Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ball coupling for slat blinds according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Ball couplings are used to couple the hanging straps of slat blinds with the connecting wires of curtain turning and lifting devices.
  • the slat curtain In the horizontal position of the slats, the slat curtain allows complete penetration of the slat curtain with light, resp. the horizontal view through the Lamellenbehang is thus granted virtually unhindered, while touching in the vertical position, the leading edges and trailing edges of superimposed slats and thus form practically a completely closed surface of the Lamellenbehanges. In between virtually any pivotal positions of the slats can be adjusted, depending on the needs of the user.
  • turning devices are arranged above the slat curtain, in which Usually on the elevator axis of the slat curtain. These turning devices are actuated by the elevator shaft and are pivoted in accordance with the direction of rotation of the elevator axle between two end positions. From the turning device protrude down two ends of a pigtail, which rests against rotation on a thumbwheel of the turning device and whose two ends according to the pivoting movement of the turning device upwards resp. to be moved down. In the region of their ends, these connecting strands generally each have a spherical body fixedly connected to the pigtail as a locking member, respectively. Stop element on. The two ends of the pigtail are now connected via ball couplings with the ends of Behangbpers.
  • these ball couplings have a solid plastic body, which has at one end a funnel-shaped receptacle with lateral slot for the spherical body of the pigtail and on the other side has a through opening for the passage of the end of the Behangbandes.
  • a screwable transversely to this opening in the direction of the hanging strap screw is arranged in the plastic body, with which the Behangband can be clamped in the desired position.
  • the slat blinds are usually arranged on the outside of house facades, the ball couplings are exposed in particular to strongly changing temperature fluctuations. These temperature fluctuations in plastics very quickly lead to signs of fatigue, which lead to failure of the plastic body and thus interrupt the connection between the hanging strap and pigtail. This leads, for example, that in a first phase, the defect of only a single or only a few ball couplings, the curtain has a partially irregular lamellar image and can not be fully pivoted. With the defect of practically all ball couplings, the curtain can not be pivoted at all.
  • Such fatigue phenomena are reinforced by the attachment of the Behangbandes with a screw, as these can be used with improper operation with too much force, which can lead to excessive stresses in the body of the ball coupling and thus cracks.
  • the object of the present invention was to find a ball coupling which does not have these disadvantages and even under extreme temperature conditions has a high stability and durability.
  • the control wires of Behang mindfulvorraumen wherein in the region of the ends of the control strands spherical bodies are arranged according to the invention consists of a bow-shaped body with a head part and two legs projecting therefrom.
  • an opening for the passage of the control wire is formed in the head part, in which opening a slot opens, which continues into a leg and there opens into a recess.
  • an opening is formed in a leg, in which a protruding on the other leg and pointing between the legs in the direction of the opening tongue protrudes upon compression of the legs, and the legs have at their free ends means for mutual, releasable engagement.
  • the ball coupling according to the invention can be easily pushed onto the control strand of the hanging-turning device and is held in its position by the spherical bodies under tensile load.
  • the associated hanging strap can be threaded between the thighs and is also fixed in position when the thighs are compressed by the tongue.
  • the ball coupling is fixed by the latching in this state.
  • the ball coupling consists of a sheet material, preferably of a metal, preferably of stainless steel.
  • a metal preferably of stainless steel.
  • This is particularly advantageous a very high temperature resistance and resistance to change achieved, which leads to a very long life of the ball coupling.
  • another material suitable for this purpose be this made of metal or possibly of a special plastic.
  • Elasticity in the foreground During the assembly process, ie when inserting and fixing the Behangbandes and the connecting wires, only elastic and no permanent deformation of the body take place.
  • the head part is substantially formed as a rectangular plate, protrude from the two longer side edges, the two legs about a round bending edge substantially at right angles.
  • a part can advantageously be produced very easily and inexpensively in large quantities.
  • the opening in the head part is designed as a substantially circular opening with an inside projecting collar whose opening diameter corresponds approximately to the width of the control wires.
