Abstract

A curtain system includes several flat panels made of curtain fabric or other planar materials. The top of each flat panel is provided with a horizontal metal, wood or plastic horizontal slat on which the curtain fabric or flat panel hangs in a loose manner. Both ends of the horizontal slat include a fastening device for rollers or sliders. The rollers or sliders at one end of each horizontal slat are guided inside a first common track, while the rollers or sliders located on the other end of each horizontal slat are guided inside a second common track, such that the flat panels can be slid on top of each other. The flat panels extend at an acute angle relative to the first and second common tracks and can be slid on top of each other until the flat panels nearly overlap when the first and second common tracks are mounted parallel to each other, because the fastening device therefore is designed so that the fastening device does not laterally protrude from the horizontal slat or the alignment thereof.

Description

Vorhanqsvstem mit mehreren flachen Paneelen Existing with several flat panels
[0001] Diese Erfindung betrifft ein Vorhangsystem für das Aufhängen von flachen Paneelen, zum Beispiel aus Vorhangstoff. Modernes Wohnen stellt an die Vorhangsysteme erhöhte Anforderungen. Mit dem Einsatz von flachen Vorhangsystemen, also solchen, bei denen der Vorhangstoff nicht mehr schlangenlinienförmig hängt, sondern flache Elemente oder Paneele bildet, kann mehr Licht in einen Raum gelangen und es lassen sich andere optische Effekte und insbesondere eine moderne Ambiance erzielen. Die Vorhänge dienen ja nicht bloss zum Verhindern, dass jemand von draussen in das Hausinnere sehen kann, sondern sind wesentliche Stilelemente, welche Wärme und Atmosphäre verströmen und ein besonderes Design prägen sollen. Bei lichtdurchfluteten Räumen mit grossen Fensterfronten werden die Vorhänge mit Vorliebe über die ganze Raumbreite gezogen. Trotzdem sollen derartige Flächenvorhänge bei Bedarf zur Seite geschoben werden können, um etwa ein Fenster oder eine Sitzplatz-Türe öffnen zu können, oder ganz einfach um den Blick nach draussen freizugeben oder einen günstigen Lichteinfall zu gewährleisten. Bei den bekannten Vorhangsystemen für Flachpaneele unterscheidet man solche, bei denen die Vorhangstoffe in viereckige Rahmen eingespannt werden und solche, bei denen die Paneele aus vorwiegend flachen Textiistücken frei an einem Wagen hängen, welcher in Schienenläufen einer Vorhangschiene hängt und längs derselben verschiebbar ist. Dieser Paneelwagen ist hierfür mit mindestens zwei Gleitern oder Rollen in einer Vorhangschiene aufgehängt und geführt, die in der Regel parallel zum Fenster montiert wird. Weil die Paneele an einer einzelnen Vorhangschiene, das heisst an einem einzelnen Schienenlauf einander nicht kreuzen und somit einander nicht überlappen können, sondern bestenfalls aneinandergeschoben werden können, wird in der Regel für jedes Paneel eine gesonderte Vorhangschiene bzw. ein gesonderter Schienenlauf benötigt und verlegt. Bei einer Paneelbreite von zum Beispiel 0,50 Meter und einer abzudeckenden Flächenbreite von 3,50 Metern braucht es mindestens sieben Schienenläufe, um diese Fläche überall mit einem Vorhangpaneel abzudecken, es sei denn, man stapelt die Paneele einzig links und rechts vom Fenster, was jedoch nachteilig ist. Soll an ein oder mehreren Stellen noch eine Überlappung erzielt werden, so sind gar acht oder noch mehr Schienenläufe nötig. Das Montieren dieser Vorhangschienen mit mehreren Schienenläufen ist einerseits mühsam und aufwändig wie eigentlich jede Deckenmontage. Aufgrund ihrer grossen Breite können Schienen mit einer Vielzahl von Schienenläufen auch ein Platzproblem verursachen und Schienen mit vielen Schienenläufen sind entsprechend teurer. Ausserdem wirken Schienen mit mehreren Schienenläufen an einer Decke schwerfällig und stören die Schlichtkeit, welche ein Flä- chenvorhangsystem ausstrahlen soll.This invention relates to a curtain system for hanging flat panels, for example made of curtain fabric. Modern living places increased demands on the curtain systems. With the use of flat curtain systems, i.e. those in which the curtain fabric no longer hangs in a serpentine shape, but instead forms flat elements or panels, more light can enter a room and other optical effects and in particular a modern ambience can be achieved. The curtains are not just used to prevent someone from looking into the house from the outside, but are essential style elements that exude warmth and atmosphere and are supposed to shape a special design. In light-flooded rooms with large window fronts, the curtains are drawn across the entire width of the room. Nevertheless, such panel curtains should be able to be pushed aside, if necessary, to be able to open a window or a seat door, for example, or simply to expose the view outside or to ensure a favorable incidence of light. In the known curtain systems for flat panels, a distinction is made between those in which the curtain materials are clamped in square frames and those in which the panels of predominantly flat pieces of textile hang freely on a carriage which hangs in the rails of a curtain rail and can be moved along the same. For this purpose, this panel trolley is suspended and guided in a curtain rail with at least two sliders or rollers, which are usually parallel to the window is assembled. Because the panels on a single curtain track, i.e. on a single track run, cannot cross each other and therefore cannot overlap, but at best can be pushed together, a separate curtain track or a separate track run is usually required and installed for each panel. With a panel width of 0.50 meters, for example, and an area width of 3.50 meters to be covered, at least seven rail runs are required to cover this area with a curtain panel, unless you only stack the panels to the left and right of the window, what however, is disadvantageous. If an overlap is to be achieved at one or more points, eight or even more rail runs are necessary. Assembling these curtain rails with multiple rail runs is on the one hand laborious and time-consuming like practically every ceiling installation. Due to their large width, rails with a large number of rail runs can also cause a space problem and rails with a large number of rail runs are correspondingly more expensive. In addition, rails with several rail runs on a ceiling appear cumbersome and disrupt the simplicity that a panel curtain system should radiate.
