Definitions

  • the invention relates to a screening device, comprising a supporting construction, provided with attaching means and at least one screening slat provided with an attaching part, such that the screening slat may be fixed to the attaching means of the supporting construction by means of the attaching part at a predetermined angle, said attaching part comprising a first snapping element intended to be fixed to the screening slat, and said attaching means comprise a second snapping element intended to be fixed to the supporting construction, the first and the second snapping element being intended to be snapped together, in order to fix the screening slat to the supporting construction.
  • screenings are known, where a kind of a fork should first be placed on the slat or on the supporting construction, after which the fork must be placed onto the supporting construction, the slat into the fork respectively.
  • a system is described in GB 2 126 708 in which a screening unit for ventilation openings is described, a supporting construction being provided for onto which elements are applied for supporting screening slats, these elements being provided with attaching means for attaching an attaching part, which has been provided for on a screening slat.
  • the attaching means and the attaching part have been arranged in such a manner that the screening slats may be applied to the supporting construction at a certain angle, which is selected from several predetermined angles.
  • a cylindrical rib with a hollow part being slid onto a star-shaped rail, alternatively an elastic arm may be pushed onto the supporting part in a channel of the screening slat.
  • separating walls of variable length are slid into their positions.
  • EP 1 130 210 in which a sunshade device is described which is provided with holders for slats, the holders comprising a holder part which may be attached to a sectional supporting part, and comprising a wing part which may be attached to the holder part at different angles, this wing part having at least one mounting arm for the slat to be fixed.
  • a connecting piece has been provided on the wing part, which has been further provided with a central gudgeon which fits into a corresponding central opening provided for in the holder part. Further, smaller gudgeons have been provided for along the circumference of the connecting piece, which fit in corresponding smaller recesses of the holding part. In this manner, the slat may be attached to the holders at different angles.
  • the disadvantage of this device is, that providing gudgeons, which fit into corresponding openings is not very strong, because there is only a small contact surface between the holding part and the wing part and that a shear load occurs.
  • the objective of the invention is to provide for a screening device not having the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • a screening device comprising a supporting construction provided with attaching means and at least one screening slat provided with an attaching part, such that the screening slat may be fixed to the attaching means of the supporting construction, by means of the attaching part at a predetermined angle, said attaching part comprising a first snapping element intended to be fixed on to the screening slat and said attaching means comprise a second snapping element being intended to be fixed onto the supporting construction, the first and the second snapping elements being intended to be snapped together, in order to fix the screening slat onto the supporting construction, but the first snapping element comprising at least one projection corresponding to at least one groove of the second snapping element.
  • the first snapping element comprises several projections, which correspond to several grooves of the second snapping element, in order to be able to snap the first snapping element onto the second snapping element in different positions.
  • the snapping connection between the first and second snapping element may be strengthened by means of a screwed connection.
  • the first snapping element is provided with at least one tooth and a first groove
  • the second snapping element is provided with at least one second groove, an arm and a hook, the tooth being intended to be introduced into the second groove and the hook being intended to be snapped into the first groove by elastic deformation of the arm.
  • first snapping element may be snapped into the second snapping element in different positions.
  • the supporting construction may be placed both in a vertical and in a horizontal position as well as at any angle.
  • the screening device according to the invention is made of aluminium.
  • a first snapping element (2) in the shape of a fork section with several projections (3) is fixed onto a screening slat by means of rivets (8).
  • a second snapping element (6) having grooves (7) which correspond to the projections (3) of the first snapping element (2) is fixed onto the supporting construction (4) by means of a bolt or screw (5).
  • the screening slat (1) may be fixed onto the supporting construction (4) at an angle of 90°, as represented in figure 1a, at an angle of 67,5°, as represented in figure 1b or at an angle of 45°, as represented in figure 1c, by snapping the first snapping element (2) into the second snapping element (6).
  • the snapping connection between the first (2) and the second snapping element (6) is strengthened by tightening a setscrew (9).
  • a first snapping element (24) in the shape of a sectional fork is fixed to the screening slat (1) by means of a rivet (8).
  • the second snapping element (21) is fixed to the supporting construction (4) by means of a bolt or screw (5).
  • the second snapping element (21) has been provided with two second grooves (31a, 31b), an arm (32) with a hook (33), while the first snapping element (24) has been provided with a tooth (34) and a first groove (35), as represented in figure 3b.
  • the tooth (34) is brought into one of the two second grooves (31a, 31b), depending on the installing position desired.
  • the screening slat (1) may be snapped onto the supporting construction at an angle of 45°, as represented in figure 2b and at an angle of 90°, as represented in figure 2c.
  • the supporting construction (4) may be installed both in a vertical and in a horizontal way as well as at any angle.
  • the screening device (10, 20) is made of aluminium, but this does not prevent any other materials from being used as well.
  • Such a screening device (10, 20) may be easily installed by only one person, and that all fixing materials such as bolts, screws, rivets, etc. are concealed.
  • Such a screening device (10, 20) may be applied, among others, for sunshades, but there are other fields of application as well.
