Description

piping insert

The invention relates to a piping insert with piping and piping flag.

Awnings offer good sun protection as long as the sun is relatively high in the sky. In the evening or morning hours, however, the low sun can typically shine under the awning, causing glare. Furthermore, an awning offers sun protection, especially when used on camping vehicles, but only inadequate protection from prying eyes. Installing conventional sun sails and/or curtains on an awning is often complex.

When camping, conventional awnings are mainly attached to the door side of caravans and mobile homes or are fixed to house walls, especially on terraces and balconies. They offer reliable protection from the sun and the weather because they are robust, stable and easy to set up. Awnings require a one-time, more complex installation, but then provide reliable protection from sunlight and rain.

Most awnings are designed almost parallel to the ground, meaning they only offer protection from sunlight when the sun is high. When the sun is low in the evening or morning, the sun's rays also hit the area between the awning and the ground, blinding people underneath.

Conventional awnings also do not offer any privacy.

There are awnings that have an integrated curtain that can be extended when needed to provide protection from glare and visibility. These awnings with an integrated curtain are only suitable for use on house walls due to their higher weight.

When camping, so-called sunblockers are used to protect against the low sun. Such a sunblocker is a type of sun sail that is held by a collapsible frame so that it runs approximately vertically. In addition, there are sunblockers or sun sails that can be pulled into the front of the piping strip using a long piping flag. Such sun sails consist of a screen of a predetermined size, which can only be attached to the awning with these dimensions. They are neither adjustable in size nor in height. Such sunblockers are also used as mobile privacy screens. However, setting up and dismantling the sunblockers is complex, which is why the privacy and sun protection cannot be flexibly adjusted individually.

A piping rail is usually attached to the front edge of an awning so that it can be secured when necessary so that it cannot be attacked by the wind. Guy ropes, which are closed off with a piping on at least one side, can be inserted into the piping rail. Sunblockers can also be inserted into the piping rail, as well as hooks for hanging up clothes, towels or the like.

It is common practice to use cloths and/or towels as privacy and/or sun protection on campsites. Attaching these cloths and replacing them is usually done very provisionally using clothespins, hooks inserted into the piping rail or similar. Due to their inadequate weather resistance, the cloths have to be replaced frequently and therefore do not offer a permanent solution.

From the document DE 39 25 035 A1, a welt bar is known that consists of two sections that can be clipped into one another, in order to clamp a covering film between the two sections and to anchor it in a retaining channel or welt rail. The retaining channel can be bent elastically and thus allows a relatively thick welt bar to be pressed in.

A piping rail, which is provided on a conventional awning or on a camping vehicle, is usually rigid, so that elastic bending or pressing in of a piping is not possible or is only possible with the use of special tools. The piping is usually inserted lengthwise on such a piping rail.

The present invention is based on the object of providing a piping insert for a piping rail, which can be used mobile and can also be installed for short-term use without great effort.

Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of providing a piping insert for a piping rail, which has a low weight and a small transport volume.

One or more objects are solved by the subject matter of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the respective subclaims.

A piping insert according to the invention according to a first aspect of the invention comprises a piping and a piping flag for insertion into a predetermined piping rail, which defines an approximately cylindrical cavity which has a slot-like opening extending in the longitudinal direction L with a slot width. The piping has a piping length and a piping width. The piping insert is formed in two parts with a first part and a second part. The first part and the second part each comprise a piping section and a piping flag section. The piping section of the first part has a first width and the piping section of the second part has a second width, the first width and the second width each being smaller than the slot width.

The first width and the second width can be a maximum of 65%, 60%, 55% and 50% of the piping width, respectively.

The first part of the piping insert and the second part of the piping insert are therefore narrower than the assembled piping insert. To pull hooks, sunblockers, roller blinds or awnings into a piping rail, the end flaps or end supports of the piping rail often have to be dismantled. This is often time-consuming because the piping rails are often installed in inadequate positions. Due to the two-part design, each part is wide enough that the piping section can be inserted into a piping groove at any point and can be brought together within the piping groove to form the piping insert.

The piping insert can be made of metal or plastic.

The piping is expediently cylindrical. The piping section of the first part and the second part is preferably designed as a cylinder segment along or parallel to the cylinder axis. If the cylinder segment is designed along the cylinder axis, both piping sections are essentially the same.

In one embodiment of the invention, the piping flag protrudes straight from the piping. Alternatively, the piping flag extends in a bent manner, i.e. the piping flag extends straight in an area close to the piping and then bends in a second direction of extension, so that a bend is formed, wherein the bend expediently has an angular axis parallel to a piping longitudinal axis or cylinder axis. In particular, a contact surface of the piping flag sections of the first and second part extends straight or bent. This means that the direction(s) of extension of the piping flag lie in both contact surfaces. The contact surface of the first part of the piping insert lies on the contact surface of the second part of the piping insert when the piping insert is assembled.

In one embodiment, each piping flag section has an eyelet and/or one or more hooks, which are congruent, in particular when the first and second parts overlap.

The hooks or eyelets can be used, for example, to hook guy ropes or to attach clamps to the piping rail. The clamps can be used, for example, to Hanging towels, insect screens or even cookware and lamps.

In a further embodiment, the first part and/or the second part have a locking device for locking the other part, in particular in the form of a hole, in particular a blind hole, in the first part and a pin in the second part. The blind hole and pin are provided in particular in the contact surfaces of the piping flag sections. The locking device prevents the assembled (i.e. aligned) parts of the piping insert from being inadvertently displaced against each other in the piping groove and possibly falling out of the piping groove in this state.

Furthermore, the piping section and the piping flag section of each part can be formed in one piece.

