Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Führungsglied für einen Rafflamellenstore sowie einen Rafflamellenstore mit entsprechenden Führungsgliedern.The invention relates to a guide member for a Rafflamellenstore and a Rafflamellenstore with corresponding guide members.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Führungsglieder für Rafflamellenstoren sind beispielsweise aus der CH 653 096 bekannt. Jeder Rafflamellenstore wird an seinen Lamellenenden mit einem Führungsglied versehen, welches eine mit dem Lamellenende verbundene Platte aufweist, an der ein in den Seitenführungen des Stores geführter Schwenkzapfen befestigt ist. Zum endseitigen Versteifen der Lamellen wird die Platte vorteilhafterweise um die Lamellenränder, auch Lamellenbördel genannt, herumgezogen und fixiert. Denn die Lamellenränder können durch insbesondere auch rechtwinkliges Aufbiegen des Randes versteift werden.Guide members for Rafflamellenstoren are for example from the CH 653 096 known. Each Rafflamellenstore is provided at its lamella ends with a guide member having a plate connected to the blade end, to which a guided in the side guides of the store pivot pin is attached. For end stiffening of the slats, the plate is advantageously around the lamellar edges, also called Lamellenbördel, pulled around and fixed. Because the lamellar edges can be stiffened by in particular also right-angled bending of the edge.

Es ist auch nachteilig, dass unterschiedliche Führungsglieder für linke und rechte Enden von Storenlamellen bereitgehalten werden müssen. Werden gleichartige Elemente des Standes der Technik für das rechte und das linke Ende eines Storen verwendet, so hat der Zapfen oder die Endfläche bezüglich der Hauptachse der Lamelle rotationssymmetrisch zu sein, was den in einer Seitenführung eingeführten Flansch das Führungsgliedes noch einmal dicker macht, um ein sicheres Führen in diesen seitlichen Führungsschienen zu gewährleisten.It is also disadvantageous that different guide members must be kept ready for left and right ends of blind slats. If similar prior art elements are used for the right and left ends of a blind, the pin or end face must be rotationally symmetric with respect to the major axis of the sipe, making the guide member thicker in the guide once again to ensure safe guidance in these lateral guide rails.

Eine Möglichkeit des Standes der Technik in diesem Zusammenhang liegt darin, nur jeweils ein seitliches Ende einer Lamelle eines Rafflamellenstores mit einem Führungsglied verwendet wird, so dass sich bei einem Blick von vorne auf die Lamelle und das Führungsglied eine Abfolge der Führungsglieder rechts-links-rechts-links-... ergibt. Damit steht zwar die doppelte Höhe für den Flansch jedes Führungsgliedes zur Verfügung. Andererseits ist die Führung in den seitlichen Führungsschienen nicht optimal. Dies ist umso nachteiliger, wenn die Rafflamellenstoren in windigen Lagen eingebaut werden.One possibility of the prior art in this context is that only one lateral end of a slat of a Rafflamellenstores is used with a guide member, so that when viewed from the front of the slat and the guide member, a sequence of guide members right-left-right -Left-... results. Thus, while the double height for the flange of each guide member is available. On the other hand, the guide in the lateral guide rails is not optimal. This is all the more disadvantageous if the Rafflamellenstoren be installed in windy conditions.

Problematisch ist bei den Führungsgliedern gemäss dem Stand der Technik ebenfalls, dass diese eine Dicke aufweisen, welche einen Abstand von aufeinanderliegenden Storenlamellen erfordert, wenn diese eingezogen sind und aufeinanderliegen. Damit einher geht das Problem, dass die Führungsglieder in nicht optimaler Form aufeinanderliegen, wobei dies insbesondere für Storen gilt, bei denen die Führungsglieder entlang einer schrägen Fläche der Storenlamellen angeordnet sind.It is also problematic in the guide members according to the prior art that they have a thickness which requires a distance from superimposed blind slats when they are retracted and lie on one another. This is accompanied by the problem that the guide members are superimposed in a non-optimal form, and this applies in particular to blinds, in which the guide members are arranged along an inclined surface of the blind slats.

