Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Lamellenelement wie im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Ein solches Lamellenelement ist z.B. aus der US-A-3 691687 oder der DE-U-93 10809 bekannt.The present invention relates to a lamellar element as in the preamble of claim 1. Such a lamellar element is for example from the US-A-3 691687 or the DE-U-93 10809 known.

Es gibt Lamellenregister, bei denen mehrere Lamellen in einem Rahmen gehalten sind. Die einzelnen Lamellen sind über eine Verstellmechanik miteinander verbunden und an gegenüberliegenden Seiten derart gelagert, dass sie gemeinsam über die Verstellmechanik gedreht und flexibel zur Beschattung oder Lichtlenkung eingesetzt werden zu können. Eine solche Verstellmechanik ist jedoch relativ aufwendig und teuer, weshalb das Bedürfnis besteht, eine einfachere Version mit feststehenden Lamellen bereitzustellen.There are lamellar registers in which several lamellae are held in a frame. The individual slats are connected to one another via an adjustment mechanism and mounted on opposite sides such that they can be rotated together via the adjustment mechanism and used flexibly for shading or light control. However, such an adjustment mechanism is relatively complicated and expensive, which is why there is a need to provide a simpler version with fixed blades.

Aus der DE 201 07 323 ist ein Lamellenelement bekannt, dass zwei parallel zueinander ausgerichtete Halteschienen aufweist, zwischen denen eine Vielzahl von Lamellen aufgespannt ist. Die einzelnen Lamellen sind jeweils in einem bestimmten Winkel an den Halteschienen montiert, wobei die Einheit aus Lamellen und Halteschienen in einen Rahmen einsteckbar ist. Bei diesem Lamellenelement besteht der Nachteil, dass die einzelnen Lamellen nicht in unterschiedlichen Winkeln montiert werden können, was den Einsatzzweck beschränkt, insbesondere da die Lamellen in unterschiedlichen Klimagebieten eingesetzt werden und daher andere Funktionen übernehmen sollen.From the DE 201 07 323 a lamellar element is known that has two mutually parallel support rails, between which a plurality of fins is clamped. The individual slats are each mounted at a certain angle to the support rails, the unit of slats and support rails is inserted in a frame. In this lamellar element has the disadvantage that the individual fins can not be mounted at different angles, which limits the purpose, especially since the fins are used in different climates and therefore should take on other functions.

Die US-A-3 691 687 offenbart einen Lamellenbehang, bei dem die einzelnen Lamellen jeweils an gegenüberliegenden Seiten an einem Halterelement montiert sind. An dem Halterelement sind Zapfen ausgebildet, die in entsprechende Aufnahmen an der Lamelle einfügbar sind.The US-A-3,691,687 discloses a slat curtain in which the individual slats are each mounted on opposite sides on a holder member. On the holder element pins are formed, which are insertable into corresponding receptacles on the lamella.

In der DE-U- 93 10 809 ist ein Wandelement mit einer Vielzahl von Lamellen offenbart, die in einen Rahmen eingesetzt sind. Hierfür sind an den Hohlprofilen des Rahmens Schlitze ausgebildet, damit die Lamellen in einer vorbestimmten Winkelposition in dem Rahmen gehalten werden.In the DE-U-93 10 809 discloses a wall element with a plurality of fins, which are inserted into a frame. For this purpose, the hollow sections of the Frame slits are formed so that the slats are held in a predetermined angular position in the frame.

Die US-A-2001/037603 zeigt einen Lamellenbehang, bei dem die Lamellen eine Hohlkammer auf eisen, die seitlich von einem Deckel verschlossen ist. Der Deckel ist mit einem nach außen hervorstehenden Zapfen versehen, der mit einem Schwenkmechanismus verbindbar ist, um die Lamellen zu drehen.The US-A-2001/037603 shows a Lamellenbehang, wherein the lamellae a hollow chamber on iron, which is laterally closed by a lid. The lid is provided with an outwardly projecting pin which is connectable to a pivoting mechanism to rotate the slats.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Lamellenelement zu schaffen, bei dem eine individuelle Winkeleinstellung der Lamellen bei ansonsten starrer Anordnung möglich ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fin element in which an individual angle adjustment of the slats in otherwise rigid arrangement is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Lamellenelement mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a lamellar element having the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Lamellen in unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen an den Halteschienen montierbar. Dadurch können die Lamellen je nach Bedarf eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise kann bei entsprechender Winkelstellung die Beschattung in den Vordergrund gestellt werden oder es ist möglich, nur einen gewissen Sichtschutz nach außen hin zu bieten. Nach einmaliger Einstellung des gewünschten Winkels verbleiben die Lamellen dann starr an den Halteschienen und es ist keine aufwendige Verstellmechanik erforderlich.According to the invention, the lamellae can be mounted on the support rails in different angular positions. As a result, the slats can be used as needed, for example, with appropriate angular position shading can be placed in the foreground or it is possible to provide only a certain privacy to the outside. After a single adjustment of the desired angle, the lamellae then remain rigidly on the support rails and no complex adjustment mechanism is required.