  • the control wire can be easily inserted into the ball coupling and can also rotate in operation about its longitudinal axis, without causing chafing and thus to a possible weakening of the control wire.
  • the collar the edge of the opening is reinforced and thus withstands heavy use.
  • the collar represents an optimal stop for the spherical body of the control strands when it is formed projecting in the same direction as the legs from the head part ago.
  • the width of the slot is at least equal to or greater than the thickness of the control strand. It should be formed between the circular opening and the slot a constriction. Thus, the control wire can be easily inserted laterally over the slot in the ball coupling, without the need for a tool would be necessary and can also be removed again from the ball coupling if necessary.
  • the recess in which the said slot opens has at least one free opening cross section, which is larger than the cross section of the spherical bodies of the control strands.
  • the end of the control wire which is located as a detent point of the spherical body, are simply inserted into the recess, and the strand are pulled over the slot in the opening of the head part.
  • the ball-shaped body of the control wire can then be used against this opening and arrives there in abutment.
  • the ball coupling is accurately positioned with respect to the control wire without the use of tools.
  • resilient tabs are further formed in at least one of the legs, preferably in both legs, in the region of the transition to the head part. These tabs resiliently abut against the spherical body of the control wire and fix it there releasably in this position. This prevents that the ball coupling inadvertently resp. independently shifting in relation to the control wire. A burden of this fixation takes place only over these tabs and does not affect the remaining areas of the ball coupling.
  • the load on a relatively thin layer of material only leads to an elastic deformation and not to an overload of the material, which in particular has a positive effect on the life of the ball coupling. It can not be changed by improper or incorrect manipulation.
  • the tongue is formed substantially perpendicular projecting from the leg and has at its free end preferably at least one tooth-shaped tip or a V-shaped groove.
  • the tongue can be brought with its tip practically perpendicular to the Behangband in abutment and engagement and causes an optimal jamming of the Behangbandes with the ball coupling.
  • the tips can penetrate, for example, in the braid of Behangbandes without violating the individual strands of the braid and thus weaken.
  • the tongue pushes the Behangband at this point in the opening in the leg, a double deflection of the Behangbandes is achieved. Through this double deflection, a reliable fixing of the Behangbandes is achieved in the ball coupling, which can also accommodate greater tensile forces in Behangband without the Behangband shifts in the ball coupling.
  • the breakthrough on an edge on a directed against the tongue web which is arranged offset at a small distance to the tongue, preferably arranged offset in the direction of the head part. This will be advantageously enhances the effect of the deflection of Behangbandes and achieved an additional clamping action between the web and the tongue.
  • a convexly convex bulge is formed inwardly in the direction of the tongue.
  • This bead can advantageously be achieved directly by appropriate bending of the sheet material of the leg at this point.
  • the breakthrough facing edge of the bead helps to guide the Behangband and thus ensure a secure and reliable clamping of the Behangbandes in the ball coupling.
  • the free end of one of the legs is bent inwardly toward the other leg and has an opening slot.
  • the Behangband can be inserted into the ball coupling and a lateral slipping or breaking out of the Behangbandes during clamping or in the working position is thus reliably prevented.
  • the opening slot has a latching edge into which a snap-in tongue formed on the free end of the other leg and preferably bent slightly outwards is resiliently latched.
  • the clamping position of the ball coupling can be reliably fixed with a simple tool.
  • this fixation can be solved with simple means again, for example, by raising the locking edge of the latching tongue by means of a screwdriver or similar tool.
  • the ball coupling according to the invention provides an easily manufactured, high-life part, even under adverse environmental influences, such as, in particular, large differences in temperature, which is suitable both for the original equipment of lamellar blinds and for the replacement of conventional ball couplings.
  • FIG 1 the view of a ball coupling according to the invention is shown in the working position, ie the Housing 1 of the ball coupling is connected to the control wire 2, which has at its end a spherical body 3 as a stop, and the Behangband 4 a slat gate.
  • FIG 2 the view drawing of the ball coupling of Figure 1 is shown.
