Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dachfenster-Rollladen mit einem Rollladengehäuse für die Aufnahme eines aufrollbaren Rollladenpanzers und einer an das Rollladengehäuse anschließenden und mehrere Abschnitte aufweisenden Rollladenschiene zur Führung des abgerollten Rollladenpanzers.The invention relates to a skylight roller shutter with a roller shutter housing for receiving a retractable roller shutter armor and a subsequent to the roller shutter housing and a plurality of sections having roller shutter rail for guiding the unrolled roller shutter.

Bei Dachfenstern ist es wünschenswert, einen Außenrollladen als Sonnenschutz und Einbruchsschutz vorzusehen. Dachfenster sind in der Regel klappbar, d.h. um eine an einer gemeinsamen Kante von Fensterflügel und Fensterrahmen angeordneten Achse drehbar. Für derartige Fenster sind Dachfenster-Rollladen bekannt, die außen an dem Dachfenster angeordnet sind und beim Aufklappen des Dachfensters zusammen mit diesem gedreht werden.For skylights, it is desirable to provide an outdoor roller shutter for sun protection and burglary protection. Skylights are usually hinged, i. about a arranged on a common edge of window sash and window frame axis rotatable. For such windows skylights are known, which are arranged on the outside of the skylight and are rotated when the roof window is opened together with this.

Moderne Dachfenster können darüber hinaus auch schwingbar sein, d.h. um eine von der gemeinsamen Kante von Fensterflügel und Fensterrahmen beabstandeten Achse drehbar, beispielsweise um eine Reinigung der Außenseite der Fensterscheibe auch von innerhalb des Gebäudes zu ermöglichen. Derartige Dachfenster werden beispielsweise von der Roto Bauelemente Vertriebs-GmbH im Internet unter der Adresse www.roto-bauelemente.de unter der Bezeichnung Klapp-Schwingfenster angeboten. Für derartige Dachfenster werden bei Bedarf Innenrollläden eingesetzt, die allerdings hinsichtlich des Sonnenschutzes und vor allem hinsichtlich des Einbruchschutzes weniger wirksam sind.In addition, modern skylights can also be swingable, ie rotatable about an axis spaced from the common edge of casement and window frame, for example, to allow cleaning of the outside of the window pane also from within the building. Such roof windows are, for example, by Roto Bauelemente Vertriebs-GmbH on the Internet at the address www.roto-bauelemente.de under the name folding swing window offered. For such skylights, if necessary, inner shutters are used, which are less effective in terms of sun protection and especially with regard to burglary protection.

Aus der DE 38 26 189 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung für einen Dachrollladen bekannt mit einem Rollladengehäuse für die Aufnahme eines aufrollbaren Rollladenpanzers und einer an das Rollladengehäuse anschließenden und einen ersten und einen zweiten Abschnitt aufweisenden Rollladenschiene zur Führung des abgerollten Rollladenpanzers, wobei der zweite Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene an einer von dem Rollladengehäuse beabstandeten Position gegenüber dem an dem Rollladengehäuse festgelegten ersten Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene schwenkbar ist.From the DE 38 26 189 A1 a device for a roof roller shutter is known with a roller shutter housing for receiving a retractable roller shutter and a roller shutter to the shutter housing followed and a first and second portion having roller shutter track for guiding the unrolled roller shutter, wherein the second portion of the roller shutter rail at a spaced from the roller shutter housing position relative to the fixed to the roller shutter housing first portion of the roller shutter rail is pivotable.

Aus der DE 296 09 957 U1 ist ein Rollladen bekannt, bei dem die Führungsschienen für den Rollladenpanzer mittels eines Schwenkgelenks gegenüber dem Rollladenkasten schwenkbar sind.From the DE 296 09 957 U1 a roller shutter is known in which the guide rails for the roller shutter by means of a pivot joint relative to the roller shutter box are pivotable.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Dachfenster-Rollladen bereitzustellen, welcher die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a roof window roller shutter, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch den im Anspruch 1 bestimmten Dachfenster-Rollladen gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen bestimmt.This object is achieved by the roof window roller shutter defined in claim 1. Particular embodiments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Rollladen ist an zwei voneinander beabstandeten Positionen schwenkbar oder knickbar, nämlich einmal im Bereich des Rollladengehäuses und einmal an einer Position, die etwa in der Mitte des Dachfensters liegt.The roller shutter according to the invention is pivotable or bendable at two spaced-apart positions, namely once in the region of the roller shutter housing and once at a position which lies approximately in the middle of the roof window.

