Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gelenkarmmarkise gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an articulated arm awning according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Derartige Markisen sind seit langem und in den verschiedensten Ausführungen bekannt.Such awnings have long been known and in various designs.

Alls bisher bekannten Gelenkarmmarkisen hatten mindestens zwei Gelenkarme mit mindestens jeweils zwei Schenkeln, die einmal miteinander am Knickgelenk und an ihren anderen Enden jeweils gelenkig mit einer Konsole oder dergl. an der Wand- oder Deckenbefestigung und zum anderen mit der Fallstange oder Ausfallstange verbunden sind. Mindestens das Knickgelenk weist eine das Gelenk überspannende, eine Spreiz- oder Streckkraft erzeugende Federvorrichtung auf. So zeigt z.B. die DE-A 32 43 025 eine Gelenkarmmarkise mit mehreren Gelenkarmen, bei welcher Gasdruckfedern zwischen gebäudefestem Querrohr und den innen liegenden Schenkein der Gelenkarme oder/und zwischen den außenliegenden Schenkein der Gelenkarme und der Fallstange angeordnet sind, wobei die Federspannung beim Ausfahren der Markise ständig zunimmt.All previously known articulated arm awnings had at least two articulated arms, each with at least two legs, which are articulated to one another at the articulated joint and at their other ends to a bracket or the like on the wall or ceiling mount and on the other to the drop bar or extension bar. At least the articulated joint has a spring device that spans the joint and generates a spreading or stretching force. For example, DE-A 32 43 025 an articulated arm awning with several articulated arms, in which gas pressure springs are arranged between the fixed cross tube and the inner legs of the articulated arms and / or between the outer legs of the articulated arms and the drop bar, the spring tension constantly increasing when the awning is extended .

Diese Art von Gelenkarmmarkisen ist normalerweise für größere Breiten und weit ausladende Markisen brauchbar. Will man jedoch besonders schmale , jedoch weit ausladende Markisen bauen, dann kommt man über eine gewisse Mindestbreite nicht zu kleineren Breitenabmessungen, da sich die beiden Gelenkarme gegenseitig behindern würden.This type of articulated arm awning is usually useful for larger widths and wide-reaching awnings. However, if you want to build particularly narrow, but protruding awnings, you will not be able to achieve smaller width dimensions over a certain minimum width, since the two articulated arms would interfere with each other.

Eine für etwas schmalere Markisen vorgeschlagene Lösung offenbart die DE 29 04 884 C2. Bei der dort offenbarten Gelenkarmmarkise sind die Gelenkarme in übereinanderliegenden Ebenen angeordnet, so daß sie sich beim Einfahren der Markise nicht behindern. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß dadurch die Bauhöhe der Markise wesentlich größer wird.DE 29 04 884 C2 discloses a solution proposed for somewhat narrower awnings. In the articulated arm awning disclosed there, the articulated arms are arranged in superimposed levels so that they do not interfere with the retracting of the awning. However, this has the disadvantage that this increases the overall height of the awning.

Eine andere Lösung zeigt die DE 27 43 748. Dort ist eine Gelenkarmmarkise offenbart, bei der die Schwenkachse eines Gelenkarmes an der Ausfallstange unter Federvorspannung verschiebbar gelagert ist und nach der Seite ausweichen kann. Bei dieser Lösung ist der Gewinn an verringerter Breitenabmessung oft nicht ausreichend.Another solution is shown in DE 27 43 748. There is an articulated arm awning discloses, in which the pivot axis of an articulated arm is slidably mounted on the drop rod under spring preload and can dodge to the side. With this solution, the gain in reduced width is often not sufficient.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht darin, eine Gelenkarmmarkise der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit der sich wesentlich geringere Breitenabmessungen erzielen lassen, ohne daß dabei die Bauhöhe erhöht zu werden braucht.The object on which the invention is based is to create an articulated arm awning of the type mentioned at the beginning with which substantially smaller width dimensions can be achieved without the overall height having to be increased.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the features of patent claim 1.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den weiteren Patentansprüchen zu entnehmen.Further refinements of the invention can be found in the further patent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nunmehr anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles in Verbindung mit der beigefügten Zeichnung näher beschrieben.The invention will now be described in more detail using an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

In der Zeichnung erkennt man ein Gehäuse 1, in dem eine Tuchwelle 2 drehbar gelagert ist, die in üblicher Weise durch einen (nicht gezeigten) Antrieb zum Ein- und Ausfahren der Markise angetrieben werden kann. Das auf dieser Tuchwelle aufwickelbare Markisentuch 3 ist an seinem äußeren Ende in üblicher Weise an einer Fallstange 4 befestigt. Der Gelenkarm 5, der hier aus zwei Teilen besteht, nämlich den Gelenkarmschenkeln 6 und 7, ist oben durch ein Gelenk 8 am Gehäuse verschwenkbar angebracht, besitzt in der Mitte ein Knickgelenk 9 und ist durch das Fallstangengelenk 10 mit der Fallstange 4 verbunden.In the drawing, a housing 1 can be seen in which a fabric shaft 2 is rotatably mounted, which can be driven in the usual way by a drive (not shown) for extending and retracting the awning. The awning fabric 3, which can be wound on this fabric shaft, is fastened at its outer end in the usual manner to a drop bar 4. The articulated arm 5, which here consists of two parts, namely the articulated arm legs 6 and 7, is pivotally attached to the top of the housing by a joint 8, has an articulated joint 9 in the middle and is connected to the drop rod 4 by the drop rod joint 10.