Both parts of the piping insert are preferably provided with a positive coupling means or a magnetic coupling so that the two parts are connected to one another after they have been brought together. The positive coupling means are designed using a pin and a bushing or other complementary shapes. The positive coupling means or the magnetic coupling are preferably attached to the piping flags of the two parts so that the two parts are connected to one another at the piping flags. The two parts of the piping can also be connected to one another by means of latches, Velcro connectors, coupling hooks and/or coupling eyes.

According to a further aspect of the invention, a piping system comprises a piping rail, in particular on a front edge of an awning, which is formed from an approximately cylindrical cavity which has a slot-like opening with a slot width running in the longitudinal direction, and at least one piping insert according to a first aspect of the invention, wherein the first width and the second width are each smaller than the slot width.

The piping insert is designed to be inserted into a piping rail that is provided, for example, on the outer edge of an awning or on the wall of a caravan or mobile home. Such a piping rail typically has a piping groove with one or two open head ends that are provided for inserting a piping, as well as a slot opening that extends along the piping groove, which has a slot width that is smaller than the width of the piping groove and through which the piping flag extends when the piping is inserted. With the piping insert according to the invention, each of the piping sections can be inserted into the piping groove through the slot opening at any point (i.e. not at the or each open head end) and without tools. After the piping sections have been assembled in the piping groove, the piping insert is then held in the piping groove in a form-fitting manner. This piping system can be provided with a piping insert according to the different designs explained above.

According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a roller blind system with one or more connectors for connecting the roller blind housing to a front edge of an awning, in particular to a piping rail, wherein the roller blind housing comprises an extendable roller blind.

The one or more connectors can be designed as a piping system.

The invention uses a roller blind system for hanging a roller blind on a front edge of an awning, wherein the roller blind has a roller blind housing in which an extendable shading device is at least partially accommodated.

The roller blind system has one or more connectors for connecting the roller blind housing to a front edge of an awning, the connectors comprising one or more of the following group of connectors:

- an elongated connector band, which has a piping, a magnetic coupling, coupling hooks, coupling eyes, a locking device, a zipper and/or one or more Velcro connectors as a connecting element on a longitudinal edge for connecting to the awning and/or the roller blind housing,

- several connectors, each of which has a magnetic coupling, a coupling hook, a coupling eyelet, a locking device, a Velcro connector and/or at least one piping as a connecting element.

The piping can be a one-piece piping or a two-piece piping, which consists of two piping parts that can be coupled, for example, by means of a magnetic element or a pin-socket coupling.

The locking device can be any locking device for locking the roller blind housing to the front edge of the awning. For this purpose, the roller blind housing can be designed with a rail that has several locking means in order to interact with corresponding counter-locking means on the front edge of the awning.

Because awnings usually have a fastening device for guy ropes, sun blockers, sun sails, front walls on their front edge, which can also be designed as a piping rail, the front edge of an awning is suitable for hanging a roller blind system.

With such a piping rail or other fastening device, a roller blind system according to the invention can be attached quickly, easily, quickly and without effort if the roller blind system has or can be provided with a connecting element which is designed to correspond to the fastening device of the awning. A roller blind that hangs vertically down the front edge of the awning offers the advantage of being flexible and can be adjusted to the desired sun protection and/or privacy. An extendable shading device in the form of a roller blind also offers the advantage of being small in transport volume. Especially when camping with a caravan or motorhome, it is important that the roller blind system is easy to store and transport, i.e. it takes up little storage space and is lightweight. In addition, a roller blind system for an awning is a seasonal item that should take up as little storage space as possible outside of the season.

A connector tape offers the advantage of connecting the edge of the awning to the roller blind housing without gaps and without opaqueness. This means that no sunlight can penetrate into the gap between the edge of the awning and the roller blind housing and continuous shading is achieved.

Since in most cases a piping rail is present, the inventors have found that it is advantageous to use this piping rail for the roller blind suspension.

The piping is preferably cylindrical in shape and has a protruding piping tab. A piping section is inserted into the piping rail along or parallel to the cylinder axis so that the piping tab protrudes through the slot-like opening in the piping rail.

A piping flag can be fitted with or designed to have devices for magnetic coupling, coupling hooks, coupling eyes and/or Velcro connectors to connect the piping to the roller blind housing. The roller blind housing can have magnets for magnetic coupling, coupling hooks, coupling eyes, locking devices, a zipper and/or Velcro connectors, which form connecting counterparts to the connecting devices of the piping flag. These types of connection are largely self-explanatory and can be installed quickly and easily even by people who have no manual experience.

Another advantage of attaching it to the piping rail is that the roller blind can be moved along the length of the awning if it only covers part of the width of the awning. This allows the roller blind to be adjusted quickly, flexibly and as needed.

Different connectors can also be used for the connection between the awning edge and the roller blind housing. These connectors can be designed so that at least one part is designed as a piping. The other part can have a connecting element for a magnetic coupling, a coupling hook, a coupling eyelet, a Velcro connector and/or a second piping.

In order to avoid removal of the end caps, guy ropes, hooks or other objects attached to the piping rail, the piping can be designed in two parts so that the piping consists of two parts with a semicircular cross-section that can be placed next to one another so that together they form a complete piping. The two parts of the piping are inserted separately into the piping rail, where they are then pushed over one another and connected to one another at the piping flags. The two parts of the piping can be connected to one another using magnetic coupling, locking, Velcro connectors, coupling hooks, pin-socket coupling and/or coupling eyes.

Preferably, the connector band or at least one of the connectors is integrally connected to the roller blind housing. The integral connection makes it easy to connect to the edge of an awning. In addition, no additional parts need to be carried to connect the roller blind housing to the awning. This makes setting up the roller blind system quick and easy. Another advantage is that if no additional parts are required for the roller blind housing, these parts cannot be forgotten or lost. It is particularly advantageous when camping if you do not have to take an additional container for a connector band or several connectors.

