Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz von insbesondere Dachrinnen gegen Verunreinigungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for protecting in particular gutters against contamination according to the preamble of claim 1.

Vorrichtungen der genannten Art dienen dazu, Laub und sonstige Verunreinigungen von Dachrinnen, Fallrohren oder dergleichen fernzuhalten. Aus der DE 92 13 325 U1 und der US 2 533 402 A bekannte Vorrichtungen dieser Art verfügen über ein längsgerichtet in einen Dachrinnentrog der Dachrinne einsetzbares, rohrartiges Abweisgitter. Dieses Abweisgitter dient als eine Art Filter, das vom Dach ablaufendes Regenwasser und Laub oder sonstige Verunreinigungen voneinander trennt, indem das Abweisgitter Regenwasser in den Dachrinnentrog durchlässt, aber Laub und sonstige Verunreinigungen vom Dachrinnentrog fernhält, indem Verunreinigungen vom Abweisgitter über die Dachrinne und insbesondere den Dachrinnentrog hinweggeführt werden.Devices of the type mentioned serve to keep leaves and other contaminants from gutters, downpipes or the like. From the DE 92 13 325 U1 and the US Pat. No. 2,533,402 known devices of this type have a longitudinally insertable into a gutter trough the gutter, tubular Abweisgitter. This deflector grille serves as a sort of filter separating the rainwater and leaves or other contaminants from the roof by allowing the deflector grate to pass rainwater into the gutter trough, but to keep leaves and other debris from the gutter trough by removing debris from the gutter via the gutter and especially the gutter trough be carried away.

Bei der aus der DE 92 13 325 U1 bekannten Vorrichtung ist das rohrartige Abweisgitter durch ein geschlitztes Netzrohr aus Kunststoff gebildet. Das Netzrohr verfügt über Längsstränge, die in Längsrichtung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters und des Dachrinnentrogs verlaufen und quer zur Längsrichtung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters verlaufende Querstränge. Die Längs- und Querstränge sind voneinander beabstandet zur Bildung der Netzstruktur des Netzrohrs. Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung verfügen die Längsstränge über einen größeren Querschnitt als die Querstränge. Dadurch sind die Querstränge vom Dachrinnentrog beabstandet.At the time of the DE 92 13 325 U1 known device, the tubular Abweisgitter is formed by a slotted plastic mesh tube. The net tube has longitudinal strands which run in the longitudinal direction of the tubular Abweisgitters and the gutter trough and transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tubular Abweisgitters extending transverse strands. The longitudinal and transverse strands are spaced from each other to form the network structure of the net tube. In this known device, the longitudinal strands have a larger cross section than the transverse strands. As a result, the transverse strands are spaced from the gutter trough.

