Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Positionierungsmechanismus für einen Schirm, insbesondere einen Sonnenschirm gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a positioning mechanism for a screen, in particular a sunshade according to the preamble of claim 1.

Schirme besitzen in der Regel einen Mast, an dessen einem Ende eine Krone angeordnet ist. Mit der Krone gelenkig verbunden sind Dachstangen, an denen Stützstreben angelenkt sind, die ihrerseits an einem Schieber angelenkt sind. Durch ein Verschieben des Schiebers wird der Schirm geöffnet beziehungsweise geschlossen. Durch einen Positionierungsmechanismus wird der Schirm in der geöffneten Position gehalten (siehe US2005/0241687 ).Umbrellas usually have a mast, at one end of which a crown is arranged. Articulately connected to the crown are roof bars, on which support struts are articulated, which in turn are articulated to a slide. By moving the slider, the screen is opened or closed. A positioning mechanism holds the screen in the open position (see US2005 / 0241687 ).

Positionierungsmechanismen für Schirme sind aus dem Stand der Technik in vielfältiger Ausgestaltung bekannt. Diese bestehen zumeist aus einem innerhalb des Mastes angeordnetem Federmechanismus, welcher in der geöffneten Position des Schirmes mit dem Schieber verrastet. Derartige Konstruktionen sind beispielsweise in der US-Patentschrift 6,571,813 B2 oder der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 202008004468 U1 gezeigt. Nachteilig an den bekannten Positionierungsmechanismen ist zum einen, dass in dem Mast Öffnungen, etwa Schlitznuten vorgesehen sein müssen, durch welche der Federmechanismus innerhalb des Mastes positioniert und später zum Zwecke der Verrastung hindurchtreten kann. Diese Durchbrüche im Material des Mastes bewirken eine verminderte Stabilität des Mastes, was insbesondere dann unerwünscht ist, wenn es sich bei dem Schirm um einen Sonnenschirm mit einen größeren Durchmesser des Schirmdaches handelt, auf welches nicht unerhebliche Windkräfte einwirken können. Damit der Mast auch bei den bekannten Lösungen höhere Windkräfte aufnehmen kann, muss im Stand der Technik die Wandstärke des Mastes entsprechend erhöht werden. Dies wiederum führt zu dem Nachteil eines größeren Materialeinsatzes und Gewicht des Mastes. Zum anderen ist die Montage der bekannten Positionierungsmechanismen relativ aufwendig. Im Falle eines Defekts, etwa eines Federbruchs, ist eine Reparatur nicht möglich, da der defekte Federmechanismus nicht aus dem Inneren des Mastes entfernt werden kann.Positioning mechanisms for screens are known from the prior art in a variety of configurations. These consist mostly of a arranged inside the mast spring mechanism which is locked in the open position of the screen with the slider. Such constructions are for example in the U.S. Patent 6,571,813 B2 or the German Utility Model DE 202008004468 U1 shown. A disadvantage of the known positioning mechanisms, on the one hand, that openings, such as slot grooves must be provided in the mast, through which the spring mechanism can be positioned within the mast and later pass for the purpose of locking. These breakthroughs in the material of the mast cause a reduced stability of the mast, which is particularly undesirable if it is the umbrella to a parasol with a larger diameter of the canopy, which can affect not inconsiderable wind forces. Thus, the mast can absorb higher wind forces even in the known solutions, the wall thickness of the mast must be increased accordingly in the prior art. This in turn leads to the disadvantage of a larger material usage and weight of the mast. On the other hand, the assembly of the known positioning mechanisms is relatively expensive. In the case of a defect, such as a spring break, a repair is not possible because the defective spring mechanism can not be removed from the interior of the mast.

Das der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende technische Problem ist die Schaffung eines Positionierungsmechanismus für einen Schirm, welcher einfach zu montieren und zu bedienen ist, und für den gesonderte Durchbrüche des Mastes nicht erforderlich sind.The technical problem underlying the present invention is to provide a positioning mechanism for a screen, which is easy to assemble and operate, and for the separate breakthroughs of the mast are not required.