In embodiments, the connectors can have two connecting elements, one of the connecting elements being designed to connect to the roller blind housing and the other of the two connecting elements being designed to connect to the awning. This design has the advantage that the connecting means are first attached separately to the awning and roller blind housing before the roller blind is hung on the awning. A key advantage of this is that the roller blind can be hung up and taken down quickly and easily without having to remove the connecting elements from the awning or roller blind housing, which is particularly helpful if the roller blind is removed in the evening and needs to be hung up again the next day.

Preferably, the connector(s) are designed to be flexible. This means that they can be easily transported. For example, the connector tape can be rolled up. Another advantage of flexible connectors is that the inclination of the roller blind can be adjusted. This means that the connector(s) can also be attached to piping rails or fastening devices that can be arranged in different positions on the awning. This offers the advantage that the roller blind system is compatible with different awning models from different manufacturers. Since the structure of the awnings is not standardized, the piping rails are often arranged differently by the individual awning manufacturers.

In embodiments, the connector band can consist of at least two parts. The connector band can be divided in the longitudinal direction and/or in the transverse direction.

Preferably, the connector band is assembled from at least two parts by means of a magnetic coupling, a locking device, a pressure and/or Velcro fastener. A two-part connector tape offers the advantage that it can first be attached to the respective fastening system on the edge of the awning and on the roller blind housing. It can then be joined together using simple coupling methods. This has the advantage that only a short effort is required to hang the roller blind, instead of a laborious threading process while having to hold the roller blind up.

In embodiments, the connector parts can be connected by means of a positive plug connection, which in particular has a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism prevents the plug connection from being accidentally released, which offers additional safety, especially in the event of wind.

Preferably, the piping can be designed as a metal plate with screws screwed in. This makes the piping easy to manufacture and can be individually adapted to the existing piping rail.

The roller blind is preferably made of a weather-resistant material, such as impregnated nylon, Teflon-coated polyacrylic, olefin, material mixtures of polyester, polyethylene and/or polypropylene. Such a material is characterized by being water-, dirt-, mold-, oil-repellent and/or UV-resistant. The roller blind can therefore remain attached to the awning outdoors even in changeable weather. It can therefore also be used as protection against slanting rain.

In some versions, the roller blind is designed to be infinitely extendable and lockable. This offers the advantage of being able to adjust the roller blind to the current position of the sun to avoid glare. The infinitely adjustable locking mechanism also allows for customized privacy protection. This enables the lower edge of the extended roller blind to be positioned precisely, for example to cover only a certain area when you have a beautiful view of the surroundings.

The roller blind system is preferably made of lightweight materials, such as plastic or aluminum, which means it can also be attached to very weak awning edges. A low weight also ensures that the roller blind system can be easily and conveniently installed by anyone, including people with little physical strength. Another advantage of the roller blind system's low weight is that it does not significantly increase the total vehicle weight, since the maximum load is sometimes limited.

A roller blind system can be designed in such a way that at least two roller blinds and their roller blind housings are connected to one another by means of magnetic coupling, snap fasteners, locking devices and/or Velcro fasteners. Using these connecting means, the individual roller blinds can be joined together without gaps, so that a larger area is protected from the sun and prying eyes than with just one roller blind. This offers The advantage is that instead of one wide and heavy roller blind, at least two smaller and lighter roller blinds can be used. Cleverly joining the individual roller blinds with the awning and with each other can make assembly and dismantling easier.

The roller blind system comprises a roller blind, or hereinafter referred to as a mobile roller blind, for hanging, in particular for a camping vehicle, in particular on a front edge of an awning. The mobile roller blind comprises a housing with a first hanging device on a first side of the housing and with a shading device that is at least partially accommodated in the housing and can be pulled out. The first hanging device is designed for detachable connection to a second hanging device.

In one embodiment, the first suspension device comprises one or more hooks or one or more eyelets, or one or more snap-in connectors.

The mobile roller blind expediently comprises two first suspension devices spaced apart from one another, which are expediently arranged at an equal distance from the center along a longitudinal direction L of the first side of the housing on the housing wall. The mobile roller blind can also have three or more first suspension devices, in particular if the mobile roller blind has a large extension length in the longitudinal direction L, e.g. more than 1 or 2 m.

Preferably, the first suspension device is pivotally connected to the housing by means of a hinge. In this embodiment, the first suspension device can be laid flat on the housing in a first state (stowed state). The roller blind can be transported or stowed in a space-saving manner in this stowed state. In a further state (assembled state), the first suspension device can be pivoted open so that the first suspension device is suitable for connection to the second suspension device.

Preferably, the shading device is infinitely extendable and lockable. Optionally, the shading device is provided with a closing rod. The shading device expediently comprises a fabric that is stored in the housing on a roll. The fabric can be translucent or opaque, i.e. not transparent.

The second suspension device is expediently designed as a piping insert. The second suspension device, in particular the piping insert, optionally comprises an eyelet, a hook or a locking connector. The first and second suspension devices are expediently coordinated with one another. If the first suspension device comprises a hook, the second suspension device comprises a hook or an eyelet into which the hook of the first suspension device can be hooked. If the first suspension device comprises a locking connector, the second suspension device comprises a matching counterpart to the locking connector of the first suspension device, so that the first and second suspension devices can be locked together. In principle, however, other hooks or eyelets, for example those arranged on a balcony roof, can also be used as a second hanging device.

In particular for use with the mobile roller blind according to the invention, the piping insert can comprise a piping and a piping flag, the piping having a piping length KL and a piping width KB. The piping insert is formed in two parts with a first part and a second part. The first part and the second part each comprise a piping section and a piping flag section. The piping section of the first part has a width B1 and the piping section of the second part has a width B2, the width B1 and the width B2 being each smaller than the piping width KB, the piping section and the piping flag section of each part being formed in one piece. The first part of the piping insert and the second part of the piping insert are thus formed narrower than the piping insert. In particular, each part has a width such that the piping section can be inserted into a piping groove at any point. The piping insert is formed in particular from metal or plastic.