Beim Stand der Technik können die Lamellen nicht lagerichtig aufeinander gestapelt werden, weil anstatt der Lamellenbördel die Verdickungen der Führungsnasen am Ende des Führungsgliedschaftes aufeinanderliegen. Zwischen zwei Lamellenbördeln von benachbarten Lamellen bestehen somit Lücken, so dass die Lamellen nicht unterstützt sind und sich die Gewichtsbelastung auf die Führungsgliedschäfte überträgt.In the prior art, the lamellae can not be stacked in the correct position, because instead of the lamellar flanges, the thickening of the guide lugs at the end of the guide member shaft lie on each other. Thus, there are gaps between two lamellar flanging of adjacent lamellae, so that the lamellae are not supported and the weight load is transmitted to the guide link shafts.

Um diesem Problem zu begegnen, werden beim Stand der Technik die Lamellen nicht an beiden Enden mit Führungsgliedern versehen, sondern beispielsweise nur wechselseitig an einem Lamellenende und bei der benachbarten nächsten Lamelle nur am gegenüberliegenden Ende, so dass zwischen drei Lamellen die mittlere Lamelle jeweils ein Führungsglied am rechten Lamellenende und die beiden anderen Lamellen je ein Führungsglied am linken Lamellenende erhalten. Aus dieser wechselseitig einseitigen Bestückung der Lamellen mit Führungsgliedern ergibt sich beim Stand der Technik eine dünnere aber instabile und windanfällige Storenmontage und zwangsläufig ein entsprechend schadensanfälliger Storenbetrieb.In order to counteract this problem, in the prior art, the slats are not provided at both ends with guide members, but for example only mutually at one fin end and at the adjacent next slat only at the opposite end, so that between three slats, the middle slat one guide member at the right end of the lamella and the other two lamellae each receive a guide member on the left end of the lamella. From this mutually one-sided assembly of slats with guide members results in the prior art, a thinner but unstable and wind-prone Storenmontage and inevitably a corresponding damage susceptible Storenbetrieb.

Die US 2,770,296 A betrifft Führungsglieder für einen Lamellenstoren. Das Führungsglied umfasst hierbei ein Befestigungselement und einen Schaft, wobei sich am Ende des Schafts eine teilweise ausgenommene Scheibe anschliesst, welche zum Eingriff in eine Seitenführungsschiene geeignet ist. Scheiben von gestapelten Lamellen liegen seitlich durch den Schaft geführt übereinander.The US 2,770,296 A relates to guide members for a slat blind. The guide member in this case comprises a fastening element and a shaft, wherein the end of the shaft is followed by a partially recessed disc, which is suitable for engagement in a side guide rail. Slices of stacked lamellae are guided laterally through the shaft one above the other.

Die EP 0 616 108 A1 betrifft ebenfalls einen Lamellenstoren, wobei ein Führungsbolzen an den Enden der Lamellen vorgesehen ist, an dessen Ende sich ein Gleitstück anschliesst. Führungsbolzen und Gleitstück bilden hierbei ein T-förmiges Führungsglied, welches in eine Seitenführungsschiene eingreift.The EP 0 616 108 A1 also relates to a slat blind, wherein a guide pin is provided at the ends of the slats, at the end of which a slider adjoins. Guide pin and slider in this case form a T-shaped guide member which engages in a side guide rail.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Um diese Nachteile zu überwinden und gleichzeitig eine Führungsgliedkonstruktion anzugeben, die eine einwandfreiere Lamellenführung bei grosser Windstabilität, funktionierendem Lamellenstapel und auf alle bekannten Lamellentypen passende Führungsglieder zur Verfügung zu stellen, ist ein Führungsglied gemäss der vorliegenden Erfindung vorgesehen.In order to overcome these disadvantages and at the same time to provide a guide member construction which ensures a more faultless slat guidance with great wind stability, functioning lamella stack and to provide all known types of lamellae guide members available, a guide member according to the present invention is provided.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Führungsglied für einen Rafflamellenstore und ein Rafflamellenstore mit entsprechenden Führungsgliedern anzugeben, welche die oben genannten Nachteile überwindet.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a guide member for a Rafflamellenstore and a Rafflamellenstore with corresponding guide members, which overcomes the disadvantages mentioned above.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ein universelles Führungsglied bzw. ein universelles Führungsmittel anzugeben, das eine Abfolge von Lamellen eines Rafflamellenstores sicher und bei vielen Windbedingungen in der zugehörigen Seitenführung hält.In this context, it is an object of the present invention to provide a universal guide member or a universal guide means that holds a sequence of slats of a Rafflamellenstores safe and in many wind conditions in the associated side guide.