[0002] Es sind Flächenvorhangsysteme bekanntgeworden, welche mit einer Schiene mit nur zwei parallelen Schienenläufen auskommen. Die zugehörigen Wagen sind dann im Bereich des einen Endes auf ihrer Oberseite in den ersten Schienenlauf eingehängt und im Bereich des anderen Endes auf ihrer Oberseite in den zweiten Schienenlauf eingehängt. Die bekannten Konstruktionen wirken jedoch schwerfällig, weil die Paneele, wenn sie auf eine Seite zusammengeschoben sind, einen dicken Stapel bilden. Wenn die beiden Vorhangschienenläufe relativ nahe nebeneinander liegen, laufen die einzelnen Wagen in sehr spitzem Winkel zu denselben und sie können nur teilweise überlappend zusammengeschoben werden. Die Wagen der herkömmlichen Systeme müssen vor dem Verlegen der Schiene an der Zimmerdecke in deren Schienenläufe eingeführt werden und können anschliessend nicht mehr aus den Schienenläufen ausgefahren werden. Deshalb können die Vorhänge nicht mit einem Hohlsaum auf einen solchen Wagen aufgestülpt werden, sonst wären sie zum Zwecke einer Waschung nicht mehr von denselben abnehmbar. Die Wagen sind deshalb auf ihrer einen Längsseite oft mit einem Klettband ausgerüstet, an welches der Vorhangstoff eines zugehöriges Vorhangpaneeies mittels eines an den Stoffrand angenähten Klettbandes angedrückt werden kann. Zum Waschen der Vorhangstoffe können die einzelnen Vorhangpaneelstoffe von den Wagen unter Lösung des Klettverschlusses weggerissen werden und nach dem Waschen wieder auf die Wagen angedrückt werden. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die Klettbänder nach einigen Waschvorgängen nicht mehr straff hängen, sodass die Haltekraft reduziert ist und das zugehörige Vorhangpaneel nicht mehr schön eben fällt.Panel curtain systems have become known which make do with one rail with only two parallel rail runs. The associated carriages are then suspended in the area of one end on their top in the first rail run and in the area of the other end on their top in the second rail run. However, the known constructions seem cumbersome because the panels, when pushed together on one side, form a thick stack. If the two curtain rail runs are relatively close to each other, the individual carriages run at a very acute angle to them and they can only be pushed together to overlap. The trolleys of the conventional systems must be inserted into the rail tracks before the rail is laid on the ceiling and can then no longer be moved out of the rail runs. Therefore, the curtains cannot be put on such a carriage with a hemstitch, otherwise they would no longer be removable from them for the purpose of washing. The carriages are therefore on one Long side often equipped with a Velcro tape to which the curtain fabric of an associated curtain panel can be pressed using a Velcro tape sewn onto the edge of the fabric. To wash the curtain fabrics, the individual curtain panel fabrics can be torn away from the trolleys using the Velcro fastener and pressed back onto the trolleys after washing. However, it has been shown that the Velcro strips no longer hang taut after a few washing processes, so that the holding force is reduced and the associated curtain panel no longer falls flat.
[0003] Insgesamt vermögen die bestehenden Flächenvorhangsysteme aus verschiedenen technischen Gründen nicht voll zu überzeugen. Erstens ist ihre Montage aufwändig. Zweitens wirken die Vorhangpaneele schwerfällig, weil die zugehörigen Wagen konstruktionsbedingt relativ dick sind und besonders beim Zusammenfahren der Paneele auf einer Fensterseite einen dicken Stapel bilden, was sich besonders negativ auswirkt, wenn die beiden Vorhangschienenläufe relativ wenig voneinander beabstandet sind. Dann nämlich können die einzelnen Paneele nur beschränkt überlapperd zusammengeschoben werden. Drittens ist die Herstellung dieser Flächenvorhangsysteme infolge der aufwändigen Konstruktion mit Klettbändern zu teuer. Schliesslich ist auch das Entfernen der einmal montierten Wagen bei den herkömmlichen Systemen kaum möglich, ohne die Schienenläufe zu demontieren.Overall, the existing panel curtain systems are not fully convincing for various technical reasons. First, their assembly is complex. Secondly, the curtain panels appear cumbersome because the associated carriages are relatively thick due to their construction and form a thick stack, particularly when the panels are moved together on one side of the window, which has a particularly negative effect if the two curtain rail tracks are spaced relatively little apart. Then the individual panels can only be pushed together with limited overlap. Thirdly, the production of these panel curtain systems is too expensive due to the complex construction using Velcro strips. After all, it is hardly possible to remove the wagons once they have been installed in conventional systems without dismantling the rail tracks.
