Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roller shutter according to the preamble of claim 1. More particularly, the invention relates to a roller shutter whose slats are interconnected by connecting elements, which connecting elements can be fully accommodated in one or two adjacent slats.
  • Roller shutters essentially consist of profile rods arranged parallel to one another, which together form the roller shutter curtain and, when the roller shutter is closed, must form a planar arrangement that is as gap-free and light-tight as possible.
  • the roller shutter must be rollable or foldable, for which the profile bars require sufficient mobility from one another.
  • the profile bars are therefore connected to one another by connecting elements.
  • Such a roller shutter is off, for example WO2014111967 A2 known disclosing all the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • roller shutter connections include those that are linked together to form chains and consist of bent steel wire (e.g. Regaroll ® ), as well as two-component connection elements consisting of sheet steel springs and articulated steel wire molded parts (Regapak ® ) or sheet steel stampings (Rolpac ® ). Due to the design, they only allow small bar spacing when the curtain is open, and must be inserted individually into the bars and then linked to form chains.
  • Regaroll ® bent steel wire
  • Rolpac ® sheet steel stampings
  • An important object of the invention is to create a robust, long-lasting connection of rod profiles that enables them to be linked to form hangings in an easy-to-assemble manner.
  • the invention is intended to flexibly connect individual profile bars of a roller shutter with one another and to guide their movement towards one another in a targeted manner.
  • the aim of the movement of the rods during the closing process of the curtain is to close the light gaps between the rods proportionally to the movement, so that the rods can be stacked on top of one another in the end position, opaque to form a closed curtain.
  • the geometry of the perforated rod should be as small as possible so as not to weaken the rod's stability and to avoid additional light gaps during the closing movement of the curtain.
  • the invention should be able to be used equally for folding roller shutters and for wound roller shutters.
  • connection of the profile bars according to the invention is characterized in that it gives the bars the freedom of movement to change their distance from one another up to the respective end position and serves as a guide element during the movement.
  • the rods in the first end position of the movement, can lie one on top of the other in an orderly manner and thus a gap-free, opaque arrangement is possible (curtain in the closed position).
  • an air and light-permeable gap in the other end position of the movement (curtain in the open position), an air and light-permeable gap of, for example, approx. 10mm width is created.
  • a roller shutter 1 with a plurality of substantially mutually parallel profiled bars 2.3 and adjacent profiled bars 2.3 connecting connecting elements 4, which allow a relative movement of the profiled bars, in which the distance between the adjacent profiled bars 2.3 changed from each other.
  • the roller shutter 1 comprises profile bars made of solid material with cutouts for the connecting elements, etc.
  • the roller shutter can be a folding roller shutter or a coiled roller shutter.
  • the roller shutter comprises at least one connecting element 4, which comprises a rod-like connector 5 with two end areas 7,8, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the connector 5 in a middle area 9, such as e.g. Am 1 shown.
  • the connector 5 preferably comprises a piece of wire (section of wire) 6, the diameter and stiffness of which are dimensioned so that it behaves like a flexible rod in operation.
  • the piece of wire 6 has limited flexibility so that it can flex somewhat during operation. However, it must not bend during operation or deform in such a way that it cannot undisturbedly perform its function of guiding the profile bars 2.3 during their movement.
  • rod-like connector such as a rod or a section of pipe made of plastic material or metal, instead of such a piece of wire rope.
  • a stiff hose section can also be considered.
  • the wire cable piece 6 is provided at its ends with fixed stops, which can be formed, for example, by pressed metal sleeves and form the end areas 7, 8 of the connector 5, in which the diameter of the connector 5 is larger than in its central area 9.
  • the diameter of the In this embodiment, the connector in the central area is the diameter of the piece of wire rope.
  • the profile bars 2, 3 connected by the connecting element 4 each have a chamber 10 ( 4 ) into which the connector 5 extends and in which an end portion 7,8 of the connector 5 is accommodated, such as 7 indicates.
  • the chamber 10 is provided with a device 14 which prevents the end portion 7, 8 of the connector 5 from leaving the chamber 10.
  • the chamber in the embodiment disclosed herein includes a guide housing 10 ( 2 ), In which the connector 5 adjacent profile bars 2.3 are partially included.
  • one of these profile bars is an end bar, i.e. only has one other profile bar adjacent, only one connector 5 is with one of its end areas in the guide housing 10 recorded. In this case, the end portion can be fastened immovably in the guide housing 10.
  • the guide housing 10 accommodates two stops 7.8 of two connectors 5 that can move therein. Within the guide housing 10, the connectors 5, guided in channels, can move up and down.
  • the length of the connector 5 is not greater than the sum of the lengths of the two chambers or guide housings 10 which receive the end regions 7, 8 of the connector 5, so that the connector can enter the two guide chambers 10 with its full length so that it is visible between the individual profile rods when the blind is open and can completely immerse itself in the guide housing when the blind is closing.
  • the guide housing On its sides facing an adjacent profile bar 2,3, the guide housing is provided with an opening in the form of a sleeve 14 through which one of the connectors 5 extends and whose clear width is greater than the diameter of the connector 5 in the central area, but less than the diameter of the stop 7.8. The stop can then move in the guide housing 10, but not leave it.
  • profile bars 2.3 are connected by the guide housing 10 anchored therein and the connector 5 to form a chain.
  • the guide housings represent the connecting element between the individual wire rope sections.
  • the sleeve on the top of the housing guides the wire rope during its movement and at the same time forms the upper end stop for the movement within the housing.
  • the lengths of the wire rope section and housing are matched to one another in such a way that the rope sections can dip into the respective housing until the two rods connected by them have come to lie securely on top of one another.