Gemäß der Erfindung sind die Lamellen jeweils durch zwei an gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeordnete Halteelemente fixiert, die in unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen an den Halteschienen festgelegt sind. Durch die Halteelemente kann somit eine Winkeleinstellung vorgenommen werden, wobei nach der Montage dann die Halteelemente die Lamellen in einer Winkelposition fixieren. Für eine einfache Ausrichtung der Halteelemente bzw. der Lamellen weisen die Halteelemente mehrere winklig zueinander angeordneten Nuten auf, in die an den Halteschienen ausgebildete Stege einfügbar sind. Die Stege verlaufen an den Halteschienen in vertikaler Richtung, sodass die Halteelemente an den Stegen ausgerichtet werden können.According to the invention, the slats are each fixed by two arranged on opposite sides holding elements, which are fixed in different angular positions on the support rails. Thus, an angle adjustment can be made by the holding elements, wherein after mounting then the holding elements fix the slats in an angular position. For a simple alignment of the holding elements or the lamellae, the holding elements have a plurality of mutually angularly arranged grooves, into which webs formed on the holding rails can be inserted. The webs run on the support rails in the vertical direction, so that the holding elements can be aligned with the webs.

Vorzugsweise sind die Halteelemente an den Halteschienen für eine Vormontage verrastbar, sodass jede Lamelle einzeln in der gewünschten Winkelstellung montiert werden kann und keine Verstellung erfolgt, bis die Einheit aus Halteschienen und Lamellen in einen Aufnahmerahmen eingesetzt ist.Preferably, the holding elements are latched to the support rails for pre-assembly, so that each slat can be mounted individually in the desired angular position and no adjustment is made until the unit is made of retaining rails and slats in a receiving frame.

Vorzugsweise sind die Lamellen als Hohlprofil ausgebildet und seitlich angeordnete Halteelemente greifen mit einem zapfen in die Lamelle ein, um die Lamelle in einer bestimmten Winkelstellung festzulegen. Dabei kann der Zapfen an einem inneren Steg der Lamelle angreifen.Preferably, the slats are formed as a hollow profile and laterally arranged holding elements engage with a pin in the blade to set the blade in a certain angular position. In this case, the pin can engage an inner web of the blade.

Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist in der Halteschiene und/oder einem an der Halteschiene montierbaren Nutenstein eine polygonale Öffnung ausgespart, in die ein polygonaler Zapfen eines Halteelements formschlüssig einfügbar ist. Auch durch eine solche Ausgestaltung lässt sich die jeweilige Lamelle in einer gewünschten Winkelstellung fixieren.According to an alternative embodiment, a polygonal opening in which a polygonal pin of a retaining element can be inserted in a form-fitting manner is recessed in the retaining rail and / or a sliding block which can be mounted on the retaining rail. Also, by such an embodiment, the respective blade can be fixed in a desired angular position.

Für eine einfache Montage der Lamellen sind an den Halteelementen vorzugsweise Markierungen zur Anzeige der Winkelstellung vorgesehen. Diese Markierungen können beispielsweise die Gradzahl angeben, in der die Lamelle zur vertikalen geneigt ist.For easy installation of the lamellae, markings for indicating the angular position are preferably provided on the holding elements. For example, these marks may indicate the number of degrees the slat is inclined to vertical.

