Abstract

A lamination arrangement consists of mutually parallel extending laminations in which the laminations are preferably formed as hollow lamellae provided with end-covers (2) which have on their inner-side facing towards the lamellae, or on their outer-face, at least one connecting part (3) mounted on the cover surface. Each retention element (1) has a retainer arm (4).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine aus mehreren vorzugsweise parallel zueinander verlaufenden Lamellen bestehende Lamellenanordnung für Gebäudefassaden, auskragende Vorsprünge an Gebäuden, verglaste Dächer und dergleichen, wobei die Lamellen über Halteelemente an der Gebäudestruktur befestigt, vorzugsweise als Hohllamellen ausgebildet und an ihren endseitigen Stirnflächen mit Enddeckeln versehen sind, wobei die Enddeckel auf ihrer zur Lamelle weisenden Innenseite oder auf ihrer Außenseite mit wenigstens einem an der Deckelfläche angebrachten Anschlußteil versehen sind, und wobei jedes Halteelement einen Haltearm aufweist, an dessen freiem Ende ein mit dem Anschlussteil kraft- oder formschlüssig verbindbares Befestigungsglied angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a plurality of preferably mutually parallel slats existing lamellar arrangement for building facades, projecting projections on buildings, glazed roofs and the like, the lamellae fastened via retaining elements on the building structure, preferably formed as a hollow slats and provided at their end faces with end caps, wherein the end covers are provided on their facing the lamella inside or on its outer side with at least one attached to the cover surface connecting part, and wherein each holding element has a support arm, at its free end with a force-fitting or form-fitting connectable attachment member is arranged.

Derartige Lamellenanordnungen sind aus der Praxis in vielfältigen Ausführungsformen bekannt und dienen dazu, insbesondere in verglasten Bereichen Abschattungen gegen die Sonneneinstrahlung vorzunehmen. Dabei werden in der Regel zunächst die Halteelemente an den vorgesehenen Stellen angebracht und anschließend die Lamellen selbst an den Halteelementen befestigt, was beispielsweise mittels Schraubverbindungen erfolgen kann.Such lamellar arrangements are known from practice in various embodiments and serve to make shading against solar radiation, in particular in glazed areas. As a rule, first the retaining elements are attached to the intended locations and then the lamellae are themselves fastened to the retaining elements, which can be done for example by means of screw connections.

Um eine Ausrichtung der Lamellenflächen entsprechend der örtlichen Gegebenheiten bzw. der Sonneneinstrahlung vorzunehmen, müssen die Halteelemente beispielsweise gelenkig ausgebildet sein, um die Einstellung einer vorgesehenen Winkellage für die Lamelle vornehmen zu können. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Halteelemente ist technisch aufwendig und im übrigen verschleißanfällig.In order to make an alignment of the lamellar surfaces according to the local conditions or the sun, the holding elements must be articulated, for example, to make the setting of an intended angular position for the lamella. Such a configuration of the holding elements is technically complex and otherwise susceptible to wear.

Die EP 1 516 998 zeigt bereits eine Lösung mit einem Zahnkranz, bei welcher jedoch an einer mit einem Außenzahnkranz versehenen Basisplatte ein diesen Zahnkranz umgreifender Halter angeordnet ist, der wiederrum gabelartig die Lamelle umschließt.The EP 1 516 998 already shows a solution with a sprocket, in which, however, arranged on a provided with an outer ring gear base plate a sprocket encompassing holder is arranged, which in turn encloses the blade like a fork.

Bei der US 2004 0 244 291 ist ein Zahnrad an der Lamelle angeordnet, das jedoch mit einer Zahnstange im Eingriff steht, wodurch eine Verstellmöglichkeit für die Lamelle besteht.In the US 2004 0 244 291 a gear on the blade is arranged, which is, however, with a rack engaged, whereby an adjustment for the slat consists.

