Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sonnenschutzvorrichtung, bestehend aus einem Gestänge und einem über dasselbe spannbaren Tuch nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sun protection device consisting of a linkage and a same over the tensionable cloth according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus WO 96/18789 ist ein zusammenlegbares Schutzdach bekannt, dass zwei bogenförmige Abschnitte aus einem flexiblen Tuch, wie beispielsweise aus gewebtem Nylon, aufweist. Dieses Tuch weist Taschen auf, in die flexible Stäbe eingesetzt sind, die sich an einem zentralen Ort kreuzen. Beim Aufstellen werden mittels eines Reißverschlusses die beiden Abschnitte verbunden, um eine igluförmige Gestalt des Daches zu erreichen. Dokument WO 96/18789 offenbart eine Sonnenschutzvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.Out WO 96/18789 For example, a collapsible canopy is known that has two arcuate portions of a flexible blanket such as woven nylon. This cloth has pockets in which flexible rods are inserted, which intersect at a central location. When setting up the two sections are connected by means of a zipper to achieve a igloo-shaped shape of the roof. document WO 96/18789 discloses a sunshade device having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Sonnenschutzvorrichtungen sind beispielsweise als Sonnenschirme bekannt. Wenn Sonnenschirme an Stränden, auf Wiesen oder sonstigen Arealen verwendet werden, müssen diese vorzugsweise im Boden befestigt werden, wobei auch ein Schirmständer verwendet werden kann. Die Sonnenschirme haben jedoch den großen Nachteil, daß sie sehr windanfällig sind, was im schlimmsten Falle zu Beschädigungen an dem Sonnenschirm führen kann. Außerdem bieten Sonnenschirme aufgrund ihrer Beschaffenheit keinen optimalen Schatten für den Körper.Sun protection devices are known, for example, as parasols. If umbrellas are used on beaches, on meadows or other areas, they must preferably be fixed in the ground, whereby an umbrella stand can be used. However, the parasols have the great disadvantage that they are very susceptible to wind, which can lead to damage to the parasol in the worst case. Moreover, due to their nature, parasols do not provide optimal shade for the body.

Weiter sind sogenannte Pavillons bekannt, wie beispielsweise beschrieben in CH 675 446 A5 und US 5,546,971 , die zwar einen besseren Schatten bieten, jedoch aufgrund ihrer Größe und der relativ aufwendigen Montage, die zumeist mehrere Personen erfordert, kaum geeignet sind, diese für eine kurzzeitige Verwendung aufzustellen. Außerdem müssen diese Pavillons mittels Heringen gesichert werden, wobei die Pavillons auch dann nicht besonders standsicher sind. Gleiches gilt für Zelte, wie beispielsweise in US 3,223,098 beschrieben.Furthermore, so-called pavilions are known, as described, for example, in US Pat CH 675 446 A5 and US 5,546,971 Although provide a better shade, but due to their size and the relatively complex installation, which usually requires several people, are hardly suitable to set them up for a short-term use. In addition, these pavilions must be secured by herring, the pavilions are then not very stable. The same applies to tents, such as in US 3,223,098 described.

Ebenfalls bekannt sind sogenannte Strandmuscheln, wie beispielsweise beschrieben in GB 2 308 393 A , die jedoch weniger als Sonnenschutz dienen. Vielmehr sind diese Strandmuscheln als Windschutz zu sehen, wobei diese sehr stark durch Abspannen bzw. Beschweren gegen den Wind gesichert werden müssen. Diese Strandmuscheln können, wenn überhaupt, lediglich Kindern als Sonnenschutz dienen, wobei sich der Bereich innerhalb der Strandmuschel sehr stark aufheizt. Durch das Abspannen und Beschweren sind Positionswechsel nur sehr umständlich möglich.Also known are so-called beach shells, such as described in GB 2 308 393 A , which are less used as sunscreen. Rather, these beach shells are to be seen as a windbreak, which must be secured very strong by chucking or complaining against the wind. These beach shells can, if at all, only serve as sun protection for children, with the area inside the beach shell heating up very much. By clamping and weighting position changes are only very cumbersome.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sonnenschutzvorrichtung der angegebenen Gattung zu schaffen, die einerseits einen optimalen Sonnenschutz bietet und andererseits einen sicheren Stand auch bei stärkerem Wind bietet, wobei sich auch die Montage der Sonnenschutzvorrichtung sehr einfach und schnell gestaltet.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a sunshade device of the specified type, on the one hand provides optimal sun protection and on the other hand provides a secure stand even in stronger winds, with the installation of the sunshade designed very simple and fast.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Sonnenschutzvorrichtung nach Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a sun protection device according to claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sonnenschutzvorrichtung zeichnet sich u.a. durch ihre leichte Montierbarkeit aus. So ist es für den Laien sehr einfach möglich, die demontierte Sonnenschutzvorrichtung, deren Einzelteile vorzugsweise in einem kleinen Sack untergebracht sind, an dem jeweiligen Standort sicher und schnell zu montieren. Auch ein Versetzen der Sonnenschutzvorrichtung ist relativ einfach möglich, da hier auch kein Abspannen erforderlich ist.The sun protection device according to the invention is characterized, inter alia, by its easy mountability. So it is very easy for the layman, the dismantled sun protection device, the items are preferably housed in a small bag to assemble at the respective location safely and quickly. Also, a displacement of the sun protection device is relatively easy, since no bracing is required here.