Ein Lamellenelement 1 umfasst einen Aufnahmerahmen 2, der aus einzelnen Rahmenprofilen 3 gebildet ist. In den Aufnahmerahmen 2 ist ein Lamellenelement mit vertikalen Halteschienen 4 und dazwischen angeordneten Lamellen 5 eingesetzt. Das Lamellenelement 1 lässt sich vor Fenster oder Türen einsetzen und kann entweder mit dem Flügelrahmen bewegbar oder stationär an einer Fassade festgelegt sein.A lamellar element 1 comprises a receiving frame 2, which is formed from individual frame profiles 3. In the receiving frame 2, a fin element with vertical support rails 4 and arranged therebetween fins 5 is inserted. The lamellar element 1 can be used in front of windows or doors and can either be movable with the casement or fixed on a facade.

Wie in Figur 2 gezeigt ist sind die Rahmenprofile 3 aus einem Hohlprofil gebildet und im oberen und unteren Bereich mit einem horizontalen Halteschienenprofil 4 verbunden. Es ist allerdings nicht unbedingt notwendig, solche horizontalen Halteschienenprofile 4 vorzusehen. Der Aufnahmerahmen 2 kann in an sich bekannter Weise auf Gehrung geschnitten sein und mit Eckverbindern verbunden sein. In den Aufnahmerahmen 2 lässt sich eine Einheit aus Halteschienen 4 und Lamellen 5 in horizontaler Richtung einschieben und verrasten.As in FIG. 2 Shown are the frame profiles 3 are formed from a hollow profile and connected in the upper and lower regions with a horizontal support rail profile 4. However, it is not absolutely necessary to provide such horizontal support rail profiles 4. The receiving frame 2 may be mitred in a conventional manner and be connected to corner connectors. In the receiving frame 2, a unit of retaining rails 4 and slats 5 can be inserted in the horizontal direction and lock.

Die Lamellen 5 sind als Hohlprofil ausgebildet und weisen seitliche Schraubkanäle 6 auf, an denen Abdeckkappen montierbar sind. Ferner ist innerhalb des Hohlprofils ein mittiger Steg 7 angeordnet. Die Lamellen 5 können aus Aluminium extrudiert sein, aber auch aus Kunststoff oder einem anderen Material bestehen, sowie als Vollprofil ausgebildet sein.The slats 5 are formed as a hollow profile and have lateral screw channels 6, on which caps are mounted. Further, a central web 7 is disposed within the hollow profile. The fins 5 can be extruded from aluminum be, but also made of plastic or other material, and be designed as a solid profile.

In der Explosionsdarstellung der Figur 3 lässt sich die Montage des Lamellenelementes erläutern. Die Halteschienen 4 weisen in einem mittleren Bereich Bohrungen 8 auf, in die Halteelemente 9 mit einem Zapfen 10 einfügbar sind. Der Begriff "Zapfen" soll nicht nur runde Querschnitte erfassen, sondern auch eckige Geometrien, Kreuze oder andere Formen, die in die Bohrung 8 durchsteckbar sind. Die Zapfen 10 sind an den Lamellen 5 festlegbar und können deren Winkelstellung an den Halteschienen 4 bestimmen.In the exploded view of the FIG. 3 can explain the installation of the lamellar element. The support rails 4 have in a central region bores 8, in the holding elements 9 with a pin 10 can be inserted. The term "pin" is intended to cover not only round cross-sections, but also angular geometries, crosses or other shapes that can be pushed through into the bore 8. The pins 10 can be fixed to the slats 5 and can determine their angular position on the support rails 4.

Wenn die Lamellen 5 an den Halteschienen 4 montiert sind, wird die Montageeinheit aus Halteschienen 4 und Lamellen 5 in den Aufnahmerahmen 2 eingeschoben, wobei entsprechende Rastmittel vorgesehen sind. Das Rahmenprofil 3 weist einen hervorstehenden Steg 11 auf, an dem eine Rastzunge 12 angeformt ist. Die Rastzunge 12 lässt sich in eine Nut 16 an der Halteschiene 4 einfügen. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Nut 16 weist die Halteschiene 4 ein winklig hervorstehenden Steg 14 auf, an dem eine Rastzungen 15 vorsteht, die in eine Nut 13 an dem Rahmenprofil 3 einfügbar ist. Wenn die Einheit aus Lamellen und Halteschienen 4 in den Aufnahmerahmen 2 eingefügt wird, lässt sich mit den Rastverbindungen eine dauerhafte Verbindung bereitstellen.If the slats 5 are mounted on the support rails 4, the mounting unit of support rails 4 and slats 5 is inserted into the receiving frame 2, wherein corresponding locking means are provided. The frame profile 3 has a protruding web 11, on which a latching tongue 12 is formed. The latching tongue 12 can be inserted into a groove 16 on the retaining rail 4. On the opposite side of the groove 16, the retaining rail 4 an angled protruding web 14, on which a locking tongues 15 protrudes, which is insertable into a groove 13 on the frame profile 3. When the unit of slats and support rails 4 is inserted into the receiving frame 2, can be provided with the locking connections a permanent connection.

