[0001] Closure arrangement and object

[0002] The invention relates to a closure arrangement for openings, in particular of furniture, shelves, bodies, containers, buildings, walls, cupboard furniture and the like, with at least one closure device, in particular blinds, roller shutters and the like, which is arranged in the region of at least one opening so as 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, bodies, containers, buildings, walls, cupboard furniture and windows with at least one closure arrangement.

[0003] Such closure arrangements have proven themselves for many years and are known in various designs.

[0004] For example, DE 102017000214 A1 discloses a locking arrangement for, in particular, a piece of cabinet furniture with a blind having slats, which is arranged in the region of an opening of a piece of cabinet furniture so as to be movable from a closed position into an open position and back, and has slats arranged parallel to one another which can be moved along lateral guides during their opening and closing movement, wherein the lateral guides of the slats are formed by respective guide slots which have a first, substantially rectilinear, vertical or horizontal guide track and a second guide track which is aligned substantially orthogonally to the first guide track, so that at least some of the slats of the blind can be transferred from a closed position into an open position located in the interior of the cabinet, in which position the slats are arranged one behind the other in a packing position arranged parallel to one another.Furthermore, a second vertical or horizontal guide track is provided parallel to the first vertical or horizontal guide track, wherein a respective guide body of a slat engages in the second guide track. The closure arrangement is further configured such that the first vertical or horizontal guide track transitions into a first, second guide track formed orthogonally thereto with a curved corner region (E), and the second, first vertically or horizontally oriented guide track transitions via an arcuate corner region (E1) into a second, second guide track oriented orthogonally to the second, first guide track.

[0005] The disadvantage of this locking arrangement is that it is very costly both in its manufacture and in its complex assembly.

[0006] Another disadvantage of this locking arrangement is that it can only be installed if costly and technically complex milling has been carried out in the side walls and / or in the top or bottom of cabinet furniture in particular.

[0007] Another disadvantage is that this locking arrangement takes up a lot of space or storage space in, for example, a cupboard, which is then no longer available to the user.

[0008] Another disadvantage is that this locking arrangement is mechanically very complex and must therefore be manufactured to very tight tolerances. It is also extremely maintenance-intensive, requires care and is prone to failure.

[0009] This is where the invention comes in, which has set itself the task of overcoming the disadvantages of the known prior art and of demonstrating a closure arrangement which can be produced economically and inexpensively, which can be used both horizontally and vertically, which can be used both for closing new openings, in particular in furniture, and for closing existing furniture by means of replacement assemblies, and which is designed in such a way that a possible change of the slats is possible without problems and at low cost.

[0010] This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.

[0011] It has surprisingly been found that a closure arrangement for openings, in particular of furniture, shelves, bodies, containers, buildings, walls, 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 region of at least one opening so as to be movable from a closed position (GP) to an open position (OP) and back, which is operatively connected to at least one guide device arranged at the opening, which has slat elements, wherein the slat elements have at least one first slat lever device with at least one guide element, wherein at least one connector lever device is provided, is characterized in that the at least one connector lever device rotatably connects at least two first slat lever devices,that at least one connector lever device is operatively connected to at least one first lamellar lever device via at least one elastic element, that in the closed position (GP) at least one first lamellar lever device is arranged so as to be positively guided via at least one guide element in a first guide device, that in the open position (OP) at least one first lamellar lever device is arranged so as to be positively guided via at least one first coupling device and at least one second coupling device in a second guide device, that at least one first lamellar lever device is arranged so as to be positively guided via at least one guide element in at least one second guide device, that in the open position (OP) at least one first lamellar lever device is arranged so as to be positively guided via at least one guide element in at least one third guide device. This now makes it possible,To provide locking assemblies that are economical and cost-effective to manufacture, suitable for both horizontal and vertical use, and that can be used to close openings in new furniture, for example, as well as to close existing openings in furniture through replacement installation. Another advantage of this locking assembly is that the installed slats can be easily replaced, cost-effectively, and according to the customer's design requirements. Another advantage of the locking assembly is that it was not only mechanically operated by hand, but can also be moved later by a motor, for example, electrically.

[0012] The closure arrangement is further designed such that the first lamellar lever device has at least a first guide element and a second guide element arranged at a distance therefrom. Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that at least the second guide element is arranged at a free end of the first lamellar lever device. Likewise advantageously, the closure arrangement is designed such that at least the second guide element of the first lamellar lever device has a different height and / or a different geometry than the first guide element of the first lamellar lever device. The closure arrangement thus has a first lamellar lever device that is cost-effective and economical to manufacture and is geometrically designed such that it ensures the unrestricted functionality of the closure arrangement in the closed position (GP) during the movement process and in the open position (OP) at all times.

[0013] Furthermore, the closure assembly is designed such that the first lamella lever device has at least one first receiving element and a second receiving element. As a result, the first lamella lever device can be operatively connected to each other and to further lamella lever devices via at least one connector lever device.

[0014] The closure arrangement is further configured such that the lamella lever device has at least one third receiving element. Advantageously, the at least one third receiving element is configured such that it can be brought into operative connection with at least one elastic element. Furthermore, the lamella lever device is configured such that at least one first, free end of the at least one elastic element can be arranged on the at least one third receiving element of the first lamella lever device.

[0015] Furthermore, the closure assembly is designed such that the first lamella lever device has at least one locking element. The at least one locking element of the first lamella lever device is designed such that lamella elements can be fixed to it in such a way that the closure assembly can be used without problems and that these lamella elements can be replaced with other lamella elements.

[0016] The locking assembly is further configured such that the first connector lever device has at least one first pin element.

[0017] Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that the first connector lever device has at least one first receiving element.

