Description

[0001] Guide system for the movable mounting of at least one cover element for covering an opening in a fixed structure

[0002] The present invention relates to a guide system according to the features of the preamble of claim 1, an arrangement with such a guide system and a method for covering and opening at least one opening in a fixed structure by means of at least one cover element.

[0003] Guide systems are used for a wide variety of applications. For example, guide systems can support two or more assemblies in a movable manner relative to one another using rail devices and / or joint devices.

[0004] A common application of a guide system is the sliding support of cover elements such as windows, doors, or panels in fixed structures such as wall elements. Such guide systems can also be used for drawers in tables or other movable components of fixed structures.

[0005] By means of a guide system, a first assembly, connected to a cover element, can be moved relative to a second assembly, connected to a fixed structure, in order to at least partially expose or cover an opening in the fixed structure. It can also be provided that the guide system can move two assemblies in more than one direction of movement. For example, it can be advantageous to use a guide system to move a window out of an opening in a wall and then to move the window along the wall so as to no longer cover the opening but to expose it. The problem with guide systems for the movable mounting of at least one cover element relative to a fixed structure is that the opening and / or closing can occur unintentionally, too easily and / or too quickly and / or too uncontrollably.For example, it is problematic if a covering element such as a window changes from a closed to an open state on its own. Such an independent opening of a window can be caused, for example, by the effects of wind, which creates the risk of damage.

[0006] In another example, if a cover element is opened too easily, this can be problematic in that people, such as children, can accidentally or carelessly open it and fall from a fixed structure, posing a significant risk to life and limb.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to at least partially remedy the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a guide system that is improved compared to the prior art and is characterized in particular by increased control over the covering and / or uncovering of an opening in a fixed structure by a cover element. The object is further to provide an arrangement with such an improved guide system and a method that is improved compared to the prior art for covering and opening at least one opening in a fixed structure by means of at least one cover element.

[0008] This object is achieved by the features of claims 1, 17 and 21. This object is achieved by means of a guide system according to claim 1, namely by a guide system for the movable mounting of at least one cover element for covering an opening in a fixed structure, wherein the guide system has at least one first assembly for arrangement on the fixed structure and at least one second assembly for arrangement on at least one cover element, wherein the guide system has a first guide device, by means of which the two assemblies are movable relative to one another in a first direction of movement, and a second guide device, by means of which the two assemblies are movable relative to one another in a second direction of movement transversely, in particular orthogonally, to the first direction of movement, wherein at least one arresting device is provided, wherein the at least one arresting device in at least one arresting position,in which a movement of the second assembly along the second direction of movement can be braked and / or blocked, and in at least one release position, in which a movement of the second assembly along the second direction of movement is substantially unaffected by the at least one inhibiting device,

[0009] The at least one inhibiting device thus makes it possible to inhibit the movement of the at least one first assembly relative to the at least one second assembly, in other words to brake or block or both to brake and block.

[0010] This results in three advantageous cases:

[0011] 1 . Case : The braking device can be used for braking .

[0012] 2 . Case : The arresting device can be used for blocking .

[0013] 3 . Case : The braking device can be used for braking and blocking .

[0014] To explain the effect of the invention, a

[0015] An exemplary embodiment is used in which the guide system is arranged with one assembly on a window and with another assembly on a wall. This exemplary embodiment is not intended to be limiting, but rather to clearly describe the advantages of the invention.

[0016] In the aforementioned embodiment, the window can be moved out of an opening in the wall or vice versa, which corresponds to a movement along the first direction of movement. If the window is subsequently moved along the wall, the opening in the wall can be exposed, which corresponds to a movement along the second direction of movement. Conversely, the window can be pushed back to at least partially cover the opening.

[0017] In the first case of the aforementioned embodiment, the arresting device can slow down any movement of the window along the second direction of movement. This is particularly advantageous if, for example, the window is open and a gust of wind moves the window along the second direction of movement. Thus, a strong gust of wind could cause damage to the window, the guide system and / or the wall, but with the help of the arresting device, the movement can be slowed down, preventing any damage to the parts. This can also provide additional protection for users who could injure themselves in such a case due to an uncontrolled moving window.