Dieses technische Problem wird gelöst durch einen Positionierungsmechanismus mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen von Anspruch 1.This technical problem is solved by a positioning mechanism having the characterizing features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist an dem Mast ein Positionierungselement fest angeordnet. Die Stützstreben der Dachstangen sind an einer Nabe angelenkt, welche beweglich mit einem Schieber verbunden ist, welcher auf dem Mast verschoben werden kann. An der Nabe ist eine Verriegelungsvorrichtung angeordnet. Diese besteht aus mindestens einem Rasthaken, welcher auf einer Achse kippbar gelagert ist. Das obere Ende des Rasthakens ist mittels einer Feder in Richtung des Mastes gespannt. Das Positionierungselement besitzt eine Rastnut, in welcher das obere Ende des Rasthakens bei Erreichen der Öffnungsposition des Positionierungsmechanismus verrastet. Zum Lösen der Verrastung und Schließen des Schirmes wird der Schieber von der Krone weg bewegt, wobei ein Vorsprung an der Innenseite des Schiebers auf das untere Ende des Rasthakens so einwirkt, dass das obere Ende des Rasthakens von dem Mast weg aus der Rastnut des Positionierungselementes bewegt und die Verrastung aufgehoben wird.According to the invention, a positioning element is fixedly arranged on the mast. The struts of the roof bars are hinged to a hub which is movably connected to a slider which can be moved on the mast. At the hub, a locking device is arranged. This consists of at least one latching hook, which is mounted tiltably on an axis. The upper end of the latching hook is stretched by a spring in the direction of the mast. The positioning element has a latching groove in which the upper end of the latching hook is latched upon reaching the opening position of the positioning mechanism. To release the locking and closing of the screen, the slider is moved away from the crown, wherein a projection on the inside of the slider on the lower end of the latching hook acts so that the upper end of the latching hook moves away from the mast from the locking groove of the positioning element and the latching is lifted.

Das Positionierungselement kann in bevorzugter Ausführungsform als Ringhülse mit einer umlaufenden Rastnut ausgebildet sein. Es ist jedoch ebenso möglich, als Positionierungselement ein oder mehrere geeignete Profile am Mast anzuordnen, etwa ein C-Profil.The positioning element may be formed in a preferred embodiment as an annular sleeve with a circumferential locking groove. However, it is also possible to arrange as a positioning element one or more suitable profiles on the mast, such as a C-profile.

Vorteilhaft ist es, an der dem Schieber zugewandten Seite des Positionierungselementes eine schräge Fläche vorzusehen, auf welcher das obere Ende des Rasthakens bis zum Erreichen der Rastnut gleiten kann.It is advantageous to provide on the side facing the slider of the positioning element an inclined surface on which the upper end of the latching hook can slide until it reaches the locking groove.

An dem Rasthaken können in bevorzugter Ausführungsform zwei Rippen ausgebildet sein, zwischen denen die Feder positioniert ist. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, die Feder auf der gleichen Welle zu lagern, auf welcher der Rasthaken gelagert ist.In a preferred embodiment, two ribs may be formed on the latching hook, between which the spring is positioned. It is advantageous to store the spring on the same shaft on which the latching hook is mounted.

Die Fixierung des Positionierungselementes am Mast kann durch im Stand der Technik bekannte Mittel erfolgen. In bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist in dem Mast an der gewünschten Position des Positionierungselementes mindestens eine Aussparung vorgesehen, in welche mindestens eine Haltenase des Positionierungselementes eingreift.The fixing of the positioning element on the mast can be done by means known in the art. In a preferred embodiment, at least one recess is provided in the mast at the desired position of the positioning element, in which engages at least one retaining lug of the positioning element.

Der in den Fig. 1 und 2 abgebildete Schirm besitzt einen Mast 6 mit einem Mastfuß 7. An dem oberen Ende des Mastes 6 ist eine Krone 1 angeordnet. Mit dieser sind Dachstangen 2 gelenkig verbunden. An den Dachstangen 2 sind Stützstreben 3 angelenkt, welche ihrerseits an der Nabe 4 angelenkt sind. Die Nabe 4 ist mit dem Schieber 5 so verbunden, dass Nabe 4 und Schieber 5 relativ zueinander beweglich sind. Nabe 4 und Schieber 5 können auf dem Mast 6 verschoben werden. An dem Mast 6 ist ein Positionierungselement 8 in Form einer Ringhülse fixiert.The in the Fig. 1 and 2 pictured screen has a mast 6 with a mast foot 7. At the upper end of the mast 6 a crown 1 is arranged. With this roof bars 2 are hinged. On the roof rails 2 support struts 3 are hinged, which in turn are hinged to the hub 4 . The hub 4 is connected to the slider 5 so that the hub 4 and slide 5 are movable relative to each other. Hub 4 and slide 5 can be moved on the mast 6 . On the mast 6 , a positioning element 8 is fixed in the form of an annular sleeve.

