Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety device for gathering or Roller blinds with a curtain made of slats suspended below and in rails on the side of the window or door frame guided, parallel, on laterally interconnected slat carriers rotatably supported slats, of which slat carriers the one which carries the lowest slat, rotatable on one in side rails guided slide is supported.
  • Safety devices are known. It will be between safety devices to protect the venetian blind or roller blind and safety devices to protect against unwanted intruders.
  • the safety devices of the second type are the simplest Fall from one or two laterally displaceable bars on the lowest Slat, which engage in recesses in the rails.
  • Such manually Actuated bolts are in and of themselves safe if a burglar is not between reach through two slats and unlock the fuse.
  • this type of backup requires at least a second job, namely the actuation of the latch on the store, which is known, however, often will be forgotten.
  • the CH-A-653090 shows a clamping member consisting of a lever, the a pivot pin is rotatably mounted on a plate.
  • the plate is part a carriage that can be moved in the guide rail. Will this plate through Lifting a slat raised, the lever is pivoted and he presses against the guide rail and jams. If the store is pulled up, the lever with the tape is in an ineffective position brought. However, there is a possibility that the blind is not complete is lowered so that the lever is under traction and thereby does not come into a clamping position. Then when the store is raised, so can be reached under the lowest slat and the lever be brought into the ineffective position by hand.
  • this is achieved in that at least one of the lowest plate assigned plate carrier with a brake flap for the engagement with the rail is provided with safety lever, and that the guide carriage has a support for one-sided loading of the safety lever upon detection of the lamella with a displacement force, either by pushing up or by the weight of the stack of slats Prevention of lowering by an obstacle, and a pocket for Has release of the locking lever by pulling up the guide carriage.
  • a support on the guide carriage to protect against falling down provided for the horizontal position of the safety lever, is also a release guide with a tape guide attached for attachment of the drawstring and an upper stop surface for attaching to the safety lever to trigger the stop position and one with the tape guide one-piece shoe for pushing up the sled available.
  • two slat carriers can be rotated in each case by means of a pivot pin an elongated tab, which tab has a slot is engaged by a pin of a locking lever.
  • the brake flaps are at a distance from the tenon on two opposite surfaces of the Rail on.
  • the invention takes advantage of the knowledge of friction on a cylindrical guide, as shown in Fig.1.
  • the force F is shown with its line of action.
  • the bushing turns clockwise and attaches itself to the cylinder at the top left at point I and at the bottom right at point II.
  • the associated normal forces F A andF B are directed against the socket.
  • the force F tries to move the bushing downwards and the frictional forces Fr are thus directed upwards.
  • the lines of action of the normal and the frictional forces lie within the friction cone R because the frictional force never exceeds the value R ⁇ F ⁇ tan ⁇ the two friction cones R can lie. It follows that a cylinder guide only jams if the guide length corresponds to the following formula: l ⁇ 2 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ l 1
  • an elongated tab 4 articulated Central to the disk carrier 15 is by means of of an articulated pin 14 an elongated tab 4 articulated.
  • This tab 4 is provided in its lower part with a slot 7 into which a pin 6 engages, which can be moved up and down in slot 7 to a limited extent.
  • the pin 6 is at the end of a locking lever 8, which locking lever 8 is equipped with two opposing brake flaps 32, 33 (Fig. 5). These brake flaps 32, 33 encompass the yoke of the rail 21, each with a rear engagement tab 34.35 (Fig. 5).
  • the locking lever lies 8 between two vertically superimposed cams 12a and 12b as a pivot bearing. Under the pin 6, it has a guide carriage 2 Support 10 for the locking lever 8. This support 10 has the task the locking lever when lowering and lifting the curtain 8 in a horizontal position to keep it under the weight the curtain cannot rotate and thus exert frictional forces on the rail would.
  • a safety device to prevent the blind from falling when one is removed supporting obstacle is effected by a safety lever 31. This has at its end opposite the brake flaps 32, 33 a guide slot 36 for the tension band 1.
  • the locking lever 31 rests on the side of the brake flaps 32, 33 on one Stop surface of the band attachment 39, so that the locking lever when Raise the curtain on one side on this stop surface and on the other on a support 38 integrally molded on the guide carriage 2 lies on. This is the locking lever 31 when lifting the normal Blinds by means of the elevator belt 1 in a horizontal position and the brake flaps 32,33 cannot exert any frictional forces on the rail.
  • the brake flaps 32, 33 of the locking lever 8 Act when securing against unauthorized pushing up of the curtain the brake flaps 32, 33 of the locking lever 8 in exactly the same way as the locking lever 31 as described above.
  • the brake flaps 32, 33 comprise the yoke of the rail 21, each with a rear engagement tab 34, 35.
  • the locking lever 8 lies between two Cams 12a and 12b located vertically one above the other as rotary bearings. Under the pin 6 it has a support 10 for the guide carriage 2 Locking lever 8. This support 10 has the task of lowering and when lifting the curtain the locking lever in a horizontal position Hold position so that it is not under the weight of the curtain can rotate and thus exerts frictional forces on the rail, so that a similar Case could occur as described above.
  • the carriage 2 With the elevator belt 1, the carriage 2 is pulled up and through the support on the support 22, the slats are horizontal and can to be gathered. When lowering, the elevator belt 1 brakes the otherwise free one Case of the carriage 2 so that this due to its own weight in synchronism slides down with the curtain.
  • the slat package of which only the The lowest slat is shown, is by the tab 4 on the carriage 2nd supported in a bowl 5. The support is also located on this pin 10th
  • the tab 4 is pivotally connected to the lowermost lamella of the plate pack via the hinge pin 14. If the completely lowered curtain is pressed upwards on its lowest slat of the slat package, the pin 6 on the locking lever 8 in the slot 7 is pulled upwards.
  • the positive engagement of the brake flaps 32, 33 on the yoke of the rail 21 causes the brake flaps 32, 33 according to the description of FIG. 1 above to exert frictional forces F r on the web of the rail 21, which as a result of the lever arm 11 and through the Contact forces F B become very large, and it is therefore not possible for the locking lever 8 or the tab 4 and thus the lowest slat of the curtain can be moved. This guarantees an absolutely flawless securing of the curtain.
  • the curtain is raised by means of the drawstring 1, the comes Locking lever 8 as a result of the support 10 and the cams 12a, 12b in the horizontal position and the brake flaps 32.33 slide smoothly the rail up.
  • the locking only occurs when Raise the bottom slat to take effect without any further Activity of the operator would be necessary. If the brake flaps too 32.33 came into effect, nobody notices, because when pulling up the brake flaps 32, 33 release themselves from the rail 21 and the curtain can be operated without any additional effort.
