Abstract

A variable effect roller blind has at least two panels of different material fitted one above the other. One roller is attached to each panel to wind each panel separately and thereby achieve different covering effects for the blind. Typical panel types include a material which shades while providing ventilation and a rain protection panel. The rollers can be fitted in different positions on the panels.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Wickelvorrichtung, insbesondere eine Wickeljalousie mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs.The present invention relates to a winding device, in particular a winding blind with the features of the independent claim.

Anwendungsbereiche für derartige Wickeljalousien sind vielfältig. So kommen sie bspw. zur variablen Abschirmung von Räumen, zur variablen Belüftung und/oder Abschattung von Tierställen, von Gewächshäusern oder dergleichen zum Einsatz. Üblicherweise weisen derartige Abschirmvorrichtungen Rollsysteme mit variabel aufund abrollbaren Gewebebahnen auf, um eine gewünschte Abschattung bzw. Abschirmung der Gebäude- oder Wandöffnung zu ermöglichen.Areas of application for such winding blinds are diverse. For example, they are used for variable shielding of rooms, for variable ventilation and / or shading of animal houses, greenhouses or the like. Usually, such shielding devices roll systems with variably aufund roll-up tissue webs in order to enable a desired shading or shielding of the building or wall opening.

Herkömmliche Jalousieeinrichtungen, bei denen eine drehbare Wickelrolle oberhalb einer zu bedeckenden Öffnung angeordnet ist, ermöglichen lediglich ein Aufund Abrollen der Gewebebahn auf der Wickelrolle und damit eine variable Öffnung nach oben hin. Derartige Jalousieeinrichtungen dienen bspw. zur Beschattung von Fensteröffnungen in Häusern und Wohnungen. Daneben gibt es Jalousieeinrichtungen, bei denen eine obere Längsseite einer Gewebebahn starr befestigt und eine untere Längsseite mit einer höhenverstellbaren Wickelrolle versehen ist. Derartige Jalousieeinrichtungen werden bspw. bei Gewächshäusern eingesetzt. Die Gewebebahn kann bei derartigen herkömmlichen Wickelvorrichtungen lediglich von unten nach oben geöffnet werden, was für manche Anwendungsfälle ungünstig ist.Conventional Venetian blind devices, in which a rotatable winding roll is arranged above an opening to be covered, only allow a Aufund unrolling of the fabric web on the winding roll and thus a variable opening towards the top. Such Venetian blinds serve, for example, for the shading of window openings in houses and apartments. In addition, there are blind devices in which an upper longitudinal side of a fabric web rigidly fixed and a lower longitudinal side is provided with a height-adjustable winding roll. Such blinds are used, for example, in greenhouses. The fabric web can be opened in such conventional winding devices only from bottom to top, which is unfavorable for some applications.

So ist bspw. in Tierställen eine ständige Bedeckung des unteren Bereichs der Öffnung bei gleichzeitig variabel luft- und/oder lichtdurchlässig gestaltbarem oberem Bereich erwünscht. Aus diesem Grund sind variablere Abschirmvorrichtungen bekannt geworden, bei denen die zuvor starr oberhalb der zu bedeckenden Öffnung angeordnete Wickelrolle höhenverstellbar ausgeführt ist. Eine derartige Abschirmvorrichtung, bei der eine obere Wickelrolle bzw. eine obere Fixierung einer Gewebebahn mittels eines Seilzugsystems in der Höhe verstellbar gemacht ist, ist bspw. aus der DE 103 36 944 A1 bekannt. Die obere Seilführung ist hierbei allerdings relativ aufwändig, schwer zu justieren und im länger andauernden Betrieb störungsanfällig.Thus, for example, in animal stalls, a constant covering of the lower region of the opening is desired with an upper area which is simultaneously adjustable in terms of air and / or translucency. For this reason, more variable shielding devices have become known in which the winding roll previously arranged rigidly above the opening to be covered is designed to be height-adjustable. Such a shielding device, in which an upper winding roll or an upper fixation of a fabric web is made adjustable in height by means of a cable system is, for example. From the DE 103 36 944 A1 known. However, the upper cable guide here is relatively complex, difficult to adjust and susceptible to interference in prolonged operation.

Ein anderes System zur variablen Belüftung und/oder Beschattung von Gebäuden oder Räumen ist aus der DE 202 14 076 U1 bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung umfasst ein oberes und ein unteres Rollsystem zum Auf- und Abrollen eines Schirms, so dass unterschiedliche Gewebearten wahlweise auf der oberen oder unteren Wickelrolle aufgerollt werden können. Hierdurch wird der Raum bspw. mit einer dichteren Gewebeart beschattet oder mittels einer sehr weitmaschig gewebten Gewebeart luft- und lichtdurchlässig gemacht. Die beiden Wickelelemente sind jeweils starr oberhalb und unterhalb der Raumöffnung verankert. Eine derartige Vorrichtung kann sich nicht über eine beliebige Breite erstrecken, da die Unterschiede in den Durchmessern der oberen und unteren Rolle jederzeit mittels einer Aufspannvorrichtung ausgeglichen werden müssen und die Lagerung der oberen Wickelrolle bei sehr breiten und somit schweren Abschirmbahnen problematisch ist. Die Verwendung der derartigen Vorrichtung zur Abdeckung eines sehr breiten Bereiches erfordern somit ein Aneinanderreihen mehrerer derartiger Vorrichtungen.Another system for variable ventilation and / or shading of buildings or rooms is from the DE 202 14 076 U1 known. This device comprises an upper and a lower roll system for winding and unwinding a screen, so that different types of fabric can optionally be rolled up on the upper or lower winding roll. As a result, the space is, for example, shaded with a denser type of fabric or rendered air and light-permeable by means of a very wide-meshed woven fabric. The two winding elements are each anchored rigidly above and below the space opening. Such a device can not extend over any width, since the differences in the diameters of the upper and lower rollers must be compensated at all times by means of a jig and the storage of the upper winding roll is problematic for very wide and thus heavy Abschirmbahnen. The use of such a device to cover a very wide area thus requires a series of several such devices.

