Definitions

• the present invention relates to a closure device for a wall opening with a plurality of strip-shaped elements, the strip-shaped elements being mounted on both end faces in guide devices each having two guides such that in a first state they lie against one another with their longitudinal sides and form a flat cover for the wall opening and in a second state they are stacked side by side in parallel, the guides running in parallel in the area of a section lying essentially within the wall opening, close together.
• DE 44 40 693 AI shows a locking device that can be used as a blind or as a sectional door.
• several stable elements which are perpendicular to one another in the first, ie lowered, state are stacked almost horizontally one above the other in the second, ie raised state.
• the stable elements are mounted on each side of the wall opening via two guide pins in two guide rails each, the two guide rails on one side being closely spaced in the lower region of the wall opening and a larger distance from one another in the upper region of the wall opening to have.
• the elements Due to the narrow spacing of the guide rails in the lower region of the wall opening, the elements are perpendicular to one another in the first, ie lowered, state.
• the greater distance between the guide rails in the upper region of the wall opening means that the elements are stacked one above the other in an almost horizontal position in the second state, ie in the raised state.
• such a stacking requires a large installation volume.
• a closure device for wall openings wherein a plurality of identical slats, which are guided on both sides of the wall opening in a guide rail, form a closed surface one above the other when lowered.
• the slats can be stacked next to one another above a wall opening by means of a deflection device arranged in the path of the slats. Due to the deflection device, the slats are unhooked from both sides of the guide rails. As a result, the slats are no longer supported in guide rails, which is why they can wiggle back and forth and hit each other.
• the slats on both sides have a roller which is rotatably held about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of each slat, adjacent slats being connected to one another by means of joints which can be pivoted about the axis of the rollers on one slat and parallel to the longitudinal axis on the other slat the guide rails are attached.
• a roller which is rotatably held about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of each slat, adjacent slats being connected to one another by means of joints which can be pivoted about the axis of the rollers on one slat and parallel to the longitudinal axis on the other slat the guide rails are attached.
• the object of the present invention is to provide a closure device of the type mentioned at the outset to further develop that the stacking process is improved with safe guidance of the cover elements and, moreover, an inexpensive construction is made possible.
• the guides in the region of an end lying outside the section of the wall opening each transition in an arc into a spaced-apart, parallel arrangement which extends substantially perpendicular to the course of the guide in the region of the section of the wall opening.
• This has the great advantage over the known arrangement of the guides that the strip-shaped elements are not stacked one above the other in an almost horizontal position, but rather can be stacked next to one another in a space-saving manner parallel to the guides in the region of the section of the wall opening.
• the strip-shaped elements are connected to one another in such a way that they are spaced apart by the stacking process.
• the stacking of the elements according to the invention at a distance from one another prevents such damage.
• the invention is based on the idea of creating a simple, inexpensive construction by means of a special guidance and connection of the individual cover elements and at the same time improving the stacking of the cover elements in the area outside a wall opening.
• the strip-shaped elements of the closure device according to the invention are mounted in the region of their end faces in each case at a first and a second point in the two guides, the first point being closer to the spaced arrangement of the guides than the second point, and - based on the curve of the Guides - the first point is stored in the outer guide and the second point in the inner guide.
• This arrangement has the great advantage that the strip-shaped elements on both when moving from the first to the second state
• End faces are securely guided so that tilting of the elements is prevented and smooth operation is ensured.
• Running rails formed Such an embodiment represents a very inexpensive variant of the invention, since commercially available components can be used that do not have to be specially manufactured for the construction of a closure device according to the invention. At the same time, it is ensured that the strip-shaped elements are guided exactly when moving through the running rails.
• the strip-shaped elements are articulated to one another via rocker arms.
• the elements are usually connected to one another only via rigid joints, which are no further allow variable setting of the distance between neighboring elements.
• the individual elements in the construction according to the invention are connected to one another in an articulated manner via the rocking levers, so that the rocking levers enable the strip-shaped elements to be pivoted and articulated from the first state via an arc to the second state.
• the rocking levers are advantageously formed in one piece and each have an incision at their upper and / or lower end.
• the effective length and thus the distance between adjacent strip-shaped elements can be varied via this incision.
• the rocker arms each transmit the forces which occur when the strip-shaped elements are shifted from the first to the second state and vice versa from one strip-shaped element to an adjacent strip-shaped element.
• the load is not transmitted directly over the adjacent longitudinal sides of the elements, as in known devices, but is taken up by the rocker arms.
• the strip-shaped elements in their first state are arranged outside their outer guide, wherein they are guided via a short holder in the outer guide and via a long holder in the inner guide.
• Embodiment makes it possible to stack the strip-shaped elements in the second state at a distance from one another in the area outside the section of the wall opening.
• the long holder acts as a spacer between adjacent elements and prevents the individual elements from lying too close together in the stacked state and the associated damage to the surfaces of the elements by scratching.
• the arrangement of the strip-shaped elements in their first state outside the outer guide ensures that the guides are covered from the outside. Thus, the guides are not visible from the outside, which creates a uniform appearance of the closure device.
• the strip-shaped elements are stacked in the second state at an angle between 10 and 30 ° to the guides lying in the region of the section of the wall opening.
• Such a tilt position ensures a particularly space-saving arrangement of the strip-shaped elements in the second state, since the elements come to lie flat.
• only those stacking arrangements are known from the prior art that require a greater installation height.
• the strip-shaped element which is furthest away from the arcuate course of the guides can be attached to one Be attached to the rope arrangement, over which
• Locking device can be moved.
• the drive for moving the strip-shaped elements from the first to the second state and vice versa is realized by the simplest constructional means. This in turn keeps the manufacturing costs of the closure device low.
• the cable arrangement can be manually operated according to a further embodiment of the invention.
• a closure device designed in this way helps to keep both the costs for production and for subsequent maintenance very low, since no complex drive device is required.