Die aus der US 2 533 402 A bekannte Vorrichtung ist aus einem Drahtgeflecht aus Längs- und Quersträngen gebildet. Die Querstränge verlaufen schlangenlinienartig zwischen den Längssträhgen hindurch und um diese herum.The from the US Pat. No. 2,533,402 known device is formed of a wire mesh of longitudinal and transverse strands. The transverse strands run in a serpentine line between and around the longitudinal strands.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die den Wasserabfluss aus der Dachrinne nicht oder zumindest nicht nennenswert beeinträchtigt.The invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which does not impair the drainage from the gutter or at least not appreciably.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. Demnach sind die Querstränge derart ausgebildet, dass sie sich nur abschnittsweise im Dachrinnentrog abstützen. Dabei ist es vorgesehen, dass Teile bzw. Abschnitte oder Bereiche der Querstränge des rohrartigen Abweisgitters nach außen vorstehen und gegenüberliegende Endbereiche jedes nach außen gewölbten Abschnitts benachbarten Längssträngen zuzuordnen. Zwischen den am weitesten außen liegenden Scheitelpunkten der einzelnen gewölbten Abschnitte der Querstränge sind diese von der Innenseite des Dachrinnentrogs beabstandet. Dadurch lassen Sie einen freien Abfluss von Wasser und gegebenenfalls auch mitgeführter kleiner Verunreinigungen frei. So werden die quer zur Längsrichtung der Dachrinne verlaufenden Querstränge mindestens abschnittsweise vom Inneren des Dachrinnentrogs beabstandet, wodurch Wasser und auch feine Verunreinigungen ungehindert unter mindestens Teilen der Querstränge hinweg in Längsrichtung der Dachrinne abfließen können. Auf diese Weise wird das Abfließen des Wassers aus der Dachrinne durch die Querstränge nicht oder zumindest nicht nennenswert beeinträchtigt. Außerdem können sich keine durch das rohrartige Abweisgitter hindurch in den Dachrinnentrog gelangte kleine Feststoffpartikel im Dachrinnentrog ansammeln und dadurch den freien Durchfluss von Wasser durch die Dachrinne beeinträchtigen.An apparatus for achieving this object has the features of claim 1. Accordingly, the transverse strands are designed such that they are supported only partially in the gutter trough. It is envisaged that parts or sections or regions of the transverse strands of the tubular Abweisgitters project outwardly and assign adjacent end portions of each outwardly curved portion adjacent longitudinal strands. Between the outermost vertices of the individual curved sections of the transverse strands they are spaced from the inside of the gutter trough. This will release a free drain of water and possibly also small impurities carried along. Thus, the transverse strands extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the gutter are at least partially spaced from the interior of the gutter trough, whereby water and also fine contaminants can flow away unhindered under at least parts of the transverse strands in the longitudinal direction of the gutter. In this way, the drainage of the water from the gutter by the transverse strands is not or at least not significantly affected. In addition, no small solid particles passing through the tube-like deflector grid into the gutter trough can accumulate in the gutter trough and thereby impair the free flow of water through the gutter.

Besonders bevorzugt sind die gegenüberliegenden Endbereiche oder Enden jedes gewölbten Abschnitts mit dem betreffenden Längsstrang einstückig verbunden zur Bildung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters.Particularly preferably, the opposite end portions or ends of each curved portion with the respective longitudinal strand are integrally connected to form the tubular Abweisgitters.

Vorzugsweise sind die Querstränge ringsherum, also über ihren ganzen Umfang bzw. ihre ganze Länge, teil- und/oder bereichsweise nach außen gewölbt. Dadurch bilden die Querstränge mindestens im Bereich des Dachrinnentrogs einen mäanderförmigen, gezackten oder schlangenlinienförmigen Verlauf, wodurch sich die Querstränge nur stellenweise im Dachrinnentrog abstützen. Zwischen den sich im Dachrinnentrog abstützenden Stellen der Querstränge sind die Querstränge infolge ihres bogenförmigen, gezackten oder wellenartigen Verlaufs vom Dachrinnentrog beabstandet, so dass in Längsrichtung der Dachrinnen verlaufende Kanäle, vorzugsweise mehrere parallele und/oder beabstandete Kanäle, zwischen den Quersträngen und der Innenwandung des Dachrinnentrogs entstehen, die einem ungehinderten Wasserablauf und auch einen mit dem Wasser erfolgenden Abtransport kleinerer Feststoffpartikelchen aus der Dachrinne zulassen.Preferably, the transverse strands are around, ie over their entire circumference or their entire length, partially and / or partially arched outwards. This form the Transverse strands at least in the area of the gutter trough a meandering, serrated or serpentine course, whereby the transverse strands are supported only in places in the gutter trough. As a result of their arcuate, serrated or wave-like course, the transverse strands are spaced from the roof gutter trough, so that channels extending in the longitudinal direction of the gutters, preferably a plurality of parallel and / or spaced channels, between the transverse strands and the inner wall of the gutter trough arise, allowing an unimpeded flow of water and also carried out with the water removal of smaller solid particles from the gutter.

