Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Senkrechtmarkise und eine hierfür geeignete Wickelwellenanordnung.The invention relates to a vertical awning and a winding shaft arrangement suitable for this.

Gattungsgemäße Senkrechtmarkisen weisen eine in einem Einbauraum, in aller Regel einem Markisenkasten, angeordnete Wickelwellenanordnung auf, mit einer drehbar gelagerten Wickelwelle, auf der ein Markisentuch aufgenommen ist. Der Einbauraum beziehungsweise Markisenkasten umgibt die Wickelwelle dabei mehrseitig und hat an seiner Unterseite eine Tuchauslassöffnung, durch die das Markisentuch aus dem Einbauraum heraus geführt ist. Das Markisentuch ist mit seinem einen Ende an der Wickelwelle befestigt, beispielsweise mit einem Tuchkeder oder dergleichen, wobei an dem anderen, unteren Ende des Markisentuchs ein über zumindest eine Breitseite der Tuchauslassöffnung auskragender Fallstab befestigt ist. Der Fallstab zieht dabei das Markisentuch nach unten und hält es somit durch sein Gewicht auf Spannung. Zudem weisen gattungsgemäße Senkrechtmarkisen häufig Seitenführungsschienen auf, in denen das Markisentuch entlang seiner Seitenränder geführt ist, beispielsweise über in den Seitenführungsschienen angeordnete Inlets, in die Randwülste des Markisentuchs eingefädelt sind.Generic vertical awnings have a winding shaft arrangement arranged in an installation space, usually an awning box, with a rotatably mounted winding shaft on which an awning fabric is received. The installation space or awning box surrounds the winding shaft on several sides and has a fabric outlet opening on its underside through which the awning fabric is guided out of the installation space. One end of the awning fabric is attached to the winding shaft, for example with a fabric piping or the like, with a drop rod protruding over at least one broad side of the fabric outlet opening being attached to the other, lower end of the awning fabric. The drop rod pulls the awning fabric down and keeps it under tension with its weight. In addition, generic vertical awnings often have side guide rails in which the awning fabric is guided along its side edges, for example via inlets arranged in the side guide rails, into which the edge beads of the awning fabric are threaded.

Da sich die Lage des abgewickelten Markisentuchs in Normalrichtung zur Tuchoberfläche aber je nach Dicke des noch auf der Wickelwelle befindlichen Ballens, also dem noch nicht abgewickelten Anteil des Markisentuchs, ändern würde, was der Seitenführung des Tuchs nicht bekommen würde, weisen gattungsgemäße Senkrechtmarkisen ein sich entlang der Tuchauslassöffnung erstreckendes Tuchleitprofil auf, welches einen Vorsprung beziehungsweise einen im Querschnitt etwa nasenförmigen Profilabschnitt aufweist, der sich zum Markisentuch hin erstreckt und an dem das Markisentuch aus einer durch den Außenumfang des durch die Wickelwelle und den aufgewickelten Teil des Markisentuchs gebildeten Ballens verlaufenden senkrechten Ebene in eine durch die Tuchauslassöffnung verlaufende senkrechte Ebene umgelenkt wird.Since the position of the unwound awning fabric in the normal direction to the fabric surface would change depending on the thickness of the bale still on the winding shaft, i.e. the portion of the awning fabric that has not yet been unwound, which the lateral guide of the fabric would not get, generic vertical awnings point along the fabric outlet opening extending fabric guide profile, which has a projection or a profile section approximately nose-shaped in cross section, which extends towards the awning fabric and on which the awning fabric consists of a vertical plane extending through the outer circumference of the bale formed by the winding shaft and the wound part of the awning fabric in one through the cloth outlet extending vertical plane is deflected.

Dabei entsteht das Problem, dass es aufgrund der Reibung des Markisentuchs am Tuchleitprofil zu einer hohen elektrostatischen Aufladung kommen kann. Denn dieser Aufbau stellt eine Art physikalischen "Bandgenerator" dar, wobei sich die elektrostatische Aufladung dann über das Markisentuch auf die Wickelwelle überträgt und dort sammelt. Dieses Problem verschärft sich insbesondere dann, wenn die Senkrechtmarkise über einen als in die Wickelwelle eingeschobenen Rohrmotor ausgebildeten elektrischen Antrieb angetrieben wird. Beim Überschlagen der elektrostatischen Aufladung von der Wickelwelle auf den Rohrmotor kann es zu Fehlfunktionen der Motorelektronik kommen, die von einem Verstellen der eingestellten Endlagen, einem Verlust der Funksender-Programmierung bis zum Komplettausfall des Elektromotors reichen.The problem arises that the friction between the awning fabric and the fabric guide profile can lead to a high level of electrostatic charge. Because this structure represents a kind of physical "band generator", whereby the electrostatic charge is then transferred via the awning fabric to the winding shaft and collects there. This problem is exacerbated in particular when the vertical awning is driven by an electric drive designed as a tubular motor pushed into the winding shaft. If the electrostatic charge crosses over from the winding shaft to the tubular motor, the motor electronics may malfunction, ranging from adjusting the set end positions, losing the radio transmitter programming to complete failure of the electric motor.

