  • the extension profile is accordingly at the rear, ie at the rear ends of the guide rails running in the extension direction.
  • the extension profile along the guide rails is at most backwards in the extension direction moved forward and is thus located at the front end of the guide rails.
  • conservatory awning and awning are used synonymously.
  • Designated within the meaning of the invention is such an embodiment in which the extension profile is movably mounted on guide rails.
  • roller tube can be driven by an electric motor and/or the extension profile can be retracted and/or extended by means of an actuating means, in particular by means of a driven traction means.

  • both the cloth shaft and the valance shaft can each be driven by means of an electric motor, in particular by means of an electric motor that can be actuated by a remote control.
  • An intelligent control ensures that the extension profile can only be retracted when the valance is retracted and/or the valance can only be extended when the extension profile is fully extended. This prevents the valance from being extended at a point where it is still above a canopy or the like. Furthermore, damage to the valance is reliably prevented if retraction of the extension profile is only possible when the valance is retracted, ie an extended valance has previously been retracted.
  • the valance shaft motor is particularly preferably fed by an accumulator, in particular that the extension profile has an accumulator for supplying power to the valance shaft motor.
  • the accumulator can be charged via contacts that are automatically closed when the extension profile is fully retracted and establish a connection to a power supply.
  • the accumulator can be charged inductively without contact, in particular that inductive charging of the accumulator takes place automatically when the extension profile is fully retracted.
  • the connection to the power source is made via electrical contacts. It is particularly advantageous if, when the sun protection is retracted, the connection to the power source is made by induction via coils, so that insufficient contact cannot occur.
  • the valance shaft is received by the extension profile and is rotatably mounted, in particular, in the extension profile.
  • the fact that the valance shaft is accommodated by the extension profile means that the valance shaft is arranged in or on the extension profile.
  • the Ausfahrprofil is formed by a hollow profile, within which the Valance shaft is recorded and rotatably mounted so that the valance can be unwound from the valance shaft and extended downwards.
  • the valance shaft is preferably received by the extension profile and rotatably mounted in the extension profile by means of valance shaft bearings, the valance shaft bearings being mounted in sliding blocks that slide in slotted guides, so that the valance shaft can be moved back and forth in the extension direction of the valance.
  • each sliding block can be fixed at any point on its link guide and it is possible to set and limit the sliding path of the sliding blocks by means of adjustable stops in the link guide.
  • the feature according to which the valance shaft can be moved back and forth in the extension direction of the valance means that the ability to move back and forth has at least one component in the extension direction of the valance.
  • the floating mounting of the valance shaft in sliding blocks ensures that the valance shaft can be moved back and forth.
  • the link guide can therefore preferably be vertical, but the link guide can also be inclined relative to the vertical, in particular inclined in such a way that the unwinding line of the valance from the valance shaft always remains in the same position even with a changing valance winding shaft diameter, so that the unwound valance is not in In the direction of the terrace canopy, it migrates in the opposite direction to the exit direction of the exit profile or in the direction of the exit direction of the exit profile.
  • the valance shaft is preferably accommodated by the extension profile and a support is arranged, by means of which the valance shaft is supported.
  • a support means that the valance shaft is supported against the weight force, so that the valance shaft is prevented from bending.
  • Such a support is particularly advantageous in combination with a floating mounting of the valance shaft in sliding blocks, as a result of which the valance shaft always rests on the support and is supported by it against the weight force, regardless of the valance winding shaft diameter, which changes depending on the extent to which the valance is extended.
  • the support can be formed by a support surface.
  • the support surface preferably has at least one friction-reducing insert and/or overlay. Because the support surface has at least one friction-reducing insert and/or pad, the static friction between the roll of the valance and the support surface is reduced, and in particular the roll of valance is prevented from sticking to the support surface. It is particularly advantageous that for winding and unwinding the valance, due to the reduced static friction between the valance roll and the support surface, only lower forces or torques are required on the winding shaft and at the same time the valance cloth can be evenly wound up on the valance shaft to form a roll .
  • the friction-reducing inserts and/or pads are formed by brushes and/or felt and/or fibrous web.
  • the inserts and/or supports are in the form of strips, in particular in the form of strips parallel to the axis of the winding shaft.

  • the inserts and/or supports can lie in corresponding recesses of the support surface, in particular in grooves, in a non-positive manner, in particular by clamping.
  • the inserts and/or overlays can be glued onto the support surface.
  • the supporting surface preferably has a concave shape, in particular a part-cylindrical shape.
  • the curvature of the cylinder surface is preferably adapted to the curvature of the outer circumference of the valance roll that is completely wound up on the valance shaft.
  • the support surface preferably extends over almost the entire length of the valance corrugation, or its extent corresponds to the length of the valance corrugation or the width of the valance.
  • the term width of the valance means the width of the cloth to be wound up on the valance shaft to form a valance roll along the valance shaft, which is usually somewhat smaller than the length of the valance shaft.
  • the support surface has a guide edge for the valance cloth which is directed towards the unwinding direction of the planar shading and/or privacy protection element and on which the valance cloth can slide when being wound up and unwound.
  • the guiding edge is preferably convexly curved, so that the valance always rests on a large support surface and can slide gently along it.
  • the support surface is preferably designed in such a way that it supports the roll of the valance against the force of gravity.
  • the support surface extends over an angle of 90° to 180°, in particular at least 120°, around the wound bale. As a result, a large-area support of the winding bale is possible.

