Eine erfindungsgemässe Wetterschutzvorrichtung ist schematisch in einer Draufsicht in Fig. 1 im auseinandergeklappten oder -gefalteten Zustand dargestellt.A weather protection device according to the invention is schematic in a plan view in Fig. 1 unfolded or folded state shown.

Die Wetterschutzvorrichtung 1 umfasst ein faltbares Schutzelement 2, das in dem gezeigten, geöffneten Zustand etwa einen Öffnungswinkel von 105° aufweist. Das Schutzelement 2 hat vier horizontal schwenkbar an einem Knotenelement 3 gelagerte Holme 4, eine an den Holmen 4 befestigte und den Raum zwischen den Holmen überdeckende, nicht kreisförmige Plane 5 und eine verstellbare Haltevorrichtung 6, mit deren Hilfe das Schutzelement 2 in seiner jeweiligen Position abgestützt und gemäss Fig. 1 an einer vertikalen Wand 7 gehalten ist.The weather protection device 1 comprises a foldable protective element 2, that in the open state shown about has an opening angle of 105 °. The protective element 2 has four horizontally pivotable on a node element 3 stored bars 4, one attached to the bars 4 and the Non-circular space covering the spars Tarpaulin 5 and an adjustable holding device 6, with the Help the protective element 2 in its respective position 1 and supported on a vertical wall 7 is held.

Erfindungsgemäss ist die Haltevorrichtung 6 derart ausgebildet und angeordnet, dass damit ein Drehen des auseinandergefalteten Schutzelementes 2 um eine vertikale oder um horizontale Achsen und/oder eine Höhenverstellung des Schutzelementes und/oder eine Neigungsverstellung des Schutzelementes und/oder eine Schwenkverstellung des Schutzelementes um eine mittig zwischen den äusseren Holmen vorgesehenen Achse 8 und/oder ein zumindest teilweises Aufspannen der Plane mittels eines Spannbügels 9 möglich ist.According to the invention, the holding device 6 is designed in this way and arranged to thereby rotate the unfolded Protection element 2 around a vertical or horizontal Axes and / or a height adjustment of the Protective element and / or an inclination adjustment of the protective element and / or a swivel adjustment of the protective element around a center provided between the outer spars Axis 8 and / or an at least partial clamping the tarpaulin is possible by means of a clamping bracket 9.

Ein Teil der Haltevorrichtung 6 ist in Fig. 2 schematisch und vereinfacht in einer Seitenansicht gezeigt. Die Haltevorrichtung 6 weist einen Verstellmechanismus 10 und das damit verbundene Knotenelement 3 auf, in das das innere Ende 11 jedes Holmes 4 horizontal schwenkbar aufgenommen ist, wobei die letztgenannte horizontale Verschwenkbarbkeit der Holme in Fig. 2 nicht dargestellt ist.A part of the holding device 6 is shown schematically in FIG shown simplified in a side view. The holding device 6 has an adjustment mechanism 10 and the associated Node element 3 into which the inner end 11 of each Holmes 4 is horizontally pivoted, the last mentioned horizontal pivotability of the bars in Fig. 2 is not shown.

Der Verstellmechanismus 10 ist derart mit dem Knotenelement 3 gekoppelt, dass letzteres durch den Verstellmechanismus 10 drehbar bzw. schwenkbar und/oder verschiebbar ist. Mit Hilfe des in Fig. 2 gezeigten Verstellmechanismus 10 ist ein Drehen bzw. Verschwenken des Knotenelementes 3 und des Schutzelementes 2 um eine vertikale Achse 12 und eine horizontale Achse 13 möglich. Zum horizontalen Verschwenken des Schutzelementes 2 im geöffneten Zustand weist der Verstellmechanismus 10 ein erstes Schneckengetriebe 14 mit einer etwa horizontal angeordneten Gewindestange 15 auf, deren Aussengewinde mit einem auf der vertikalen Achse 12 sitzenden Zahnrad 16 kämmt. Zwecks einer besseren Darstellung des ersten Schneckengetriebes 14 ist die Gewindestange 15 in Fig. 2 im Vergleich zum Zahnrad 16 vergrössert darstellt.The adjustment mechanism 10 is in this way with the node element 3 coupled that the latter by the adjustment mechanism 10 is rotatable or pivotable and / or displaceable. With help of the adjustment mechanism 10 shown in FIG. 2 is turning or pivoting the node element 3 and the protective element 2 about a vertical axis 12 and a horizontal axis 13 possible. For swiveling the protective element horizontally 2 in the open state has the adjustment mechanism 10 first worm gear 14 with an approximately horizontally arranged Threaded rod 15, whose external thread with a on the vertical axis 12 gear 16 meshes. For a better representation of the first worm gear 14 is the threaded rod 15 in Fig. 2 in comparison to the gear 16 enlarged.

