Abstract

The folding curtain (1) comprises a strip-shaped, foldable, hanging flat structures with spaced holders (3,4), arranged in vertically and horizontally, in series. The folding curtain is split in fields (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and holders are provided on each of the adjacent sections of the fields for holding a rigid weighting element. Both the holders of the adjacent fields are connected together over lateral fastening elements (7, 8). The guide holes or the guides for the pull cords (11) are attached above weighting element.

Description

The invention relates to a folding curtain with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

A folding curtain of the generic type is z. B. from the DE 20 2005 012 881 U1 known. On the fabric of such a Faltrollos guide straps are applied for vertical pull cords. This guide band consists of two woven bands, which are woven together in regular longitudinal sections, wherein the guide band is provided on one side with an adhesive layer for horizontal attachment of the guide band on the blind fabric. The drawstrings are attached to the underside of the fabric and brought together on the top of a profile mounted pulleys and are operated together with an attached hand-pull. When pulling up the lower portion of the fabric form folds around the guide bands automatically, so that upon further pulling up a covering of the folds.

From the DE 84 15 177 U1 is a hochziehbarer Fensterbehang, such as Faltrollo or Wolkenstore, with horizontal folds laid fabric panels are known, the web back side are connected by vertically extending fold bands, which in turn have guide eyelets in a desired pleat length corresponding distance to each other. Through the guide eyelets of the pleat band a pull cord is threaded through each, which is attached to a weighting element at the lower portions of the Faltenbahnen. On the top side, the pull cords are also deflected into pulleys and brought together and can be hoisted or lowered together via a single cord. Lay the panels It also wrinkles when pulling up and stretch while lowering.

From the DE 40 02 476 C1 is a hochziehbarer decorative curtain for windows, doors or the like, in which the fabric is placed on drawstrings in horizontal folds. For this purpose, the fabric has not only vertically superimposed guide eyelets, but also horizontally provided in the upper edge hanger, which have deflection for threading the drawstrings. These hangers allow the fabric to be hung on a horizontal support. In order to obtain a reliable and quickly mountable curtain, it is proposed to form each hanger of two detachable parts, between which there is a clutch. The trailer part equipped with one coupling half has at the same time the deflection openings, while the other suspension part has connecting means for its mounting on a carrier. During the cleaning process of the panels, only the suspension parts equipped with the deflection opening remain on the panel, while the carrier-side suspension members remain stationary on a profile rail or the like.

From the DE 34 18 534 C2 is still a similar hochziehbarer window hanging, such as Faltrollo or Wolkenstore known. In this, the guide eyes for the drawstring from the flat gap opening between the fixed belt ground of the pleated band on the one hand and a bunch of sections boundless, compared to the warp threads of the belt ground floating, extending over the bandwidth weft insertion on the other hand formed, the weft bundle flat against the tape base in case of rest and Under tensile load of the threaded through underneath pull cord spreads elastically from the bottom of the strip and forms the weft thread material in all other areas of the pleat tape together with the warp threads the fabric of the tape base.

Furthermore, from the DE 39 29 284 C2 a device for shading windows, glass roofs, conservatories and the like, consisting of a fabric having a plurality of guided support members known. The fabric is a double fabric, the two fabric layers are connected to each other in the manner of a grid, being created by the grid connection pockets both in the weft and in the warp direction for insertion of the support elements. The support elements are inserted rods.

From the DE 36 15 349 A1 For example, a Venetian blind for windows, stages or the like is known, which has tufts in Raffrichtung, which are guided by guide holes in the curtain track by means of Velcro fastened rods. This saves on ties with loops and achieves a simple structure, especially with doubled curtains. The rods are threaded onto the gathering cords so that, when gathered, the rods adjacent to one another form a closed wall section dependent on the height of the bars, in front of which the curtain sections located between the bars are folded over in an overlapping manner. A similar structure is in the DE 20 2005 012 881 U1 specified. Weighting rods, which are arranged horizontally, are further in the EP 0 682 901 A1 , of the DE 20 2007 003 870 U1 , of the WO 2006/108152 A2 , of the US 2007/0251652 A1 and the DE 10 2005 031 878 A1 described.