Ferner zeichnet sich die Sonnenschutzvorrichtung dadurch aus, daß sie wenig windanfällig ist. Dafür sorgen u.a. die sich auf dem Boden befindlichen Gurtbänder im Zusammenhang mit den gebogenen Stangen.Furthermore, the sun protection device is characterized in that it is not susceptible to wind. Make sure u.a. the straps located on the ground in connection with the bent bars.

Da die Sonnenschutzvorrichtung sehr luftdurchlässig ausgebildet ist, erfolgt auch kein Aufheizen derselben, wobei zusätzlich noch eine freie Sicht nach allen Seiten hin gegeben ist.Since the sun protection device is designed to be very permeable to air, there is no heating the same, in addition, a clear view is still given on all sides.

Die in den Figuren dargestellte Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Gestänge 2 und einem über dasselbe spannbaren Tuch 3.The sun protection device 1 shown in the figures consists essentially of a rod 2 and a same over the stretchable cloth third

Das Gestänge 2 wiederum besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei sich kreuzenden, flexiblen Stangen 4, die in Gebrauchsstellung mit an ihren Enden 5 vorgesehenen Spitzen 6 in Ösen 7 an den Enden 8 von zwei auf dem Boden sich kreuzenden Gurtbändern 9 eingesteckt sind (siehe insbesondere Fig. 1, 3 und 4), wobei das Gestänge 2 bzw. die Stangen 4 kuppelartig gebogen ist bzw. sind (siehe Fig. 3). Damit die Stangen 4 leichter transportiert werden können, bestehen diese jeweils aus einer Vielzahl von zusammensteckbaren Stabteilen, wobei zwei benachbarte Stabteile über vorzugsweise flexible Schnüre o.dgl. miteinander verbunden sind (nicht dargestellt).The linkage 2 in turn consists essentially of two intersecting, flexible rods 4, which are inserted in the position of use with provided at their ends 5 tips 6 in eyelets 7 at the ends 8 of two on the ground intersecting straps 9 (see in particular Fig. 1 . 3 and 4 ), wherein the rod 2 and the rods 4 is bent like a dome or are (see Fig. 3 ). Thus, the rods 4 can be easily transported, these consist of a plurality of plug-together rod parts, wherein two adjacent rod parts or the like preferably flexible cords. connected to each other (not shown).

Zur Sicherung der Stangen 4 sind dieselben im Kreuzungsbereich 10 miteinander verbunden. Dazu kann ein Formteil 11, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, im Kreuzungsbereich 10 der Stangen 4 vorgesehen sein, das aus zwei übereinander sich kreuzenden Rohrstücken 12 besteht, in deren freien voneinander abgewandten Seiten 13 durchgehende Längsschlitze 14 vorgesehen sind. Über die Längsschlitze 14 wird das Formteil auf die Stangen 4 geclipst (siehe hierzu Fig. 6 und 7).To secure the rods 4, the same are connected to each other in the crossing region 10. For this purpose, a molding 11, preferably made of plastic, be provided in the crossing region 10 of the rods 4, which consists of two superimposed intersecting pipe sections 12, in the free sides facing away from each other 13 continuous longitudinal slots 14 are provided. About the longitudinal slots 14, the molding is clipped onto the rods 4 (see 6 and 7 ).

Für eine weitere Stabilisierung der Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 sind die beiden benachbarten Stangen 4 der Schmalseiten 15 der Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 jeweils über mindestens eine Verbindungsstrebe 16 gehalten. In dem hier vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind auf jeder Schmalseite 15 zwei Verbindungsstreben 16 vorgesehen, wobei die weiter oben angeordnete Verbindungsstrebe 16 selbstverständlich kürzer ausgebildet ist als die untere Verbindungsstrebe 16. Die Verbindungstreben 16 sind über an deren Enden 17 vorgesehene Halteelemente 18 auf die Einzelstäbe 4 aufclipsbar (siehe hierzu Fig. 8 und 9).For a further stabilization of the sun protection device 1, the two adjacent rods 4 of the narrow sides 15 of the sun protection device 1 are each held by at least one connecting strut 16. In the present embodiment, two connecting struts 16 are provided on each narrow side 15, wherein the connecting strut 16 arranged further up is of course shorter than the lower connecting strut 16. The connecting struts 16 can be clipped onto the individual bars 4 via holding elements 18 provided at their ends ( see also 8 and 9 ).