In Figur 4 sind die Bauelemente für die Montage noch einmal im Detail dargestellt. Die Halteelemente 9 weisen einen Zapfen 10 auf, in dem Schlitze 17 ausgespart sind. Die Schlitze 17 sind kreuzförmig angeordnet und können auf den Steg 7 in der Lamelle 5 aufgesteckt werden. Ferner sind an dem Halteelement 9 an dem runden Flanschabschnitt, der seitlich über den Zapfen 10 hervorsteht, Nuten 18 ausgespart. In diese Nuten 18 lässt sich ein hervorstehender Steg 19 an der Halteschiene 4 einfügen. Durch die Verbindung zwischen Halteschiene 4, Halteelement 9 und Lamelle 5 lässt sich somit der Winkel der Lamelle 5 relativ zu der Halteschiene 4 einstellen, je nachdem welche Nut 18 in Eingriff mit dem Steg 19 ist. Ferner kann eine weitere Winkelstellung gewählt werden, je nachdem welcher Schlitz 17 mit dem Steg 7 in Eingriff ist.In FIG. 4 the components for the assembly are shown again in detail. The holding elements 9 have a pin 10, are recessed in the slots 17. The slots 17 are arranged in a cross shape and can be plugged onto the web 7 in the blade 5. Furthermore, grooves 18 are recessed on the holding element 9 on the round flange portion, which projects laterally beyond the pin 10. In these grooves 18 can be a protruding ridge 19 on the support rail 4 insert. Due to the connection between the support rail 4, retaining element 9 and lamella 5, thus the angle of the blade 5 can be adjusted relative to the support rail 4, depending on which groove 18 is in engagement with the web 19. Furthermore, a further angular position can be selected, depending on which slot 17 is engaged with the web 7.

In Figur 5 ist eine Ausführungsform gezeigt, bei der zwei Halteschienen 4 benachbart aneinander angeordnet sind und jeweils mehrere Lamellen 5 an den Halteschienen 4 montiert sind. Die Verrastung der Halteschienen 4 erfolgt in ähnlicher Weise wie die Verrastung zwischen den Rahmenprofilen 3 und den Halteschienen 4.In FIG. 5 an embodiment is shown in which two retaining rails 4 are arranged adjacent to each other and in each case a plurality of blades 5 are mounted on the support rails 4. The locking of the support rails 4 in a similar manner as the locking between the frame sections 3 and the support rails. 4

In Figur 6 sind die Halteschienen 4 im Schnitt gezeigt, wobei die verwendeten Halteelemente 9 sichtbar sind, die an den Halteschienen 4 festgelegt sind. Der Zapfen 10 durchgreift die Halteschiene 4 und liegt formschlüssig an dem Steg 7 in der Hohlkammer der Lamelle 5 an. Zur Fixierung der Winkelstellung der Lamelle 5 greift der Steg 19 in die gewünschte Nut 18 an dem Halteelement 9 ein, sodass sich das Halteelement 9 weder drehen noch absenken kann. Zur Vorfixierung des Halteelementes 9 sind am äußeren Umfang hervorstehende flexible Rastnasen 20 vorgesehen, die in eine hinterschnittene Nut 21 an der Halteschiene 4 eingreifen. Das Halteelement 9 lässt sich somit an der Halteschiene 4 einclipsen.In FIG. 6 the support rails 4 are shown in section, wherein the holding elements 9 used are visible, which are fixed to the support rails 4. Die Halteschienen 4 sind in Fig. 2 dargestellt. The pin 10 passes through the retaining rail 4 and is positively against the web 7 in the hollow chamber of the blade 5 at. To fix the angular position of the blade 5, the web 19 engages in the desired groove 18 on the holding element 9, so that the holding member 9 can neither rotate nor lower. For prefixing the retaining element 9, protruding flexible locking lugs 20 are provided on the outer circumference, which engage in an undercut groove 21 on the retaining rail 4. The retaining element 9 can thus be clipped onto the retaining rail 4.

