Abstract

The invention relates to a guiding arrangement for accommodating and moving closing elements such as blinds, doors, covers, and similar contrivances used in furniture, openings of buildings, swimming pools, and the like. The aim of the invention is to reduce the drawbacks of prior art and devise a guiding arrangement which can be produced inexpensively and economically, can be used for various widths of closing elements, and ensures that both straight and curved tracks have the same width without using additional shaped pieces. Said aim is achieved by a guiding arrangement composed of individual elements that can be effectively interconnected. At least one individual element is provided with at least two webs that adjoin each other by means of a separation.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Führungsanordnung zur Aufnahme und Bewegung von Verschlusselementen wie Jalousien, Türen, Abdeckungen und dergleichen für den Einsatz in Möbeln, Gebäudeöffnungen, Schwimmbädern und dergleichen.The invention relates to a guide arrangement for receiving and moving closure elements such as blinds, doors, covers and the like for use in furniture, building openings, swimming pools and the like.

Derartige Führungsanordnungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik an sich bekannt.
So wird beispielsweise in der EP 0669443 eine Führungsanordnung beschrieben. Diese Führungsanordnung aus Kunststoff weist eine Kehle für das Anbringen und Führen eines Verschlussvorhanges, beispielsweise für Möbel, sowie bekannte Befestigungsmittel in Form von Löchern auf. Diese Führungsanordnung soll dadurch gekennzeichnet sein, dass sie Einklinkmittel aufweist, die dazu bestimmt sind, in Aussparungen in den Möbelwänden eingesetzt zu werden, wobei die Einklinkmittel zwei an ihrer Außenseite abgeschrägte und von einer hohlen Aufnahme getrennte Laschen umfassen. Diese Führungsanordnung aus einem polymeren Werkstoff wird in an sich bekannter Weise im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt, so dass diese Führungsanordnung nur für bestimmte definierte Möbelgrößen einsetzbar ist.
Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Führungsanordnung besteht darin, dass die sogenannte Kehle eine bestimmte Breite und eine bestimmte Höhe aufweist, die fix sind, so dass diese Führungsanordnung nur für bestimmte definierte Breiten von Jalousien, Türen, Abdeckungen und dgl. einsetzbar ist.
Somit ist es erforderlich, für verschiedene Geometrien von beispielsweise Schrankmöbeln, Gebäudeöffnungen, Schwimmbädern und dgl. jeweils separate Führungsanordnungen zu konstruieren und entsprechend kostenintensive Spritzgießwerkzeuge herzustellen.
Die Führungsanordnung nach dem bekannten Stand der Technik ist somit nicht flexibel einsetzbar und dadurch bedingt auch in ihrer Herstellung sowie in ihrer Montage zeit- und kosten intensiv.
Such guide arrangements are known per se from the prior art.
For example, in the EP 0669443 a guide described. This guide assembly made of plastic has a throat for attaching and guiding a closure curtain, for example, for furniture, as well as known fastening means in the form of holes. This guide assembly is to be characterized in that it comprises Einklinkmittel which are intended to be inserted into recesses in the furniture walls, wherein the latching means comprise two slanted on its outside and separated by a hollow receptacle tabs. This guide arrangement of a polymeric material is produced in a conventional manner by injection molding, so that this guide arrangement can be used only for certain defined furniture sizes.
Another disadvantage of this guide arrangement is that the so-called throat has a certain width and a certain height, which are fixed, so that this guide arrangement can be used only for certain defined widths of blinds, doors, covers and the like.
Thus, it is necessary for different geometries of, for example, cabinet furniture, building openings, swimming pools and the like. Each to construct separate guide assemblies and produce correspondingly expensive injection molding tools.
The guide assembly according to the prior art is thus not flexible and therefore requires time and cost intensive in their manufacture and in their assembly.