Die Gewindestange 15 ist mittels einer schematisch angedeuteten, ersten Öse 17 um eine horizontale Achse 18 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils A drehbar. Dazu ist eine vertikale Achse 19 über Kegelräder 20 mit der Achse 18 der Gewindestange 15 verbunden. Diese Verbindung kann beispielsweise auch über ein oder mehrere Kreuzgelenke erfolgen.The threaded rod 15 is by means of a schematically indicated first eyelet 17 about a horizontal axis 18 in the direction of the double arrow A rotatable. There is a vertical axis 19 for this via bevel gears 20 with the axis 18 of the threaded rod 15 connected. This connection can also, for example, via a or several universal joints.

Ein Drehen der Öse 17 verursacht somit ein Drehen des Knotenelements 3 um die vertikale Achse 12, d.h. in horizontaler Richtung, wie dies durch den Doppelpfeil B angedeutet ist. Das Schutzelement 2 deckt im geöffneten Zustand beispielsweise einen Öffnungswinkel zwischen 60 und 180° ab, ist in diesem geöffneten Zustand mittels des ersten Schneckengetriebes 14 jedoch um etwa 270° schwenkbar.Rotation of the eyelet 17 thus causes the node element to rotate 3 about the vertical axis 12, i.e. in horizontal Direction, as indicated by the double arrow B. The protective element 2 covers, for example, in the open state an opening angle between 60 and 180 ° is in this open state by means of the first worm gear 14 but can be swiveled by approximately 270 °.

Ein zweites Schneckengetriebe 21 ist ferner in Fig. 2 dargestellt und weist eine um die vertikale Achse 22 einer Öse 23 drehbare Gewindestange 24 auf, welche drehbar an einer Lagerplatte 25 gehalten ist. Das Aussengewinde der Gewindestange 24 kämmt mit einem fest mit dem Knotenelement 3 verbundenen Zahnrad 26, wobei das Zahnrad 26 und das Knotenelement 3 um die horizontale Achse 13 drehbar sind, welche in der Lagerplatte 25 drehbar gehalten ist.A second worm gear 21 is also shown in FIG. 2 and has an eyelet 23 about the vertical axis 22 rotatable threaded rod 24, which is rotatable on a bearing plate 25 is held. The external thread of the threaded rod 24 meshes with one firmly connected to the node element 3 Gear 26, the gear 26 and the node element 3 around the horizontal axis 13 are rotatable, which in the bearing plate 25 is held rotatably.

Ein Drehen der Achse 22 mittels der Öse 23 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils C bewirkt damit ein Hochschwenken des Knotenelements in Richtung des Pfeils D oder ein Absenken des Knotenelements 3 in Richtung des Pfeils E. Es ist klar, dass durch die Schwenkbewegung des Knotenelements auch die Holme 4 eine Schwenkbewegung ausführen, so dass insgesamt gesehen die Neigung des Schutzelementes 2 mittels des zweiten Schneckengetriebes 21 einstellbar ist.Rotation of the axis 22 by means of the eyelet 23 in the direction of Double arrow C thus causes the Node element in the direction of arrow D or a lowering of the Node element 3 in the direction of arrow E. It is clear that due to the pivoting movement of the node element, the spars 4 perform a swiveling movement so that overall the Inclination of the protective element 2 by means of the second worm gear 21 is adjustable.

