Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stabilizer rod unit for sun protection, in the form of a parasol or an awning.
  • the U.S. 4,640,332 A discloses a fastening or clamping arrangement for releasably fastening various awning support elements to support tubes of an awning device mounted on a vehicle.
  • the DE 100 28 836 C1 describes a support rod for an awning, in which the rod is telescopic and has a thread on its upper side, on the tip of which a wave-shaped pin is attached.
  • the US 2007/0062565 A1 discloses an umbrella frame which is designed, inter alia, by a restraint device for use in strong winds, as often occurs on a boat at relatively high speeds.
  • the stabilizer rod units contemplated so far are to be further improved in such a way that they can withstand even higher wind loads and, above all, the load on the rod is nevertheless reduced.
  • the stabilizer rod unit according to the invention has an angle adjustment device via which the angle of the locking part to the rod can be changed.
  • the stabilizer rod unit according to the invention comprises a plug connection by means of which the connecting part can be detached from the rod and coupled to it without tools, the plug connection being designed as a bayonet connection.
  • the angle adjustment device of the stabilizer rod unit according to the invention is a joint that has a horizontal pivot axis and the pivot axis is also designed as a plug connection for tool-free loosening and uncoupling of the rod from the connection part, the pivot axis being formed by a transverse pin which is inserted into a Groove can be inserted laterally.
  • the angle adjustment device ensures that the rod and the strut can remain at their different angles, which they have at home, and that no tension can occur between the two parts. In the case of known stabilizer rod units, this tensioning ensures an additional permanent load on the strut, which significantly reduces the fatigue strength.
  • the angle adjustment device has a pivot axis which runs horizontally in the erected state of the rod, i. H. perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod.
  • the connection part can be adapted to the angle of the strut of the sun protection via this horizontal swivel axis.
  • the strut of a parasol or awning is also adjusted via a horizontal swivel axis, so that the connection part can be adapted to the angle of the strut.
  • the angle adjustment device can be designed in such a way that the angle cannot be locked so that an angle compensation can take place permanently. Another advantage is that differently erected or extended awnings or not exactly vertically aligned rods or sunshades, in which the struts do not have the optimal, final angle to the horizontal have, can be stabilized stress-free, because the angle adjustment device adapts itself to the actual angle.
  • the angle adjustment device is a joint. This joint ensures that the rod and strut can pivot. As already mentioned above, it can be of great advantage if this joint cannot be fixed, that is, allows movement even during operation.
  • the joint can have a pivot axis.
  • the stabilizer rod unit can both be quickly dismantled from the sunshade and be quickly coupled.
  • the stabilizer rod unit stands in the way and should therefore be removed, whereas when the weather is approaching it should be possible to quickly fix the stabilizer rod unit to the sun protection.
  • the plug connection solves this problem because it ensures that the rod can be detached and coupled to the connector without tools.
  • the strut is so far away from the ground that the operator normally cannot reach the connection part with his hands.
  • the plug connection is designed in such a way that it can also be coupled if the strut ends more than 2 m above the ground.
  • the plug connection is present between the rod and the coupling piece, within the coupling piece or between the coupling piece and the connection part, this list not being exhaustive.
  • a bayonet connection is provided as a plug connection.
  • the pivot axis is formed by a cross pin on the rod side, which can be inserted laterally into a strut-side T-slot.
  • the T-slot can also be present in a part on the rod side and the transverse pin in a part on the strut side.
  • Strut and rod side means that the cross pin is coupled directly or indirectly to the rod before coupling and the T-slot is coupled to a part directly or indirectly coupled to the strut.
  • connection part can have a receptacle for the strut, which is designed in particular as a circumferentially closed opening.
  • connection part is preferably permanently attached to the associated strut, so that existing sunshades or awnings can also be equipped with the stabilizer rod unit.
  • the connecting part By designing the connecting part with a receptacle, it is possible either to leave the strut completely unprocessed or, if necessary, to provide it with a small bore so that the stability of the strut itself for attaching the stabilizer rod unit is not weakened.
  • the shape of the receptacle can be adapted to the outer contour of the strut so that, for example, a sliding fit can be formed.