Diese Aufgaben und Ziele der Erfindung werden bei einem Führungsglied für einen Rafflamellenstore mit einer Vielzahl von Lamellen, das einen Befestigungsflansch aufweist, an den sich ein Führungsschaft anschliesst, der in einen Führungsflansch übergeht, durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.These objects and objects of the invention are achieved in a guide member for a multi-fin Venetian blind having a mounting flange to which a guide shaft merges into a guide flange is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf eine Lamelle 12 mit zwei seitlichen Führungsgliedern 2, die in entsprechenden Seitenführungen X eingesetzt sind. Bei den zwei Seitenführungen X handelt es sich in den meisten Anwendungsfällen um jeweils ein Hohlprofil, welches in der Fig. 1 in der Draufsicht zu sehen ist. Die zwei Führungsschienen X werden in einem parallelen Abstand voneinander zumeist über die Breite des mit dem Lamellenstoren abzudeckenden Fenster, Tür oder Durchgang montiert und weisen einen Innenraum 21 auf, in dem, wie in der Fig. 1 dargestellt, die Führungsnase 5 des Führungsgliedes 2 hineinragt. Dafür besteht auf den sich gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen der beiden Führungsschienen X jeweils ein Führungsschlitz 17, in dem das Führungsglied 2 einsetzbar und dann rechtwinklig zur Zeichnungsebene der Fig. 1 verschiebbar ist.The Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a blade 12 with two lateral guide members 2, which are inserted in respective side guides X. In the two side guides X is in most cases a hollow profile, which in the Fig. 1 can be seen in the plan view. The two guide rails X are mounted at a parallel distance from one another usually across the width of the window, door or passage to be covered by the slat blind and have an interior space 21 in which, as in FIG Fig. 1 illustrated, the guide lug 5 of the guide member 2 protrudes. For this there is on the opposite side surfaces of the two guide rails X each have a guide slot 17, in which the guide member 2 can be used and then at right angles to the plane of the drawing Fig. 1 is displaceable.

Die zwei seitlichen Führungsglieder 2 sind an den kurzen Seitenenden der Lamelle 12 über jeweils einen Befestigungsflansch 6 befestigt, wobei dies beim in der Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel über Nietverbindungen 7 geschieht, die durch entsprechende Bohrungen in der Lamelle 12 hindurchgeführt sind.The two lateral guide members 2 are attached to the short side ends of the slat 12 via a respective mounting flange 6, wherein this when in the Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment of rivet connections 7, which are passed through corresponding holes in the blade 12.

