Description

[0001] The invention relates to a building locking device arrangement for a building, comprising a building locking device, a cover attachable to the building locking device for connecting the building locking device to a building envelope, and a blackout device for the building locking device. The invention further relates to a method for mounting a building locking device arrangement.

[0002] For example, German patent DE 94 20 476 U1 is known from the prior art. This patent describes a roller blind for a fixed frame and a roof window or similar window with an interior lining, featuring a winding mechanism for a roller blind fabric or similar material. The winding mechanism is located on the interior side of a frame member of the fixed roof window. On such roller blinds, the winding mechanism can be dimensioned independently of the dimensions of the window openings in the wall, i.e., independently of the design of the interior lining, and solely tailored to the dimensions of the roof window to be covered. Thus, the fabrication of the roof window is combined with the fabrication of the roller blinds to be attached to it. In particular, this opens up the possibility for roof window manufacturers to offer a suitable roller blind together with the roof window from the outset.

[0003] The object of the invention is to propose a building locking device arrangement for a building which has advantages over known building locking device arrangements, in particular ensuring a pleasing optical appearance and also enabling quick and flexible mounting of the blackout device on the building locking device.

[0004] According to the invention, this is achieved with a building locking device arrangement for a building having the features of claim 1. It is provided that the blackout device is mounted on the cover, which can be mounted on the building locking device together with the blackout device.

[0005] Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. It should be noted that the exemplary embodiments described in the description are not limiting; rather, any variations of the features disclosed in the description, the claims, and the figures are possible.

[0006] The building locking device assembly can be an integral part of the building, but it can also exist separately, particularly until it is installed on the building. The building has a building envelope, on or within which the building locking device assembly is designed and configured. The building envelope lies between the building's exterior and interior, thus separating them. The building envelope is preferably designed as the building's walls or roof. The building locking device assembly serves to at least temporarily close the building, in particular to at least temporarily close an opening formed in the building envelope. The opening, which is at least temporarily closed by means of the building locking device assembly, is therefore either a wall opening or a roof opening.

[0007] The wall is designed specifically as an exterior wall of the building. The exterior wall consists, for example, of the exterior wall itself, thermal insulation, and / or at least one layer of plaster, in particular an exterior plaster layer and / or an interior plaster layer. The thermal insulation is preferably located on the outer surface of the exterior wall, i.e., on the side of the exterior wall facing the outside. The exterior plaster layer is also located on the side of the exterior wall facing the outside. Preferably, the thermal insulation is located between the exterior wall and the exterior plaster layer and is directly adjacent to them. The interior plaster layer, on the other hand, is located on the side of the exterior wall facing the interior, and in particular, it is directly adjacent to it.The term "outer wall" does not necessarily refer to a wall in the literal sense; rather, it can refer to any type of wall, especially a solid wall.

[0008] The roof essentially consists of a roof structure and a roof covering. The roof structure includes, for example, one or more rafters and one or more battens. Additionally, the roof structure has insulation, which can be designed as under-rafter insulation, between-rafter insulation, and / or above-rafter insulation. For clarity, the insulation is also referred to as roof insulation in this description. The battens can be divided into counter battens and purlins, with the presence of counter battens being optional. Purlins are usually angled, particularly perpendicular, to the rafters and attached to them. Counter battens, on the other hand, preferably run at an angle to the purlins, particularly perpendicular to them, and / or parallel or at least substantially parallel to the rafters.

[0009] The roof covering is attached to the exterior of the roof structure, thus defining its boundary with the outside environment. The roof covering refers specifically to the roofing material or roof waterproofing. This roofing material might consist of, for example, multiple roof tiles, roofing stones, shingles, or similar materials. Towards the interior, the roof structure is preferably bounded by an interior wall. This interior wall is attached to the roof structure on its interior-facing side. For example, an interior lining may be used to connect the building's locking mechanism to the interior wall.