Selbstverständlich kann ein solcher Gelenkarm auch aus mehr als zwei Schenkeln bestehen, insbesondere dann, wenn es sich um weit ausladende Gelenkarmmarkisen handelt. Weiterhin müssen die Schenkel auch keines-falls gleich lang sein.Of course, such an articulated arm can also consist of more than two Legs exist, especially when it comes to articulated arm awnings. Furthermore, the legs do not have to be the same length.

Die für die Aus- und Einfahrbewegung erforderlichen Antriebsvorrichtungen sind selbstverständlich ebenfalls vorgesehen.The drive devices required for the extension and retraction movement are of course also provided.

Wesentlich an dieser neuen Konstruktion ist es, daß nur ein Gelenkarm vorhanden ist.It is essential to this new construction that there is only one articulated arm.

Um dies zu ermöglichen, schließt sich an das Fallstangengelenk 10 ein weiterer Schenkelabschnitt 11 an, der jedoch auch in die Fallstange selbst integriert sein kann.In order to make this possible, a further leg section 11 connects to the drop bar joint 10, which, however, can also be integrated into the drop bar itself.

Bekanntlich sind für Gelenkarme dieser Art Federvorrichtungen vorgesehen, durch die an den Gelenken eine Streckkraft erzeugt wird,so daß beim Ausfahren oder Einfahren der Gelenkarmmarkise der Gelenkarm sich streckt bzw. einknickt.As is known, spring devices are provided for articulated arms of this type, by means of which a stretching force is generated at the joints, so that the articulated arm stretches or buckles when the articulated arm awning is extended or retracted.

Bisher war es jedoch nicht möglich, eine einarmige Gelenkarmmarkise her-zustellen. Dieses schwierige Problem wurde dadurch gelöst, daß außer den normalerweise vorgesehenen Federvorrichtungen auch am Fallstangengelenk 10 eine Federvorrichtung vorgesehen ist.So far, however, it has not been possible to produce a single-arm articulated arm awning. This difficult problem has been solved in that, in addition to the spring devices normally provided, a spring device is also provided on the drop bar joint 10.

In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel erkennt man zunächst im Gelenkarmschenkel 6 eine erste Federvorrichtung 12, die über eine Zugverbindung um das Knickgelenk 9 herum im Gelenkarmschenkel 7 befestigt ist. Ferner erkennt man eine weitere Federvorrichtung 13 sowie eine Federvorrichtung 14, deren Zweck jetzt näher erläutert werden soll.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, a first spring device 12 can first be seen in the articulated arm arm 6, which is fastened in the articulated arm arm 7 via a train connection around the articulated joint 9. A further spring device 13 and a spring device 14 can also be seen, the purpose of which will now be explained in more detail.

Die Federvorrichtung 13 ist über eine weitere Zugverbindung, die um das Gelenk 8 herumführt, im Innern des Gehäuses 1 verankert.The spring device 13 is anchored in the interior of the housing 1 via a further train connection, which leads around the joint 8.

Weiterhin ist eine zusätzliche Federvorrichtung 14 dargestellt, die über eine um das Fallstangengelenk 10 herumführende Zugverbindung in dem weiteren Schenkel 11 bzw. bei dessen Integration mit der Fallstange 4 in dieser verankert ist. Das Fallstangengelenk 10 ist außerdem über einen Bügel 16 mit der Fallstange verbunden. Der Schenkel 11, der im Prinzip auch länger oder kürzer als dargestellt sein kann, ist zudem bei 15 mit der Fallstange 1 verbunden. Die zusätzliche Federvorrichtung 14 bewirkt somit, daß das Markisentuch immer straffgezogen wird. Die Fallstange 4, die möglicherweise zum seitlichen Abkippen neigen könnte, wird durch den Schenkel 11 und den Bügel 16 in ihrer horizontalen Lage stabilisiert.Furthermore, an additional spring device 14 is shown, which is anchored in the further leg 11 via a train connection leading around the drop rod joint 10 or when integrated with the drop rod 4 in the latter. The drop bar joint 10 is also connected to the drop bar via a bracket 16. The leg 11, which in principle can also be longer or shorter than shown, is also connected to the drop bar 1 at 15. The additional spring device 14 thus causes the awning fabric to always be pulled tight. The drop bar 4, which could possibly tilt to the side, is stabilized in its horizontal position by the leg 11 and the bracket 16.

