Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for tensioning a cord of a shading system, in particular a pleated blind or (roman) blind, with a passage for the cord that can be arranged on the shading system and with a spring element, one end of which has deflection means for the cord and the other end of which has fastening means for Attach to the shading system are assigned.
  • the invention also relates to a method for assembling a shading system, in particular a pleated blind or (roman) blind, with the step of assembling such a device for tensioning a cord.
  • the cords of a shading system in particular a pleated blind or (roman) blind, must be taut so that on the one hand the dimensional stability is guaranteed and on the other hand so that the shading system, in particular the pleated blind or (roman) blind, does not adjust itself. This is difficult to achieve in automated production, and undesirable manual assembly steps usually remain.
  • a clamping device that can be used to achieve better automation during assembly is described in the publication DE 10 2005 052 895 A1 or in print DE 10 2014 211 419 A1 described.
  • the spring tensioner described there is mounted in a profile rail of the shading system and a carriage with deflection means is pulled out, around which the cord is then wound.
  • the disadvantage here is that the threading of the cord into the deflection means still has to be done by hand.
  • the problem on which the invention is based is to specify a device for tensioning a cord of a shading system, with which improved automation during assembly can be achieved.
  • Another problem on which the invention is based is to specify a method for installing a shading system with improved automation.
  • a development of the invention is characterized in that the shading system has at least one profile rail, which is assigned in particular to the bushing, preferably arranged in it. This allows the bushing to be positioned precisely and securely.
  • the profile rail then has at least one groove, a web and/or a latching opening, in particular for interaction with the fastening means, mounting the device for tensioning a cord on the profile rail is particularly simple.
  • fastening means means for the form-fitting, in particular movable, fastening of the spring element, in particular on a profile rail of the shading system, preferably for interaction with a groove, a web, a latching opening and/or the passage of the profile rail are, and special preferably have latching elements, latching hooks, latching tabs and/or latching lugs.
  • fastening means are designed for fastening by stamping, stamping, riveting, gluing, pressing, welding and/or soldering. This enables quick and easy installation.
  • the deflection means are associated with a movable end and/or the fastening means are associated with a fixed end of the spring element. In this way, the deflection means can be pulled or pushed away from the fixed end against the spring force for tensioning the cord and/or for mounting.
  • the spring element has a tension spring or a compression spring, in particular a helical spring. A simple and efficient structure can thus be achieved.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the spring deflection of the spring element allows the deflection means to be deflected from the first position (assembly position) to the second position (working position) and vice versa.
  • the clamping device can be mounted directly in the second position (working position) and the deflection means can then be deflected into the first position (mounting position).
  • the cord tensioner can be secured for threading by simply bringing it into the first position (assembly position) and tilting the carriage relative to the base body in this first position (assembly position). After threading has taken place, the carriage can then be brought into the second position (working position) by simply setting it parallel to the base body. This makes automated threading particularly easy.
  • a development of the method according to the invention is characterized by the attachment of the device for tensioning the cord by means of attachment means assigned to the other end of the spring element on the corresponding end of the latter Fastening means of the shading system, in particular a profile rail (11) of the shading system. This makes the attachment easy and stable.
  • the device is first slidably attached to the shading system, in particular to a profile rail of the shading system, and then moved to a third position (locking position) in which the fastening means for locking the device to the shading system, in particular to a profile rail of the shading system, interact with the corresponding fasteners.
  • a third position locking position in which the fastening means for locking the device to the shading system, in particular to a profile rail of the shading system, interact with the corresponding fasteners.
  • a further advantage results from the fact that the device is first mounted in a fourth position (intermediate position), then moved from this fourth position (intermediate position) to the first position (mounting position) and then to the third position (locking position).
  • a shading system with an odd number of openings in a profile rail can be easily and automatically threaded with a cord.
  • the threading of the cord is also possible with an even number of passages in the profile rail.
  • a development of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the device is first mounted in the third position (locking position) and then the spring element is deflected from this into the first position (mounting position). This makes assembly particularly easy.
  • the device for fastening to the shading system in particular in the third position (locking position), is positively connected to it, in particular stamped, pressed, glued, welded, soldered, riveted, punched and/or latched . This results in a simple and equally stable attachment.
  • the device is fixed, in particular releasably, in the first position (assembly position) by locking a carriage on a base body for threading the cord through the passage and the deflection means, with preferably mutually corresponding locking means on the
  • the base body and the carriage engage with one another, particularly preferably a detent on the carriage with an edge on the base body, with the carriage being latched to the base body by means of inclined points and/or the latching being released by parallel points.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective plan view of a shading system 10 as an embodiment of the invention.
  • a pleated blind 10 is shown.
  • the pleated blind 10 has a profile rail 11 and a cord tensioner 12 as well as a cord 13 tensioned by means of the cord tensioner 12.
  • the rail 11 has a U-shaped cross section with a passage 14 for the cord 13 in the U bottom. Even though only one bushing 14 and a cord tensioner 12 associated with it are shown in the figure, several bushings 14 and cord tensioners 12 can be provided as required.
  • the profile rail 11 On the U-legs inward and facing each other, the profile rail 11 has grooves 15, of which only one groove 15 can be seen in the figure. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the grooves 15 are designed as longitudinal grooves.
  • the cord tensioner 12 has a base body 16 and a carriage 17.
  • the carriage 17 has deflection means 18 for the cord 13.
  • the deflection means are in the form of an eyelet 18 .
  • the carriage 17 is connected to the base body 16 by means of a spring element 19 .
  • the spring element 19 is a spring 19 .
  • the base body 16 has fastening elements 20, 21.