Der in Fig. 2 gezeigte Verstellmechanismus 10 ermöglicht also ein Drehen des auseinandergefalteten Schutzelementes in horizontaler Richtung um die vertikale Achse 12 und ein Verschwenken des Schutzelementes nach oben bzw. nach unten um die horizontale Achse 13.The adjustment mechanism 10 shown in FIG. 2 thus enables a turning of the unfolded protective element in a horizontal Direction about the vertical axis 12 and a pivoting of the protective element upwards or downwards the horizontal axis 13.

Der besseren Deutlichkeit halber ist das erste Schneckengetriebe 14 in Fig. 3 schematisch in einer Draufsicht gezeigt. Es ist klar, dass die Gewindestange 15 mittels der Lagerböcke 27 in ihrer Stellung gehalten und damit an einem Herausgleiten aus dem Eingriff mit dem Zahnrad 16 gehindert ist.For the sake of clarity, the first worm gear is 14 schematically shown in Fig. 3 in a plan view. It is clear that the threaded rod 15 by means of the pedestals 27 held in position and thus slipping out is prevented from engagement with the gear 16.

Eine weitere Variante 28 des Verstellmechanismus 10 ist in Fig. 2 lediglich gestrichelt angedeutet. Diese Variante dient dazu, das Knotenelement 3 auf einer weiteren horizontalen Achse 29, welche mit der ersten horizontalen Achse 13 einen Winkel von 90° einschliesst, zu drehen, so dass das gesamte Schutzelement um die Achse 29 schwenkt. Diese Achse ist mittig zwischen den äusseren Holmen 4 vorgesehen und kann mit der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Achse 8 etwa in einer vertikalen Ebene liegen.Another variant 28 of the adjustment mechanism 10 is shown in FIG Fig. 2 only indicated by dashed lines. This variant serves the node element 3 on a further horizontal Axis 29, which with the first horizontal axis 13 one Includes an angle of 90 ° to rotate so that the whole Protective element pivots about axis 29. This axis is provided in the middle between the outer spars 4 and can with the axis 8 shown in Fig. 1 approximately in a vertical Level.

Gemäss einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die weitere Variante 28 wie das erste Schneckengetriebe 14 aufgebaut, so dass es auch möglich ist, das erste Schneckengetriebe 14 derart auszubilden, dass es, wie in Fig. 2 in durchgezogenen Linien gezeigt, von oben her mit seiner Achse 12 in die Lagerplatte 25 einsteckbar oder aus der Lagerplatte 25 herausziehbar und in der Stellung der Variante 28 mit der Lagerplatte 25 verbindbar ist. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, dass das erste Schneckengetriebe in zwei unterschiedlichen Stellungen mit der Lagerplatte 25 und damit mit dem Knotenelement 3 verbindbar und daher in der Lage ist, das Knotenelement um eine vertikale sowie um eine horizontale Achse zu drehen. Insofern ist das Schutzelement 2 sowohl in Form eines Daches oder Schirms als auch in Form einer vertikalen Wand oder Abtrennung einsetzbar, im letzteren Fall insbesondere dann, wenn das dachförmige Schutzelement um die horizontale Achse 29 gedreht und somit in eine vertikale Position überführt wird.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention the further variant 28 as the first worm gear 14 built up so that it is also possible the first Form worm gear 14 in such a way that, as in FIG. 2 shown in solid lines, from above with his Axis 12 can be inserted into the bearing plate 25 or from the Bearing plate 25 extractable and in the position of the variant 28 can be connected to the bearing plate 25. This embodiment has the advantage that the first worm gear in two different positions with the bearing plate 25 and thus connectable to the node element 3 and therefore in the Is the node element around a vertical and a horizontal axis to rotate. In this respect, the protective element is 2 both in the form of a roof or umbrella as well as in shape a vertical wall or partition, in the latter Case especially when the roof-shaped Protection element rotated about the horizontal axis 29 and thus is transferred to a vertical position.

Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Verstellmechanismus 10 gemäss Fig. 4 ferner einen Verschiebemechanismus 30 in Form einer drehbaren Gewindestange 31 und einer auf dieser hin- und herbewegbaren und das Knotenelement 3 tragenden Mutter 32 auf.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the adjustment mechanism 10 according to FIG. 4 furthermore a displacement mechanism 30 in the form of a rotatable threaded rod 31 and one on this back and forth and that Node element 3 carrying nut 32.

Der Verschiebemechanismus 30 ist in einem an einer vertikalen Wand 33 über eine Befestigungsplatte 34 mit Befestigungsmitteln 35 gehaltenen Hohlprofil 36 untergebracht, wie dies in den Fig. 4 und 5 angedeutet ist.The slide mechanism 30 is in one on a vertical Wall 33 over a mounting plate 34 with fasteners 35 held hollow profile 36, as shown in 4 and 5 is indicated.

Das Befestigungsprofil 36 hat einen etwa quadratischen Querschnitt und ist an seinem oberen Ende sowie an seinem unteren Ende mittels eines Deckels 37, 38 abgedeckt, in dem die Gewindestange 31 auf nicht näher gezeigte Weise bzw. die Verlängerung der Gewindestange 31 durch die Achse 39 einer Öse 40 drehbar gelagert ist.The fastening profile 36 has an approximately square cross section and is at its top and bottom End covered by a cover 37, 38 in which the threaded rod 31 in a manner not shown or the extension the threaded rod 31 through the axis 39 of an eyelet 40 is rotatably mounted.

Die Mutter 32 weist auf ihrer in Fig. 4 sichtbaren Vorderseite eine Verbindungsplatte 41 auf, welche mit einer Aufnahmeplatte 42 zum Befestigen des Knotenelementes 3 bzw. der weiteren Elemente des Verstellmechanismus 10 verbunden ist. Ferner sind an der Mutter 32 Halteböcke 43 radial nach aussen weisend derart befestigt, dass deren Mittelebenen etwa mit gegenüberliegenden Ecken des Hohlprofils 36 fluchten. Der besseren Übersicht halber sind die Halteböcke 43 in der Seitenansicht gemäss Fig. 4 weggelassen und lediglich in der Draufsicht gemäss Fig. 5 schematisch dargestellt. Die Halteböcke 43 dienen zum drehbaren Lagern von Laufrollen 44, welche derart ausgebildet sind, dass jeweils eine Laufrolle 44 in einer der vier innenliegenden Ecken des Hohlprofils in vertikaler Richtung auf- und abrollbar ist. Der besseren Übersicht halber sind die Laufrollen 44 in Fig. 5 lediglich mit gestrichelten Linien angedeutet. Vorzugsweise läuft die äussere Mantelfläche der Laufrollen 44 zur Mitte jeder Laufrolle hin konvex zu, so dass der Verschiebemechanismus 30 gut abgestützt und verschiebbar in dem Hohlprofil 36 untergebracht ist. Für den Durchtritt der Verbindungsplatte 41 ist die vordere Seitenwand 45 des Hohlprofils 36 mit einem Längsschlitz 46 versehen.The nut 32 has on her visible in Fig. 4 Front of a connecting plate 41, which with a Mounting plate 42 for fastening the node element 3 or the other elements of the adjustment mechanism 10 connected is. Furthermore, 32 holding blocks 43 are radially on the nut attached to the outside in such a way that their central planes are approximately aligned with opposite corners of the hollow profile 36. The For the sake of a better overview, the holding brackets 43 are shown in FIG 4 omitted and only in the 5 schematically shown top view. The Brackets 43 are used for rotatably supporting rollers 44, which are designed such that a roller 44 in one of the four inner corners of the hollow profile in can be rolled up and down in the vertical direction. The better For the sake of clarity, the rollers 44 in FIG. 5 are merely indicated by dashed lines. Preferably running outer surface of the rollers 44 to the center of each Roller convex towards, so that the sliding mechanism 30 well supported and slidably housed in the hollow profile 36 is. For the passage of the connecting plate 41 is the front side wall 45 of the hollow profile 36 with a Longitudinal slot 46 provided.