Bevorzugt ist es vorgesehen, jeden Querstrang trotz seiner teil- und/oder bereichsweisen Wölbung einstückig auszubilden. Dazu verfügen die Querstränge mindestens im Bereich des Dachrinnentrogs über zwischen benachbarten Längssträngen nach außen gewölbte Abschnitte. Indem zwischen benachbarten Längssträngen sich befindende Abschnitte der Querstränge mindestens im Bereich des Dachrinnentrogs nach außen gewölbt sind, liegen die Querstränge nur noch mit dem am weitesten außen liegenden Scheitelpunkten ihrer Wölbung innen am Dachrinnentrog an.Preferably, it is provided to form each transverse strand in one piece despite its partial and / or areawise curvature. For this purpose, have the transverse strands at least in the region of the gutter trough over adjacent longitudinal strands outwardly curved sections. By curving between adjacent longitudinal strands sections of the transverse strands are arched at least in the region of the gutter trough to the outside, the cross strands lie only with the farthest outward vertexes of their curvature inside the gutter trough.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeit der Querstränge weisen ihre gewölbten Abschnitte einen epizykloidartigen Verlauf auf. Dabei liegen die Querschnittsebenen der Längsstränge mindestens über einem Teil des Umfangs der Querstränge auf einer gedachten Kreisbahn. Außen an dieser gedachten Kreisbahn befinden sich die auch mit ihrem Scheitelpunkt nach außen gewölbten Bereiche der Querstränge, wobei gegenüberliegende Enden jedes bogenförmig gewölbten Abschnitts auf der gedachten Kreisbahn liegen, und zwar so, dass sie die Längsstränge treffen bzw. schneiden und dadurch Kreuzungsstellen zwischen den Längssträngen und gegenüberliegenden Enden der bogenförmigen Abschnitte der Querstränge bilden. Bei aus Kunststoff gebildeten Abweisgittern sind an diesen Kreuzungsstellen die Querstränge und die Längsstränge einstückig miteinander verbunden, insbesondere miteinander verschmolzen, so dass an den Kreuzungsstellen die Längsstränge und die Querstränge nicht übereinanderliegen, sondern in einer vorzugsweise gewölbten Kreuzungsebene. Dadurch sind die Kreuzungsstellen nicht oder zumindest nicht nennenswert dicker als die Quer- und/oder Längsstränge.In a preferred embodiment of the transverse strands their curved sections have an epicycloid-like course. The cross-sectional planes of the longitudinal strands are at least over part of the circumference of the transverse strands on an imaginary circular path. Outside of this imaginary circular path are located with their vertex outwardly curved portions of the transverse strands, with opposite ends of each arcuate portion lying on the imaginary circular path, in such a way that they meet or cut the longitudinal strands and thereby crossing points between the longitudinal strands and opposite ends of the arcuate portions of the transverse strands. In deflector grids formed of plastic, the transverse strands and the longitudinal strands are integrally connected to each other at these intersections, in particular fused together, so that at the intersections, the longitudinal strands and the transverse strands are not superimposed, but in a preferably curved crossing plane. As a result, the intersections are not or at least not appreciably thicker than the transverse and / or longitudinal strands.

an alternative possibility of the arrangement of the device Fig. 1 in the gutter.

Die in den Figuren gezeigte Vorrichtung dient zum Schutz einer Dachrinne 10 gegen vor allem mechanische Verunreinigungen wie zum Beispiel Laub, Äste oder sonstige Feststoffpartikel. Die Vorrichtung weist die Gestalt eines länglichen rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 auf, das in einen Dachrinnentrog 13 der Dachrinne 10 einlegbar bzw. einsetzbar ist. Dabei erstreckt sich eine Längsachse des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 in Längsrichtung der Dachrinne 11 und auch des Dachrinnentrogs 13.The device shown in the figures serves to protect a gutter 10 against mainly mechanical impurities such as leaves, branches or other solid particles. The device has the shape of an elongate tubular Abweisgitters 12 which can be inserted or inserted into a gutter trough 13 of the gutter 10. In this case, a longitudinal axis of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 extends in the longitudinal direction of the gutter 11 and the gutter trough 13th

Die Dachrinne 11 ist in an sich üblicher Weise am traufseitigen (unteren) Ende eines in der Figur schematisch dargestellten schrägen Dachs 10 befestigt. Die Dachrinne 11 kann auch am Rand eines Flachdachs eines sonstigen Dachs befestigt sein.The gutter 11 is attached in a conventional manner at the eaves-side (lower) end of an oblique roof 10 shown schematically in the figure. The gutter 11 may also be attached to the edge of a flat roof of another roof.