Aus der DE 27 46 848 A1 ist eine Markise bekannt, bestehend aus einer drehantreibbaren Wickelwelle für ein Markisentuch, und einem mit der Wickelwelle abstandsveränderbar verbundenen Ausfallrohr, wobei das Markistentuch einerseits an der Wickelwelle befestigt und andererseits an dem Ausfallrohr festgelegt ist und wobei an dem Ausfallrohr ein frei herabhängender Volant vorgesehen ist, wobei der Volant in seiner freien Länge veränderbar ist.From the DE 27 46 848 A1 an awning is known, consisting of a rotatably drivable winding shaft for an awning fabric, and a extension tube connected to the winding shaft at a distance that can be changed, the awning fabric being fastened to the winding shaft on the one hand and fixed to the extension tube on the other hand, and a freely hanging valance being provided on the extension tube, whereby the free length of the valance can be changed.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Wintergartenmarkise mit einem Volant bereitzustellen, die eine hohe Betriebssicherheit und eine hohe Sicherheit gegen eine Fehlbedienung aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a conservatory awning with a valance that has a high level of operational reliability and a high level of security against incorrect operation.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Markise gemäß Anspruch 1, eine Terrassenüberdachung gemäß Anspruch 8 und ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 11 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention by an awning according to claim 1, a patio roof according to claim 8 and a method according to claim 11. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Besonders vorteilhaft bei der Wintergartenmarkise mit einer drehbar gelagerten Tuchwelle, von der ein Tuch abwickelbar ist, dessen in Ausfahrrichtung vorderes Ende an einem Ausfahrprofil befestigt ist, wobei das Ausfahrprofil an Führungsschienen verfahrbar gelagert ist, ist es, dass das Ausfahrprofil eine Volantwelle aufweist, von der ein Volant abwickelbar und nach unten ausfahrbar ist.It is particularly advantageous for conservatory awnings with a rotatably mounted fabric shaft from which a fabric can be unwound, the front end of which is attached to an extension profile in the extension direction, with the extension profile being movably mounted on guide rails, that the extension profile has a valance shaft from which a valance can be developed and extended downwards.

Durch einen derartigen Volant wird eine Beschattung einer Terrasse oder eines Wintergartens auch gegen das von vorne schräg einfallende Sonnenlicht ermöglicht. Vorne bezieht sich dabei auf die Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofils. Das Ausfahrprofil befindet sich bei vollständig aufgewickeltem Tuch dementsprechend hinten, also an den hinteren Enden der in Ausfahrrichtung verlaufenden Führungsschienen. Bei vollständig abgewickeltem Tuch ist das Ausfahrprofil entlang der Führungsschienen in Ausfahrrichtung maximal nach vorne verfahren und befindet sich somit am vorderen Ende der Führungsschienen.Such a valance enables a terrace or a conservatory to be shaded, even against the sunlight falling obliquely from the front. Front refers to the extension direction of the extension profile. When the cover is completely rolled up, the extension profile is accordingly at the rear, ie at the rear ends of the guide rails running in the extension direction. When the cover is completely unwound, the extension profile along the guide rails is at most backwards in the extension direction moved forward and is thus located at the front end of the guide rails.

Im Sinne der Erfindung werden die Begriffe Wintergartenmarkise und Markise synonym benutzt. Bezeichnet im Sinne der Erfindung ist jeweils eine solche Ausführungsform, bei denen das Ausfahrprofil an Führungsschienen verfahrbar gelagert ist.For the purposes of the invention, the terms conservatory awning and awning are used synonymously. Designated within the meaning of the invention is such an embodiment in which the extension profile is movably mounted on guide rails.

Insbesondere kann die Tuchwelle mittels eines Elektromotors angetrieben sein und/oder das Ausfahrprofil kann mittels eines Betätigungsmittels ein- und/oder ausfahrbar sein, insbesondere mittels eines angetriebenen Zugmittels.In particular, the roller tube can be driven by an electric motor and/or the extension profile can be retracted and/or extended by means of an actuating means, in particular by means of a driven traction means.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das Ausfahrprofil eine Volantwelle auf, von der ein Volant abwickelbar ist. Der Volant kann dabei sowohl mit insbesondere senkrecht verlaufenden Führungselementen oder ohne Führungselemente ausgeführt sein, insbesondere frei hängend senkrecht nach unten ausfahrbar sein. Alternativ kann der Volant an insbesondere senkrecht angeordneten Führungselementen geführt sein. An dem in Ausfahrrichtung vorderen Ende des Volants kann ein Abschlussprofil angeordnet sein. Dieses Abschlussprofil kann frei hängen oder alternativ an insbesondere senkrecht angeordneten Führungselementen geführt sein.According to the invention, the extension profile has a flounce shaft from which a flounce can be unwound. The valance can be designed both with, in particular, vertically running guide elements or without guide elements, in particular it can be extended vertically downwards in a freely hanging manner. Alternatively, the valance can be guided, in particular, on guide elements that are arranged vertically. A terminating profile can be arranged at the front end of the valance in the extension direction. This terminating profile can hang freely or, alternatively, be guided on guide elements that are arranged in particular vertically.

Erfindungsgemäß werden die Tuchwelle mittels eines Tuchwellenmotors und die Volantwelle mittels eines Volantwellenmotors elektromotorisch angetrieben, wobei der Tuchwellenmotor und der Volantwellenmotor von einer Steuerungseinheit betätigt werden, die derart eingerichtet ist, dass ein Ausfahren des Volants nur bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil ermöglicht ist und/oder ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils nur bei vollständig eingefahrenem Volant ermöglicht ist.According to the invention, the fabric shaft is driven by a fabric shaft motor and the valance shaft is driven by an electric motor by means of a valance shaft motor, with the fabric shaft motor and the valance shaft motor being actuated by a control unit that is set up in such a way that the valance can only be extended and/or retracted when the extension profile is fully extended of the extension profile is only possible when the valance is fully retracted.

Vorzugsweise sind somit sowohl die Tuchwelle als auch die die Volantwelle jeweils mittels eines Elektromotors, insbesondere mittels eines durch eine Fernbedienung betätigbaren Elektromotors, antreibbar.Preferably, both the cloth shaft and the valance shaft can each be driven by means of an electric motor, in particular by means of an electric motor that can be actuated by a remote control.