Ein Rafflamellenstore besteht dann aus einzelnen Lamellen 12, welche mit geeigneten, dem Fachmann bekannten Mitteln miteinander verbunden sind. Die Führungsglieder 2 sorgen dafür, dass die Storen, die in Längsrichtung der Führungsschienen X senkrecht zur Hauptebene der Lamellen 12 auf und ab bewegt werden können, in diesen Führungsschienen X geführt sind. Gleichzeitig sind die Lamellen 12 um ihre Hauptachse 20 verdrehbar, um sie platzsparend verstauen zu können, um bei horizontaler Stellung Licht durch die Lamellenzwischenräume dringen zu lassen und um bei senkrechter oder nahezu senkrechter Stellung der Lamellen einen Sichtschutz und gegebenenfalls einen Zugangsschutz zu gewährleisten. Häufig weisen Lamellen 12 einen verstärkten Rand 1 auf, der auch als Bördel 1 ausgestaltet sein kann, wie er sich aus der Fig. 6 ergibt. Auch sind Lamellen 12, 13 nicht notwendigerweise, wie in der Fig. 1 dargestellt plan oder leicht gewölbt, sondern haben eine Vielzahl von verschiedenen Formen wie in der Fig. 6 dargestellt Z-förmig, S-förmig oder C-förmig, wobei die Führungsglieder 2 gemäss der Erfindung gewährleisten, dass die Lamellen 12, wie in der Fig. 6 dargestellt, einwandfrei aufeinander gestapelt sind und die Dimensionen der Lamellenbördel 1 mit der Gesamtdicke des Führungsgliedes 2 übereinstimmen, um die Stapelbarkeit der Lamellenpackung zu gewährleisten. Die senkrechte Führung jeder Lamelle 12 wird durch den Führungsglied-Schaft 4 gesichert. Die Seitenführung, d.h. die Seitenhalterung jeder Lamelle 12 übernimmt die balkenförmige Verdickung der Führungsnase 5 am Ende des Schaftes 4. Diese ist daher in ihren Massen breiter als die Breite des Führungsschlitzes 17 in der Führungsschiene X. Mit anderen Worten, bei bevorzugten Ausführungsformen kann die Führungsnase 5 der Lamelle 12 nur von oben oder unten in den hohlen Innenraum 21 eingeführt werden und durch den Führungsschlitz 17 hindurchragen.A Rafflamellenstore then consists of individual slats 12, which with suitable, the skilled person known means are interconnected. The guide members 2 ensure that the blinds, which can be moved up and down in the longitudinal direction of the guide rails X perpendicular to the main plane of the slats 12, are guided in these guide rails X. At the same time, the slats 12 are rotatable about their main axis 20 in order to stow them to save space in order to allow light to penetrate through the slat gaps in the horizontal position and to ensure a privacy and possibly an access protection in vertical or nearly vertical position of the slats. Often, slats 12 have a reinforced edge 1, which can also be configured as a flange 1, as it is apparent from the Fig. 6 results. Also, fins 12, 13 are not necessarily as shown in FIG Fig. 1 shown plan or slightly arched, but have a variety of different shapes as in the Fig. 6 illustrated Z-shaped, S-shaped or C-shaped, wherein the guide members 2 according to the invention ensure that the slats 12, as in the Fig. 6 represented, perfectly stacked on each other and the dimensions of the lamellar flange 1 with the total thickness of the guide member 2 match to ensure the stackability of the lamellar packing. The vertical guide of each blade 12 is secured by the guide member shaft 4. The side guide, ie the side bracket of each blade 12 assumes the bar-shaped thickening of the guide lug 5 at the end of the shaft 4. This is therefore wider in their masses than the width of the guide slot 17 in the guide rail X. In other words, in preferred embodiments, the guide lug 5 of the blade 12 are inserted only from above or below in the hollow interior 21 and protrude through the guide slot 17.

Die Lamellen 12 können aus Kunststoff, zum Beispiel gespritzt, oder aus Metall, beispielsweise gestanzt, hergestellt werden. Die Führungsglieder können sowohl gegossen, gedreht, gepresst, geschmiedet oder gespritzt hergestellt werden, wobei dem Fachmann bekannte Buntmetall-Legierungen, Leichtmetall-Legierungen, Stahl-Legierungen und auch Kunststoffe eingesetzt werden können.The fins 12 may be made of plastic, for example injection-molded, or of metal, for example stamped. The guide members can be produced both cast, turned, pressed, forged or injection-molded, with the skilled worker known non-ferrous alloys, light alloys, steel alloys and plastics can be used.