  • the body 1 is bow-shaped and has a head part 5, which has a substantially rectangular base. From the head part 5 protrude on both sides of the two longer side edges two legs 6 and 7 from.
  • a circular opening 8 is advantageously formed in the middle, which has an inwardly directed collar 9.
  • the edge of the opening 8 is reinforced and can not unintentionally deform even at greater load.
  • a slot 10 is formed, which penetrates the collar 9 and is connected to the opening 8. The slot 10 extends from the head part 5 into the one leg 7, where it opens into a recess 7 formed in the leg 7. Between opening 8 and slot 10 is advantageously a constriction 10 'attached.
  • the recess 11 is shown particularly clearly in the plan view of the leg 7.
  • This recess 11 has an opening cross section, which allows to pass the spherical body 3 of the control wire 2 and to position between the two legs 6 and 7.
  • the slot 10 which opens from the recess 11 forth via the head part 5 in the opening 8.
  • a breakthrough 12 whose function will be discussed later.
  • the width of the slot 10 is advantageously dimensioned such that it corresponds approximately to the diameter of the control cord 2 or is slightly larger.
  • the control wire 2 can be pulled here easily and without damage.
  • the diameter of the opening 8 advantageously has the same dimension. This can prevent the control wire 2 from being damaged by the edges of the opening 8 when the ball coupling is rotated relative to the control wire 2. This also contributes to the collar 9, which is advantageously bent up to the inside of the body 1 and is thus rounded.
  • FIG 5 the side view is shown on the body 1 of the ball coupling. Here is particularly well from the leg 6 projecting inside tongue 13 can be seen.
  • This tongue 13 is arranged so that it is positioned approximately in the middle opposite the opening 12 of the leg 7. Thus, the free end of the tongue 13 penetrates into the opening of the opening 12 when the two legs 6 and 7 are pressed against each other.
  • the two tabs 14 and 15 can be seen, which are each formed in the legs 6 and 7 resiliently inward in the direction of the opening 8. These tabs 14 and 15 lock the spherical Body 3 of the control wire 2 in its struck from the inside against the opening 8 position, as can be seen particularly clearly from Figure 1, for example.
  • the tab 15 is divided by the gap 10 and thus has two tongues, while the tab 14 is integrally formed.
  • the tabs 14 and 15 can be easily preformed bent inward, thus exhibiting a defined clamping action.
  • the free end of the tongue 13 preferably has two peaks resp. a V-shaped groove on to an optimal clamping respectively. Detecting effect in the Behangband 4 to achieve, as for example, from the view of Figure 6 shows particularly clearly.
  • the formation of the inwardly bent tab 7 'at the free end of the leg 7 clearly visible.
  • an opening slot 18 is formed, through which the end of the Behangbandes 4 can be inserted.
  • the hanging strap 4 is laterally secured against slipping or shifting out of the clamping position within the body 1.
  • the outer edge of the opening slot 18 serves as a locking edge 19, against which a locking tongue 20 formed at the end of the other leg 6 can engage and thus fixes the two legs 6 and 7 in a closed position pressed against each other.
  • Within the locking edge 19 may advantageously be formed a cutout, which allows the penetration of the tip of a tool in the closed position of the body 1.
  • the positive connection of the two ends of the two legs 6 and 7 can be easily solved and thus the body 1 can be opened. It is of great advantage that the closure of the body 1 and thus the fixing of the Behangbandes 4 in the ball coupling with a simple tool, such as a Teisszange can be made. To release the connection, a tool, such as a screwdriver, is needed. Another great advantage is that the clamping connection due to the given geometry a defined, always equal clamping force exerts on the Behangband 4, and thus there is no risk that by improper operation too much force is exerted on the body 1, which these weaknesses or even could damage.
  • a major advantage of the ball coupling according to the invention lies in its resistance to weathering and temperature insensitivity, which predestines its use even under climactically strongly changing conditions.
  • the inventive ball coupling in addition to the original equipment of slat blinds advantageous for the replacement resp. Replacement of existing ball couplings are used.
