Abstract

A child proof safety grille for fitting to windows, balconies and other sites comprises an array of flexible vertical wires stretched between upper and lower horizontal metal rods whose outer ends are attached to fittings to secure the grille. The fittings include support brackets and slotted fastenings to adjust the tension in the grille. The vertical wires have a thickness of between 3 and 5 mm and are spaced between 60 and 120 mm and can be stainless steel or coated metal. The wires are welded to the horizontal rods. The grilles are fitted to fixed frames or to vertical posts, e.g. for safety fencing. The grilles can also be made in standard sizes.

Description

In unserer modernen Zeit mit Wohnungen in immer höheren Häusern, die fast durchwegs über Balkone verfügen, erhöhte sich die Absturzgefahr für Kleinkinder von Fenstern und Balkonen, wobei Unfälle mit tödlichem Ausgang nicht selten sind.
Zur Vermeidung dieser Gefahr wurde ein neuartiges Stahlgitter als Kinderschutzgitter geschaffen.In our modern time with apartments in ever higher houses, which almost always have balconies, the risk of falling for children of windows and balconies increased, whereby accidents with fatal outcome are not uncommon.
To avoid this danger, a new type of steel grille was created as a child protection grille.

Die Erfindung löste die Aufgabe, ein entsprechendes Kinderschutzgitter zu entwickeln, das als sicherer Schutz einfach angewendet werden kann und dabei den Ausblick sowie die Außenansicht des Gebäudes nicht wesentlich stört.The invention solved the problem of developing a corresponding child protection grille that can be easily applied as safe protection and the view as well as the Exterior view of the building does not significantly interfere.

Folgende Patentanmeldungen waren hiebei bekannt:
GB 2 194 272 A, DE 17 09 357 A, FR 2 376 277 A1, US 4 553 740 A und US 1 578 217 A.The following patent applications were known:
GB 2 194 272 A, DE 17 09 357 A, FR 2 376 277 A1, US 4 553 740 A and US 1 578 217 A.

Gitter laut GB 2 194 272 A sind durch dicke Querschnitte sehr stabil und verlocken die Kinder eher dazu, die Gitter zu überklettern. Um dies zu vermeiden, enden die vertikalen Stäbe mit Spitzen, die eine große Verletzungsgefahr bedeuten. Außerdem beeinträchtigen derartige Gitter den Blick durch das Fenster und den Blick auf die Außenfassade stark.Lattices according to GB 2 194 272 A are very stable due to thick cross sections and entice them Children are more likely to climb over the bars. To avoid this, the vertical ends Rods with tips that pose a great risk of injury. Also affect such grilles strong the view through the window and the view of the outer facade.

Gitter laut DE 17 09 357 A könnte man als Käfiggitter bezeichnen. Durch den geringen Abstand zwischen den zahlreichen vertikalen und horizontalen Stäben sind sie engmaschig und optisch störend.Grid according to DE 17 09 357 A could be called a cage grid. Due to the low They are closely spaced between the numerous vertical and horizontal bars and visually distracting.

Die Erfindung FR 2 376 277 A1 behandelt ein Schutzgitter, das über spezielle Haken von oben eingehängt werden kann und ist als Kinderschutzgitter nicht geeignet.The invention FR 2 376 277 A1 deals with a protective grille that has special hooks from can be hung at the top and is not suitable as a child safety gate.

Das US-Patent US 4 553 740 A behandelt ein Gitter ähnlich einem Baustahlgewebe mit zahlreichen Horizontalstäben, so daß es von Kindern überklettert werden kann.US Pat. No. 4,553,740 A also treats a mesh similar to a steel mesh numerous horizontal bars so that children can climb over them.

Das US-Patent US 1 578 217 A behandelt wieder ein Zaungitter, das durch zahlreiche Horizontal- und Vertikalstäbe gebildet wird. Um das Gitter gespannt zu halten, werden die horizontalen Stäbe mit starken Zugfedern versehen.The US patent US 1 578 217 A again deals with a fence that is characterized by numerous Horizontal and vertical bars are formed. To keep the grid taut, the horizontal bars with strong tension springs.

Um die Nachteile dieser bekannten Erfindungen zu vermeiden und ein optimales Kinderschutzgitter zu schaffen, wird das neue Kinderschutzgitter extrem zart und biegeelastisch, vorzugsweise aus Edelstahldrähten mit einer Dicke von 3 bis 6 mm ausgeführt. Die Kinderschutzgitter können auch aus handelsüblichen Stahldrähten mit abschließender Verzinkung oder Beschichtung ausgeführt werden.To avoid the disadvantages of these known inventions and an optimal one To create child protection grilles, the new child protection grille becomes extremely delicate and flexible, preferably made of stainless steel wires with a thickness of 3 to 6 mm executed. The child protection grille can also be made from standard steel wires final galvanizing or coating.