[0004] Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Vorhangsystem anzugeben, das aus mehreren flachen Paneelen wie etwa aus Vorhangstoff oder anderem flächigen Material besteht und welches die oben aufgezeigten Nachteile beseitigt. Dabei soll es das Vorhangsystem insbesondere erlauben, die zugehörigen Aufhängestäbe jederzeit einfach von den Vorhangschienen entfernen zu können.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a curtain system which consists of several flat panels such as curtain material or other flat material and which eliminates the disadvantages shown above. The curtain system should in particular allow the associated suspension rods to be easily removed from the curtain rails at any time.

[0007] In Figur 1 ist das Vorhangsystem in seiner Anwendung dargestellt. Es schliesst eine Montageschiene mit zwei Schienenläufen 7;8 ein, die an eine Raumdecke 12 montiert sind, und die im gezeigten Beispiel für das verschiebbare Aufhängen von vier Flachpaneelen 9 dienen. Anstatt an der Raumdecke kann die Montageschiene auch an einem tiefer angeordneten Brett montiert sein oder selbst ein solches Brett bilden. Die Schienenläufe können sich auch in einer Rundstange befinden. Die beiden Schienenläufe 7;8 sind hier mit wenig Abstand voneinander parallel zueinander verlaufend und parallel zur oberen Raumecke verlaufend verlegt. Jedes Vorhangpaneel 9 besteht aus einem Paneelwagen mit einer Latte 1 aus Metall, Holz oder Kunststoff und einem daran aufgehängten Stück Vorhangstoff. Für das Aufhängen des Vorhangstoffes an der Latte 1 dient mit Vorteil ein Hohlsaum am oberen Rand des Vorhangstoffes. Der Vorhang kann dann mit diesem Hohlsaum einfach über die Latte 1 gestülpt werden. Er hängt dann frei nach unten und bildet ein flaches Paneel 9. Damit der Vorhangstoff möglichst faltenfrei hängt, kann der untere Saum in bekannter Weise mit Spanngewichten ausgerüstet sein, etwa mit einem in den unteren Hohlsaum eingeschobenen Beschwerungsstab. Die Latte 1 , an welcher der Vorhangstoff hängt, ist an ihren beidseitigen Enden mit Befestigungsmitteln 4 versehen, die je einen Haken einschliessen, der je an der Öse 11 eines Gleiters 6 einhängbar ist, der in einem Schienenlauf gleitet, oder an die Achse je eines Rollenpaares einhängbar ist, das im Innern der Schienenläufe 7;8 rollt. Die hier jeweils linken Enden 2 der Latten 1 sind durchwegs mit ihren Befestigungsmitteln 4 an den Gleitern 6 eingehängt, die im vorderen, dem Betrachter zugewandten Schienenlauf 7 gleiten. Die jeweils rechten Enden 3 der Latten 1 sind andrerseits durchwegs mit ihren Befestigungsmitteln 4 an den Gleitern 6 eingehängt, die im hinteren, dem Betrachter abgewandten Schienenlauf 8 der Montageschiene gleiten. Infolge dieser Anordnung hängen die einzelnen Paneele 9 zwangsläufig leicht schiefwinklig in Bezug auf die Verlaufrichtung der Schienenläufe 7,8 und der hinter dem Vorhang verlaufenden Raumwand oder Fensterwand. Bei einer Paneelbreite von zum Beispiel 50cm und einem Abstand der Schienenläufe 7;8 von Schienenlaufmitte zu Schie- nenlaufmitte von zum Beispiel 2cm ergibt sich ein Winkel von bloss 2,3° zur Verlaufrichtung der Schienenläufe. In der Figur sind als Beispiel vier Paneele 9 eingezeichnet. Die mittleren beiden hängen dabei in einer Position, in der sie sich um etwa einen Drittel überlappen. Zwischen den äusseren beiden Paneelen 9 und den beiden mittleren Paneelen 9 bleibt ein Spalt von etwa einem Drittel der Paneelbreite frei. Sämtliche Paneele 9 können längs der Schienenläufe 7;8 hin und her bewegt werden und die gezeigte Position der Paneele 9 ist bloss so gewählt, um die Einstell-Möglichkeiten aufzuzeigen. Es können zum Beispiel alle Paneele 9 ganz nach links oder ganz nach rechts geschoben werden, bis sie einander überlappen und ihre Latten 1 mit den daran hängenden Vorhangstoffen aneinander anschlagen. Die Paneeh 9 können an einer beliebigen zwischen diesen Endstellen liegenden Position ganz oder nur lose zusammengeschoben werden. Durch diese freie Verschiebbarkeit bis hin zu einer Überlappung mit dem benachbarten Paneel bieten sich viele Möglichkeiten für lichtgestalterische Effekte. Die Vorhangpaneele 9 können auch leicht verschoben werden, sodass etwa ein dahinter angeordnetes Fenster bei Bedarf geöffnet werden kann oder eine Balkon- oder Terrassentüre geöffnet werden kann und dann der Durchgang ins Freie gewährleistet ist. Hierzu kann eine mit zusätzlichen Gleitern versehene Zugleine dienen, wobei diese Gleiter zwischen den Gleitern 6 der Latten 1 in einem der beiden Schienenläufen 7;8 eingehängt sind. Die Zugleine erfasst und verschiebt mit jedem ihrer Gleiter je ein Paneel 9 und kann an mindestens einem ihrer Enden auch mit einem Ziehstab versehen sein.In Figure 1, the curtain system is shown in its application. It includes a mounting rail with two rail runs 7, 8, which are mounted on a ceiling 12 and which, in the example shown, serve for the displaceable hanging of four flat panels 9. Instead of on the ceiling, the mounting rail can also be mounted on a lower board or form such a board. The rail runs can also be in a round bar. The two rail runs 7, 8 are laid parallel to each other and running parallel to the upper corner of the room at a small distance from each other. Each curtain panel 9 consists of a panel carriage with a crossbar 1 made of metal, wood or plastic and a piece of curtain fabric suspended thereon. A hollow hem at the upper edge of the curtain fabric is advantageously used for hanging the curtain fabric on the crossbar 1. The curtain can then simply be put over the crossbar 1 with this hemstitch. It then hangs freely downward and forms a