Mittels einer intelligenten Steuerung wird es gewährleistet, dass ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils nur bei eingefahrenem Volant möglich ist und/oder ein Ausfahren des Volants nur bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil möglich ist. Hierdurch wird es verhindert, dass der Volant an einer Stelle ausgefahren wird, an welcher er sich noch oberhalb einer Überdachung oder dergleichen befindet. Ferner wird eine Beschädigung des Volants zuverlässig verhindert, wenn ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils nur dann möglich ist, wenn der Volant eingefahren ist, also ein ausgefahrener Volant zuvor eingefahren wurde.An intelligent control ensures that the extension profile can only be retracted when the valance is retracted and/or the valance can only be extended when the extension profile is fully extended. This prevents the valance from being extended at a point where it is still above a canopy or the like. Furthermore, damage to the valance is reliably prevented if retraction of the extension profile is only possible when the valance is retracted, ie an extended valance has previously been retracted.

Besonders bevorzugt wird der Volantwellenmotor von einem Akkumulator gespeist, insbesondere dass das Ausfahrprofil einen Akkumulator zur Stromversorgung des Volantwellenmotors aufweist.The valance shaft motor is particularly preferably fed by an accumulator, in particular that the extension profile has an accumulator for supplying power to the valance shaft motor.

Insbesondere kann der Akkumulator über Kontakte aufgeladen werden, die bei vollständig eingefahrenem Ausfahrprofil automatisch geschlossen werden und eine Verbindung zu einer Stromversorgung herstellen. Alternativ kann der Akkumulator kontaktlos induktiv aufgeladen werden, insbesondere dass ein induktives Laden des Akkumulators automatisch bei vollständig eingefahrenem Ausfahrprofil erfolgt.In particular, the accumulator can be charged via contacts that are automatically closed when the extension profile is fully retracted and establish a connection to a power supply. Alternatively, the accumulator can be charged inductively without contact, in particular that inductive charging of the accumulator takes place automatically when the extension profile is fully retracted.

Durch die Anordnung eines Akkumulators ist es nicht mehr erforderlich, eine elektrische Leitung zum Ausfallprofil hin zu verlegen. Der Akkumulator wird auch ohne dies regelmäßig und ausreichend aufgeladen. Die Montage ist erleichtert und ein Sicherheitsrisiko besteht nicht mehr. Vorzugsweise wird vorgeschlagen, dass bei eingefahrenem Sonnenschutz die Verbindung mit der Stromquelle über elektrische Kontakteerfolgt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn bei eingefahrenem Sonnenschutz die Verbindung mit der Stromquelle durch Induktion über Spulen erfolgt, so dass eine ungenügende Kontaktierung nicht geschehen kann.By arranging a battery, it is no longer necessary to lay an electrical line to the drop profile. The accumulator is also charged regularly and sufficiently without this. Installation is easier and there is no longer a safety risk. It is preferably proposed that when the sunshade is retracted, the connection to the power source is made via electrical contacts. It is particularly advantageous if, when the sun protection is retracted, the connection to the power source is made by induction via coils, so that insufficient contact cannot occur.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Volantwelle von dem Ausfahrprofil aufgenommen und drehbar insbesondere in dem Ausfahrprofil gelagert. Dass die Volantwelle von dem Ausfahrprofil aufgenommen ist bedeutet erfindungsgemäß, dass die Volantwelle in oder an dem Ausfahrprofil angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise ist das Ausfahrprofil durch ein Hohlprofil gebildet, innerhalb dessen die Volantwelle aufgenommen und drehbar gelagert ist, sodass der Volant von der Volantwelle abwickelbar und nach unten ausfahrbar ist.In a preferred embodiment, the valance shaft is received by the extension profile and is rotatably mounted, in particular, in the extension profile. According to the invention, the fact that the valance shaft is accommodated by the extension profile means that the valance shaft is arranged in or on the extension profile. Preferably, the Ausfahrprofil is formed by a hollow profile, within which the Valance shaft is recorded and rotatably mounted so that the valance can be unwound from the valance shaft and extended downwards.

Vorzugsweise ist die Volantwelle von dem Ausfahrprofil aufgenommen und drehbar mittels Volantwellenlagern in dem Ausfahrprofil gelagert, wobei die Volantwellenlager in Gleitsteinen gelagert sind, die in Kulissenführungen gleiten, sodass die Volantwelle in Ausfahrrichtung des Volants vor- und zurückbewegbar ist. Hierbei kann jeder Gleitstein an einer beliebigen Stelle seiner Kulissenführung feststellbar sein und es ist möglich, durch verstellbare Anschläge in der Kulissenführung den Gleitweg der Gleitsteine einzustellen und zu begrenzen.The valance shaft is preferably received by the extension profile and rotatably mounted in the extension profile by means of valance shaft bearings, the valance shaft bearings being mounted in sliding blocks that slide in slotted guides, so that the valance shaft can be moved back and forth in the extension direction of the valance. In this case, each sliding block can be fixed at any point on its link guide and it is possible to set and limit the sliding path of the sliding blocks by means of adjustable stops in the link guide.

Das Merkmal, wonach die Volantwelle in Ausfahrrichtung des Volants vor- und zurückbewegbar ist, bedeutet, dass die Vor- und Zurückbewegbarkeit zumindest eine Komponente in Ausfahrrichtung des Volants aufweist. Durch die schwimmende Lagerung der Volantwelle in Gleitsteinen ist diese Vor- und Zurückbewegbarkeit der Volantwelle gewährleistet.The feature according to which the valance shaft can be moved back and forth in the extension direction of the valance means that the ability to move back and forth has at least one component in the extension direction of the valance. The floating mounting of the valance shaft in sliding blocks ensures that the valance shaft can be moved back and forth.

Die Kulissenführung kann somit vorzugsweise senkrecht ausgeführt sein, die Kulissenführung kann jedoch auch gegenüber der Senkrechten geneigt sein, insbesondere derart geneigt sein, sodass die Abwickellinie des Volants von der Volantwelle auch bei sich änderndem Volantwickelwellendurchmesser stets an derselben Position bleibt, sodass der abgewickelte Volant nicht in Richtung auf die Terrassenüberdachung entgegen der Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofils oder in Richtung der Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofils wandert.The link guide can therefore preferably be vertical, but the link guide can also be inclined relative to the vertical, in particular inclined in such a way that the unwinding line of the valance from the valance shaft always remains in the same position even with a changing valance winding shaft diameter, so that the unwound valance is not in In the direction of the terrace canopy, it migrates in the opposite direction to the exit direction of the exit profile or in the direction of the exit direction of the exit profile.