The piping insert is designed to be inserted into a piping rail that is provided, for example, on the outer edge of an awning or on the wall of a caravan or mobile home. Such a piping rail typically has a piping groove with one or two open head ends that are provided for inserting a piping, as well as a slot opening that extends along the piping groove, which has a slot width that is smaller than the width of the piping groove and through which the piping flag extends when the piping is inserted. With the piping insert according to the invention, each of the piping sections can be inserted into the piping groove through the slot opening at any point (i.e. not at the or each open head end) and without tools. After the piping sections have been assembled in the piping groove, the piping insert is then held in the piping groove in a form-fitting manner.

The piping is expediently cylindrical. The piping section of the first part and the second part is designed as a cylindrical cut along or parallel to the cylinder axis. If the cylindrical cut is designed along the cylinder axis, both piping sections are essentially the same.

In one embodiment of the invention, the piping flag extends straight from the piping. Alternatively, the piping flag extends in a bent manner, ie the piping flag extends straight in an area close to the piping and then bends in a second direction of extension, so that a bend is formed, wherein the bend expediently has an angular axis parallel to a piping longitudinal axis or cylinder axis. In particular, a contact surface of the piping flag sections of the first and second part extends straight or bent. This means that the direction(s) of extension of the piping flag lie in both contact surfaces. The contact surface of the first part of the piping insert lies on the contact surface of the second part of the piping insert in the assembled state of the piping insert.

In one embodiment of the invention, the mobile roller blind described above and one or more piping inserts form a set, so that the roller blind with the piping inserts can be assembled and disassembled easily and quickly and without tools.

The assembly and disassembly can be carried out on different awnings, on open and closed awnings. The set can also contain additional inserts or adapters.

The invention is explained in more detail below using examples shown in the drawings.

According to the invention, a piping insert 30 has a piping 38 and a piping flag 40. The piping insert 30 is formed in two parts with a first part 42 and a second part 44. The first part 42 and the second part 44 each comprise a piping section 46, 48 and a piping flag section 50, 52. The piping section 46 of the first part 42 has a first width B1 and the piping section 48 of the second part 44 has a second width B2, wherein the first width B1 and the second width B2 preferably amount to at most 65% of the piping width KB.

Figures 1 and 2 show a camping vehicle 70 with an extended awning 72, which has a front edge 74 on an area facing away from the vehicle, which is provided with a piping rail 76. The awning stands on two awning support feet 78 and is tensioned. In the illustration shown, two mobile roller blinds 2 according to the invention are suspended from the piping rail 76 of the awning 72, namely a first mobile roller blind 2', which is tensioned on ground nails, and a second mobile roller blind 2", which hangs vertically downwards. The mobile roller blinds 2 protect a person sitting under the awning against sunlight and glare.

Each of the two mobile roller blinds 2 comprises a housing 4. A first suspension device 6 is arranged and fastened on a first side 8 of this housing 4 - namely on the upper side in the assembled state - which can be seen in the following figures, in particular Fig. 3 and Fig. 6. Furthermore, each of the two mobile roller blinds 2 comprises a shading device 12. The shading device 12 is a fabric that can be wound up on a roll, the free end of which is provided with a closing rod 24. The closing rod 24 comprises in particular a strut 26 with a number of guy eyes 28 formed or fastened thereto. The strut 26 is designed, for example, as a piping rail in which the fabric of the shading device 24 is clamped by means of a piping. Alternatively, the fabric of the shading device 24 is, for example, clamped in the closing rod 24 or laid around the closing rod.

Each of the two mobile roller blinds 2 is suspended from the piping rail 76 with two first suspension devices 6 and with associated second suspension devices 14. For this purpose, as shown in Fig. 3, a piping insert 30 is inserted into the piping rail 76 as a second suspension device 14. Suspension devices. The piping insert 30 has a piping 38 and a piping flag 40. Furthermore, the piping flag 40 is provided with a through hole as an eyelet 32. A hook 16 is hooked into the eyelet 32 as the first suspension device 6. The hook 16 protrudes from the upper first side 8 of the housing 4.

The piping insert 30 is made in two parts, as shown in Fig. 4 and 5. The piping insert 30 has a piping 38 and a piping flag 40. The piping insert also has a first part 42 and a second part 44. Both the first part 42 and the second part 44 have a piping section 46, 48 and a piping flag section 50, 52. On the side facing each other, the first part 42 and the second part 44 each have a contact surface 54, 56, which lie against each other when the piping insert 30 is assembled. The first part 42 is provided with a hole 62 as a locking device 60 and the second part 44 is provided with a pin 64 as a locking device 60 in order to prevent the two parts from accidentally moving against each other when assembled.

The assembly of the mobile roller blind 2 is shown in Figs. 6 to 8. The first part 42 and the second part 44 of the piping insert 30 are initially separate from one another. In the present case, the first part 42 and the second part 44 are designed symmetrically to one another, apart from the locking device. The first part 42 comprises a piping section 46, which is formed by a half cylinder, and a piping flag section 50, in which a hole is formed as an eyelet 32. The piping flag section 50 also comprises a pin 64, which is arranged on a contact surface 54, for locking the second part 44. The piping section 46 has a width B1 (Fig. 8), which is half the piping width KB of the piping 38 of the piping insert 30. The width B1 and the width B2 can also be a maximum of 65%, 60% and 50% of the piping width KB.

The width B1 is smaller than the slot width SB of the piping rail 76. This allows the piping section 46 to be inserted into the slot opening of the piping rail 76. In the inserted state, the cylinder axis and an extension direction of the slot, the longitudinal direction L of the piping rail 76, are parallel.