[0010] The building closure device assembly comprises the closure mechanism, the cover, and the blackout device. The closure mechanism is preferably designed as a door or a window. The window can be a facade window or a roof window, particularly a residential roof window or skylight. The closure mechanism is designed to at least temporarily allow light to pass through the opening. For this purpose, it preferably has glazing, which can be, for example, single glazing or multiple glazing, particularly double glazing or triple glazing.

[0011] The blackout device serves to adjust the desired light transmission of the building's locking mechanism and / or to provide privacy. For this purpose, it is positioned relative to the locking mechanism in such a way that, in at least one position, it at least partially or even completely covers the glazing of the locking mechanism. The blackout device thus allows the brightness in the building's interior to be controlled. Additionally or alternatively, it serves to at least partially obscure the building's locking mechanism.

[0012] The blackout device is, for example, in the form of a roller shutter, a Venetian blind or a pleated blind.

[0013] In addition to the building locking device and the blackout mechanism, the building locking device assembly includes a cover. The cover serves to connect the building locking device to the building envelope, specifically to bridge any gap between the locking device and the building envelope. Furthermore, the cover at least partially conceals the building locking device, making it either not visible or only partially visible. The cover thus constitutes a visible component of the building locking device assembly, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0014] Preferably, the cover completely encloses the building locking device or a space adjacent to the building locking device. It thus forms a closed frame that defines an opening in the cover. The cover is positioned relative to the building locking device such that its opening overlaps with an opening defined by the building locking device, allowing access to the building locking device and its opening through the opening of the cover. The cover is made, for example, of plastic, wood, or similar materials. For instance, the cover may simply be attached to the building locking device and positioned so that it rests against the building envelope or, together with it, defines a viewing gap. Alternatively, the cover may be attached only to the building envelope.It is arranged in such a way that it rests against the building locking device or, together with it, limits the viewing gap. However, it is particularly preferred that the cover is attached to both the building locking device and the building envelope. This results in a particularly pleasing appearance.

[0015] To enable quick installation of the blackout device on the building locking mechanism and also to allow for flexible replacement of the blackout device, the blackout device is arranged on the cover and is mounted together with it on the building locking mechanism. In other words, the cover is already pre-assembled with the blackout device. Preferably, the blackout device and the cover are contained together in a single package for the cover, which is packaged separately from the building locking mechanism. Thus, the building locking mechanism and the cover are in separate packages, with the packaging for the cover also containing the blackout device.

[0016] The blackout device is particularly advantageous when it is pre-mounted on the cover, i.e., attached to the cover. Accordingly, the blackout device is removed from the packaging together with the cover and mounted on the building's locking mechanism together. Conversely, when the cover is removed from the locking mechanism, the blackout device is removed along with the cover. This allows for easy replacement of the blackout device together with the cover. This also simplifies the installation of the blackout device, as no attachment to the locking mechanism itself is required. For example, no mounting holes need to be drilled in the locking mechanism.Correct alignment of the blackout device with respect to the building locking mechanism is also ensured, as the connection to the building locking mechanism is made via the comparatively large cover area.

[0017] A further development of the invention provides that the blackout device is a roller shutter, a Venetian blind, or a pleated blind. This has already been mentioned. In each case, the blackout device serves to adjust the brightness in the interior and / or to achieve privacy. The advantages already mentioned are achieved in this way.

[0018] A further development of the invention provides that the cover serves as an inner lining for the building locking device. The inner lining connects the building locking device to an inner surface of the building envelope and, accordingly, to an interior wall. The interior wall can be part of the building wall or roof, or connected to the building wall or roof. The inner lining is preferably designed such that it engages partially in the recess formed in the building envelope. For this purpose, the cover has a first frame that encompasses the aforementioned opening of the cover in an imaginary plane, in particular completely and continuously. This first frame preferably extends to the building locking device arranged in the recess of the building envelope.

[0019] For example, the inner lining, together with the building locking device, encloses the viewing gap or rests directly against the building locking device. Preferably, a second frame extends from the first frame and is located outside the recess in the building envelope. After the building locking device assembly has been properly installed, the second frame is positioned such that it overlaps the building envelope beyond the recess. In particular, the second frame overlaps the inner wall. Like the first frame, the second frame also surrounds the opening of the cover, preferably completely and continuously. The two frames, or rather the legs of the two frames, are particularly preferably angled relative to each other, thus each forming an angle greater than 0° and less than 180°.