Das Führungsglied 2 ist nun so konstruiert, dass es an die meisten Lamellentypen durch das erläuterte Aufnieten moniert werden kann.The guide member 2 is now designed so that it can be complained to most types of slats by the illustrated riveting.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf ein Führungsglied 2 aus der Fig. 1. Gleiche oder ähnliche Merkmale haben in allen Zeichnungen und Ausführungsbeispielen die gleichen Bezugszeichen erhalten.The Fig. 2 shows a plan view of a guide member 2 from the Fig. 1 , Same or Similar features have been given the same reference numerals in all drawings and exemplary embodiments.

Der Schaft 4 des Führungsgliedes 2 erstreckt sich entlang der Hauptachse 20 des Führungsglied 2, welche vorteilhafterweise in der Mitte oder im mittleren Bereich einer Lamelle 12 entsprechend deren longitudinalen Ausrichtung montiert wird. An den im Querschnitt vorteilhafterweise runden Schaft 4, dessen Dimension so ausgelegt ist, dass er in die gängigen Führungsschlitze 17 von Führungsschienen X passt, schliesst sich ein flacher, plattenförmiger Befestigungsflansch 6 an, an dem im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Gruppen von Nietschäften 7 bzw. 8 oben und unten auf der Platte vorgesehen sind. In der Fig. 2 sind zwei Nietschäfte 7 zu erkennen, die in einem Abstand auf der Achse 20 vorgesehen sind. Damit kann die axiale Ausrichtung des Führungsgliedes 2 auf der Lamelle 12 festgelegt werden. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, durch einen entsprechenden Formschluss in der Lamellenoberfläche eine solche Ausrichtung zu gewährleisten und dann eventuell nur einen Nietschaft 7 vorzusehen. Ferner ist es denkbar, drei oder mehr Befestigungspunkte zu haben. Schliesslich ist es auch denkbar, dass die entsprechenden Elemente 7 nur zur Ausrichtung bezüglich der Lamelle dienen und die Verbindung durch Schweissen oder eine Klebung bewerkstelligt wird.The shaft 4 of the guide member 2 extends along the main axis 20 of the guide member 2, which is advantageously mounted in the middle or in the middle region of a blade 12 according to their longitudinal orientation. The shank 4, whose cross section is advantageously round, whose dimension is designed to fit into the usual guide slots 17 of guide rails X, is adjoined by a flat, plate-shaped fastening flange 6, on which two groups of rivet shanks 7 and 8, respectively, in the illustrated embodiment are provided above and below on the plate. In the Fig. 2 two rivet shanks 7 can be seen, which are provided at a distance on the axis 20. Thus, the axial alignment of the guide member 2 can be set on the lamella 12. Of course, it is also possible to ensure such an orientation by a corresponding positive fit in the slat surface and then possibly only provide a rivet shank 7. Furthermore, it is conceivable to have three or more attachment points. Finally, it is also conceivable that the corresponding elements 7 serve only for alignment with respect to the lamella and the connection is accomplished by welding or gluing.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt eine Seitenansicht des Führungsgliedes 2 nach der Fig. 2. Hier ist gut zu erkennen, dass der Schaft 4 einen grösseren Durchmesser als die sich anschliessende Befestigungsflanschplatte 6 aufweist. Die Befestigungsplatte 6 hat zwei gegenüberliegende Oberflächen 61, die in gleicher Weise geeignet sind, gegen die Lamelle 12 zu stossen. Hierfür sind auf beiden Seiten, vorzugsweise an identischen Orten gegenüberliegend die Nietschäfte 7 bzw. 8 vorgesehen.The Fig. 3 shows a side view of the guide member 2 after the Fig. 2 , Here it can be clearly seen that the shaft 4 has a larger diameter than the adjoining mounting flange plate 6. The mounting plate 6 has two opposite surfaces 61, which are equally suitable to abut against the blade 12. For this purpose, the Nietschäfte 7 and 8 are provided on both sides, preferably at identical locations opposite.