[0018] In the second case of the aforementioned embodiment, the locking device can block the window from moving in the second direction of movement. This is particularly advantageous when children are playing on a windowsill. A child could lean against the window and thus unintentionally move the window along the wall in the second direction of movement and release the opening in the wall. In such a case, the child could fall out of the opening and seriously injure themselves. The locking device can prevent such a movement of the window because the locking device must be deliberately moved into a release position before the window can be moved and thus the opening can be released.

[0019] In the third case of the aforementioned embodiment, the locking device can block and slow down the window from moving along the second direction of movement. This case combines the advantages of the first two cases and thus provides protection against damage to the components and protection for the user, particularly as a child safety device.

[0020] The term "inhibiting" in connection with an inhibiting device which can be arranged in at least one inhibiting position and / or a release position is understood here to mean braking, i.e. slowing down, and / or blocking a movement. A braking device can therefore inhibit by deliberately braking the movement of one part relative to another, for example by frictional contact between the two parts. Instead of or in addition to braking, the inhibiting device can also inhibit by deliberately blocking the movement of one part relative to another part, in other words stopping or delaying it or preventing it from the outset, for example by means of a bolt and a bolt receiver which prevent at least one movement of the two parts relative to one another by contact.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting device or at least a part thereof is an integral part of the guide system, preferably of the second guide device and / or one of the two assemblies, and / or of a cover element and / or of a fixed

[0022] Structure is . Further advantageous embodiments of the arrangement are defined in the dependent claims.

[0023] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system, it can be provided that the first guide device has at least one, preferably two, particularly preferably four, articulated device, by means of which the two assemblies can be brought into at least two articulated end positions along the first direction of movement, wherein in a second articulated end position the two assemblies have a greater distance, preferably between 50 mm and 200 mm, particularly preferably between 100 mm and 150 mm, relative to one another than in a first articulated end position, preferably wherein the at least one articulated device has at least one toggle lever with at least two straight and / or partially curved toggle lever arms, particularly preferably a toggle lever pair comprising a support toggle lever with at least two support toggle lever arms and a drive toggle lever with at least two drive toggle lever arms.

[0024] The joint device can serve to move the second assembly away from the first assembly just far enough to enable movement along the second direction of movement, in a specific embodiment along the fixed structure.

[0025] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting element has at least one rotatably and / or displaceably mounted brake piece, preferably for a friction brake, an electric brake, a hydraulic and / or a magnetic brake, particularly preferably a brake block, a brake wedge, a brake comb and / or a brake pad, wherein a movement of the second assembly along the second direction of movement can be braked by the at least one brake piece in conjunction with the at least one counterpart, and / or has at least one rotatably and / or displaceably mounted blocking piece, preferably a bolt, wherein a movement of the second assembly along the second direction of movement can be blocked by the at least one blocking piece in conjunction with the at least one counterpart.

[0026] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system, it can be provided that the at least one counterpart has at least one braking counterpart, preferably for a friction brake, an electric brake, a hydraulic and / or a magnetic brake, particularly preferably with a brake pad, wherein a movement of the second assembly along the second direction of movement can be braked by the at least one braking counterpart in conjunction with the at least one inhibiting element, and / or at least one blocking counterpart, preferably a bolt receiver for a rotatably and / or displaceably mounted bolt, wherein a movement of the second assembly along the second direction of movement can be blocked by the at least one blocking counterpart in conjunction with the at least one inhibiting element.

[0027] If the braking device takes over the function of braking, a braking piece can be provided, whereby a braking piece, for example a brake block, can lead to braking through frictional contact with a braking counterpart, for example a brake strip with an integrated or separate brake pad.

[0028] A brake piece and / or a brake counterpart may have a brake pad, wherein a brake pad may, for example, be a powder coating, a roughened surface, and / or a fabric band. During braking, the brake piece may move relative to the brake counterpart, or the brake counterpart may move relative to the brake piece, or both the brake piece and the brake counterpart may move relative to each other during braking.

[0029] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting element has at least one blocking piece and the at least one counterpart has at least one blocking counterpart, and the at least one inhibiting element and / or the at least one counterpart has a bevel, preferably a beveled surface, wherein the at least one inhibiting element can pass the at least one counterpart unidirectionally through the at least one bevel during a movement of the two assemblies relative to one another along the second direction of movement.