Schließlich zeigt eine Ausführungsvariante der US 3 691 687 eine mit einem Außenzahnkranz versehene Stirnleiste einer Lamelle, die jedoch in eine angepasste Aufnahmebohrung einer Rahmenleiste greift.Finally, a variant of the shows US 3,691,687 a provided with an external sprocket end strip of a blade, which, however, engages in an adapted receiving bore of a frame strip.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lamellenanordnung der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, dass mit einfachen Bauteilen sowohl eine einfache Montage der Lamelle als auch eine Einstellung der Winkelausrichtung der Lamellen leicht möglich ist.The invention has for its object to improve a fin assembly of the type mentioned so that with simple components both a simple assembly of the blade and an adjustment of the angular orientation of the slats is easily possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass das Anschlußteil von einem Außenzahnkranz gebildet ist, während das Befestigungsglied von einer Gabelaufnahme gebildet ist, wobei die Gabelaufnahme mit wenigstens einem zum Eingriff in einen der Zähne bzw. der Verzahnung eingerichteten Sperrglied versehen ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the connecting part is formed by an outer ring gear, while the fastening member is formed by a fork receptacle, wherein the fork receptacle is provided with at least one adapted for engagement in one of the teeth or the toothed locking member.

Der durch die Erfindung erreichte Vorteil besteht zunächst im wesentlichen darin, dass die Befestigung der Lamellen allein über die Enddeckel erfolgt, so dass Bearbeitungen an der Lamelle selbst nicht erfoderlich sind. Die Verbindung mit dem Halteelement erfolgt also ausschließlich über die Enddeckel, die ihrerseits lediglich mit der Stirnfläche der Lamelle zu verbinden sind. Die Montage wird erheblich vereinfacht, da das Anschlußteil des Enddeckels lediglich mit dem Befestigungsglied des Halteelements verbunden werden muss, was aufgrund der kraft- bzw. formschlüssigen Ausbildung schnell und leicht vonstatten geht.The advantage achieved by the invention initially consists essentially in the fact that the attachment of the slats takes place solely on the end cap, so that operations on the slat itself are not erfoderlich. The connection with the retaining element thus takes place exclusively via the end cover, which in turn are to be connected only to the end face of the lamella. The assembly is considerably simplified, since the connection part of the end cover only has to be connected to the attachment member of the holding element, which is fast and easy due to the non-positive or positive training.

In besonders einfacher Ausgestaltung ist das Sperrglied hierbei von einer Schraube gebildet.In a particularly simple embodiment, the locking member is formed here by a screw.

In bevorzugter Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das bzw. die Anschlußteile symmetrisch zur Mitte des Enddeckels angeordnet sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass an beiden Seiten der Lamelle der gleiche Enddeckel verwendet werden kann, was die Lagerhaltung erheblich vereinfacht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the or the connecting parts are arranged symmetrically to the center of the end cover. This has the advantage that the same on both sides of the slat End cover can be used, which greatly simplifies storage.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert; es zeigen:

Fig. 1
ein Halteelement mit einem Enddeckel zur Befestigung an einer Lamelle,
Fig. 2
eine Alternative zum Gegenstand nach Figur 1.
In the following the invention is explained in detail in exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing; show it:
Fig. 1
a holding element with an end cover for attachment to a lamella,
Fig. 2
an alternative to the object FIG. 1 ,

In der Zeichnung sind unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen eines Halteelements 1 sowie eines Enddeckels 2 für Lamellen dargestellt, die in nicht näher wiedergegebener Weise vorzugsweise parallel zueinander angeordnete Lamellenanordnungen bilden, die zur Abschattung von Gebäudefassaden, auskragenden Vorsprüngen an Gebäuden, verglasten Dächern und dergleichen zum Einsatz kommen. Die Lamellen sind dabei vorzugsweise als Hohllamellen ausgebildet, besitzen also im Querschnitt eine Gestalt wie der beispielsweise in der Figur 1 dargestellte Enddeckel 2, der stirnseitig an der Lamelle zu deren Befestigung angebracht wird.In the drawing, different embodiments of a retaining element 1 and an end cover 2 are shown for lamellae, which preferably not parallel reproduced manner form mutually parallel lamellar arrangements, which are used for shading building facades, projecting protrusions on buildings, glazed roofs and the like. The lamellae are preferably formed as a hollow lamellae, so in cross-section have a shape like that in the example FIG. 1 illustrated end cover 2, which is attached to the end of the lamella to the attachment.

