Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swivel device for a vertical slat curtain according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a swivel device for a vertical slat curtain according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • it is intended for such vertical slat curtains in which the individual slats can only be swiveled about their swivel axis but cannot be moved along a window and / or door front to be covered.
  • Such vertical lamella curtains usually have a manually operable pivoting device, which essentially comprises a pull string forming a loop.
  • One strand of the tension string is connected to one end of the narrow side of each of the slats.
  • the other strand of the tension string is connected to the other end of the narrow side of each of the slats.
  • Appropriate deflection rollers ensure that the loop of the tension string hangs down next to the front to be covered with the vertical lamella curtain.
  • the swivel position of all slats can be adjusted by pulling on one or the other of the strings of the pull string.
  • these are pivotably mounted on a pivot axis which projects into a pivot axis holding rail at the top.
  • the pivot axis of each of the slats runs in the extension of the corresponding longitudinal slat axis.
  • the addition and improvement should be possible on all already installed vertical slat curtains.
  • a first preferred embodiment of the swivel device is characterized by the features of claims 2 to 5.
  • This embodiment can be adapted particularly well to all possible types of the vertical lamella curtains mentioned.
  • the light-sensitive semiconductor element directly measures the intensity of the solar radiation and, by emitting a corresponding signal to the control device, permits light-dependent control. Control elements that are present on an operating device can be used to switch between manual and automatic operation.
  • the desired swivel position of the slats can be made electrically via the operating device. This can also be done using a remote control device, for example via an ultrasound or infrared connection.
  • a second, very easy-to-install embodiment of the swivel device according to the invention is characterized by claims 6 to 10.
  • the heart of this embodiment is a cylinder of of a certain length, which is filled with an expansion compound.
  • the expansion compound which is preferably a mixture of hard wax, paraffin and petroleum, has a relatively large coefficient of thermal expansion.
  • the cylinder is heated when exposed to sunlight.
  • the expansion compound tries to expand.
  • a piston rod which is arranged longitudinally to the cylinder and projects into it, the end of which is closed by a piston, is pressed out of the cylinder by the force of the expansion compound acting on the surface of the piston facing away from the piston rod and acts on the drive means connected to the strings of the tension string connected is.
  • the tension string movement path depends on the length of the cylinder filled with the expansion compound.
  • the coupling lever acting on the coupling device can be used to switch the coupling between the piston rod and the drive means on or off. When switched off, the previous manual operation by pulling on one of the strings of the pull string is still possible.
  • the coupling device is designed in such a way that, after the coupling has been switched on, automatic operation can be resumed, regardless of the previously manually pivoted position of the slats.
  • Retrofitting is easy to do using the do-it-yourself process. There is no need to prepare additional electrical installations.
  • the organ exposed to solar radiation in the first exemplary embodiment could also be a bimetal switch.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of an arrangement of the swiveling device according to the invention on a vertical slat curtain.
  • This consists of a plurality of freely hanging and spaced-apart slats 1. Each of them is provided at the top with a pivot axis 3 which extends in the extension of the vertical longitudinal axis 2 of the slat and into a pivot axis holding rail 23 protrudes.
  • the vertical lamella curtain serves to cover a window, the outlines of which are given by a lower window sill 24, an upper curtain rail board 25, a left window frame part 26 and a right window frame part 27.
  • the pivot axis holding rail 23 already mentioned is fastened in the curtain rail board 25.
  • One end of the upper narrow side of the individual slats is connected to a first strand 5 and the other end of the upper narrow side of the individual slats is connected to a second strand 6 of a tension string 4 forming a loop.
  • first of the strands 5 for example, all of the slats can be pivoted in such a way that their surfaces are essentially parallel to the window front.
  • This pivoting position of the slats is referred to below as a first closed position.
  • the pivoting position of the slats can be changed such that their surfaces are essentially perpendicular to the window front. In the following we speak of a second open position of the slats for this state.
  • the tension string is deflected by deflection rollers 21, 22 attached to the side of the window at the top and hangs downward, forming the loop mentioned, next to the right or left window frame part 26, 27.

Both mechanical and electronic, for example fork light barriers, can be used as limit switches , are used.
  • the drive means 8 further comprises an electric motor 28, which acts on a reduction gear 29.
