Description

[0001] The invention relates to a closure arrangement for openings, in particular of furniture, shelves, baskets, containers, buildings, walls, vehicles, cabinet furniture and the like, with at least one closure device, in particular a blind, roller shutter and the like, which is arranged in the area of ​​at least one opening to be movable from a closed position (GP) to an open position (OP) and back, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to an object with at least one opening, in particular furniture, shelves, baskets, containers, buildings, walls, vehicles, cabinet furniture and windows with at least one such closure arrangement.

[0002] Such locking mechanisms have proven their worth for many years and are known in various designs.

[0003] DE 102017000214 A1 discloses a closure arrangement, in particular for cabinet furniture, with a louvered blind which is arranged in the area of ​​an opening of a cabinet furniture so as to be movable from a closed position to an open position and back, and has louvers arranged parallel to each other which are movable in lateral guides during their opening and closing movement, wherein the lateral guides of the louvers are formed by respective guide tracks which have a first essentially straight vertical or horizontal guide track and a second guide track which is oriented essentially orthogonally to the first guide track, so that at least a part of the louvers of the blind can be moved from a closed position to an open position located inside the cabinet, in which the louvers are arranged one behind the other in a packed position parallel to each other.Furthermore, a second vertical or horizontal guide track is provided parallel to the first vertical or horizontal guide track, with a guide body of a lamella engaging in the second guide track. The closure arrangement is further designed such that the first vertical or horizontal guide track transitions into a first second guide track orthogonal to it with a curved corner region (E), and the second first vertically or horizontally oriented guide track transitions via an arc-shaped corner region (E1) into a second second guide track orthogonal to the second first guide track.

[0004] A disadvantage of this locking mechanism is that it is very expensive to manufacture and to assemble in a complex process.

[0005] A further disadvantage of this locking arrangement is that it can only be installed if costly and technically demanding milling work has been carried out in the side walls and / or the top or bottom of cabinet furniture in particular.

[0006] Another disadvantage is that this type of locking mechanism takes up a lot of space or storage area in, for example, a cabinet, which is then no longer available to the user.

[0007] Another disadvantage is that this locking mechanism is mechanically very complex to design and therefore must be manufactured with very tight tolerances, and is extremely maintenance-intensive, requires care, and is prone to malfunctions in use.

[0008] This is where the invention comes in, which aims to overcome the disadvantages of the known prior art and to present a closure arrangement that is economical and sustainable to manufacture, applicable to both horizontal and vertical use, suitable for closing new openings, particularly in furniture, as well as for closing existing openings, particularly in furniture, through replacement installations, and designed in such a way that a possible replacement of the slats is straightforward and cost-effective. A further object of the invention is an object with at least one opening, particularly furniture, shelves, cabinets, containers, buildings, walls, vehicles, wardrobes, and windows, with at least one such closure arrangement.

[0009] This problem is solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims. The further problem is solved by the features of claim 11.

[0010] It has surprisingly been found that a closure arrangement for openings, in particular of furniture, shelves, baskets, containers, buildings, walls, vehicles, cabinet furniture and the like, with at least one closure device, in particular blinds, roller shutters and the like, which is arranged in the area of ​​at least one opening to be movable from a closed position (GP) to an open position (OP) and back, which is in operative connection with at least one guide device arranged at the opening, which has slat elements, wherein the slat elements each have at least one connecting device on their end faces, wherein the connecting device has at least one receiving element with at least one first opening and at least one second opening, is characterized in that at least two connecting devices arranged side by side in the closure device are connected via at least one,Separate connecting elements are arranged in the first opening of the first connecting device and the second opening of the second connecting device. This makes it possible to provide closure assemblies that are economical and sustainable to manufacture, suitable for both horizontal and vertical applications, and usable for closing openings in new furniture as well as for closing existing openings in furniture through replacement assembly.

[0011] Another advantage of this locking arrangement is that the individual components can be assembled very easily and quickly without tools.

[0012] Another advantage is that with this closure arrangement, the mounted louver elements can be replaced easily, cost-effectively and in accordance with the design requirements of the customers.

[0013] Another advantage of the locking mechanism is that it was not only mechanically operated by hand, but could also be moved electrically later by means of a motor.

[0014] The locking mechanism is designed such that the connecting element is arranged in the opening of the receiving elements of the connecting device in a force-fit and / or form-fit manner. This results in efficient, quick, and tool-free assembly of the locking mechanism.

[0015] The locking mechanism is also advantageously designed such that the connecting element provides a force-fit and / or form-fit connection, allowing rotational movement between the opposing openings of the receiving elements of the connecting device. In addition to the effective assembly of the locking mechanism, it is suitable, when used as intended, for almost all types of furniture, particularly cabinets, with regard to cabinet width, height, and radii for locking devices.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking arrangement is designed such that the connecting element has at least one locking element.

[0017] The locking mechanism is further designed such that the locking element of the connecting element engages the first opening of at least one receiving element of the connecting device in a snap-fit ​​manner. In addition to cost-effective and sustainable manufacturing of the individual components of the locking mechanism, this advantageously makes the assembly of these components very simple and possible without tools.

[0018] Furthermore, the locking mechanism is designed such that the connecting element has at least one base and a guide element projecting from it. This also leads to economical and sustainable manufacturing of the individual components of the locking mechanism.

[0019] Furthermore, the locking mechanism is designed such that the connecting element has at least two locking elements spaced apart from each other by at least one opening. This makes the locking mechanism very easy to assemble and, when used as intended, ensures that it is both quiet and securely mounted.

[0020] Furthermore, the locking mechanism is designed such that the connecting element has at least one cavity. This leads to economical and sustainable manufacturing of the components.