Der Dachrinnentrog 13 der in den Figuren gezeigten Dachrinne 11 verfügt über einen etwa halbkreisförmigen Querschnitt. Die Dachrinne 11 kann aber auch über einen andersartigen wannenartigen Querschnitt verfügen, beispielsweise einen kastenartigen Querschnitt.The gutter trough 13 of the gutter 11 shown in the figures has an approximately semicircular cross section. The gutter 11 may also have a different trough-like cross-section, for example, a box-like cross-section.

Durch mehrere mit Abstand in Längsrichtung des Dachrinnentrogs 13 hintereinanderliegende Halter 14 ist der Dachrinnentrog 13 der Dachrinne 11 mit beispielsweise der Unterseite des traufartigen Endes des Dachs 10 verbunden.By several spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the gutter trough 13 consecutive holder 14 of the gutter trough 13 of the gutter 11 with, for example, the underside of the eaves-like end of the roof 10 is connected.

Das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 der Vorrichtung ist bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen nicht geschlossen, sondern mit einem Längsschlitz 15 versehen, der in Längsrichtung der Dachrinne 11 verläuft. Dadurch lässt sich der Durchmesser des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 verändern zur Anpassung unterschiedlich großer, insbesondere im Querschnitt unterschiedlicher Dachrinnentröge 13. Bei größeren Dachrinnentrögen 13 sind die den Längsschlitz 15 beidseitigen begrenzenden Längsränder 16, 17 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 etwas voneinander beabstandet zur Bildung eines Spalts 18 zwischen den Längsrändern 16, 17 (Fig. 1). Bei kleinen Dachrinnentrögen 13 hingegen überlappen die Längsränder 16, 17 einander zur Bildung eines unten im Dachrinnentrog 13 liegenden Überlappungsbereichs 19 (Fig. 2). Der Längsschlitz 15 und der Spalt 18 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 liegen unten im Dachrinnentrog 13, und zwar an der tiefsten Stelle. Durch manuelle elastische Verformung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 kann dieses an den Durchmesser des dachrinnenartigen Trogs 13 angepasst werden, indem entweder zwischen den Längsrändern 16, 17 der Spalt 18 bestehen bleibt oder der Überlappungsbereich 33 gebildet wird.The tubular Abweisgitter 12 of the device is not closed in the embodiments shown, but provided with a longitudinal slot 15 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the gutter 11. As a result, the diameter of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 change to accommodate different sized, especially in cross-section different gutter troughs 13. For larger gutter troughs 13, the longitudinal slot 15 on both sides limiting longitudinal edges 16, 17 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 slightly spaced from each other to form a gap 18 between the longitudinal edges 16, 17 ( Fig. 1 ). In the case of small gutter troughs 13, on the other hand, the longitudinal edges 16, 17 overlap one another to form an overlapping region 19 located below in the gutter trough 13 (FIG. Fig. 2 ). The longitudinal slot 15 and the gap 18 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 are down in the gutter trough 13, at the lowest point. By manual elastic deformation of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 this can be adapted to the diameter of the gutter-like trough 13 by either the gap 18 remains between the longitudinal edges 16, 17 or the overlap region 33 is formed.

Das aus Kunststoff gebildete rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 kann als Rohr durch beispielsweise Extrudieren hergestellt werden, und zwar vorzugsweise so, dass das Rohr im Ausgangszustand den in der Fig. 1 gezeigten Spalt 18 zwischen benachbarten Längsrändern 16, 17 aufweist. Durch Zusammendrücken ist das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 an kleinere Dachrinnen 11 anpassbar, indem die Längsränder 16, 17 mehr oder weniger überlappen. Es ist aber auch denkbar, das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 aus Kunststoff als flachen Zuschnitt zu extrudieren oder zu spritzen und vor dem Einsetzen in den Dachrinnentrog 16 durch elastische Verformung daraus das in den Figuren gezeigte rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 mit dem erforderlichen Durchmesser zu bilden.The formed from plastic tubular Abweisgitter 12 can be prepared as a tube by, for example, extrusion, preferably so that the tube in the initial state in the Fig. 1 shown gap 18 between adjacent longitudinal edges 16, 17 has. By compressing the tubular Abweisgitter 12 is adaptable to smaller gutters 11 by the longitudinal edges 16, 17 overlap more or less. However, it is also conceivable to extrude or inject the tube-like deflector grille 12 made of plastic as a flat blank and to form it before insertion into the gutter trough 16 by elastic deformation thereof, the tubular Abweisgitter 12 shown in the figures with the required diameter.