The invention has for its object to form a folding curtain of the generic type so that the folding direction and the folding are specified by the weighting itself, the curtain is easier to produce, variations in the design are given, fewer components are needed for the shirring and the Weighting means in the shirred state of the folding curtain require less storage space and form no wall section and the folding curtain while maintaining the use of strings, chains or the like, which are guided by eyelets, can be gathered and lowered.

The object is achieved by the invention by designing the folding curtain according to the teaching in claim 1.

Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims in detail.

The invention is characterized in that the at least one weighting means has a greater height extension than the vertical extension of the hanging curtain and that the guide eyes or the guides for the pull cords in the area below the weighting agent on the fabric or on the weighting means are even mounted so that when lifting the Section of the folding curtain below the at least one weighting means relative to the section above the weighting means from a stable hanging to a labile state, the upper part of the at least one upper weighting means in a desired direction forward or backward and falls down.

The invention is basically applicable to folding curtains, which consist of a continuous fabric or a film, the z. B. can be used for shading windows, glass doors, etc. and are mounted inside the room above the window or the door and extend at least in the lowered state over a partial surface of the shaded area. It can also be windows in a winter garden, whether they can be opened or not opened, or act obliquely installed glass covers or skylights. Distributed over the vertical length, one or more continuous or divided into sections weighting means preferably the same construction can be used, but it can also be used in the different height ranges on the curtain different construction designs. It is crucial that the weighting means have such a height that they can be taken under a grip under attacking from below a weighting means or from the bottom of the weighting element or the raised eyelet on the curtain and thus from a hanging stable state into a labile State fall, the fall direction is determined in particular by the position of the pull cords and their leadership either in eyelets on the curtain or below the horizontal axis of gravity of the weighting means on these provided eyelets. By the occurrence of the weighting means, the folding of the overlying curtain section is automatically specified. When shirring the curtain, the weighting means are bundled at the top below the deflection means for the drawstrings and are held together at the guide eyes or guides.

The fastening means on the folding curtain for the weighting means and / or the fastening means on the weighting means for the folding curtain can be designed arbitrarily, they only have to correspond with each other in order to be able to be joined together. For example, if the fastener consists of an aluminum rectangular profile, it can be glued, sewn or inserted into eyelets or pockets provided on the curtain. Zipper elements which interact with counter-zipper elements on the weighting means can also be provided on the curtain. It can also push button and clamp connections, z. B. pivotable clamping parts, be provided on the fastening means, which clamps the fabric or the film when pressed or by spring action. Is the weighting means of a hollow profile with Kedernut and top longitudinal slot or bottom longitudinal slot at the bottom Part, the fabric can also be done by clamping by Keder rod or rod sections. Such a rod can also be inserted in the longitudinal slot when the walls of the fastening means are rigid, for example when using an aluminum profile, in the state connected to the material web, and the material web can be inserted into the longitudinal slot, the rod in the larger bearing recess, similar to a welt groove, stored secured against pulling out. The invention is not limited to any type of connection. In any case, care must be taken to ensure a secure hold. The weighting means also has the advantage that the folding curtain is always streamlined in the lowered state. The weighting means can be made in one piece, but also at least two parts, ie consist of two weighting means which are arranged one above the other and connected to each other, which is possible by connecting elements which are either molded or subsequently interposed, for example by lateral connecting elements, which at the same time Close the bearing openings of the bearing recesses, so that z. B. an inserted rod can not move in it. However, the fastening means may also consist of hook-shaped elongate connecting elements, as they are known from roller shutter slats, so that two fastening means can be imparted in pairs. The paired arrangement allows separation of the curtain into vertical panels of equal length or different lengths and the use of different designs.

If the weighting means are attached in sections to the curtain and are inserted in parallel columns, then, if the upper support bar is also arranged in sections of equal length and pitch, the webs with the weighting means with about a vertical axis rotatable and horizontally displaceable mounting of the support bar portion against each other also twisted vertically be without creating an opening between the then given bowl-shaped sections with weighting means. Both in this rotational position and in alignment alignment, the curtain can be gathered.

