SLAT FOR A LIGHT-PROTECTION AND/OR LIGHT-DIRECTION DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a slat for a light-protection and/or light-direction device or the like for the exterior façade of a building. Said slat comprises a slat body (1) with a slat shield (2), comprising an exterior or visible side (4) and a back (5), onto which a support panel (3) with a bearing channel (6) is integrally formed to receive a swivel pin around which the slat can be swiveled. The slat further comprises a receptacle (9), formed onto the free longitudinal edge of the slat shield (2), for connecting means to an actuator rod by which the slat can be swiveled around the swivel pin when the actuator rod is longitudinally displaced. The slat shield (2) has an arcuate, curved cross-section and the convex side of the slat shield (2) forms the exterior or visible side (4). The support panel (3) is formed onto the slat in the center area of the concave back (5) and is linked with the slat shield with two opposite exterior walls (8) that include the bearing channel (6). The curved shape of the slat shield (2) with the convex exterior or visible side (4) substantially reduces the slat's susceptibility to soiling The double-sided connection of the support panel (3) via the two exterior walls (8) results in a static stabilization of the slat shield (2) and allows for the possibility of giving it material-saving, slender and pleasant shapes.