Bekannte Lösungen für dieses Problem sehen dabei am Behang angreifende Elemente vor, über die die elektrostatische Aufladung abgeleitet werden kann, so beispielsweise gemäß der deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 3316263 A1 Bürsten, gemäß der US-Patentanmeldung US 2009/250,177 A1 Abstreifer am Behang oder gemäß dem europäischen Patent EP 1 748 891 B1 eine Bürstendichtung gegen elektrostatische Aufladung. Diese Lösungsansätze sind jedoch aufgrund Reibung und Witterungseinflüssen fehleranfällig.Known solutions to this problem provide elements which act on the curtain and via which the electrostatic charge can be diverted, for example according to the German patent application DE 3316263 A1 Brushes, according to the US patent application US 2009 / 250,177 A1 Wiper on the curtain or according to the European patent EP 1 748 891 B1 a brush seal against electrostatic charge. However, these solutions are prone to errors due to friction and the effects of the weather.

Daher zeigen andere Lösungsansätze eine Schutzeinhausung für die Motorsteuerplatine oder den gesamten Motor. Gemäß der US 2017/006,740 A1 ist die Motorsteuerplatine in einer isolierten Tasche am Kastenseitenteil aufgenommen, um so vor elektrostatischer Entladung geschützt zu sein. Gemäß der US-Patentanmeldung US 2018/202,228 A1 ist dagegen eine Hülse aus Kunststoff vorgesehen, die den Motor einhaust und dadurch gegen ein Überspringen der elektrostatischen Aufladung von der Wickelwelle schützen soll.Therefore, other approaches show a protective housing for the motor control board or the entire motor. According to the US 2017 / 006,740 A1 the motor control board is accommodated in an insulated pocket on the side part of the box in order to be protected from electrostatic discharge. According to the US patent application US 2018 / 202,228 A1 on the other hand, a sleeve made of plastic is provided, which houses the motor and is intended to protect against the electrostatic charge from jumping over from the winding shaft.

Ob damit das Überspringen der elektrostatischen Aufladung von der Wickelwelle auf die Motorsteuerplatine in jedem Fall verhindert werden kann, ist jedoch fraglich.However, it is questionable whether this prevents the electrostatic charge from jumping over from the winding shaft to the motor control board.

Ein anderer Weg wird in der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 3 288 054 A1 vorgeschlagen. Diese Anmeldung betrifft einen Rohrmotor, der Mittel zum Abführen von elektrostatischer Ladung aufweist, wobei die elektrostatische Aufladung von der Wickelwelle über den Rotor des Elektromotors auf die Steuerplatine des Elektromotors innerhalb des Rohrmotorgehäuses geleitet wird, und von dort über das Anschlusskabel des Rohrmotors abgeführt wird. Allerdings ist die Steuerplatine des Elektromotors genau das Bauteil, das vor einem Überschlag der elektrostatischen Aufladung geschützt werden soll.Another way is in the European patent application EP 3 288 054 A1 suggested. This application relates to a tubular motor which has means for discharging electrostatic charge, the electrostatic charge being conducted from the winding shaft via the rotor of the electric motor to the control board of the electric motor within the tubular motor housing, and from there being discharged via the connecting cable of the tubular motor. However, the control board of the electric motor is precisely the component that is to be protected from a flashover of the electrostatic charge.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Senkrechtmarkise beziehungsweise eine hierfür geeignete Wickelwellenanordnung so weiterzubilden, dass die elektrostatische Aufladung zuverlässig und auf technisch einfache und kostengünstige Weise abgeleitet werden kann, ohne Schäden am Rohrmotor zu verursachen.Starting from this, it is the object of the present invention to develop a vertical awning or a winding shaft arrangement suitable for this in such a way that the electrostatic charge can be discharged reliably and in a technically simple and inexpensive manner without causing damage to the tubular motor.

