EP3327240B1 - Holding device for holding a sun protection device and holding system - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a sun protection device with a holding device with two holders for mounting on side walls that delimit a light entry opening and face one another, the holders each having a contact surface for contact with the side wall and a holding element on which the sun protection device is arranged with a first orientation relative to the contact surface can.

A fastening system for sun protection systems is from the DE 10 2005 062 995 B3 known. Such holding devices are used to hold sun protection devices in particular on roof windows. With these roof windows, the sun protection device is attached to the inside of the light entry opening on the window frame. For this purpose, holders are arranged in pairs on the side walls delimiting the light entry opening. However, there are several roof window systems that work with different frame geometries. In particular, the side wall delimiting the light-entry surface can be aligned at right angles to the light-entry opening or have an angle that deviates from 90° and is generally greater than the light-entry opening. A matching set of holders is usually provided for each frame geometry, ie each angle of the side wall to the light entry opening. This leads to undesirable material and storage costs and can lead to incorrect assembly when using unsuitable holders.

The DE 10 2005 062 995 B3 solves this problem by providing a convex bearing surface on the holder, with different bores provided for different angles of the side wall. In this way, the orientation of the holder relative to the side wall is adapted to the respective angle of inclination.

The disadvantage of this solution is that only a relatively small part of the convex contact surface of the holder is in contact with the side wall. This results in a relatively flexible attachment of the holder to the side wall. Due to the large leverage forces that occur as a result, a change in the position of the holder, in particular a pivoting of the same, cannot be prevented during operation of the sun protection device or when it is mounted on the holders. In this way, damage to the window frame as well as to the holder can occur.

A holding device is from the U.S. 2,301,863A known. The holding device shown here is used to attach a sunshade to a window frame. The holding device consists of a hinge leaf as a contact surface for laying on the window frame and a holder for the sun protection. The hinge leaf and the bracket are pivotally connected to each other by means of a hinge pin. The sunshade is fixed to the bracket.

The problem on which the invention is based is to reduce unnecessary storage costs for a sun protection device with a holding device of the type mentioned at the outset and to avoid incorrect assembly as far as possible, while at the same time enabling a secure and, in particular, non-pivotable arrangement of the holder on the side wall.

The problem is solved in a sun protection device with a holding device of the type mentioned at the outset in that the holding element is at a distance from the contact surface and that the sun protection device can be arranged on the holding element with at least a second orientation to the contact surface.

In this way, the same holder can be used for at least two frame geometries. In this way it is not necessary to change the orientation of the holder to the side wall depending on the angle of inclination thereof. As a result, the contact surface or the holder can be designed in such a way that good contact with the side wall is possible and, in particular, low leverage forces occur during operation of the sun protection device or when it is installed.

A development of the invention is characterized in that the retaining element has at least one pin on which the sun protection device can be arranged in a number of orientations relative to the contact surface. This makes the construction particularly simple and enables a wide range of uses. In particular, the sun protection device can be arranged pivotably on the pin. Any angle of inclination can be realized as a result. Preferably, the holding element can be designed as a pivot bearing. In particular, the holding element forms part of a joint or hinge. This gives a high Stability with simultaneous flexible use for different angles of inclination and is also easy and inexpensive to produce.

Another development of the invention is characterized in that the holding element is provided for sliding the sun protection device on. In this way, mounting the sun protection device on the holder becomes particularly easy. The sliding of the sun protection device can be provided parallel to a pivot axis of the pivot bearing. This results in a simple construction since the required design of the means for sliding does not conflict with the required design for pivoting into the different positions for the different angles of inclination.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the holding element has fastening means for the sun protection device. This makes it particularly easy to mount the sun protection device on the holder. In particular, latching means and/or a hole for screwing in a screw can be provided. In both cases, easy assembly and reliable attachment of the sun protection device to the holder is possible.

The two holders of the holding device ensure that the sun protection device is seated securely and without play in the light entry opening.

In another embodiment it is provided that the holder has fastening means for fastening to the side wall. As a result, the holder can be easily and reliably attached to the side wall. In particular, openings can be provided, preferably screw holes. By reaching a suitable fastener through the openings or by screwing through the screw holes, the holder can easily be fastened to the side wall. Preferably, the holder can also have a recess for a mounting part arranged on the side wall. Such mounting hardware is common with some skylights. In this way, the holder according to the invention can also be used with roof windows of this type. In particular, the recess forms a receptacle for the assembly part. The interaction of this recording with the mounting part means that additional fastening means can be dispensed with. If the receptacle is designed for a non-positive and/or positive connection with the mounting part, a secure fit results with little assembly effort. If the contact surface is flat in a particularly preferred embodiment, a secure fit is ensured with low leverage forces.