Vorzugsweise ist die Volantwelle von dem Ausfahrprofil aufgenommen und es ist eine Abstützung angeordnet, mittels derer die Volantwelle abgestützt wird. Durch eine derartige Abstützung erfolgt eine Abstützung der Volantwelle gegen die Gewichtskraft, sodass eine Durchbiegung der Volantwelle verhindert wird. Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine solche Abstützung in Kombination mit einer schwimmenden Lagerung der Volantwelle in Gleitsteinen, wodurch die Volantwelle unabhängig vom Volantwickelwellendurchmesser, der sich in Abhängigkeit der Ausfahrweite des Volants ändert, stets an der Abstützung anliegt und von dieser gegen die Gewichtskraft abgestützt wird. Eine Durchbiegung der Volantwelle und eine Faltenbildung beim Aufwickeln des Volants wird hierdurch zuverlässig verhindert. Die Abstützung kann durch eine Stützfläche gebildet sein.The valance shaft is preferably accommodated by the extension profile and a support is arranged, by means of which the valance shaft is supported. Such a support means that the valance shaft is supported against the weight force, so that the valance shaft is prevented from bending. Such a support is particularly advantageous in combination with a floating mounting of the valance shaft in sliding blocks, as a result of which the valance shaft always rests on the support and is supported by it against the weight force, regardless of the valance winding shaft diameter, which changes depending on the extent to which the valance is extended. One This reliably prevents bending of the valance shaft and creases when the valance is being wound up. The support can be formed by a support surface.

Bevorzugt weist die Stützfläche zumindest eine reibungsmindernde Einlage und/oder Auflage auf. Dadurch, dass die Stützfläche zumindest eine reibungsmindernde Einlage und/oder Auflage aufweist, wird die Haftreibung zwischen dem Wickelballen des Volants und der Stützfläche gemindert, insbesondere wird ein Anhaften des Volantwickelballens an der Stützfläche verhindert. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei, dass für ein auf- und abwickeln des Volants in Folge der reduzierten Haftreibung zwischen Volantwickelballen und Stützfläche nur geringere Kräfte, bzw. Drehmomente an der Wickelwelle erforderlich sind und gleichzeitig ein gleichmäßiges Aufwickeln des Volanttuches auf der Volantwelle zu einem Wickelballen ermöglicht wird.The support surface preferably has at least one friction-reducing insert and/or overlay. Because the support surface has at least one friction-reducing insert and/or pad, the static friction between the roll of the valance and the support surface is reduced, and in particular the roll of valance is prevented from sticking to the support surface. It is particularly advantageous that for winding and unwinding the valance, due to the reduced static friction between the valance roll and the support surface, only lower forces or torques are required on the winding shaft and at the same time the valance cloth can be evenly wound up on the valance shaft to form a roll .

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die reibungsmindernden Einlagen und/oder Auflagen durch Bürsten und/oder Filz und/oder Faserflor gebildet sind. Insbesondere ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Einlagen und/oder Auflagen streifenförmig, insbesondere in Form zur Achse der Wickelwelle paralleler Streifen ausgebildet sind. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch möglich, nicht lediglich einzelne Streifen, sondern eine großflächige reibungsmindernde Einlage und/oder Auflage in oder auf der Stützfläche vorzusehen, insbesondere in Form eines die gesamte Stützfläche bedeckenden Filzbelages oder dergleichen. Vorzugsweise liegen die Einlagen und/oder Auflagen formschlüssig in entsprechenden Ausnehmungen der Stützfläche ein, insbesondere in Schwalbenschwanznuten oder T-förmigen Nuten. Bei derartig gestalteten Nuten, in denen die Einlagen und/oder Auflagen einliegen, ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, die entsprechend gestalteten Einlagen bei der Montage von der Seite her in die entsprechenden Nuten der Stützfläche einzuschieben, die insbesondere bevorzugt parallel zur Wickelwelle in der Stützfläche angeordnet sind.It is advantageous if the friction-reducing inserts and/or pads are formed by brushes and/or felt and/or fibrous web. In particular, it is advantageous if the inserts and/or supports are in the form of strips, in particular in the form of strips parallel to the axis of the winding shaft. Alternatively, however, it is also possible to provide not just individual strips but a large-area friction-reducing insert and/or overlay in or on the support surface, in particular in the form of a felt covering or the like covering the entire support surface. The inserts and/or supports preferably lie in a form-fitting manner in corresponding recesses in the support surface, in particular in dovetail grooves or T-shaped grooves. With grooves designed in this way, in which the inserts and/or supports lie, it is advantageously possible to slide the correspondingly designed inserts into the corresponding grooves of the support surface from the side during assembly, which is particularly preferably parallel to the winding shaft in the support surface are arranged.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Weise können die Einlagen und/oder Auflagen kraftschlüssig, insbesondere durch Klemmung in entsprechenden Ausnehmungen der Stützfläche, insbesondere in Nuten einliegen. Alternativ oder kumulativ können die Einlagen und/oder Auflagen auf die Stützfläche aufgeklebt sein.In a further preferred manner, the inserts and/or supports can lie in corresponding recesses of the support surface, in particular in grooves, in a non-positive manner, in particular by clamping. Alternatively or cumulatively, the inserts and/or overlays can be glued onto the support surface.

