Description

TECHNICAL AREA

The invention relates to a device for fastening and / or mounting of a surface element, with at least one guide element for longitudinally displaceable mounting of a surface element in the profile of a rail and at least one longitudinally displaceable together with the guide member holder for holding the surface element, wherein the guide element at least one support portion for mutual engagement having the profile of the rail. Moreover, the invention relates to a fastening system, comprising at least one device for fastening and / or mounting a surface element, and at least one profile rail having at least one profile for mutual longitudinally displaceable engagement with the at least one support portion of the guide member, and corresponding holders for a surface element.

STATE OF THE ART

It is known to sew over the top of panel curtains, curtains, etc., to pass a rod which carries the panel. The bar is then suspended in a ceiling rail using sliders / slides to longitudinally slide the bar along the ceiling rail.

In general, the rider or slider are mounted on a slide rail by opening an end portion of the slide rail and the individual sliders are sequentially threaded into the profile. After threading the sliders the end portion of the profile is blocked again, so that the sliders are included in the profile.

Alternatively, there are glides / slides, which can be clipped into the ceiling rail. However, the clipped-in sliders, if they are to be removed from the rail, must also be threaded out at the end portion of the profile.

The suspension and removal of the slider when using the said conventional suspensions requires not only patience and a relatively high amount of time. The loading and unloading of the sliders can even be difficult or impossible in confined spaces where no convenient access to the guide rail is possible.

The lower portion of the panel curtain is typically also sewn to place another metal rail at the bottom of the curtain so that the curtain is stretched without wrinkles.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Based on this, it is the object of the present invention to facilitate the attachment of panel curtains to a rail, even when attaching to hard to reach places. Furthermore, the attachment of brackets, be it for hanging the surface element or for stretching by weight, to be improved.

TECHNICAL SOLUTION

This object is achieved by the provision of a device for fastening and / or supporting a surface element according to claim 1 and a fastening system according to claim 15. Advantageous embodiments result from the features of the dependent claims.

The inventive device for attachment and / or storage of a surface element according to one aspect of the present invention comprises at least one guide element for longitudinally displaceable mounting of the surface element in a profile of a rail and at least one longitudinally displaceable together with the guide member holder for holding the surface element, wherein the guide element has at least one support portion for mutual engagement with the profile of the rail. The carrier portion according to the invention is non-rotationally symmetrical in such a way that the support portion is inserted into the profile in a first angular position of the guide element relative to the longitudinal direction of the profile of the rail in a second angular position of the guide element relative to the longitudinal direction of the profile of the rail in mutual engagement with the Profile of the profile rail stands.

The device for mounting and / or supporting a surface element primarily relates to applications for attaching a curtain, a curtain, a surface curtain, a room divider, a string curtain, a poster, a functional element, a lamella, etc., on a barrel - or slide rail.

As a guide element, a sliding or rolling body can be provided. In general, the guide element is designed to be complementary to the inner profile of the profile rail. A pin for the passage through the longitudinally extending guide opening of the rail connects a support portion which engages behind corresponding guide projections of the rail with the holder.

In the solution according to the invention, the support portion is non-rotationally symmetrical and thus not circular or round. In this way it is possible to bring the support portion in at least two different angular positions in which the length expansions of the support sections differ. Thus, there is a first, smaller longitudinal extent in which the support portion can be introduced from below transversely or vertically (relative to the intended direction of longitudinal displacement along the profile) in the guide opening of the rail. Subsequently, the support portion is rotated in the intended orientation relative to the longitudinal extent of the rail. The intended orientation corresponds to the second angular position. In this, the greater length extension of the support portion is aligned transversely or perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the profile, so that the support portion engages behind guide projections of the profile on both sides. The guide projections limit the guide opening of the profile of the profile rail.

The support portion is connected via the connecting pin with the holder. The holder can be releasably attached to the connecting pin or the guide element. Of the Connecting pin protrudes when inserted support section through the guide opening of the rail. The connecting pin has a cross section which is always smaller than the width of the guide opening of the profile of the profile rail. In particular, the cross section of the connecting pin can also be rotationally symmetrical.

