Ventilation grille frame, ventilation grille slats and ventilation grille, and method for producing a ventilation grille

Abstract

The invention relates to ventilation grilles ( 22, 24 ), ventilation grille frames ( 10 ) and ventilation grille slats ( 12, 14 ), and to methods of producing ventilation grilles ( 22, 24 ). According to the invention, the ventilation grille frame ( 10 ) comprises horizontal slat holders ( 16 ) and vertical slat holders ( 18 ) which lie at least substantially in one plane. As a result, one and the same ventilation grille frame ( 10 ) can be selectively fitted with horizontal or vertical ventilation grille slats ( 12, 14 ), thus achieving a flexible configuration.

1 . A ventilation grille frame for holding ventilation grille slats, with the ventilation grille frame having horizontal slat holders and vertical slat holders, characterized in that the horizontal slat holders and the vertical slat holders lie at least substantially in a plane. 
   
   
       2 . The ventilation grille frame of  claim 1 , characterized in that the horizontal slat holders and/or the vertical slat holders are formed by recesses. 
   
   
       3 . The ventilation grille frame of  claim 1 , characterized in that the recesses are cuboidal. 
   
   
       4 . A ventilation grille slat, characterized in that it has a foot, preferably a cuboidal foot, at at least one of its axial end sections. 
   
   
       5 . The ventilation grille slat of  claim 4 , characterized in that the at least one foot is rotatable. 
   
   
       6 . A ventilation grille having a ventilation grille frame, which has horizontal slat holders and vertical slat holders which lie substantially in a plane, with ventilation grille slats being inserted into at least some of the horizontal slat holders. 
   
   
       7 . The ventilation grille of  claim 6 , characterized in that at least one slat support is inserted into the vertical slat holders. 
   
   
       8 . The ventilation grille of  claim 6 , characterized in that at least a part of the ventilation grille frame is covered by a ventilation grille faceplate which presses the ventilation grille slats into the horizontal slat holders in order to produce a positive fit and which if appropriate presses the at least one slat support into vertical slat holders in order to produce a positive fit. 
   
   
       9 . The ventilation grille of  claim 6 , characterized in that at least some of the horizontal slat holders are unoccupied. 
   
   
       10 . A ventilation grille having a ventilation grille frame, which has horizontal slat holders and vertical slat holders which lie substantially in a plane, with ventilation grille slats being inserted into at least some of the vertical slat holders. 
   
   
       11 . The ventilation grille of  claim 10 , characterized in that at least a part of the ventilation grille frame is covered by a ventilation grille faceplate which presses the ventilation grille slats into the vertical slat holders in order to produce a positive fit. 
   
   
       12 . The ventilation grille of  claim 10 , characterized in that at least some of the vertical slat holders are unoccupied. 
   
   
       13 . A ventilation grille having a first ventilation grille frame, which has horizontal slat holders and vertical slat holders which lie substantially in a plane, with ventilation grille slats, in particular ventilation grille slats, being inserted into at least some of the horizontal slat holders, and having a second ventilation grille frame arranged upstream or downstream of the first ventilation grille frame with respect to the expected air flow, which second ventilation grille frame has horizontal slat holders and vertical slat holders which lie substantially in a plane, with ventilation grille slats being inserted into at least some of the vertical slat holders. 
   
   
       14 . The ventilation grille of  claim 13 , characterized in that at least some of the horizontal slat holders and/or vertical slat holders are unoccupied. 
   
   
       15 . A method for producing a ventilation grille, having the following steps:
 providing a ventilation grille frame, which has horizontal slat holders and vertical slat holders which lie substantially in a plane, and   inserting ventilation grille slats into at least some of the horizontal slat holders or inserting ventilation grille slats into at least some of the vertical slat holders.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , characterized in that said method comprises the following further step:
 inserting at least one slat support into the horizontal slat holders or the vertical slat holders.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , characterized in that said method comprises the  15  following further step:
 covering at least a part of the ventilation grille frame with a ventilation grille faceplate which presses the ventilation grille slats into the horizontal slat holders in order to produce a positive fit and which if appropriate presses the at least one slat support into the vertical slat holders in order to produce a positive fit.