Das Kinderschutzgitter besteht vorzugsweise aus je 2 horizontalen dickeren Stäben mit 5 bis 6 mm Durchmesser als oberen und unteren Abschluß sowie aus senkrechten dünneren Stäben mit ca. 3 bis 4 mm Durchmesser in Abständen von 60 bis 120 mm, die sich an ihren Enden mit den horizontalen Stäben kreuzen. Für die Verbindung der Kinderschutzgitter mit dem Fenster werden die 2 oberen bzw. 2 unteren horizontalen Stäbe mit einem kurzen Montageprofil, das einen Längsschlitz aufweist, schweißtechnisch verbunden. Mit den auf diese Weise ausgeführten 4 Gitterenden kann das Gitter bereits auf dem Außenrahmen des Fensters befestigt werden. Sollte eine Befestigung auf die Mauerlaibung der Fensteraußenseite bevorzugt werden, so ist hiefür zusätzlich ein Befestigungswinkel vorgesehen, der es auch ermöglicht, die Gitterlänge auf das Ist-Maß der Laibung mit Hilfe von Verstellbohrungen und Durchschrauben anzupassen. Die Befestigung mit der Mauer erfolgt durch je 2 solide Niro-Schrauben und Dübel. Eine spätere Demontage hinterläßt nur die Spuren von kleinen Bohrlöchern.The child protection grille preferably consists of 2 horizontal thick bars with 5 to 6 mm diameter as upper and lower end and from vertical thinner Rods with a diameter of approx. 3 to 4 mm at intervals of 60 to 120 mm, which adhere to their Cross the ends with the horizontal bars. For connecting the child protection grille with the window, the 2 upper or 2 lower horizontal bars with a short Assembly profile, which has a longitudinal slot, welded together. With the on In this way, 4 grille ends can be placed on the outer frame of the grille Window are attached. Should there be an attachment to the wall reveal of the Window outside are preferred, there is an additional mounting bracket for this provided, which also makes it possible to use the grid length to the actual dimension of the reveal adjustment holes and screwing through. The attachment with the wall done by 2 solid stainless steel screws and dowels. A later disassembly only leaves the traces of small holes.

Da die Kinderschutzgitter außer den oberen und unteren Abschlüssen nur senkrechte Stäbe aufweisen, wird ein Überklettern durch Kleinkinder von vornherein verhindert. Die relativ dünnen oberen und unteren Abschlußstäbe führen zu einer sehr biegeelastischen, schwingungsfähigen Gesamtkonstruktion, so daß ein Anreiz für ein Überklettern von vornherein genommen wird. Die Höhe der Kinderschutzgitter liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 500 und 800 mm, wobei der untere Abschluß bereits ca. 100 mm Abstand zur Unterkante des Fensterrahmens hat.Since the child protection grille only vertical bars apart from the upper and lower ends over climbing by small children is prevented from the outset. The relative thin upper and lower end rods lead to a very flexible, vibratable overall structure, so that an incentive for climbing over is taken in advance. The height of the child protection grille is preferably between 500 and 800 mm, with the lower end already approx. 100 mm from the lower edge of the window frame.

Die Längen der Kinderschutzgitter sind in 100 mm - Abständen im Bereich zwischen 600 und 1300 mm als Standardlängen vorgesehen. Zwischenmaße werden durch das oben beschriebene Montageprofil und die gelochten Befestigungswinkel stufenlos hergestellt, so daß im üblichen Längenbereich keine Sondermaße produziert werden müssen.The lengths of the child protection grids are in 100 mm intervals in the range between 600 and 1300 mm are provided as standard lengths. Intermediate dimensions are indicated by the above described mounting profile and the perforated mounting bracket made continuously, so that no special dimensions have to be produced in the usual length range.

Obwohl die Kinderschutzgitter sehr zart sind, sind sie stark belastbar, soferne die Befestigung fachgerecht ausgeführt wird. Es besteht keine Verletzungsgefahr, da der obere und untere Gitterabschluß glatt sind.Although the child protection grilles are very delicate, they are very resilient, provided that Attachment is carried out professionally. There is no risk of injury since the upper one and the lower grille are smooth.

Das gleiche Gitter kann unter Verwendung von Zwischenstehern, die an der Balkonbrüstung mittels Schrauben befestigt werden, auch als Absturzsicherung an Balkonen benützt werden.The same grille can be made using intermediate posts attached to the Balcony balustrade can be attached with screws, also as fall protection on balconies be used.

Weitere Einsatzgebiete der Kinderschutzgitter sind:
Absicherung bei Schwimmbecken, Teichen, Bächen, Mauern, Böschungen etc. Die erforderlichen Steher bzw. Zwischenstäbe zwischen den einzelnen Gitterfeldern sind in ihrem unteren Bereich den jeweiligen Anwendungen wie Balkon, Mauerkrone oder Gärten anzupassen. Other areas of application for child protection grilles are:
Protection for swimming pools, ponds, streams, walls, embankments etc. The required uprights or intermediate bars between the individual grid fields are to be adapted in their lower area to the respective applications such as balconies, wall crowns or gardens.