[0030] This can be particularly advantageous if, for example, for safety reasons, the assemblies are to be blocked in one direction along the second direction of movement and are not to be blocked in the other direction along the second direction of movement. In the aforementioned specific embodiment, in which a window can be moved along a wall by means of the guide system, the blocking device can thus block the sliding of the window to release the opening in the wall for safety reasons and at the same time ensure that the opening in the wall can be covered without actuating the blocking device, specifically by at least one bevel and thus enabling passage.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the guide system, it can be provided that the drive device can be operated manually and / or electrically.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the guidance system, it can be provided that the drive device can be remotely controlled, wherein the drive device can be connected to a control unit by means of a physical line, in particular a cable, and / or wirelessly, in particular via a radio connection.

[0044] - preferably wherein the arrangement is designed according to claim 18 or 19 and the at least one actuator is at least partially concealed and / or inaccessible by at least a part of the arrangement in the closed position and is at least partially visible and / or accessible in the open position.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the arrangement, it can be provided that the actuation of the actuator moves the locking device into the locking position or release position when the actuator is folded out or in. However, it can also be provided that actuation, preferably by pulling a lever arm of the actuator, takes place only after the actuator has been folded out in order to move the locking device into the locking position or release position. Actuating the actuator after folding out can be an additional safety precaution in order to further increase control over the covering and / or uncovering of the opening of the fixed structure.

[0046] Furthermore, protection is sought for a method, namely a method for covering and opening at least one opening in a fixed structure by means of at least one covering element, wherein the following method steps are provided:

[0168] The compensation device 46 can serve to prevent the cover element 2 from tipping as a result of movement along the second movement direction 9. This is particularly useful when the cover element is no longer supported at all four corners, but at least a portion of the cover element 2 is free-standing without support. In such a case, the cover element 2 can be moved in an undesirable manner by gravity.

[0169] According to a preferred embodiment of the guidance system 1, a guidance system 1 can be provided, comprising:

[0175] Fig. 28 and 29 show the embodiment of the arrangement from Fig. 26 and 27 in the open position 51 with a folded actuator 37.

[0176] Fig. 28 shows the arrangement 48 from Fig. 26 and 27, wherein the arrangement 48, triggered by the first guide device 6, is no longer in the closed position 50 but in the open position 51.

[0178] Fig. 29 shows a detailed view F from Fig. 28.

[0179] In the open position 51 of Fig. 28, in addition to the actuator 37, a part of the guide system 1 can also be seen. The actuator 37 is located in the cover element 2 and in a folded position, so that the actuator 37, specifically the lever arm of the actuator 37, is flush with the surface of the cover element 2. A part of the second guide device 8, specifically a joint device 13, is located in the second joint end position 14.

[0180] Fig. 30 and 31 show the embodiment of the arrangement from Fig. 26 and 27 in the open position 51 with an extended actuator 37.

[0181] In contrast to Fig. 26 to 29, the actuator 37 in Fig. 30 is in an unfolded state.

[0182] Fig. 31 shows a detailed view G from Fig. 30.

[0183] In Fig. 31 it can be seen that the actuator 37 is no longer flush with the surface of the cover element 2, but in its unfolded state protrudes with its lever arm from an opening of the cover element 2.

[0184] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the actuator 37 can be folded out by pressing one of its ends, preferably an end of the actuator 37 opposite the lever arm.

[0185] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the actuator 37 is actuated by folding out the lever arm, in other words the inhibiting device 10 is brought into an inhibiting position 11 and / or the inhibiting device 10 is brought into a release position 12.

[0186] In a preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the actuator 37 does not actuate the locking device 10 by folding out the lever arm, but rather the locking device 10 is only actuated by additionally pulling the lever arm of the actuator 37, in other words the locking device 10 is brought into an inhibiting position 11 and / or the locking device 10 is brought into a release position 12.