  • At least one fastening means can be present on the connection part in order to fix the connection part on the strut.
  • This fastening means is, for example, a clamping screw, thanks to which no drilling is necessary in the strut.
  • the rod itself is designed as a height-adjustable telescopic rod. This means that it can be used universally for different parasols and awnings.
  • the telescopic rod is in particular provided with an upper and a lower rod, which are inserted into one another and can be fixed to one another with a quick-release fastener when the height is adjusted.
  • a variant of the invention provides that the plug connection is formed between two parts of the coupling piece. This makes it possible, for example, to always use the coupling piece as a standard assembly and, depending on the strut, to use a connecting part that is adapted to it, which in turn has to be attached to the standard coupling piece. Thus, only the connecting parts are individual for the different geometries of struts.
  • the pivot axis extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the strut.
  • the above-mentioned pivot axis can at the same time be designed as a plug connection for tool-free loosening and coupling of the rod from or to the connecting part.
  • the swivel axis thus has a double function.
  • a vertical adjustment device for preferably continuous adjustment of the distance between the connection part and the rod can be installed between the connection part and the rod
  • the adjusting device is in particular a vertically extending screw. This screw can be part of the plug-in connection in order to realize double functions again.
  • the coupling piece has a spherical head which rests on a socket surface and allows a pivoting movement transverse to the pivot axis, in particular perpendicular to the pivot axis, between adjacent parts.
  • This special design allows an angle compensation laterally to the strut in the event that, for example, the anchoring of the bottom end of the rod does not run exactly vertically. In this case the strut could be bent sideways. Compensation can also be created in this pivoting direction via the ball head.
  • the ball head is formed between a rod-side and a strut-side part of the coupling piece.
  • connection part is designed as a fork with a pivot axis, the other of the two parts being received in the fork.
  • FIG. 1 a sun protection in the form of a parasol or an awning, with a foot 12 and several struts 14 extending from the tip of the foot 12 and having ends 16 are shown. A fabric is stretched over the struts 14 and is omitted here for the sake of clarity.
  • a stabilizer rod unit 18 is attached, which has a bottom end 20 on the floor side, which is anchored in a floor sleeve 22, for example.
  • the stabilizer rod unit 18 is fastened to the strut 14 at the upper end 24 on the rod side.
  • Figure 2 shows a stabilizer bar unit, which consists of several sections.
  • the uppermost section is a so-called connection part 26, with a continuous receptacle 28 in the form of an opening, the inner contour of which is adapted to the outer contour of the strut 14 in the area of the end 16, so that both form a sliding connection with one another.
  • connection part 26 Via fastening means 30, here in the form of The connecting part 26 can be clamped to the associated strut 14 by screws that protrude into the receptacle 28.
  • connection part 26 is preferably permanently attached to the strut 14. This is to provide quick and easy attachment of the remainder of the stabilizer bar assembly in the event of an emerging wind.
  • connection part 26 is seated via screw connections (not shown) on a so-called coupling piece 32, which can be made in several parts, as shown in FIG Figures 2 to 4 is shown.
  • the coupling piece comprises an upper part 34 which is permanently connected to the connection piece 26, for example via screw connections (not shown), and a lower part 36 detachable therefrom, which is inserted into the upper tube 38 of a rod 40 in the form of a telescopic rod and therein via, for example, screws 42 is attached.
  • the lower part 36 remains permanently attached to the rod 40.
  • the rod 40 also has a lower tube 44 into which the upper tube 38 is inserted. Both tubes 38, 44 can be clamped to one another or released from one another via a quick connection 46 with levers so that the length of the rod 40 can be quickly adjusted.
  • the coupling piece 32 comprises a so-called angle adjustment device 48, which in the present case also forms a plug connection 50 with which the rod 40 can be coupled to the connecting part 26, namely without tools.
  • the angle adjustment device 48 comprises a joint, via which the upper part 34 can be pivoted about a horizontal axis relative to the lower part 36.
