Definitions
- the present invention relates to a positioning mechanism for a screen, in particular a sunshade according to the preamble of claim 1.
- 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 ).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- a locking device is arranged at the hub. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the fixing of the positioning element on the mast can be done by means known in the art.
- 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.
- the in the Fig. 1 and 2 pictured screen has a mast 6 with a mast foot 7.
- a crown 1 is arranged at the upper end of the mast 6 .
- roof bars 2 are hinged.
- 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 .
- a positioning element 8 is fixed in the form of an annular sleeve.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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
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
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.