Diese Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich der Wickelwellenanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, hinsichtlich der Senkrechtmarkise mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13.This object is achieved with regard to the winding shaft arrangement with the features of claim 1, with regard to the vertical awning with the features of claim 13.

Die erfindungsgemäße Senkrechtmarkise weist eine zwischen zwei Seitenteilen drehbar abstützbare Wickelwelle zur Aufnahme des Markisentuchs auf, wobei die Wickelwelle über einen Lagerzapfen oder dergleichen an ihrem einen Ende und einen elektrischen Antrieb an ihrem anderen Ende an den Seitenteilen abstützbar ist und als Hohlwelle ausgebildet ist, wobei der elektrische Antrieb als in die Wickelwelle eingeschobener Rohrmotor, insbesondere ein Asynchronmotor, einen drehfest am zugeordneten Seitenteil anbringbaren stehenden Abschnitt und einen von innen an der Wickelwelle angreifenden, mit der Wickelwelle mitdrehenden Rotationsabschnitt aufweist. Hierbei ist nun ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen, welches den stehenden Abschnitt des Rohrmotors mit der drehenden Wickelwelle elektrisch leitend verbindet, wobei der stehende Abschnitt eine Anschlussmöglichkeit zum Anschließen einer Erdungsleitung aufweist, so dass eine elektrostatische Aufladung von der Wickelwelle über den stehenden Abschnitt und die Erdungsleitung ableitbar ist. Weiterhin erfindungsgemäß ist das Verbindungselement mitdrehend und elektrisch leitend befestigt und steht mit dem stehenden Abschnitt des Rohrmotors elektrisch leitend in Gleitkontakt. Denn aufgrund der Profilierung der Wickelwelle lässt sich dies relativ leicht umsetzen.The vertical awning according to the invention has a winding shaft that can be rotatably supported between two side parts for receiving the awning fabric, the winding shaft being supported on the side parts via a bearing pin or the like at its one end and an electric drive at its other end and being designed as a hollow shaft, the electrical drive as a tubular motor pushed into the winding shaft, in particular an asynchronous motor, a stationary section that can be attached non-rotatably to the associated side part and a rotating section that engages the winding shaft from inside and rotates with the winding shaft. Here, a connecting element is now provided which connects the stationary section of the tubular motor with the rotating winding shaft in an electrically conductive manner, the stationary section being a Has connection option for connecting a grounding line, so that an electrostatic charge can be diverted from the winding shaft via the standing section and the grounding line. Furthermore, according to the invention, the connecting element is attached in a rotating and electrically conductive manner and is in electrically conductive sliding contact with the stationary section of the tubular motor. Because of the profiling of the winding shaft, this can be implemented relatively easily.

Derartige elektrisch leitende Verbindungen zwischen der drehenden Wickelwelle und dem stehenden Abschnitt können beispielsweise über entsprechende metallische Schleifkontakte oder Bürsten, zum Beispiel Kohlebürsten, hergestellt werden. Bevorzugt ist jedoch ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen, das einen Faserpinsel mit elektrisch leitfähigen Pinselfasern aufweist, über welche der elektrisch leitende Pfad von der Wickelwelle zum stehenden Abschnitt des Rohrmotors führt.Such electrically conductive connections between the rotating winding shaft and the stationary section can be established, for example, via corresponding metallic sliding contacts or brushes, for example carbon brushes. However, a connection element is preferably provided which has a fiber brush with electrically conductive brush fibers, via which the electrically conductive path leads from the winding shaft to the stationary section of the tubular motor.

Alternativ oder ergänzend kann das Verbindungselement auch ein Schaumstoffelement aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Schaumstoff umfassen, zum Beispiel sogenannter ESD-Schaumstoff. Als geeignetes Fasermaterial hat sich dabei PA 6, also Polyamid 6, beziehungsweise Polycaprolactam beziehungsweise Perlon erwiesen. ESD-Schaumstoff ist dabei eine Sammelbezeichnung für Schaumstoffe, die elektrostatisch leitfähig sind (electrostatic discharge, kurz ESD).As an alternative or in addition, the connecting element can also comprise a foam element made of an electrically conductive foam, for example so-called ESD foam. PA 6, that is to say polyamide 6, or polycaprolactam or Perlon, has proven to be a suitable fiber material. ESD foam is a collective term for foams that are electrostatically conductive (electrostatic discharge, ESD for short).

