Louver blind having magnetic mount
The invention relates to a louver blind having louvers ( 1 ) that can be pivoted about a vertical axis, displaceably held at both ends thereof by louver holders ( 2 ) extending beyond the louver width between an upper and a lower guide track ( 3 ). The louver holders ( 2 ) are hereby connected to each other by carriages ( 4 ) displaceable in the guide tracks ( 3 ) and aligned in parallel to each other, and can be pivoted by synchronously driven drive device disposed in the carriages ( 4 ). In order to make the installation of the louver blind—or optionally the removal thereof—easier, according to the invention, decoupleable permanent magnets ( 16, 18 ) are provided for connecting between the louver mounts ( 2 ) and the carriages ( 4 ). Said arrangement has the further advantage that the connections can automatically release when critical tension or rotational forces are exceeded, so that damage can be prevented in the connecting parts.
1. A louver blind with louvers that can pivot about a vertical axis and that are held at their two ends by louver holders extending across the louver width so that they can move between an upper and a lower guide track, wherein the louver holders are arranged parallel to each other with carriages that can move in the guide tracks and can pivot by means of synchronously driven rotating means arranged in the carriages, and wherein the connection between the louver holders and the carriages is created by permanent magnets that can be decoupled,
wherein the rotating means in the carriage are locked in rotation with a rotary plate that projects from a slot of the guide tracks open to the louvers and on which the magnets are fixed in a radial alignment, and in that a magnet holder that is equipped, for creating the connection to the magnets of the rotary plate, with counter magnets of corresponding strength is mounted on the louver holders opposite the rotary plates.
2. The louver blind according to claim 1 , wherein each rotary plate has, on its edge, a peripheral ring that is directed toward the magnet holder and that is notched in the radial projection of the magnet up to the plate base at the width of the magnet holder.
3. The louver blind according to claim 2 , wherein the notched surfaces are directed outward at an angle from the plate base.
4. The louver blind according to claim 3 , wherein a circular recess is set in the center of the rotary plate or the magnet holder, wherein, in the coupled state, a round peg placed on the bottom side of the magnet holder or rotary plate engages in this recess.
5. The louver blind according to one of claims 1 , wherein chocks with inward-directed projections that engage behind the rotary plate in the coupled state of the magnets and with a safety distance “a” are mounted on the upper louver holders on both sides of the rotary plate.
6. The louver blind according to claim 5 , wherein the upper edge of the rotary plate is offset inward by a step corresponding to the radial dimension of the projections.
7. The louver blind according to claim 6 , wherein the radial step underneath the projections is provided with recesses corresponding to the width of the chocks.
8. The louver blind according to claim 7 , wherein the notched surfaces of the recesses are directed outward at an angle, while the projections of the chocks have, on their engagement edges, corresponding inward-directed counter faces that engage, in the decoupled state of the magnet holder, in the recesses of the step.
9. The louver blind according to claim 1 , wherein each rotary plate is connected by means of a rotating bar to a toothed wheel that is mounted vertically in the carriage and that is driven by means of two diametrically opposed pinions and two worms engaging in the pinions.