According to a development of the folding curtain is divided into uniform and / or unevenly long fields. At the adjacent portions of the panels are provided holders for receiving a respective rigid rod-shaped weighting means. The weighting means may be a rod or a hollow profile of any outer contour. Preferably, a simple tube profile is used. The rods can be metal bars or wooden poles. It is expedient to bring in a solid rod at the ends receiving bores in order to be able to attach fasteners to the weighting elements here. The two weighting means adjacent fields are connected to each other at least laterally mounted fasteners. Also, between the external weighting means which form a connection pair, further (at least one other) weighting means for loosening the curtain and design embossing can be interposed centrally, which are likewise fixed to the connecting elements. As fasteners but also z. As wire or ribbon connection elements are used, which have an eyelet on the top and bottom, in which the weighting element is insertable. Such band-shaped connecting elements can also be distributed over the width of a field, so that even relatively weak rods or hollow profiles can be used. For curtain widths greater than one meter, it is necessary to avoid sagging of the weighting element mounted in the upper portion of a lower panel if the moment of inertia of the profile used is insufficient to provide a desired straight line portion of the panel, fasteners across the width distributed to the curtain.

The peculiarity consists in the fact that the guide eyelets or the guides for the pull cords are mounted with respect to the above on a field attached weighting means in the region of the weighting agent or on the or the fasteners so that when lifting the lower panel, by exercise a tensile force on the drawstrings, the arrangement of the two coupled weighting means changes from a stable hanging to a labile state, wherein the upper weighting means falls forward and downwards in front of the above on the adjacent lower box mounted weighting means. As a result, the fabric arranged above it is automatically moved to a starting folding position, which is below a pivot axis possibly attached to the connecting elements by division or at the level of the upper weighting element in the lower field or below.

The folding curtain can basically consist of panels, so be designed as a textile folding curtain. But it can also consist of slides. In addition, material compositions can be chosen because virtually every field consists of a separate sheet. The holders for receiving the weighting elements can be eyelets which are sewn, worked, glued or welded to the textile. The holder may also consist of continuous, formed by hem formation pockets.

In the case of the use of individual eyelets, the textile flat eyelets or consist of tapes or may be part of a plastic injection molded part, these are distributed over the width of the individual material field to be arranged so that there are distances between them. These gaps may be obscured by a fabric or cover sheet attached around or on the two adjacent weighting means become. The attachment is provided on the weighting means so that the eyelets of the holder on the one hand and the intermediate lugs on the other hand mesh with each other. It is also possible to provide the connecting path between the pairs of weighting means at the top and bottom with eyelets, through which the weighting means can be pushed with simultaneous meshing with the eyelets on the fields. With such a construction, it can also be provided that at least the lower sections of the upper panels visually obscuring the attachment of the weighting means. It can also be provided in such an embodiment that the fabric web overlaps between the adjacent, coupled together weighting means on the bottom side over the underlying field.

The drawstrings are fixed in a known manner to the lower panel of the folding curtain, preferably in the lower region. However, it is also possible for the lower area to be designed as a scallop area arcuate or with a wave-shaped end edge, so that preferably the fastening is then provided somewhat higher. For this purpose, known fastening devices can be used, such as binding eyes or clamps made of plastic, which are e.g. sewn or glued. Also, the lower panel may be provided with an additional weighting member in the lower portion to ensure hanging of the curtain as the individual panels are lowered.

In order to connect the weighting means in a simple manner to each other in pairs, wherein their distances may be the same or different, is provided in a further embodiment, that the connecting element plug or locking or clamping bolts, respectively in the hollow profile of the weighting element or in recordings thereto are pluggable. The connecting element can in such a configuration, for example made of plastic be manufactured by injection molding, so that this can also be formed at the same time the guide eye for the pull rope. The guide eye is to provide below the center of the connecting element, whereby the paired arrangement of the weighting means forcibly moves from the stable hanging position when pulling up the lower panel and the gripping of the eye in a labile falling position. But it is also possible to divide the connecting elements and hold together by means of a pivot joint, so that the upper weighting means falls around the joint by its own weight forward.

Instead of the specified fasteners but can also be, as previously stated, band or wire fasteners are mounted with top and bottom loops, while the ends of the weighting rods are freely accessible. If these receiving bores or bearing bores are made of profiled tubing, a clamping bolt or a latching bolt can be inserted into the opening of the lower weighting rod, for example, on which the guide eye is located. The bolt can also be rotatably mounted in the receptacles. The function is also ensured in this case, regardless of whether the eyelet is now arranged laterally projecting or at right angles to the rear. On the upper weighting rod, a stop can protrude laterally, which presses against the rope, so that the fall direction is always predetermined even in such a construction. Also, at the lower attachment of the eyelet in extension, a guide pin or pin may be provided which is guided in a lateral guide groove in a rail which limits the folding curtain laterally. This construction is particularly advantageous for sloping roof windows or when mounted in sloping roof glazing, such. B. in conservatories.