Eine ähnlich geartete Rollovorrichtung mit einer ersten und einer abweichend beschaffenen zweiten Materialbahn, die jeweils um eine Wickelachse wickelbar sind, und die jeweils mit einem ersten Ende im Bereich ihrer Wickelachse an einem Halter befestigt sind, ist weiterhin aus der DE 92 10 938 U1 benannt. Die erste und die zweite Materialbahn sind an ihrem freien zweiten Ende miteinander fest verbunden und die Halter sind relativ zueinander aufeinander zu bzw. voneinander weg bewegbar, wobei bei diesen Bewegungen die beiden Materialbahnen auf- bzw. abwickelbar sind.A similar kind of roller blind device with a first and a deviated second material web, which are each wound around a winding axis, and which are each secured with a first end in the region of its winding axis to a holder, is further from the DE 92 10 938 U1 named. The first and the second material web are firmly connected to one another at their free second end and the holders are movable relative to one another toward or away from one another, the two material webs being able to be unwound or unwound during these movements.

Eine flexible Abschirmvorrichtung für sehr große Öffnungen, bspw. zur Raumtrennung in Flugzeughallen, ist aus der US 3,306,344 A bekannt. Diese umfasst einen flexiblen Vorhang, dessen Oberkante an einem horizontalen Kopfabschnitt befestigt ist und dessen Seitenkanten in seitlichen Führungselementen verlaufen, ein oder mehrere horizontal angeordnete Walzen, die an dem Vorhang befestigt sind und Antriebsmittel zur gleichzeitigen Drehung der Walzen mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit, wobei sich beim Öffnen des Vorhangs jede der Walzen nach oben bewegt, weil sie sich um oberhalb und unterhalb von ihnen liegende Abschnitte des Vorhangs wickeln. Eine derartige Abschirmvorrichtung kann durch die starre Befestigung an der Oberkante eine nahezu beliebige Breite aufweisen. Die Wickelungstechnik führt zu einer je nach Anzahl der verwendeten Walzen beschleunigten Wicklung und damit einem schnellen Öffnen und Schließen auch großer Flächen.A flexible shielding device for very large openings, eg. For the separation of rooms in aircraft hangars, is from the US 3,306,344 A known. This comprises a flexible curtain whose upper edge is attached to a horizontal head portion and whose side edges extend in lateral guide elements, one or more horizontally arranged rollers attached to the curtain, and drive means for simultaneously rotating the rollers at the same speed, opening upon opening the curtain moves each of the rollers upwards because they wrap around portions of the curtain above and below them. Such a shielding device can have almost any width due to the rigid attachment to the upper edge. The winding technique leads to an accelerated according to the number of rollers used winding and thus a fast opening and closing of large areas.

Ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Wickelvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zum variablen Bedecken von Flächen, bspw. Öffnungen in Räumen oder Gebäuden, mit Oberflächenbahnen unterschiedlicher Beschaffenheiten bzw. zum Freistellen dieser Flächen wie bekannt aus WO-A-03076756
zur Verfügung zu stellen, die einfach aufgebaut und betätigbar ist und die sich auch für große Flächen eignet.
An object of the present invention is a winding device according to the preamble of claim 1 for the variable covering of surfaces, for example. Openings in rooms or buildings, with surface paths of different textures or to cropping these surfaces as known from WO-A-03076756
to provide, which is simple to set up and operate and which is also suitable for large areas.

Dieses Ziel der Erfindung wird mit dem Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs erreicht. Merkmale vorteilhafter Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object of the invention is achieved with the subject matter of the independent claim. Features of advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Wickelvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs ermöglicht eine variable Bedeckung von Flächen, bspw. Öffnungen in Räumen oder Gebäuden.The winding device according to the invention with the features of the independent claim allows variable coverage of surfaces, for example. Openings in rooms or buildings.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Wickelvorrichtung ist es möglich, eine zu bedeckende oder freizugebende Öffnung in einem Gehäuse, einem Gebäude, einem Stall, einem Gewächshaus oder dergleichen Variabel zu öffnen oder zu schließen bzw. zu beschatten oder weitgehend freizugeben. Damit stellt die erfindungsgemäße Wickelvorrichtung eine vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklung dar, da die derzeit bekannten Jalousievorrichtungen mit oberer starrer Befestigung ein variables Belüften einer oberen Öffnung mit gleichzeitiger Abdeckung eines unteren Bereichs der Öffnung nicht zulassen.With the winding device according to the invention, it is possible to open or close or shadow or largely release an opening to be covered or released in a housing, a building, a stable, a greenhouse or the like variable. Thus, the winding device according to the invention represents an advantageous development, since the currently known blind devices with upper rigid attachment do not allow variable venting an upper opening with simultaneous coverage of a lower portion of the opening.

Neben den bereits genannten gibt es zahlreiche weitere Anwendungsgebiete für die erfindungsgemäße Wickelvorrichtung. So können derartige Wickelvorrichtungen als mobile Trennwände im Außen- und/oder Innenbereich eingesetzt werden, bspw. als mobile Trennwände in Fertigungshallen, die den unterschiedlichsten Anforderungen genügen können. So können damit bspw. variabel handhabbare Brandschutzwände, Schallschutzwände und/oder Lärmschutzwände realisiert werden, die nur im Bedarfsfall aus ihrer oberen Aufhängung gezogen und bei Nichtgebrauch wieder eingerollt werden können.In addition to those already mentioned, there are numerous other fields of application for the winding device according to the invention. Thus, such winding devices can be used as mobile partitions in outdoor and / or indoor use, for example. As mobile partitions in production halls that can meet a variety of requirements. Thus, for example, variably manageable fire protection walls, sound insulation walls and / or noise barriers can be realized, which can be pulled out of their upper suspension only when needed and rolled back when not in use.

An manchen Fertigungsstätten sind UV-Schutzwände notwendig, bspw. zur Abschirmung von Schweißarbeitsplätzen. Auch hier kann die erfindungsgemäße Wickelvorrichtung vorteilhaft eingesetzt werden. Die genannten Anwendungsfälle oder Teile davon sind mittels jeweils einer Wickelvorrichtung problemlos realisierbar, da die unterschiedlichen Gewebe- bzw. Oberflächenbahnen den jeweiligen Einsatzzwecken angepasst sein und entsprechend ausgerollt werden können.At some production sites, UV protective walls are necessary, for example for shielding welding workplaces. Again, the winding device according to the invention can be used advantageously. The applications mentioned or parts thereof can be easily realized by means of a winding device, since the different tissue or surface webs can be adapted to the respective purposes and can be rolled out accordingly.