Es ist somit im Zusammenspiel mit der Form der Schaftnase 5 erkennbar, dass durch Drehen des Führungsgliedes 2 um 180° um seine Hauptachse 20, die Führungsnase 5 in die bezüglich der Lamellenebene gegenüberliegende Seite ausgerichtet ist. Somit ist es möglich mit einem Typ von Führungsgliedern 2 beide Orientierungen für die Befestigung an der Lamelle 12 zu gewährleisten. Bei Umdrehen eines Führungsgliedes 2 ragt die Nase 5 in eine andere Seite des hohlen Innenraums 21.It is thus in conjunction with the shape of the shank nose 5 recognizable that by turning the guide member 2 by 180 ° about its main axis 20, the guide nose 5 is aligned in the respect to the lamellar plane opposite side. Thus, it is possible with one type of guide members 2 to ensure both orientations for attachment to the lamella 12. When turning over a guide member 2, the nose 5 protrudes into another side of the hollow interior 21st

Der Schaft 4 des Führungsgliedes 2 ist vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Befestigungsflansch 6 verbunden und insbesondere rund für ein störungsfreies Durchtreten durch den Führungsschlitz 17. Die Führungsnase 5 steht im 90° Winkel seitlich zur Schaftachse 20 ab und verfügt über eine dreieckförmige Verdickung 10, die insbesondere in der Ansicht der Fig. 4 erkennbar ist, welche eine Vorderansicht auf das Führungsglied gemäss Fig. 2 beinhaltet. Dort ist erkennbar, dass die Oberseite 31 der Nase 5 tangential fluchtend in den Endbereich des Führungsgliedschaftes 4 übergeht. Auf der Unterseite der Nase 5 besteht gegenüber dem runden Durchmesser des Führungsgliedschaftes 4 eine gerundete Ausnehmung 32, die dann in den besagten verdickten dreieckigen Bereich 10 des Hakens übergeht. Vorteilhafterweise ist die gegenüber dem Führungsgliedschaft 4 liegende seitliche Endfläche 33 leicht konvex gebogen, um bei einem Anstossen im Innenraum 21 der Führungsschiene X gleitend aufzuliegen.The shaft 4 of the guide member 2 is preferably integrally connected to the mounting flange 6 and in particular round for a trouble-free passage through the guide slot 17. The guide lug 5 is at 90 ° angle laterally to the shaft axis 20 and has a triangular thickening 10, which in particular the view of Fig. 4 it can be seen which a front view of the guide member according to Fig. 2 includes. There it can be seen that the upper side 31 of the nose 5 merges tangentially into the end region of the guide member shaft 4. On the underside of the nose 5 is compared to the round diameter of the guide member shaft 4 a rounded recess 32, which then merges into the said thickened triangular portion 10 of the hook. Advantageously, the lying opposite the guide member 4 lateral end surface 33 is slightly convexly bent to slide in abutment in the interior 21 of the guide rail X slidably.

Die konkave Ausnehmung 32 weist vorteilhafterweise eine Tiefe auf, die in der Draufsicht der Fig. 4 noch die untere Oberfläche 61 des Befestigungsflansches erkennen lässt, was weiterhin im Zusammenhang mit den Fig. 6 und 7 erläutert wird.The concave recess 32 advantageously has a depth which in the plan view of Fig. 4 still reveals the lower surface 61 of the mounting flange, which further in connection with the 6 and 7 is explained.