If the guide eyelets are attached to the weighting means, they may be attached laterally or on the back of the weighting means. In order not to have to form the eyelet too large and to ensure a folding of the weighting means, it is recommended to store the eyelet pivotally mounted on a holder of the weighting means, so store horizontally pivotable so that the weighting means can fall forward unhindered. If a mirror-image hollow profile, z. As aluminum profile, is used, this can also be used as a final storage rod top and bottom as a weighting element. In this case, either rider or holder with feet are used in the upper bearing recess with which the curtain z. B. can be used in a curtain rail or pushed onto a curtain rod. These riders or holders can be fixed by screws in their position in the bearing holder. In the upper support rod, a deflecting element can be inserted and fixed at the bottom in the profile, which deflects the supplied pull cords down to pull on it. At the same time a lock of known type for the drawstrings can be integrated in this deflecting element.

The invention will be explained in the following with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

In FIG. 1 By way of example, a narrow folding curtain 1, designed according to the invention, is shown. This folding curtain 1 consists of an upper panel 2a, which consists of a fabric with a specific pattern. Underneath is a completely separate field 2b made of another fabric or a foil. Underneath is another field 2c drawn from a fabric with another pattern or a printed film. Below this is the lower panel 2d, which in turn may be made of another fabric or a foil. The fields 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d have, as well as FIG. 2 it can be seen, in each case above and below - in the lower panel 2d only above - pocket-shaped receptacles as a holder 3, 4. In this, by sewing, gluing or welding formed from an envelope pocket-shaped holder 3, 4 rod-shaped weighting means or hollow profile tubes 5, 6 are inserted, which are connected via lateral connecting elements 7, 8 with each other in pairs. That's how it turns out FIG. 1 apparent patterns of a curtain of individual fields separated by viewing slits. These view slots can, as previously stated, but also be bridged. This depends on the construction and the desired appearance.

FIG. 2 shows now that the suit of the drawstrings 11 of the folding curtain is gathered. For this purpose fastening means 10 are provided laterally on the lower panel, with which the threads 11 are fastened to the lower panel. When the threads 11 are pulled up, first the lower panel 2d is gathered, which is made FIG. 2 is apparent. If the threads 11 are further pulled up, then the fastening device 10 engages under the guide eye 9 on the connecting element 7 or 8 on the other side and causes the weighting means pair of the weighting means 5, 6 passes from the stable hanging state to a labile state and the Weighting 5 falls forward, so that forcibly a certain convolution for the field 2c is given. The process continues from field to field until the curtain is pulled up.

Out FIG. 3 the paired weighting arrangement is shown in an exploded view. The two tube profiles, which are used here as weighting means 5, 6, have lateral profile openings 15. In this profile openings 15, the locking pins 13, 14 which are attached to the existing plastic connecting parts 7, 8, pressed under positive engagement, so that a secure hold is given. At the connecting elements 7, 8 are at a right angle on the rear projecting also guide eyelets 9 are provided, which serve the thread guide and through which the drawstring 11 is threaded therethrough, on a fastening device 10, as shown FIG. 7 can be seen attached, which in turn is fixed to the lower side of the lower panel 2 d. On both sides of this field, such fastening devices 10 are provided as a clamping device for fixing the drawstrings 11. Furthermore, it shows how out FIG. 7 It can also be seen that the bottom panel in the lower region has a weighting element 12 in the form of a lead band or another weighting band, which is sewn on, for example.

After pressing the locking pins 13, 14 of the connecting elements 7, 8 in the profile openings 15 is formed from FIG. 4 apparent composite. However, the composite is produced using the fields of fabric and / or foil. For this purpose, the weighting means 5, 6 are initially connected to one another only on one side and into the eye-shaped holders 3, 4, as seen in FIG FIG. 5 can be seen, inserted and then connected to each other via the connecting element 8 on the other side. The connecting elements 7, 8 are mirror images and can, for example, from FIG. 6 have apparent contour. The two protruding locking pins 13, 14 are formed so that they can be inserted under clamping action in the profile openings 15. Clearly visible is the approach with the guide eye 9.