Wenn im vorliegenden Zusammenhang die Begriffe "Oberflächenbahn" bzw. "Oberflächen unterschiedlicher Beschaffenheiten" verwendet werden, so sind damit grundsätzlich Abschnitte von Abschirmelementen gemeint und umfasst, die wahlweise aus unterschiedlichsten Gewebearten wie Netzgittergewebe bzw. herkömmlichen mehr oder weniger dicht gewebten Stoffen, aus nebeneinander verlaufenden Schnüren, Seilen oder flachen Bändern, oder auch aus geschlossenen Oberflächen wie bspw. Kunststoff- oder Kunstfaserfolien bzw. -planen bestehen können. Die derart gestalteten Abschnitte können jeweils aus Natur- und/oder Kunstfasern bzw. -folien o. dgl. gefertigt sein und weisen bevorzugt jeweils unterschiedliche Eigenschaften bezüglich ihrer Durchlässigkeiten bspw. für Licht, Luft, Wasser, aber auch für Staub oder andere Luftpartikel, Insekten etc. auf.If the terms "surface web" or "surfaces of different textures" are used in the present context, they are basically sections of shielding elements and includes, optionally of different types of fabric such as net mesh fabric or conventional more or less densely woven fabrics, running side by side Lacing, ropes or flat tapes, or may consist of closed surfaces such as plastic or synthetic fiber films or tarpaulins. The sections designed in this way can each be made from natural and / or synthetic fibers or films or the like and preferably have different properties with regard to their permeabilities, for example for light, air, water, but also for dust or other air particles, insects etc. on.

Wenn von unterschiedlichen Beschaffenheiten der Oberflächen die Rede ist, so können damit grundsätzlich neben den erwähnten Eigenschaften der Licht- und Luftdurch- bzw. -undurchlässigkeit auch andere physikalische und/oder chemische Eigenschaften gemeint sein, bspw. eine - oben bereits erwähnte - zumindest teilweise Undurchlässigkeit für UV-Licht, für Schall o. dgl. Je nach gewählter Ausgestaltung kann die Wickelvorrichtung somit den vielfältigsten Einsatzzwecken genügen.If different surface textures are mentioned, they may in principle mean other physical and / or chemical properties in addition to the properties of light and air permeability and / or impermeability, for example an at least partially imperviousness mentioned above For UV light, for sound o. The like. Depending on the chosen configuration, the winding device can thus satisfy the most diverse uses.

Wenn auch im Zusammenhang mit der vorliegenden Beschreibung sowie des nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiels meist von einem sich in vertikaler Richtung erstreckenden Abdeckelement bzw. von senkrecht nach unten hängenden Oberflächen, Planen o.ä. die Rede ist, so ist eine solche Anordnung keineswegs zwingend. Es versteht sich für den Fachmann von selbst, dass auch eine schräge oder horizontale Anordnung der erfindungsgemäßen Wickelvorrichtung möglich ist und sinnvoll sein kann, wobei hier ggf. für eine entsprechende Straffung des aufwickelbaren Abdeckelementes zu sorgen ist. Insbesondere bei den Varianten, bei denen sowohl eine obere Kante als auch eine untere Kante jeweils starr eingespannt ist, können geeignete seitliche Führungen bzw. Spannelemente genügen, um einen unerwünschten Durchhang zu verhindern.Although in connection with the present description and the following exemplary embodiment usually from a vertically extending cover or from vertically downwards hanging surfaces, tarpaulins o.ä. it is not necessary to make such an arrangement. It goes without saying for the person skilled in the art that even an oblique or horizontal arrangement of the winding device according to the invention is possible and can make sense, in which case it may be necessary to ensure a corresponding tightening of the windable cover element. In particular, in the variants in which both an upper edge and a lower edge is respectively rigidly clamped, suitable lateral guides or clamping elements can be sufficient to prevent undesired sag.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung erstreckt sich ein derartiger Abschnitt eines Abschirmelementes über die gesamte Breite bzw. Länge der Wickelvorrichtung in Längserstreckungsrichtung der Wickelelemente und entspricht in seiner Länge bzw. Breite ungefähr der Länge bzw. Breite der abzudeckenden Fläche, so dass ein einzelner derartiger Abschnitt bei entsprechender Wicklung der Wickelvorrichtung die gesamte abzudeckende Fläche bedecken kann. Eine typische Breite einer erfindungsgemäßen Wickelvorrichtung kann bspw. bis zu 20 Meter oder mehr betragen. Je nach Bedarf sind jedoch auch wesentlich größere Breiten variabel abdeckbar. Für den Fachmann versteht sich von selbst, dass sehr breite abzudeckende Flächen wahlweise auch mit in mehrere Abschnitte bzw. Segmente unterteilten Wickelvorrichtungen variabel bedeckt werden können, bei denen wahlweise mehrere Wickelvorrichtungen parallel angeordnet sind, oder bei denen lediglich die Oberflächen segmentiert und jeweils auf gemeinsamen Wickelelementen aufrollbar sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such a portion of a shielding element extends over the entire width or length of the winding device in the longitudinal direction of the winding elements and corresponds in its length or width approximately the length or width of surface to be covered, so that a single such section with appropriate winding of the winding device can cover the entire surface to be covered. A typical width of a winding device according to the invention may be, for example, up to 20 meters or more. Depending on requirements, however, much larger widths can be covered variably. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that very wide surfaces to be covered may optionally be variably covered with winding devices divided into several sections or segments, where a plurality of winding devices are optionally arranged in parallel, or where only the surfaces are segmented and each on common winding elements be rolled up.

Beliebig viele derartige Abschnitte sind jeweils an ihren Längskanten fest miteinander verbunden, so dass das gesamte Abschirmelement beliebig lang sein kann. Erfindungsgemäß ist immer ein so großer Anteil des Abschirmelements auf die wenigstens zwei Wickelelemente aufgerollt, dass die Länge des freiliegenden, die Fläche bedeckenden Anteils des Abschirmelements maximal der Höhe bzw. Breite der zu bedeckenden Fläche entspricht.Any number of such sections are each firmly connected to one another at their longitudinal edges, so that the entire shielding element can be of any desired length. According to the invention, such a large proportion of the shielding element is always rolled up onto the at least two winding elements such that the length of the exposed portion of the shielding element covering the surface corresponds at most to the height or width of the surface to be covered.