Bei einem Drehen der Öse 40 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils F verschiebt sich die Mutter 32 einschliesslich der Verbindungsplatte 41 sowie der Aufnahmeplatte 42 entlang des Doppelpfeils G, wodurch das gesamte Schutzelement 2 höhenverstellbar ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann der Abstand zwischen dem dachförmigen Schutzelement und dem Boden vergrössert bzw. verringert werden.When turning the eyelet 40 in the direction of the double arrow F the mother 32 moves including the Connection plate 41 and the receiving plate 42 along the Double arrow G, whereby the entire protective element 2 is adjustable in height is trained. This allows the distance between enlarged the roof-shaped protective element and the floor or be reduced.

Lediglich der Vollständigkeit halber wird darauf hingewiesen, dass in der Darstellung gemäss Fig. 4 der besseren Übersicht halber auch die Aufnahmeplatte 42 sowie die vordere Seitenwand 45 mit dem Längsschlitz 46 im Hohlprofil 36 weggelassen sind.For the sake of completeness, it is pointed out that in the representation according to FIG. 4 the better overview for the sake of the receiving plate 42 and the front Side wall 45 with the longitudinal slot 46 in the hollow profile 36 omitted are.

Wie zuvor erwähnt, ist das erfindungsgemässe Schutzelement 2 mittels eines Spannbügels 9 zumindest teilweise aufspannbar. Jeder Spannbügel hat etwa in seiner Längsmitte ein Gelenk 47, wie dies genauer in den Fig. 6, 8 und 9 angedeutet ist. Gemäss der in Fig. 6 gezeigten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Schutzelement 2 in Form einer Trennwand ausgebildet und umfasst einen Öffnungswinkel von etwa 90°. Der eine äussere Holm 4 ist in der Seitenansicht eines Balkons 48 horizontal, der andere äussere Holm etwa an einer Hauswand 49 vertikal angeordnet. Dieses Schutzelement ist also in Form einer faltbaren Wetter- oder Sichtschutzwand ausgebildet. Einer der äusseren Holme 4 ist fixiert, wohingegen der andere lösbar befestigt ist, so dass bei einem Lösen des letzteren das gesamte Schutzelement 2 zusammenklappbar ist.As mentioned above, the protective element 2 according to the invention is can be at least partially clamped by means of a clamping bracket 9. Each clamping bracket has a joint 47 approximately in its longitudinal center, as is indicated in more detail in FIGS. 6, 8 and 9. According to the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 6 the protective element 2 is designed in the form of a partition and includes an opening angle of about 90 °. The one Outer spar 4 is a side view of a balcony 48 horizontal, the other outer spar, for example, on a house wall 49 arranged vertically. So this protective element is in shape a foldable weather or privacy screen. One of the outer bars 4 is fixed, whereas the other is releasably attached so that when the latter is released the entire protective element 2 is collapsible.

In der in Fig. 6 gezeigten Ansicht sind beide äusseren Enden 50, 51 des Spannbügels 9 mit einem der äusseren Holme 4 des Schutzelementes 2 schwenkbar verbunden. Gemäss Fig. 6 bietet das dort gezeigte Schutzelement in dem Öffnungswinkel von 90° seitlichen Sicht- und Wetterschutz.In the view shown in Fig. 6 are both outer ends 50, 51 of the clamping bracket 9 with one of the outer bars 4 of the Protection element 2 pivotally connected. 6 offers the protective element shown there in the opening angle of 90 ° side view and weather protection.

Gemäss Fig. 7 ist das lediglich schematisch angedeutete Schutzelement nahe einer Aussenseite 52 des Balkons 48 angeordnet und beispielsweise an einer aussenliegenden Dachsparre 53 befestigt. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich die nächste innere Dachsparre 54 nahe der Hauswand 49 bzw. nahe einem nicht gezeigten Fenster. Oberhalb der Dachsparren 53 und 54 erstreckt sich ein schematisch lediglich angedeutetes Dach 55.7 that is only indicated schematically Protective element arranged near an outer side 52 of the balcony 48 and for example on an external roof barrier 53 attached. In the embodiment shown the next inner roof barrier 54 near the house wall 49 or near a window, not shown. Above the Rafters 53 and 54 only extend schematically indicated roof 55.

