Description

[0001] The invention relates to a roller shutter box for receiving a roller shutter for a window or door.

[0002] The invention lies in the technical field of inspection hatches or maintenance flaps for roller shutter enclosures, in order to make them quickly and easily accessible and then to close them tightly and securely again.

[0003] A maintenance hatch or inspection hatch is a hatch that, as a service opening, allows sporadic access to a cavity behind it for the purpose of maintenance or inspection.

[0004] A flap for the roller shutter box offers reliable protection against heat, cold, dirt and weathering.

[0005] Cladding or enclosures create hard-to-reach cavities that nevertheless need to be checked for dirt or pest infestation. Insects such as bees or wasps, as well as birds, sometimes nest in roller shutter boxes, which can pose a danger to people and animals. In such cases, it is necessary to have access to the cavity in order to remove the nests.

[0006] Access to the building services (e.g., electrical installations) is also often necessary. For example, if the electronics for controlling the roller shutter fail, it may be necessary to access the electrical installations located in the roller shutter box.

[0007] It is known from current technology that when used as a building component (e.g., as access to roller shutter or blind boxes), inspection hatches are often screwed in place or glued with elastic joint sealants. This has the disadvantage that the openings cannot be easily and repeatedly opened and closed.

[0008] The following are known from the prior art: DE 202009003384U1, DE19801829A1, DE20200627U1, DE202019101126U1, EP3434855B1 and JP002011144585A.

[0009] The invention aims to provide a roller shutter box that overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and offers a quick and easy way to make an inspection opening accessible.

[0010] The problem is solved by a roller shutter box for receiving a roller shutter for a window or door, comprising the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0011] The invention comprises a roller shutter box for accommodating a roller shutter for a window or door. The roller shutter box includes a first receiving section on a facade section and a second receiving section on a window section. In each receiving section, a first inspection profile between the facade section and a roller shutter slat and a second inspection profile between the window section and the roller shutter slat can be pivoted into a locking position. In each receiving section, a first inspection profile between the facade section and a roller shutter slat and a second inspection profile between the window section and the roller shutter slat can be pivoted out of the locking position to provide an inspection opening.This makes it possible to attach the inspection profiles to the roller shutter box by simply snapping them into place and to provide an inspection opening by simply unclipping them, without having to open and then close an opening in a resource-intensive (time, material) manner.

[0012] One advantageous aspect is that the first mounting section and the first inspection profile, and the second mounting section and the second inspection profile, are designed to be complementary along one side. This allows the mounting sections and inspection profiles to be universally installed on different roller shutters without the need for complex additional construction to adapt them to different roller shutter boxes.

[0013] It is particularly advantageous if the first intake section and the first inspection profile, and the second intake section and the second inspection profile, are complementary along one side over their entire length. This allows an inspection opening to be opened and closed along the entire length of the roller shutter box, thus enabling work on the roller shutter, for example, to be carried out easily and without space restrictions.

[0014] According to a preferred design, the first and second intake sections comprise a first part with a concave recess and a second part with a locking lug. This allows the intake section to be manufactured simply and cost-effectively.

[0015] From an advantageous perspective, the first and second inspection profiles comprise a first part with a convex outer section and a second part with a locking lug. This eliminates the need for additional, costly seals to close the inspection opening.

[0016] It is particularly advantageous if the first receiving section and the first revision profile, as well as the second receiving section and the second revision profile, are at least partially made of an elastic material. This allows for a locking mechanism in which a correspondingly shaped outer section and a locking lug are arranged along two end sections of a U-shape. This ensures a high service life for the receiving sections and revision profiles.

[0017] It has proven advantageous if the first intake section and the first revision profile, as well as the second intake section and the second revision profile, are at least partially made of a plastic / aluminum material. This allows the intake sections and revision profiles to be manufactured cost-effectively and to a high standard.

[0018] It is particularly advantageous if the first and second inspection profiles each include a brush section. This allows the inspection profile to be positioned, for example, against a guide rail for a roller shutter seal without damaging the guide rail.

[0019] It is particularly advantageous if the brush section is arranged on the side of the inspection profile opposite the receiving section. The brush section can also extend only over a portion of the width of the inspection profile. This allows for the production of an inspection profile that maintains a predetermined distance between the receiving section and, for example, a guide rail.

[0020] One advantageous aspect is that a flat surface is positioned between the brush section and the receiving section. This allows for improved stability of the revision profiles.

[0021] Furthermore, the roller shutter box preferably includes a locking element designed to lock the inspection profiles in the latched position against pivoting out. This prevents an inspection profile from being unintentionally released.

[0022] Advantageously, the roller shutter box can comprise an end slat and a cover plate, which are complementary on one side, with the cover plate having a concave recess and a locking lug, and the end slat having a convex outer section and a locking lug. This allows the cover plate to be easily detached from the end slat.

[0023] The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing.

[0024] They show: Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a roller shutter box according to the invention with two receiving sections and two inspection profiles. Fig. 2 shows a version of the roller shutter box with an easily removable end panel.

[0025] In Fig. 1 Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a roller shutter box 1 according to the invention for receiving a roller shutter 2 for a window or door (not shown). The example shown is a flush-mounted box, but the invention is applicable to all types of roller shutter boxes.

[0026] The roller shutter box 1 comprises a first receiving section 3 on a facade section 7 (box wall that can be plastered together with the facade) and a second receiving section 4 on a window section 8 (window frame profile).

[0027] In sections 3 and 4, a first inspection profile 5 (extending across the entire length of the opening) between the facade section 7 and a roller shutter slat 6, and a second inspection profile 9 (extending across the entire length of the opening) between the window section 8 and the roller shutter slat 6, can be pivoted into a locking position. In sections 3 and 4, a first inspection profile 5 between the facade section 7 and a roller shutter slat 6, and a second inspection profile 9 between the window section 8 and the roller shutter slat 6, can be pivoted out of the locking position to reveal an inspection opening behind them.

[0028] The first recording section 3 and the first revision profile 5 and the second recording section 4 and the second revision profile 9 are formed complementarily along one side.

[0029] The first recording section 3 and the first revision profile 5 and the second recording section 4 and the second revision profile 9 are designed to be complementary (shaped to allow pivotable engagement) along one side over the entire length.

[0030] The first and second recording sections 3, 4 comprise a first part with a concave recess 1 and a second part with a locking lug 10.

[0031] The first and second revision profiles 5, 9 comprise a first part with a convex outer section 12 and a second part with a locking lug 13.

[0032] The first recording section 3 and the first revision profile 5 and the second recording section 4 and the second revision profile 9 are at least partially made of an elastic material.

[0033] The first recording section 3 and the first revision profile 5 and the second recording section 4 and the second revision profile 9 are at least partially made of a plastic / aluminium material.

[0034] The first and second revision profiles 5, 9 each comprise a brush section 14. The brush section 14 is arranged on a side of the revision profile 5, 9 opposite the receiving section 3, 4.

[0035] A flat surface 15 is arranged between the brush section 14 and the receiving section 3, 4.

[0036] In Fig. 2 An alternative embodiment of the roller shutter box 1 according to the invention is shown. Here, the end slat 16 and an end cover 17 are designed to be complementary.

[0037] The end cap 17 comprises a first locking lug 18 and a second locking lug 19. The end plate 16 comprises a first, concave recess 21 for receiving the first locking lug (18) and a second, concave recess 20 for receiving the second locking lug (19). Advantageously, the end cap overlaps the brush section 14 to create a thermally defined seal. The end cap can also incorporate a sealant for this purpose.