Eine weitere Führungsanordnung ist in der DE 29907856 U1 dargestellt. Es wird eine Führungsanordnung beschrieben zur Aufnahme von Gleit- und Schiebeelementen, wie beispielsweise Jalousien, Rollläden oder Schiebetüren, in zumindest einer U- schienenförmigen Leitbahn an Möbeln mit einem am Möbelkorpus befestigbaren Basisprofil und einem mit diesem verbindbaren Abdeckprofil zur Abdeckung der Befestigung des Basisprofils am Möbelkorpus.
Diese Führungsanordnung für Schrankmöbel soll preisgünstig hergestellt werden können, sowie auf einfache Weise an den jeweiligen Einsatzzweck anpassbar sein und somit grundsätzlich eine Option zur Aufnahme verschiedener Gleit- oder Schiebeelemente ermöglichen. Realisiert werden soll dies dadurch, dass die Gleitbahn in einem separaten Schienenelement ausgebildet ist, das lösbar in einer Ausnehmung des Basisprofils eingesetzt ist. Das Basisprofil kann dabei eine vordere und eine weitere hintere Ausnehmung aufweisen.
Nachteilig bei dieser Führungsanordnung wird gesehen, dass die Bereitstellung eines Basisprofils sowie eines Abdeckprofils und eines zusätzlichen Schienenelementes zu hohen Herstellungs- und Montagekosten sowie zu einem beträchtlichen Logistikaufwand in der Lagerhaltung führt. Dies insbesondere unter der Tatsache, dass verschiedene Schrankabmessungen in verschiedenen Dekoren mit derartigen Führungsanordnungen bestückt werden müssen. Ein weiterer Nachteil wird darin gesehen, dass das Basisprofil und das dem zugeordnete Schienenelement jeweils nur für eine definierte Breite von Gleit- und Schiebeelementen einsetzbar sind.
Die Führungsanordnung kann nachteiligerweise auch nur an solche beispielsweise Schrankmöbel montiert werden, bei denen die Gleit- und Schiebeelemente vor dem Korpus bewegbar sind.
Beim Einbau von Gleit- und Schiebeelementen wie beispielsweise Jalousien bzw. Rollläden, welche innerhalb des Korpus des Schrankmöbels bzw. innerhalb der Gebäudeöffnung bewegbar sein sollen, sind diese Führungsanordnungen nicht einsetzbar.
Weiterhin nachteilig bei dem bekannten Stand der Technik wird gesehen, dass beispielsweise beim Einsatz von Gleit- und Schiebeelementen wie beispielsweise Jalousien bzw. Rollläden mit der Führungsanordnung in den Eckbereichen zusätzlich bestimmte Umlenkelemente montiert werden müssen, in denen diese Gleit- und Schiebeelemente beispielsweise im Inneren des Schrankmöbels aufgenommen werden müssen, wie an sich bekannte Führungsschnecken bzw. Winkelelemente.
Bedingt durch die vorgegebenen Geometrien der Führungsanordnungen aus dem bekannten Stand der Technik können nur solche Verschlusselemente in die Führungsanordnung aufgenommen und in ihr bewegt werden, deren Außenabmessungen in etwa den Innenabmessungen der Führungsanordnung entsprechen. Bei unterschiedlichen Geometrien von Verschlusselementen, beispielsweise für Schrankmöbel, Gebäudeöffnungen, Schwimmbäder und dgl. sind jeweils separate Führungsanordnungen zu konstruieren und herzustellen, was die Herstellungskosten und die Lagerhaltungskosten nachteilig beeinflusst und mögliche Fehlmontagen fördert.
Another guide is in the DE 29907856 U1 shown. It is described a guide arrangement for receiving sliding and sliding elements, such as blinds, shutters or sliding doors, in at least one U-shaped rail Guideway to furniture with a fixable to the furniture body base profile and a connectable with this cover profile to cover the attachment of the base profile to the furniture body.
This guide arrangement for cupboards should be able to be produced inexpensively, as well as be easily adaptable to the particular application and thus basically allow an option for holding various sliding or sliding elements. This is to be realized in that the slide is formed in a separate rail member which is releasably inserted in a recess of the base profile. The base profile may have a front and a further rear recess.