This solution according to the invention facilitates hooking of the surface element in a corresponding rail, even in confined conditions and difficult accessibility to the end portions of the rail.

The rail has an inner race, for example in the form of a T-shaped cavity on. The T-shaped cross section extends as a continuous channel along the longitudinal extent of the profile. Through the guide opening, the connecting pin of the guide element extends. In the intended use of the device, the support portion of the guide element is received in the inner race of the rail.

The profile rail has in particular a concave inner profile. Thus, the rail may have a C-shaped groove, which extends in the proper use of the connecting pin of the guide member through the opening, while the support portion of the guide member is disposed within the groove.

The support portion of the guide member has, in principle, a complementary to the inner profile of the rail external profile for engagement in the inner profile of the rail. However, the mutual engagement between the rail and the guide member can also be realized by a convex outer profile of the rail, for example by an I-shaped profile and by a corresponding concave inner profile of the guide element.

The holder of the surface element may comprise a holder as described later. In addition, a loop holder with a rod element and at least one loop over the surface element conceivable. In particular, the holder has at least a first clamping element and a second clamping element, wherein the clamping elements form a gap for the arrangement of the surface element in the intermediate space.

The holder may have at least one connecting element for mutually holding the first clamping element on the second clamping element, wherein the connecting element is designed as a clamping element encompassing clip.

In one embodiment of the invention, the holder may be designed to receive a loop of a surface element.

In a preferred embodiment, the carrier section has a base area with a first maximum longitudinal extent that is smaller than a second maximum longitudinal extent of the base area of the carrier section. The two length expansions in question are arranged at an angle to each other.

In particular, the angle is substantially 90 °. This means that with a 90 ° rotation of the guide element, the longitudinal extent can be changed relative to the longitudinal extent of the guide opening of the profile of the rail. Thus, the guide element can be brought from a non-engagement orientation, in which the support portion in the guide opening vertically or transversely from above can be inserted in an orientation in which the support portion of the guide element, the guide projections of the profile of the profile rail, which delimit the guide opening, engages behind.

In particular, the carrier portion is formed point-symmetrical to a central axis of rotation of the guide element and / or axisymmetric to a sectional plane of the guide element.

However, the non-rotationally symmetrical design ensures that the carrier portion of the guide element can be brought into at least two different angular positions, namely in a proper orientation and an orientation for attaching or removing the guide elements from the profile.

In particular, the first maximum longitudinal extent is less than the width of the longitudinally extending guide opening of the profile of the profile rail, the second maximum longitudinal extent greater than the width of the longitudinally extending guide opening of the profile of the profile rail.

In a preferred embodiment, the support section of the guide element has at least two projections for the movable, in particular sliding, support on corresponding projections of the profile of the profile rail. The projections of the profile are provided laterally of the guide opening and limit it. In the intended orientation, the projections of the support portion are aligned so that they engage behind the projections of the profile and are thus fixed against tensile stress on the rail. The projections of the support section extend in the first angular position parallel to the longitudinal extension direction, in the second angular position transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the longitudinal extension direction of the guide opening of the profile.

Preferably, the device for attachment and / or storage of a surface element at least a first guide element and a second guide element. Preferably, the guide elements are arranged on one end of the holder. Thus, the holder has at least two sliding elements connected to it, via which the holder is displaceably mounted on the rail.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the first guide element and / or the second guide element are arranged detachably on the holder.

In particular, the first guide element has a first carrier section with a base area with a first maximum longitudinal extent that is smaller than a second maximum longitudinal extent that is aligned at a first angle to the first maximum longitudinal extent, and / or the second guide element has a second carrier section a base surface having a third maximum elongation smaller than a fourth maximum elongation arranged at a second angle to the third maximum extension.