Zur Abstützung des Tuches 3 stützt sich im Kreuzungsbereich 10 der Stangen 4 eine Querstrebe 19 ab, die vorzugsweise mit den Stangen 4 bzw. dem Formteil 11 verbunden ist. Dies kann beispielsweise durch an der Querstrebe 19 oder am Tuch 3 angebrachte Schnüre erfolgen, die dann um die Stangen 4 bzw. um das Formteil 11 herum gebunden werden.To support the cloth 3 is supported in the crossing region 10 of the rods 4 from a cross strut 19, preferably with the rods 4 and dem Molded part 11 is connected. This can be done for example by attached to the cross member 19 or cloth 3 cords, which are then tied around the rods 4 and around the molding 11 around.

Die Querstrebe 19 kann in Taschen 20 (strichpunktiert in Fig. 2 dargestellt) am seitlichen Längsrand 21 des Tuches 3 eingesetzt sein oder in einer sich vom einen Längsrand 21 des Tuches 3 zum anderen Längsrand 21 des Tuches 3 erstreckenden Tasche 22 eingenäht sein.The cross strut 19 can in pockets 20 (dash-dotted in Fig. 2 shown) may be inserted at the lateral longitudinal edge 21 of the cloth 3 or sewn into a bag 22 extending from one longitudinal edge 21 of the cloth 3 to the other longitudinal edge 21 of the cloth 3.

Das Tuch 3 wird mittels am unteren Längsrand 23 vorgesehenen Gurten 24 mit Ösen 25 von den Spitzen 6 der Stangen 4 gehalten (siehe hier auch Fig. 4). Weitere Gurte 26 an dem seitlichen Längsrand 21 des Tuches 3 verbinden das Tuch 3 über Klettbänder mit den Stangen 4 (siehe Fig. 1 und 5).The cloth 3 is held by means provided on the lower longitudinal edge 23 straps 24 with eyelets 25 of the tips 6 of the rods 4 (see also here Fig. 4 ). Further straps 26 on the lateral longitudinal edge 21 of the cloth 3 connect the cloth 3 via Velcro strips with the rods 4 (see Fig. 1 and 5 ).

Wie aus der vorangehenden Beschreibung der Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 erkennbar, läßt sich die Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 sehr einfach und schnell montieren. Ein sicherer Stand der montierten Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 ist jederzeit gewährleistet, wobei auch ein einfacher Positionswechsel sehr einfach und schnell vollzogen werden kann.As can be seen from the foregoing description of the sunshade device 1, the sunshade device 1 can be mounted very easily and quickly. A secure state of the mounted sunshade device 1 is guaranteed at all times, with a simple change of position can be completed very easily and quickly.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 läßt sich sehr leicht nach dem einfachen Abbau zum Transport oder zur Lagerung zu einem relativ kleinen Päckchen verpacken, wobei auch aufgrund der relativ geringen Einzelteile und der verwendeten Materialien das Päckchen sehr leicht ist.The sun protection device 1 according to the invention can be very easily packaged after easy dismantling for transport or storage to a relatively small package, which is very easy due to the relatively small items and the materials used the packet.

Die Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 ermöglicht zudem noch eine Auswechselbarkeit des Tuches 3 ohne besondere Maßnahmen, d.h. sollte das Tuch 3 verschlissen oder defekt sein oder sollte ein neues Design des Stoffes des Tuchs 3 gewünscht werden, kann einfach und kostengünstig lediglich das Tuch 3 gewechselt werden.The sun protection device 1 also still allows interchangeability of the cloth 3 without special measures, ie, the cloth 3 should be worn or defective, or should a new design of the fabric of the cloth 3 are desired, can be simply and inexpensively changed only the cloth 3.