A disadvantage of this guide arrangement is seen that the provision of a base profile and a cover profile and an additional rail element leads to high manufacturing and assembly costs and to a considerable logistics effort in the storage. This in particular under the fact that different cabinet dimensions must be fitted in different decors with such guide arrangements. Another disadvantage is seen in that the base profile and the associated rail element can be used in each case only for a defined width of sliding and sliding elements.
The guide arrangement can disadvantageously also be mounted only on those, for example, cabinet furniture, in which the sliding and sliding elements are movable in front of the body.
When installing sliding and sliding elements such as blinds or shutters, which should be movable within the body of the cabinet furniture or within the building opening, these guide arrangements are not applicable.
Another disadvantage of the known prior art is seen that, for example, when using sliding and sliding elements such as blinds or shutters with the guide assembly in the corner areas in addition certain deflecting elements must be mounted, in which these sliding and sliding elements, for example, inside the Cabinet furniture must be included, as known guide screws or angle elements.
Due to the predetermined geometries of the guide assemblies of the prior art, only such closure elements can be included in the guide assembly and moved into it, the outer dimensions correspond approximately to the inner dimensions of the guide assembly. For different geometries of closure elements, for example for cabinet furniture, building openings, swimming pools and the like. Each are to construct and manufacture separate guide assemblies, which adversely affects the cost of production and storage costs and promotes possible incorrect assembly.

Die EP-A-0697494 offenbart eine Führungsschiene, die dazu bestimmt ist, einen Schiebevorhang zu führen, insbesondere verwendbar als Möbeltüre, wobei diese Schiene einen U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweist, wobei die horizontale Basis des U auf der Innenseite vorspringend einen länglichen Vorsprung mit einem in seine Querrichtung symmetrischen konvexen Profil umfasst, wobei dieser Längsvorsprung von einer Vielzahl von Längsvorsprüngen (Buckel) gebildet wird, wobei jeder Längsvorsprung getrennt in der U-förmigen Schiene montiert und sodann befestigt wird, wobei jeder Längsvorsprung eine ebene Basis aufweist, die die gesamte Breite der Basis des U abdeckt. Die Führungsschiene weist dabei einen vorderen geradlinigen Teil, einen geknickten Teil und einen hinteren geradlinigen Teil auf. Der geknickte Teil umfasst ein erstes Kreisviertel, gefolgt von einem quer liegenden Segment und gefolgt von einem zweiten Kreisviertel. Das quer liegende Segment umfasst eine U-förmige Schiene, die zwei lange mittlere Buckel aufweist, die symmetrisch sind. Die beiden Enden eines Buckels sind abgeschrägt, wobei zwischen den Buckeln die Basis des U eben ist. Am freien Ende jedes Kreisviertels ist die Basis des U durch eine Zunge verlängert, die dazu bestimmt ist, in einer Kerbe der Basis des U des vorderen Teils oder des hinteren Teils zum Liegen zu kommen. Weiterhin zeigt die Basis der U-förmigen Schiene des vorderen Teils eine gewisse Anzahl von konvexen Buckeln, die die gesamte innere Breite des U einnehmen.The EP-A-0697494 discloses a guide rail which is intended to guide a sliding curtain, in particular usable as a furniture door, said rail having a U-shaped cross section, wherein the horizontal base of the U on the inside projecting an elongated projection with a symmetrical in its transverse direction convex profile wherein said longitudinal projection is formed by a plurality of longitudinal projections (bosses), each longitudinal projection being separately mounted in the U-shaped rail and then secured, each longitudinal projection having a planar base covering the entire width of the base of the U. The guide rail has a front rectilinear part, a bent part and a rear rectilinear part. The kinked part includes a first district quarter, followed by a transverse segment and followed by a second district district. The transverse segment comprises a U-shaped rail having two long central humps which are symmetrical. The two ends of a hump are beveled, with the base of the U being flat between the humps. At the free end of each quarter of the circle, the base of the U is extended by a tongue intended to lie in a notch on the base of the U of the front part or the rear part.