Die Erfindung eignet sich aber nicht nur für Vorrichtungen mit einem einen Längsschlitz 15 aufweisenden rohrartigen Abweisgitter 12, sondern auch für Vorrichtungen mit einem geschlossenen Gitter- bzw. Netzrohr aus Kunststoff, das über keinen Längsschlitz 15 verfügt.However, the invention is not only suitable for devices with a longitudinal slot 15 having tubular Abweisgitter 12, but also for devices with a closed mesh or net tube made of plastic, which has no longitudinal slot 15.

Das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 oder ein geschlossenes Gitter- oder Netzrohr zur Bildung der Vorrichtung kann gegebenenfalls auch aus einem anderen Material als Kunststoff hergestellt sein, beispielsweise aus metallischen Materialien unterschiedlicher Art, beispielsweise aus Draht bzw. einem Drahtgitter oder einem Drahtnetz.If appropriate, the tube-like deflector grid 12 or a closed grid or network tube for forming the device can also be made of a material other than plastic, for example metallic materials of different types, for example wire or a wire mesh or a wire mesh.

Das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 verfügt über vorzugsweise geradlinige Längsstränge 29 und Querstränge 30. Alle Längsstränge 29 verlaufen mit gleichem Abstand parallel zueinander in Längsrichtung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 und somit auch in Längsrichtung des Dachrinnentrogs 13 der Dachrinne 11. Die Querstränge 30 verlaufen auch mit gleichmäßigem Abstand parallel zueinander, aber quer zur Längsachse des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 des Dachrinnentrogs 13 der Dachrinne 11. Dadurch schneiden sich an Kreuzungsstellen 22 die Längsstränge 29 und Querstränge 30 rechtwinklig. An den Kreuzungsstellen 22 sind die Längsstränge 29 und die Querstränge 30 einstückig miteinander verbunden, indem sie bei Bildung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 aus Kunststoff quasi zusammengeschmolzen sind.All longitudinal strands 29 extend at the same distance parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 and thus also in the longitudinal direction of the gutter trough 13 of the gutter 11. The transverse strands 30 are parallel even at a uniform distance to each other, but transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 of the gutter trough 13 of the gutter 11. This intersect at intersections 22, the longitudinal strands 29 and transverse strands 30 at right angles. At the intersections 22, the longitudinal strands 29 and the transverse strands 30 are integrally connected to each other by quasi melted together in forming the tubular Abweisgitters 12 made of plastic.

Die Abstände zwischen benachbarten Längssträngen 29 und benachbarten Quersträngen 30 sind beim gezeigten rohrartigen Abweisgitter 12 gleich, so dass zwischen den Längssträngen 29 und den Quersträngen 30 etwa quadratische Gitteröffnungen 23 entstehen. Es ist auch denkbar, die Abstände zwischen benachbarten Längssträngen 29 und den Quersträngen 30 unterschiedlich groß zu machen, so dass rechteckige Gitteröffnungen entstehen. Ebenso ist es denkbar, dass sich die Längsstränge 29 und die Querstränge 30 unter einem Winkel von < 90°kreuzen. Dann entstehen rautenartige Gitteröffnüngen. Die Abmessungen der Gitteröffnungen 23 sind so gewählt, dass ein Großteil fester Bestandteile, insbesondere Blätter und Äste, nicht durch die Gitteröffnungen 23 hindurchfallen können und somit über die Dachrinne 11 mit der mindestens einen darin eingelegten Vorrichtung hinweg ableitbar sind und sich die Gitteröffnungen 23 auch nicht durch zum Beispiel Eisbildung zusetzen können.The distances between adjacent longitudinal strands 29 and adjacent transverse strands 30 are the same in the illustrated tubular Abweisgitter 12, so that between the Longitudinal strands 29 and the cross strands 30 approximately square grid openings 23 arise. It is also conceivable to make the distances between adjacent longitudinal strands 29 and the transverse strands 30 vary in size so that rectangular grid openings are formed. It is also conceivable that the longitudinal strands 29 and the transverse strands 30 intersect at an angle of <90 °. Then diamond-shaped Gitteröffnüngen arise. The dimensions of the grid openings 23 are selected such that a large part of solid components, in particular leaves and branches, can not fall through the grid openings 23 and thus can be diverted via the gutter 11 with the at least one device inserted therein and the grid openings 23 are not by adding ice for example.