The invention can be used particularly advantageously as part of a sun protection system. It is advantageous here if a positioning aid is provided for the holder. In this way, the assembly at the specified position of the side wall can be reliably guaranteed. The positioning aid can preferably be arranged on the holding element. In this way, the position of the holding element itself, which is ultimately important when attaching the sun protection device, can be reliably ensured. It is also advantageous if the positioning aid can be attached in several orientations to the contact surface. The positioning aid should preferably be able to be pivotably attached to the holding element. In this way, a secure positioning of the holder can be ensured with a positioning aid and a holder, regardless of the angle of inclination of the side wall to the light entry surface.

It is also advantageous if the positioning aid has at least one stop for positioning the holder. In this way, secure positioning can be ensured by applying the stop to the intended location. In particular, the stop is used for positioning in relation to an upper edge of the light entry opening and/or to a front side of a window reveal or a window frame. In this way, the light gaps between the sun protection device and the frame parts of the roof window can be reduced to a minimum. This ensures good sun protection.

1 shows a schematic partial view of a sun protection device 10 as a first exemplary embodiment of the invention. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the sun protection device 10 is arranged in a frame 12, namely a window frame 12 of a roof surface window, for shading a light entry opening 11. The frame 12 has the sun protection device 10 facing side walls 13, of which only one side wall 13 can be seen in the figure. The side walls 13 delimit the light entry opening 11 laterally.

As can also be seen from the figure, a holder 14 for holding the sun protection device 10 is arranged on the side wall 13 and faces the sun protection device 10 . The sun protection device 10 has a curtain 15 for shading the light entry opening 11 . A cover 16 of the sun protection device 10 is provided on the upper side of the curtain and partially covers the frame 12 . The cover 16 is closed off at the side by an end cap 17 . An end strip 18 is provided on the lower end of the hanging 15 facing away from the cover 16 .

In the embodiment shown, the end cap 17 rests against a front face 19 of the frame 12 . The front 19 and the side wall 13 form the in 1 shown frame 12 a right angle.

2 shows the sunshade device 10 of FIG 1 in the state detached from the holder 14.

As can be seen from the figure, the frame 12 has an upper edge 20 which 1 was covered by the cover 16.

In the embodiment shown, the holder 14 has a base 21 which abuts the side wall 13. As shown in FIG. A holding element 22 is provided at a distance from the base 21 and the side wall 13 and is connected to the base 21 by means of a web 23 . As can further be seen from the figure, the web 23 has a hole 24 . By screwing a screw, not shown in the figure, into the hole 24, the sunshade device can be secured to the holder, as will be seen below with reference to FIG 22 will be explained in more detail.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the retaining element 22 has an upper peg 25 and a lower peg 26 on ends of a body 27 that face away from one another. The body 27 also has a recess 28 on its longitudinal side facing away from the web 23. As can further be seen from the figure, has the base 21 two holes 29, 30 on. The holder 14 can be fastened to the frame 12 by screwing in screws (not shown in the figure) through the holes 29, 30 in the side wall 13.

As can also be seen from the figure, the sun protection device 10 has a winding shaft 31 onto which the curtain 15 can be wound in a known manner. The sun protection device 10 can be pushed onto the holding element 22 from below in the figure and secured thereto in a manner explained in more detail below.

3 12 shows a cross section of the sunshade device 10 and the frame 12 of FIG 1 . As can be seen from the figure, the sun protection device 10 has a carrier 32 which is fastened to the holder 14, as explained in more detail below. In the figure it can be seen that the cover 16 and the end cap 17 rest on the front side 19 and thus cover an upper light gap. The figure also shows a disc 33 on the end of the frame 12 facing away from the cover 16 .

As can be seen from the figure, the curtain 15 extends approximately parallel to the pane 11 in the state shown extend down to shade the light entry opening or wind it up again on the winding shaft 31 by the spring force of a spring that is not described in detail.

4 shows the section XX of 3 . As can be seen from the figure, the holder 14 bears against the side wall 13 with a contact surface 34 arranged on the side of the base 21 facing away from the holding element 22 .

As can also be seen from the figure, the carrier 32 has a projection 35 on its end facing away from the winding shaft 31 . In the exemplary embodiment shown, the projection 35 is designed as a web 35 and is arranged in the recess 28 of the holding element 22 .