Ferner weisen die Halteschienen 4 hinterschnittene Nuten 24 auf, die eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit einer Verschraubung bieten. Die Nuten 24 sind für Schrauben und Muttern nach dem metrischen System ausgebildet, sodass entsprechende Montageteile formschlüssig eingesetzt werden können.Furthermore, the retaining rails 4 have undercut grooves 24, which offer an additional possibility of screwing. The grooves 24 are formed for screws and nuts on the metric system, so that corresponding mounting parts can be used positively.

Wie in den Darstellungen der Figur 7 zu erkennen ist, besitzt ein Halteelement 9 an dem flanschförmigen runden Abschnitt mehrere Nuten 18 bzw. 18'. Je nachdem welche Nut 18 bzw. 18' in Eingriff mit dem Steg 19 an der Halteschiene kommt, lässt sich der Winkel der Lamelle 5 einstellen. Um die Montage zu vereinfachen, sind auf der Rückseite des Halteelementes 9 Markierungen 23 vorgesehen, mit denen die jeweilige Winkelstellung der Lamelle angegeben ist. Wird die Lamelle in einem Winkel von 70° zur Vertikalen montiert, steht auf der Markierung eine entsprechende Zahl und die Ausrichtung der Nut ist visuell auf der Rückseite des Halteelementes 9 dargestellt.As in the representations of FIG. 7 can be seen, has a holding element 9 on the flange-shaped round section a plurality of grooves 18 and 18 '. Depending on which groove 18 or 18 'comes into engagement with the web 19 on the retaining rail, the angle of the blade 5 can be adjusted. In order to simplify the assembly, 9 marks 23 are provided on the back of the retaining element, with which the respective angular position of the blade is indicated. If the lamella is mounted at an angle of 70 ° to the vertical, a corresponding number appears on the marking and the orientation of the groove is visually shown on the rear side of the holding element 9.

Ferner ist in dem Halteelement 9 eine mittige Öffnung 22 vorgesehen, die als Schraubkanal oder zum Injizieren eines Klebstoffes einsetzbar ist. Durch das Einbringen von Kleber durch das Halteelement kann eine besonders feste Verbindung zwischen Lamelle und Halteelement 9 bereitgestellt werden.Furthermore, a central opening 22 is provided in the holding element 9, which can be used as a screw channel or for injecting an adhesive. By introducing of adhesive through the retaining element, a particularly firm connection between the blade and retaining element 9 can be provided.

Je nach Festigkeitsanforderungen kann das Halteelement 9 aus Metall oder Kunststoff hergestellt sein.Depending on the strength requirements, the retaining element 9 may be made of metal or plastic.

Es wurden einige Ausführungsbeispiele für die mechanische Festlegung der Lamellen 5 in einer gewünschten Winkelstellung gezeigt. Mit diesen Bauelementen lässt sich somit ein Lamellenelement bereitstellen, bei dem die Lamellen 5 bei der Montage in der gewünschten Stellung ausgerichtet werden können. Es ist auch möglich, dass für unterschiedliche Jahreszeiten eine Demontage stattfindet und die Lamellen dann in einer anderen Winkelstellung wieder fixiert werden. Schließlich ist es auch denkbar, dass die Lamellen 5 über die Halteelemente 9 in einer gewünschten Position fixiert werden, aber über Rastmittel in andere Winkel verstellbar gehalten sind, und somit ohne Demontage in eine andere Winkelstellung drehbar sind.There have been shown some embodiments for the mechanical fixing of the slats 5 in a desired angular position. With these components can thus provide a fin element, in which the slats 5 during assembly can be aligned in the desired position. It is also possible that a disassembly takes place for different seasons and the slats are then fixed again in a different angular position. Finally, it is also conceivable that the slats 5 are fixed on the support members 9 in a desired position, but are held adjustable by locking means in other angles, and thus are rotatable without disassembly into another angular position.