Bevorzugt weist die Stützfläche eine konkave Form, insbesondere eine teilzylindrische Form auf. Die Krümmung der Zylinderfläche wird hierbei vorzugsweise der Krümmung des Außenumfangs des vollständig auf der Volantwelle aufgewickelten Volantwickelballens angepasst.The supporting surface preferably has a concave shape, in particular a part-cylindrical shape. In this case, the curvature of the cylinder surface is preferably adapted to the curvature of the outer circumference of the valance roll that is completely wound up on the valance shaft.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich die Stützfläche über nahezu die ganze Länge der Volantwelle, respektive sie entspricht in ihrer Erstreckung der Länge der Volantwelle oder der Breite des Volants. Mit dem Begriff der Breite des Volants ist dabei die Breite des zu einem Volantwickelballen auf der Volantwelle aufzuwickelnden Tuches entlang der Volantwickelwelle gemeint, die üblicherweise etwas kleiner ist, als es der Länge der Volantwickelwelle entspricht.The support surface preferably extends over almost the entire length of the valance corrugation, or its extent corresponds to the length of the valance corrugation or the width of the valance. The term width of the valance means the width of the cloth to be wound up on the valance shaft to form a valance roll along the valance shaft, which is usually somewhat smaller than the length of the valance shaft.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Stützfläche einen zur Abwickelrichtung des flächigen Beschattungs- und/oder Sichtschutzelementes gerichteten Führungsrand für das Volanttuch aufweist, auf dem das Volanttuch beim Auf- und Abwickeln entlanggleiten kann. Vorzugsweise ist der Führungsrand konvex gekrümmt, so dass der Volant immer auf einer großen Auflagefläche aufliegt und schonend daran entlanggleiten kann.It is advantageous if the support surface has a guide edge for the valance cloth which is directed towards the unwinding direction of the planar shading and/or privacy protection element and on which the valance cloth can slide when being wound up and unwound. The guiding edge is preferably convexly curved, so that the valance always rests on a large support surface and can slide gently along it.

Vorzugsweise ist die Stützfläche derart ausgebildet, dass sie den Wickelballen des Volants gegen die Schwerkraft abstützt. Insbesondere ist vorteilhaft, wenn sich die Stützfläche über einen Winkel von 90° bis 180°, insbesondere mindestens 120° um den Wickelballen herum erstreckt. Hierdurch ist eine großflächige Abstützung des Wickelballens möglich.The support surface is preferably designed in such a way that it supports the roll of the valance against the force of gravity. In particular, it is advantageous if the support surface extends over an angle of 90° to 180°, in particular at least 120°, around the wound bale. As a result, a large-area support of the winding bale is possible.

Besonders vorteilhaft bei der Terrassenüberdachung, insbesondere Wintergarten, mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Markise ist es, dass die Markise die Terrassenüberdachung in Ausfahrrichtung überragt, sodass der am Ausfahrprofil angeordnete Volant bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil senkrecht nach unten ausfahrbar ist.It is particularly advantageous for the patio roof, especially conservatory, with an awning according to the invention that the awning projects beyond the patio roof in the extension direction, so that the valance arranged on the extension profile can be extended vertically downwards when the extension profile is fully extended.

Bei der Terrassenüberdachung kann es sich um eine zu einer oder mehreren Seiten offene Terrassenüberdachung oder auch um einen Wintergarten handeln. Der Begriff der Ausfahrrichtung bezieht sich dabei auf das Ausfahrprofil. Das Ausfahrprofil befindet sich bei vollständig aufgewickeltem Tuch dementsprechend hinten, also an den hinteren Enden der in Ausfahrrichtung verlaufenden Führungsschienen. Bei vollständig abgewickeltem Tuch ist das Ausfahrprofil entlang der Führungsschienen in Ausfahrrichtung maximal nach vorne verfahren und befindet sich somit am vorderen Ende der Führungsschienen. Erfindungsgemäß ist es bei der Terrassenüberdachung vorgesehen, dass die Markise die Terrassenüberdachung in Ausfahrrichtung überragt. Hierdurch ist es gewährleistet, dass der im oder am Ausfahrprofil angeordnete Volant vor der Terrassenüberdachung frei nach unten ausfahrbar ist, ohne mit der Terrassenüberdachung zu kollidieren.The patio canopy can be a patio canopy open on one or more sides or a conservatory. The term "extension direction" refers to the exit profile. When the cover is completely rolled up, the extension profile is accordingly at the rear, ie at the rear ends of the guide rails running in the extension direction. When the cover is completely unwound, the extension profile is moved forward along the guide rails in the extension direction as far as possible and is therefore located at the front end of the guide rails. According to the invention, it is provided in the case of the patio roof that the awning protrudes beyond the patio roof in the extension direction. This ensures that the valance arranged in or on the extension profile in front of the patio canopy can be freely extended downwards without colliding with the patio canopy.

Vorzugsweise überragen die Führungsschienen die Terrassenüberdachung in der Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofils. Alternativ oder kumulativ sind die Führungsschienen in Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofils teleskopierbar und überragen bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil die Terrassenüberdachung in der Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofils.The guide rails preferably protrude beyond the patio roof in the extension direction of the extension profile. Alternatively or cumulatively, the guide rails can be telescoped in the extension direction of the extension profile and protrude beyond the terrace roofing in the extension direction of the extension profile when the extension profile is fully extended.

Es können somit die Führungsschienen länger ausgeführt sein, als es der Erstreckung des Terrassendaches in Ausfahrrichtung des Ausfahrprofiles entspricht. Alternativ oder kumulativ können die Führungsschienen teleskopierbar sein, sodass bei Erreichen des Endbereiches des Terrassendaches die Führungsschienen teleskopartig ausgefahren werden, sodass die Enden der Führungsschienen das Terrassendach in Ausfahrrichtung überragen. Hierdurch kann der Volant sodann vor dem Terrassendach senkrecht nach unten ausgefahren werden und Schutz gegen schräg einfallendes Sonnenlicht bieten.The guide rails can thus be made longer than corresponds to the extension of the patio roof in the extension direction of the extension profile. Alternatively or cumulatively, the guide rails can be telescopic, so that when the end area of the patio roof is reached, the guide rails are extended telescopically, so that the ends of the guide rails protrude beyond the patio roof in the extension direction. In this way, the valance can then be extended vertically downwards in front of the patio roof and provide protection against slanting sunlight.