Das in Fig. 7 gezeigte Schutzelement ist ebenso wie das in Fig. 6 gezeigte vertikal, im Gegensatz zu diesem jedoch etwa parallel zur Hauswand 49 angeordnet. Es ist möglich, das in Fig. 7 nicht gezeigte Knotenelement nahe an der Oberseite des Balkons 48 oder nahe an der Unterseite des Dachsparrens 53 anzuordnen. Das in Fig. 7 gezeigte Schutzelement dient also vornehmlich als Sicht- und/oder Wetterschutz von der Vorderseite 56 her. Dieses Schutzelement 2 kann derart ausgebildet sein, dass es auch als seitlicher Sicht- und Wetterschutz verwendbar ist. In dem letztgenannten Fall wäre das Schutzelement beispielsweise um die Schwenkachse 57 so zu drehen, dass die äusseren Enden der Holme zur Hauswand 49 gerichtet sind. Es ist klar, dass in dem letztgenannten Fall die Länge zumindest des untersten, äusseren Holmes 4 den lichten Abstand zwischen der Achse 57 und der Hauswand 49 nicht übersteigt.The protective element shown in FIG. 7 is the same as that in FIG Fig. 6 shown vertically, in contrast to this, however, approximately arranged parallel to the house wall 49. It is possible that in Fig. 7, not shown, node element close to the top of the Balconies 48 or close to the underside of rafters 53 to arrange. The protective element shown in FIG. 7 thus serves primarily as privacy and / or weather protection from the front 56 ago. This protective element 2 can be designed in this way be that it is also used as a side view and weather protection is usable. In the latter case, that would be Protective element for example about the pivot axis 57 turn the outer ends of the spars to the wall 49 are directed. It is clear that in the latter case the length of at least the lowest, outer spar 4 den clear distance between the axis 57 and the house wall 49 does not exceed.

Eine andere Ausführungsform des Schutzelementes 2 ist in den Fig. 8 und 9 gezeigt, welche eine Draufsicht auf die erfindungsgemässe Wetterschutzvorrichtung verdeutlichen. Die Schutzvorrichtung ist wiederum mittels der nicht näher gezeigten Haltevorrichtung an einer vertikalen Wand 33 verstellbar befestigt, die auch eine Hauswand oder die Wand einer Garage sein kann. Das hier gezeigte Schutzelement 2 hat einen Öffnungswinkel von etwa 180° und eine Plane 5, welche mit sieben Holmen 4 verbunden ist. Die zwischen den äusseren Holmen 4 angeordneten, weiteren Holme sind der Einfachheit halber lediglich strichpunktiert angedeutet.Another embodiment of the protective element 2 is in the 8 and 9, which are a top view of the invention Clarify weather protection device. The Protective device is in turn by means of the not shown Holding device on a vertical wall 33 adjustable attached, which is also a house wall or the wall of a Garage can be. The protective element 2 shown here has an opening angle of about 180 ° and a tarpaulin 5, which is connected to seven bars 4. The one between the outer ones Spars 4 arranged, further spars are of simplicity only indicated by dash-dotted lines.

Erfindungsgemäss weist diese Ausführungsform des Schutzelementes 2 zwei Spannbügel 9 auf, wobei lediglich ein äusseres Ende 58, 59 jedes Spannbügels mit einem der äusseren Holme 4 verbunden und das andere äussere Ende 60, 61 mit einem der anderen Holme 4, welche zwischen den äusseren Holmen 4 des Schutzelementes angeordnet sind, verbunden ist, so dass das Schutzelement 2 teilweise aufspannbar ist.According to the invention, this embodiment of the protective element 2 two clamps 9, only one outer End 58, 59 of each clamping bracket with one of the outer ones Spars 4 connected and the other outer end 60, 61 with one of the other spars 4, which are between the outer Spars 4 of the protective element are arranged, connected, so that the protective element 2 can be partially clamped.