The second part 44 comprises a piping section 48, which is formed by a half cylinder, and a piping flag section 52, in which a hole is formed as an eyelet 32. The piping flag section 52 also comprises a hole 62, which is arranged on a contact surface 56, for locking the first part 42. The piping section 48 has a width B2, which is half the piping width KB of the piping 38 of the piping insert 30. The width B2 is smaller than the slot width SB of the piping rail 76 and thus the piping section 48 can be inserted into the slot.

The inserted first part 42 and the inserted second part 44 can be moved against each other in the piping rail 76 so that the contact surface 54 of the first part overlaps the contact surface 56 of the second part. The first part 42 and the second part 44 can then be locked together. Within the piping rail 76, both parts 42 and 44 are joined together by means of a pin-beech coupling 19 or magnetic coupling by means of magnetic elements 18 and thus form a whole piping 38. The hook 16 of the mobile roller blind 2 can now be hooked into the piping insert 30, which is now formed from the first part 42 and the second part 44.

To dismantle the piping insert 30, the locking of the first part 42 and the second part 44 can first be released from each other and then the parts can be moved against each other along the piping rail 76. As soon as the first part 42 and the second part 44 no longer overlap perpendicular to the direction of extension of the piping rail 76, both parts 42, 44 can be removed or fall out.

In order to hang up the mobile roller blind 2, two beading inserts 30 are required, in particular as shown. When the mobile roller blind 2 is not mounted, the shading device 12 is expediently completely accommodated in the housing, or only the strut 26 protrudes from the housing 4. Alternatively, the strut 26 is also completely accommodated in the housing when the roller blind 2 is retracted. The strut 26 is optionally designed in such a way that it completes the housing 4 when the roller blind 2 is retracted and thus closes it.

On the upper, first side 8 of the housing 4, two first suspension devices 6 are arranged on the housing wall. In the case shown, each of the suspension devices 6 is formed by a hook 16, in particular a hook made of a bent wire, and a sheet metal blank 20. The sheet metal blank 20 is attached to the housing, for example, by screwing or riveting or welding. The wire forming the hook is guided on one side through a pocket in the sheet metal blank, which forms a hinge 22 with the wire, so that the free end of the hook can optionally rest on the first side of the housing, see in particular Fig. 9, and can be brought into a position perpendicular to it and fixed, see Fig. 6.

Fig. 10 shows a sheet metal tab 18 cut out of the sheet metal blank 20 and bent up, under which the hook 16 is clamped in the folded-in state. The sheet metal tab 18 can also be seen in Fig. 9.

Figures 11 to 14 show various designs of two-part piping inserts 30. View a shows a first part 42 of the piping insert 30 with a view of the contact surface and view b shows a second part 44 of the piping insert 30 with a view away from the contact surface. View c shows a cross section through the piping insert 30 composed of the first part 42 and the second part 44. The piping inserts 30 are each provided with a locking device 60.

In Fig. 11, views of a piping insert 30 can be seen which is provided with an eyelet 32 in the piping flag 40. The two parts 42, 44 of the piping insert 30 are preferably each formed in one piece from plastic or metal. The piping flag sections extend from the respective piping section in one direction. Fig. 12 shows a second embodiment of a piping insert 30. In this embodiment, the piping insert 30 has a crank 58, as can be seen in Fig. 12c, in deviation from the embodiment in Fig. 11.

Fig. 13 shows a third embodiment of a piping insert 30. In contrast to the embodiment in Fig. 11, the piping flag sections 50, 52 do not have an eyelet. Instead, each piping flag section 50, 52 has two hooks 34, which lie in the contact surface planes 54, 56 and are arranged on the opposite sides of the piping flag sections 50, 52 in the direction of the cylinder axis of the piping sections.

Fig. 14 shows a fourth embodiment of a piping insert 30. In contrast to the piping insert 30 shown in Fig. 13, the hook shape is different. Furthermore, this piping insert also has a bend as in Fig. 12.

The present invention relates to a roller blind system 79 which is designed such that it can be attached to the front edge 74 of an awning 72. The roller blind system 79 has a mobile roller blind 2, hereinafter also referred to as roller blind 2, and a roller blind housing 4 which can be connected to the front edge 74 by means of one or more connectors 14. (Figure 1, 2, 19)

In addition to a shading device 12, or hereinafter also referred to as shading device 12, the roller blind 2 has further elements which support the extension and retraction of the roller blind, e.g. a spring mechanism, guide cables and/or pull handles. The roller blind 2 can be accommodated almost completely in the roller blind housing 4, only elements to facilitate the extension of the roller blind can protrude when retracted. (Figure 1, 2, 19)

A shading device 12 is made of flat elements which directly block the light, such as a fabric panel, slats or the like. A transparent or translucent shading device 12 can serve as a visual screen, an impermeable or opaque shading device 12 as a sun protection. (Figure 1, 2, 19)

The roller blind housing 4 has a device for receiving a roller blind 2, which can be extended on one side of the roller blind housing 4 and on the opposite side has a connecting device for one or more connectors 14. (Figure 15)

The second suspension device 14 can also be designed as a connector 14, as a connector between the front edge 74 and the roller blind housing 5. The connectors 14 are relatively small surface elements compared to the roller blind housing 4 and the front edge 74, which have connecting elements 81 on at least one side, which are designed to connect to the roller blind housing 4 and/or the front edge 74 of the awning 72. There are connectors 14 which are designed such that the roller blind housing 4 can be attached to the front edge 74 of the awning 72 with several connectors 14. Connectors 14 can also be designed such that they can be accommodated in the roller blind housing 4 or in the front edge 74 and do not protrude from it. (Figure 18 af)

Furthermore, a connector 14 can also extend along the front edge 2 of the awning 72. In the following, such an elongated connector 14 is referred to as a connector band 80. The continuous connector band 80 has the advantage over several small connectors 14 that it also completely closes off the intermediate area between the awning 72 and the roller blind housing 4 and thus provides seamless sun and privacy protection. (Figure 17g-k)

Connecting elements 81 (Figure 15b) are arranged both on the connectors 14 (Figure 18 a-f) and on the connector band 80 (Figure 17g-k). The connecting elements 81 comprise at least one connection form which can be coupled or connected to a corresponding counterpart. These connecting elements 81 are designed to form a stable, secure and detachable connection with the roller blind housing 4, the front edge 74 and/or with one another.