Fig. 3 zeigt den erfindungsgemäßen Positionierungsmechanismus in der verrasteten Position. Der Rasthaken 9 ist auf einer Welle 10 gelagert, welche tangential zum Mast 6 verläuft. Der Rasthaken 9 ist durch eine Feder 11 so vorgespannt, dass das obere Ende 9.1 des Rasthakens 9 in Richtung des Mastes 6 gedrückt wird. Das Positionierungselement 8 besitzt unterhalb der Rastnut 8.1 eine schräge Fläche 8.2. Das obere Ende 9.1 des Rasthakens 9 greift in die Rastnut 8.1 des Positionierungselementes 8 ein, wodurch eine Abwärtsbewegung von Nabe 4 und Schieber 5 in Richtung des Mastfußes 7 verhindert wird. Fig. 3 shows the positioning mechanism according to the invention in the latched position. The latching hook 9 is mounted on a shaft 10 , which runs tangentially to the mast 6 . The latching hook 9 is biased by a spring 11 so that the upper end 9.1 of the latching hook is pressed in the direction of the mast 6. 9 The positioning element 8 has below the locking groove 8.1 an inclined surface 8.2. The upper end of the 9.1 Snap hook 9 engages in the locking groove 8.1 of the positioning element 8 , whereby a downward movement of the hub 4 and slide 5 in the direction of the mast base 7 is prevented.

Zum Öffnen des Schirmes und Verriegeln in der geöffneten Position werden Schieber 5 und Nabe 4 in Richtung der Krone 1 geschoben. Das durch die Feder 11 vorgespannte obere Ende 9.1 des Rasthakens 9 gleitet die schräge Fläche 8.2 empor, bis das obere Ende 9.1 des Rasthakens 9 infolge der Spannung der Feder 11 in die Rastnut 8.1 des Positionierungselementes 8 eingreift.To open the screen and locking in the open position slide 5 and hub 4 are pushed in the direction of the crown 1 . The biased by the spring 11 upper end 9.1 of the latching hook 9 slides up the inclined face 8.2, until the upper end of the latching hook engages 9.1 9 due to the tension of the spring 11 into the locking groove 8.1 of the positioning member. 8

Zum Entriegeln des Positionierungsmechanismus und Schließen des Schirmes wird der Schieber 5 in Richtung Mastfuß 7 bewegt. Da Schieber 5 und Nabe 4 relativ beweglich zueinander verbunden sind, drückt hierbei ein Vorsprung 5.1 des Schiebers 5 auf das untere Ende 9.2 des Rasthakens 9. Dadurch wird das obere Ende 9.1 des Rasthakens 9 aus der Rastnut 8.1 wegbewegt, so dass die Verrastung aufgehoben wird. Diese Situation ist in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Durch weiteres Verschieben von Schieber 5 und Nabe 4 in Richtung des Mastfußes 7 kann der Schirm geschlossen werden.To unlock the positioning mechanism and closing the screen, the slider 5 is moved towards Mastfuß 7 . Since slide 5 and hub 4 are relatively movable connected to each other, this presses a projection 5.1 of the slider 5 on the lower end 9.2 of the latching hook 9. As a result, the upper end 9.1 of the latching hook 9 is moved away from the locking groove 8.1 , so that the locking is released , This situation is in Fig. 4 shown. By further displacement of slide 5 and hub 4 in the direction of the mast 7 , the screen can be closed.

Der Mast 6 besitzt in den Figuren 3 und 4 eine Aussparung 12, in welche eine an dem Positionierungselement 8 optional vorgesehene Haltenase eingreifen kann, um die Position des Positionierungselementes 8 am Mast 6 zu definieren und zu fixieren.The mast 6 has in the Figures 3 and 4 a recess 12, in which an optionally provided on the positioning element 8 retaining lug can engage to define the position of the positioning element 8 on the mast 6 and to fix.

Wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt, ist es vorteilhaft, am Rasthaken 9 zwei Rippen 9.3 und 9.4 auszubilden, zwischen denen die Feder 11 positioniert ist. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, die Feder 11 auf der gleichen Welle 10 zu lagern, auf welcher der Rasthaken 9 gelagert ist.As in Fig. 5 As shown, it is advantageous to form two ribs 9.3 and 9.4 on the latching hook 9 , between which the spring 11 is positioned. It is advantageous to store the spring 11 on the same shaft 10 on which the latching hook 9 is mounted.

Im Falle eines mechanischen Defekts des Positionierungsmechanismus können Nabe 4 und Schieber 5 nach Lösen der gelenkigen Verbindung zwischen den Stützstreben 3 und der Nabe 4 von dem Mast 6 in Richtung Mastfuß 7abgezogen und repariert oder ausgetauscht werden.In the event of a mechanical failure of the positioning mechanism hub 4 and slide 5 can be withdrawn after the release of the articulated connection between the support struts 3 and the hub 4 of the mast 6 towards Mastfuß 7 and repaired or replaced.
