eine Federkraft belastete und sich auf der Innenseite abstützende Element drückt die Außenfläche desJalousiezuges gegen die Außenkante der Nut bzw. des Führungselementes, um so eine die Bewegung der Jalousiezüge entgegenwirkende Reibungskraft zu erzeugen.
Diese Lösung hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass diese Bremsvorrichtung ständig im Eingriff zu den Jalousiezügen steht, so dass das Öffnen oder Schließen nur gegen die Überwindung der entgegenwirkenden Reibungskraft möglich ist. Eine Leichtgängigkeit, welche insbesondere bei sehr hohen Schränken erforderlich ist, ist durch diese Lösung somit nicht gegeben.Spring-loaded rollers, which act on the inside of the blinds, were 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 the guide element, so as to generate a frictional force which counteracts the movement of the blind pulls.
However, this solution has the disadvantage that this braking device is constantly in engagement with the blinds, so that opening or closing is only possible against the counteracting frictional force. This solution does not ensure smooth operation, which is particularly necessary with very tall cupboards.

Eine weitere Bremsvorrichtung, die auf Jalousiezüge wirkt, ist aus der DE 195 31 071 bekannt.
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 koppelbarem 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 positioniert. Wird der Jalousiezug geöffnet, wird die Bremsbacke durch den Betätigungskörper, beispielsweise einem Streifen aus einem elastischen Material, im Verlaufe der Öffnungsbewegung des Jalousiezuges automatisch in seine Freigabestellung überführt, so dass der Jalousiezug ohne Behinderungen durch den Bremskörper selbst in seine geöffnete Stellung gebracht werden kann. Derartige Bremsvorrichtungen sind jedoch konstruktiv sehr aufwändig herstellbar bzw. montierbar und dadurch entsprechend kostenintensiv. Ein weiterer Nachteil wird darin gesehen, dass es durch den an der Innenseite des Jalousiezuges reibenden Bremskörper zu optischen Beeinträchtigungen bzw. zu Schädigungen des Jalousiezuges führen kann.Another braking device which acts on blinds is known from DE 195 31 071.
The brake device described here consists of a brake body arranged in a housing, the brake body being designed as a movable brake shoe that can be moved from a braking operating position that locks in the braking direction by an actuating element that can be coupled to the Venetian blind, into a release position. Due to the movable arrangement of the brake body within the housing, it is automatically positioned in the braking position due to its own weight when the shutter pull is open. If the shutter pull is opened, the brake shoe is automatically moved into its release position by the actuating body, for example a strip made of an elastic material, in the course of the opening movement of the shutter pull, so that the shutter pull can itself be brought into its open position by the brake body without hindrance. However, such braking devices are structurally very complex to manufacture or assemble and are therefore correspondingly cost-intensive. Another disadvantage is seen in the fact that the brake body rubbing on the inside of the blind pull can lead to visual impairments or damage to the blind pull.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge zu schaffen, mit der die erläuterten, mit dem bekannten Stand der Technik verbundenen Nachteile beseitigt werden können, die mit einfachen baulichen Mittel hergestellt bzw. montiert werden kann und die einen geringen Kostenaufwand verursacht.The present invention is therefore based on the object of a braking device to create blinds with which the explained, with the known state The disadvantages associated with technology can be eliminated with simple structural Means can be manufactured or assembled and the low cost caused.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass im oberen Bereich der einander gegenüberliegenden Korpusseiten Aufnahmeelemente für den Jalousiezug und an den Korpusseiten eine Bremsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, wobei die Bremsvorrichtung aus einem an der Korpusseite befestigbaren, dehnbaren Element und einem an dem Jalousiezug angeordneten Halteelement besteht.According to the invention the object is achieved in that in the upper area of each other opposite body sides receiving elements for the blind pull and A braking device is arranged on the body sides, the braking device consisting of a stretchable element that can be attached to the body side and one the shutter pull arranged holding element.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den entsprechenden Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous refinements can be found in the corresponding subclaims remove.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge ist das dehnbare Element als Gummischnur mit an ihren freien Enden angeordneten Befestigungselementen ausgebildet, so dass diese vorteilhafterweise sehr einfach auch an sehr gut zugänglichen Stellen in dem Möbel anbringbar ist.In an advantageous embodiment of the braking device for blinds according to the invention is the stretchable element as a rubber cord with at its free ends arranged fasteners formed so that they advantageously very easy to attach in very accessible places in the furniture.