Durch die Schwenkbarkeit im Bereich des Rollladengehäuses kann das Rollladengehäuse fest mit dem Bauwerk, insbesondere mit dem am Bauwerk festgelegten Rahmen des Dachfensters verbunden werden. Dadurch bleibt die Position des Rollladengehäuses beim Aufklappen des Dachfensters unverändert. Dies hat nicht nur Vorteile hinsichtlich der Montage des Rollladens, sondern vor allem hinsichtlich des Antriebs des Rollladens, der sowohl manuell oder motorisch erfolgen kann. So können bei einem manuellen Antrieb mittels einer Kurbel aufwendige Gelenkverbindungen entfallen, mittels denen nach dem Stand der Technik ein Auf- und Abrollen des Rollladens auch im aufgeklappten Zustand des Dachfensters ermöglicht wird.Due to the pivoting in the region of the roller shutter housing, the roller shutter housing can be firmly connected to the building, in particular with the frame of the roof window fixed to the building. As a result, the position of the roller shutter housing when unfolding the roof window remains unchanged. This not only has advantages in terms of mounting the shutter, but especially with regard to the drive of the shutter, which can be done either manually or by motor. Thus, in a manual drive by means of a crank complex articulated joints can be omitted, by means of which according to the prior art, a rolling and unrolling of the shutter is made possible even in the unfolded state of the roof window.

Durch die Schwenkbarkeit in dem vom Rollladengehäuse beabstandeten Bereich, insbesondere im mittleren oder oberen Bereich des Dachfensters, ist es möglich, auch Klapp-Schwingfenster mit einem Außenrollladen auszurüsten und dadurch den vollen Sonnenschutz und Einbruchsschutz zu gewährleisten.Due to the pivoting in the space spaced from the roller shutter housing area, in particular in the middle or upper area of the roof window, it is possible to equip hinged swing window with an external roller shutter and thereby ensure full protection against the sun and burglary.

In einer Ausführungsart ist der Schwenkwinkel, um den der erste Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse gedreht werden kann, nur so groß, dass der Fensterflügel des Dachfensters und damit die Rollladenschiene in eine waagrechte Position geklappt werden kann.
Der Schwenkwinkel ist beispielsweise so groß wie der Winkel der Dachneigung. In einer Ausführungsart ist dieser Schwenkwinkel kleiner als der Schwenkwinkel, um den der zweite Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene gedreht werden kann.In one embodiment, the pivot angle by which the first portion of the roller shutter rail relative to the roller shutter housing can be rotated, only so large that the window sash of the roof window and thus the roller shutter rail can be folded into a horizontal position.
The tilt angle is, for example, as large as the angle of the roof pitch. In one embodiment, this pivot angle is less than the pivot angle by which the second portion of the shutter rail relative to the first portion of the roller shutter rail can be rotated.

In einer Ausführungsart ist bei einem Schwenken des ersten Abschnitts der Rollladenschiene gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse ein Auf- und Abrollen des Rollladenpanzers noch möglich, wohingegen dies bei einem Schwenken des zweiten Abschnitts gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt nicht mehr oder jedenfalls nicht mehr in jedem Fall, d.h. bei jedem Schwenkwinkel, möglich ist. Insbesondere im Falle eines motorischen Antriebs kann der Rolladen einen Sensor aufweisen, mit dem das Schwenken des zweiten Abschnitts signalisierbar ist und der Antrieb daraufhin steuerungstechnisch blockierbar ist.In one embodiment, when the first section of the roller shutter rail is pivoted relative to the roller shutter housing, it is still possible to roll up and down the roller shutter, whereas in the case of a pivoting of the second section relative to the first section, this is no longer possible, or at any rate not in every case. at every swivel angle, is possible. In particular, in the case of a motor drive, the shutter may have a sensor with which the pivoting of the second section can be signaled and the drive is then blockable control technology.