In Fig. 8 is shown as a weighting means a mirror-image trained metal profile 16perspectively, which is made of aluminum, but may also consist of plastic. The profile 16 has at the top fastening means 17, consisting of a longitudinal gap 19 and a bearing recess which extends through the entire profile 16 and is greater than the longitudinal gap 19. At the bottom, the profile has a mirror-image formed fastening means 18, which also has a longitudinal gap has below and above it a bearing recess which extends over the entire length. The longitudinal gap 19 opens in each case in a bearing recess. The profile 16 is a extruded profile part. This profile 16 can be attached to the back of a folding curtain, for example by means of surface zipper elements, also called Velcro elements. On this profile 16 and guide eyelets 9 below the balance axis are attached, for example, the guide eyelets 9 can be pivotally attached to a holder 25, as shown Fig. 14 can be seen, for example, on the back of the profile 16 z. B. is secured by clipping and this top and bottom resilient clip hooks 31, 32 has. The guide eye 9 is pivotable over a wide angle, for example over 220 °. This has the advantage that the pull cord guided therein can not hinder the occurrence of the profile 16 in the unstable state, that is, when a further profile 16 arranged below the profile 16 is pulled up and engages under the profile 16. Although this can be ensured by a larger eyelet, but this then comes out clearly, which is not desirable. The guide eye thus extends transversely to the pivot axis and may for example also have a round or rectangular shape with smooth inner surfaces.

However, the profile 16 is also suitable for connecting two vertical panels of a curtain with one another, so that when a plurality of panels are lined up using a plurality of such profiles 16, folding of the panels is also forcibly possible. The fields, ie the upper and lower edges of the respective fabric, z. B. folded around the mounting rod 20 and sewn or previously sewn tubular, so that the rod 20 can be inserted. The rod 20 is then inserted with the substance or the film in the bearing recess of the lower or upper fastening means 17, 18 with simultaneous insertion of the fabric or the film in the longitudinal gap 19 and secured therein. So that the profile 16 can not move, can from the FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 apparent side closure members 26, 27, 28 are used, which have for this purpose clamping plugs 29 which are pressed into the bearing recesses of the upper and lower fastening means 17, 18.

The profile 16 also has another advantage. It can also be a lower weighting element at the end of the curtain or a field of several fields Be attached curtain. In this case, for example, the eyelet 9 can be used to attach the drawstrings. So it need not be provided separate building elements. The attachment can also be done on a guide eye 9, as in Fig. 15 is shown. The hole runs parallel to the pivot axis. Such a guide eyelet 9 can be used to attach to the top profile 16 on the pleated curtain, which in this case forms a curtain support bar, to deflect the drawstrings or drawstrings running from the bottom up. The drawstrings can then be supplied, for example, a deflector 24 with stopper, as he out Fig. 16 is apparent. This deflector 24 can be inserted laterally with the bearing lug 30 in the bearing recess of the lower fastening means 18. The lower functional part emerges from the longitudinal gap 19. It can be seen that the illustrated profile 16 is versatile. It can even in the case that it serves as a support rod, in the upper fastening means 17 slider 21, as shown Fig. 12 see, or a holder 22, as in Fig. 13 is shown, are inserted to make a insertion and / or fixation in a longitudinal groove of a curtain rail or storage on a curtain rod can. The drawn screws 23 serve to fix the retaining lug of the slider 21 or the holder 22 in the longitudinal bearing recess of the fastening means 17th

If the folding curtain is equipped with such profiles 16, the folding curtain behaves exactly as based on the Fig. 1, 2 described. Whether the curtain is now continuous or divided into individual vertical or horizontal fields. The use of the profile 16 also has the advantage that, for example, in a curtain of 90 cm width, only two drawstrings must be provided laterally to gather the drapery curtain or drain again. A guided tour in the rear of the curtain provided further eyelets is not required.

It is not necessary that the holders 25 are fastened with the eyelets 9 on the profiles 16. If, for example, ring eyelets are located below a profile 16 on the return line or the film, then the drawstrings can also be pulled through here. As soon as one hoisted weighting device reaches below the next one, the underfoot automatically falls forward due to the then unstable state and gives the fold shape and direction.