Preferably, the bracket has at least a portion for mutually bending the end portions of the bracket. The section for bending can be designed as the holder as a whole, elastic or articulated. In this embodiment of the invention it is possible to have an already fully assembled suspension device to bend with a surface element fastened therein so that one or both guide elements are brought into alignment, in which the support sections can be pushed through the guide opening of the rail through. Thus, a bending by an angle of 180 ° is conceivable. Thus, both guide elements can be inserted through the guide opening at the same time. If the bending forms again, the carrier sections engage in the profile and remain slidably fixed to it.

In a preferred embodiment, the holder is bendable at least in a predetermined plane. In particular, the holder is bendable only in this predetermined plane, which is defined by the first angular position of the guide element and the second angular position of the guide element. In the loading direction, which is determined by the position of the surface element and which is usually perpendicular to the predetermined bending plane, the holder is, however, formed substantially rigid. This can be accomplished by the cross-sectional profile of the holder, which has a relatively narrow cross section in the bending plane, a relatively wide cross section (with the same length) in the loading plane. In addition, in the bending section a profile in the form of a recess or narrowing of the holder can be formed perpendicular to the bending plane, which facilitates bending of the holder in the desired bending plane.

The guide member may also be rotatably mounted on the support to take the positions for insertion into the rail and for storage in the rail. In particular, a connecting pin, which connects the carrier portion of the guide element and a holder, be formed as a rotation axis, so that the support portion can be rotated in the corresponding positions. The connecting pin can also be designed in such a way that it can be fixed in two rotational positions.

Preferably, the device for attachment and / or storage of a surface element on at least one driver for contacting at least one adjacently arranged device for attachment and / or storage of a surface element. The driver can be a hook which is arranged between the holder and the closing element for cooperation with the adjacent fastening device. The hook can be a extending to the side of the rail section exhibit. Carrier are particularly interesting in applications with rails that have several parallel adjacent profiles arranged for the movable arrangement of various devices for mounting and / or storage of surface elements.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a fastening system comprising at least one device for fastening and / or supporting a surface element as described above, and a profile rail comprising at least one profile for mutual (longitudinally displaceable) engagement of the at least one guide device with the profile.

In particular, the profile has a guide opening which can be straight, but also with changes in direction. The guide opening has a constant width, through which a connecting pin, which connects a support portion of the guide element with the holder extends. The profile rail can also have a plurality of juxtaposed profiles.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, a holder for a surface element is proposed, which has a clamping device with at least one first clamping element and at least one second clamping element, wherein the clamping elements form a gap for the arrangement of the surface element and wherein at least one connecting element for holding each other of the first Clamping elements is provided on the second clamping element, which is formed as the clamping elements encompassing clip. Thus, an easily manufactured holder for receiving a surface element and in particular of the edge region of a surface element is provided, which can be used both for the suspension of the surface element and for tightening the surface element by means of weight. The clip can be laterally pushed or clipped onto the clamping elements, so that a simple connection is given. Accordingly, as an elastically tensionable spring, the connecting element can be made of a suitable material, such as e.g. Spring steel be formed.

The connecting element can be designed as a cross-sectionally substantially C-shaped bracket, wherein the clamping elements may be formed, for example, as elongated, in particular cuboidal bars. If the free legs have a smaller distance than the thickness of the arrangement of two clamping elements and in between provided surface element, the clip holds the holder together due to an elastic tension, so that the surface element can not slide out of the space between the clamping elements. To support this effect, the clamping elements on the sides, where they rest against the surface element, be structured accordingly, for example, have a corrugation.

The elastic tensioning of the free ends of the clamp can also be effected by the free legs having at least one portion which tapers towards the opposite free leg, so that the space between the free legs is tapered. In this way it can be achieved that even in a partial region of the gap between the free legs of the clip is smaller than the thickness of the two clamping elements with the surface element arranged therebetween.

In addition to an elastic, ie non-positive or frictional connection may additionally or alternatively be provided a positive connection when, for example, at the ends of the free leg transverse areas or on the other free leg assigning areas are provided, which prevent the in the space between the free legs of the clip recorded clamping elements can slide out of the bracket with the surface element.

Additionally or alternatively, the clip and the clamping elements may also have recesses and projections, which mutually engage with each other, so that thereby an additional or alternative positive connection is given.