Die Fig. 5 zeigt ein Führungsglied 2 gemäss einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, bei dem der Befestigungsflansch 6 mit zwei Nietbohrungen 9 versehen ist, durch welche sich Nieten 91 erstrecken können, die dann durch entsprechende Bohrungen in der Lamelle 12 hindurchgeführt und durch Vernietung verbunden werden. Der Schaft 4 und die Nase 5 des Führungsgliedes sind vorteilhafterweise identisch zu der Nase 5 und dem Führungsschaft 4 des ersten Ausführungsbeispieles ausgestaltet.The Fig. 5 shows a guide member 2 according to a second embodiment of the invention, in which the mounting flange 6 is provided with two rivet holes 9 through which rivets 91 may extend, which are then passed through corresponding holes in the blade 12 and connected by riveting. The shaft 4 and the nose 5 of the guide member are advantageously identical to the nose 5 and the guide shaft 4 of the first embodiment configured.

Die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Vorderansicht eines Rafflamellenstores mit Führungsgliedern 2 gemäss der Erfindung. Diese Zeichnung ist am einfachsten zusammen mit den Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 bis 11 zu erläutern.The Fig. 6 shows a front view of a Rafflamellenstores with guide members 2 according to the invention. This drawing is easiest together with the Fig. 7 and 8 to 11 to explain.

Dabei ist zu erkennen, dass es sich bei den Lamellen 12 und 13 um sogenannte Z-förmige Lamellen 12 und 13 handelt, die an den Lamellenbördeln 1 aufeinander liegen. Die Z-Form führt dazu, dass gegenüber einer Basislinie 16 ein Schwenkwinkel W besteht. Die Basislinie 16 entspricht der horizontalen Verbindungslinie zwischen den Führungsschienen X, die vorteilhafterweise in einem 90° Winkel zu der Basislinie 16 errichtet werden.It can be seen that the lamellae 12 and 13 are so-called Z-shaped lamellae 12 and 13 which lie against one another on the lamellar flanges 1. The Z-shape leads to a pivot angle W in relation to a baseline 16. The base line 16 corresponds to the horizontal connecting line between the guide rails X, which are advantageously erected at a 90 ° angle to the base line 16.

Die Fig. 7 zeigt nun eine vergrösserte Ansicht des zentralen Bereichs der Fig. 6 mit einer Abfolge von vier Lamellen 12 und 13 und entsprechend vier Führungsgliedern 2, die an jeweils einer zugehörigen Lamelle befestigt 12 und 13 sind.The Fig. 7 now shows an enlarged view of the central area of the Fig. 6 with a sequence of four lamellae 12 and 13 and correspondingly four guide members 2, which are fastened respectively to an associated lamella 12 and 13.

Zum Verständnis der Fig. 6 und 7 wird zuvor auf die Fig. 8 bis 11 eingegangen, welche in den Fig. 8 und 10 jeweils eine Vorderansicht einer einzigen Lamelle 12 bzw. 13 mit einem Führungsglied 2 gemäss Fig. 6 darstellen und zwar in einander gegenüberliegender Ausrichtung der Nase 5. Die Fig. 9 und 11 zeigen Draufsichten auf die Lamellen 12 bzw. 13 der Fig. 8 und 10. Die Fig. 6 liefert dann eine Abfolge von vier Lamellen 12 bzw. 13 übereinander, bei denen sich jeweils zwei Paare von Eingriffen der Führungsglieder 2 ineinander ergeben wie es nun im Zusammenhang mit der Fig. 7 erläutert wird. Bei der Montage der Führungsglieder 2 an die Lamellen 12 stehen die Führungsnasen 5 von oben auf die Lamelle 12 gesehen nach links in der Zeichnung ab, während bei der Montage an die Lamellen 13 die Führungsnasen 5 von oben auf die jeweils Lamelle 13 gesehen nach rechts abstehen. Die Führungsschäfte 4 der Führungsglieder 2 dienen als Senkrechtführung in den Schlitzen 17 der Führungsschienen X.To understand the 6 and 7 beforehand on the 8 to 11 entered, which in the FIGS. 8 and 10 in each case a front view of a single lamella 12 or 13 with a guide member 2 according to Fig. 6 represent and in opposite directions of the nose 5. Die FIGS. 9 and 11 show top views of the slats 12 and 13 of the FIGS. 8 and 10 , The Fig. 6 then supplies a sequence of four lamellae 12 and 13 one above the other, in which two pairs of interventions of the guide members 2 result in each other as it now in connection with the Fig. 7 is explained. When mounting the guide members 2 to the fins 12, the guide lugs 5 are seen from above on the lamella 12 to the left in the drawing, while in the assembly to the fins 13, the guide lugs 5 projecting from the top of each lamella 13 projecting to the right , The guide shafts 4 of the guide members 2 serve as a vertical guide in the slots 17 of the guide rails X.