Besonders vorteilhaft bei dem Verfahren zur Ansteuerung einer erfindungsgemäßen Markise ist es, dass ein Ausfahren des Volants nur bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil ermöglicht ist und ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils nur bei vollständig eingefahrenem Volant ermöglicht ist.Particularly advantageous in the method for controlling an awning according to the invention is that the valance can only be extended when the extension profile is fully extended and the extension profile can only be retracted when the valance is fully retracted.

Dabei erfolgt bei Erhalt eines Steuerungsbefehls zum Ausfahren des Volants zunächst eine Überprüfung mittels der Steuerungseinheit ob das Ausfahrprofil vollständig ausgefahren ist, insbesondere dass vor dem Ausfahren des Volants aufgrund des Steuerungsbefehls ein vollständiges Ausfahren des Ausfahrprofils erfolgt. Ferner erfolgt bei Erhalt eines Steuerungsbefehls zum Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils zunächst eine Überprüfung mittels der Steuerungseinheit ob der Volant vollständig eingefahren ist, insbesondere dass vor dem Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils aufgrund des Steuerungsbefehls ein Einfahren des Volants erfolgt.When a control command to extend the valance is received, the control unit first checks whether the extension profile is fully extended, in particular that the extension profile is fully extended before the valance is extended due to the control command. Furthermore, when a control command for retracting the extension profile is received, the control unit first checks whether the valance is completely retracted, in particular that the valance is retracted before the extension profile is retracted due to the control command.

Mittels einer derartigen intelligenten Steuerung wird es gewährleistet, dass ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils nur bei eingefahrenem Volant möglich ist und/oder ein Ausfahren des Volants nur bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil möglich ist. Hierdurch wird es verhindert, dass der Volant an einer Stelle ausgefahren wird, an welcher er sich noch oberhalb einer Überdachung oder dergleichen befindet. Ferner wird eine Beschädigung des Volants zuverlässig verhindert, wenn ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils nur dann möglich ist, wenn der Volant eingefahren ist, also ein ausgefahrener Volant zuvor eingefahren wurde. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Figuren dargestellt und wird nachfolgend erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
Eine Seitenansicht eines Wintergartens mit Wintergartenmarkise und eingefahrenem Volant;

Figur 3
eine Seitenansicht des Wintergartens mit Wintergartenmarkise und ausgefahrenem Volant;
Figur 4
eine perspektivische Ansicht des Wintergartens mit Wintergartenmarkise und ausgefahrenem Volant.
Such an intelligent control ensures that the extension profile can only be retracted when the valance is retracted and/or the valance can only be extended when the extension profile is fully extended. This prevents the valance from being extended at a point where it is still above a canopy or the like. Furthermore, damage to the valance is reliably prevented if retraction of the extension profile is only possible when the valance is retracted, ie an extended valance has previously been retracted. An embodiment of the invention is shown in the figures and is explained below. Show it:

Die Figuren sind nicht maßstabsgerecht dargestellt. Identische Bauteile sind mit identischen Bezugszeichen versehen.The figures are not drawn to scale. Identical components are provided with identical reference numbers.

In den Figuren 1 bis 4 ist ein Wintergarten 1 mit einer oberhalb des Daches des Wintergartens 1 angeordneten Wintergartenmarkise 2 dargestellt. Der Wintergarten wird durch die Pfosten 10, die Dachträger 11 und die Querträger 12 gebildet. Die Wände des Wintergartens 1 und das Dach des Wintergartens 1 sind jeweils verglast. Oberhalb der Dachsparren 11 ist eine Wintergartenmarkise 2 angeordnet.In the Figures 1 to 4 a conservatory 1 with a conservatory awning 2 arranged above the roof of the conservatory 1 is shown. The conservatory is formed by the post 10, the roof support 11 and the cross member 12. The walls of conservatory 1 and the roof of conservatory 1 are each glazed. Above the rafters 11 a conservatory awning 2 is arranged.

Am hinteren Ende der Führungsschienen 22 ist ein Gehäuse angeordnet, in welchem eine Tuchwelle drehbar gelagert ist. Der Begriff des hinteren Endes bezieht sich dabei auf die Ausfahrrichtung, die durch den Pfeil A gekennzeichnet ist. Von der Tuchwelle ist ein Tuch abwickelbar, indem das Ausfahrprofil 24 in Ausfahrrichtung A entlang der Führungsschienen 22 verfahren wird. Hierzu verfügt die Wintergartenmarkise über entsprechende Antriebsmittel, mittels derer das Ausfahrprofil 24 in Ausfahrrichtung A oder entgegen der Ausfahrrichtung A verfahren wird. Das Ausfahrprofil 24 ist an den zu beiden Seiten des Tuches 27 angeordneten und sich in der Ausfahrrichtung A erstreckenden Führungsschienen 22 verfahrbar gelagert.A housing is arranged at the rear end of the guide rails 22, in which a roller tube is rotatably mounted. The concept of the rear end refers to the extension direction, which is indicated by the arrow A. A cloth can be unwound from the roller tube by moving the extension profile 24 in the direction A along the guide rails 22 . For this purpose, the conservatory awning has appropriate drive means, by means of which the extension profile 24 is moved in the extension direction A or counter to the extension direction A. The extension profile 24 is movably mounted on the guide rails 22 which are arranged on both sides of the cloth 27 and extend in the extension direction A.

Die Führungsschienen 22 sind mittels Stützfüßen 23 an den Dachsparren 11 des Wintergartens 1 befestigt. In Ausfahrrichtung A überragen die Führungsschienen 22 der Wintergartenmarkise 2 das Dach des Wintergartens 1.The guide rails 22 are attached to the rafters 11 of the conservatory 1 by means of support feet 23 . In the extension direction A, the guide rails 22 of the conservatory awning 2 protrude beyond the roof of the conservatory 1.