flat panel 9. In order that the curtain fabric hangs as crease-free as possible, the lower hem can be equipped in a known manner with tensioning weights, for example with a weighting rod inserted into the lower hemstitch. The crossbar 1, on which the curtain fabric hangs, is provided at both ends with fastening means 4, each of which includes a hook, which can be hung on the eyelet 11 of a slider 6, which slides in a rail run, or on the axis one Is pair of rollers can be hooked, which rolls inside the rail runs 7; 8. The ends 2 of the slats 1, which are in each case on the left here, are suspended with their fastening means 4 on the sliders 6, which slide in the front rail run 7 facing the viewer. The respective right ends 3 of the slats 1 are on the other hand consistently attached with their fastening means 4 to the sliders 6, which are in the rear, the viewer slide away from the rail 8 of the mounting rail. As a result of this arrangement, the individual panels 9 inevitably hang at a slightly oblique angle with respect to the direction of the rail runs 7, 8 and the room wall or window wall running behind the curtain. With a panel width of, for example, 50 cm and a distance of the rail runs 7; 8 from the center of the rail run to the center of the rail run of, for example, 2 cm, there is an angle of just 2.3 ° to the direction of the rail runs. In the figure, four panels 9 are shown as an example. The middle two hang in a position in which they overlap by about a third. A gap of approximately one third of the panel width remains free between the outer two panels 9 and the two middle panels 9. All panels 9 can be moved back and forth along the rail runs 7, 8 and the position of the panels 9 shown is merely chosen to show the setting options. For example, all panels 9 can be pushed all the way to the left or all the way to the right until they overlap one another and strike their slats 1 together with the curtain fabrics attached to them. The panes 9 can be pushed together completely or only loosely at any position lying between these end points. This freedom of movement up to an overlap with the neighboring panel offers many possibilities for lighting design effects. The curtain panels 9 can also be moved slightly so that, for example, a window arranged behind them can be opened if necessary or a balcony or terrace door can be opened and the passage into the open is then ensured. For this purpose, a pull line provided with additional sliders can be used, these sliders being suspended between the sliders 6 of the slats 1 in one of the two rail runs 7; 8. The pull line detects and displaces a panel 9 with each of its sliders and can also be provided with a pull rod at at least one of its ends.
[0008] In Figur 2 ist das hier linke Ende 2 einer Latte 1 mit dem Befestigungsmittel 4 und dem Gleiter 6 dargestellt. Das Befestigungsmittel 4 besteht hier aus einem Formstück, etwa aus Kunststoff oder Metall, welches von der Stirnseite 19 her mit einem Steckelement 18 in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 23 aus der Latte 1 in dieselbe einsteckbar ist. Es ist wichtig, dass das Befestigungsmittel 4 nicht breiter oder dicker als die Latte 1 selbst geformt ist, sodass die später leicht schiefwinklig zu der Vorhangschiene 7;8 verlaufenden Latten 1 vollständig aneinander geschoben werden können und der Abstand der Latten 1 nicht von den Befestigungsmitteln 4 begrenzt wird. Das hier gezeigte Befestigungsmittel 4 bildet nach oben einen Haken 10. Dieser ist an eine Öse 11 eines Gleiterstückes 6 einhängbar. Das Gleiterstück läuft in konventioneller Weise im Schienenlauf der Vorhangschiene. Die Öse 11 und der Haken 10 sind genügend weit geformt, sodass das Befestigungsmittel 4 gegenüber dem Schienenlauf 7;8, in dem es über den Gleiter 6 aufgehängt ist, etwas um die Vertikalachse verschwenkbar ist. Das Ende 15 des Hakens 10 kommt so nahe an das Ende der Latte 1 heran, dass die verbleibende lichte Weite kleiner ist als die Stärke der Öse 11 und diese dadurch nicht mehr aus dem Haken 10 herausfallen kann. Ausserdem kann der Vorhangstoff, welcher an seinem oberen Ende einen Hohlsaum aufweist, über die Latte 1 und hernach über deren Ende hinaus gezogen werden, sodass der Anfangsbereich des Hohlsaums im Bereich unterhalb des Hakens 10 zu liegen kommt. Im gezeigten Beispiel ist der Hohlsaum eines Vorhangpaneels angedeutet. Dieser Hohlsaum ist am oberen äusseren Ende mit einem Stich versehen, sodass eine kleine Absteppung 29 gebildet ist, wodurch diese obere äussere Ecke eine winzige Tasche 30 bildet. Wenn der Hohlsaum ganz über die Latte 1 nach links geschoben wird, so kommt diese Tasche 30 über die hier linke obere Ecke der Latte 1 zu liegen und überstülpt die dortige Ecke der Latte 1 , die ja einen Absatz 16 bildet. Dieser Absatz 16, welcher von der oberen Lattenecke gebildet wird, wirkt dann als Widerhaken für den Vorhangstoff und stellt sicher, dass dieser nicht auf der Latte 1 zurückrutschen kann. Genau dasselbe gilt auch für die andere Seite des Hohlsaumes und der Latte 1.In Figure 2, the left end 2 of a crossbar 1 with the fastener 4 and the slider 6 is shown here. The fastening means 4 here consists of a shaped piece, for example made of plastic or metal, which can be inserted from the end face 19 with a plug element 18 into a corresponding recess 23 from the crossbar 1. It is important that the fastener 4 is not wider or is shaped thicker than the slat 1 itself, so that the slats 1 which later run at a slightly oblique angle to the curtain rail 7; 8 can be pushed completely against one another and the distance between the slats 1 is not limited by the