In the state shown, the sun protection device 10 can be mounted in the frame 12 by means of the holder 14, in which the side wall 13 and the front side 19 form approximately a right angle with one another. Since the web 35 can be moved in the receptacle 28 in a hinge-like manner similar to a socket joint, the sun protection device 10 can also be fastened in the same way in other frames with the holder 14, in which the side wall 13 and the front side 19 have a larger angle than 90 degrees to each other.

figure 5 shows a similar representation 4 . The sun protection device 10 is mounted in a frame 36 by means of the holder 14 . The frame 36 differs from the frame 12 in that the side wall 13 and the front 19 are at an angle greater than 90 degrees to one another. In the embodiment shown, the side wall 13 and the front 19 have an angle of 105 degrees to each other. As can be seen from the figure, in the case of the holder 14 shown, this is the largest angle for which the holder 14 can be used. In the assembled state shown in the figure, the carrier 32 comes to rest against the side wall 13 with its lower end in the figure. This is possible, although the holder 14 as well as in 4 is attached to the side wall 13 at the same angle to the latter. In this case, the contact surface 34 rests against the side wall 13 . This is made possible by the fact that the web 35 can be moved in the receptacle 28 like in a joint socket. The light gap at the side of the winding shaft 31 can continue to be covered by the end cap 17 .

In the exemplary embodiment shown, assembly in frame geometries is possible in which the angle of the side wall 13 and the front side 19 is between 90 degrees and 105 degrees. For use with larger angles between the side wall 13 and the front side 14, the height of the web 23 may have to be increased, so that a larger distance between the holding element 22 and the contact surface 34 is realized.

6 shows a similar representation 4 . In contrast to the representation of 4 however, a frame 37 is shown in which the side wall 13 is at an angle greater than 90 degrees to a front face 39 of the frame 37 . In the embodiment shown, the angle between the side wall 13 and the front 39 is 95 degrees. As can also be seen from the figure, a shoulder 38 is provided between the side wall 13 and the front side 39 . It can be seen from the figure that even with this angle between the side wall 13 and the front side 39 and despite the step 38, the same holder 14 can be used for mounting the sun protection device 10.

7 shows a similar representation 4 . In the view shown, the sun protection device 10 is mounted in a frame 40 by means of the holder 14 . For the frame 40, the angle between the side wall 13 and the front 19 is 102 degrees. Here, too, assembly with the holder 14 is possible in the same way.

As can be seen from the preceding figures, a reliable assembly of the sun protection device 10 can be achieved with the holder 14 with different frame geometries. It is only the distance of the holder 14 from the front 19 corresponding to the angle between the side wall 13 and the front 19 to adjust. How this adjustment can be done reliably in a simple manner is described below with reference to Figures 8 to 17 explained in more detail.

8 shows a schematic partial representation of the frame 12 for mounting the holder 14. As can be seen from the figure, a positioning aid 41 is arranged in the upper left corner of the frame 12. FIG. The positioning aid has two supports 42, 43 on a handle 44 at opposite ends. On the side of the supports 42, 43 facing away from the handle, receptacles 45, 46 for the pins 25, 26 of the holder 14 are provided. In the state shown, the pins 25, 26 are in the associated receptacles 45, 46. As can also be seen from the figure, the positioning aid further has stops 47, 48 for striking against the side wall 13 and stops 49, 50 for striking against the upper edge 20 on. At the in the 8 the state shown, the stop 49 rests against the upper edge 20 . When a mirror-inverted holder 14 is mounted on the right-hand side in the upper right corner of a frame 12, the stop 50 comes to rest with the upper edge 20. The position of the holder 14 on the side wall 13 is fixed by the rest of the supports 42, 43 on the front side 19 of the frame 12 and by the stop 49 striking the upper edge 20. Since the pins 25, 26 are in the receptacles 45, 46, a different angle between the positioning aid 41 and the holder 14 is possible with other frame geometries. In this way, the holder 14 is always reliably positioned for the respective frame geometry. After the position of the holder 14 has been determined by means of the positioning aid 41, the holder 14 can be screwed tightly to the side wall 13 through the holes 29, 30 by means of screws 51, 52.

9 shows the holder 14 of FIG 8 after screwing the screws 51, 52 through the holes 29, 30 into the side wall 13, the positioning aid being removed from the holder 14. Because of the interaction of the stop 49 with the upper edge 20, the height of the holder 14 is correctly adjusted. Through the interaction of the supports 42, 43 with the front side 19, the spacing of the holding element 22 is in turn set correctly in such a way that the cover 16 and the end cap 17 come to rest on the front side 19.

10 shows the positioning aid 41 in a perspective view when it has been removed from the holder 14 . As can also be seen from the figure, the holder 14 also has a latching hook 53 . After sliding the sun protection device 10 onto the holding element 22 of the holder 14 , the carrier 32 snaps into the snap-in hook 53 by means of snap-in elements corresponding to the snap-in hook and is thus held securely on the holder 14 .