[0018] The closure assembly is further configured such that the first connector lever device has at least one second receiving element. Advantageously, the closure assembly can be adapted to a wide variety of geometries in terms of the length and width of the openings to be closed via the first connector lever device, and can be manufactured economically and cost-effectively.

[0019] Advantageously, the locking arrangement is designed such that the at least one first pin element of the first connector lever device is arranged movably, in particular rotatably, with at least one first receiving element of the first lamellar lever device. Furthermore, the locking arrangement is designed such that the at least one first receiving element of the first connector lever device is arranged movably, in particular rotatably, with at least one second receiving element of the first lamellar lever device.

[0020] Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that at least one first receiving element of the first connector lever device is arranged with at least one second receiving element of the first lamellar lever device in a movable, in particular rotatable, manner via at least one connecting element.

[0021] The closure arrangement can be optimally designed geometrically in its functionality, in particular also depending on the length and / or width of the slat elements, by combining the first slatted lever device with the first connector lever device.

[0022] The closure arrangement is also advantageously designed such that the first lamella lever device is operatively connected to the first connector lever device via at least one elastic element.

[0023] Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that at least a first, free end of the at least one elastic element is arranged on at least one third receiving element of the first slatted lever device. The closure arrangement has the advantage that at least a second, free end of the at least one elastic element is arranged on at least one second receiving element of the first connector lever device.

[0024] In this advantageous embodiment, the closure arrangement can be moved simply and easily and without great effort when used as intended, particularly when moving from a closed position (GP) to an open position (OP) and back.

[0025] Furthermore, the closure arrangement has the advantage that at least one lamella element has at least one lamella carrier device at each of its two free ends.

[0026] Furthermore, it is advantageous in the closure arrangement that at least one lamella element is arranged in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting manner on at least one lamella lever device.

[0027] It is also advantageous in the closure arrangement that the at least one lamella element is arranged in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting and / or material-fitting manner via at least one lamella carrier device on at least one lamella lever device.

[0028] A further advantage of the locking arrangement is that the at least one slat element is operatively connected to at least one locking element of the first slat lever device via at least one clamping element and at least one locking element of the at least one slat support device. This makes it possible to provide locking arrangements that can be easily, economically, and cost-effectively adapted to all geometries, designs, and the like, for example, of furniture.

[0029] A further advantage of the closure arrangement is that the slat element arranged at the first, free end of the closure device is arranged on at least one second slat lever device.

[0030] Another advantage of the closure arrangement is that the second lamella lever device is arranged in a positively guided manner via a second connector lever device and via a first coupling device in the second guide device.

[0031] Further advantageously, the closure assembly is designed such that the at least one second louvre lever device is arranged movably, in particular rotatably, via at least one second connector lever device and via a second coupling device with at least one first louvre lever device. This makes it easy for the closure assembly to arrange the louvre element arranged at the first, free end of the closure device parallel and flush, for example, with a top panel and / or a side panel, in particular of a piece of furniture.

[0032] The closure arrangement further has the advantage that the second guide device has at least one first guide track, at least one second guide track and at least one third guide track.

[0033] Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that the at least one second guide device has at least one receiving element. This makes it possible with the closure arrangement for the slat elements of the closure device arranged on the slatted lever devices to not only be easily movable in the guide devices, but also to move uniformly with a constant distance from one another when moving from the closed position (GP) to the open position (UP) and back. Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that the first coupling device is arranged via at least one receiving element so that it can be moved, in particular rotated, with the receiving element of the second guide device. This likewise leads to a uniform movement of the closure arrangement that requires little effort.

[0034] Furthermore, the closure arrangement is designed such that the first coupling device is operatively connected to the receiving element via at least one receiving element in a movable, in particular rotatable, manner, with the second guide device.

[0035] This also results in a smooth movement of the locking assembly without much effort.

[0036] Furthermore, the closure assembly is designed such that the first coupling device is movably, in particular rotatably, connected to the receiving element via at least one receiving element, and is operatively connected to the second guide device via at least one connecting element. This also results in a smooth movement of the closure assembly without requiring great effort.

[0037] A further advantage of the closure arrangement is that the at least one first guide device is operatively connected to at least one second guide device.

[0038] Furthermore, the closure assembly is advantageously designed such that the at least one first guide device is operatively connected to the at least one second guide device via at least one third guide device. Thus, closure assemblies are available that can be manufactured economically and cost-effectively for all opening geometries, in which, particularly in the open position (OP), the externally visible lamella elements of the closure assembly are arranged equidistant from one another and parallel.

[0039] The invention further relates to an object having at least one opening, in particular furniture, shelves, bodies, containers, buildings, walls, cupboard furniture and windows having at least one closure arrangement according to the preceding embodiments.

[0040] Alternatively, it is possible for the closure assembly to be manufactured using a generative manufacturing process, for example, a 3D printing process. Machine-readable, three-dimensional models are advantageously usable for manufacturing the closure assembly. The invention also encompasses a method for generating a machine-readable, three-dimensional model for use in a manufacturing process for a closure assembly. In particular, the method also includes inputting data representing a closure assembly into a data processing machine and using this data to represent a closure assembly as a three-dimensional model, wherein the three-dimensional model is suitable for use in manufacturing a closure assembly.The closure assembly can be manufactured in whole or in part using a line-by-line or layer-by-layer manufacturing process. A 3D dataset can be used to great advantage during construction or production. The method also encompasses a technique in which the input data from one or more 3D scanners, which operate either contact-based or non-contact-based, with the latter delivering energy to a closure assembly and receiving the reflected energy, is used to generate a virtual three-dimensional model of a closure assembly using computer-aided design software.The manufacturing process can comprise a generative powder bed process, in particular selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective heat sintering (SHS), selective electron beam melting (EBM / electron beam additive manufacturing - EBAM), or binder jetting of powder material.