fastening means 4. The fastening means 4 shown here forms a hook 10 at the top. This can be attached to an eyelet 11 of a slider piece 6. The slider runs in a conventional way in the rail of the curtain rail. The eyelet 11 and the hook 10 are shaped sufficiently wide that the fastening means 4 can be pivoted somewhat about the vertical axis with respect to the rail run 7, 8, in which it is suspended via the slider 6. The end 15 of the hook 10 comes so close to the end of the crossbar 1 that the remaining clear width is smaller than the thickness of the eyelet 11 and this means that it can no longer fall out of the hook 10. In addition, the curtain material, which has a hemstitch at its upper end, can be pulled over the crossbar 1 and then beyond its end, so that the initial region of the hemstitch comes to lie in the region below the hook 10. In the example shown, the hemstitch of a curtain panel is indicated. This hemstitch is provided with a stitch at the upper outer end, so that a small stitching 29 is formed, as a result of which this upper outer corner forms a tiny pocket 30. If the hemstitch is pushed all the way to the left over the slat 1, this pocket 30 comes to lie over the upper left corner of the slat 1 here and slips over the corner of the slat 1 there, which forms a shoulder 16. This paragraph 16, which is formed by the upper slat corner, then acts as a barb for the curtain fabric and ensures that it cannot slide back on the slat 1. Exactly the same applies to the other side of the hemstitch and the crossbar 1.
[0009] Die Figur 3 zeigt ein alternatVes Befestigungsmittel 4. Dieses ist ebenfalls mittels eines Steckelementes 18 von der Stirnseite her in eine Ausnehmung 23 in der Latte 1 in dieselbe einsteckbar. Dieses Befestigungsmittel 4 ist allerdings anders geformt und weist einen Haken 10 auf, der einen längeren Hals 17 oder nach oben ragenden Teil einschliesst. Der Haken 10 ist nach schräg unten geöffnet und so bemessen, dass er an die Verbindungsachse 13 zwischen zwei zugehörigen Rollen 5 einhängbar ist. Das Rollenpaar 5 wird in den Schienenlauf einer Vor- hangschiene eingeführt, in welchem es in der Längsrichtung des Schienenlaufs abrollt.FIG. 3 shows an alternate fastening means 4. This can also be inserted into the recess 1 in the slat 1 by means of a plug element 18 from the front side. However, this fastening means 4 is shaped differently and has a hook 10, which includes a longer neck 17 or part projecting upwards. The hook 10 is opened obliquely downwards and is dimensioned such that it can be hung on the connecting axis 13 between two associated rollers 5. The pair of rollers 5 is in the rail run a slope rail introduced, in which it rolls in the longitudinal direction of the rail run.
[0010] Die Figuren 4 bis 10 zeigen verschiedene Varianten von Stirnseiten 19 für die Latten 1. Die Latten 1 in Figur 4 weisen stirnseitig zwei Einsteckbuchsen 22 auf, in welche entsprechende Einsteckstifte 18 an den Befestigungsmitteln 4 einsteckbar sind. In Figur 5 ist an der Stirnseite eine im Querschnitt rechteckige Ausnehmung 23 zu erkennen, in welche ein zugehöriges Steckelement einsteckbar ist. In Figur 6 ist die Ausnehmung 23 als eine im Querschnitt trapezförmige Nut gestaltet, die auf ihrer kleineren Trapezseite offen ist, das heisst es wird eine im Querschnitt schwalbenschwanzförmige Nut an der Latte 1 gebildet, in welche von der Stirnseite der Latte her ein Steckelement 18 eingesteckt werden kann. In FigurFigures 4 to 10 show different variants of end faces 19 for the slats 1. The slats 1 in Figure 4 have two plug-in sockets 22 on the end face, into which corresponding plug-in pins 18 can be inserted on the fastening means 4. In FIG. 5, a recess 23 with a rectangular cross section can be seen on the front side, into which an associated plug element can be inserted. In FIG. 6, the recess 23 is designed as a groove with a trapezoidal cross section, which is open on its smaller trapezoidal side, that is to say a groove with a dovetail cross section is formed on the crossbar 1, into which a plug-in element 18 is inserted from the front side of the crossbar can be. In figure
7 ist die Ausnehmung 23 wiederum rechteckig und im Innern der Latte 1 angeordnet, jedoch auf der einen Seite der Latte 1 mit einer geringem Weite offen. In Figur7, the recess 23 is again rectangular and arranged in the interior of the crossbar 1, but is open on one side of the crossbar 1 with a small width. In figure
8 weist die Latte 1 oben und unten je eine offene Einstecknut 23 auf, in welche entsprechende rechteckige Profilabschnitte 18 an den Befestigungsmitteln 4 einpassen. Figur 9 zeigt eine Variante der Latte 1 mit seitlich ausgenommener Nut von rechteckigem Querschnitt und Figur 10 zeigt schliesslich noch eine Latte mit auf beiden Seiten ausgenommenen Nuten mit je rechteckigem Querschnitt. Über diese beiden Nuten kann ein gabelförmiges Befestigungsmittel 4 eingesteckt werden, dessen Gabelschenkel 38 federnd sind und eine gewisse Vorspannung aufweisen, sodass die eingeschobene Gabel in den Nuten verklemmt wird.8, the slat 1 has an open insertion groove 23 at the top and bottom, into which corresponding rectangular profile sections 18 on the fastening means 4 fit. FIG. 9 shows a variant of the crossbar 1 with a laterally recessed groove of rectangular cross section and FIG. 10 finally shows a crossbar with grooves on both sides, each with a rectangular cross section. Via these two grooves, a fork-shaped fastening means 4 can be inserted, the fork legs 38 of which are resilient and have a certain pretension, so that the inserted fork is jammed in the grooves.