[0187] According to a preferred embodiment of the arrangement 48, it can be provided that

[0188] - wherein the at least one actuator 37 is arranged on the cover element 2, preferably on a side of the cover element 2 facing the at least one opening 49 of the fixed structure 3, and / or on the fixed structure 3, preferably on a side of the fixed structure 3 facing the cover element 2, and / or

[0190] - preferably wherein the arrangement 48 is designed according to claim 18 or 19 and the at least one actuator 37 is at least partially concealed and / or inaccessible by at least a part of the arrangement 48 in the closed position 50 and is at least partially visible and / or accessible in the open position 51.

[0191] Fig. 32 to 37 show an embodiment of an inhibiting device 10.

[0192] Fig. 32 shows a perspective view of a guide system 1, a cover element 2 and an inhibiting device 10.

[0193] Fig. 33 shows a detailed view H in which a part of the guide system 1, the cover element 2 and the inhibiting device 10 from Fig. 32 can be seen.

[0194] A blocking device 10 may comprise the following components: - at least one blocking element 27,

[0195] - at least one counterpart 28,

[0196] - at least one spring device 36,

[0197] - at least one agent 38,

[0198] - at least one actuator 37.

[0199] Fig. 33 shows that an active mediator 38, specifically a rope, runs along the first direction of movement 7. The active mediator 38 extends to a braking element 27.

[0200] Fig. 34 shows a detailed view I of a part of the inhibiting device 10 from Fig. 33.

[0201] As shown in Fig. 34, the inhibiting device 10 may comprise an active agent 38, an inhibiting element 27, a counterpart 28, a spring device 36.

[0202] As shown in Fig. 34, the locking element 27 can be connected via the spring device 36 to a part of the first guide device 6 and / or the second guide device 8 that is displaceable along the second direction of movement 9, specifically to a carriage 23. This makes it possible to move the cover element 2 along the second direction of movement 9 when the locking device 10 is in a release position 12.

[0203] The preloaded spring force of the spring device 36 can displace the locking element 27, as shown in Fig. 34, into a receiving area 34 of the counterpart 28. In this locking position 11, the locking element 27 comes into contact with the boundary 35 of the receiving area 34 of the counterpart 28 as soon as the cover element is displaced along the second direction of movement 9, specifically from the open position 51. The locking position 11 shown in Fig. 34 thus blocks the lateral displacement of the cover element 2.

[0204] As indicated in Fig. 32 to 34, by actuating the actuator 37, the active agent 38 can pull the inhibiting element 27 along the first direction of movement 7 in the direction of the cover element 2 against the prestressed spring force of the spring device 36. In this way, the inhibiting element 27 moves out of the receiver region 34 of the counterpart 28, whereby the cover element 2 can be moved along the second direction of movement 9 without the inhibiting element 27 coming into contact with the boundary 35 of the receiver region 34 of the counterpart 28 and thus blocking the movement along the second direction of movement 9 of the cover element.

[0205] By retracting the locking element 27 against the pre-tensioned spring force of the spring device 36 by actuating the actuator 37, specifically indirectly via the pull of the action mediator 38, the locking element 27 of the locking device 10 can move from a locking position 11 into a release position 12.

[0206] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system 1, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting device 10 has at least one inhibiting element 27 and at least one counterpart 28, wherein the at least one inhibiting element 27 is at least partially in contact with the at least one counterpart 28 in the at least one inhibiting position 11 and is arranged at a distance from the at least one counterpart 28 in the at least one release position 12.

[0207] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting element 27 is rotatably and / or displaceably mounted in a part, preferably a carriage 23, of the first or second guide device 6, 8 and the at least one counterpart 28 is mounted in a part of the first assembly 4 or in a part of the second assembly 5 or the at least one counterpart 28 is itself a part of the first assembly 4 or the second assembly 5.

[0208] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system 1, it can be provided that the at least one counterpart 28 has at least one receiver region 34, preferably with a substantially round and / or angular cross-section, with a boundary 35, preferably wherein the receiver region 34 is an imaginary volume of a recess in the at least one counterpart 28, wherein the at least one inhibiting element 27 contacts the boundary 35 at least in some areas in at least one inhibiting position 11.