In one embodiment, the front edge 74 of an awning 72 runs horizontally along a longitudinal direction L or longitudinal axis L parallel to the ground. The roller blind housing 4 is mounted approximately parallel to the front edge 74 of the awning 72. A vertical axis V is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L in a plane E. The plane E is defined along the front edge 2 of the awning 72 in the horizontal direction and along an extended roller blind 4 in an approximately vertical direction. The roller housing 4 as well as the roller blind 2 hang approximately vertically from the front edge 74. (Figure 15)

The connectors 14 or the connector band 80 are arranged along the longitudinal direction L or longitudinal axis L between the front edge 74 and the roller blind housing 4. The connecting elements 81 are formed on the connectors 14 or on the connector band 80 at least on one side which points in the direction of the front edge 74 or the roller blind housing. The corresponding counterparts to the connecting elements 81 are formed on the front edge 74 and/or on the roller blind housing 4, so that the roller blind housing 4 can be securely and detachably connected to the front edge 74. (Figure 15)

In one embodiment, the front edge 2 of the awning 72 has a piping rail 76 along the longitudinal axis L. The piping rail 76 is formed from an approximately cylindrical cavity which has a slot-like opening of slot width SB on one side, which is thin relative to the cylinder diameter. Such a piping rail 76 is attached to awnings 72 in order to fasten guy ropes 82, which have a piping 38 at at least one end, therein. (Figure 15) A piping 38, which is approximately cylindrical and can be moved along a longitudinal axis L within a piping rail 76 and has a piping length KL and a piping width KB, has a protruding piping flag 40, which is firmly connected to the piping and protrudes from the piping rail 76 through the slot-like opening. The piping 38 can be moved along the piping rail 76 through the piping flag 40. A piping 38 is preferably made of metal or plastic. (Figure 15)

Furthermore, the upper edge 16 of the roller blind housing 4, which faces the front edge 74 of the awning 72 in the vertical direction, is also designed as a piping rail 76 (Figure 16).

Thus, the connecting elements 81 for connecting the connector 14 or the piping rail 76 to the roller blind housing 4 are also designed as piping 38 in this embodiment. This means that two opposite sides of a connector 14 have a piping 38 and the area between them is designed as a piping flag 40. (Figure 18a)

A piping 83 can also be made up of two parts. These two parts, which are approximately symmetrical to one another along the vertical axis V, are connected to one another, for example, by means of a magnetic element 84 (Figure 18e) or a pin-socket coupling (Figure 15b and Figure 8). One part of the piping 38 has a first part 42 with a semi-cylindrical piping section 46 and a piping flag section 50, which corresponds in thickness to approximately half the piping flag 40 of the one-piece piping, with a magnetic element 84. The second part 44 of the piping 38 comprises a piping section 48 and a piping flag section 52 with a magnetic element 84. This offers the advantage that the parts of the piping 38 can be inserted separately into a piping rail 76 and assembled there without having to first remove end caps or the guy ropes 82.

The two-part piping 83 can have a piping 38 on opposite sides of the connector 14 (see Figure 15b), as well as only on one side of the connector 14 (see Figure 18e).

A piping 38 can be designed as a metal or plastic plate 85 into which at least two screws 86 made of metal or plastic have been screwed (see Figure 18f). The thickness of the metal or plastic plate corresponds to that permitted for a piping flag 40. The length of the screws 86 should be selected to be smaller than approximately the diameter of the piping rail 76. The piping 13 is formed using very simple means and offers the advantage of being inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

In a further embodiment, the connecting elements 81 of the connectors 14 are designed as a magnetic coupling. The connectors 14 have a magnetic element 84 on at least one side, which can form a magnetic coupling with the corresponding magnetic counterpart 87, which is arranged on the front edge 74 or on the roller blind housing 4. The magnetic elements 84 can be designed, for example, as discs, as bar magnets and/or in a connector 14 be incorporated. Both the magnetic elements 84 and the magnetic counterparts 87 are ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic. The magnetic effect between the magnetic element 84 and the magnetic counterpart 87 should be sufficiently strong to hold the weight of the roller blind system 1 on the front edge 74 and also be strong enough when force is applied to hold the roller blind system 1 securely on the awning 72. This allows the roller blind system 79 to be assembled and disassembled very quickly and easily. (Figure 18b)

Figure 18b shows a magnetic coupling which is formed between the front edge 74 and the upper edge 8, wherein a magnetic element 84 has established a magnetic connection with the magnetic counterparts 87 on the front edge 74 and the upper edge 8, illustrated by N and S. The magnetic element 84 is incorporated in a connector 14.