Beim rohrartigen Abweisgitter 12 der Fig. 1 und 2 weisen alle Längsstränge 29 einen gleichen Querschnitt, vorzugsweise Durchmesser, auf, wobei dieser Querschnitt demjenigen der Querstränge 30 entspricht.When tubular Abweisgitter 12 of Fig. 1 and 2 all longitudinal strands 29 have a same cross-section, preferably diameter, wherein this cross-section corresponds to that of the transverse strands 30.

Die Querstränge 30 zwischen benachbarten Längsstränge 29 sind mit einer nach außen gerichteten Wölbung versehen, und zwar über den gesamten Umfang des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12, also nicht nur solcher Teile der Querstränge 30, die sich im Dachrinnentrog 13 befinden, sondern auch solche, die außerhalb des Dachrinnentrogs 13 liegen.
Alle in Längsrichtung der Dachrinne 11 geradlinig parallel verlaufenden Längsstränge 29 weisen einen gleichen Durchmesser und gleiche Abstände zueinander auf. Mit ihren äußeren Längslinien liegen alle Längsstränge 29 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 der Fig. 1 auf einem gedachten zylindrischen Hüllmantel. Dieser gedachte Hüllmantel umgibt mit anderen Worten alle Längsstränge 29 von außen.
The transverse strands 30 between adjacent longitudinal strands 29 are provided with an outwardly directed curvature, over the entire circumference of the tubular Abweisgitters 12, so not only those parts of the transverse strands 30, which are located in the gutter trough 13, but also those outside the Dachrinnentrogs 13 lie.
All in the longitudinal direction of the gutter 11 linearly parallel longitudinal strands 29 have a same diameter and equal distances to each other. With their outer longitudinal lines are all longitudinal strands 29 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 of Fig. 1 on an imaginary cylindrical casing. In other words, this imaginary envelope surrounds all the longitudinal strands 29 from the outside.

Die nach außen gerichteten Wölbungen der Querstränge 30 sind im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 1 und 2) aus aneinandergereihten bogenförmigen Abschnitten 31 gebildet. Alle bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 sind gleich ausgebildet. Der mittlere Scheitelpunkt jedes bogenförmigen Abschnitts 31 steht am weitesten gegenüber den Längssträngen 29 nach außen vor. Mit diesem außenliegenden Scheitelpunkt liegen alle sich in der Dachrinne 11 befindenden bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 sämtlicher Querstränge 30 an der Innenseite 27 des Dachrinnentrogs 13 an. Jeder bogenförmige Abschnitt 31 ist mit seinen gegenüberliegenden Endbereichen einstückig mit benachbarten Längssträngen 29 verbunden. An diesen Verbindungspunkten entstehen so Kreuzungsstellen 22 der Längsstränge 29 mit den Quersträngen 30. Infolge der einstückigen Verbindung der gegenüberliegenden Enden der bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 mit benachbarten Längssträngen 29 werden alle bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 in einer Querschnittsebene des Abweisgitters 12 über die Längsstränge 29 zum umlaufenden Querstrang 30 aneinandergereiht und mittelbar oder gegebenenfalls auch unmittelbar verbunden. Auf diese Weise entstehen Querstränge 30 mit der Gestalt einer Epizykloide um den gedachten äußeren Hüllkreis um die Längsstränge 29.The outward curvatures of the transverse strands 30 are in the illustrated embodiment ( Fig. 1 and 2 ) formed of aligned arcuate portions 31. All arcuate portions 31 are identical. The middle vertex of each arcuate portion 31 protrudes outward most opposite to the longitudinal strands 29. With this outer vertex all located in the gutter 11 are arcuate portions 31 of all transverse strands 30 on the inside 27 of the gutter trough 13 at. Each arcuate portion 31 is integrally connected at its opposite end portions with adjacent longitudinal strands 29. As a result of the integral connection of the opposite ends of the arcuate portions 31 with adjacent longitudinal strands 29 all arcuate portions 31 are strung together in a cross-sectional plane of the Abweisgitters 12 via the longitudinal strands 29 to the circumferential transverse strand 30 and indirectly or possibly also directly connected. In this way, transverse strands 30 with the shape of an epicycloid around the imaginary outer enveloping circle around the longitudinal strands 29 arise.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 ist das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 in einen größeren Dachrinnentrog 13 eingelegt, so dass ein Spalt 18 zwischen den einseitig freien Längssträngen 29 zur Bildung der Längsränder 16, 17 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 entsteht. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Längsschlitz 15 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 somit durch zwei benachbarte Längsstränge 29 mit einseitig fehlenden bogenförmigen Abschnitten 31 begrenzt, wobei diese beiden benachbarten Längsstränge 29 die Längsränder 16, 17 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 bilden.In the embodiment of Fig. 1 the tubular Abweisgitter 12 is inserted into a larger gutter trough 13, so that a gap 18 between the unilaterally free longitudinal strands 29 for forming the longitudinal edges 16, 17 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 is formed. In the embodiment shown, the longitudinal slot 15 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 is thus bounded by two adjacent longitudinal strands 29 with one-sided missing arcuate sections 31, these two adjacent longitudinal strands 29, the longitudinal edges 16, 17 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 form.