Auf diese Weise kann mit relativ einfachen Mitteln eine zuverlässige Ableitung einer etwaigen elektrostatischen Aufladung auf der Wickelwelle über einen am Stator angebrachten Erdleiter abgeführt werden, insbesondere über eine als Schutzleiter dienende Ader eines mehradrigen Kabels, über welches der Rohrmotor ansteuerbar und stromversorgbar ist, welche Ader mit dem Gehäuse des Rohrmotors verbunden ist, wohingegen die anderen Adern, in aller Regel zwei Steuerleitungen, sowie einmal Phase und einmal Nullleiter mit der Motorsteuerung verbunden sind. Das Kabel kann dabei einen Anschlussstecker aufweisen, um einen einfachen Einbau zu gewährleisten.In this way, a reliable dissipation of any electrostatic charge on the winding shaft can be dissipated with relatively simple means via an earth conductor attached to the stator, in particular via a core of a multi-core cable serving as a protective conductor, via which the tubular motor can be controlled and supplied with power, which core is connected to is connected to the housing of the tubular motor, whereas the other wires, usually two control lines, as well as one phase and one neutral wire are connected to the motor control. The cable can have a connector to ensure easy installation.

Besonders gut gegen Umgebungseinflüsse geschützt ist das Verbindungselement im Inneren der Wickelwelle, wo es auch recht einfach einen strom leitenden Pfad zwischen der Wickelwelle und dem stehenden Abschnitt des Elektromotors herstellen kann, wenn der stehende Abschnitt, wie bei Rohrmotoren üblich, ein Gehäuse mit einem rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitt aufweist, der aus Metall besteht und in die Wickelwelle eingeschoben ist, an dem das Verbindungselement elektrisch leitend angreifen kann. Dieser rohrförmige Gehäuseabschnitt ist dann selbstredend elektrisch leitend mit der am Gehäuse vorgesehenen Anschlussmöglichkeit zum Anschließen einer Erdungsleitung verbunden, beispielsweise einer Kabelklemme oder einer Kabelklemmschraube oder auch einem offenen Kabelende, beziehungsweise mit dem Erdleiter oder der als Schutzleiter dienenden Ader des Motoranschlusskabels.The connecting element inside the winding shaft is particularly well protected against environmental influences, where it can also quite easily create a current-conducting path between the winding shaft and the stationary section of the electric motor if the stationary section, as is common with tubular motors, has a housing with a tubular housing section which consists of metal and is inserted into the winding shaft, on which the connecting element can engage in an electrically conductive manner. This tubular housing section is then of course electrically conductively connected to the connection option provided on the housing for connecting a grounding line, for example a cable clamp or a cable clamping screw or an open cable end, or to the ground conductor or the wire of the motor connection cable serving as a protective conductor.

Vorteilhaft ist das Verbindungselement dabei insgesamt ringförmig, so dass der gesamte Außenumfang des Rohrmotorgehäuses und der gesamte Innenumfang der Wickelwelle zur Übertragung der elektrostatischen Aufladung zur Verfügung steht. Dabei muss das Verbindungselement nicht zwangsläufig aus einem Stück bestehen. Es wäre vielmehr denkbar, ein aus einzelnen Ringelementen zusammengesetztes, insgesamt aber ringförmig angeordnetes Verbindungselement vorzusehen.The connecting element is advantageously ring-shaped overall, so that the entire outer circumference of the tubular motor housing and the entire inner circumference of the winding shaft are available for transferring the electrostatic charge. The connecting element does not necessarily have to consist of one piece. Rather, it would be conceivable to provide a connecting element which is composed of individual ring elements but is arranged in an overall ring shape.

Zur Befestigung des Verbindungselements an der Wickelwelle kann ein an der Wickelwelle angebrachter Träger für das Verbindungselement vorgesehen sein, von dem das Verbindungselement an der Wickelwelle gehalten wird. Der Träger kann dabei aus einem isolierenden Material wie Kunststoff bestehen, um den elektrischen Pfad von der Wickelwelle durch das Verbindungselement hindurch zum Gehäuse des Rohrmotors klar abzugrenzen, wobei das Verbindungselement den Rohrmotor über seine in die Wickelwelle eingeschobene Länge auch vollständig oder zumindest weitgehend abdecken kann, um so eine zusätzliche Schirmung gegen einen unerwünschten Ladungsüberschlag außerhalb des definierten elektrischen Pfads zu bieten.To fasten the connecting element to the winding shaft, a carrier can be provided for the connecting element which is attached to the winding shaft and by which the connecting element is held on the winding shaft. The carrier can consist of an insulating material such as plastic in order to clearly delimit the electrical path from the winding shaft through the connecting element to the housing of the tubular motor, wherein the connecting element can also completely or at least largely cover the tubular motor over its length pushed into the winding shaft, in order to provide additional shielding against undesired charge flashover outside the defined electrical path.