Grundsätzlich können der erste, an das Rollladengehäuse anschließende Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene und der zweite Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene im Wesentlichen gleich lang sein. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Schwenkbarkeit des Rollladens und damit des Dachfensters etwa auf halber Höhe, was insbesondere für eine Reinigung des Dachfensters oder auch des Außenrollladens bequem ist; außerdem ergeben sich in diesem Fall aufgrund der in Bezug auf die mittlere Position der Schwenkachse im Wesentlichen ausgeglichenen Gewichtsverteilung vorteilhaft geringe Lagerkräfte.In principle, the first, adjoining the roller shutter housing portion of the roller shutter rail and the second portion of the roller shutter rail can be substantially the same length. This results a pivoting of the shutter and thus the roof window about halfway up, which is particularly convenient for cleaning the roof window or the outer roller shutter; In addition, in this case, due to the weight distribution, which is substantially balanced with respect to the middle position of the pivot axis, advantageously low bearing forces result.

In einer Ausführungsart ist der erste Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene kürzer als der zweite Abschnitt und die Länge des ersten Abschnitts beträgt insbesondere zwischen 50 und 100 %, insbesondere zwischen 70 und 90 % der Länge des zweiten Abschnitts. Dadurch ist die Schwenkachse in die obere Hälfte des Rollladens und damit des Dachfensters verschoben, wodurch die Handhabung beim Schwenken des zweiten Abschnitts gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt verbessert ist.In one embodiment, the first portion of the roller shutter track is shorter than the second section and the length of the first section is in particular between 50 and 100%, in particular between 70 and 90% of the length of the second section. As a result, the pivot axis is moved into the upper half of the shutter and thus the roof window, whereby the handling is improved when pivoting the second portion relative to the first section.

In einer Ausführungsart ist durch eine Verriegelungseinrichtung gewährleistet, dass entweder der erste Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse schwenkbar ist und gleichzeitig ein Schwenken des zweiten Abschnitts gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene blockiert ist, oder dass der zweite Abschnitt gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene schwenkbar ist und gleichzeitig ein Schwenken des ersten Abschnitts gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse blockiert ist. Diese Verriegelungseinrichtung kann auch durch das Dachfenster bereitgestellt werden, das entweder nur geklappt oder nur geschwenkt werden kann, aber nicht gleichzeitig geklappt und geschwenkt.In one embodiment, it is ensured by a locking device that either the first portion of the roller shutter rail relative to the roller shutter housing is pivotable and at the same time a pivoting of the second portion relative to the first portion of the roller shutter rail is blocked, or that the second portion relative to the first portion of the roller shutter rail is pivotable and at the same time a pivoting of the first portion is blocked relative to the roller shutter housing. This locking device can also be provided by the roof window, which can either only be folded or pivoted, but not folded and pivoted at the same time.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsart ist gleichzeitig ein Schwenken des ersten Abschnitts gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse und ein Schwenken des zweiten Abschnitts gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt möglich.In an alternative embodiment, pivoting of the first section relative to the roller shutter housing and pivoting of the second section relative to the first section are possible at the same time.

In einer Ausführungsart ist der Rollladenpanzer an den beiden stirnseitigen Enden seiner Lamellen jeweils in einer Rollladenschiene geführt. Die parallel zueinander verlaufenden Rollladenschienen weisen im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen ein U-Profil auf, wobei die offenen Seiten des U-Profils der beiden Rollladenschienen einander zugewandt sind. Mit einem inneren, dem Fenster zugewandten Schenkel des U-Profils sind die Rollladenschienen an dem Fensterrahmen festlegbar. An dem äußeren, dem Fenster abgewandten Schenkel des U-Profils kann insbesondere das Scharnier festgelegt werden, mit dem der erste und zweite Abschnitt der Rollladenschiene miteinander verbunden sind.In one embodiment, the roller shutter armor is guided at the two front ends of its slats in each case in a roller shutter rail. The mutually parallel roller shutter rails have in cross-section substantially a U-profile, wherein the open sides of the U-profile of the two roller shutter rails facing each other. With an inner, the window-facing leg of the U-profile, the roller shutter rails can be fixed to the window frame. In particular, the hinge with which the first and second sections of the roller shutter rail are connected to each other can be fixed to the outer, the window facing away from the legs of the U-profile.