It is also possible to design the connecting elements 81 in such a way that a connection of hooks or coupling hooks 34 and eyelets or coupling eyelets 32 holds the roller blind system 79 at the front edge 74. For this purpose, the connecting elements 81 are designed either as a coupling hook 34 or as a coupling eyelet 32 on at least one side of a connector 14, and the counterpart is arranged on the front edge 74 and/or roller blind housing 4. A coupling hook 34 has a hook-shaped structure so that a structure having a suitable eyelet can be hooked into it. Hook-shaped structures can be formed, for example, by rods which have a bend in the opposite direction of the counterpart to be hooked in, or by rods which have an end which prevents the counterpart to be hooked in from being unhooked. A coupling eyelet 32 forms the counterpart to the coupling hook 34 in that it has the appropriate eyelet opening at the appropriate distance from the edge of a connector 6. There are also coupling hooks 34 or coupling eyes 32 that have a piping 38 and can thus be inserted into a piping rail 76. (Figure 18d)

For example, a coupling hook 34 can be arranged on the front edge of the awning 72 and a coupling eyelet 32 on the upper edge 8 of the roller blind housing 4. By hanging the roller blind housing 4 on the front edge 74, a positive, secure connection is created between them. (Figure 18d)

In a further embodiment, the connecting elements 81 are designed as Velcro connectors 88. For this purpose, strips of Velcro connectors 88 are attached to the front edge 74 and/or to the roller blind housing 4 using adhesive, screws or the like. Velcro connectors 88 comprise an adhesive part 89 with barbs and a fleece part 90 with loops for the barbs. Either the adhesive part 89 or the fleece part 90 can be attached to the front edge 74 and the corresponding counterpart to the upper edge 8. However, it is also conceivable that a flat connector 14, which has an adhesive part 89 or fleece part 90 on at least one side, is introduced as an intermediate piece and the same Adhesive part 89 or fleece part 90 is arranged. Such a Velcro connection can be easily connected and also removed again. (Figure 18c)

Figure 18c shows, by way of example, a section of the front edge 2 of an awning 72 and a section of the upper edge 16 of the roller blind housing 4, which can be connected to one another by means of Velcro fasteners 88. The fleece part 90 is arranged on the upper edge 8 and the adhesive part 89 is arranged on the front edge 16.

The connectors 14 can also be flexible, for example with hinges, made of flexible plastic or fabric. They can also have partial flexibility, i.e. they can only be bent in one direction. This allows the roller blind 2 to hang freely and moveably.

As mentioned above, an elongated connector 14 is referred to as a connector band 80. A connector band 80 can have the same connecting means as the connectors 14 explained above and can accordingly be connected to the front edge 6 and the upper edge 8 in the same way. (Figure 17a-k)

Figure 15a shows an example embodiment of the connector band 80, which has a piping 38 and a common piping flag 40 on both sides.

In further embodiments, various combinations of connecting means 9 on both sides of the connector 6 or the connector band 80 are conceivable.

In Figure 17a, the connector band 80 is designed such that it has a piping 38 for connection to the front edge 74 and coupling hooks 34 for connection to the upper edge 8. Accordingly, a piping rail 76 is arranged on the front edge 74 and coupling eyes 32 are arranged on the upper edge 8.

Figure 17b shows the other connection of the connector band 80 with the upper edge 8 in the form of exchanged positions of coupling hooks 34 and coupling eyes 32 compared to Figure 17a.

In Figure 17c, the connector band 80 has coupling hooks 34 and the front edge 74 and the upper edge 16 have the corresponding coupling eyes 32. Figure 17d shows the exchanged positions of the connecting means 9 compared to Figure 17c.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the front edge 2 has coupling hooks 34 and the upper edge 16 has a piping rail 76. Thus, the connector band 80 is formed on one side with coupling eyes 25 and on the opposite side with a piping 38 (see Figure 17e). Figure 17f shows a connector band 80 which has magnetic elements 18 for a magnetic coupling on one side and a piping 38 on the opposite side. The connector band 80 is drawn into a piping rail 76 at the upper edge 8 and is connected to the front edge 74 by means of a magnetic coupling.

A connector band 80 can also be connected to the front edge 74 of the awning 72 by means of one or more zipper connections.

In the embodiments explained above, the connector band 80 can also be split. The connector band 80 can be split longitudinally along the longitudinal axis L and/or transversely along the vertical axis V into at least two parts. The parts of the connector band 80 or hereinafter split connector band 80 offer the advantage that the connection to the front edge 74 of the awning 72 and/or the connection to the upper edge 8 of the roller blind housing 4 does not have to be released in order to hang the roller blind 2. If the front edge 2 and/or the upper edge 16 has a piping rail 76 with end caps, these only have to be dismantled once in order to pull in a part of the split connector band 80. (Figure 17g-j)

The split connector band 80 can be joined together simply by magnetic coupling using magnetic elements 84 and/or magnetic counterparts 87, which are either incorporated in the split connector band 80 in piece form or connect the two halves of the split connector band 80 from the outside. The magnetic elements 84 and counterparts 87 can also be an elongated magnetic band (Figure 17g).

Similar to the magnetic coupling, a connection of the split connector band 80 with snap fasteners is also conceivable. In this case, a snap fastener ring ball 91 is attached to one part of the split connector band 80 and a snap fastener eyelet 92 is attached to the other part. By pressing the snap fastener ring ball 91 and the snap fastener eyelet 92 together, the split connector band 80 is united. (Figure 17h)

The split connector band 80 can also be connected by means of Velcro fasteners 88 (see Figure 17i).

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the parts of the connector band 80 can also be joined together by means of a zipper connection.

In order to join the split connector strip 80 together, positive plug connections 93, which for example have a locking mechanism 94, can also be used. These positive plug connections 93 are made of two parts, which have been produced for example by injection molding or the like. The plug connection 93 can only be released by manually, intentionally opening the locking mechanism 94. This means that the roller blind 2 cannot be accidentally torn down by children playing around or by animals. (Figure 17j) Both the connector tape 80 and the split connector tape 80 can be flexible, for example, made of a fabric or a flexible plastic film. This means that they can be rolled up and are easy to transport. In order to make the piping 38 rollable, many individual pipings can be drawn one after the other into the edge of the connector tape 80 or split connector tape 80.