The figure also shows how the receptacles 45, 46 can be plugged onto the pins 25, 26. It can also be seen that the positioning aid 41 can be pivoted about these pins 25, 26 when the receptacles 45, 46 are pushed onto the pins 25, 26.

11 shows a similar representation 10 from a different perspective. The figure serves to better illustrate the interaction of positioning aid 41 and holder 14.

12 shows a similar representation 10 . In the figure 12 the positioning aid 41 is pushed onto the holder 14 in such a way that the pins 25, 26 are accommodated in the receptacles 45, 46.

13 shows a plan view of the positioning aid 41 and the holder 14. The positioning aid 41 is removed from the holder 14. The figure serves to better understand how the positioning aid works.

14 shows the positioning aid 41 and the holder 14 from FIG 13 in the 13 seen from above.

The Figures 15 to 17 show the positioning aid 41 arranged on the holder 14 in different geometries. It can be seen from the figures that the position of the holder relative to a front of a frame increases as the angle between the side wall and the front increases. In this way, a correct positioning of the holder is achieved by means of the positioning aid at the respective angle between the side wall and the front side.

18 shows a perspective partial view of a frame 12. Shown is a perspective view of the upper left corner. As can be seen from the figure, the frame 12 has a mounting part 54 on the side wall 13 in its upper left corner. There are window manufacturers who provide such assembly parts 54 for the assembly of their own sun protection devices.

19 shows the arrangement of the holder 14 in the frame 12 with mounting part 54 of FIG 18 . So that the holder 14 can also be used in the presence of such mounting parts 54, the holder 14 has a recess above its base 21. In this way, the base 21 comes to lie on the underside of the mounting part 54, while the web 23 is arranged on an unnumbered front side of the mounting part 54. In this way, the holder 14 can be positioned in the manner described and screwed to the side wall 13 by means of the screws 51, 52. The holder 14 can thus be used independently of the frame geometry and the presence of assembly parts 54 and can be reliably positioned by means of the positioning aid 41 .

20 12 shows a holder 55 as another embodiment of the invention. The same elements carry the same reference numbers. In contrast to the holder 14, the holder 55 has a frame 56 which encloses a recess 57. The dimensions of this recess 57 correspond to those of the assembly part 54.

In addition, the holder 25 has a holding element 28 similar to the holding element 22 . The same elements carry the same reference numbers. In contrast to the holding element 22, the holding element 58 has no pins 25, 26, since positioning is effected by the mounting part 54. But it is also possible that the holding element 58 also has pins 25, 26. In this way, the holder 55 can be used with or without the mounting part 54 and with different frame geometries.

21 shows a plan view of the side wall 13 of the holder 55 of FIG 20 . As can be seen from the figure, the frame 56 encloses the mounting part 54 in a non-positive manner. In this way, the holder 55 is held securely on the mounting part 54 by plugging the frame 56 onto the mounting part 54 . A further screw connection by means of screws 51, 52 through the holes 29, 30 is not necessary in this case.

22 shows a similar representation 2 , in which figure the end cap 17 is removed from the cover 16. As can be seen from the figure, the cover 16 has a web 59 at its end facing the end cap 17. The web 59 in turn has a slot 60, the position of which corresponds to that of the hole 24 when the sun protection device 10 is pushed onto the holding element 22 . If the sun protection device 52 is pushed onto the holding element 22 with its carrier 32 , the sun protection device 10 can be secured on the holder 24 by means of the latching hook 53 . However, it is also possible, alternatively or additionally, to screw a screw 61 through the slot 60 into the hole 24 . In this way, too, the sun protection device is secured on the holder 14 as an alternative or in addition. <b><u>List of reference characters:</u></b> 10 sunshade device 37 Frame 11 light entry opening 38 Unit volume 12 Frame 39 front 13 Side wall 40 Frame 14 holder 41 positioning aid 15 curtain 42 edition 16 cover 43 edition 17 end cap 44 handle 18 end bar 45 Recording 19 front 46 Recording 20 upper edge 47 attack 21 Base 48 attack 22 holding element 49 attack 23 web 50 attack 24 Hole 51 screw 25 Upper cone 52 screw 26 Lower spigot 53 latch hook 27 body 54 assembly part 28 recess 55 holder 29 Hole 56 Frame 30 Hole 57 recess 31 winding shaft 58 holding element 32 carrier 59 web 33 disc 60 slot 34 contact surface 61 screw 35 web 36 Frame
