Definitions

  • the present invention is related to screen structures, in particular roller blinds used as awnings and the like. It is more specifically related to roller blinds which make a bend, preferably over a variable angle.
  • Document EP-A-0918118 is presented as the closest prior art. It concerns a screen structure, comprising two guides for accommodating between them an end member to which a screen is attached. The screen can - at the other end - be rolled up onto a drum.
  • Each guide comprises straight parts and a hinge joint which is arranged between said straight parts.
  • the hinge joint comprises a central shell part and two adjoining side shell parts, which execute a controlled movement with respect to the central shell part. Due to the specific hinge design, the side shell parts are forced to be placed symmetrically with respect to the central shell part, at any angle of the hinge joint.
  • the end member is attached to wheeled carriages which roll on tracks on the insides of the straight guide parts and inside the hinge joint.
  • the wheels must necessarily roll over a transition from a track inside the straight guide to a track inside the joint and again when moving from the joint to the adjacent straight guide. This is a problematic item of all prior art designs. Due to the variability of the joint's angle, it is impossible to provide a smooth transition of the wheels from the straight guide to the joint and vice versa. In most positions of the joint, this transition will occur with an irregularity in the carriage movement, or a shock, which is detrimental in terms of wear and user friendliness of the structure.
  • the present invention aims to provide a screen structure with a variable bend, wherein a perfectly smooth movement of the screen through the bend is possible, i.e. without any irregularity or shock of that movement.
  • the present invention is related to a screen structure comprising a set of at least two guide members and at least one end member, said end member being guided at its edges by said guide members, a screen being attached to said end member, each of said guide members comprising a first straight part and at least one additional straight part, each of said guide members further comprising at least one hinge joint between two adjacent straight parts, said hinge joint comprising a plurality of shell parts, of which at least two are connected to said straight guide parts, characterised in that :
  • said first means for rolling or gliding is a first set of wheels
  • said second means for rolling or gliding is a second set of wheels
  • said second set of wheels are placed on the same set of axes as said first set of wheels.
  • said hinge joint preferably comprises three shell parts, one central shell part and two side shell parts, said side shell parts being rigidly attached to said straight guide parts, and said side shell parts being able to rotate with respect to said central part and wherein three guiding plates are present, a central guiding plate attached to said central shell part, and two side plates attached to said side shell parts.
  • the screen structure of the invention preferably comprises a pulling chord or belt and a plurality of guide rolls inside said hinge joint, for guiding said chord or belt.
  • said second set of wheels preferably has a U-shaped outer profile.
  • connection between a shell part and a straight guide part takes place by two extensions of said shell part, said extensions fitting into hollow spaces inside said straight guide part, the first extension lying to one side of an axis around which torsion of said straight guide part is possible, the other extension lying to the opposite side.
  • Fig. 1 represents a view of a screen structure according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 represents a detailed view of the hinge joint according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 represents an exploded version of the view of figure 2
  • Fig. 4 represents a view of the main characteristic parts of the end member according to the invention.
  • Fig. 5 and 6 show side views of the hinge joint of the invention, installed at 90°.
  • Fig. 7 describes the profile of the straight guide parts according to the invention.
  • a screen structure of the invention is shown in figure 1. It comprises two parallel guides 1, of which one is shown in the drawing. Each guide consists of two straight parts 2 and 3 with a variable-angle hinge joint 4 in between. A support roll 5 is present between two joints 4, and carried in bearings which allow rotation of the roll 5 with respect to the joints.
  • the screen (not shown), which is normally a textile cloth, is wound onto a drum 6.
  • the drum 6 and/or the guides 1 may be attached to a rigid structure, such as a wall, a veranda, or other.
  • One free end of the screen is then attached to an end member 7, placed in between the guides 1.
  • the end member 7 can be moved whilst remaining essentially parallel to the drum 6, thereby unrolling or rolling up the screen, equivalent to closing or opening it.
  • the pulling and retracting of the screen can be done by a motor which drives the drum 6 and by cables, tapes, or chords present inside the guides 1 and attached to the end member 7. Also, tensioning springs are present for keeping the screen in a tensioned condition during the movement.