Innerhalb von wenigstens zwei derartigen Abschnitten des Abschirmelementes ist erfindungsgemäß jeweils wenigstens ein Wickelelement angeordnet. Die Wickelelemente der erfindungsgemäßen Wickelvorrichtung sind insbesondere in einem mittleren Bereich der ihnen jeweils zugeordneten Oberflächenbahn angeordnet und an dieser Stelle fest mit der entsprechenden Oberflächenbahn verbunden, so dass bei einer Drehung des entsprechenden Wickelelements ein von ihrer Mitte ausgehendes doppellagiges Wickeln der jeweiligen Oberflächenbahn um das Wickelelement herum erfolgt. Alternativ können auch zwei oder mehrere Wickelelemente innerhalb eines Abschnitts des Abschirmelements angeordnet sein. Diese müssen hierbei jeweils so über den Bereich der Oberflächenbahn verteilt sein, dass sie sich während des Wickelvorgangs nicht gegenseitig behindern. Bspw. muss beim Einsatz von zwei Wickelelementen pro Oberflächenbahn das erste etwa im oberen Viertel und das zweite im unteren Viertel der Oberflächenbahn angeordnet sein.Within at least two such sections of the shielding element, at least one winding element is arranged according to the invention. The winding elements of the winding device according to the invention are arranged in particular in a central region of their associated surface web and firmly connected at this point with the corresponding surface web, so that upon rotation of the corresponding winding element emanating from its center two-ply winding the respective surface web around the winding element around he follows. Alternatively, two or more winding elements may be arranged within a portion of the shielding. These must each be distributed over the area of the surface web so that they do not interfere with each other during the winding process. For example. When using two winding elements per surface web, the first must be arranged approximately in the upper quarter and the second in the lower quarter of the surface web.

Ein im Bereich der zuunterst angeordneten Oberflächenbahn angeordnetes Wickelelement kann wahlweise am unteren Ende der Oberflächenbahn angeordnet sein, so dass zumindest die zuunterst liegende Oberflächenbahn von einer Unterkante ausgehend einlagig aufgewickelt werden kann. Durch das Aufwickeln der untersten Oberflächenbahn kann ein Freistellen der Fläche, bspw. der Gebäude- oder Raumöffnung, von unten her erfolgen. Weiterhin ist es alternativ möglich, bei einer bereits aufgerollten unteren Oberfläche nur das obere Wickelelement aufzurollen und gleichzeitig das untere Wickelelement in seiner Höhe zu fixieren. Ggf. kann hierzu das untere Wickelelement drehbar verankert sein, so dass die zu bedeckende Fläche nicht vollständig freigelegt werden, sondern nur wahlweise mit einer von mehreren Oberflächen bedeckt werden kann.A winding element arranged in the region of the lowermost surface web can optionally be arranged at the lower end of the surface web, so that at least the lowermost surface web can be wound up in one layer from a lower edge. By winding the bottom one Surface track can be an exemption of the surface, eg. The building or room opening, done from below. Furthermore, it is alternatively possible, with an already rolled up lower surface to roll up only the upper winding element and at the same time to fix the lower winding element in its height. Possibly. For this purpose, the lower winding element can be rotatably anchored so that the surface to be covered can not be fully exposed, but can only be optionally covered with one of several surfaces.

Gemäß einem vorteilhaften Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung sind die Wickelelemente in Bewegungsrichtung des Abdeckelements nicht fest verankert, sondern führen während des Wickelvorgangs eine in Bewegungsrichtung des Abdeckelements gerichtete Bewegung aus, die sich aus der Verkürzung bzw. Verlängerung der freiliegenden Fläche der jeweiligen Oberflächenbahn ergibt. Bei einer hängenden Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung bewegt sich das Wickelelement während des Aufwickelvorgangs nach oben und während des Abwickelvorgangs nach unten, sofern nicht ein weiteres, darüber liegendes Wickelelement einen Wickelvorgang ausführt, der die absolute Auf- oder Abwärtsbewegung des unteren Wickelelementes ausgleicht. Die Wickelelemente können - wie das Abdeckelement - frei im Raum hängen. Alternativ können sie mit Seitenbereichen, die seitlich über die Abdeckelemente hinausragen können, in Führungselemente, bspw. Führungsschienen, eingreifen. Wie bereits zuvor erwähnt, kann jedoch wahlweise eines oder mehrere der Wickelelemente drehbar und in vorgegebener Höhe gelagert sein, so dass keine vollständiges Freigabe der zu bedeckenden Öffnung möglich ist, sondern nur eine wahlweise Bedeckung mit einer bzw. eine teilweise Bedeckung mit mehreren der vorhandenen Oberflächen.According to an advantageous aspect of the present invention, the winding elements are not firmly anchored in the direction of movement of the cover, but perform during the winding process directed in the direction of movement of the cover movement, resulting from the shortening or extension of the exposed surface of the respective surface path. In a hanging embodiment of the present invention, the winding element moves upwards during the winding process and down during the unwinding operation unless another overlying winding element performs a winding operation which compensates for the absolute upward or downward movement of the lower winding element. The winding elements can - like the cover - hang freely in the room. Alternatively, they can engage with side areas which can protrude laterally beyond the cover elements into guide elements, for example guide rails. As already mentioned above, however, optionally one or more of the winding elements can be rotatable and mounted at a predetermined height, so that a complete release of the opening to be covered is not possible, but only an optional covering with one or a partial covering with several of the existing surfaces ,

Der Antrieb der Wickelelemente - dies sind insbesondere bekannte Wickelrohre, Wickelstangen oder dergleichen - kann wahlweise manuell, elektromotorisch oder auf sonstige Weise erfolgen. Bspw. können Motorumdrehungen mittels Kardanwellen, Zahnriemen- oder Keilriemenmechanismen auf die Wickelelemente übertragen werden, oder Motoren können jeweils innerhalb der Wickelelemente angeordnet sein. Derartige Wickelantriebe sind bekannt und nicht Teil der vorliegenden Erfindung. Sie werden daher an dieser Stelle nicht näher erläutert. Beispiele für Antriebe von Wickelelementen, wie sie im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung verwendet werden können, finden sich unter anderem in der DE 202 14 076 U1 , in der EP 0 567 030 A2 , in der DE 203 20 335 U1 oder in der DE 103 36 944 A1 .The drive of the winding elements - these are in particular known winding tubes, winding rods or the like - can be done either manually, by electric motor or otherwise. For example. Engine revolutions can be transmitted to the winding elements by means of cardan shafts, toothed belt or V-belt mechanisms, or motors can each be arranged within the winding elements. Such winding drives are known and not part of the present invention. They are therefore not explained in detail at this point. Examples of drives of winding elements, as they can be used in the context of the present invention, can be found inter alia in the DE 202 14 076 U1 , in the EP 0 567 030 A2 , in the DE 203 20 335 U1 or in the DE 103 36 944 A1 ,

Nicht alle Oberflächenbahnen, die das Abdeckelement bilden, müssen ein Wickelelement aufweisen. Es ist ebenso möglich, dass eine Oberflächenbahn ohne Wickelelement an dem Abdeckelement beteiligt ist, welches dann weniger variabel einsetzbar ist. Bspw. ist es denkbar, dass eine Grenze zwischen zwei unterschiedlich gearteten Oberflächenbahnen mittels eines Einsatzes aus einer weiteren, wiederum anders beschaffenen Oberflächenbahn gestaltet ist.Not all surface webs forming the cover element must have a winding element. It is also possible that a surface web without winding element is involved in the cover, which is then used less variable. For example. It is conceivable that a boundary between two different surface webs is designed by means of an insert from another, in turn differently designed surface track.

