Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding device for fixing at least one guide cable of a shading or light control system with an attachable to a building element mounting flange and with a boom, which faces away from the mounting flange end portion with its one of the number of guide cables corresponding number of cable shots at its outer end is provided.
  • the holding device is preferably used for shading or light control systems, which are designed for example as blinds, Venetian blinds or the like.
  • the guide ropes are stretched down on a building at the facilities listed above.
  • console-like holding devices are used, which are attached to a building part, for example, on a window, a facade profile or facade cladding elements.
  • the mounting flange is provided with two holes to fix it depending on the type of building part by means of screws.
  • the opposite cable receptacles are provided with holes or oblong holes into which the guide cable is introduced. By the distance of the cable receptacles to the mounting flange and the distance of the respective guide cable is determined to the building.
  • the guide cables must be fixed with a specified tension on the rope receptacles.
  • the holding devices of the mounting flange is formed with the boom as a one-piece molding. This results in that relatively much time and manual skill is required for adjusting the tension of the respective guide cable. It is in fact necessary that the guide rope on the one hand sufficiently stretched and on the other hand jammed or locked in this cocked position.
  • a retainer for an awning which has an upper support arm and below a movement arm.
  • the upper support arm is arranged on a bracket defined on the building side and has on this side a pair of guide rollers, wherein the one guide roller contacts the building-side surface and the other guide roller the opposite surface.
  • the bracket is arcuate, so that the support arm is pivoted when the guide rollers are in this bent region.
  • the free end of the support arm is angled and connected by a cross-beam with the awning.
  • the lower arm is only pivotable about a fixed axis.
  • the free end of the upper support arm is connected via two flexible traction means with the free end portion of the movement arm, wherein a traction means is guided over the region of the pivot axis.
  • the upper support arm In the retracted position of the awning, the upper support arm is vertical, with the free end just below the roller.
  • the support arm When extending the awning, the support arm is pivoted to a horizontal position and then moved downwards, in the direction of the movement arm. The movement arm is transferred to a vertical position.
  • the flexible tension elements When retracting the awning, the flexible tension elements are tensioned, so that this movement is supported on later extension.
  • the present invention has for its object to design a holding device of the type described in more detail in a structurally simple manner so that the assembly of the guide cable or the guide cables simplified, and that they can be under such tension that damage to the system can be excluded.
  • the object is achieved by the boom and the mounting flange are connected by a pivot bearing, and that by means of a locking device, the end position of the boom is fixed, with each guide rope clamping piece is clamped, and each guide rope by means of its clamping piece, which by means of a Force accumulator is resilient, is fixed to the associated cable receptacle.
  • Each guide cable can now be fixed before the position of the boom relative to the mounting flange is fixed by the blocking device.
  • the clamping piece defining each guide cable is fastened to the guide cable in the not yet tensioned state of the guide cable. This allows rotation of the boom due to the pivot bearing, since first the boom can be brought into an angular position to the mounting flange. The boom can then be rotated so that it reaches its end position.
  • the blocking device prevents that the tension of each guide rope is reduced to maintain the voltage are stored energy, since in the holding device according to the invention length tolerances and strains can not be avoided. Should, however, due to a false fixation of the guide cable defining clamp it the voltage too large or Too small, an appropriate correction can be made at any time.
  • the pivot bearing and the blocking device is formed in each case from a bearing fork having a recess and bores, a bearing bracket and a bolt, which penetrates holes of the bearing fork and the bearing bracket.
  • the boom is designed as a flat part in the holding devices in question. It is therefore contemplated that the facing away from each other upper and lower end portions of the mounting flange are designed as storage forks. The bearing tabs containing bores are then formed on the associated end region of the arm. In the final position, the bolts are horizontal.
  • the mounting flange is also designed as a flat part.
  • each cable receptacle includes a stepped bore in which the clamping piece is fixed, the larger diameter is directed downwards, that is, it is associated with the blocking device.
  • This clamping piece is then supported on the annular surface in the transition region between the larger and smaller diameter.
  • the clamping piece is designed as a clamping ring.
  • each cable receptacle is provided with an insertion slot running in the longitudinal direction of the cable receptacle.
  • the clamping piece can be connected to the guide cable before it is introduced into the stepped bore, since the guide cable is initially still de-energized due to the position of the boom.
  • At the free end of the boom could be attached or molded a rope mount or two spaced cable shots.
  • the bolts of the pivot bearing and the blocking device could be positively inserted into the holes of the bearing forks, so that only the boom can rotate on the pin of the pivot bearing.
  • the in the FIGS. 1 to 3 holding device 1 shown completely consists of a mounting flange 2 and a boom 3, which is provided at its free, the mounting flange 2 remote end portion with two cable receptacles 4, 5, in which in the FIGS. 4 and 5 shown guide cables 16 are introduced and can be fixed.
  • the mounting flange 2 is plate-shaped and provided with two holes 6, preferably with countersunk holes 6 to set by means of screws the mounting flange 2 in a conventional manner to a building element.
  • the upper and lower end portion of the mounting flange 2 is designed in the manner of a bearing fork and each bearing fork is provided with two aligned holes 7, 8. As the FIG. 1 shows, the holes 7, 8 are profiled. Like from the FIGS. 1 to 3 can be seen, engages in the recesses 9 of each bearing fork provided with a bore 10 bearing bracket 11 a.
  • the holes 7, 8 and 10 are aligned with each other.
  • the boom 3 is inserted with its upper bearing bracket 11 in the recess 9 of the upper bearing fork.
  • a pivot bearing (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) created so that the boom 3 is mounted rotatably relative to the mounting flange 2.
  • the cable receptacles 4, 5 are provided with stepped holes 12, 13, wherein the area with the larger diameter of the pivot bearing (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) facing away, that is, this is the lower area.
  • the upper area corresponds to the diameter of the guide cable 16.
  • FIG. 5 shows that a force to be regarded as constant tensile force is exerted on the fixed by means of the retaining ring 15 guide cable 16 by the compression spring 14. This compensates for tolerances and strains.
  • FIG. 1 further shows that the thickness of the boom 3 is reduced in the central region.
  • the boom 3 is formed in its free end portion by the two cable receptacles 4, 5, which are laterally to the plane of the boom 3.
  • the distance of the guide cables 16 from a building element can be determined by the length of the boom 3.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. It is essential that the boom 3 can first be brought by means of a pivot bearing 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 in such a position to the mounting flange 2, that the introduction of the guide cable 16 and the compression spring 14 in the stepped holes 12, 13 in the dead state the respective guide cable 16 can be made, and that the voltage is generated by pivoting the boom 3. It is then particularly advantageous if acting on the guide cable 16 via the compression spring 14 as a constant to be regarded force.