Durch die Ausbildung der Haltevorrichtung 6 mit zwei Spannbügeln 9 ist es also möglich, das Schutzelement 2, wie dies in Fig. 9 gezeigt ist, sektorartig aufzuspannen. In diesem Fall wurden die Holme mit ihren inneren Enden des in der Figur dargestellten rechten Teils des Schutzelementes um das Knotenelement 3 in Richtung des Pfeils H so verschwenkt, dass sie etwa in einem Winkel von 90° von der vertikalen Wand 33 abstehen.By designing the holding device 6 with two Clamping brackets 9, it is possible to protect the protective element 2, such as this is shown in Fig. 9, sector-wise. In In this case, the spars with their inner ends of the in the right part of the protective element shown in the figure the node element 3 is pivoted in the direction of the arrow H, that they are approximately at an angle of 90 ° from the vertical wall 33 stick out.

Gemäss einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung versorgt ein nicht näher gezeigtes Raff die von den zusammengefalteten Holmen herunterhängende Plane, so dass die von unten sichtbare Seite des Schutzelementes ästhetisch ansprechend auch dann gestaltet ist, wenn das Schutzelement vollständig oder teilweise zusammengefaltet ist. Bei vollständig zusammengefaltetem Schutzelement können die Holme parallel zur Wand 33 je nach Ausbildung des Knotenelementes nach rechts oder links oder in eine senkrechte Position verschwenkt und an der Wand in der jeweiligen Stellung befestigt werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention a raff, not shown in detail, from the folded ones Holmen hanging tarpaulin so that the visible from below Side of the protective element also aesthetically pleasing is designed when the protective element is complete or is partially folded. When fully folded The spars can be protected parallel to the wall 33 depending on the design of the node element to the right or left or swiveled into a vertical position and on the wall be fixed in the respective position.

Ausserdem ist das Schutzelement auch im zusammengefalteten Zustand verstellbar, insbesondere mittels des Verschiebemechanismus in vertikaler Richtung höhenverstellbar, wodurch das Verräumen oder Verstauen des Schutzelementes, auch Versorgen genannt, in Nischen, Vor- oder Rücksprüngen erleichtert ist. Unabhängig von seiner Lage im zusammengefalteten Zustand ist es ferner möglich, das Schutzelement 2 durch eine Umhüllung beispielsweise mit Reissverschluss vor Witterungseinflüssen zu schützen.In addition, the protective element is also folded State adjustable, especially by means of the sliding mechanism adjustable in the vertical direction, whereby clearing or stowing the protective element, too Called care, relieved in niches, projections or recesses is. Regardless of its location in the folded Condition, it is also possible to protect element 2 through a covering, for example with a zipper To protect the weather.

Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist jeder Spannbügel vorzugsweise mittels einer um das Gelenk 47 angeordneten, nicht näher gezeigten Drehfeder in seine geöffnete oder geschlossene Stellung vorbelastet und mittels einer Verstelleinrichtung 62, vorzugsweise in Form eines Seilzuges 63, in die nicht vorbelastete Stellung überführbar.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention each clamping bracket preferably by means of a hinge 47 arranged, not shown torsion spring in its open preloaded or closed position and by means of a Adjustment device 62, preferably in the form of a cable 63, can be transferred to the non-preloaded position.

