Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sun protection system when retracted into a package gathered horizontal Slats on a turning device to adjust their inclination hanging on one with the help of elevator elements movable reversible rail is mounted.
  • Sun protection systems with horizontal slats - also venetian blinds called - usually work according to the same system.
  • the slats are on both sides by a kind of ladder forming support elements, usually cords, or one Loop cord held over which the slat curtain attaches a turning device often integrated in a housing hangs.
  • a bottom rail is used to retract the curtain pulled up by elevator elements, with the slats one after the other on this lower rail to form a package stack.
  • a venetian blind is already known from US Pat. No. 5,443,108, its turning rail together with a turning device mounted on it can be moved by elevator elements. Disadvantageous with this construction is that the manual drive the turning device only installation on one Inside of the window allowed and no automatic setting the slat inclination, such as for the Use in office buildings is essential to be realized can. This allows the advantage of a movable reversing rail, that in reducing the space required is above the window area, only very limited deploy.
  • the object of the invention is a sun protection system to create that has a movable reversible rail and is universally applicable.
  • the task is performed by a sun protection system of the type described above, in which in an electric motor is provided on the turning rail, which at least drives the turning device and the one to a supply source in the reversing rail or over free hanging or windable supply lines or via sliding contacts, that run on side tracks, to one external supply source is connected.
  • the arrangement of the drive motor in the reversing rail allows a remote control for the control of the slat inclination for example from the interior of the room, so that the sun protection system easily mounted on the outside of windows can be.
  • the problem of powering an electric motor according to the invention in the movable turning rail solved by one of the proposed variants.
  • a motor drives in the turning rail on the elevator elements.
  • a housing for the window area to be shaded that receives the drive motor for the elevator elements.
  • the lowest slat is usually above support elements connected with a bottom rail. This can be below the surface to be shaded or fixed Help from catch-up elements mounted on the reversing rail be windable with a motor.
  • the slat curtain below the window area to be shaded In the variant with fixed assembled bottom rail is gathered together the slat curtain below the window area to be shaded.
  • the second variant with regardless of the Reversible lower rail can be the shirring of the Package at any desired location in the travel area of the two rails. This variant enables very variable shading of the window surface, so that e.g. also a cutout in the middle of the window area can be shaded.
  • a single motor drives the turning device, the elevator elements and / or the catch-up elements accomplished.
  • the distribution of the drive torque the motor to the individual elements can be switched Couplings, slip clutches, freewheels or the like.
  • it is easily possible instead of one Motor in the reversing rail for driving the elevator elements or catch-up elements usual constructions with fixed built-in elevator motors or manual elevator devices with the motor-driven according to the invention Turning mechanism in the movable turning rail combine.
  • the control of the at least one electric motor in the Reversible rail is preferably a cordless Signal receiver from the supply source of the motor is fed with.
  • the wireless control of the electric motors avoids additional control cables and offers different ones Possibilities of manual or automatic Control.
  • the drive of the turning bearings of the turning device and the Elevator rolls of the elevator elements are of a kind and Way, as from the usual combined turning and pull-out drives for sun protection systems with overhead Slat package is known.
  • the drive motor takes the turning bearings and thus the Support elements on which the slats are suspended, only over a certain angle of rotation up to a stop.
  • a slip clutch ensures for the fact that the elevator rollers, despite the blocked
  • the turning bearing can continue to rotate, so that the lamella curtain can be retracted or extended.
  • the catch-up elements to the drive motor be coupled in the turning rail, for example the drive torque of the motor optionally on the elevator elements or the catch-up elements works.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a sun protection system 10. A cross section of this sun protection system is in Fig. 5 shown.
  • the sun protection system 10 has a turning rail 12 with Spiral bearings 14, which carry supporting elements 16 guided over them.

  • the turning bearings 14 can a certain angle of rotation between two stop positions can be rotated (see Fig. 5 to 7).
  • Fig. 5 shows in cross section a horizontal position of the Slats 18, in which the turning bearing 14 in one middle position between the two stop positions are located and the support members 16 on both long sides of the Slats 18 of the same length omitted from the reversing rail 12 are.
  • Fig. 7 shows the reversible bearing 14 in its opposite Stop position in which the support elements in comparison omitted to the position of FIG. 6 in the reverse manner or caught up. Even with this position of the turning bearings 14 results in a closed curtain position of the slats 18, but with the inverted position of the individual slats 18.
  • Fig. 7 also shows an alternative location of the Drive motor 38 above the guide rails 22.
  • the deflection rollers 32 can be dispensed with at the same time, however, the space requirement increases because of the 22 between the two guide rails transverse drive shaft. This is usually common integrated with the motor 38 in a top rail, so that the space requirement in the upper area of the sun protection system 10 increases.
