(54) Mechanism for the controlled retracting movement of a roller insect-blocking foil means


(57) A mechanism for the controlled retracting movement of a roller insect-blocking foil means. The mechanism comprises wear-free, reliable components and is of simple construction and assembly, incorporating means for selective activation thereof in the retracting, rolling up direction of movement of the roller insect-blocking foil means (1) only. The mechanism consists in the connection of the drum (8) moving under the action of resilient spring means during rolling up of the insect-blocking foil means (1) to a shaft means (9) moving within a chamber (7) incorporating a relatively viscosity independent chamber filling medium to effect a frictionally enhanced and constantly acting movement of the retarding mechanism. The filling medium is either a malleable solid substance or a fluid means acting in association with an arrangement of diaphragms (12) being provided with a plurality of perforations (12a) for selectively allowing passage of the fluid means.