[0020] Alternatively, the cover can be an external lining for the building locking device. In this case, the cover is located on the outside of the building locking device, i.e., on a side facing the building's exterior environment. The building locking device is then connected to the exterior of the building envelope via the cover. This is done analogously to an internal lining, so please refer to the relevant specifications. In either case, the aforementioned advantages are achieved.

[0021] A further development of the invention provides that the blackout device is connected to the building locking device only indirectly via the cover. This means that after the building locking device assembly has been installed as intended, the blackout device is attached to the cover, and the cover is fixed in relation to the building locking device. Preferably, the cover is attached directly to the building locking device; however, it can also be connected to the building locking device only indirectly via the building envelope and fixed accordingly. For example, after the building locking device assembly has been installed, the blackout device is positioned at a distance from the building locking device. Of course, it can also rest against the building locking device but is not rigidly connected to it.This allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the blackout device.

[0022] A further development of the invention provides that, when the cover is arranged as intended, the blackout device is positioned between the cover and the building's locking mechanism. In this configuration, the cover is located on one side of the blackout device, and the building's locking mechanism on the other. Preferably, the blackout device is clamped between the cover and the building's locking mechanism. For example, the cover presses the blackout device towards the building's locking mechanism, particularly right up to it. Accordingly, the aforementioned advantages are achieved in a structurally simple manner.

[0023] A further development of the invention provides that the building locking device comprises a first frame element and a second frame element pivotally mounted about a pivot axis relative to the first frame element by means of a pivot bearing. The building locking device thus has several frame elements, namely the first frame element and the second frame element. Each of the frame elements has several frame members. The frame members are attached to one another in such a way that they enclose a section of the building locking device between them. The frame members each form a closed frame or a closed frame element. The frame elements or the multiple frame members are, in particular, designed such that they overlap and / or cover the recess in the building envelope.Preferably, the frame members are arranged and designed such that they, particularly together with the glazing, completely close the recess, at least temporarily. For this purpose, the glazing is preferably supported by one of the frame elements, especially the second frame element. For example, it is framed by the multiple frame members of the respective frame element.

[0024] The building locking device is openable and closable, meaning it can be opened and closed, and is designed accordingly. Consequently, the building locking device can be in different open states, in which the two frame elements of the building locking device are arranged differently relative to each other. For example, the building locking device is closed in one open state and at least partially or even fully open in a second open state. The first open state can also be referred to as the closed state and the second as the open state.In the closed state of the building closure device, an opening limited by the first frame element is closed further by the second frame element than in the open state; in particular, the opening of the first frame element is completely closed by the second frame element in the closed state, preferably together with the glazing.

[0025] The second frame element is movable relative to the first frame element, in particular pivotable or rotatable. If glazing is present, it is preferably arranged or attached to the second frame element and is only indirectly supported via the second frame element, in particular by the first frame element and / or the building envelope. Accordingly, the glazing, together with the second frame element, is movable relative to the first frame element, in particular pivotable or rotatable. For this purpose, the second frame element is pivotably mounted about the pivot axis relative to the first frame element by means of the pivot bearing. For example, the second frame element is connected to the first frame element via the pivot bearing. Alternatively or additionally, it is connected to the building envelope via the pivot bearing.The first frame element can generally be referred to as the frame and the second frame element as the sash frame.

[0026] A further development of the invention provides that, when arranged as intended, the cover rests against the first frame element and the building envelope, thus bridging any gap between the first frame element and the building envelope. The cover is arranged and designed in such a way that it bridges and thus covers the gap. On one side of the gap, the cover extends towards the building locking device or the first frame element, and on the other side towards the building envelope. Preferably, the cover rests against the first frame element on one side and the building envelope on the other, namely on opposite sides of the gap. This creates a visually appealing connection between the building locking device and the building envelope.