In einem Ausführungsbeispiel weist das im Wesentlichen zylindrische Rollladengehäuse an seinen stirnseitigen Enden jeweils eine Abschlusskappe auf, deren Form an die Querschnittsform des Rollladengehäuses angepasst ist. Die Abschlusskappe bildet vorzugsweise einstückig eine Führungsbahn für den Rollladenpanzer aus, damit die Lamellen des Rollladenpanzers aus dem Rollladengehäuse ohne zu verhaken in die Rollladenschiene einlaufen. Die Führungsbahn weist hierzu entlang der Abrollrichtung des Rollladenpanzers einen gekrümmten Abschnitt auf und führt dadurch den im Wesentlichen kreisförmigen Querschnitt des Rollladengehäuses in die geradlinig sich erstreckende Bahn der Rollladenschiene über, wobei in einer Ausführungsart der Krümmungsradius des gekrümmten Abschnitts größer ist als der Radius des kreisförmigen Querschnitts des Rollladengehäuses.In one embodiment, the substantially cylindrical roller shutter housing at its front ends in each case an end cap, the shape of which is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the roller shutter housing. The end cap preferably forms integrally a guideway for the roller shutter from, so that the slats of the roller shutter from the roller shutter housing without getting caught in the roller shutter rail. For this purpose, the guide track has a curved section along the rolling direction of the roller shutter shell, thereby transferring the substantially circular cross section of the roller shutter housing into the linearly extending track of the roller shutter rail, wherein in one embodiment the radius of curvature of the curved section is greater than the radius of the circular cross section of the roller shutter housing.

Die Führungsbahn weist im Querschnitt eine U-förmiges Profil auf, das hinsichtlich der lichten Weite und/oder der Höhe der Profilschenkel vorzugsweise übereinstimmt mit dem U-förmigen Profil des ersten und zweiten Abschnitts der Rollladenschiene.The guideway has a U-shaped profile in cross-section, with respect to the clear width and / or the height of the profile legs preferably coincident with the U-shaped profile of the first and second portions of the roller shutter rail.

Gegenüber dem Rahmen 14 ist ein die Fensterscheibe 18 umfassender Flügel 16 des Dachfensters 12 um eine senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufende Achse klappbar.The Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a roller shutter 10 according to the invention for a roof window 12. The roof window 12 has a frame 14 which is fixedly connected to the building opening, in particular screwed to the rafters. To the frame 14, the thermal insulation 22 is brought above which the roof tiles 24 are placed on transversely extending to the rafters roof battens 26. Opposite the frame 14 is a window pane 18 comprehensive wings 16 of the roof window 12 hinged about a plane perpendicular to the plane axis.

Der Dachfenster-Rollladen 10 umfasst ein Rollladengehäuse 20 zur Aufnahme des darin aufrollbaren Rollladenpanzers 40, der aus gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Lamellen besteht. Das Rollladengehäuse 20 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen zylindrisch senkrecht zur Zeichenebene. An das Rollladengehäuse 20 schließt sich eine Rollladenschiene 30 an, die im Ausführungsbeispiel zweiteilig ist und einen ersten Abschnitt 32 aufweist, der mit einem ersten Ende an das Rollladengehäuse 20 anschließt, insbesondere mittels eines ersten Scharniers 36 an dem Rollladengehäuse 20 angelenkt ist und gegenüber diesem um eine senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufende erste Achse schwenkbar ist.The skylight roller shutter 10 includes a roller shutter housing 20 for receiving the roll-up roller shutter 40 which can be rolled up therein and which consists of hingedly connected slats. The roller shutter housing 20 extends substantially cylindrically perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. The roller shutter housing 20 is followed by a roller shutter rail 30, which is in two parts in the embodiment and has a first portion 32 which connects to a first end of the shutter housing 20, in particular by means of a first hinge 36 is hinged to the shutter housing 20 and with respect to this a perpendicular to the plane extending first axis is pivotable.