[0209] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system 1, it can be provided that the at least one arresting device 10 has at least one spring device 36, preferably a spiral spring, wherein the at least one spring device 36 is connected to the at least one arresting element 27, preferably wherein the at least one arresting element 27 can be urged at least partially into a recess of the at least one counterpart 28 by a prestressed spring force of the at least one spring device 36 and / or the at least one arresting element 27 can be displaced at least partially out of a recess of the at least one counterpart 28 against a prestressed spring force of the at least one spring device 36, preferably by actuating an actuator 37.

[0210] With a guide system 1, a method can be realized, namely a method for covering and opening at least one opening 49 in a fixed structure 3 by means of at least one covering element 2, realized by the following method steps:

[0211] - the at least one cover element 2 is arranged between a

[0212] Closed position 50 in which the at least one

[0213] Cover element 2 which covers at least one opening 49 , and an open position 51 in which the cover element 2 is spaced substantially orthogonally from the at least one opening 49 , wherein the movement of the at least one cover element 2 takes place in a first direction of movement 7 ,

[0214] - the at least one cover element 2 is moved between the open position 51 and a displacement position 52, in which the at least one cover element 2 is arranged laterally offset with respect to the opening 49, wherein the movement of the at least one cover element 2 takes place in a second movement direction 9 transversely, in particular orthogonally, to the first movement direction 7, and

[0215] - at least one inhibiting device 10 is transferred from an inhibiting position 11, in which the at least one inhibiting device 10 brakes and / or blocks a movement of the at least one cover element 2 along the second direction of movement 9, into at least one release position 12, in which a movement of the at least one cover element 2 along the second direction of movement 9 is substantially unaffected by the at least one inhibiting device 10, and vice versa.

[0216] According to a preferred embodiment of the method, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting device 10 must be moved from the inhibiting position 11 into the at least one release position 12 before a movement of the at least one cover element 2 along the second direction of movement 9, starting from the open position 51 in the direction of the displacement position 52, is possible. Figs. 35 to 37 show perspective views of the inhibiting device 10 from Figs. 32 to 34, wherein the cover element 2 is hidden and the inhibiting device 10 is in a release position 12.

[0217] Fig. 35 shows the entire locking device 10, wherein the locking device 10 is in a release position 12 by actuating the actuator 37.

[0218] Fig. 36 shows a detailed view J of the inhibiting device 10 from Fig. 35.

[0219] Due to the hidden cover element 2, it can be seen in Fig. 36 how the active agent 38 is deflected via a part of the second assembly 5, which is connected to the cover element 2.

[0220] Fig. 37 shows a detailed view K of the inhibiting device 10 from Fig. 36.

[0221] In contrast to Figs. 32 to 34, which show the locking device 10 in a locking position 11, Figs. 35 to 37 show the locking device 10 in the release position 12.

[0222] As shown in Fig. 37, in the release position 12 the locking element 27 is not located within the receiver area 34 of the counterpart 28 but outside the receiver area 34. By actuating the actuator 37 and consequently by tightening the active agent 38, the locking element 27 can be moved against the prestressed spring force of the spring device 36 along the first direction of movement 7 in the direction of the cover element 2. By actuating the actuator 37 and thus moving the locking device 10 into the release position 12, the two assemblies 4, 5 can be moved relative to one another and / or the cover element 2 can be moved relative to the fixed structure along the second direction of movement 9.

[0223] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system 1, it can be provided that the at least one inhibiting device 10 has at least one actuator 37, wherein the at least one inhibiting device 10 can be brought into the at least one inhibiting position 11 and / or into the at least one release position 12 by means of the at least one actuator 37, preferably the at least one actuator 37 is connected to the at least one inhibiting element 27 and / or to the at least one counterpart 28 directly and / or indirectly via an active agent 38, by means of which tensile forces and / or compressive forces can be transmitted, particularly preferably wherein the active agent 38 is a cable.