  • the screen structure of the invention is characterised by a specific design of the hinge joint 4, which is present in each of the parallel guides 1, and which in the case of figure 1 is a variable angle joint.
  • the invention is also related to the design of the end member 7 and the means for guiding said end member 7 through the guides 1 and the joint 4 of the invention.
  • the invention is further characterised by an improved connection between the hinge joint 4 and the straight guide parts 2 and 3, in order to have a better resistance against torsional forces.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show a preferred embodiment of the hinge joint 4 in more detail.
  • Figure 4 shows the parts of the end member 7 which are essential to the invention.
  • the joint 4 comprises two identical (but mirrored) side shells 10, attached to the straight guide parts 2, 3 to form projected extensions of said straight parts. In between these two projected shells 10, is the central shell 11.
  • the projected shells 10 are attached rigidly to the straight guide parts 2 and 3, by means of extensions 32 which fit into hollow portions of the straight guides 2 and 3.
  • An additional extension 33 is present on the projected shells 10 for obstructing torsional movement between the straight parts 2 and 3 and the projected shells 10. This is explained in more detail later in the text.
  • the projected shells 10, and with them, the straight guide parts 2 and 3, are connected to the central shell 11 by way of screws 34, which leave the possibility of a rotation, around axes 12, of the straight parts 2 and 3, relative to the central shell 11.
  • an angle between the straight guide parts 2 and 3 can be installed.
  • This angle preferably lies between 90° and 180°.
  • the mininum angle that can be installed may be lower than 90°, for example around 70°.
  • caps 13 At the top of the projected shells 10 and the central shell 11 are caps 13, which may overlap to a degree, according to the desired angle between the straight guide parts 2 and 3. Guide rolls 16 are present inside the joint, for guiding the pulling chord 17.
  • a central guiding plate 20 On the inner vertical side of the joint, are three guiding plates, for example metal plates : a central guiding plate 20 and two side plates 21. These plates form a characteristic of the invention.
  • the central plate 20 is attached to the central shell 11, while the two side plates 21 are attached to the projected shells 10.
  • the side plates 21 and central plate 20 overlap over a circular area 18, the centre of which coincides with the rotational axis 12.
  • the side plates 21 are attached to the side shells 10 by screws 35.
  • the central plate 20 At their section point with the axis 12, the central plate 20 is attached to the central shell part 11, via the screws 36, which are screwed into the hollow end of the screws 34.
  • the side plate 20 and central plates 21 comprise circular portions 40 which lie adjacent to each other and which have their centre point in the centre of area 18.
  • the side plates 21 can make the same rotational movement as the side shells 10, with respect to the central plate 20 and central shell 11, respectively.
  • the thickness of the overlapping portion 18 of the side plates 21 is preferably smaller than the thickness of the rest of the side plates 21.
  • the central plate 20 has an opening 30 for carrying the support roll 5. In the opening 30, a bearing 45 is present for allowing the support roll 5 to rotate.
  • the function of the guiding plates 20, 21 is to ensure a smooth transition of the end member 7 through the hinge joint 4.
  • the end member 7 is equipped with a triple set of wheels.
  • the primary set of two wheels 22 serves to move the end member 7 through the straight guide parts 2 and 3. This is shown in figure 2, where the end member 7 is positioned in the upper part of the screen structure, above the joint 4.
  • the wheels 22 are forced to roll in tracks 24 on the inside of the guide parts 2 and 3.
  • the second set of wheels 23 shares the same axes 25 with the first set 22 and is placed between said first set 22 and the end member body.
  • a third set of wheels 28, placed between the first and second set serves as a guide for the pulling chord 17, which runs inside the guides 1 and the end member 7.
  • the wheel 26 which is placed in the opening 27, is used for guiding the pulling chord into the end member 7, towards the spring (not shown) which is placed inside this end member.
  • the invention is characterised by the presence of the second set of wheels 23.