Es ist ferner möglich, die Federn 13 und 14 und ihre Zugverbindungen um die Gelenke 9 und 8 zusammenzufassen, so daß eine die drei Gelenke überspannende Zugverbindung entsteht. Ebenso können die Federvorrichtungen 12 und 14 zusammengefaßt werden, so daß eine nur die Gelenke 9 und 10 umfassende Zugverbindung gebildet wird.It is also possible to combine the springs 13 and 14 and their train connections around the joints 9 and 8, so that a train connection spanning the three joints is created. Likewise, the spring devices 12 and 14 can be combined so that a train connection comprising only the joints 9 and 10 is formed.

Es sind hier zwar Zugfedern dargestellt, die jedoch nur als Ausführungsbeispiel anzusehen sind. Selbstverständlich können die hier nur beispielhaft angedeuteten Schraubenfedern auch durch andere Federvorrichtungen, wie z.B. Spiralfedern, Blattfedern oder Gasfedern oder auch durch Gasdruckstoßdämpfer auf das jeweilige Gelenk eine Streckkraft ausüben, so daß beim Ausfahren und beim Einfahren der Markise der Gelenkarm sich entweder streckt oder einknickt.Tension springs are shown here, but are only to be regarded as an exemplary embodiment. Of course, the coil springs indicated here only by way of example can also be used by other spring devices, e.g. Coil springs, leaf springs or gas springs or gas pressure shock absorbers exert a stretching force on the respective joint, so that when the awning is extended and retracted, the articulated arm either stretches or kinks.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Federvorrichtungen bereits unter einer gewissen Vorspannung eingebaut sind. Von besonderem Vorteil ist es dabei: wenn auch noch Nachstellmöglichkeiten für die einzelnen Federvorrichtungen vorgesehen sind, wodurch insbesondere die auf das Fallstangengelenk einwirkende Federvorrichtung auf die richtige Lage der Fallstange einjustierbar ist.It is particularly advantageous if the spring devices are already installed under a certain pretension. It is particularly advantageous here if adjustment options are also provided for the individual spring devices, as a result of which in particular the spring device acting on the drop bar joint can be adjusted to the correct position of the drop bar.

Außerdem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zwischen Fallstange und Fallstangengelenk noch eine Höhenverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen ist, mit deren Hilfe die Lage der Fallstange ggf. zusätzlich stabilisiert werden kann.In addition, it is advantageous if a height adjustment device is also provided between the drop bar and drop bar joint, with the aid of which the position of the drop bar can optionally be additionally stabilized.

In der Zeichnung ist der Gelenkarm mit seinen zwei Gelenkarmschenkeln nach rechts einknickend dargestellt. Selbstverständlich kann der Gelenkarm genauso gut nach links einknickend aufgebaut sein.In the drawing, the articulated arm is shown with its two articulated arm legs buckling to the right. Of course, the articulated arm can equally well be designed to bend to the left.

Sämtliche sonst normalerweise bei Gelenkarmmarkisen vorhandenen Antriebsvorrichtungen, insbesondere Vorrichtungen zur Verstellung der Neigung der Markise sowie Hochschlagsicherungen und dergl. sind selbstverständlich ebenfalls vorgesehen.All of the drive devices normally present in articulated arm awnings, in particular devices for adjusting the inclination of the awning, as well as anti-roll-ups and the like, are of course also provided.

Durch diese neuartige Konstruktion wird somit eine Gelenkarmmarkise geschaffen, deren maximale Breite nur von der Breite der einzelnen Gelenkarmschenkel bestimmt wird. Will man daher zu sehr geringen Breiten jedoch weit ausladenden Gelenkarmmarkisen kommen, so wird man in an sich bekannter Weise Gelenkarme mit drei, vier oder fünf Gelenkarmschenkeln vorsehen. In diesem Fall würden die einzelnen Schenkel an ihren Gelenken derart miteinander verbunden sein, daß sich beim Einfahren die einzelnen Schenkel des Gelenkarmes zickzackförmig aneinanderlegen. Dabei müßten die einzelnen, die verschiedenen Knickgelenke und das Fallstangengelenk überspannenden, eine Streckkraft erzeugenden Federvorrichtungen, entsprechend angeordnet sein. Dies stellt für den Fachmann jedoch kein Problem dar.This new construction thus creates an articulated arm awning, the maximum width of which is determined only by the width of the individual articulated arm legs. If one therefore wants to achieve very narrow widths but widely protruding articulated arm awnings, articulated arms with three, four or five articulated arm legs are provided in a manner known per se. In this case, the individual legs would be connected to one another at their joints in such a way that the individual legs of the articulated arm lay against one another in a zigzag shape when retracted. The individual spring devices, which span the various articulated joints and the drop bar joint and generate a stretching force, would have to be arranged accordingly. However, this is not a problem for the person skilled in the art.