[0224] According to a preferred embodiment of the guide system 1, it can be provided that the at least one actuator 37 has at least one lever arm, preferably a handle, for actuating the at least one inhibiting element 27, preferably wherein the guide system 1 has at least one cover element 2 and the at least one actuator 37 is arranged on the cover element 2 and / or is foldable, particularly preferably foldable out of the cover element 2 and / or foldable into the cover element 2, wherein the at least one first guide device 6 has at least one joint device 13 according to claim 2, wherein the at least one actuator 37 is at least partially concealed and / or inaccessible in the first joint end position 15 and at least partially visible and / or accessible in the second joint end position 14.According to a preferred embodiment of the method, it can be provided that at least one actuator 37 is provided, by means of which the at least one inhibiting device 10 is transferred from the inhibiting position 11 into the release position 12, wherein the at least one actuator 37 is arranged concealed in the closed position 50 and is released for actuation upon a movement of the at least one cover element 2 from the closed position 50 into the open position 51.

[0225] According to a preferred embodiment of the method, it can be provided that the method is carried out with the aid of at least one guidance system 1 according to the invention or in at least one arrangement according to the invention.

[0226] Fig. 38 to 54 show further schematic embodiments of inhibiting devices 10, wherein in each case only the at least one inhibiting element 27 and the at least one counterpart 28 are shown.

[0227] For all of the following figures, a restraining element 27 can be a braking piece 29 for braking a movement of an assembly 4, 5 along a direction of movement 7, 9 and / or a blocking piece 30 for blocking a movement of an assembly 4, 5 along a direction of movement 7, 9. The restraining element 27 can therefore fulfill either one of the two functions of braking and blocking or both functions together. Depending on the range of functions of the restraining element 27, a corresponding counterpart 28 is necessary, analogously a braking counterpart 31 and / or a blocking counterpart 32.

[0228] Blocking can be achieved as shown in Figs. 32 to 37.

[0229] Braking can be achieved, for example, by moving the inhibiting element 27 along one of the directions of movement 7, 9, but is impaired by a brake pad on one of the guide rails 22, which is in contact with the inhibiting element 27. In such an example, the brake pad represents the brake counterpart 31.

[0230] Furthermore, for all schematic exemplary embodiments of inhibiting devices 10 in Figs. 38 to 54, the inhibiting elements 27 can be moved from at least one inhibiting position 10 into at least one release position 12 or vice versa, preferably along the first direction of movement 7 starting from Figs. 32 to 37. In addition, it is also possible for the inhibiting element 27 to be moved from a specific inhibiting position 11 into another inhibiting position 11 or from a specific release position 12 into another release position 12. The possible movements of the inhibiting element 27 in Figs. 38 to 54 are represented by arrows.

[0231] The illustrated embodiments of inhibiting devices are not intended to be limiting. Combinations of the illustrated mechanisms or other inhibiting mechanisms are conceivable.

[0232] Fig. 38, 39 and 40 show an inhibiting element 27 in an inhibiting position

[0233] 11 in Fig. 40 , in which a blocking between the inhibiting element 27 and the counterpart 28 is realized, in a release position

[0234] 12 in Fig . 38 and in a position in between in Fig . 39 , which also corresponds to an inhibiting position 11 .

[0235] In the case of Figs. 38, 39 and 40, the inhibiting element 27 is only a blocking element 30.

[0236] Fig. 41, 42, 43 and 44 show a braking element 27 in a braking position 11, in which braking is realized by sliding contact between the braking element 27 and the counterpart 28, and the same braking element 27 in positions analogous to Fig. 38 to 40, in which blocking and releasing of the braking element 27 is realized.

[0237] In the case of Fig. 41, 42, 43 and 44, the inhibiting element 27 is simultaneously a braking element 29 and a blocking element 30.

[0238] Fig. 45 shows a schematic embodiment of an inhibiting element 27 which has a bevel 33.

[0239] Figs. 46 and 47 show a schematic embodiment of a locking element 27 and a counterpart 28, both of which have a bevel 33. The dashed positions illustrate how the locking element 27 passes over the counterpart 28.

[0240] The arresting element 27 can move towards the counterpart 28, as shown in Fig. 46. As soon as the arresting element 27 contacts the bevel 33 of the counterpart 28 with its own corresponding bevel 33, the current position is left as the arresting element 27 moves. This movement is continued by the bevels 33, as shown in Fig. 47, until the arresting element is in a release position 12, in which the counterpart 28 can be overrun by the arresting element 27.