An dem gegenüberliegenden zweiten Ende ist der erste Abschnitt 32 mittels eines zweiten Scharniers 38 mit dem ersten Ende des zweiten Abschnitts 34 der Rollladenschiene 30 gelenkig verbunden. Dadurch ist der zweite Abschnitt 34 gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt 32 um eine senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufende zweite Achse schwenkbar.At the opposite second end, the first portion 32 is hingedly connected by a second hinge 38 to the first end of the second portion 34 of the roller shutter rail 30. As a result, the second section 34 is pivotable relative to the first section 32 about a second axis perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt den Zustand des Rollladens 10 bei aufgeklapptem Dachfenster 12. Dabei wird der Fensterflügel 16 an einem Ende gegenüber dem Fensterrahmen 14 um eine senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufende Achse geklappt, die im Bereich des Übergangs vom Rollladengehäuse 20 zum ersten Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 angeordnet ist und insbesondere mit der Achse zusammenfällt, um die der erste Abschnitt 32 gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse 20 schwenkbar ist. Der erste Abschnitt 32 und der zweite Abschnitt 34 der Rollladenschiene 30 schwenken in dem dargestellten Zustand gemeinsam um die durch das erste Scharnier 36 bestimmte erste Achse und machen daher die Klappbewegung des Fensterflügels 16 mit. Der erste Abschnitt 32 und der zweite Abschnitt 34 verlaufen im dargestellten Zustand geradlinig hintereinander. In der dargestellten Position ist der Rollladenpanzer 40 noch auf- und abrollbar, da der maximale Schwenkwinkel der Rollladenschiene 30 gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse 20 weniger als 90° beträgt, insbesondere weniger als 60° beträgt und vorzugsweise weniger als 45° beträgt.The Fig. 2 shows the state of the shutter 10 with the roof window 12. In this case, the window sash 16 is folded at one end relative to the window frame 14 about a plane perpendicular to the plane axis, which is arranged in the transition region from the shutter housing 20 to the first portion 32 of the shutter rail 30 and in particular coincides with the axis about which the first portion 32 relative to the roller shutter housing 20 is pivotable. The first portion 32 and the second portion 34 of the shutter rail 30 pivot in the illustrated state together about the first axis determined by the first hinge 36 and therefore make the folding movement of the sash 16 with. The first section 32 and the second section 34 run in the state shown in a straight line one behind the other. In the illustrated position, the roller shutter 40 is still up and unrolled because the maximum pivot angle of the shutter rail 30 relative to the roller shutter housing 20 is less than 90 °, in particular less than 60 ° and preferably less than 45 °.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt den Zustand des Rollladens 10 bei geschwenktem Dachfenster. Dabei wird der Fensterflügel 16 in einem mittleren Bereich um eine senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufende Achse gegenüber dem Fensterrahmen 14 geschwenkt, wobei die zugehörige Schwenkeinrichtung des Dachfensters 12 nicht dargestellt ist. Der Rollladen 10 macht diese Schwenkbewegung des Dachfensters 12 mit, indem der zweite Abschnitt 34 gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 um eine senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufende und durch das zweite Scharnier 38 bestimmte zweite Achse geschwenkt wird. Demgegenüber schließt der erste Abschnitt 32 unverschwenkt an das Rollladengehäuse an. In der in der Fig. 3 dargestellten Position ist der Rollladenpanzer 40 nicht mehr auf- und abrollbar, da der maximale Schwenkwinkel des zweiten Abschnitts 34 gegenüber dem ersten Abschnitt 32 mindestens 90° beträgt, insbesondere mindestens 120° beträgt und vorzugsweise mindestens 135° beträgt.The Fig. 3 shows the state of the shutter 10 with tilted roof window. In this case, the window sash 16 is pivoted in a central region about an axis perpendicular to the plane extending relative to the window frame 14, wherein the associated pivoting device of the roof window 12 is not shown. The roller shutter 10 makes this pivotal movement of the roof window 12 by the second portion 34 is pivoted relative to the first portion 32 of the shutter rail 30 about a perpendicular to the plane extending and determined by the second hinge 38 second axis. In contrast, the first section 32 connects to the roller shutter housing without swinging. In the in the Fig. 3 shown position, the roller shutter 40 is no longer up and unrolled, since the maximum pivot angle of the second portion 34 relative to the first portion 32 is at least 90 °, in particular at least 120 ° and preferably at least 135 °.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die stirnseitige Abschlusskappe 42 des Rollladengehäuses 20, die im Zentrum eine kreisförmige Öffnung 44 für den Durchtritt der Wickelrolle zum Aufwickeln des Rollladenpanzers 40 aufweist. Im Bereich des Übergangs von dem Rollladengehäuse 20 zu dem ersten Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 weist die Abschlusskappe 42 eine im Querschnitt U-förmige Führungsbahn 46 auf, mittels der die Lamellen des Rollladenpanzers 40 ohne Verhaken von dem Rollladengehäuse 20 in die Rollladenschiene 30 eingeführt werden können.The FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the front-side end cap 42 of the roller shutter housing 20 having a circular opening 44 in the center for the passage of the winding roll for winding the roller shutter 40. In the region of the transition from the roller shutter housing 20 to the first portion 32 of the roller shutter rail 30, the end cap 42 has a cross-sectionally U-shaped guide rail 46, by means of which the slats of the roller shutter 40 can be introduced without catching from the roller shutter housing 20 in the roller shutter rail 30 ,