Nicht alle Oberflächenbahnen müssen jeweils die selbe Länge aufweisen. Grundsätzlich sind nahezu beliebige unterschiedliche oder gleiche Längen möglich. Eine zuoberst angeordnete Oberflächenbahn kann bspw. am unteren Ende ein Wickelelement aufweisen, so dass bei dessen Drehung ein doppellagiges Aufwickeln der ersten Oberflächenbahn sowie einer sich daran anschließenden zweiten Oberflächenbahn erfolgt. Die zweite Oberflächenbahn ist vorzugsweise länger als die erste Bahn, bspw. doppelt so lang wie diese. Am unteren Ende kann die zweite Oberflächenbahn ein weiteres Wickelelement aufweisen, so dass eine variable Abdeckung einer zu bedeckenden Fläche mittels der ersten und/oder der zweiten Oberflächenbahn bzw. deren Freilegung bei vollständig aufgerollter erster und zweiter Bahn ermöglicht ist.Not all surface webs must each have the same length. Basically, almost any different or equal lengths are possible. An uppermost arranged surface web may, for example, at the lower end have a winding element, so that when it rotates a double-layer winding of the first surface web and an adjoining second surface web takes place. The second surface web is preferably longer than the first web, for example twice as long as this. At the lower end, the second surface web can have a further winding element, so that a variable covering of a surface to be covered by means of the first and / or the second surface web or its exposure is made possible with fully rolled up first and second web.

Die zuoberst angeordnete Oberflächenbahn weist erfindungsgemäß an einer Oberkante eine starre Befestigung auf. Bspw. kann die Oberkante des obersten Abschnitts des Abschirmelements starr an einem festen Gebäudeteil, bspw. an einer Außenwand befestigt sein, so dass das obere Ende der Wickelvorrichtung in fester Position verankert ist. Die Befestigung kann alternativ durch die Verbindung mit einer starren Halteeinrichtung, bspw. einer Schiene erfolgen. Diese Schiene kann wiederum fest an einem Gebäudeteil angebracht sein. Alternativ kann sie auch mit einer Hebevorrichtung kombiniert sein, die für ein gleichmäßiges Heben oder Senken der Schiene sorgen kann. Mittels einer solchen Variante kann bspw. durch Absenken der gesamten Wickelvorrichtung in den Bereich der Gebäude- oder Raumöffnung hinein eine vollständige oder teilweise Freistellung der Gebäudeöffnung von oben her erfolgen, ohne dass der Lichteinfall bzw. die Luftzirkulation durch eine Gewebebahn behindert wird.The uppermost arranged surface web has according to the invention on a top edge to a rigid attachment. For example. For example, the upper edge of the uppermost portion of the shielding member may be rigidly secured to a fixed part of the building, for example, to an outer wall, so that the upper end of the winding apparatus is anchored in a fixed position. Alternatively, the attachment can be effected by the connection to a rigid holding device, for example a rail. This rail can in turn be fixedly attached to a part of the building. Alternatively, it can also be combined with a lifting device that can provide for a uniform lifting or lowering of the rail. By means of such a variant, for example, by lowering the entire winding device in the area of the building or room opening into a complete or partial exemption of the building opening from above, without the incidence of light or air circulation is hindered by a fabric web.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann eine erste Oberflächenbahn zur Ermöglichung einer Luftzirkulation sowie zur Freigabe eines Lichteinfalls von außen vorgesehen sein. Hierzu kann diese Oberflächenbahn bspw. ein weitmaschiges Gittergewebe oder alternativ eine Anzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Seilen, Schnüren oder dergleichen sein. Eine zweite, mit der ersten Oberflächen- bahn fest verbundene Oberflächenbahn ist erfindungsgemäß dichter gewebt bzw. von geschlossener Struktur, bspw. eine Kunststoffplane, so dass ein Lichteinfall mehr oder weniger verhindert und eine Luftzirkulation ebenfalls mehr oder weniger unterbunden wird. Beide Oberflächenbahnen sind auf jeweils ihnen zugeordnete Wickelelemente aufwickelbar. Mittels einer derartig ausgeführten erfindungsgemäßen Wickelvorrichtung kann eine Fläche, bspw. eine Gebäudeöffnung, entweder vollständig mit der ersten Oberflächenbahn und somit licht- und luftdurchlässig bedeckt sein, oder vollständig mit der zweiten Oberflächenbahn und somit licht- und luftundurchlässig bedeckt sein, oder in einem beliebigen Verhältnis in einem oberen Bereich mit der ersten Oberflächenbahn und somit licht- und luftdurchlässig und in einem unteren Bereich mit der zweiten Oberflächenbahn und somit licht- und luftundurchlässig bedeckt sein. Insbesondere in Tierställen ist diese Ausführungsform der Erfindung von Vorteil, da sie jederzeit einen zugluftgeschützten, bodennahen Bereich sicherstellen kann, und gleichzeitig ein bedarfsgerechtes Lüften und/oder Belichten bzw. ein Bereitstellen eines Sicht- und/oder Insektenschutzes im oberen Bereich ermöglicht.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a first surface track may be provided to allow air circulation and to release light from outside. For this purpose, this surface web, for example, a wide-mesh fabric or alternatively a number of juxtaposed ropes, cords or the like. A second surface web fixedly connected to the first surface web is, according to the invention, densely woven or of a closed structure, for example a plastic tarpaulin, so that a light incidence is more or less prevented and an air circulation is also more or less prevented. Both surface webs are wound on their respective associated winding elements. By means of such a winding device according to the invention, a surface, for example. A building opening, either completely covered with the first surface web and thus permeable to light and air, or completely covered with the second surface web and thus light and air impermeable, or in any ratio be covered in an upper region with the first surface web and thus light and air permeable and in a lower region with the second surface web and thus light and air impermeable. In particular, in animal stables, this embodiment of the invention is advantageous because it can ensure at any time a zugluftgeschützten, near-ground area, while allowing needs-based ventilation and / or exposure or providing a visual and / or insect protection in the upper area.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht es auf einfache Weise, mittels der Wickelvorrichtung in einem Arbeitsgang wahlweise eine Belüftung, eine Belichtung, eine Beschattung, einen Sicht-, Insekten-, Wind- oder Regenschutz zu gewährleisten und die zu bedeckende Fläche konstant mit einem Teil des Abdeckelements bedeckt zu halten oder alternativ freizugeben. Darüber hinaus sind vielfältige weitere Anwendungsgebiete denkbar und möglich, bspw. die Realisierung variabel einsetzbarer Wärme-, Schall-, UV- oder Brandschutzwände.The invention makes it possible in a simple manner, by means of the winding device in one operation optionally a ventilation, an exposure, a shading, a visual, insect, wind or rain protection and the area to be covered constantly covered with a portion of the cover hold or alternatively release. In addition, a variety of other applications are conceivable and possible, for example. The realization of variably usable heat, sound, UV or fire walls.