[0027] The invention further relates to a method for mounting a building locking device arrangement, in particular a building locking device arrangement according to the embodiments within the scope of this description, wherein the building locking device arrangement comprises a building locking device, a cover that can be arranged on the building locking device for connecting the building locking device to a building envelope of the building, and a blackout device for the building locking device.

[0028] The provision is that the blackout device is arranged on the cover, which is mounted together with the blackout device on the building locking device.

[0029] The advantages of such a design for the building locking device arrangement and such a procedure have already been mentioned. Both the building locking device arrangement and the method for its installation can be further developed as described in this document, and reference is made to these details.

[0030] A further development of the invention provides that a first cover arranged on the building locking device is removed from the building locking device, and the cover, which is present as a second cover, is arranged on the building locking device together with the doubling device. Thus, the first cover already on the building locking device is to be replaced by the second cover, which carries the blackout device. It can be provided that the first cover is designed without a blackout device, i.e., without a blackout device. This cover is replaced by the second cover, which has the blackout device. For example, the first cover is installed in winter and the second cover in summer to adapt the building locking device arrangement to the respective environmental conditions.

[0031] It can also be provided that a first blackout device is located on the first cover attached to the building closure device. The first blackout device is removed from the building closure device together with the first cover, and subsequently the second cover is attached to it. The blackout device, then referred to as the second blackout device, is located on the second cover. The two blackout devices preferably differ from each other, in particular they have different degrees of blackout. In this case, too, the building closure device arrangement can be quickly and easily adapted to the respective environmental conditions.

[0032] A further development of the invention provides that the cover attached to the building locking device, which contains a first blackout device, is removed from the building locking device, the first blackout device is replaced by the second blackout device, and the cover with the second blackout device is attached to the building locking device. In this procedure, the cover is used for both the first and the second blackout devices. To replace the first blackout device with the second, the cover with the first blackout device is removed from the building locking device. Subsequently, the first blackout device is removed from the cover, and the second blackout device is attached to the cover.The cover, along with the second blackout device, is then reattached to the building's locking mechanism. It is particularly preferred that the first and second blackout devices are mounted to the cover without tools, meaning they can be attached to and removed from the cover without the use of tools. For example, a locking mechanism is provided, allowing each blackout device to be snapped into place on the cover. This makes replacing the blackout device particularly easy.

[0033] The features and combinations of features described in the description, in particular those described in the following figure description and / or shown in the figures, can be used not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or individually, without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, embodiments that are not explicitly shown or explained in the description and / or the figures, but which emerge from or can be derived from the explained embodiments, are also to be considered as encompassed by the invention.

[0034] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing, without limiting the invention. The only embodiment shown is... Fig. 1 A schematic representation of an area of ​​a building with a building locking device arrangement.

[0035] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an area of ​​a building 1, wherein a recess is formed in a building envelope 2 of the building 1, in which a building locking device assembly 3 is arranged. The building locking device assembly 3 comprises at least a building locking device 4, a cover 5, and a blackout device 6. In the illustrated embodiment, the building locking device is designed as a roof window or skylight, and the cover 5 is in the form of an interior lining. The building locking device 4 is connected to the building envelope 2 via the cover 5, in this case to an interior wall 7 of the building envelope 2.

[0036] The blackout device 6 is intended to be attached to the cover 5 and connected to the building locking device 4 only indirectly via the cover 5. The blackout device 6 is installed together with the cover. Therefore, the building locking device 4 is first attached to the building envelope 2. The blackout device 6 is then connected to or attached to the cover 5 and positioned together with the cover 5 on the building locking device 4. For example, the cover 5 is attached to the building locking device 4 and / or the building envelope 2.

[0037] This results in the possibility of offering the consumer different blackout devices 6 together with their respective matching covers 5, so that the cover 5 and the blackout device 6 form a visually cohesive unit and are optimally coordinated. Furthermore, the installation of the blackout device 6 is simple and error-free because separate alignment of the doubling device 6 is unnecessary. Alignment is achieved using the cover 5.