Die Führungsnasen 5 mit ihren Verdickungen 10 bzw. 11 übernehmen die seitliche Wagrechtführung der jeweiligen Lamellen 12 bzw. 13. Die Befestigungsflächen an den Lamellen können von der Basislinie 16 in einem Winkel von beispielsweise zwischen 0° und 45° verschieden sein. Die Fig. 6 und die vergrösserte Fig. 7 zeigen einen solchen Montagewinkel W von 45° zur Basislinie 16 und es zeigt sich, dass selbst bei einer solchen geneigten Montage mit den Führungsgliedern 2 eine einwandfreie Lamellenstapelung gemäss Fig. 7 möglich ist. Es ist umso mehr eine zweckmässige beidseitige Bestückung der Lamellen 12, 13 mit Führungsgliedern 2 zur Sicherung einer guten Funktion, für eine hohe Windbeständigkeit und zur Abwehr des Einflusses von anderen schädigenden Kräften möglich. Die dreieckförmige Verdickung 10 bzw. 11 der jeweiligen Führungsnasen 5 liefern in der Führungsschiene X einen optimalen Seitenhalt. Bei einer Stapelung wie in der Fig. 7 gezeigt, bilden die Schäfte 4 der Führungsglieder einen runden zylindrischen Knopf 3, der sich in die gerundete Ausnehmung 32 direkt komplementär oder im wesentlichen komplementär einschmiegt.The guide lugs 5 with their thickenings 10 and 11 take on the lateral Wagrechtführung the respective slats 12 and 13. The mounting surfaces on the slats may be different from the base line 16 at an angle of for example between 0 ° and 45 °. The Fig. 6 and the enlarged one Fig. 7 show such a mounting angle W of 45 ° to the base line 16 and it turns out that even with such a tilted mounting with the guide members 2 a perfect lamella stack according Fig. 7 is possible. It is all the more a convenient two-sided assembly of the slats 12, 13 with guide members 2 to ensure a good function, for a high wind resistance and to ward off the influence of other damaging forces possible. The triangular thickening 10 and 11 of the respective guide lugs 5 provide optimal lateral support in the guide rail X. In a stacking as in the Fig. 7 Shown 4, the shanks 4 of the guide members form a round cylindrical knob 3, which nestles in the rounded recess 32 directly complementary or substantially complementary.

Dadurch bilden zwei benachbarte, in ihren Nasen 5 umgekehrt zueinander montierten Führungsglieder 2 mit ihren flachen Aussenflächen und Oberseiten 31 sowie den leicht konvexen Endflächen 33 nahezu eine Quaderpackung, die mit den benachbarten Quaderpackungen übereinanderliegt, je nach Neigung W mehr oder weniger seitlich verschoben. Dabei ist der Lamellenbördel 1 vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, dass die Lamellen 12, 13 wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt an den Bördeln 1 direkt und im Bereich der Nasen 5 über die Flächen 31 der Führungsglieder 2 aufeinander liegen und gegebenenfalls auch durch die Abfolge Befestigungsflansch 6 - Lamellenfläche 12/13 der Führungsglieder 2 gestützt werden.