Durch die Erfindung ist es ermöglicht, die zu bedeckende Fläche mit den verschiedenen Oberflächenarten variabel zu bedecken und die unterschiedlichen Materialeigenschaften der einzelnen Oberflächenarten gezielt einzusetzen. So können bspw. wechselweise Gittergewebe zur Belüftung und geschlossene Gewebe, Gewirke oder Strukturen (z.B. Planen oder Folien) zum Windschutz eingesetzt werden. Eine im vorliegenden Zusammenhang als Oberflächen- oder Gewebeart bezeichnete Fläche kann aus unterschiedlichen Geweben bestehen, wenn deren physikalische Eigenschaften ähnlich oder gleich sind (z.B. Licht- oder Luftdurchlässigkeit). Der Einsatz von Bändern oder Seilen, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel noch näher erläutert, kann der Materialersparnis und der leichteren Montage dienen. Bei einer derartigen Variante kann die obere, weitmaschigere Gewebeart durch vertikal verlaufende Seile, Schnüre oder Bänder ersetzt sein. Diese werden durch das ihnen zugeordnete Wickelelement in gleicher Weise auf- oder abgerollt wie dies bei einer Gewebe- oder Folienbahn der Fall ist.By means of the invention, it is possible to variably cover the area to be covered with the various surface types and to selectively use the different material properties of the individual surface types. For example, alternating mesh fabrics for ventilation and closed fabrics, knits or structures (eg tarpaulins or foils) can be used for wind protection. An im present context referred to as surface or tissue type may consist of different tissues, if their physical properties are similar or the same (eg light or air permeability). The use of bands or ropes, as explained in more detail in the embodiment, can be used to save material and easier installation. In such a variant, the upper, weitmaschigere tissue type may be replaced by vertically extending ropes, cords or ribbons. These are wound or unwound in the same way by the winding element assigned to them as is the case with a fabric or film web.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Die Wickelvorrichtung 10 umfasst im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ein Abdeckelement 11, welches sich aus zwei unterschiedlich beschaffenen Oberflächenbahnen 12, 22 zusammensetzt. Eine erste Oberflächenbahn 12 ist mit einer oberen Längsseite 14 starr an einer Halterung 16 verankert. Eine untere Längsseite 18 der ersten Oberflächenbahn 12 ist mit einer oberen Längsseite 20 einer zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22 verbunden, deren untere Längsseite 24 lose nach unten hängen bzw. durch hier nicht dargestellte Führungselemente seitlich geführt sein kann. Ungefähr mittig zwischen oberer Längsseite 14 und unterer Längsseite 18 der ersten Oberflächenbahn 12 befindet sich ein erstes Wickelelement 26, das durch eine Rotation für ein doppellagiges Aufwickeln der ersten Gewebe- bzw. Oberflächenbahn 12 sorgen kann. Hierdurch wird auch die zweite Oberflächenbahn 22 nach oben gezogen, so dass eine zu bedeckende Fläche 28 mit der zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22 variabel bedeckbar ist. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die erste Oberflächenbahn 12 als lose gewebtes Netzgitter ausgebildet, während die zweite Oberflächenbahn 22 dichter gewebt ist oder aus einer geschlossenen Struktur - bspw. einer Folie oder Plane - bestehen kann. An der unteren Längsseite 24 der zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22 ist ein zweites Wickelelement 30 angeordnet, das durch eine von außen aufgebrachte Rotationsbewegung für ein einlagiges Aufrollen der zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22 von unten her sorgen kann.The schematic perspective views of FIGS. 1a to 1f illustrate the design and function of a winding device 10 according to the invention. The winding device 10 comprises in the illustrated embodiment, a cover 11, which is composed of two differently designed surface webs 12, 22. A first surface track 12 is provided with an upper longitudinal side 14 rigidly anchored to a bracket 16. A lower longitudinal side 18 of the first surface track 12 is connected to an upper longitudinal side 20 of a second surface track 22, the lower longitudinal side 24 hang down loosely or can be guided laterally by guide elements, not shown here. Approximately centrally between the upper longitudinal side 14 and the lower longitudinal side 18 of the first surface track 12 there is a first winding element 26, which can provide a rotation for a double-layer winding of the first fabric or surface web 12. As a result, the second surface web 22 is pulled upwards so that a surface 28 to be covered with the second surface web 22 is variably coverable. In the illustrated embodiment, the first surface web 12 is formed as a loosely woven net grid, while the second surface web 22 is more densely woven or from a closed structure - eg. A film or tarpaulin - may exist. On the lower longitudinal side 24 of the second surface track 22, a second winding element 30 is arranged, which can provide by an externally applied rotational movement for a single-layer curling of the second surface web 22 from below.

Die schematische Perspektivdarstellung der Fig. 1a zeigt die Wickelvorrichtung 10 im vollständig ausgerollten Zustand. Beide Oberflächenbahnen 12 und 22 sind hier auf ihre jeweilige volle Länge entrollt dargestellt. Das Abdeckelement 11 kann grundsätzlich aus beliebig vielen derartigen Oberflächenbahnen, die jeweils bevorzugt unterschiedliche Eigenschaften bezüglich ihrer Durchlässigkeit für Luft, Licht, Wärme, Schall, etc. aufweisen, bestehen und somit nahezu beliebig lang sein.The schematic perspective view of Fig. 1a shows the winding device 10 in the fully unrolled state. Both surface webs 12 and 22 are shown unrolled here to their respective full length. The cover element 11 can in principle consist of any number of such surface webs, which preferably each have different properties with regard to their permeability to air, light, heat, sound, etc., and thus can be of almost any length.