[0021] The locking arrangement is furthermore designed such that the connecting device has a base and at least one receiving element arranged on this base. The locking arrangement is further designed such that the receiving element of the connecting device has at least one opening.

[0022] Advantageously, the locking arrangement is designed such that the receiving elements of the connecting device are connected to each other via at least one stiffening element. This enables economical and sustainable manufacturing of the individual components of the locking arrangement, while furthermore optimizing the stability and strength of the connecting device.

[0023] It is also advantageous if the closure arrangement is designed such that the connecting device and / or the connecting element and / or the lamellar elements are at least partially made of a polymeric and / or a thermosetting and / or a metallic and / or a ceramic material.

[0024] This makes it possible to produce the components of the closure assembly economically and sustainably, and on the other hand, the components of the closure assembly can be adapted to the respective requirements through an optimal selection of materials.

[0025] The material of the connecting device and / or the connecting element and / or the lamellar elements is based on polyolefin, such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE); a styrene-based polymer, such as polystyrene (PS) or styrene-butadiene copolymer with a predominant styrene content (SB) or acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate copolymers (ASA) or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS) or styreneacrylonitrile (SAN); polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); polyethylene terephthalate (PET); polyoxymethylene (POM); polyamide (PA); polycarbonate (PC); polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA); polyphenylene oxide (PPO); polyetheretherketone (PEEK); polyphenylene sulfide (PPS); liquid crystal polymer (LCP); polyamide-imides (PAI); polyphenylsulfone (PPSU); polyaryletherketone (PAEK); polyacrylonitrile (PAN); polyetherketone (PEK); polyimide (PI); polyisobutene (PIB); polyphthalamide (PPA); polypyrrole (PPY); Polyurethane (PUR); polyvinyl alcohol (PVA);Polyvinyl acetate (PVAC) is based on thermoplastic polymers based on olefins (TPE), such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and mixtures of at least two of these materials;

[0026] Suitable thermosetting materials include phenolic resin, urea resin or melamine resin, but also epoxy resins, crosslinkable polyurethanes and unsaturated polyester resins.

[0027] Suitable fillers and / or reinforcing materials can be added to the thermoplastic / thermoplastic material of the connecting device and / or the connecting element and / or the lamellar elements, which positively influence the mechanical properties, in particular glass fibers, glass beads, but also fillers such as chalk, talc, Teflon and the like.

[0028] The fillers and / or reinforcing materials are present in quantities of approximately 2 to 75 wt.%, preferably 5 to 45 wt.%, based on the total mass. This makes it possible for the first time to design the geometry of the connecting device and / or the connecting element and / or the lamellar elements and / or the closure device in an automated, economical, cost-effective, and visually appealing manner. By incorporating and varying the reinforcing materials into the material of the connecting device and / or the connecting element, the flexural stiffness and the modulus of elasticity, in particular, can be optimally adjusted and varied according to legal requirements as well as the required closure arrangement.

[0029] Metallic materials, as used here, refer specifically to alloys, particularly ferrous alloys such as steel, cast iron, and stainless steel, as well as non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc. Also included are metallic materials made from non-ferrous alloys, such as brass and bronze.

[0030] The ceramic materials used are selected from clay ceramics, porcelain, technical ceramics, composite ceramics, oxide or non-oxide ceramics and the like.

[0031] Furthermore, the closure arrangement is advantageously designed such that the material of the connecting device and / or the connecting element contains at least one of the following additives: stabilizers to improve resistance to light, UV radiation, and weathering; stabilizers to improve thermal and thermo-oxidative resistance; stabilizers to improve hydrolytic resistance; stabilizers to improve acidolytic resistance; lubricants; demolding aids; color additives; crystallization-regulating substances and nucleating agents; flame retardants; impact modifiers; fillers; and / or plasticizers. The additives may advantageously comprise renewable raw materials in proportions of 0.01 to 100%, preferably 20 to 100%, and particularly preferably 40 to 100%, as verified by mass balance analysis, e.g., using ISCC.

[0032] The invention further relates to an object with at least one opening, in particular furniture, shelves, baskets, containers, buildings, walls, vehicles, cabinet furniture and windows, with at least one closing arrangement according to the preceding descriptions.

[0033] Alternatively, the locking mechanism can be manufactured using an additive manufacturing process, e.g., a 3D printing process. Advantageously, machine-readable, three-dimensional models can be used for manufacturing the locking mechanism. The invention also includes a method for generating a machine-readable, three-dimensional model for use in a manufacturing process for a locking mechanism.

[0034] This process includes, in particular, the input of data representing a closure assembly into a data processing machine and the use of this data to represent a closure assembly as a three-dimensional model, whereby the three-dimensional model is suitable for use in the manufacture of a closure assembly. The closure assembly can be manufactured wholly or partially using a line-by-line or layer-by-layer manufacturing process. The use of a 3D dataset during the assembly or manufacturing process is highly advantageous.The process also includes a technique in which the input data from one or more 3D scanners, operating either on contact or non-contact, is used. In the latter case, energy is delivered to a closure assembly and the reflected energy is received. A virtual three-dimensional model of the closure assembly is then generated using computer-aided design software. The manufacturing process can include an additive manufacturing process, in particular selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective heat sintering (SHS), selective electron beam melting (EBM / EBAM), or binder jetting.The manufacturing process may include an additive manufacturing process, in particular welding, wax deposition modeling (WDM), contour crafting, metal powder deposition (MPA), plastic powder deposition, cold gas spraying, electron beam welding (EBW), or fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrication (FFF). The manufacturing process may also include an additive liquid material process, in particular stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), multi-jet modeling (MJM), polyjet modeling, or liquid composite molding (LCM). Furthermore, the manufacturing process may include other additive layer-by-layer processes, in particular laminated object modeling (LOM), 3D screen printing, or light-controlled electrophoretic deposition.