  • Aluminum, zamac or thermoplastic material can be used as the construction material.
  • the guide housing 10 consists of two halves, which are preferably geometrically essentially identical, into which two wire cable sections are inserted with their end stops. The two halves of the housing are then plugged into one another and thus form the guide channel for the end stops ( 3 , 5 , 6 ).
  • the plugged-in connecting elements are then pressed into the respective roller shutter slats.
  • the number of connecting elements per bar depends on the length of the bar or the width of the curtain.
  • At least two connecting elements are provided per rod.
  • Rod preparation Cavities (chambers) with the exact outer contour of the guide housing are first milled into rods made of solid material (wood, bamboo composite material, etc.) at a distance that depends on the rod length ( 4 ).
  • Two steel cable sections are each enclosed by one of their end stops in a guide housing so that they can move the end stops freely up and down within the housing.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the invention which is Figures 8 to 10 is shown comprises similar to a first embodiment of the invention as in FIG Figures 1 to 7 shown, a roller shutter 15 with a plurality of profiled bars 20, 30 arranged essentially parallel to one another and connecting elements 40 connecting adjacent profiled bars 20, 30, which allow a relative movement of the profiled bars, in which the distance between the adjacent profiled bars 20, 30 changes.
  • the roller shutter 15 comprises profile rods made of hollow profile material, preferably made of sheet metal.
  • the roller shutter can be a folding roller shutter or a coiled roller shutter.
  • the roller shutter comprises a connecting element 40 with a rod-like connector 50, which comprises a free end region 70, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the connector 50 in a central region 90.
  • the connecting element 40 also comprises a guide housing 100, on the top of which 75 the other end portion of the connector 50 is fixed centrally.
  • the guide housing 100 serves to slidably accommodate the free end region 70 of a connecting element connected to the adjacent profile bar, such as in particular 10 illustrated.
  • the connector 50 preferably comprises a length of wire (section of wire) 60, the diameter and stiffness of which are sized to behave like a flexible rod in operation.
  • the length of wire 60 has limited flexibility so that it may flex somewhat during operation. During operation, however, it must not buckle or deform in such a way that it cannot perform its function of guiding the profile bars 20, 30 during their movement undisturbed.
  • rod-like connector such as a rod or a section of pipe made of plastic material or metal, instead of such a piece of wire rope.
  • a stiff hose section can also be considered.
  • the piece of wire rope 60 is provided at one end forming the free end area with a fixed stop 70 in the form of a metal sleeve, through which the diameter of the connector 50 is larger in the free end area than in its middle area 90.
  • the diameter of the connector in the middle area is of this embodiment, the diameter of the piece of wire 60.
  • the stop 70 includes a hook portion 71 which can be grasped with a tool and facilitates the insertion of the connector 50 into the guide housing 100 of the adjacent profile bar when assembling the roller shutter.
  • the guide housing 100 is an approximately U-shaped hollow part, between the legs of which there is an interior space 115 which serves to accommodate the stop 70 of an adjacent connecting element, as indicated above.
  • the guide housing could instead be made of solid material. It can be made of sheet metal, plastic or any other suitable material.
  • the guide housing 100 is provided with devices which prevent the end portion 70 of the connector 50 of the adjacent connection element from being able to leave the guide housing 100 .
  • These devices include inward projections 141, 142 formed internally at the end of the legs of the guide housing ( Fig.8 , 10 ). These projections delimit an opening 140, the clear width of which is larger than the diameter of the connector 50 in the central region 90, but smaller than the diameter of the stop 70, so that the stop 70 cannot leave the interior space 115.
  • one of these profiled bars is an end bar, ie has only one adjacent profiled bar, only one connector 50 is accommodated with its free end region in the guide housing 100 of the adjacent profiled bar. The guide housing of the end bar is then only used to attach it to the end bar.
  • the length of the connector 50 be no greater than the length of the interior space 115 which receives the end portion (70) of the connector (50) to allow the full length of the connector to enter the guide housing 100 so that it is visible between the individual profile rods when the curtain is open and can completely immerse into the guide housing during the closing movement of the curtain.
  • profile bars 20, 30 are connected by the guide housing 100 anchored therein and the connector 50 to form a chain, such as 10 illustrated.
  • the guide housing 100 is fixed in the cavity of the profile forming the profile bar. 10 shows this schematically. It does not necessarily consist of a material that can be connected directly to the profile material. Therefore, the guide housing 100 can be provided with a clip connection.
  • the clip 150 preferably forms a fastening spring which grips the guide housing at the lower end and engages in corresponding recesses 155 on the guide housing ( 8 ).
  • the clip can be provided with lugs 151 to fasten it in the hollow profile, 9 .
  • the profile bar 20, 30 can be provided with stiffening grooves 21, 22, as in 9 implied.
  • a roller shutter according to the invention comprises a plurality of profile bars, which can consist of the same or different material.
  • the invention can be used both for hollow profiles made of sheet steel, aluminum or composite materials and for solid rods made of wood or bamboo composite material.
  • At least one profile bar, preferably all profile bars, consists in preferred embodiments of solid material with recesses for the chambers 10.
  • the material is preferably at least partially, preferably entirely, selected from wood, bamboo, plastic or metal. Combinations of different materials are possible.
  • the invention can equally be used for folding roller shutters and for wound roller shutters. This means that both products can be manufactured on the same production machines. There is no additional incidence of light in the area of the punch-outs for the connecting hooks.
  • the guided closing movement prevents the roller shutter curtain from closing irregularly due to the roller shutter slats jamming.
  • the invention enables significantly lower noise emissions during the movement of the bars, as well as during wind-induced vibrations.