The clamping elements may be provided separately or connected to each other, for example via a film hinge. In this embodiment, the clamping elements are folded apart around the film hinge to receive the surface element or the edge of a surface element and then folded back on each other to enclose the surface element between them.

In a further development of the invention, the holder has at least one receiving device with an inner region for receiving the clamping device in the inner region of the receiving device. The receiving device may alternatively or additionally fulfill the function of a cover device. She can with a desired Design when used as an externally visible component. In particular, the terminal strip is received within the receiving device. The receiving device may be formed as a cylindrical tube-like element.

In a special embodiment, the receiving device has an opening through which the surface element can be guided from the interior of the receiving device to the outside.

Preferably, the receiving device is designed such that the expansion of the interior of the receiving device reduces toward the opening. The element to which the surface element is attached, can be arranged without further attachment in the interior of the receiving device. This means that the element is movable relative to the receiving device.

In particular, the extent of the interior of the receptacle towards the opening decreases such that the clamping device is compressed in a movement towards the opening, so that the force compressing the clamping elements is increased. The reduction in the extent thus causes a change in the force effect, wherein a tensile force acting on the surface element is at least partially transformed into a force that compresses the clamping elements.

Preferably, the holder is self-locking and / or self-locking.

According to a second aspect of the invention, a holder for a surface element is provided, wherein the at least one connecting element comprises a magnet, so that the friction and / or adhesion, with which the surface element is held between the clamping elements, is realized by magnetic forces. Thus, a particularly simple attachment of the holder on the surface element is possible.

The connecting element may be formed by a clamping element at the same time, if a magnet is arranged either integrally or in several parts on a clamping element or if a corresponding magnet is additionally designed as a clamping element.

In such an embodiment, at least one clamping element may be formed ferromagnetically in order to interact effectively with the magnet can.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, a holder for a surface element is proposed in which between at least one first clamping element and at least one second clamping element, a gap for receiving the surface element is formed, which has the shape of a gap with at least one, preferably a plurality of direction changes and is arranged so that due to the change in direction in the gap arranged in the gap surface element jammed due to gravity.

The gap may have an S, U or Z-like shape in cross section.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The FIG. 1 shows a part of a suspension device 1 according to the invention in a perspective view.

The suspension device 1 comprises a clamping strip 2, which essentially consists of a first strip element 2a and a second strip element 2b. An object can be clamped between the strip elements 2a and 2b. The object may be a curtain, a shading element, a curtain, a slat or the like. The object is stored or held on the suspension device. On the facing inner sides 3a and 3b of the two clamping elements 2a and 2b respectively a profile is formed, which increases the adhesion of an object clamped between the clamping elements 2a and 2b on the terminal block 2. The profile may be, for example, a roughened surface or any profile with protrusions / ridges and depressions.

On the opposite outer sides 4a and 4b of the clamping elements 2a and 2b respectively an outer profile is formed, each having a longitudinally of the terminal block 2 extending groove 4a and 4b.

The strip elements 2 a and 2 b are fastened to one another by attaching one or more clips 5 to the clamping strip 2. The bracket 5 has two legs 5a and 5b extending perpendicularly from a base 5c. On the legs 5a and 5b respectively an inwardly curved portion complementary to the grooves 4a and 4b of the strip elements 2a and 2b is formed, which engages when attaching the clip 5 to the terminal block 2 in the corresponding groove and so held on the terminal block 2 becomes.

In addition, the suspension device 1 has two end caps 6, one of which in the FIG. 1 is shown. The end caps 6 are arranged in the assembly of the suspension device 1 in the region of the two ends of the terminal block 2.

The structure of the end cap 6 is best based on FIG. 2 clear. The illustrated end cap 6 has a main body 7, on the underside of an eyelet 8 is arranged. Opposite the eyelet 8 extends from the main body 7 from the top toward a guide element. 9

In addition, the end cap 6 has two side sections 10a and 10b extending perpendicularly from the main body 7 and a receiving section 11 extending perpendicularly from the main body 7. At the side portions 10a and 10b, an outwardly extending circular projection 12a and 12b are provided, respectively.