Die Querschnitte der bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 zur Bildung des Querstrangs 30 können genauso groß sein wie die Querschnitte der Längsstränge 29. Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 und 2 ist es hingegen vorgesehen, dass die Querschnitte der bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 der Querstränge 30 etwas geringer sind als die Querschnitte der Längsstränge 29. Beispielsweise kann es ausreichen, wenn die Querschnittsflächen der bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 der Querstränge 30 nur die Hälfte bis ein Viertel der Querschnittsfläche der Längsstränge 29 betragen.The cross sections of the arcuate portions 31 for forming the transverse strand 30 may be as large as the cross sections of the longitudinal strands 29. In the embodiment of the Fig. 1 and 2 on the other hand, it is provided that the cross sections of the arcuate portions 31 of the transverse strands 30 are slightly smaller than the cross sections of the longitudinal strands 29. For example, it may be sufficient if the cross sectional areas of the arcuate portions 31 of the transverse strands 30 only half to one quarter of the cross sectional area of the longitudinal strands 29 amount.

Beim rohrartigen Abweisgitter 12 der Fig. 1 und 2 sind infolge der bogenförmigen Abschnitte 31 der Querstränge 30 alle Längsstränge 29 von der Innenseite 27 des Dachrinnentrogs 13 gleich weit beabstandet. Hingegen sind die Querstränge 30 nur abschnittsweise von der Innenseite 27 des Dachrinnentrogs 13 beabstandet, nämlich auf beiden Seiten neben den am weitesten außen vorstehenden, in Längsrichtung des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 oder der Dachrinne 11 verlaufenden Berührungsstellen mit der Innenseite 27 des Dachrinnentrogs 13. Zwischen den Berührungsstellen der höchsten Stellen benachbarter bogenförmiger Abschnitte 31 der Querstränge 30 entstehen so in Längsrichtung des Dachrinnetrogs 13 durchgehend verlaufende Kanäle 32 mit einem zwickelartigen bzw. etwa dreieckförmigen Querschnitt. Da jeder Querstrang 30 aus einer Vielzahl aneinandergereihter bogenförmiger Abschnitte 31 zwischen jeweils zwei Längssträngen 29 gebildet ist, entstehen im Dachrinnentrog 13 viele mit geringem parallelen Abstand nebeneinanderliegende längsgerichtete Kanäle 32, die ausreichen, um Wasser und auch kleinere Partikel, beispielsweise Blüten von Pflanzen, ungehindert in Längsrichtung der Dachrinne 11 abfließen zu lassen.When tubular Abweisgitter 12 of Fig. 1 and 2 are due to the arcuate portions 31 of the transverse strands 30 all longitudinal strands 29 from the inside 27 of the gutter trough 13 equidistant. In contrast, the transverse strands 30 are only partially spaced from the inside 27 of the gutter trough 13, namely on both sides next to the outermost projecting, extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 or the gutter 11 contact points with the inside 27 of the gutter trough 13 between the points of contact The highest points of adjacent arcuate portions 31 of the transverse strands 30 are formed in the longitudinal direction of the Dachrinnetrogs 13 continuously extending channels 32 with a gusset-like or approximately triangular cross-section. Since each transverse strand 30 is formed of a plurality of juxtaposed arcuate portions 31 between two longitudinal strands 29, arise in Dachrinnentrog 13 with a small parallel distance adjacent longitudinal channels 32, sufficient to water and smaller particles, such as flowers of plants, unhindered in Let the longitudinal direction of the gutter 11 to drain.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 der Fig. 1 mit durch elastisches Zusammendrücken verringertem Durchmesser. Das nur im Durchmesser verringerte rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 eignet sich besonders zum Einsetzen in kleinere Dachrinnentröge 13.The Fig. 2 shows the tubular Abweisgitter 12 of Fig. 1 with reduced by elastic compression reduced diameter. That only reduced in diameter tubular deflector 12 is particularly suitable for insertion into smaller gutter troughs 13th

