Abstract (en)

A device for raising and lowering a flexible element which can be rolled up, such as a fabric (23), comprises: two vertical, prismatic profiles (3,4) lying at a mutual distance, at least a part of which has a cross-section with a general U-shape, the openings of these U's being directed toward each other; two gliders (7,8) which are slidable in the U's and between which there extends a rod (6) which is connected to the lower edge of the flexible element; a winding rod which is arranged on the upper side of the profiles (3,4) and is rotatable, for instance under spring load, and onto which the flexible element can be wound in upward direction by the spring load; which gliders (7,8) have two stable pivot positions relative to the U's, in the one of which positions the gliders (7,8) can glide in the U's with negligible friction, and in the other of which positions the gliders are blocked against displacement such that the position of the flexible element is fixed relative to the profiles. <IMAGE>