  • the fastening elements 20 are designed as latching hooks 20 and the fastening element 21 is designed as a latching tab.
  • the latching hooks 20 interact with the grooves 15 and are latched with them.
  • the cord tensioner 12 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the grooves by means of the latching hooks 20 engaged in the grooves 15 and is secured against lifting off the profile rail. The functioning of the locking tab is explained in more detail below.
  • the latching tab 21 has a latching nose 22 on its end facing away from the eyelet 18 for interacting with a latching opening or latching depression.
  • the locking lug 22 extends downwards from the underside of the locking tab 21 facing away from the carriage 17 .
  • the figure also shows stops 23 on the base body 16 that face away from one another at the sides and that interact with stop surfaces 26 on the carriage 17 associated with them.
  • the spring 19 is relaxed and the carriage is pulled back as far as possible, to the left in the figure.
  • the stops 23 are free from the stop faces 26 .
  • FIG 4 shows a perspective side view of the shading system 10 from FIG 1 with cord tensioner 12 removed. This is a state when assembling cord tensioner 12 before inserting it into profile rail 11.
  • figure 5 shows a similar representation figure 5 with mounted cord tensioner 12.
  • cord tensioner 12 was inserted into profile rail 11.
  • the locking hooks 20 were locked with the grooves 15.
  • FIG. 6 shows a perspective top view of the shading system 10 from FIG figure 5 with the cord tensioner 12 in an intermediate position (fourth position).
  • a cord 13 can be threaded, for example, if there is an odd number of passages 14 in the profile rail 11 .
  • a cord is threaded through the passage 14 and a first eyelet 18 of a first cord tensioner 12 and then a second eyelet 18 of a second cord tensioner is brought to coincide with the passage 14 from the other side in order to thread another cord, such as is explained in more detail below.
  • an opening 24 is provided adjacent to the U-bottom of the profile rail and the locking tab 21 .
  • the opening 24 serves as a latching opening for interaction with the latching lug 22.
  • FIG. 7 shows a similar representation 6 with the cord tensioner 12 in a mounting position (first position).
  • the cord tensioner 12 can be snapped directly into the profile rail in this position. In this way, for example, a shading system with an even number of bushings 14 can be threaded. In the position shown, the eyelet 18 is in line with the bushing 14 .
  • FIG 8 shows a similar representation 7 with a threading hook 25 guided jointly through the passage 14 and the eyelet 18.
  • the threading hook 25 can thus grasp a cord (not shown in the figure) and simultaneously pull it downwards through the eyelet 18 and the passage 14.
  • FIG. 10 shows a similar representation 9 with the cord tensioner 12 in the working position (second position).
  • the latching lug 22 is latched into the latching opening 24 in this position.
  • the slide 17 is deflected against the spring force of the spring 19 towards the passage 14 .
  • the spring tension of the spring 19 causes the cord 13 to be tensioned.
  • FIG. 11 shows a side view of the cord tensioner 12 in a position similar 9 with omitted profile rail 11. It can be clearly seen how the cord extends through the eyelet 18 and the passage 14.
  • cord tensioner 27 shows a side view of another cord tensioner 27 with the features of the invention.
  • the other cord tensioner 27 is constructed similarly to the cord tensioner 12.
  • the same elements have the same reference numbers.
  • the mode of operation of the other cord tensioner 27 also essentially corresponds to that of cord tensioner 12.
  • cord tensioner 27 has a more compact design than cord tensioner 12.
  • the other cord tensioner 27 has a base body 28 similar to the base body 16 with latching hook 20. Specifically, the base body 28 has three latching hooks 20.
  • a carriage 29 is similar to the carriage 17 slidably arranged.
  • the carriage 29 can be moved to the right in the figure against the base body 28, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • a latching tab 30 is arranged with a latching lug 31 provided on its end facing away from the base body 28 .
  • the base body 28 is latched to the cord eyelet 14 by means of the latching tab 30 and the latching lug 31 and is thus secured against displacement to the left or right in the figure.
  • the base body also has a spring bearing 32 at its end adjacent to the locking tab 30 .
  • a spring 19 is supported against the spring bearing 32 .
  • the spring 19 of the additional cord tensioner 27 is a compression spring, which is also designed as a helical spring.
  • the compression spring 19 is arranged between the spring bearing 32 and an end of the carriage 29 which faces away from the spring bearing 32 . If you move the carriage 29 against the base body 28 in the figure to the right towards the cord eyelet 14, as explained in more detail below, the compression spring 19 is tensioned.
  • FIG 16 shows a plan view of the other spring tensioner 27 in the first position (assembly position). It can be clearly seen how the eye 18 has come to coincide with the cord eyelet 14, i.e. it is aligned. It can also be seen from the figure that the compression spring 19 has been tensioned by the displacement of the carriage 29 against the base body 28 to the right in the figure towards the cord eyelet 14 . By solving the locking between the carriage 29 and the base body 28, the compression spring 19 pushes the carriage in the figure to the left.
  • FIG 17 shows a partially sectioned side view of the cord tensioner 27 similar figure 15 . An area A is marked.
  • the base body 28 has a web 33 on which the carriage 29 can slide.
  • the web 33 has an edge 34 which cooperates with a latching lug 35 on the carriage 29 in the state shown.
  • the detent 35 has engaged under the edge 34 by tilting the carriage 29 . In this way, the carriage 29 is locked on the base body 28 in this inclined position.
  • the locking lug 35 disengages from the edge 34 and, driven by the restoring force of the spring 19, the carriage 29 can slide on the web 33 in its reset position on the base body 28.