Sobald das Ausfahrprofil 24 vollständig ausgefahren ist, kann ein Volant 25 vor der Vorderseite des Wintergartens 1 nach unten ausgefahren werden.Once the Ausfahrprofil 24 is fully extended, a valance 25 can be extended in front of the front of the conservatory 1 down.

In dem Ausfahrprofil 24 ist eine Volantwelle aufgenommen und drehbar gelagert, sodass ein Volant 25 von der Volantwelle abwickelbar und nach unten ausfahrbar ist. Am freien Ende des Volants 25 ist ein Abschlussprofil 26 angeordnet. Durch den in Richtung des Pfeiles B nach unten ausgefahrenen Volant 25 wird der Wintergarten nicht nur gegen die Sonnenstrahlung von der Oberseite her beschattet, sondern auch gegen schräg von auf die Vorderseite des Wintergartens 1 einfallendes Sonnenlicht.A valance shaft is accommodated and rotatably mounted in the extension profile 24, so that a valance 25 can be unwound from the valance shaft and extended downwards. At the free end of the valance 25 an end profile 26 is arranged. Due to the valance 25 extended downwards in the direction of arrow B, the conservatory is not only shaded from the sun's rays from above, but also against sunlight incident at an angle on the front side of the conservatory 1 .

Das vordere Tuchende des Volants 25 hängt frei nach unten und ist durch Betätigung, d.h. Drehung der Volantwelle nach unten ausfahrbar. Die Volantwelle hat an ihrem Ende nicht dargestellte Wellenzapfen, mit denen sie in Gleitsteinen drehbar gelagert ist. Die Gleitsteine wiederum sind in Kulissenführungen von Lagerträgern derart gelagert, dass sie sich unabhängig voneinander in Richtung des Pfeiles B in Richtung auf eine Stützfläche innerhalb des Ausfahrprofils 24 in Ausfahrrichtung B des Volants 25 vor- und zurückbewegen können, d. h. dass der Volantwickelballen unabhängig von seiner sich in Abhängigkeit der Ausfahrweite des Volants ändernden Durchmessers stets an der Stützfläche anliegt und die Stützfläche somit einer Durchbiegung der Volantwelle mit dem Volantwickelballen entgegenwirkt.The front cloth end of the valance 25 hangs freely downwards and can be extended downwards by actuating, i.e. rotating the valance shaft. At its end, the valance shaft has shaft journals, not shown, with which it is rotatably mounted in sliding blocks. The sliding blocks, in turn, are mounted in slotted guides of bearing supports in such a way that they can move back and forth independently of one another in the direction of arrow B in the direction of a support surface within the extension profile 24 in the extension direction B of the valance 25, i. H. that the valance roll always bears against the support surface, regardless of its diameter, which changes as a function of the extent to which the valance is extended, and the support surface thus counteracts a deflection of the valance shaft with the valance roll.

Die Stützfläche weist eine teilzylindrische Fläche auf, die zum Volantwickelballen hin gerichtet ist und deren Durchmesser in etwa dem Durchmesser des Volantwickelballens in voll aufgewickeltem Zustand entspricht. Auf der Innenseite der Stützfläche, d. h. auf der Stützfläche in Richtung des Volantwickelballens, weist die Stützvorrichtung mehrere jeweils in Nuten einliegende reibungsmindernde Einlagen auf. Durch die Anordnung der reibungsmindernden Einlagen wird der Volantwickelballen gegen die in Richtung des Pfeiles B gerichtete Schwerkraft abgestützt und gewährleistet ein leichtgängiges Gleiten des Volantwickelballens auf der Stützfläche innerhalb des die Volantwelle aufnehmenden Ausfahrprofils 24 und verhindert eine Durchbiegung der Volantwelle.The support surface has a part-cylindrical surface which faces towards the valance roll and the diameter of which corresponds approximately to the diameter of the valance roll when fully wound up. On the inside of the support surface, i. H. on the support surface in the direction of the roll of valance, the support device has a plurality of friction-reducing inserts each lying in grooves. The arrangement of the friction-reducing inserts supports the roll of valance against the force of gravity directed in the direction of arrow B and ensures smooth sliding of the roll of valance on the support surface within the extension profile 24 receiving the valance shaft and prevents the valance shaft from bending.

Sofern sich der Durchmesser des Volantwickelballens ändert, dadurch dass der Volant senkrecht nach unten in Richtung des Pfeiles B ausgefahren wird, verlagert sich die Volantwickelwelle in den seitlichen Lagern dementsprechend senkrecht nach unten, so dass der Volantwickelballen stets auf der Stützfläche aufliegt und von dieser abgestützt wird. Durch die Anordnung einer Stützfläche und die schwimmende Lagerung der Volantwelle in Gleitsteinen, die in Kulissenführungen gleiten, wird somit eine Durchbiegung der Volantwelle mit dem Wickelballen zuverlässig verhindert.If the diameter of the valance roll changes because the valance is extended vertically downwards in the direction of arrow B, the valance winding shaft is accordingly shifted vertically downwards in the lateral bearings, so that the valance winding bale always rests on the support surface and is supported by it. The arrangement of a support surface and the floating mounting of the valance shaft in sliding blocks that slide in link guides reliably prevent the valance shaft from bending with the roll.

Dabei werden die Tuchwelle mittels eines Tuchwellenmotors und die Volantwelle mittels eines Volantwellenmotors elektromotorisch angetrieben, wobei der Tuchwellenmotor und der Volantwellenmotor von einer Steuerungseinheit betätigt werden, die derart eingerichtet ist, dass ein Ausfahren des Volants 25 nur bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil 24 ermöglicht ist und ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils 24 nur bei vollständig eingefahrenem Volant 25 ermöglicht ist.The fabric shaft is driven by a fabric shaft motor and the valance shaft is driven by an electric motor by means of a valance shaft motor, with the fabric shaft motor and the valance shaft motor being actuated by a control unit that is set up in such a way that the valance 25 can only be extended and retracted when the extension profile 24 is fully extended of the extension profile 24 is only possible when the valance 25 is fully retracted.

