Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a screen device, comprising:
  • Such screen devices are e.g. known from US 2,060,582 and US 2,426,133 .
  • the first joining strip, the second joining strip and the coupling piece together form a zip fastener.
  • the joining strips may be constructed in various known ways and will typically comprise a textile strip which is provided on a lateral side with metal or plastic hook elements.
  • the hook elements of the joining strips may interhook in order to couple the joining strips to each other and unhook to uncouple the joining strips from each other.
  • the Y-shaped channel has open ends through which the hook elements of the joining strips may be pushed.
  • the screens may in this case be in line with one another, in which case they extend substantially in the same plane in the unrolled state, or they may each extend substantially in another plane in the unrolled state, in which case these planes are arranged at an angle to each other.
  • a screen device comprising:
  • Such a guide element forms a gradual transition towards the coupling piece. Due to the guide element, the stresses in the screen at the location of the coupling piece are greatly reduced, due to the fact that these are at least partly absorbed in a gradual way by means of the guide element, before they would be absorbed by the coupling piece. These stresses on the screens occur, inter alia due to sagging of these screens and due to the fact that said joining strips on the lateral sides of the screens cannot be attached to each other with 100% accuracy on the corresponding lateral sides on both screens. During installation of the screens, the differences between both joining strips are minimized as well as possible by angular rotation of the screens with respect to each other. However, these differences cannot be entirely compensated for by means of this procedure.
  • Such a guide element can be produced in quite a number of ways.
  • the guide element may be rigid.
  • the design thereof is then adapted as well as possible to the stresses to be absorbed.
  • Such a rigid guide element may be produced so as to be hard-wearing and may be arranged in a fixed position in the screen device connecting with the coupling piece or forming part of an adapted coupling piece.
  • the guide element may be at least partly deformable, for example made of a flexible plastic.
  • This guide element or a part thereof is then preferably designed to be flexible in such a way that its shape automatically adapts to the stresses to be absorbed.
  • its guide surface In the rest position, its guide surface may extend, for example, parallel to the plane or the planes in which the screens substantially extend.
  • the said stresses will increase and this guide element will then automatically arranged itself in such a manner that its guide surface is arranged gradually further away from each plane in which the screens substantially extend in their unrolled state.
  • the lower body of the coupling piece is preferably at least partly deformable and forms part of the guide element.
  • at least a part of this lower body may also be designed as the said guide element.
  • the guide surface is curved, at least during the unrolling and rolling up of the screens.
  • the coupling piece is tiltably arranged in the screen device and the lower body forms part of the guide element.
  • the coupling piece can then tilt on account of the increased stresses in such a way that its guide surface is arranged gradually further away from each plane in which the screens substantially extend in their unrolled state.
  • a particular embodiment of a screen device comprises a holding element with a bottom holding body and a top holding body, between which the coupling piece is arranged, in which the bottom holding body forms part of the guide element.
  • a holding element With such a holding element, it is easily possible to enable a guide element according to the present invention to connect with a coupling piece which is for example commercially available and which is arranged between the holding bodies of this holding element.
  • the holding element preferably comprises a first channel which connects with the first leg, a second channel which connects with the second leg and a third channel which connects with the third leg of the Y-shaped channel.
  • the third channel preferably ends away from the coupling piece in a diverging piece, so that a gradual transition towards the screen rollers is achieved.
  • the first channel and the second channel preferably also each end away from the coupling piece in a diverging piece, so that stresses can be absorbed gradually.
  • a guide element according to the present invention is particularly advantageous with a screen device according to the present invention, in which the screen rollers are rotatable about a respective rotation axle and in which these rotation axles are arranged at an angle with respect to each other in the fitted position of the screen device.
  • the illustrated screen device (1) comprises two screen rollers (2, 3) and two screens (4, 5) which are attached to a respective screen roller (2, 3) at one end and are arranged thereon so as to be able to be rolled up and unrolled.
