Definitions

  • the invention is based on a device for automatic Close windows, doors, flaps, panels or the like according to the genus of the main claim.
  • German patent specification 127 236 is one Generic window closing device known in which a window pivotable about a horizontal axis over a corresponding window closer can be operated, wherein in Locking position a locking hook attached to the window sash for locking in an eyelet arranged on the window frame reaches, then to open the wing via an Cord engaging striker to be unlocked.
  • the invention has for its object to obtain a device for automatic closing, which works simply, is adjustable in terms of closing time and damping and has additional security against burglary.
  • This object is achieved by the device described in the main claim.
  • This device according to the invention has the advantage that, in addition to the locking device, the usual arbitrarily operable locking device is present, which is actuated by a handle, so that after opening this locking means and inclination of the window sash and its automatic closing by the device again a lock, for example, against burglary given is. Because the start of the closing movement can be determined, a different setting can advantageously be made depending on the season, but depending on the size of the room and the desired ventilation quality, a different opening duration can also be achieved if desired.
  • the changeability of the force of the spring for the closing process ensures, above all, that a given device can be used for different window sizes and can be supplied accordingly, whereby the setting of the spring force in the case of lighter windows prevents them from opening undesirably hard when closing and on the other hand achieved that with heavy windows, the spring force is still sufficient to really close the windows, ie the acceleration, which the locking device experiences during the closing process due to the proportional relationship, can be adjusted via the force.
  • the smaller the force the smaller the acceleration and the slower the closure device closes.
  • the speed of the closing process can thus be adjusted via the force of the spring, which is transmitted to the closing device via the traction means.
  • the device is advantageously of relatively simple construction and consists of only a few parts. Your manufacture, and their assembly are therefore simple and inexpensive perform.
  • the basic version is a purely mechanical device, which is therefore no electrical Consumes energy.
  • the possible uses of the Locking devices are versatile. For example, you can Windows, doors, flaps, panels or sliders arranged become.
  • the locking device is in its handling simple. By opening the window, the on the shaft arranged spring deflected. The resulting one Spring force ensures that the window is automatically in the on the setting device closes again. On this way it can be excluded that once opened window remains open unintentionally for a long time and thus gives burglars a chance to enter or in bad weather, cold air, rain or snow can penetrate.
  • a window opened unintentionally for a long time Inflow of cold air what a through a thermostat Controlled heating inside the room causes more to heat.
  • the window is advantageously through the Locking device according to the invention after a preselected Time closes automatically so that the energy consumption of the Heating can be minimized, which on the one hand Heating costs are reduced and secondly the environment is spared.
  • Drive device in a known manner as in the generic locking device on the window, so not on Window frames arranged. This simplifies unlocking when opening the window, as well as the design of the Locking device itself.
  • the drive device has one with the traction means interacting shaft on which is via the spring is driven, which in turn according to the Closing process is changeable in its force.
  • the closure device is in about a horizontal axis a tiltable window, for example a Windows of toilets, bathrooms, living rooms or bedrooms or offices or a pivoting roof window.
  • a pull rope serves as a traction cable.
  • a pull rope is light rollable and flexible.
  • timing element apart from a conceivable remote control arbitrarily adjustable.
  • the drive device by means of a locking device can be switched off, so that the window as in normal operation can be opened or closed without going through the Drive unit to be disabled.
  • the closing process only by the characteristic and Force of the spring determined. This makes it possible to use the spring can also be used as a reverse brake.
  • the spring is designed as a tension spring and in a cavity integrated into the frame. This makes it possible to Largely to integrate the device into the window frame, which is particularly important in the production of plastic or Metal windows is an advantage.
  • unlocking takes place via the locking mechanism of the Window or the locking mechanism is in the area of vertical pivot axis of the window arranged.
  • the locking mechanism of the Window or the locking mechanism is in the area of vertical pivot axis of the window arranged.
  • the locking or unlocking works with at least one Electromagnets, thereby locking or unlocking control centrally but also for several windows at the same time can.
  • Fig. 1 shows a pivotable about a horizontal axis 2 Window 1 through one on window 1 and on the window frame 4 articulated strut 3 is held in a tilt position. about a hook 5, the pull rope 6 is attached to the window frame 4 and with the closing device 7 arranged at the window connected. With the help of a cord 8 the window can be opened and the one in the locking device 7 is in this Unrecognizable latches are unlocked.
  • Fig. 2 shows the locking device 7 with pull rope 6 and cord 8 from above.
  • the pull rope 6 is over a Deflection roller 11 out and with one end on one Winding plate 9 wound, which in turn is connected to a spring 10 is articulated. Opening the window will make part of the Pull rope 6 released from the winding plate 9.
  • the the resulting spring force acts on the winding plate 9 and causes it to move in the opposite direction turn so that the pull rope 6 on the winding plate 9 again wound up. So that between spring force and released Traction rope is an almost linear relationship, is the Spring in the starting position of the closed window biased.
  • Externally adjustable brake 16 is arranged, via which the Acceleration with which the spring drives the winding plate, is adjustable. How fast depends on this acceleration the window closes. Because the force on the pull rope too the guide roller 11 is transferred, it is well stored and robust design. To minimize losses, that is Deflection roller relatively large, and has a certain weight on. At the end of the pull rope facing the window is a Ring arranged, the retraction of the unhitched pull rope prevented in the locking device.
  • When closing the Window 1 is a bolt 12 via a spring 13 in a Window locking position pressed. By pulling on the The cord 12 is guided over a deflection roller 17 released and the window can be opened. The The spring force is so great that the Latch on the frame is guaranteed.