Es sind somit sowohl die Tuchwelle als auch die die Volantwelle jeweils mittels eines durch eine Fernbedienung betätigbaren Elektromotors angetrieben. Bei Erhalt eines Steuerungsbefehls zum Ausfahren des Volants 25 erfolgt mittels der Steuerung zunächst eine Überprüfung, ob das Ausfahrprofil 24 vollständig ausgefahren ist. Hierzu verfügt die Wintergartenmarkise 2 über Endlagendetektionen sowohl zur Detektion der Position "vollständig eingefahren" des Ausfahrprofils 24 als auch zur Detektion der Position "vollständig ausgefahren" des Ausfahrprofils 24.Thus, both the cloth shaft and the valance shaft are each driven by means of an electric motor that can be actuated by a remote control. When a control command for extending the valance 25 is received, the controller first checks whether the extension profile 24 is completely extended. For this purpose, the conservatory awning 2 has end position detection both for detecting the "fully retracted" position of the extension profile 24 and for detecting the "fully extended" position of the extension profile 24.

Ferner verfügt die Wintergartenmarkise 2 gleichermaßen über Endlagendetektionen sowohl zur Detektion der Position "vollständig eingefahren" des Volants 25 als auch zur Detektion der Position "vollständig ausgefahren" des Volants 25. Durch die Endlagendetektion kann somit jederzeit festgestellt werden, ob das Ausfahrprofil 24 vollständig eingefahren oder vollständig ausgefahren oder in einer Zwischenposition ist. Gleiches gilt für den Volant 25. Auch hier kann mittels der Endlagendetektion jederzeit festgestellt werden, ob der Volant 25 vollständig eingefahren oder vollständig ausgefahren oder in einer Zwischenposition ist.Furthermore, the conservatory awning 2 also has end position detection both for detecting the "fully retracted" position of the valance 25 and for detecting the "fully extended" position of the valance 25. The end position detection can thus be used to determine at any time whether the extension profile 24 is fully retracted or not fully extended or in an intermediate position. The same applies to the valance 25. Here, too, it can be determined at any time by means of the end position detection whether the valance 25 is fully retracted or fully extended or in an intermediate position.

Mittels der intelligenten Steuerung wird es gewährleistet, dass ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils 24 nur bei eingefahrenem Volant 25 möglich ist und dass ein Ausfahren des Volants 25 nur bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil 24 möglich ist. Hierdurch wird es verhindert, dass der Volant 25 an einer Stelle ausgefahren wird, an welcher er sich noch oberhalb des Daches des Wintergartens 1 befindet. Ferner wird eine Beschädigung des Volants 25 zuverlässig verhindert, da ein Einfahren des Ausfahrprofils 24 nur dann möglich ist, wenn der Volant 25 vollständig eingefahren ist, also ein ausgefahrener Volant 25 zuvor eingefahren wurde.The intelligent control ensures that the extension profile 24 can only be retracted when the valance 25 is retracted and that the valance 25 can only be extended when the extension profile 24 is fully extended. This prevents the valance 25 from being extended at a point where it is still above the roof of the conservatory 1 . Furthermore, damage to the valance 25 is reliably prevented since retraction of the extension profile 24 is only possible when the valance 25 is completely retracted, ie an extended valance 25 has previously been retracted.

Der Erhalt eines entsprechenden Steuerungsbefehls führt somit zunächst zu einer Überprüfung der aktuellen Position von Ausfahrprofil 24 und/oder Volant 25. Soll das Ausfahrprofil 24 entsprechend eines Steuerungsbefehls eingefahren werden, erfolgt zunächst eine Überprüfung und gegebenenfalls automatisch ein Einfahren des Volants 25. Soll der Volant 25 entsprechend eines Steuerungsbefehls ausgefahren werden, erfolgt zunächst eine Überprüfung der aktuellen Position des Ausfahrprofils 24 und gegebenenfalls automatisch ein vollständiges Ausfahren des Ausfahrprofils 24.The receipt of a corresponding control command thus initially leads to a check of the current position of extension profile 24 and/or valance 25. If the extension profile 24 is to be retracted in accordance with a control command, a check is carried out first and, if necessary, the valance 25 is automatically retracted. If the valance 25 are extended in accordance with a control command, the current position of the extension profile 24 is first checked and, if necessary, the extension profile 24 is automatically fully extended.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Wintergartenmarkise 2 oberhalb eines Wintergartens 1 angeordnet. Alternativ kann die erfindungsgemäße Wintergartenmarkise 2 oberhalb einer Terrassenüberdachung mit einer oder mehrerer offener Seiten angeordnet sein. Oftmals wird eine solche Terrassenüberdachung einseitig an einer Hauswand oder in einem Rücksprung in einer Hauswand angeordnet und überragt von der Hauswand ausgehend eine Terrasse. In diesem Fall ist der Anschlussbereich an die Hauswand als hinteres Ende der Terrassenüberdachung zu bezeichnen. Am gegenüberliegenden freien Ende, welches somit das vordere Ende der Terrassenüberdachung bildet, überragt dementsprechend die Wintergartenmarkise 2 die Terrassenüberdachung, sodass der Volant 25 bei vollständig ausgefahrenem Ausfahrprofil 24 vor der Terrassenüberdachung senkrecht nach unten ausfahrbar ist und einen Sichtschutz und/oder Sonnenschutz gegen das von vorne schräg einfallende Sonnenlicht bildet.In the illustrated embodiment, the conservatory awning 2 is arranged above a conservatory 1. Alternatively, the conservatory awning 2 according to the invention can be arranged above a patio roof with one or more open sides. Such a terrace roofing is often arranged on one side of a house wall or in a recess in a house wall and protrudes from the house wall over a terrace. In this case, the connection area to the house wall is to be described as the rear end of the patio roof. At the opposite free end, which thus forms the front end of the patio roof, the conservatory awning 2 protrudes over the patio roof, so that the valance 25 can be extended vertically downwards in front of the patio roof when the extension profile 24 is fully extended and provides privacy and/or sun protection from the front obliquely incident sunlight forms.