[0011] Die Figur 11 zeigt ein besonders vorteilhaftes Ausführungsbeispiel des Vorhangsystems, wobei hier nur das eine Ende einer Latte 1 gezeigt ist. Diese Latte 1 ist ein Aluminiumprofil von 2.4mm Stärke und 17mm Breite, das im Extru- dierverfahren hergestellt wird und als Ausnehmung 23 eine seitlich offene Einstecknut 23 von etwas mehr als 1mm Tiefe mit schwalbenschwanzförmigem Querschnitt aufweist, wie schon in Figur 6 gezeigt. Die Befestigungsmittel 4 sind hier an beiden Enden der Latte 1 von einem Steckelement 18 aus Federstahl von zum Beispiel ca. 0.7mm Stärke gebildet, welches eine Form wie in der Figur gezeigt aufweist. Dieses Steckelement 18 ist ein Stanzteil, welches daher kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Desweiteren ist ein einzelner spezieller Gleiter 6 gezeigt, der unter dem Handelsnamen Clic-Gleiter bekannt ist, und der auch für konventionelle Vorhänge verwendet werden kann. Seine Öse 11 wird über den Haken 10 am Befestigungsmittel 4 gestülpt, bzw. der Haken 10 an der Öse 11 eingehängt. Dieser Clic-Gleiter 6 weist als Spezialität beidseits elastisch nach unten schwenkbare Rastlippen 26 auf, sodass er von unten an einer beliebigen Stelle durch den Schlitz 28 des Schienenlaufes der zugehörigen Vorhangschiene 7 in deren Inneres einschiebbar ist. Dabei werden die Rastlippen 26 vorübergehend nach unten geschwenkt und sie schwenken nach dem Passieren der Schlitzränder elastisch zurück und verrasten dabei den Gleiter 6 im Schienenlauf der Vorhangschiene 7. Ausgehend von der abgebildeten Situation wird aber zunächst das Befestigungsmittel 4 mit dem Haken in die Gleiteröse 11 eingehängt und dann mit dem daran angehängten Gleiter 6 wie mit dem Pfeil eingezeichnet von der Stirnseite der Latte 1 her in die Einstecknut 23 hineingeschoben. Das erfolgt unter leichter elastischer Verkrümmung des Steckelementes 18 aus Federstahl, wodurch eine erhöhte Gleitreibung an den Nuträndern entsteht. Wenn das Steckelement 18 soweit wie in Figur 12 gezeigt in die Einstecknut 23 geschoben ist, in welcher es in derselben infolge seiner gegen hinten wachsenden Höhe verkeilt ist, befindet sich die Spitze 15 des Hakenendes etwa auf der Höhe des Profil-Endes bzw. der Stirnfläche der Latte 1. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass die Öse 11 des Gleiters 6 nicht ab dem Haken 10 rutschen kann. Der Haken 10 kann allerdings innerhalb der Öse 11 noch seitlich verschwenkt werden, und zwar auf jede Seite um ca. 45°. Das Steckelement 18 ist nun aufgrund von Haftreibung in der Einstecknut 23 gehalten. Diese Haftreibung wird durch die wirkende Federkraft des Steckelementes 18, mit welcher dieses in der Einstecknut 23 verspreizt ist, wesentlich verstärkt. Die erzeugte Haftreibkraft ist so gross, dass das Steckelement 18 sicher in der Nut gehalten ist. Zur Montage der Vorhangpaneele wird also zunächst ein Steckelement 18 mit Gleiter 6 in der gezeigten Weise am einen Ende der Latte 1 von der Stirnseite her in die Einstecknut 23 gesteckt. Hernach wird die Latte 1 durch den Hohlsaum 27 eines zugehörigen Vorhangstoffes 9 gesteckt. Anschliessend wird am anderen Ende der Latte 1 in gleicher Weise ein Steckelement 18 mit Gleiter 6 eingesteckt. Danach kann die Latte 1 mitsamt dem Vorhangstoff 9 mittels der Gleiter 6 in die zwei beabstandeten Schienenläufe 7,8 eingeklickt werden. Es empfiehlt sich, den Hohlsaum etwa 2.7-3.0 cm hoch zu gestalten, sodass das ganze Stoffpaneel ganz einfach vom Aufhängestab samt Haken und Gleitelement abgestreift und nach dem Waschen wieder über den Aufhängestab gestülpt werden kann.FIG. 11 shows a particularly advantageous exemplary embodiment of the curtain system, only one end of a crossbar 1 being shown here. This lath 1 is an aluminum profile 2.4 mm thick and 17 mm wide, which is produced by the extrusion process and has as recess 23 a laterally open insertion groove 23 of slightly more than 1 mm depth with a dovetail cross section, as already shown in FIG. 6. The fastening means 4 are formed here at both ends of the crossbar 1 by a plug element 18 made of spring steel of approximately 0.7 mm thickness, for example, which has a shape as shown in the figure. This plug element 18 is a stamped part, which is therefore inexpensive to manufacture. Furthermore, a single special slider 6 is shown which is known under the trade name Clic-Glider, and which can also be used for conventional curtains. Its eyelet 11 is slipped over the hook 10 on the fastening means 4, or the hook 10 is hung on the eyelet 11. As a specialty, this Clic glider 6 has latching lips 26 that can be pivoted downward elastically on both sides, so that it can be inserted from below at any point through the slot 28 of the rail run of the associated curtain rail 7 into the interior thereof. The locking lips 26 are temporarily pivoted downwards and they pivot back elastically after passing the slot edges and thereby lock the slider 6 in the rail run of the curtain