Die Enddeckel 2 sind an ihrer zur Lamelle weisenden Innenseite oder - wie dies beispielhaft in Figur 2 dargestellt ist - auf ihrer Außenseite wenigstens mit einem an der Deckelfläche ausgebildeten Anschlußteil 3 versehen, das der Befestigung am Halteelement 1 dient. Dazu ist das Halteelement 1 mit einem Haltearm 4 versehen, an dessen freiem Ende ein mit dem Anschlußteil 3 kraft- oder formschlüssig verbindbares Befestigungsglied 5 angeordnet ist.The end cover 2 are on their side facing the slat inside or - as exemplified in FIG. 2 is shown - provided on its outer side with at least one formed on the cover surface connecting part 3, which serves the attachment to the holding element 1. For this purpose, the holding element 1 is provided with a holding arm 4, at its free end with the connection part 3 non-positively or positively connectable fastening member. 5 is arranged.

Bei dem in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht das Anschlußteil 3 aus einem Außenzahnkranz 6, während das Befestigungsglied 5 von einer Gabelaufnahme gebildet ist. Die Gabelaufnahme kann dabei in einem Teilbereich ihrerseits einen Innenzahnkranz aufweisen, der eine Fixierung des Enddeckels 2 und damit der Lamelle in der vorgesehenen Drehstellung ermöglicht. Zusätzlich empfiehlt es sich jedoch, dass in der Gabelaufnahme ein oder mehrere Sperrglieder 7 vorgesehen sind, die in einen der Zähne eingreifen und somit das Anschlußteil 3 in der Gabelaufnahme fixieren. Dies erfolgt in einfachster Weise durch eine in einem Gewinde der Gabelaufnahme angeordnete Schraube.In the in the Figures 1 and 2 As shown, the connecting part 3 consists of an outer ring gear 6, while the fastening member 5 is formed by a fork receptacle. In this case, the fork receptacle may in turn have an internal toothed ring in a subregion, which enables a fixation of the end cover 2 and thus the lamella in the intended rotational position. In addition, it is recommended, however, that in the fork receptacle one or more locking members 7 are provided which engage in one of the teeth and thus fix the connecting part 3 in the fork receptacle. This is done in the simplest way by a screw arranged in a thread of the fork receptacle.

Schließlich ist der Enddeckel 2 mit einer randseitig verlaufenden Anlageleiste 12 für die Lamelle versehen. Soweit das Anschlußteil 3 dabei auf der zur Lamelle weisenden Innenseite des Enddeckels 2 angeordnet ist, ist die Anlageleiste 12 in dem für den Durchgriff des Haltearms 4 vorgesehenen Bereich mit einer Freischneidung versehen. Über diese Freischneidung erfolgt darüberhinaus ggf. eine Belüftung oder Entwässerung der Lamelle. Bei der in der Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsvariante, bei der das Anschlußteil 3 an der Außenseite des Enddeckels 2 angeordnet ist, ist eine derartige Freischneidung hingegen nicht erforderlich.Finally, the end cover 2 is provided with an edge extending attachment bar 12 for the lamella. As far as the connection part 3 is arranged on the side facing the slat inside of the end cover 2, the contact strip 12 is provided in the space provided for the passage of the support arm 4 area with a cutout. In addition, if necessary, ventilation or drainage of the lamella takes place via this cut-out. When in the FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment, in which the connection part 3 is arranged on the outside of the end cover 2, such free cutting is, however, not required.