  • the screen rollers (2, 3) are rotatable about a respective rotation axle (R, S).
  • these rotation axles (R, S) are arranged at an angle ( ⁇ ) with respect to each other.
  • the screens (4, 5) then extend substantially in planes which extend at the same angle ( ⁇ ) with respect to each other.
  • the present invention also applies to screen devices (1) in which the screen rollers (2, 3) are arranged in line with one another, so that the screens (4, 5) extend substantially in the same plane in the unrolled state.
  • Such screen devices (1) may typically be arranged in front of windows (35), as can be seen in Figs. 1 and 2 , in order to at least partly screen these against sunlight. If these windows (35) can be opened, such screens (4, 5) are typically also used as a protection against insects. Such screen devices (1) may also be arranged freely or incorporated in, for example, a terrace covering in order to screen off an external space against sunlight or wind, etc.
  • Each of the screen rollers (2, 3) of the illustrated screen device (1) is accommodated in a screen casing (30, 31).
  • a bottom slat (28, 29) is in each case attached.
  • These bottom slats (28, 29) are coupled to each other to form a functional unit. These are provided to allow the screens (4, 5) to sag under the weight of these bottom slats (28, 29).
  • lateral guides (26, 27) are arranged, in which the corresponding lateral sides of the screens (4, 5) and the corresponding ends of the bottom slats (28, 29) are held in a guided manner.
  • lateral guides (26, 27) may be provided, on the respective side, with, for example, the same joining strip as on the side thereof adjacent to the other screen (5, 4).
  • the screens (5, 4) could alternatively also be provided on these lateral sides with other known guide elements for holding screens (5, 4) in lateral guides (26, 27) in a guided manner.
  • a zip fastener (6, 7, 8) is provided to couple the screens (4, 5) to each other in the unrolled state.
  • the screens (4, 5) are to this end provided with a joining strip (6, 7) on their corresponding lateral side.
  • the illustrated joining strips (6, 7) are constructed in a known manner from a textile strip which is provided with metal hook elements. However, these could also be constructed in several other known ways.
  • the hook elements of the joining strips (6, 7) may interhook in order couple the joining strips (6, 7) to each other and unhook in order to uncouple the joining strips (6, 7) from each other.
  • a coupling piece (8) is in each case arranged under the screen casings (30, 31) in order to couple or uncouple these joining strips (6, 7).
  • This coupling piece (8) in each case comprises an upper body (9), a lower body (10) and an intermediate piece (11), which together delimit a Y-shaped channel, in which the joining strips (6, 7) are fittable so as to be displaceable for coupling them when unrolling the screens (4, 5) or uncoupling them when rolling up the screens (4, 5).
  • the coupling piece (8) is in each case held in a holding element (17) which comprises a bottom holding body (18) and a top holding body (19), between which the coupling piece (8) is arranged.
  • the coupling piece (8) is in this case held in a recess (32) in the holding element (17).
  • the holding element (17) in each case comprises a first channel (20) which connects with a first leg (12) of the Y-shaped channel, a second channel (21) which connects with a second leg (13) of the Y-shaped channel and a third channel (22) which connects with the third leg (14) of the Y-shaped channel.
  • the channels (20, 21, 22) in the holding element (17) in each case end away from the coupling piece (8) in a diverging piece (23, 24, 25).
  • the first two illustrated holding elements (17) in each case comprise a rigid bottom holding body (18) and a rigid top holding body (19) which are arranged in the screen device (1) in a fixed manner.
  • the bottom holding body (18) is configured as a guide element (15) and is to this end, in each case adjoining the third leg (14) of the Y-shaped channel, provided with a curved surface (16) which is arranged gradually further away from the planes in which the screens (4, 5) substantially extend in their unrolled state.
  • the last illustrated holding element (17) is tiltably secured on a securing body (34) which is pivotable about a pivot pin (33).