rail 7. However, starting from the situation shown, the fastening means 4 is first hooked into the slider eyelet 11 and then with the attached slider 6 as shown by the arrow from the end face of the slat 1 into the insertion groove 23. This takes place with a slight elastic curvature of the plug element 18 made of spring steel, as a result of which there is increased sliding friction at the groove edges. When the plug-in element 18 is pushed as far as shown in FIG. 12 into the insertion groove 23, in which it is wedged in it due to its height growing towards the rear, the tip 15 of the hook end is located approximately at the height of the profile end or the end face the crossbar 1. This ensures that the eyelet 11 of the slider 6 cannot slide off the hook 10. However, the hook 10 can still be swiveled laterally within the eyelet 11, namely on each side by approximately 45 °. The plug element 18 is now held in the insertion groove 23 due to static friction. This static friction is significantly increased by the spring force of the plug element 18 with which it is spread in the insertion groove 23. The generated static friction force is so great that the plug-in element 18 is held securely in the groove. To assemble the curtain panels, a plug element 18 with a slider 6 is first inserted in the manner shown at one end of the slat 1 from the front into the insertion groove 23. The crossbar 1 is then inserted through the hemstitch 27 of an associated curtain fabric 9. Subsequently, a plug-in element 18 with slider 6 is inserted in the same way at the other end of the slat 1. Then the crossbar 1 together with the curtain material 9 can be clicked into the two spaced rail runs 7, 8 by means of the sliders 6. It is advisable to make the hemstitch about 2.7-3.0 cm high, so that The entire fabric panel can easily be stripped off the hanging bar, including the hook and sliding element, and can be put over the hanging bar again after washing.
[0012] Die Figur 13 zeigt drei Latten 1, deren eines Ende jeweils an einem Gleiter 6 im einen Schienenlauf 7 hängt, und deren anderes Ende in gleicher Weise an einem zweiten Schienenlauf 8 hängt. Diese Figur hilft zu verstehen, wie die einzelnen Latten 1 zusammenwirken. Deshalb sind sie hier ohne Vorhangpaneel dargestellt, und zwar in einer Ansicht vom Fenster her in einen Raum hinein gesehen. Die Nuten 23 in den Latten 1 sind hier also dem Fenster zugewandt, sodass man vom Raum aus weder die Nuten 23 noch die in sie gesteckten Teile der Steckelemente 18 sehen kann. Zusätzlich sind hier noch Zugelemente 31 an den Ösen der Gleiter 6 eingehängt. Zwei solche Zugelemente 31 sind unterhalb der Figur gesondert und in etwas vergrössertem Massstab dargestellt. Es handelt sich um Kunststoff-Plättchen mit einem Haken, welcher eine verjüngende Öffnung 35 aufweist, sodass ein solches Zugelement 31 unter leichter Spreizung des oberen Hakenschenkels über die Öse 11 eines Gleiters 6 geklipst werden kann und daran sicher gehalten ist. Desweiteren sind auf diesem Plättchen 31 zwei etwa halbkreisförmige Schalen 33,34 angeformt, welche elastisch etwas voneinander wegspreizbar sind und zwischen diesen beiden Schalen 33,34 liegt ein Loch 36, das durch das Plättchen hindurchgeht. Zwischen diesen beiden Schalen 33,34 kann ein Kügel- chen 32 einer Kette 37 eingeklipst werden, sodass es zwischen diesen beiden Schalen festgeklemmt ist. Eine Kugelkette 37 mit Kügelchen 32, die auf einer sie durchsetzenden Schnur sitzen, kann jetzt in der gezeigten Art die einzelnen Latten 1 einer Vorhanganordnung miteinander verbinden. Die Latte 1 , welche sich im Bild ganz rechts befindet, ist die dortige endseitige Latte. An ihr äusseres Ende wird ein Zugelement 31 angebracht, an welchem die Kette 37 mit den Kügelchen 32 befestigt wird. Die Kette 37 wird hernach an das jenseitige Ende der nächstfolgenden Latte 1 geführt und dort in gleicher Weise an einem eingehängten Zugelement 31 festgeklipst. Von dort führt die Kette 37 weiter zum jenseitigen Ende der nächsten anschliessenden Latte 1 und wird dort wiederum in gleicher Weise an einem eingehängten Zugelement 31 festgeklipst. Würden weitere Latten 1 folgen, so würde die Kette 37 stets an deren jenseitigen Enden eingehängt. Zum Öffnen oder Beiseiteschieben des fertigen Paneelvorhanges kann die Kette 37 an ihrem hier im Bild rechten Ende ergriffen werden und im Bild nach links gezogen werden. Dabei stösst der linke Gleiter der ersten, sich ganz rechts im Bild befindlichen Latte 1 auf den linken Gleiter der nächstfolgenden, hier mittleren Latte 1 und dieser Gleiter 6 schlägt schliesslich am hier linken Gleiter 6 der Latte 1 an, die sich im Bild ganz links befindet, usw. Zum erneuten Zuziehen des Paneelvorhanges kann die Kette 37 an ihrem hier rechten Ende in Richtung rechts gezogen werden. Sie wird dann nach und nach gespannt und zieht die nächstfolgende Latte 1 von ihrem jenseitigen Ende her im Bild gegen rechts. Die