As a further component of the suspension device 1 according to the invention shows the FIG. 2 an aluminum strip 13, which serves as a receptacle or cover 13 and has a connecting web 14 and substantially perpendicularly from the connecting web 14 extending side parts 15a and 15b. The side parts 15a and 15b form, together with the connecting web 14, a kind of clip which delimits an inner space 16 into which the clamping strip 2 is inserted during assembly of the suspension device 1. The clamped in the terminal block 2 object extends over a provided in the aluminum strip 13 longitudinal opening 17 to the outside.

The inner surfaces of the side parts 15a and 15b of the aluminum strip 13 converge toward the longitudinal opening 17, so that the gap between the side parts 15a and 15b is reduced. As a result of this constriction of the interior 16 of the aluminum strip 13, the terminal strip 2 is pulled downwards in the direction of the longitudinal opening 17 when a tensile force is exerted on the object, eg on a curtain, away from the receiving device 1. The strip elements 2a and 2b are pressed together with increased force, whereby the resistance of the terminal strip 2 increases against detachment of the curtain from the bar 2. The greater the tensile load, the greater the contact pressure of the strip elements 2a and 2b against each other. Thus, the suspension device 1 acts self-locking or self-locking against pulling out of the curtain. A detachment of the clamped object from the terminal block 2 is effectively prevented.

When mounting the suspension device 1, the side portions 10a and 10b and the receiving portion 11 of the end cap 6 can be inserted accurately into the interior 16 of the aluminum strip 13, as in the FIGS. 3a and 3b shown.

The aluminum strip 13 has to the projections 12 a and 12 b formed on both sides, complementary openings 18 a and 18 b, in which the projections 12 a and 12 b engage with mounted suspension device 1 to attach the end cap 6 to the aluminum receptacle 13.

Between the aluminum cover 13 and the main body 7 of the end cap 6, either a filler 19 or a driver 20 can optionally be arranged as required. The filler 19 and the driver 20 are pushed over the receiving portion 11. In the FIG. 3a is the suspension device 1 in the assembled state with a filler 19, in the FIG. 3b shown with a driver 20.

The FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of the guide member 9 of the end cap 6. The guide member 9 is adapted to allow a sliding and / or rolling, at least movable attachment of the suspension device 1 on a rail. For this purpose, a support portion 21, which is connected via a connecting pin 22 with the base body 7 of the end cap 6, be inserted into the inner profile of a rail. The connecting pin 22 protrudes through a longitudinal opening formed in the profiled rail, along which the end cap 6 can be moved in a sliding manner.

The base area GT of the carrier section 21 of the guide element 9 is formed enlarged relative to the base area GV of the connecting pin 22. The support portion 21 projects beyond the connecting pin 22 on two opposite sides about a projection 21 a and 21 b. The extension 1 of the support section 21 in the guide direction F is smaller than the extension b of the support section 21 perpendicular to the guide direction F. The support section 21 is not circular or rotationally symmetrical, but has a longitudinal extent maximum extent 1, which is smaller than the width b of the carrier section.

The FIG. 5 shows a rail 23 with a plurality of adjacent mutually parallel profiles 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d and a sliding arranged in the profile 24b suspension device 1 with carriers 20, which cooperate with adjacent carriers, indicated by the driver 24, and in adjacent profiles 24a of the rail 23 can move attached hangers.

The profiles 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d of the rail 23 each have recesses for engagement of the support portion 21 of the guide member 9, wherein the recesses are delimited downwards by sliding projections 25 which a longitudinal opening 26 of the respective profile 24a, 24b, 24c, Define 24d with a width B.