Der Träger kann als eine einstückige oder aus mehreren Einzelteilen bestehende, in die Wickelwelle eingesteckte Trägerhülse ausgebildet sein und einen auf der Innenseite des Verbindungselements angeordneten Innenteil und einen auf der Außenseite des Verbindungselements angeordneten Außenteil aufweisen, um das Verbindungselement zu halten, also beispielsweise einen die Pinselfasern des Faserpinsels tragenden Faserträger oder einen Schaumstoffring aus ESD-Schaumstoff. Dabei kann der Innenteil und der Außenteil über das Verbindungselement durchdringende oder überbrückende Befestigungsmittel zusammengefügt sein und so das Verbindungselement einklemmen.The carrier can be designed as a one-piece or from several individual parts, inserted into the winding shaft and have an inner part arranged on the inside of the connecting element and an outer part arranged on the outside of the connecting element in order to hold the connecting element, for example one of the brush fibers of the fiber brush or a foam ring made of ESD foam. In this case, the inner part and the outer part can be joined together via fastening means penetrating or bridging the connecting element and thus clamping the connecting element.

Um zu verhindern, dass sich die Lage des abgewickelten Teils des Markisentuchs 4 in Normalrichtung zur durch das abgelassene Tuch 4 gebildeten senkrechten Ebene verändert, ist dabei ein Tuchleitprofil 6 vorgesehen, welches mit einer Tuchleitnase gegen das Markisentuch drückt und dieses in die gewünschte senkrechte Ebene leitet, in der sich dann auch die Seitenführungsschienen befinden, welche das Markisentuch 4 an seinen Randwülsten beziehungsweise an seinen Seitenrändern angebrachten Halbreißverschlüssen führen.Reference is first made to the Figure 1 , on the basis of which the problem of electrostatic charging on which the present invention is based is to be explained in more detail. 1 designates an installation space, designed here as a winding shaft box, in which a winding shaft 3 with an electric motor indicated by reference number 2 is received. An awning fabric 4 is received on the winding shaft 3, which is attached to the winding shaft 3 at one end and is connected to a drop rod 5 at the other end, and its lower end connected to the drop rod 5 is led out of a cloth outlet opening 7 of the awning box 1. The cloth 4 is in the in Figure 1 shown, completely wound position received as a bale on the winding shaft 3. In order to prevent the position of the unwound part of the awning fabric 4 from changing in the normal direction to the vertical plane formed by the drained fabric 4, a fabric guide profile 6 is provided, which presses with a fabric guide nose against the awning fabric and guides it into the desired vertical plane, in which are then also the side guide rails which guide the awning fabric 4 on its edge beads or half-zippers attached to its side edges.

Beim Auf- und Ablassen entsteht somit Reibung des Markisentuchs 4 am Tuchleitprofil 6, was wiederum die Entstehung einer elektrostatischen Aufladung, welche sich auf der Wickelwelle 3 sammelt, bewirkt.When the awning fabric 4 is opened and lowered, there is friction on the fabric guide profile 6, which in turn causes an electrostatic charge to develop, which collects on the winding shaft 3.

Bei den in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung wurden die in Bezug auf Figur 1 verwendeten Bezugszeichen beibehalten, da diese den prinzipiellen Aufbau von Senkrechtmarkisen, also auch der in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigten Senkrechtmarkisen betreffen.In the Figures 2 and 3 Embodiments of the invention shown were those with respect to FIG Figure 1 Maintain the reference numerals used, since these the basic structure of vertical awnings, so also in the Figures 2 and 3 refer to vertical awnings shown.