Es hat sich weiterhin als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass das verwendete Halteelement, welches wenigstens einen von seiner Grundfläche wegragenden bogenförmigen Haken aufweist, an dem Profil, Stab, Leiste oder dergleichen des Jalousiezuges angeordnet ist, welches bei durch den Jalousiezug geschlossenem Möbel der oberen Korpusseite beabstandet zugeordnet ist. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass das Halteelement an einem anderen Profil, Stab, Leiste oder dergl. des Jalousiezuges anbringbar ist, so dass die Bremsvorrichtung je nach der Höhe des Jalousiezuges bzw. des Schrankes dimensionierbar ist.It has also proven to be advantageous that the holding element used, which has at least one arcuate protruding from its base Has hooks on the profile, rod, bar or the like of the Venetian blind is arranged, which when the furniture is closed by the Venetian blind the upper Body side is assigned spaced. However, it is also within the scope of the invention that the holding element on another profile, rod, bar or the like Blind train is attachable, so that the braking device depending on the height of the Blinds or the cabinet is dimensionable.

Es konnte weiterhin überraschend festgestellt werden, dass an den Aufnahmeelementen, welche beispielsweise eine schneckenförmig ausgebildete Führungsschiene aufweisen, Befestigungselemente für das dehnbare Element anordenbar sind, die eine Funktionsfähigkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Bremsvorrichtung gewährleisten.It was also surprisingly found that on the receiving elements, which, for example, a helical guide rail have, fasteners for the expandable element can be arranged, the ensure the functionality of the braking device according to the invention.

Die Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Bremsvorrichtung werden in dem geräuscharmen Bremsvorgang, dem extrem geringen Montageaufwand und den geringen Kosten gesehen. Die erfindungsgemäße Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge ist auf Grund ihrer Dimensionierung sehr platzsparend in den entsprechenden Möbeln integrierbar, und kann auch jederzeit in bereits bestehende Schranksysteme nachträglich montiert werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Bremsvorrichtung kann durch das verwendete dehnbare Element sehr individuell den entsprechenden Schrankbreiten bzw. Schrankhöhen und damit dem Gewicht der Jalousiezüge angepasst werden.
Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung wird auf die Unteransprüche, die Zeichnungen sowie die nachfolgende Beschreibung verwiesen. In den Zeichnungen sind dargestellt:

The advantages of the braking device according to the invention are seen in the low-noise braking process, the extremely low installation effort and the low cost. The braking device according to the invention for Venetian blinds can be integrated into the corresponding furniture in a very space-saving manner due to its dimensions, and can also be retrofitted at any time into existing cabinet systems. The braking device according to the invention can be adapted very individually to the corresponding cabinet widths or cabinet heights and thus to the weight of the blind pulls by the stretchable element used.
To further explain the invention, reference is made to the subclaims, the drawings and the following description. The drawings show:

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer Innenansicht eines Rollladenschrankes, in dem der Jalousiezug 8 von seiner Rückseite sichtbar ist. Dieser Schrank kann beispielsweise als Küchenschrank, als Rollschrank unter einem Schreibtisch oder aber als normaler Büroschrank ausgeführt sein. Der Schrank besteht aus einander gegenüberliegenden Korpusseiten 2, von denen nur einer dargestellt ist, eine diese Korpusseiten 2 bedeckende Korpusseite 1 und einen nicht dargestellten Korpusboden. An der Korpusseite 2 sind im oberen Bereich des Schrankes Aufnahmeelemente 3 angebracht, die eine schneckenförmig ausgebildete Führungsschiene 31 aufweisen. Der Jalousiezug 8 wird beim Öffnen durch die Führungsschiene 31 des Aufnahmeelementes 3 kontrolliert geführt. Das Aufnahmeelement 3 kommuniziert mit einer Schiene 4, so dass der Jalousiezug 8 an seinen Seitenteilen komplett durch die Führungsschiene 31 bzw. die Schiene 4 geführt und teilweise abgedeckt ist. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Halteelement 6 an dem Profil 9 des Jalousiezuges 8 angeordnet, welches bei durch den Jalousiezug 8 geschlossenem Möbel der Korpusseite 1 beabstandet zugeordnet ist. An der Korpusseite 1 befindet sich eine Bremsvorrichtung, welche in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als Gummischnur 51 ausgeführt ist. Die Gummischnur 51 weist an ihren freien Enden angeordnete Befestigungselemente 7 auf, die in der Korpusseite 1 befestigbar sind. Die Gummischnur 51 ist zur Korpusseite 1 so beabstandet angeordnet, dass bei einer Bewegung des Jalousiezuges 8 das Halteelement 6 in diese eingreift und die Bewegung desJalousiezuges 8 abbremst. Die Spannung des zwischen den Befestigungselementen 7 angeordneten, als Gummischnur 51 ausgeführten dehnbaren Element 5 ist so gewählt, dass entsprechend der Höhe des Schrankes ein sicheres und unfallfreies Abbremsen des Jalousiezuges 8 jederzeit gewährleistet ist. Bei der Schließbewegung des Jalousiezuges 8 setzt sich dieser nach Überschreiten seines Schwerpunktes in vertikaler Richtung in Bewegung, bis das Haltelement 6 in das als Gummischnur 51 ausgebildete dehnbare Element 5 eingreift, so dass dieses entsprechend dem Gewicht des Jalousiezuges 8 nachgibt und bei optimaler Einstellung der Spannung des als Gummischnur 51 ausgeprägten, dehnbaren Elementes 5 kurz vor dem Verschließen am Korpusboden des Möbels gestoppt wird. Durch ein leichtes Nachdrücken an den am Jalousiezug 8 angebrachten Griffelementen kann dieser nun in eine Schließstellung gebracht werden. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass das dehnbare Element 5 im Bereich der an den Korpusseiten 2 anbringbaren Aufnahmeelemente 3 anbringbar ist und somit die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe der Bremsvorrichtung für Jalousiezüge löst. Diese Aufnahmeelemente 3 können sowohl eine schneckenförmig ausgebildete Führungsschiene 31 aufweisen, in der der Jalousiezug 8 im oberen Bereich der Korpusseiten 2 führbar ist. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass das Aufnahmeelement 3 wenigstens zwei 90° zueinander angeordnete Führungsschienen 31 aufweist, so dass der Jalousiezug 8 an die Rückwand des Möbels führbar und durch die erfindungsgemäße Bremsvorrichtung abbremsbar ist. Hierbei wird das als Gummischnur 51 ausgeprägte dehnbare Element 5 quer zur Rückwand des Möbels angeordnet und zwar in einem definierten Abstand zur Korpusseite 1, welche sicherstellt, dass der Jalousiezug 8 wiederum kurz vor dem Erreichen der Schließstellung gestoppt ist und durch leichtes Nachdrücken der bekannten Griffelemente am Jalousiezug 8 in Schließstellung gebracht werden kann.Fig. 1 shows a section of an interior view of a roller shutter cabinet in which the blind pull 8 is visible from its rear. This cabinet can for example as a kitchen cupboard, as a roll cupboard under a desk or as normal office cupboard. The cabinet consists of opposite one another Body sides 2, of which only one is shown, one of these body sides 2 covering body side 1 and a body bottom, not shown. On the body side 2 there are receiving elements 3 in the upper area of the cabinet attached, which have a helical guide rail 31. The Venetian blind pull 8 is opened by the guide rail 31 of the receiving element 3 controlled. The receiving element 3 communicates with one Rail 4, so that the blind pull 8 on its side parts completely through the guide rail 31 or the rail 4 is guided and partially covered. In this In the exemplary embodiment, the holding element 6 is arranged on the profile 9 of the blind pull 8, which with the cabinet side closed by the furniture 8 1 is assigned spaced. There is one on the body side 1 Braking device, which in this embodiment is designed as a rubber cord 51 is. The rubber cord 51 has fastening elements arranged at its free ends 7, which can be fastened in the carcase side 1. The rubber cord 51 is arranged at a distance from the body side 1 so that when the blind pull moves 8 the holding element 6 engages in this and the movement of the blind pull 8 brakes. The tension of the arranged between the fastening elements 7 stretchable element 5 designed as a rubber cord 51 is selected so that depending on the height of the cabinet, safe and accident-free braking of the blind pull 8 is guaranteed at all times.