According to the invention, the maximum extension 1 of the carrier section 21 in a first direction is smaller than the width B of the opening 26 defined by sliding projections 25, while the maximum extension b of the carrier section 21 in a second direction is greater than the width B of the opening 26 defined by sliding projections 25 is. In this way, it is possible to insert the carrier portion 21 of the end cap 6 in a defined first angular position relative to the guide direction F of a profile 24b in the profile 24b, and to rotate in a second, different angular position and thereby to fix the profile 24b. In the first angular position, the extension 1 of the support portion 21 along the width B of the opening 26 is aligned, in the second angular position, the extension b along the width B of the opening 26 is aligned, so that the lateral projections 21 a and 21 b of the support portion 21st keep the end cap 6 movably on the profile 24b. The undersides of the projections 21 a and 21 b are in the intended (second) orientation of the end cap 6 on the rail 23 on each of a sliding projection 25 of the inner profile 24 b and allow a sliding movement of the suspension device 1 in a longitudinal direction F of the rail 21.

The connecting pin 22 has a base GV whose maximum extent in all orientations of the end cap 6 relative to the inner profile 24b does not exceed the extent B of the opening 26 of the inner profile 23b. The connecting pin 12 protrudes when inserted support portion 21 through the limited by the sliding projections 25 opening 26 therethrough.

The inventive design of the guide element allows easy attachment of the suspension device 1 on the rail 23. Thus, for example, first a curtain clamped in the bar 2, fixed by the bracket 5 and inserted into the aluminum receptacle 13.

The end caps 6 can be fixed to the rail 23 by the support portions 21 inserted in a first angular position in the opening 26 of the rail 23 and then rotated to a second angular position in which the side projections 21a and 21b on a respective sliding projection 25 of the rail 23 rest. Subsequently, the aluminum receptacle 13, in which the bar 2 is arranged, are connected to the end caps 6, wherein between the main body 7 of the end cap 6 and the aluminum cover 15, a filler 19 or a driver 20 can be arranged.

Alternatively, it is conceivable to connect the aluminum receptacle 13 with a first end cap 6. The second end cap is now secured in the rail 23. Subsequently, the end cap 6 connected to the aluminum receptacle 13 can be fixed to the profile rail 24b by suitable alignment together with the aluminum receptacle 13.

The bar 2, to which a curtain is attached, may be inserted into the aluminum receptacle 13 before or after joining the aluminum receptacle 13 to the first end cap 6 and / or before or after attaching the first end cap to the rail 24b.

The FIG. 6 10 shows a further embodiment of a suspension device 100 according to the invention, in which two cooperating clamping elements 102a and 102b are provided in the form of parallelepiped rods which have a corrugated structure on the facing surfaces 103a and 103b to receive a surface element 110 at its edge.

The clamping elements 102a and 102b are held together by at least one, preferably a plurality of clamps 105, the free legs 105a and 105b of which have inwardly inclined portions 106a and 106b at their ends, which prevent the clamping elements 102a and 102b, the staple 105 at its open end between the legs 105a and 105b can rely on the drawing below. Accordingly, the clamping members 102a and 102b are positively held by the inwardly inclined portions 106a and 106b. Since the distance of the free legs 105a and 105b of the clip 105 is dimensioned such that when laterally inserted clamping elements 102a and 102b and arranged therebetween surface element 110, the surface element is clamped with the clamping elements, the surface element 110 is securely held in the suspension device 100.

On the bracket 105, a guide member 109 having a support portion 121 and a connecting pin 122 is provided.

The connecting pin 122 may, for example, be connected to the bracket 105 via a screw connection, a clip connection or another suitable connection, which in particular also permits the arrangement in at least two different angular positions.

By this appropriate support causes the surface element 110 is pulled by the gravity of the holder 120, 102 a and 102 b down and thus taut.

The FIG. 7 shows yet another embodiment of a suspension device 200 according to the invention, in which a holder 201 is provided, which has a T-profile, which in the operating position downwardly facing leg 202b represents a first clamping element. In addition, the holder 201 has magnets 202a, which are arranged as second clamping elements on the leg 202b, in order to clamp the surface element 210 between them.

On the holder 201 and the horizontal leg of the T-shaped bracket 201 are a plurality of guide elements 209, which have a corresponding support portion 221 and a connecting pin 222, is provided, wherein only a guide member 209 in FIG. 7 is shown. The guide elements 209 can in turn be suitably connected to the holder 201, in particular releasably and / or rotatably, so that the holder 201 can be arranged in the manner described on the guide rails.

The FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of a suspension device 300 according to the invention, in which a holder 301 is provided in the form of a Zylinderrrohrkörpers, which can be arranged via guide elements 309 with corresponding support portions 321 and connecting pins 322 in a guide rail. The guide elements 309 are also detachably and / or rotatably arranged on the holder 301.

The retaining ring 301 with the cylindrical tube-like base body has in the base body a gap 304 along the longitudinal axis, which is U-shaped, S-shaped or Z-shaped in cross-section. Accordingly, the two ends 302 and 303 of the holder 301, which delimit the gap 304, are shaped so that the surface elements received in the gap 304 have to pass through several, ie at least two, directional changes, preferably three or four changes of direction. In addition, the gap 304 is arranged so that when a force acting on the surface element, for example by gravity, the surface element 310 jammed in the zigzag-shaped gap 304.

The previous embodiments have shown a suspension device in which the surface element has been clamped in sections or preferably over the entire length of an edge region.

The embodiment of the FIG. 9 shows a suspension device according to the invention for a loop suspension of a surface element 410. For this purpose, the surface element 410 on one edge side a plurality of loops 403, wherein in FIG. 9 only a single loop 403 is shown. The suspension device 400 for each loop comprises a rod 401, which has two guide elements 409 with respective support sections 421 and connecting pins 422 to the rod 401. Between the two guide elements 409, a receiving region 402 for the loop 403 of the surface element 410 is provided.

How clearly in FIG. 10 can be seen, the rod 401 is flexible, so that the rigidly connected to the rod 401 guide members 409 can be brought into a correspondingly different orientation to each other. This is in the lower part of the picture FIG. 10 in positions 1) and 2). In the position 1), the device 400, which may also be referred to as a loop slide, arranged in the dashed line receiving opening 426 of a rail that the longitudinal extent of the guide member 409 is aligned parallel to the profile longitudinal axis, which is parallel to the dashed edges of the opening 426 extends. The two guide members 409 are disposed on the rod 401 so that the respective support portions 421 are provided in parallel alignment with each other. By bending the rod 401 can be achieved that the second guide member is aligned with the longitudinal extent of its support portion in line with the other guide member 409 so that both can be introduced simultaneously into the opening 426 of the guide rail. Once the rod 401 has reached its original straight orientation after elastic relaxation again, the guide elements 409 are arranged in the rail so that the support portions 421 come to lie in the rail (see position 3)). Accordingly, can be achieved by an elastic bending of the rod 401 a simple arrangement in a guide rail, whereby forced by the elastic restoring forces of the rod 401 to its original position in which the loop slider 400 can no longer escape from the guide rail down, but only could be carried out laterally from the guide rail.

The FIG. 11 shows a further embodiment of a suspension device 500 according to the invention in which only the interaction between a guide member 509 and a holder 501 is shown. The holder 501 has a cross-shaped opening 502 in which the guide element 509 can be accommodated. The guide element 509 has a carrier portion 521 in a cuboid shape and a cylindrical connecting pin 522, which has a truncated pyramid 523 at its end opposite the carrier portion 521. The truncated pyramid 523 is dimensioned such that the guide element 509 does not pass through the opening 502 but jams with the truncated pyramid 523 in the opening 502. Through the cross-shaped opening 502, there are two possible positions for the guide element 509, which are rotated by 90 ° relative to one another. Accordingly, the guide member 509 can be fixed in the holder 501 once in a position in which the guide member 509 is oriented so that in a parallel arrangement of the holder 501 to the guide rail, the guide member 509 can engage in the opening of the guide rail, while in a rotated by 90 ° arrangement, the guide member 509 in the opening 502 of the holder 501 of the support portion 521 of the guide member 509 in the guide rail rests and can be moved sliding.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the protection is not limited to these embodiments, but that modifications or changes are possible, particularly the different combination of individual features presented and the omission of individual Features without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