In a further embodiment, at least one connector 14 or a connector band 80 can be integrally connected to the roller blind housing 4. The integral connection 95 to the roller blind housing 4 eliminates the need to connect to a connector 14 when assembling the roller blind system 79. This not only offers the advantage that the roller blind system 79 can be assembled and disassembled more easily and quickly, but also that no connectors 14 or a connector band 80 are required in addition to the roller blind housing 4, which can be lost and forgotten.

Figure 17k shows a connector band 80 which has an integral connection 95 with the roller blind housing 4. The connection to the front edge 74 is formed by a piping rail 76.

The parts of the roller blind 4 and the shading device 12 can be made of a weather-resistant material, wherein the materials can contain impregnated nylon, Teflon-coated polyacrylic, olefin, mixtures of polyester, polyethylene and/or polypropylene.

Furthermore, the roller blind 2 can be designed to be continuously extendable and lockable. This allows the roller blind 2 to be set to the desired height. (Figure 1, Figure 19)

The roller system 1 can be made of lightweight materials. The roller blind housing 4 can be made of plastic and/or aluminum. The shading device 7 and parts of the roller blind 2 can be made of lightweight material.

The roller system 79 is used primarily for camping, but can also be attached to permanently installed awnings on the house and in the garden, as well as to projections on balconies or loggias. An awning 72 is usually attached to the door side of a camping vehicle 70, such as a caravan or mobile home 70. Such awnings 3 usually have a piping rail 76 on their front edge 74 in order to attach guy ropes 82, which have a piping 38 on one side. When the awning 72 is extended, the guy ropes 82 attached to the piping rail 76 are connected to the ground (Figure 19). In this way, the awning 72 is tensioned.

The awning 72 is thus constructed almost parallel or horizontally to the ground. This provides protection from the high sun for people underneath. Because the awning 72 is attached to a caravan or mobile home 70 and is also stored there, the Awning 72 must not exceed a certain size, as otherwise it would offer too much wind resistance when stowed away when the caravan or motorhome 36 is moving. Therefore, the awning 72 cannot be extended any further when the sun is low in order to protect yourself from glare. In this case, the roller system 79 can be hung on the front edge 74 of the awning 72. (Figure 1)

Since the front edge 74 of the awning 72 usually has a piping rail 76, the piping rail 76 can be used to hang the roller blind system 79. Some caravans or mobile homes 70 do not have an awning 72 on the roof edge of their door side, but do have a piping rail 76, e.g. for attaching an awning. The roller blind system 79 can also be hung on a front piping rail, which can be arranged on a roof edge of the camping vehicle 70, in order to offer privacy and/or sun protection, e.g. when the door in the caravan or mobile home 70 is open. Such a front piping rail is often formed on a vehicle front, e.g. the side of a mobile home, on which a roller blind can be hung, for example to cover a door.

One advantage of using the piping rail 76 is that a roller blind 2, which is only part of the width of the awning 72, can be individually, quickly and easily adapted to personal needs in terms of sun protection and privacy. Several roller blinds 2 can also be hung, which can be individually locked. The roller blinds can also be connected to one another (see Figure 2).

It is conceivable that several roller blinds 2 or roller blind systems 79 are connected to one another by means of a piping 38, a magnetic coupling, coupling hooks 34, coupling eyes 32, a locking device and/or one or more Velcro connectors 88. Using these connecting means, the individual roller blinds can be joined together without gaps, so that a larger area is protected from the sun and prying eyes than with just one roller blind. This offers the advantage that instead of one wide and heavy roller blind, at least two smaller and lighter roller blinds can be used. For example, the individual roller blinds can first be attached to the front edge of the awning before they are joined together.

To suspend the roller blind system 1 on the piping rail 76, a piping 38 comprising two semi-cylindrical piping bodies 20 and half piping flags 21 can be inserted into the piping rail 76 without removing the end caps or the guy ropes 82. First, a first half of the piping 13 is inserted into the slot-like opening of the piping rail 76, then the second half not far from it. Inside the piping rail 76, both halves are joined together by means of a pin-beech coupling 19 or magnetic coupling by means of magnetic elements 18 and thus form a complete piping 38. (see Figure 15b) As mentioned above, there are other ways to hang the roller system 79 on the front edge 74. If the awning 72 does not have a piping rail on its front edge 74, there are other ways to hang the roller system 79 depending on the situation.

In embodiments, the roller blind 2 can also be connected to the ground by means of a guying device, e.g. a guy rope, which allows it to be guyed at an acute angle to the vertical axis V. This means that the roller blind 2 remains in the desired position, even if it is attacked by wind. (Figure 1)

The roller blind can be secured in different ways. Guy ropes 98 can be hooked into the guy eyes 28 at the lower edge of the roller blind 2 and can be connected to the ground in different ways, for example by means of screw pegs 99, a cord or the like (Figure 19a, left half).

It is also possible for the roller blind housing 4 to have guy ropes 82 and to be connected to the ground by means of these (Figure 19a, right side). Rollers 96 are arranged in the roller blind housing 4 in order to store the guy ropes 82 in the rolled-up state in the housing. The free ends of the guy rope 98 can each be attached to a peg or screw peg 99, which can be fixed in the ground. Guide elements 97 are attached to the lower edge of the roller blind 2, which are designed to be movable along the guy rope 98. In this way, a roller blind 2 can be guided along the guy rope 98. (Figure 19b).

Figure 19a shows an overall structure of an extended awning 72, which is guyed and has a piping rail 76 on its front edge 74. Two roller blind housings 4 are suspended in the piping rail 76 by means of connectors 14. The roller blinds 2 are each extended to different heights and guyed by means of a guy line 98.

Figure 19b shows two detailed views. Detailed view A shows a schematic shaft or a roller 96 of a guy line 98. Detailed view B shows a schematic guide element 97 of a roller blind 2.