In der vollständig entrollten Form (Fig. 1a) findet die erfindungsgemäße Wickelvorrichtung 10 in der Praxis normalerweise keine Anwendung, da das Abdeckelement 11 deutlich länger ist als die zu bedeckende Fläche 28. Durch eine entsprechende Wicklung des Abdeckelementes 11 auf die Wickelelemente 26, 30 wird die Länge des Abdeckelementes 11 an die Größe der zu bedeckenden Fläche 28 angepasst.In the completely unrolled form ( Fig. 1a ), the winding device 10 according to the invention is normally not used in practice, since the cover 11 is significantly longer than the surface to be covered 28. By a corresponding winding of the cover 11 on the winding elements 26, 30, the length of the cover 11 to the size of adapted to be covered area 28.

Die zu bedeckende Fläche 28 kann bspw. eine Gebäudeöffnung, eine Gebäudeseitenwand o. dgl. sein. Die zu bedeckende Fläche 28 kann grundsätzlich jedoch auch ein variabel zu öffnender bzw. zu verschließender Öffnungsquerschnitt innerhalb eines Gebäudes, einer Halle oder eines sonstigen Raumes sein, der mittels des Abdeckelementes 11 hinsichtlich seiner Durchlässigkeit für Licht, Luft, Schall, Wärme, UV-Strahlung o. dgl. variabel modifiziert werden kann.The area to be covered 28 may, for example, a building opening, a building side wall o. The like. Be. In principle, however, the area 28 to be covered may also be an opening cross-section which is to be opened or closed variably within a building, a hall or another room which can be opened by means of the cover 11 with respect to its permeability to light, air, sound, heat, UV radiation o. The like. Can be variably modified.

Bei einer zu bedeckenden Fläche 28, deren Höhe ungefähr der Länge der einzelnen Oberflächenbahnen 12, 22 entspricht, kann die Fläche 28 variabel vollständig mit der ersten Oberflächenbahn 12 (Fig. 1b) oder vollständig mit der zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22 (Fig. 1d) oder mit der ersten und der zweiten Oberflächenbahn in beliebigen Verhältnissen (Fig. 1c) verhängt oder alternativ geöffnet und schließlich vollständig freigelegt (Figuren 1e und 1f) werden.In the case of a surface 28 to be covered, the height of which corresponds approximately to the length of the individual surface webs 12, 22, the surface 28 can be variably completely filled with the first surface web 12 (FIG. Fig. 1b ) or completely with the second surface track 22 (FIG. Fig. 1d ) or with the first and the second surface web in any proportions ( Fig. 1c ) or alternatively opened and finally completely uncovered ( FIGS. 1e and 1f ) become.

Fig. 1b verdeutlicht eine erste Betriebsstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Wickelvorrichtung 10. Die zweite Oberflächenbahn 22 ist hier nahezu vollständig auf das an ihrer unteren Längsseite 24 angeordnete Wickelelement 30 aufgerollt. Bspw. kann sie somit auch eine unterhalb der zu bedeckenden Fläche 28 liegende, ebenfalls zu bedeckende Fläche 32 freilegen. Die erste bzw. obere zu bedeckende Fläche 28 ist in der dargestellten Betriebsstellung von der ersten Oberflächenbahn 12 verhängt, da diese sich im vollständig ausgerollten Zustand befindet. Das innerhalb des Bereichs der oberen Oberflächenbahn 12 angeordnete Wickelelement 26 ist in dieser Stellung völlig frei. Fig. 1b illustrates a first operating position of the winding device 10 according to the invention. The second surface web 22 is here almost completely rolled onto the arranged on its lower longitudinal side 24 winding element 30. For example. Thus, it can also expose a surface 32 which is also to be covered underneath the surface 28 to be covered. The first or upper surface to be covered 28 is imposed in the illustrated operating position of the first surface sheet 12, since it is in the fully unrolled state. The winding element 26 arranged within the region of the upper surface web 12 is completely free in this position.

Fig. 1c verdeutlicht eine teilweise aufgerollte erste Oberflächenbahn 12, bei der das erste Wickelelement 26 gegenüber der Darstellung der Fig. 1b gedreht ist, so dass die erste Oberflächenbahn 12 teilweise auf dieses aufgewickelt und somit verkürzt ist. Durch die feste Verbindung der ersten und der zweiten Oberflächenbahn kann hierbei das zweite Wickelelement 30 in der Weise mitgedreht werden, dass die zweite Oberflächenbahn 22 teilweise ausgerollt wird. Dies kann bspw. durch ein Festhalten des unteren Wickelelements 30 geschehen. Alternativ kann das untere Wickelelement 30 aber auch eine eigenständige Drehbewegung durch einen eigenen Antrieb ausführen. Die zweite Oberflächenbahn 22 wird auf diese Weise nachgeführt, um die zu bedeckende Fläche 28 teilweise zu verdecken. Bei gleichzeitiger bzw. synchroner Ausführung der beiden Drehbewegungen bleibt bei diesem Verstellvorgang die zu bedeckende Fläche 28 zu jeder Zeit mit den beiden Oberflächenbahnen 12, 22 bedeckt, es verändert sich lediglich das Verhältnis, in dem die beiden Oberflächenbahnen 12, 22 zur Abdeckung der Fläche 28 beitragen. Fig. 1c illustrates a partially rolled up first surface web 12, wherein the first winding element 26 with respect to the representation of the Fig. 1b is rotated, so that the first surface web 12 is partially wound on this and thus shortened. Due to the firm connection of the first and the second surface web, in this case the second winding element 30 can be rotated in such a way that the second surface web 22 is partially unrolled. This can happen, for example, by holding the lower winding element 30. Alternatively, however, the lower winding element 30 can also perform an independent rotational movement by its own drive. The second surface track 22 is tracked in this way to partially cover the area to be covered 28. In simultaneous or synchronous execution of the two rotational movements in this adjustment, the area to be covered 28 at all times covered with the two surface webs 12, 22, it changes only the ratio in which the two surface webs 12, 22 to cover the surface 28th contribute.