Die Krümmung der Führungsbahn 46 ist so gewählt, dass der erste Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 in der dargestellten Position, in welcher der erste Abschnitt 32 gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse 20 nicht verschwenkt ist, in der Form einer Tangente an das Ende der Führungsbahn 46 anschließt.The curvature of the guide track 46 is selected such that the first section 32 of the roller shutter rail 30 in the illustrated position, in which the first section 32 is not pivoted relative to the roller shutter housing 20, connects in the form of a tangent to the end of the guide track 46.

Der erste Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 ist mittels einer das erste Scharnier 36 bildenden Schraub- oder Nietverbindung an der Abschlusskappe 42 angelenkt. Das erste Scharnier 36 ist an der Bodenfläche des U-förmigen Profils des ersten Abschnitts 32 festgelegt. Demgegenüber ist das (in der Fig. 4 nicht dargestellte) zweite Scharnier 38 an dem gegenüberliegenden Ende des ersten Abschnitts 32 und dort an dem nach außen gerichteten, in der Darstellung der Fig. 4 oberen Schenkel des U-förmigen Profils des ersten Abschnitts 32 festgelegt.The first portion 32 of the roller shutter rail 30 is hinged to the end cap 42 by means of a screw or rivet connection forming the first hinge 36. The first hinge 36 is fixed to the bottom surface of the U-shaped profile of the first portion 32. In contrast, this is (in the Fig. 4 not shown) second hinge 38 at the opposite end of the first portion 32 and there to the outward, in the illustration of Fig. 4 upper leg of the U-shaped profile of the first section 32 set.

Die Figur 5 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die Abschlusskappe 42 in einem Zustand, in dem der erste Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 gegenüber dem Rollladengehäuse 20 geschwenkt ist, wie dies beispielsweise der Darstellung des geklappten Dachfensters 12 in der Figur 2 entspricht. Der Schwenkwinkel beträgt etwa 30°. An der Abschlusskappe 42 und dem ersten Abschnitt 32 der Rollladenschiene 30 können miteinander korrespondierende Anschlagmittel vorgesehen sein, die den maximalen Schwenkwinkel begrenzen.The FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the end cap 42 in a state in which the first portion 32 of the shutter rail 30 is pivoted relative to the roller shutter housing 20, such as the representation of the folded roof window 12 in the FIG. 2 equivalent. The swivel angle is about 30 °. At the end cap 42 and the first portion 32 of the shutter rail 30 may be provided with each other corresponding stop means which limit the maximum pivot angle.