  • This second set of wheels 23 is placed in such a way that they take over the function of carrying the end member 7 as soon as this end member enters the joint 4.
  • the end member enters the joint 4 at point 38 (see figure 5).
  • the secondary wheels 23 land onto the first guiding plate 21 and roll consecutively over this plate, the central plate 20 and the opposite side plate, until the end member 7 leaves the joint, at which point the support of the end member is taken over again by the primary wheels 22.
  • the secondary wheels 23 may have a cylindrical shape.
  • the diameter of the wheels 23, and of the third set 28 is preferably smaller than that of the primary wheels 22, so that while the end member is supported by the straight guide parts 2 or 3, these wheels 23 and 28 do not make contact with the inside of said guide parts.
  • the side view of figure 5 illustrates the smooth transition from the straight part 2 to the joint 4.
  • the top ridge 41 of the side plates 21 has a slightly curved shape, in order to gradually lift up the end member by the secondary support wheels 23.
  • the shape of this top ridge 41 defines the moment when the carrying function is transferred from the primary wheels 22 to the secondary wheels 23.
  • the primary wheels 22 In order to have a smooth transition, the primary wheels 22 must support the end member at least until the moment when the secondary wheels 23 have made contact with the guiding plates 21.
  • the guiding plates have a shape which allows a smooth and shock-free transition through the joint, i.e. from one guiding plate to the adjacent one.
  • the top ridges of the assembled guiding plates 20, 21 form a continuous curve, as the top of the side plates 21 is always tangent to the top of the central plate 20.
  • the present invention also covers guiding plates which do not overlap, but are fully adjacent to each other.
  • the plates are made of the same thickness and their shape, as seen in a section perpendicular to the rotation axis is defined by the visible parts of the plates described above, and shown for example in figure 5.
  • the guiding plates 20,21 also perform the function of closing off - at least partially - the hinge joint on the inside. In this way, the hinge joint 4 is protected on all sides from the surrounding environment.
  • An indicator 31 is present on the inside of the side shells 10. This gives an indication of the relative position of the side shells 10, and thus also of the straight guide parts 2 and 3, with respect to the central shell part 11. As can be understood from the construction, the side shells 10 are not necessarily symmetric with respect to the central part. This set-up allows a more flexible positioning of the screen.
  • the guide rolls 16 are also a characterising feature.
  • the cable or belt often runs on flat surfaces inside the joint, which is a cause for excessive wear of this belt and of said flat surfaces.
  • a chord is used in stead of a belt.
  • the chord now only makes contact with the guide rolls' limited surface, which helps to avoid premature wear of the chord.
  • Figure 6 shows a view of how this chord runs through the joint. The use of a belt in stead of a chord is not excluded by the present invention.
  • the second set of wheels 23 which run on top of the guiding plates can have a separate axis, which is not identical with the axis of the first set of wheels 22.
  • Figure 7 shows the profile of the straight guide parts 2 and 3 according to the preferred embodiment.
  • the area 50 corresponds to the place where the extensions 32 of the side shell parts fit.
  • Area 51 is the area into which the additional extension 33 fits.
  • the position of area 51 is such that it is placed on the opposite side of any axis around which torsional forces operate on the interface between straight guide parts 2, 3 and the hinge joint 4. This feature allows therefore a better resistance to such torsional forces.
  • a screen structure which is generally characterised by the combination of the vertical guiding plates 20, 21 and the secondary set of wheels 23.
  • This can be done in a hinge joint of another design, for example having a single rotational axis, as will be appreciated by anyone skilled in the art.
  • the invention is therefore not limited to the particular design as described above and as shown in the drawings. It is also possible to have a screen with more than two guide members 1 and/or to have more than two straight guide parts (2,3) in each guide member and to provide hinge joints according to the invention, between adjacent guide parts.
  • the end member 7 may be designed - still according to the invention - so that it glides over the guiding plates, in stead of rolling over it.
  • the wheels 23 may be replaced by fixed cylinders or other structures, or they may be left out altogether, leaving the bare axes 25 to glide over the guiding plates 20 and 21.