  • the joint has a corresponding pivot axis 52 in the form of a pin running transversely and thus perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, which is attached to a screw-like connecting piece 54 which runs vertically and can be screwed into a corresponding internal thread in the lower part 36 via a thread 56 provided on the outer circumference .
  • the pin 52 and the connecting piece 54 form a T-shape and a type of locking part which can be received in a T-shaped groove 60 in the upper part 34.
  • the T-shaped groove 60 is, as in FIG Figure 2 you can see, starting from the outer jacket of the upper part 34, so that the locking part consisting of pin 52 and connecting piece 54 can be moved laterally into the groove 60 in order to plug the coupling piece 32 together.
  • a stop washer 64 is attached to the lower end of the connecting piece 54 and protrudes laterally over the connecting piece 54 and prevents the connecting piece 54 from being rotated upward out of the lower part 36.
  • the threaded connection between the connecting piece 54 and the lower part 36 serves as a vertical adjustment device for the stepless adjustment of the distance between the connecting part 26 and the rod 40 in order to enable a fine adjustment in height.
  • a spherical head 70 provided at the lower end of the upper part 34, which rests on a socket surface 72 formed on the upper side of the lower part 36.
  • the connecting part 24 and the upper part 34 attached to it are permanently attached to the strut 14.
  • the unit comprising telescopic rod 40 and lower part 36 is grasped by the operator if necessary, and the operator inserts the T-shaped locking part into the complementary groove 60.
  • the lower end 20 is then inserted into the anchorage, here in the sleeve 22, the quick connection 46 preferably being released.
  • connection part 26 together with an upper part 34 is permanently attached to the strut 14.
  • a ball joint head 82 is provided as the angle adjustment device, which is coupled to the upper part 34 via a horizontal pin 83 and is thus pivotable.
  • the ball joint head 82 also allows an angular orientation in the direction of the double arrow X in Figure 4 .
  • a part of a bayonet catch is provided, namely the male part in the form of a laterally protruding pin 84 (see Figure 8 ) with two laterally protruding ends.
  • the lower part 36 has the corresponding female receptacle of the bayonet lock. Seen from above, there is a slot 86 for this purpose (see Figure 7 ), through which the lower end of the joint head 82 together with the pin 84 must be passed. Then there is a rotation about the axis A, approximately by 90 degrees, in that the lower part 36 has corresponding pie-shaped recesses 88 (see FIG Figure 8 ). The rotation takes place until the ends of the pin 84 have reached stop surfaces 90 on the lower part 36. Then the locking is done. In order to also fix this position, one or more spring-loaded locking balls 92 (see FIG Figures 6 and 8 ) be provided, which according to the pin 84 in the locked end position Figure 8 hold.
  • the coupling and detachment of the telescopic rod from the strut 14 takes place through this bayonet connection.
  • a corresponding or similar bayonet connection between the rod 40 and the coupling piece 32 or between the coupling piece 32 and the Connection part 36 take place.
  • the advantage of the solution shown is that with different struts only the connection piece 26 needs to be changed, the other parts can remain identical.
  • the angle of the connection part can be adapted to the angle of the strut of the parasol or the awning.
  • the angle adjustment device cannot be locked, so that a permanent angle compensation can take place if, for example, there are gusts of wind. This significantly reduces the stress on the strut and joints in the sun protection.
  • the plug-in connection can also be provided between the connection part 26 and the coupling piece, for example by the connection part 26 and the part 34 being made in one piece according to FIG. Then this combined part remains permanently attached to the strut.
  • the plug connection can also be present between the coupling piece and the rod 40 by, for example, at the upper edge of the rod in the side wall of the respective side wall an L-shaped groove is cut into which a transverse web forms the pivot axis from above , can be introduced.
  • the pivot axis in this case can always run at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the strut and can be adapted to this, the rod 40 should have an upper link which can be rotated about the longitudinal axis A of the rod 40 to adjust the position of the pivot axis to enable.
  • the stabilizer bar assembly can also be used to build partitions.
  • Connecting rods can be inserted through the receptacles 28 between adjacent rods 40 to form a frame.
  • a flexible visible wall for example a tarpaulin, is stretched in between.