Die Figur 2 zeigt somit eine Senkrechtmarkise mit einem in die Wickelwelle 3 eingeschobenen Rohrmotor 2, welcher einen Rotationsabschnitt 8 zum Angriff an der Wickelwelle 3 von innen und einen stehenden Abschnitt 9, 10 zur drehfesten Befestigung an einem Kastenseitenteil 11 aufweist. Der stehende Abschnitt 9, 10 hat dabei einen rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitt 10 aus Metall, der sich im Inneren der Wickelwelle 3 befindet und eine am Seitenteil 11 angebrachte Stütze 9. Zwischen dem stehenden Abschnitt 9, 10 und insbesondere seinem rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitt 10 einerseits und der Wickelwelle 3 andererseits befindet sich dabei ein in den Ringspalt zwischen der Wickelwelle 3 und dem rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitt 10 eingeschobener Träger 13, 15, welcher ein als ringförmiger Faserpinsel ausgebildetes Verbindungselement 12, 14 trägt und sich über nicht näher bezeichnete Leisten am Kragen der Stütze 9 abstützt und somit zusammen mit dem Rohrmotor 2 in die Wickelwelle 3 eingesteckt werden kann.The Figure 2 thus shows a vertical awning with a tubular motor 2 pushed into the winding shaft 3, which has a rotation section 8 for engaging the winding shaft 3 from the inside and a standing section 9, 10 for non-rotatable attachment to a box side part 11. The standing section 9, 10 has a tubular housing section 10 made of metal, which is located inside the winding shaft 3 and a support 9 attached to the side part 11. Between the standing section 9, 10 and in particular its tubular housing section 10 on the one hand and the winding shaft 3 on the other hand, there is a carrier 13, 15 pushed into the annular gap between the winding shaft 3 and the tubular housing section 10, which carries a connecting element 12, 14 designed as an annular fiber brush and is supported on the collar of the support 9 via strips (not specifically designated) and thus together can be inserted into the winding shaft 3 with the tubular motor 2.

Das als Faserpinsel ausgebildete Verbindungselement 12, 14 weist dabei einen ringförmigen Faserträger 12 auf, welcher PA-6-Fasern 14 trägt, die am Außenumfang des rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitts 10 anliegen, wobei der Faserträger 12 jedoch über den Träger 13, 15 in drehfester Verbindung mit der Wickelwelle 3 gehalten wird. Der Träger 13, 15 weist dabei einen Innenteil 15 und einen Außenteil 13 auf, zwischen denen der Faserpinsel aufgenommen ist und die den Faserpinsel in Position halten.The connecting element 12, 14 designed as a fiber brush has an annular fiber carrier 12 which carries PA-6 fibers 14 which are attached to the The outer circumference of the tubular housing section 10 is in contact, the fiber carrier 12, however, being held in a rotationally fixed connection with the winding shaft 3 via the carrier 13, 15. The carrier 13, 15 has an inner part 15 and an outer part 13, between which the fiber brush is received and which hold the fiber brush in position.

Die in der Figur 3 gezeigte Ausführungsform der Erfindung entspricht weitgehend der in der Figur 2 gezeigten, wobei jedoch als Verbindungselement 32 anstatt eines Faserpinsels ein Ring aus ESD-Schaumstoff vorgesehen ist. Der Träger 33, 35 beziehungsweise dessen Innenteil 35 und Außenteil 33 sind entsprechend angepasst, um das Verbindungselement 32 mitdrehend an der Wickelwelle 3 und in Kontakt mit der Wickelwelleninnenumfangsoberfläche zu halten und bei einer Drehbewegung der Wickelwelle 3 auf dem Außenumfang des rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitts 10 abgleiten zu lassen.The one in the Figure 3 The embodiment of the invention shown largely corresponds to that in FIG Figure 2 shown, but instead of a fiber brush, a ring made of ESD foam is provided as the connecting element 32. The carrier 33, 35 or its inner part 35 and outer part 33 are adapted accordingly in order to keep the connecting element 32 rotating at the same time on the winding shaft 3 and in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the winding shaft and to allow it to slide on the outer periphery of the tubular housing section 10 when the winding shaft 3 rotates .

Abwandlungen und Modifikationen der gezeigten Ausführungsformen sind möglich, ohne den Rahmen der Offenbarung zu verlassen.Variations and modifications of the embodiments shown are possible without departing from the scope of the disclosure.

So wäre es beispielsweise denkbar, anstatt eines ringförmigen Verbindungselements ein sich entlang des rohrförmigen Gehäuseabschnitts erstreckendes, längliches Verbindungselement vorzusehen, beispielsweise in Form einer Bürste.For example, instead of an annular connecting element, it would be conceivable to provide an elongated connecting element extending along the tubular housing section, for example in the form of a brush.