Die erfindungsgemäße Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1, wie sie in Gebrauchsstellung in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, ist wie folgt aufstellbar:The sun protection device 1 according to the invention, as in the position of use in Fig. 1 is shown, can be set up as follows:

Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 umfaßt das Gestänge 2 und das über dasselbe spannbare Tuch 3.Sun protection device 1 comprises the linkage 2 and the same stretchable cloth third

Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, umfaßt das Gestänge 2 zwei sich kreuzende, jeweils elastisch krümmbare Stangen 4, die von ein- oder mehrteiligen Einzelstäben gebildet werden können. Diese elastisch krümmbaren Stangen 4 werden kuppelartig gebogen verspannt durch Einstecken der Stangenenden 5 in Ösen 7 (vgl. Fig. 4) an den Enden 8 von zwei sich kreuzenden Gurtbändern 9, die einen von den Stangen 4 überwölbbaren Boden 27 unter Beanspruchung der Stangenenden 5 auf Zug überspannen. Der Wölbungsgrad ist über die Länge der Gurtbänder 9 variierbar, wodurch auch eine Länge der Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 einstellbar ist. Der Boden 27 wird vorzugsweise von einem Aufstellgrund gebildet, auf dem die Sonnenschutzvorrichtung 1 aufgestellt wird.As in Fig. 3 is shown, the linkage 2 comprises two intersecting, each elastically bendable rods 4, which can be formed by one or more parts of individual rods. These elastically bendable rods 4 are bent like a dome braced by inserting the rod ends 5 in eyelets 7 (see. Fig. 4 ) at the ends 8 of two intersecting straps 9, which span over a floor 27 of the rods 4 überölbarbaren under stress of the rod ends 5 on train. The degree of curvature is variable over the length of the straps 9, whereby a length of the sun protection device 1 is adjustable. The bottom 27 is preferably formed by a Aufstellgrund on which the sunshade device 1 is placed.

Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, werden die elastisch krümmbaren Stangen 4 durch Einstecken der Stangenenden 5 in Gurte 24 an einem unteren Längsrand 23 des Tuches 3 (feder)vorgespannt zum Spannen des Tuches 3 über dem Gestänge 2. Dies ist erkennbar an der leichten Doppelkrümmung der sich im Kreuzungsbereich 10 kreuzenden elastischen Stangen 4. Die Stangen 4 sind folglich jeweils länger als die Diagonale des im wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Tuches 3, wodurch auf das Tuch 3 eine Druck- und Spreizkraft ausgeübt wird, die das Tuch 3 auf dem Gestänge 2 spannt. Ein Flattern des Tuches 3 auf dem Gestänge wird dadurch verhindert. Ferner verleiht ein derart auf das Gestänge 2 gespanntes Tuch 3 dem Gestänge 2 zusätzliche Stabilität, so daß die Verbindungsstreben 16 auch entfallen können. Es sollte vorzugsweise Sorge dafür getragen werden, daß der untere Längsrand 23 des Tuches 3 gespannt ist, wozu eine Spannstrebe in einen Saum des Längsrandes 23 einsetzbar sein kann.As in Fig. 2 is shown, the elastically bendable rods 4 by inserting the rod ends 5 in straps 24 at a lower longitudinal edge 23 of the blanket 3 (spring) biased to tension the cloth 3 on the linkage 2. This is recognizable by the slight double curvature in the crossing area The rods 4 are consequently each longer than the diagonal of the substantially rectangular cloth 3, whereby a pressure and spreading force is exerted on the cloth 3, which tensions the cloth 3 on the rod 2. Fluttering of the cloth 3 on the linkage is thereby prevented. Furthermore, such a tensioned on the linkage 2 cloth 3 the linkage 2 additional stability, so that the connecting struts 16 can also be omitted. It should preferably be taken care that the lower longitudinal edge 23 of the cloth 3 is tensioned, what a tension strut can be used in a seam of the longitudinal edge 23.

Mittels einer Querstrebe 19 wird das Tuch 3 im Kreuzungsbereich 10 der Stangen 4 abgestützt, um das Tuch 3 im Wölbungsscheitelpunkt zusätzlich zu fixieren.By means of a transverse strut 19, the cloth 3 is supported in the crossing region 10 of the rods 4 in order to additionally fix the cloth 3 in the vaulting vertex.

Vorzugsweise ist die Kreuzung der Gurtbänder 9 fixiert, um die Ausrichtung der Kreuzungen zueinander zu verbessern.Preferably, the intersection of the straps 9 is fixed to improve the alignment of the intersections.

Weiterhin ist vorzugsweise der Kreuzungsbereich 10 der kuppelartig gebogenen Stangen 4 und die Kreuzung der Gurtbänder 9 übereinanderstehend angeordnet, wodurch eine besondere Standfestigkeit erzielt wird.Furthermore, preferably, the crossing region 10 of the dome-like bent rods 4 and the intersection of the straps 9 are arranged one above the other, whereby a special stability is achieved.

Die Kreuzungen der Stange 4 und der Gurtbänder 9 liegen schließlich vorzugsweise mittig zwischen den jeweiligen Enden 5 bzw. 8.Finally, the intersections of the rod 4 and the straps 9 preferably lie centrally between the respective ends 5 and 8, respectively.