Die Verstelleinrichtung 62 ist schematisch in Fig. 1 angedeutet und der besseren Übersicht halber in den Fig. 6 bis 9 weggelassen. Das eine Ende der Verstelleinrichtung 62, also beispielsweise des Seilzuges 63, greift etwa im Bereich des Gelenkes 47 an dem Spannbügel 9 an, ist im weiteren Verlauf an der Stelle 64 am äusseren Bereich eines der mittleren Holme 4 umgelenkt und läuft anschliessend oberhalb eines Holmes zum Knotenelement 3 bzw. zur Haltevorrichtung 6, wo es vorzugsweise mittels einer weiteren, nicht gezeigten Umlenkrolle vertikal nach unten geführt und festspannbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist jeder Spannbügel mittels der nicht gezeigten Drehfeder in seine Schliessstellung vorbelastet, so dass der Spannbügel bei einem Ziehen am Seilzug 63 auseinandergeklappt werden kann, was gleichzeitig ein Auseinanderfalten des Schutzelementes zur Folge hat. Der Seilzug 63 wird in der auseinandergeklappten Stellung von Spannbügel 9 und Schutzelement 2 fixiert. Das Zusammenklappen des Spannbügels erfolgt dann so, dass die Verstelleinrichtung 62, also beispielsweise der Seilzug 63, gelöst und der Spannbügel langsam in seine Schliessstellung überführt wird, was ein Zusammenfalten des Schutzelementes zur Folge hat. Anschliessend können die Holme 4 zur Wand hin verschwenkt und an dieser befestigt werden.The adjusting device 62 is indicated schematically in FIG. 1 and for the sake of clarity in FIGS. 6 to 9 omitted. One end of the adjusting device 62, that is for example, the cable pull 63, engages approximately in the area of the Hinge 47 on the clamping bracket 9 is in the further course at position 64 on the outer area one of the middle ones Spars 4 redirected and then runs above one Holmes to the node element 3 or to the holding device 6, where it preferably by means of another, not shown Deflection roller is guided vertically downwards and can be tightened. Each clamping bracket is preferably by means of that, not shown Torsion spring biased into its closed position so that the Clamping bracket unfolded when pulling on cable 63 can become what is at the same time an unfolding of the Protection element results. The cable 63 is in the unfolded position of clamp 9 and protective element 2 fixed. The collapse of the clamp then takes place such that the adjusting device 62, for example the cable pull 63, loosened and the tensioning bracket slowly is brought into its closed position, which is a folding of the protective element. Subsequently the spars 4 can be pivoted towards the wall and on this be attached.

Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der/Erfindung sind die äusseren Holme 4 oberhalb der Plane und die zwischen den äusseren Holmen angeordneten, weiteren Holme unterhalb der Plane angeordnet. Ferner ist der Spannbügel oberhalb der äusseren Holme angeordnet. Bei mehreren Spannbügeln befindet sich vorzugsweise auch der mittlere Holm oberhalb der Plane. Somit befindet sich auch die Verstelleinrichtung oberhalb der Plane 5.According to a preferred embodiment of the / the outer spars 4 above the tarpaulin and those between the outer spars arranged, further spars below the Tarpaulin arranged. Furthermore, the clamping bracket is above the outer one Spars arranged. If there are several clamps preferably the middle spar above the tarpaulin. The adjustment device is thus located above the Plan 5.

Die Anordnung von Holmen und Plane kann aber auch in anderer Weise erfolgen. Es ist daher auch möglich, die Holme und den Spannbügel unterhalb der Plane oder beispielsweise die Holme zum Befestigen des Spannbügels auf der einen und den Spannbügel auf der anderen Seite der Plane anzuordnen. Es ist ferner möglich, den jeweiligen Spannbügel anstelle mittels eines Seilzuges auch mit einem seitlichen Schneckengetriebe zu betätigen, welches nahe einem der äusseren Holme 4 angeordnet ist. Es ist klar, dass die erfindungsgemässe Wetterschutzvorrichtung insbesondere bei vertikaler Ausrichtung auch als Sichtschutz verwendet werden kann. The arrangement of spars and tarpaulin can also be in other Way. It is therefore also possible to use the spars and the Clamping bracket below the tarpaulin or, for example, the spars for fastening the tensioning bracket on one and the Arrange the clamp on the other side of the tarpaulin. It is further possible to use the respective clamp bracket instead a cable also with a side worm gear to operate, which is near one of the outer bars 4 is arranged. It is clear that the weather protection device according to the invention especially with vertical alignment can also be used as a privacy screen.

Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ist ein vielfältiges Verstellen des Schutzelementes möglich, so dass ein und dieselbe Vorrichtung an viele in der Praxis auftretende Fälle anpassbar ist. Die Vorrichtung ist nicht nur als im wesentlichen horizontales Dach, sondern auch als vertikale wand einsetzbar.With the aid of the device according to the invention, there is a wide variety Adjustment of the protective element possible so that one and the same device to many practical cases is customizable. The device is not just as essential horizontal roof, but also as a vertical wall used.