In Fig. 1d ist dieses Verhältnis zur zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22 hin verschoben. Die erste Oberflächenbahn 12 ist vollständig auf das erste Wickelelement 26 aufgerollt, wodurch die zu bedeckende Fläche 28 weitgehend von der zweiten Gewebebahn 22 bedeckt ist. Das zweite Wickelelement 30 kann hierbei nahezu vollständig ausgerollt sein.In Fig. 1d this ratio is shifted towards the second surface track 22. The first surface web 12 is completely rolled up onto the first winding element 26, whereby the surface 28 to be covered is largely covered by the second fabric web 22. The second winding element 30 can in this case be almost completely rolled out.

Die Figuren 1e und 1f zeigen, wie durch das Drehen des zweiten Wickelelements 30 ein Aufrollen der zweiten, unteren Oberflächenbahn 22 und somit ein Freilegen der Fläche 28 von unten her erfolgt. In Fig. 1f ist die vollständig offene Position der Wickelvorrichtung 10 erreicht, in der die Fläche 28 weitgehend freigelegt ist.The FIGS. 1e and 1f show how by rotating the second winding element 30, a rolling of the second lower surface web 22 and thus exposing the surface 28 from below takes place. In Fig. 1f the fully open position of the winding device 10 is reached, in which the surface 28 is largely exposed.

Die Figuren 1b bis 1d können auch dahingehend verstanden werden, dass das zweite Wickelelement 30 in seiner Höhe im Bereich an der Unterkante der zu bedeckenden Fläche 28 drehbar fixiert ist und nicht entsprechend der Figuren 1a, 1e und 1f in der Höhe verstellt werden kann. In diesem Fall kann die zu bedeckende Fläche 28 nicht vollständig freigelegt werden, sondern nur wahlweise mit der ersten Oberfläche 12 (Fig. 1b), mit der zweiten Oberfläche 22 (Fig. 1d) oder in beliebigem Teilungsverhältnis mit beiden Oberflächen 12, 22 (Fig. 1c) bedeckt werden. Bei dieser Variante genügt es, wenn nur das erste Wickelelement 26 entsprechend des gewünschten Bedeckungszustandes angetrieben und gedreht wird. Das zweite Wickelelement 30 kann hierbei passiv mitdrehen, da es seitlich gelagert ist. Dies setzt allerdings voraus, dass für eine Rückdrehbewegung des zweiten Wickelelementes 30 gesorgt ist, was bspw. mittels einer geeigneten Rückstellfeder, einer geeigneten anderen Spannvorrichtung o. dgl. erreicht werden kann.The FIGS. 1b to 1d can also be understood to mean that the second winding element 30 is rotatably fixed in its height in the region at the lower edge of the surface to be covered 28 and not according to the FIGS. 1a, 1e and 1f can be adjusted in height. In this case, the surface to be covered 28 can not be completely exposed, but only selectively with the first surface 12 (FIG. Fig. 1b ), with the second surface 22 (FIG. Fig. 1d ) or in any division ratio with both surfaces 12, 22 (FIG. Fig. 1c ). In this variant, it is sufficient if only the first winding element 26 is driven and rotated according to the desired coverage condition. The second winding element 30 can passively rotate here, since it is mounted laterally. This requires, however, that is provided for a reverse rotation of the second winding element 30, which, for example, by means of a suitable return spring, a suitable other clamping device o. The like. Can be achieved.

Die schematischen Perspektivansichten der Figuren 2a bis 2f verdeutlichen nochmals die entsprechenden in Figuren 1a bis 1f dargestellten Betriebslagen der Wickelvorrichtung 10. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht die obere Oberflächenbahn 12 aus mehreren, nebeneinander angeordneten Seilen, Schnüren oder Bändern, die analog zu dem Gittergewebe in Figuren 1a bis 1f zur Variation der Abdeckfläche auf das entsprechende Wickelelement 26 aufgerollt werden.The schematic perspective views of FIGS. 2a to 2f clarify again the corresponding in FIGS. 1a to 1f In the illustrated embodiment, the upper surface web 12 of a plurality of juxtaposed ropes, cords or ribbons, which is analogous to the mesh fabric in FIGS. 1a to 1f be rolled onto the corresponding winding element 26 for varying the covering surface.

Die schematische Perspektivansicht der Fig. 3 verdeutlicht eine weitere Variante, bei der das zweite Wickelelement 30 nicht an der unteren Längsseite 24 der zweiten Oberflächenbahn 22, sondern ungefähr in deren Mitte angeordnet ist, so dass auch das zweite Wickelelement 30 für ein doppellagiges Aufwickeln der entsprechenden Gewebebahn 22 sorgen kann, wie dies bei der ersten Gewebebahn 12 gemäß der Figuren 1a bis 1f und 2a bis 2f der Fall ist.The schematic perspective view of Fig. 3 illustrates a further variant in which the second winding element 30 is not arranged on the lower longitudinal side 24 of the second surface web 22, but approximately in the center, so that Also, the second winding element 30 can provide for a two-ply winding the corresponding fabric web 22, as in the first fabric web 12 according to the FIGS. 1a to 1f and 2a to 2f the case is.

Es sollte erwähnt werden, dass bei der Variante entsprechend Fig. 3 die untere Längsseite 24 der zweiten Oberfläche 22 wahlweise auch am unteren Bereich der zu bedeckenden Fläche 28 bzw. der Öffnung befestigt sein kann, bspw. durch eine starre Verankerung. In diesem Fall ist kein vollständiges Freigeben der Öffnung möglich, sondern nur eine wahlweise bzw. teilweise Bedeckung mit der ersten Oberfläche 12 bzw. der zweiten Oberfläche 22. Ggf. können hierbei die Antriebe (nicht dargestellt) der beiden Wickelelemente 26 und 30 in einer vorgebbaren Synchronisation - wahlweise mit festen Umdrehungsverhältnissen zueinander - betrieben werden, um eine gleichmäßige und straffe Bespannung aufrechtzuerhalten und um ein Durchhängen des Abdeckelementes 11 zu vermeiden.It should be mentioned that in the variant accordingly Fig. 3 The lower longitudinal side 24 of the second surface 22 can optionally also be fastened to the lower region of the surface 28 to be covered or the opening, for example by a rigid anchoring. In this case, no complete release of the opening is possible, but only an optional or partial covering with the first surface 12 and the second surface 22. Ggf. In this case, the drives (not shown) of the two winding elements 26 and 30 in a predetermined synchronization - either with fixed rotational ratios to each other - are operated to maintain a uniform and tight clothing and to prevent sagging of the cover 11.