Kettenlänge zwischen zwei Befestigungspunkten wird vorteilhaft so gewählt, dass bei gespannter Kette sich die Paneele oder Latten 1 etwas überlappen. Dann ergibt sich ein schönes Lichtspiel in den Paneelen.Figure 13 shows three slats 1, one end of which hangs on a slider 6 in a rail run 7, and the other end hangs in the same way on a second rail run 8. This figure helps to understand how the individual slats 1 interact. That is why they are shown here without a curtain panel, in a view from the window into a room. The grooves 23 in the slats 1 thus face the window here, so that neither the grooves 23 nor the parts of the plug elements 18 inserted into them can be seen from the room. In addition, tension elements 31 are also suspended here from the eyes of the sliders 6. Two such tension elements 31 are shown separately below the figure and are shown on a somewhat enlarged scale. These are plastic plates with a hook, which has a tapering opening 35, so that such a tension element 31 can be clipped over the eyelet 11 of a slider 6 with a slight spreading of the upper hook leg and is securely held thereon. Furthermore, two approximately semicircular shells 33, 34 are formed on this plate 31, which are elastically expandable somewhat apart and between these two shells 33, 34 there is a hole 36 that passes through the plate. A bead 32 of a chain 37 can be clipped in between these two shells 33, 34, so that it is clamped between these two shells. A ball chain 37 with balls 32, which sit on a cord passing through them, can now connect the individual slats 1 of a curtain arrangement to one another in the manner shown. The batten 1, which is located on the far right in the picture, is the end batten there. At its outer end, a tension element 31 is attached, to which the chain 37 with the balls 32 is attached. The chain 37 is subsequently guided to the other end of the next slat 1 and clipped there in the same way to a suspended pulling element 31. From there, the chain 37 leads to the other end of the next adjoining slat 1 and is clipped there in the same way to a suspended pulling element 31. If further slats 1 would follow, the chain 37 would always be attached to the other ends thereof. To the When the finished panel curtain is opened or pushed aside, the chain 37 can be gripped at the end on the right here in the picture and pulled to the left in the picture. The left glider of the first crossbar 1, which is located on the far right, hits the left glider of the next, central crossbar 1 here and this glider 6 finally strikes the left glider 6 of crossbar 1, which is located on the far left in the image , etc. To close the panel curtain again, the chain 37 can be pulled towards the right at its right end here. It is then gradually tightened and pulls the next batten 1 from its other end towards the right in the picture. The chain length between two fastening points is advantageously chosen so that the panels or slats 1 overlap somewhat when the chain is tensioned. Then there is a nice play of light in the panels.
[0013] Zur Montage eines solchen Paneelvorhanges werden - wenn konventionelle Gleiter 6 ohne Einrastlippen oder Rollenpaare benützt werden - die einzelnen Latten 1 mit den daran hängenden Panellen mit ihren endseitigen Haken 10 zunächst an die Ösen 11 der Gleiter 6 gehängt oder die Haken an die Rollenachsen 13 gehängt. In diesem Zustand wird dann eine Latte 1 ergriffen und etwa in der Ebene des zu erstellenden Paneels nach unten geschwenkt. Danach wird der obere Gleiter oder das obere Rollenpaar in konventioneller Weise im Bereich des Endes eines Schienenlaufes 8 einer Vorhangschiene durch eine dort befindliche Öffnung auf der Unterseite des Sclrenenlaufs in das Innere desselben eingeführt und um eine Distanz von der Länge der Latte 1 darin verschoben. Dann wird die Latte 1 um die Öse 11 des oberen Gleiters oder um die Achse 13 des oberen Rollenpaares zurück nach oben geschwenkt und der zweite Gleiter oder das zweite Rollenpaar in den anderen Schienenlauf 7 eingeführt. To assemble such a panel curtain - if conventional sliders 6 are used without locking lips or pairs of rollers - the individual slats 1 with the attached panels with their end hooks 10 are initially hung on the eyelets 11 of the sliders 6 or the hooks on the roller axes 13 hanged. In this state, a slat 1 is then gripped and pivoted downward approximately in the plane of the panel to be created. The upper slider or the upper pair of rollers is then inserted in a conventional manner in the region of the end of a rail run 8 of a curtain rail through an opening located there on the underside of the curtain rail and is displaced therein by a distance of the length of the slat 1. Then the slat 1 is pivoted back up about the eyelet 11 of the upper slider or about the axis 13 of the upper pair of rollers and the second slider or the second pair of rollers is inserted into the other rail run 7.