Infolge des elastischen Zusammendrückens des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 und der damit einhergehenden Verringerung des Durchmessers desselben bildet sich hier ein Überlappungsbereich 33 aus, indem von den einseitig freiliegenden Längssträngen 29 zur Bildung gegenüberliegender Längsränder 16 und 17 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 ausgehenden gegenüberliegenden Randstreifen des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 übereinanderliegen.As a result of the elastic compression of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 and the concomitant reduction in the diameter of the same an overlap region 33 is formed by the unilaterally exposed longitudinal strands 29 to form opposite longitudinal edges 16 and 17 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 outgoing opposite edge strips of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 superimposed ,

Bevorzugt befindet sich der Überlappungsbereich 33 an oder im Bereich der tiefsten Stelle des Dachrinnentrogs 13. Dadurch wird an der tiefsten Stelle oder in der Nähe der tiefsten Stelle des Dachrinnentrogs 13 infolge der Überlappung des vom Längsrand 17 ausgehenden Randbereichs und des darunterliegenden, vom anderen Längsrand 16 ausgehenden Randbereichs erfolgenden Abheben eines am vom Längsrand 17 ausgehenden Randbereich sich anschließenden Abschnitt 34 des rohrartigen Abweisgitters 12 ein teilweise vergrößerter Zwischenraum 35 im unteren Bereich des Dachrinnentrogs 13 geschaffen. Das begünstigt einen ungehinderten Abfluss von Wasser und auch kleineren Feststoffpartikeln, die durch die Gitteröffnungen 23 in das rohrartige Abweisgitter 12 gelangt sind, aus der Dachrinne 11.Preferably, the overlap region 33 is located at or in the region of the lowest point of the gutter trough 13. This is at the lowest point or in the vicinity of the lowest point of the gutter trough 13 due to the overlap of the outgoing from the longitudinal edge 17 edge region and the underlying, from the other longitudinal edge sixteenth outgoing edge region taking place lifting a at the outgoing edge 17 edge region adjoining portion 34 of the tubular Abweisgitters 12 a partially enlarged gap 35 in the lower region of the gutter trough 13 created. This favors unimpeded outflow of water and also smaller solid particles which have passed through the grid openings 23 into the tubular deflector grid 12, out of the gutter 11.

In den zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Querstränge 30 sowie die Längsstränge 29 mit einem kreisförmigen Querschnitt versehen. Hierauf ist die Erfindung aber nicht beschränkt. Die Längsstränge 29 sowie die Querstränge 30 können auch andere Querschnitte aufweisen, zum Beispiel unrunde oder auch mehreckige Querschnitte.In the embodiments described above, the transverse strands 30 and the longitudinal strands 29 are provided with a circular cross-section. However, the invention is not limited thereto. The longitudinal strands 29 and the transverse strands 30 can also have other cross sections, for example non-round or even polygonal cross sections.
